Chapter 926 – The Hostile Guards II
*****Xavier couldn’t help but hesitate for a second after hearing the captain’s words, but he maintained his calm exterior.He didn’t have an appointment, but… he knew he didn’t need one to meet the Prime Minister.But… Could he say that? Of course, no, so…“No, I don’t,” he responded sincerely.However, the second the two guards heard this, they exchanged knowing smirks, as if Xavier’s answer had confirmed their assumptions about entitled rich kids barging in uninvited.Xavier caught the look and hesitated again for a split second, but his resolve remained firm.The captain’s eyes, on the other hand, darkened, an almost tangible chill radiating from him.The guards, emboldened, muttered under their breath:“All these so-called young masters… thinking respect is owed to them by default.”“Foolish, entitled brats,” the other added, spitting slightly in disdain.Before the words could escalate further, the captain’s icy glare silenced them instantly.The two guards directly
Chapter 925 – The Hostile Guards
*****The chauffeur opened his mouth after hearing Xavier’s unhesitant response, wondering whether he should protest.But thinking about his personal assignment to Villa Number One, the logic of Xavier’s words won out.Eventually, he nodded his head reluctantly, a flicker of disappointment crossing his face.With this, Xavier opened the door, stepped out, and offered the faintest, almost dismissive acknowledgment. “Thanks for bringing me here.”The chauffeur watched as the young man walked toward the towering PMO building, its enormous structure stretching long shadows across the afternoon sun.Ultimately, he shook his head slowly, a mix of awe and disbelief in his expression.“So wealthy… so young… and yet… still humble,” he muttered to himself, the engine reigniting with a smooth roar. Before long, Xavier reached the towering entrance of the PMO building.The doors towered over him, appearing sleek and intimidating, as if daring anyone to come near without any reason.He
Chapter 924 – Xavier’s Lazy Habit
*****After a few moments of rummaging through his phone, Xavier finally located the Prime Minister’s contact.And the reason it had taken him so long? It was simple. He hadn’t saved it.Yes, that’s right.The thought alone was enough to make most people’s jaws drop.Anyone with a shred of ambition or even a scrap of common sense would have treated this number like gold… guarded it as though it were a fragment of their own life.A direct line to the number one citizen of a city? Most people would fight tooth and nail for it, worship it, memorize it, and even tattoo it on their bodies if necessary.It was such a great flex to have.But Xavier? He had treated it like a casual acquaintance’s mobile number, one he didn’t intend to call again… having no reverence, no awe, and no sense of responsibility toward… just laziness in its purest, unapologetic form.But this was Xavier.Once he located the number, he let out a long sigh of relief, his fingers hovering over the green call
Chapter 923 – Did I Even Save The Guy’s Number?
*****“I will go get the Blueheart Lotus root from the Myrons today. The rest, I can source through my connections… I can’t delay any longer. And the cars… I need to buy them today, too.”With his decision made and his resolve locked in place, Xavier turned and headed into the room where Grace was sleeping.He didn’t approach her bed this time… no lingering looks and no silent admiration. He had many things to do, and because of that, he moved with purpose.He slipped into the closet, selected his clothes with quick precision, then went to the washroom.The cold water washed away the last remnants of tension clinging to him. After he dried off and changed, he stepped out… clean, refreshed, and sharpened with purpose.“Time to handle some things,” he muttered to himself, his eyes glinting coldly.But first… his parents needed to know he was heading out.He found Laura exactly where he expected her: obsessively cleaning the already spotless suite opposite theirs.She was wiping
Chapter 922 – It’s Time to Concoct the Medicine for Them
*****David sighed again after a moment, though softer this time. “Just relax and take your time absorbing your mother’s lesson. She’s right with her lectures about treating one’s parents-in-law as one’s parents.”Xavier sat there quietly, letting the words settle into him like warm stones.And finally, after a moment, he managed a smile… small but sincere.“I understand, Father.”That was all he said. But those simple words carried everything… understanding, relief, realization, gratitude, and a sense of connection he rarely voiced aloud.David felt it too, and in the following second, his face lit with a proud, swift smile before he abruptly shifted.“That reminds me,” he said suddenly, switching topics with zero transition. “I’ve been meaning to tell you… Your mother and I will likely go to our former house in the next few days.”Xavier’s heart lurched. “You are…” He leaned forward, anxious.But David cut him off before he could spiral. “Before you get excited… we’re not m
Chapter 921 – We Don’t Hold Grudges
*****Xavier needed a second longer than normal to process his mother’s sudden declaration… and by the time his brain finally rebooted, Laura had already rushed off as if she had just been handed the keys to paradise, appearing incredibly delightedShe practically jogged away, her steps quick and triumphant, like a woman on a holy mission.And watching her retreating figure, Xavier genuinely didn’t know whether to laugh, cry, collapse, or petition the heavens for parental replacements.“Mother, we will just call the estate management to send someone to do that!” he called after her, his voice drifting with the last shreds of hope, sounding weak.But Laura didn’t even slow down a bit.“No!” she snapped, waving a dismissive hand over her shoulder without bothering to turn around. “These are our in-laws… we must personally take care of them and show them how much we care about them and want them to stay!”And with that absolute, royal decree, she disappeared around the corner… lea
