Chapter 1016 – “That Was Our Opportunity!”
*****The man she loved now stood so high above her to the extent that her family was willing to chain themselves to him forever.Even without soul-bound slavery, she already knew the truth.She had lost him forever.In fact, even dreaming of him now felt nothing but blasphemousThey were no longer standing on the same ground… and that’s if they had ever been on the same ground before.As for the gap between them… it wasn’t just a step or a chasm again. It was heaven and earth, a realization that crushed her, hollowing her chest and leaving a pain so sharp that she nearly staggered when she stood.Before Cassandra even realized it, her fingers trembled frantically, her lips pressing into a thin line.Tears threatened to fall from her eyes… but she swallowed them down viciously as hard as she could, forcing herself to act strong even though she wasn’t.‘So this is what it feels like,’ she thought bitterly to herself. ‘To want something you were never meant to touch.’Yet still… she fol
Chapter 1015 – Cassandra’s Pain
*****The Blackwood patriarch moved, rushing toward their vehicle as though time itself had suddenly become his enemy.His pace was frantic and urgent, making him appear like a man who had just received word that his home was burning and only he could save it.The sight was so absurdly unexpected that it shattered the stunned silence.For a few seconds that felt like an eternity, his descendants remained rooted to the spot, staring after the old man with expressions filled with confusion, disbelief, and unanswered questions.‘What just happened?’‘What did Father/grandfather realize?’‘Why did he run away like the world is ending?’They exchanged bewildered glances, each silently hoping someone else had understood more than they had.But then…The eyes of Darius, the youngest of the three brothers… and the sharpest mind among them, suddenly widened as realization struck like lightning.“I get it now,” he muttered under his breath.Without another word, he sprang to his feet and took o
Chapter 1014 – “I Know What To Do Now”
*****A pin-drop silence currently swallowed the entire space.It was the kind of silence that pressed against the ears, heavy enough to make breathing feel intrusive.No one moved, no one spoke. Instead, every pair of eyes was locked onto the Harrison old man, staring dazedly at him, unable to comprehend the revelation he had just made.Everyone… except the Blackwood patriarch.That’s right.At this moment, the elderly man wasn’t even looking at the Harrison patriarch at all.In fact, he wasn’t looking at anyone.If anything, his gaze was currently fixed on empty space, unfocused and distant, appearing as though his soul had just momentarily drifted somewhere far away.His face was blank… so blank that it was impossible to tell whether he had even understood what had just been said, or whether his mind had simply collapsed under the weight of hope and fear colliding at onceFor a terrifying moment, even his sons wondered…‘Did Father… break?’But just at that moment and without the s
Chapter 1013 – The Blackwoods’ Only Way Out
*****“I think your family has a chance.”A voice suddenly echoed, sounding calm, casual, and almost… bored.It directly cut through the suffocating silence like a blade, badly jolting everyone.In the following second, several people nearly jumped out of their skin, all heads snapping around in unison.And there…Standing where he had been moments ago was none other than… the Harrison Patriarch.He had returned, standing there calmly, his hands clasped behind his back, his expression relaxed, and his eyes resting on the Blackwood Patriarch as though the previous devastation hadn’t been his doing.As for the Blackwood Patriarch himself…For a full second, his mind was completely blank.If anything, he just stared at the Harrison Patriarch like a drowning man staring at dry land, disbelief freezing him in place. Then… like a rusted mechanism finally grinding into motion, his brain clicked, realization dawning on him.He processed what the Blackwood Patriarch had just uttered
Chapter 1012 – “I Think Your Family Has a Chance.”
*****There was no cushioning to the Harrison Patriarch’s words, no diplomacy, and not even the slightest attempt at mercy.Every single one of his sentences was a blade, and he wielded them with surgical precision, mercilessly slashing them at the Blackwoods.By the time he finished, the Blackwoods looked like corpses who hadn’t yet realized they were dead. Their faces had drained of all color, their lips pale, and their eyes hollow.The Blackwood Patriarch was the worst of them all.It was as though the last few minutes had aged him a decade more.No… several decades more.His shoulders had sagged, his gaze dulled, and the pride that had once defined him had been crushed so thoroughly that it didn’t even leave fragments behind.Only then did the Harrison Patriarch stop, his chest rising as he exhaled slowly, visibly restraining the storm of fury boiling within him.After forcing himself to calm down, he spoke again.“In fact,” he said coldly, “I would like to ask you all t
Chapter 1011 – “I Can’t Help With Your Request.”
*****The Harrison Patriarch had already imagined his family standing beneath the authority of an Erudite Grandmaster... untouchable, unshakable, and transformed into living legends simply by association.Yet now…The Blackwood Patriarch, after poisoning the very man in question, collapsed here, acting as though becoming a soul-bound slave was a punishment… as though he were being generous by offering it.What a joke.Without even realizing it, the rage burning inside the Harrison Patriarch surged violently, threatening to burst through his composure.Then his spiritual energy rippled outward, barely contained, but his face remained smooth and empty, forcing himself to calm down.Finally, he blankly gazed back at the Blackwood Patriarch, who stared back at him with fragile hope trembling in his eyes.For a brief moment, silence pressed down on everyone.But then…“I’m sorry,” the Harrison Patriarch uttered calmly and casually, his voice utterly devoid of emotion. “But I can’
