Chapter 1384 – “What’s Going On?”
*****At this moment, Xavier sat in the back seat of a taxi, unusually composed and silent.The lazy air that normally clung to him like a second skin was nowhere to be found.His face was unreadable and calm to the point of eeriness, as he stared through the car window at the passing streets of Riverton City.But despite his gaze being fixed outside, it was obvious he wasn’t truly seeing any of it.His thoughts were elsewhere entirely, completely occupied by the video Mistress Ayra had shown him earlier.The image of those soul puppets replayed repeatedly in his head like a cursed recording that refused to stop.The hollow eyes, lifeless movements, and the remnants of people whose souls had been shredded until nothing human remained.Even now, merely recalling it made a dangerous chill flicker inside Xavier’s eyes.Mistress Ayra had probably assumed he had already placed the matter behind him after calmly giving his verdict earlier.After all, outwardly, he had immediately resumed be
Chapter 1383 – Mistress Ayra’s Excitement
*****Meanwhile, Xavier, completely oblivious to the fact that Mistress Ayra’s imagination was currently sprinting wildly at this moment, calmly continued flipping through the documents in the folder, his expression unreadable and calm.Several minutes passed quietly, but the chamber remained silent except for the faint sounds of pages turning.Mistress Ayra stood attentively nearby, her back straight, her posture elegant and respectful. But internally… her thoughts were practically writing conspiracy theories.Then finally, after around five minutes, Xavier stopped reading and slowly raised his head toward her.Mistress Ayra instinctively straightened further.“Now,” Xavier began calmly, “I will give you a new assignment.”The moment those words entered her ears, her heartbeat accelerated slightly.‘Another assignment?!’“You’ve already proven extremely capable at gathering information through both Nightshadow Guild’s and Anonymous404’s achievements.”‘This…!’Mistress Ayra nearly lo
Chapter 1382 – Mistress Ayra’s Wild Imagination
*****Mistress Ayra shivered from head to toe, feeling the terrifying wave of icy pressure erupting from Xavier like a frozen storm unleashed without warning.The entire chamber seemed to dim in an instant.Even the air itself turned heavy and biting, so cold it felt capable of freezing one’s lungs from the inside out.Frost silently crept across the edges of the desk and marble floor, but Xavier didn’t notice any of it at this moment.His eyes remained locked onto the soul puppets displayed on the tablet screen, and within those usually lazy, half-asleep eyes now surged a murderous fury so intense it made Mistress Ayra’s scalp go numb.It was the first time she had ever seen him genuinely enraged, and somehow, that was infinitely more terrifying than all the previous versions combined.Seeing that expression alone was enough to make Mistress Ayra instinctively swallow every word she had been about to say.Even her breathing unconsciously softened, as though she feared making too much
Chapter 1381 – “How Could A Family Like This Still Exist?”
*****Xavier stared blankly at Mistress Ayra for a second, then he tilted his head slightly.“And… what does that have to do with me?” he asked honestly, clearly confused about why she was suddenly bringing up intelligence reports.But contrary to all his expectations… Mistress Ayra immediately responded.“This has everything to do with you, Sir Patriarch.”The moment those words fell, Xavier finally paused properly, and the laziness in his gaze faded slightly.Then his brows slowly furrowed.“Huh?” he blurted.In response to Xavier’s reaction, Mistress Ayra merely drew in a deep breath, her expression turning incomparably solemn.The playful teasing from earlier disappeared completely, and even the atmosphere around her changed.“Please watch this, sir patriarch,” she said quietly.And as she spoke, she picked up the tablet resting on the small desk beside Xavier.The moment the device lit up, several encrypted authentication windows immediately appeared one after another.Fingerprin
Chapter 1380 – “What An Unfeeling Man”
*****“I established it with the sole purpose of giving back to the only city that accepted us after we were forced to flee from our original territory,” she said quietly. “And… with the intention of protecting helpless people from the oppression of bullies, corrupt politicians, crooked businessmen, and those self-righteous ranked families who think having power gives them the right to decide whether ordinary people deserve to breathe.”The more she spoke, the calmer her voice became.But beneath that calmness was an unmistakable bitterness that could only come from experience.It was clear her words weren’t spoken from mere observation. But instead, she had experienced that kind of treatment herself, and perhaps because of that, the smile she gave afterward felt even more genuine.It was pure and proud… the smile of someone who knew they had truly changed something.“Now,” she continued softly, “thanks to the fear of being exposed by Anonymous404, corruption in Riverton City has dras
Chapter 1379 – “Anonymous404 Is Under the Nightshadow Guild”
*****Mistress Ayra explained to Xavier how Anonymous404 operated anonymously, controlled information online, became terrifyingly influential within Riverton and beyond almost overnight, and how even powerful figures paid attention to them.But throughout the explanation, Xavier’s expression remained painfully indifferent, containing no shock or amazement.He looked so calm that it genuinely felt like she was passionately explaining the weather forecast to a corpse.It was infuriating that Mistress Ayra nearly wanted to grab him by the shoulders and scream:“Please react like a normal human being for once!”But... she valued her life too much for that.Finally realizing she might genuinely cry if she continued expecting too much from him, she decided to reveal the truth directly, and that’s what she did.“Anonymous404 is under the Nightshadow Guild,” she said.But then… silence instantly descended, and this time, Xavier finally paused.For the first time since the conversation began,
