Chapter 1006 – The Harrison Father and Son’s Outrage
*****“PFT!” An abrupt, loud, and completely inappropriate sound suddenly burst out simultaneously from the father and son duo.Then, before they could even control themselves, the two doubled over slightly, laughter spilling out of them as though they had just been told the funniest joke ever conceived by mankind.“The… Grandmaster?” the Harrison Patriarch echoed, wiping the corner of his eye, still half-laughing, half-staring in disbelief.Reginald stopped laughing, disbelief plastering itself all over his face. “So let me get this straight,” he uttered, unable to stop himself despite knowing he probably shouldn’t be involved in a discussion between two elders. “All this tragic trembling, existential despair, and public collapse…” he gestured vaguely at the Blackwood family, who still looked like they had been run over by fate itself, “…was because of the Grandmaster?”Before Reginald could even finish the sentence…The atmosphere shifted.The concern that had previously fill
Chapter 1005 – The Harrison Father and Son’s Concern
*****At this moment, the Blackwood Patriarch’s eyes were bloodshot and clouded, crimson veins crawling along the whites. Tears stubbornly rimmed them, refusing to fall, as if even they were unsure whether they were allowed to exist.And lastly, the old man’s body trembled continuously, stripped of the majestic presence that once defined him.This was not the man Riverton city feared and respected. No… he appeared like a man drowning.And his family…They were no better.His sons and granddaughter remained slumped behind him. Darius’s face was pale, his lips pressed into a thin line as though he were biting back a scream. Roland… usually loud, arrogant, and painfully confident, looked hollowed out, his eyes unfocused, his posture slumped.Cassandra… was the worst.Her face was drained of color, her fingers clenched so tightly that her nails bit into her palms. She looked like someone who had reached heaven, touched its gates… and then been dragged screaming straight into hell.
Chapter 1004 – The Harrison Father and Son’s Confusion
*****Still at the front of the Harrison main mansion.Both Roland and his father stood rooted to the spot at this moment, appearing utterly dumbstruck, their minds lagging several beats behind reality. They had absolutely no idea what to say or how to react.Before them, the highly respected Blackwood Patriarch was trembling like a man who had just watched his entire fortune evaporate in the blink of an eye… not metaphorically, not dramatically, but literally.No… he looked like someone who had just checked his account balance, refreshed the page, and discovered it had dropped to zero, from over ten billion dollars.And the words he had just stuttered…“He should have been my family acquaintance instead,” continued to reverberate in the air, heavy and absurd, echoing relentlessly inside the minds of the Harrison father-and-son duo.‘Who is he talking about?’ the two wondered in utter unison, utterly bewildered.‘Did the Blackwoods collectively lose their minds today?’As soo
Chapter 1003 – “He Should Have Been My Family’s Acquaintance Instead!”
*****As soon as the Blackwoods saw Xavier departing, their brain nearly exploded from sheer panic.They wanted to move, speak, shout, kneel, beg… and anything.But it was as though an invisible hand had suddenly pressed down on their shoulders, pinning them in place. As if some higher force… cold, merciless, and absolute had stripped them of even the right to react.Their throats were tight, their limbs refusing to obey.All the Blackwood Patriarch, his three sons, and his precious granddaughter could do at that moment was stand frozen and watch helplessly as Xavier stepped into the Prime Minister’s car.Right before their frantic eyes, the door closed with a soft, decisive click, the engine humming to life.And just like that, the Prime Minister drove away… taking Xavier with him, leaving behind nothing but silence and a suffocating sense of loss that felt far heavier than grief.And just then…Just after the car vanished from sight…“What’s really the problem?”The Harri
Chapter 1002 – Departing the Blackwood’s Mansion
*****Had Xavier been aware of the mental gymnastics occurring behind him right now, he might have laughed… or stared in disbelief, unsure whether to cry or shake his head.But he wasn’t.At this moment, his calm gaze was also fixed on the Blackwoods.These people had once tried to take his life.They had poisoned his meal without hesitation, driven by suspicion, arrogance, and a fatal misunderstanding.Worse still, when he survived, they had acted as though he should automatically forgive them because they felt remorseful and regretful.They had acted as though forgiveness were a debt he owed them, rather than something they needed to earn... especially the so-called Blackwood Princess, who had arrogantly believed that marrying him was fair compensation for pardoning her family... the very people who had tried to kill him. Yet now, as Xavier looked at them, he felt none of the fury one might expect.No anger, no resentment, and no simmering rage… nothing at all.Just… mild
Chapter 1001 – ‘What in The World is Wrong With Them?’
*****Finally, there was the Blackwood patriarch.If anyone amongst the Blackwoods shouldn’t have been shaken, it should have been him.He had never doubted his conclusion of Xavier’s identity from the start… not even for a second.From the moment the realization had struck him, he had accepted it with grim certainty, and Xavier’s identity had etched itself into his bones with an immovable, terrifying force.So what froze him now wasn’t disbelief.It was something far worse.He had never expected Xavier to be here… not even once.When he had watched Xavier leave earlier with the Prime Minister, it hadn’t crossed his mind that they were heading to the Harrison estate.And that assumption… that single, foolish assumption was the reason he had brought his entire family here in the first place.He had always suspected the Harrisons shared some kind of connection with Xavier. Otherwise, how could they have handed over something as massive and sensitive as Projects Echelon so easi
