Chapter 1139 – “They Are Being Sycophantic”
*****Most faces in the hall remained confused, some stunned, and only a handful showed dawning comprehension.And seeing them, a flicker of disappointment crossed the elder’s expression, but still, he continued.“Fine,” he said, raising one hand slightly. “Let us assume that was some elaborate scheme none of us has uncovered yet.”His tone shifted, sounding sharper now.“What about the Blackwoods?”That single question detonated in the hall.Brows jumped, eyes widened, and murmurs almost started…But he cut them off before anyone could speak.“At least,” he continued, “everyone knows the Harrison Family has historical dealings with Sky Group. So as shocking as their decision was… it wasn’t completely unimaginable.”He paused again, and this time…The silence felt heavier.“But…” he said quietly, almost every breath in the hall becoming strained.“Why would a first-rank family… one of the five strongest, most powerful, and most influential families in Riverton City, not o
Chapter 1138 – An Elder’s Speculation
*****As soon as the voice echoed, every gaze in the hall snapped toward the owner, and just then, the man rose slowly, his palms pressing briefly against his knees as if grounding himself before standing.His face remained tense, but his eyes carried the sharp focus of someone piecing together a puzzle under pressure.“I don’t know this Grace Sky girl,” he admitted honestly. “The only time I’ve heard her name was when the Harrison Family handed Project Echelon to her company.”No one responded.They already knew that, and their expressions made it obvious.But the elder continued anyway.“I didn’t take her seriously back then,” he confessed. “I believed she… and her family was merely a front for the Harrisons.”A faint murmur of agreement rippled through the hall, showing that all of them had also believed that.“I believed,” the elder continued, voice tightening slightly, “that Project Echelon had only been handed over on the surface… while the Harrisons retained full contr
Chapter 1137 – Tension In The Greystone Estate
*****On the western side of Riverton City stood an estate whose territory stretched so vast that it resembled a miniature kingdom rather than a residential compound.It featured a range of elegant architectural designs, meticulously maintained landscapes, private lakes, and security systems so advanced that they rivaled military installations, all clearly marking its boundaries.This was Greystone Family’s estate, one of the five five-rank families of Riverton City… a power whose influence could tilt the city and reshape political alliances.Yet at this moment…The atmosphere inside the estate was suffocating, heavy, and oppressive.It felt as though the air itself carried weight, pressing down on every chest, making even breathing an effort.Servants walked quietly, their footsteps cautious, sensing the tension like animals before a storm.Inside the largest hall…On the elevated platform, seated facing the front was the elderly Patriarch.At this moment, the man who had r
Chapter 1136 – Result of the Earth-Shattering News
*****Since the shocking revelation that the Sky Family had been renamed the Oriens Family… followed immediately by their immediate withdrawal of both their support and Project Echelon from Sky Group, the entire business sector of Riverton City had descended into utter pandemonium.No…Calling it “the business sector” alone was an understatement.The tremor had rippled through the entirety of Riverton’s upper echelon like a seismic shockwave, rattling every major household, boardroom, and private consortium in the city.Whether it was the third-rank families or the towering first-rank families that normally operated above the chaos, everyone had been equally stunned, equally baffled, and equally ravenous for answers.Conversations had erupted everywhere… private lounges, encrypted chat groups, and emergency board meetings, as people whispered theories.After all…A family changing its name?That alone was already unthinkable.Even ordinary, unranked families would rather go
Chapter 1135 – The Explosive Breaking News
*****At this moment, the man who had brought his cell phone earlier to check the Social Media was staring down at it with such intensity that his eyes looked ready to pop out of his skull.His mouth hung slightly open, his expression hovering somewhere between awe, terror, and the spiritual awakening of someone who had just realized his lottery ticket matched every number.It genuinely looked as though he had just seen a pig sprout wings and file for airport clearance.Instinctively, everyone guessed whatever he had discovered had to be connected to the chaos unfolding around them.Yet none of the people outside… the defectors, Sarah’s colleagues, or even Sarah herself, had the audacity to ask. After all, they had just finished stomping on Sky Group’s dignity like it was a welcome mat.Asking one of them a question now would require a level of shamelessness even they couldn’t quite reach.Fortunately…“Brother Jake,” one of the other loyal employees called, her voice tight wi
Chapter 1134 – ‘Why?’
*****People shouted over one another, spinning around in confusion, covering one ear, stumbling away, and colliding with others… the whole scene breaking down into loud, chaotic disorder.It was like a marketplace during a riot or a kindergarten where every child suddenly decided to scream at the same time.It was utter madness.“Is there an apocalypse?” a man who hadn’t received a call couldn’t help but mutter half-seriously, turning around in a daze.His heart was beating strangely fast in his chest, his unease crawling up his spine.Then suddenly, a thought struck him.Without hesitation, he pulled out his own phone… not to answer calls, since it wasn’t ringing, or to call, but to open his social media.Meanwhile, after a moment, the chaos around him gradually began to die down.One by one, people lowered their phones, frustration visible on their faces.Most hadn’t heard anything clearly; all they caught were fragmented words through the noise.Now silence slowly envel
