“This…”

Xavier, hearing the old man and feeling his palpable apprehension couldn't help but be stunned, but then a soft smile appeared on his face, knowing that he didn't need to be bothered about how to convince the old man again.

Although he had made up his mind to reveal the truth, he had prepared for the old man to not trust him, but now, he knew that the other party wouldn't have any choice but to agree.

“They’re here to pick—” he began without hesitation, but then once again, the old man cut him off.

"Don’t worry, son," his voice came out shaky but surprisingly determined. "I’ll handle this,” he promised and before Xavier could react, talk more, think of stopping him, he stepped out of the car.

“This…” Xavier was dumbstruck by this for a moment, his mouth remaining open as he watched the man hurried away.

“But… but they’re here to pick me up,” he finally finished quietly not knowing whether to laugh or cry. But the old man was already out of earshot, approaching the

  • Chapter 1000 – Special Announcement / The Violently Shaken Blackwoods

    *****[A/N]Before we dive into this chapter, I have a very special announcement to make.Whoooooop!!! After more than one year embarking on this incredible journey together, we’ve finally reached Chapter 1000.Honestly… this moment still feels unreal to me.I never imagined I’d ever come this far... never imagined I would write a thousand chapters in a single book. And I know, without a shred of doubt, that this milestone would never have been possible without your unwavering, never-ending support.This achievement belongs just as much to you as it does to me.To every reader and supporter of RFP, thank you... truly.There were countless moments when I nearly walked away... ended the book halfway or abandoned it entirely, but your encouragement, endless patience, unwavering support, and constant faith kept me going every time I felt exhausted or uncertain.Lastly, I also owe you all an apology.I know the chapter updates this month have been inconsistent, and I’m painfull

  • Chapter 999 – Confirming The Truth

    *****Because of Roland’s earlier audacious questions, everyone’s initial certainty… everyone except the Blackwood patriarch, had begun to crack, and doubt had seeped in slowly.Aldric’s clenched jaw had slightly loosened, Darius’s tightly wound thoughts had started to spiral in alternate directions, and even Cassandra, who had been drowning in her own haze, had blinked, appearing as though a possibility she hadn’t dared entertain had suddenly surfaced.All four of them had thought maybe… just maybe their old man had been wrong.They had begun to reason, quietly at first, then with more urgency… all four wondering how the patriarch had confirmed Xavier’s identity, if he had truly verified it, or had merely leapt to the terrifying conclusion fueled by fear and coincidence.And more importantly…How could someone as young as Xavier possibly be an Erudite Grandmaster?That title wasn’t something you picked up on a whim like a street trophy. It was forged through decades of blood,

  • Chapter 998 – Father, You’ve Definitely Realized Wrong!

    *****Despite Cassandra’s arrogance, scorn, and always treating Xavier like it was a great privilege for him to be in her presence, he had never felt rage at her nor shown even the slightest expression of hurt.Only indifference at its absolute peak. Back then, Cassandra had always assumed Xavier was feigning it, believing he was being unnecessarily arrogant.But now that she had realized his true identity… she felt even more hurt than she had been in recent weeks.And just like that, time stretched unbearably slow for her and her family members, each second dragging like a lifetime, their thoughts spiraling into chaos.Until…“Hmph!”A sharp snort suddenly echoed through the air, the sound hitting like a gunshot.Upon hearing it, the entire Blackwood family jolted violently, their hearts leaping into their throats as they spun toward the source.And the source… it came from Roland.At this moment, he stood rigid, his jaw clenched so tightly that it looked like his teeth mig

  • Chapter 997 – The Blackwoods’ Anxiousness III

    *****Unlike Roland, Darius had known Xavier more.He had spoken with him, observed him, and watched him fight.However, despite considering himself intelligent… despite his sharp mind, analytical nature, and self-proclaimed high IQ, not once had he even suspected that Xavier was the Erudite Grandmaster in Riverton city.Not even once.In fact, Darius had gone out of his way to gather information about the mysterious Grandmaster. He had analyzed rumors, traced movements, and compared timelines.And yet… he had never connected the dots.Yes, he knew Xavier wasn’t ordinary. He had sensed it early on. The man’s composure, his knowledge, his strength, and terrifying calm… none of it belonged to a normal person.But an Erudite Grandmaster?No.Even now, Darius struggled to accept it fully.Those beings were borderline mythical… entities spoken of in hushed tones and whose names carried weight across nations.They weren’t just powerful cultivators; they were walking laws of natu

  • Chapter 996 – The Blackwoods’ Anxiousness II

    L*****Aldric stood a short distance away from the elderly patriarch, appearing completely unmoving.Unlike his father, he didn’t pace, didn’t fidget, and didn’t speak.Instead, he simply stood there, appearing rigid and hollow-eyed, his expression drenched in regret so deep it bordered on despair.If regret had layers, Aldric was buried beneath all of them at this moment.It had been his call and decision.At his instruction, they had planned Xavier’s death and had poisoned him.If it hadn’t been for that single, catastrophic choice, Xavier would still be their family’s acquaintance.If not for that mistake, the Blackwoods would be celebrating right now that they know his identity. They would be basking in glory and standing at the side of a Grandmaster instead of finding ways to beg for his mercy.The irony burned like acid.Aldric’s eyes stung, moisture threatening to spill over. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his palms.‘What kind of fool poisons

  • Chapter 995 – The Blackwoods' Anxiousness

    *****“This…” Xavier, hearing the sudden words, couldn’t help but halt mid-step, turning to look at the old man with clear confusion.‘Why does he look like escorting me out is more important than breathing?’ he couldn’t help but wonder, a faint crease forming between his brows.For a moment, he considered declining.But then he noticed the old man’s expression… genuine, respectful, and almost anxious to please.Refusing him now would feel… unnecessarily cruel.So, Xavier sighed inwardly and then slightly nodded his head.“Very well,” he said, and with that, he turned around again, walking away. His pace was calm and unhurried, every step steady and composed.The Prime Minister lingered behind for a moment, watching the exchange unfold. Ultimately, a playful glint flickered in his eyes as he glanced at the elderly patriarch.How could he not understand the man’s intentions?He understood them perfectly.But seeing such blatant eagerness from someone as notoriously rigid, bl
