Chapter 1462 – The Prime Minister’s Concern
*****Silence greeted the Greystone Patriarch’s proposal.However, it wasn’t because anyone disagreed.But instead… every single leader present immediately understood the hidden meaning behind those seemingly righteous words.'What a cunning old fox.'The exact same thought surfaced in more than one mind.On the surface, the suggestion sounded pretty noble. But underneath?The Revercrests possessed enormous wealth, countless businesses, secret warehouses, rare cultivation resources, and hidden treasures accumulated over decades.Whoever moved first would naturally obtain the largest share before everything became public property.The proposal wasn't merely justice. It was an elegant invitation to divide an abandoned kingdom.Yet...Not a single person objected.After all... it benefits everyone.The Prime Minister naturally understood every hidden motive in the room. But he merely smiled faintly."So be it then." His decisive voice echoed through the chamber.Hearing him, several patr
Chapter 1461 – Agenda-driven Suggestion In the City’s Council
*****At this moment, every person in the council chamber silently realized something terrifying.Had the Revercrests not been exposed, and they had chosen to strike... the outcome would have been catastrophic.The thought alone made several people feel cold sweat trickling down their backs.The Harrison patriarch allowed the silence to linger before speaking again."Which brings me to my second question." His voice became even heavier. "As we all know, the Revercrests have turned this entire city upside down since yesterday."His eyes slowly swept across every face in the chamber. "They mobilized nearly every resource they possessed and revealed a trump card they had hidden for decades.""They even exposed themselves to becoming enemies of humanity." He paused deliberately. "Who... was important enough for them to pay such an unimaginable price?"No one spoke.But the Harrison patriarch didn’t seem to be expecting a response yet. Instead…"They must have known that once this secret c
Chapter 1460 – Speculations In the City’s Council
*****The silence pressing down upon the council chamber was so oppressive it almost became a living thing, wrapping itself around everyone's throats.Finally..."I... I always knew that family was evil," the Blackwood patriarch muttered at last.His voice was barely above a whisper, sounding more like a thought he had accidentally spoken aloud than words intended for others.Yet in the crushing silence, every single word rang clearly throughout the hall.Everyone instinctively snapped back to reality. Then, like the first domino tipping over..."He is in the same cultivation rank as I am," the master of one of Riverton's largest cultivation schools slowly said, rubbing the goosebumps on his arm. "Yet every single time I looked into his eyes... I felt an inexplicable chill. It was as though I wasn't staring at a fellow cultivator but at something hiding inside human skin."Another elder nodded grimly."I thought it was merely his temperament.""So did I.""I simply assumed he cultivat
Chapter 1459 – Pressure In the City’s Council
*****At the same time, inside the Riverton City Council’s main house, the atmosphere was so heavy it felt as though the air itself had thickened into mud.The patriarchs of the other four first-rank families were all present, seated in their designated positions, along with the prime minister in his flowing ivory robe and representatives of the other first-rank powers.The hall was large, grand, and dignified, yet none of that grandeur mattered at this moment. It only made the silence feel bigger.The last time they had all gathered here had been the morning after the clash between the two A-rank fighters.(Reference: Chapter 583.)The tension had also been incredibly suffocating back then, just as it is now.But today…The source of unease and the shape of the fear were different.Yet strangely, the atmosphere felt almost identical… as though history had returned wearing a different face and a crueler smile.Nobody spoke.Instead, they all just sat in silence, each in their own seat
Chapter 1458 – The Revercrests’ Mansion Under Siege II
*****Every eye lit up, faces twisted with fury, and the crowd, which had already been half-crazed with rage and adrenaline, seemed to collectively lose the last scraps of restraint they had left.Without a second of hesitation, they spread out like a flood breaking past a dam, charging at every single thing they could reach.Within moments, people had begun producing all kinds of tools from nowhere… as if the city had secretly been waiting for this exact day with construction equipment in hand.Diggers, shovels, axes, iron rods, hammers, even thick metal pipes appeared one after another, and soon the outer perimeter of the Revercrest estate was being assaulted from all directions.The scene was utterly wild.Seeing this, a man hidden among the sea of furious civilians suddenly curled his lips into a smug smirk.He was the one who had been stirring the current from the shadows all along, tossing words here and there, nudging their anger in just the right direction, making sure the fir
Chapter 1457 – The Revercrest's Mansion Under Siege
*****No matter how long the guards waited, there was no command from the patriarch, the brothers, or any other direct member of the family.And this silence gnawed at the guards’ confidence with each passing second, stripping it away layer by layer until many of them began to exchange increasingly uneasy glances.To make matters worse, none of the Revercrest's direct bloodline could be reached.Calls went unanswered, messages remained ignored, and no one came out to reassure or give a single instruction.It was as though the mighty masters they had relied upon had vanished off the face of the earth, leaving them alone to face the enraged city.And the protesters soon smelled this fear, weakness, and hesitation.And once they did, their own confidence surged even higher.“What are we waiting for?” a voice suddenly shouted from somewhere within the mass of people. “Let’s destroy this inhumane family already and make them understand that we aren’t flocks of sheep they can slaughter and
