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
Chapter 994 – The Harrison Patriarch’s Decision
*****The moment the maid finished her report, the atmosphere in the courtyard instantly shifted.All four of the initial occupants paused almost simultaneously, and immediately following this, their expressions tightened, their brows knitting in varying degrees of confusion and suspicion.“The Blackwood family?” the elderly patriarch muttered under his breath, his brows drawing together so tightly that deep creases carved themselves into his forehead. “All of them?” He shook his head slowly, bewilderment thickening with each passing second. “Why would they want to see me so urgently?”The question lingered unanswered in the air.Even Reginald, who had been mentally reeling for far too long already, couldn’t help but feel his curiosity spike uncontrollably.He glanced at his father, his eyes narrowed in confusion. His father hadn’t mentioned anything about the Blackwoods… no disputes, no alliances, and not even the usual social formalities.So what could possibly warrant such u
Chapter 993 – “The Blackwood Patriarch, His First Son, and Granddaughter Are Here”
*****At this moment, Xavier couldn’t help but study the Harrison Patriarch’s flushed face, the trembling hands, and the barely-contained grin that looked ready to tear his cheeks apart.For a moment, he genuinely didn’t know whether to laugh… frown, or sigh.‘I’m the one asking for help,’ he couldn’t help but think dryly to himself. ‘So why does it look like I’m the one about to bestow a divine blessing instead?’The irony wasn’t lost on him.But still, he shook his head lightly, the motion slow and controlled.“Sure,” Xavier said, finally deciding to move things forward.But just as he opened his mouth to continue…The elderly patriarch’s eyes flickered sharply.The excitement didn’t vanish; instead, it sharpened into something cautious and calculating.Then, without a second’s hesitation, he gestured respectfully and invited both Xavier and the Prime Minister to move elsewhere.His reasoning was simple… and blunt.“I cannot be certain who might be listening,” the patria
