*****

Still, inside the vast, quiet dining hall, the three brothers remained frozen in place, staring blankly in the direction their father had just vanished.

They stood in stunned silence for a long time, until finally—

“He… he just left… like that?” Aldric stammered, suddenly exchanging bewildered glances with his brothers as if the scene they had just witnessed was one that could never be real.

Once again, the hall returned to silence after Aldric’s question, until finally;

“Usually, he would tear into us and make us kneel outside all night, even for the smallest mistake,” Roland muttered, still half-expecting the old man to storm back in, refusing to believe he was gone just like that, but when not even his shadow could be felt, Roland scratched his head in bewilderment.

“This… what we just did was a major screw-up. Is he really going to leave us unpunished?” he inquired, his voice dazed and filled with confusion.

Like his brothers, he had braced himself for a punishment se

  • Chapter 1031 – The Truth

    *****When the SSF captain finally finished reporting everything, a thick, heavy, and suffocating silence returned, enveloping everyone.As for the Prime Minister, he didn’t move, didn’t speak, and didn’t blink.Instead, he just stood there, staring ahead, his eyes unfocused, as the captain’s report replayed in his mind again… and again… and again.It felt so unreal and so absurd that it almost crossed the line into comedy… except no one was laughing.He didn’t know how long he stood there before reality finally caught up.Then slowly and deliberately, he released a long breath before waving a hand.In the following second, the SSF captain snapped to attention and stepped back, and only then did the Prime Minister gaze back at the aides.“Is all of the report true?” he askedUnlike before, his voice was calm… too calm, in fact.There was no anger, no disbelief, and no sarcasm. Just composed and chilling neutrality.But the instant the aides heard that tone, their bodies rea

  • Chapter 1030 – The Prime Minister's Explosion II

    *****“There… there is no one in the vehicle,” the SSF captain reported, each word measured, cautious, and painfully respectful.However, the instant the words landed, the Prime Minister’s jaw tightened… not with confusion, but with pure, unfiltered fury.“Of course not!” he snapped, the words exploding out of him like a gunshot.As for the five aides, they froze in place, none of them even breathing for a second. Then…“How… how is this possible?” the OSD exclaimed, her voice pitching higher as disbelief took over.Her eyes widened as if reality itself had just betrayed her. “Didn’t… didn’t the Wise Old Man say the Black Voodoo user must be present, that a black magic that powerful can’t be performed unless the caster is physically present with the subject?”The others immediately furrowed their brows, their expressions twisting.One of them even opened his mouth, closed it, then opened it again, clearly struggling to align facts with nonsense.Meanwhile, the Prime Minister

  • Chapter 1029 – The Prime Minister's Explosion

    *****“What in the great, wide world is actually going on here?!” he finally exploded, his voice thundering across the street.“Can someone… anyone please speak like I am standing right here and explain what is happening to me?!”The aides flinched violently.But instead of answering him… they ignored him again, all of them exchanging grave glances.“The Wise Old Man also mentioned,” another aide continued thoughtfully, rubbing his chin, “that after release, the Prime Minister would be extremely sullen, irritable, and unusually hostile.”“…Yes,” another gravely nodded his head. “Very aggressive and even possibly prone to shouting.”And… that was it.At first, the Prime Minister simply stood there, rigid and unmoving… like a man whose soul had momentarily left his body.But then…Dang it!!!”The curse suddenly erupted from his mouth like a grenade, making the aides nearly jump out of their skin.In the following second, their faces drained of color, panic exploding across t

  • Chapter 1028 – The “Ironic” Moment

    *****The Prime Minister hated the first possibility that dawned on him… that he was dreaming, because that would mean his meeting with Xavier had never happened. And that, by itself, was more terrifying than any ambush.The second possibility was even more ridiculous… he was on a movie set.Why in the vast world would he… the sitting Prime Minister be randomly placed in a movie production without his knowledge?Neither explanation made sense, and yet…‘What other explanation is there?’For the first time in decades, the Prime Minister felt dangerously close to losing his grip on logic.Without even realizing it, his chest tightened, his breathing grew shallow.Then… slowly he inhaled deeply, forcing himself to calm down, crushing the rising panic with iron discipline.He had survived coups, assassinations, and political monsters far worse than this even before he reached his present state of control and composure. Losing his mind now would be unacceptable.So… he lifted his

  • Chapter 1027 – Where Is The Camera and Movie Production Team?

    *****Watching his aides bombard him with frantic questions at this moment and seeing the sheer panic heavily etched across their faces, the kind of fear reserved for national disasters… the Prime Minister couldn’t help but feel utterly and profoundly lost.They stared at him as though he had just crawled back from the brink of death.Before the Prime Minister even realized it, his brows knitted so tightly that they nearly fused together, deep lines carving into his forehead.His eyes narrowed and became unfocused, darting from one anxious face to another. In fact, if anyone looked closely enough at the old man right now, they would’ve sworn they could see literal question marks spinning above his head.Everything that had just happened replayed in fragments inside his mind… disjointed, surreal, and absurd. It felt less like a memory and more like a badly edited movie scene he hadn’t auditioned for.So… he did the only thing that made sense to him.Still squinting and still vis

  • Chapter 1026 – The Bizarre Scene

    *****“It seems… the guy has released his control over the Prime Minister,” one of them muttered cautiously.“That voice just now,” another added slowly, eyes widening a fraction, “that is definitely the Prime Minister speaking.”“Hm.” The third nodded her head in agreement, her gaze sharp as she studied him closely. “Didn’t you see his confusion? He most likely has no idea what happened over the past hour. That’s the typical aftermath of being controlled by black voodoo.”The Prime Minister’s eyelid twitched.Meanwhile, only after arriving at this collective conclusion did the six finally exhale deeply, appearing as though a massive burden had been lifted from their shoulders.The tension in their stances also loosened, intense relief washing over their faces.However… this relief only lasted exactly one second.In the very next moment, their eyes turned icy, their expressions hardened, and their killing intent surged silently through the air.Then, as if guided by the same
