*****

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

  • Chapter 1399 –  “Not So Quick”

    *****"I'll give you five times the agreed reward!"As soon as the third brother yelled those words, the private army, which hadn't shown even the slightest trace of urgency until now, suddenly smirked.It was a faint expression, barely noticeable.Yet for some reason, it carried an indescribable confidence.Unfortunately, neither the Third Brother, Borgia, nor even the right-hand man noticed it. At this moment, all eyes were focused elsewhere… on the mercenary who had already arrived before his target.A triumphant grin stretched across his face as he extended his arm toward Xavier's shoulder, looking like a hunter finally placing his hand on prey after a long chase.To him and everyone watching, this was already over.Seeing this, Borgia's excitement skyrocketed.The grin on his face became wider and wider until it looked like his cheeks might split apart.He could already taste victory… the inheritance, grand reward, and his younger brother becoming his servant.Just imagining it a

  • Chapter 1398 – The Desperate Third Brother

    *****Being the ones directly receiving the private soldiers' attacks, the mercenaries could sense things far more clearly than the spectators.Every strike lacked force, every push lacked conviction, and the pressure they had expected wasn't there at all.Some mercenaries began wondering if the private army simply didn't care about winning.Others wondered whether they had been vastly overrated.And a few even considered the possibility that the soldiers had already given up after realizing they had been outmaneuvered.For a brief moment, suspicion lingered. Then they dismissed it.‘What did it matter?’ they thought to themselves. ‘A win was a win.’‘As long as the scout captured the target first, everything else became irrelevant.’With that thought, several mercenaries instinctively glanced toward the man they had sent after Xavier.The moment they saw him, their lips curled upward.He had already reached Xavier, and victory was practically within arm's reach.Immediately, confiden

  • Chapter 1397 – An Inevitable Victory

    *****The more the right-hand man analyzed it, the more impressed he became. After all, the battlefield wasn't a chessboard.People didn't normally formulate coordinated tricks like this in the blink of an eye.Yet these mercenaries had done exactly that. And not only just that… they had nearly succeeded.Just imagining how quickly everything had happened made him swallow nervously."Where did the Third Young Master even find such a monstrous mercenary group?" he murmured, his gaze shifting toward Borgia.And to his surprise, the man’s expression remained incredibly calm. If anything, he was smiling gently as though everything was happening as it should.Seeing that, the right-hand man frowned slightly, but before he could think much…"The private army is equally smart." The patriarch's calm voice suddenly sounded beside him.The words weren't loud, yet they somehow cut through the right-hand man’s thought, and hearing them, he paused."Huh?"His brows immediately knitted together, th

  • Chapter 1396 – A Smokescreen

    *****Still in the street.At this moment, the entire area had fallen into such profound silence that if a blind man happened to wander into the scene, he would have sworn the road was abandoned.There was no voice, footstep, or even the faintest sign of life.The mercenaries and private soldiers had already received their masters' orders, yet neither side moved a single inch.Instead, they stood rigidly in place, every muscle taut, and every nerve stretched to its limit.Their eyes remained locked on one another like predators waiting for the slightest mistake.Their weapons were lowered, but that fooled none of them. The danger in the air was so thick it felt almost tangible.Even the spectators found themselves unconsciously holding their breath.The taxi's driver, still seated behind the steering wheel, was especially miserable.Sweat poured down his forehead in streams, and his hands clutched the steering wheel so tightly that his knuckles had turned white.His mind was currently

  • Chapter 1395 – “Start”

    *****The street became so quiet that one could almost hear hearts pounding, and then… every eye widened, several people nearly stumbling over their own feet.The mercenaries stared in disbelief, the private soldiers looked as though their brains had stopped functioning, and even the Patriarch’s right-hand man looked ready to faint.'He accepted?!''He actually accepted?!''What kind of lunatics are these people?!'‘They have definitely lost their minds!'At this point, many of the onlookers felt their brains were no longer functioning properly.A few moments ago, they had believed the Revercrest brothers were merely trying to kill Xavier.Yet not only had they somehow turned Xavier's execution into a family tournament, but they had also escalated it into a competition involving inheritance rights, a grand reward, future patriarch succession, and most significantly… even blood-oath servitude.The entire situation had become so absurd that several people no longer knew how to react.Th

  • Chapter 1394 – Craziness

    *****For a brief moment that felt like an eternity, the entire street seemed to freeze.Every expression stiffened, every movement halted, and even the wind itself appeared to hesitate… as though the world had suddenly forgotten how to move.Then..."What?!"Several voices exploded simultaneously, the shock immediate and overwhelming.The Third Brother froze, his subordinates froze, the right-hand man froze, and even the taxi driver nearly choked on his own saliva.For a long second, nobody reacted.Then every gaze snapped toward Borgia, their mouths falling open.'Become a servant to another? Many minds went completely blank, a rush of cold adrenaline coursing down their spine. 'Using a blood oath?'A blood oath wasn't some casual promise that could be broken as one desired. In fact, it couldn’t be broken at all.Once established, it became a chain around the soul itself. Defiance meant unbearable consequences, and betrayal meant a torturous death.In simpler terms, the loser wouldn
