*****

Time seemed to stretch endlessly in the suffocating darkness of the late night, yet no one moved or spoke, instead, the weight of realization continued to bore down on the crowd like a suffocating shroud.

The dullest among them had already understood the cruel game that had just unfolded—they had been nothing more than pawns in the landlord's twisted scheme.

They all continued staring unfocused at the smug, oversized figure as he basked in his own malice. His grin, brimming with pride

    *****“Join Oriens Group today!” one man shouted through a loudspeaker, his voice amplified across the street. “Generous signing bonuses will become yours! Higher salaries! Priority partnership access! And Immediate project allocation!”Another representative waved contracts in the air like lottery tickets.“Why stay with a sinking ship when you can board a luxury cruise?!” he yelled theatrically, drawing laughter from the crowd of defectors.And the most disgusting part?The very people who had just cut ties with Sky Group minutes earlier were now eagerly lining up… smiling, laughing, and signing the Oriens Group’s contracts with enthusiasm that looked almost celebratory.But it didn’t end there.Once those deserters… former colleagues, former partners, and former clients finished signing;They turned around together with the Oriens representatives and began trying to poach the remaining Sky Group members.The shamelessness was breathtaking.And that…That was the source o

  • Chapter 1123 – Sky Group’s Troubled Time II

    *****Immediately after Xavier instructed Dorothy that morning to allow anyone who wanted to leave to do so freely, she had acted without hesitation.She had approved termination requests one after another, processing documents with professional efficiency… and perhaps a heavy heart she refused to show.At first, she had believed the chaos would remain limited to the obvious troublemakers… the partners already causing commotion and the customers loudly demanding exits.She had assumed that once the loud voices were handled, stability would return.But…How terribly wrong could she be?Not only had the overwhelming majority of partners, customers, and clients rushed forward the moment the opportunity appeared… scrambling frantically to terminate every trace of association with Sky Group as though remaining connected for even one extra minute would somehow drag them into disaster, but even several internal members of Sky Group itself had submitted resignation letters almost immed

  • Chapter 1122 – Sky Group’s Troubled Time

    *****Sky Group.For several consecutive days now, this place has been nothing short of a marketplace disguised as a corporate headquarters.From the moment dawn broke until late into the night, the entire premises… inside and out, remained packed to suffocation.Representatives from countless companies had always flooded in, each of them desperate to secure a partnership opportunity tied to Project Echelon.Even clients had poured through the gates in waves, all of them eager to associate themselves with Sky Group’s rapidly rising prestige and influence.The atmosphere had been electric… phones ringing nonstop, assistants running, executives negotiating, and security struggling to maintain order.Every corner had pulsed with ambition and opportunity.But now…It was the complete opposite.Inside the building at this moment, an eerie silence dominated everythingThe absence of human presence felt almost unnatural… like stepping into a place that had been abandoned overnight after some

  • Chapter 1121 – The Blueheart Lotus

    *****The look on the old man’s face was dangerous.It wasn’t hostile, no, but it was worse… pure worship.It was the kind of expression that suggested Sage Myron was one breath away from building a shrine in his living room, lighting incense daily, and referring to Xavier as “Supreme Ancestor of the Myron Bloodline.”Xavier reacted immediately.“You should take your time first… recover properly and spend time with your family,” he said quickly, turning his gaze back to Paul before Sage Myron could open his mouth again and unleash what would undoubtedly be an endless torrent of gratitude.“You can come find me at Oceanview Estate, Villa Number One, whenever you’re ready, mentally, physically, and psychologically.”Paul didn’t hesitate even for half a second. He nodded his head firmly, gratitude shining openly in his eyes.“Thank you… Master,” he said sincerely, the word no longer awkward on his tongue.Then Xavier turned back toward Sage Myron, deliberately cutting off any op

  • Chapter 1120 – “Paul Myron Pays His Respect to the Master”

    *****Paul’s forehead slammed against the ground with a crisp, decisive sound that echoed throughout the silent room.The movement was so sudden that several people flinched.When they looked at him, they saw something that made their hearts skip slightly… pure, unrestrained joy.At this moment, Paul’s expression radiated sincerity and excitement, his eyes shining so brightly that they almost seemed wet.“Paul Myron pays his respect to the master,” he said with deep devotion, his voice steady but filled with emotion.Hearing those words, the others blinked rapidly, complicated expressions surfacing across a few faces… bitterness intertwined with excitement, and envy tangled with pride.They felt bitter because Paul had just stepped into an opportunity they might never encounter, even if they lived ten lifetimes.But they also felt excited… because Paul was one of their own.It was an indescribably conflicting sensation.Meanwhile, Xavier watched Paul accept him as his master

  • Chapter 1119 – “What Do You Think About My Offer?”

    *****Xavier didn’t say another word, yet what he had already revealed… it was more than enough to shatter the entire atmosphere in the room.Every single person present… even Malcolm, who had always dismissed anything related to cultivation as nothing more than exaggerated nonsense, couldn’t help but find themselves staring at Xavier as if their souls had temporarily left their bodies.It wasn’t just a surprise; it was the kind of stunned paralysis that came when a person’s understanding of the world cracked open right in front of them.‘Only frogs at the bottom of the well believe it?’The sentence echoed over and over again in their minds like a relentless hammer, striking the same spot repeatedly without mercy.‘Only frogs at the bottom of the well believe it?’None of them could escape it.Yes, their family was not among the most dominant forces in Riverton City, but they were still connected enough to the cultivation world to know certain truths… or at least, what they b
