*****

Years ago, Barth had lived in constant fear that his secret would be exposed, that he would be asked to account for the resources given to him. But as time passed, and the Blackwoods’ trust in him solidified, his apprehension faded.

With no one to challenge him, he grew bolder, redirecting every penny of the resources intended for the needy into his own pockets. Yet, now that he was already certain the Blackwood family had completely forgotten about the charity he managed for them, he was finally questioned.

The world seemed to halt as Darius's question echoed, Barth’s confidence shattering with a speed visible to the eyes and giving way to sheer terror.

Before he could think of concocting a defense, however, Darius’s voice cut through the heavy silence again.

“Additionally,” he said, his tone razor-sharp, “If I recall correctly, my father has been transferring a substantial monthly allowance to you since then—based on your reports—for food and clothing to aid those you cla

  • Chapter 987 – The Patriarch’s Intensified Horror

    *****Xavier was indeed the terrifying Erudite Grandmaster, a realization that struck the father and son duo like a blow to the skull at onceThis realization instantly made their vision swim, their minds reeling, both of them struggling to force the mythical image they had worshipped for years onto the calm, youthful figure before them.It felt absurd… almost insulting to everything they believed.And yet, reality did not seem to give a fck, casually forcing the truth on them.It was so…But now wasn’t the time to dwell on their shattered perceptions.Not after what they had done… not after what the Patriarch himself had done.The memories rose without any forewarning… still painfully vivid in his mind.The elderly Patriarch had treated Xavier with undisguised contempt.Not subtle disdain or restrained arrogance, no. He had treated Xavier with blatant, naked disrespect.He had spoken down to him with a tone so dismissive and derisive that, in hindsight, it felt less like a

  • Chapter 986 – Will You Apologize to the Grandmaster Now?

    *****All first-rank families had already reached the absolute summit of mortal influence and power in a city like Riverton.There was nowhere higher they could climb again, unless… unless they bent their knees to something greater.Only by becoming subordinates of a truly transcendent power, such as an Erudite Grandmaster, could a first-rank family shatter the ceiling imposed by status and lineage. Only then could they abandon labels entirely and step into legend, where names and titles were remembered rather than ranked.That was why every first-rank force in the city coveted Xavier, why they feared him, and why they worshipped the very idea of him.The Harrison Patriarch could still remember it vividly… the day word spread that an erudite Grandmaster was arriving in Riverton city.That day had been nothing but chaos masquerading as reverence.Every patriarch, every power head, and every man who usually moved the city with a mere gesture had discarded every trace of dignity,

  • Chapter 985 – The Father and Son’s Intense Shock II

    *****“What nonsense are you spitting?!” The Prime Minister barked, his voice thundering through the hall, so loud and so sharp that both the Patriarch and Reginald flinched violently, their souls nearly jumping out of their bodies.The shock hit the father and son duo like a slap.Before either of them could even recover…“Who are you calling a representative?!” the Prime Minister growled, his expression darkening dangerously. “This…”He turned sharply toward Xavier, his voice trembling with both reverence and fear.“…this is the Grandmaster! The erudite, almighty Grandmaster!”He emphasized every word, spelling it out so the Patriarch could hear clearly.And then…The silence that descended wasn’t merely the absence of sound. It was as though the world itself had stopped.At that very instant, time froze, and air stilled, the Patriarch and his son locking in place, their bodies turning rigid, and their expressions going blank, as though their souls had just been forcibly r

  • Chapter 984 – What Nonsense Are You Spitting?!

    *****The moment the Harrison Patriarch’s fingers dug into flesh, intense pain exploded sharply up his arm… clear, immediate, and undeniably real.Yet, the old man didn’t even react.Instead… he froze.‘I… I’m… not dreaming?’His heart slammed violently against his chest before he realized it, nearly leaping straight out.His soul felt as though it had been flash-frozen, shattered by the realization that this nightmare… was real.Swallowing hard, the elderly Patriarch slowly turned back toward the Prime Minister, only to see that the city’s leader was still bowing, still bent so lowly that his head nearly touched his knees, and still trembling.The sight cracked something fundamental inside the Patriarch, everything he thought he understood about power, hierarchy, and authority fracturing at once.Then… consciously or not, he turned, his gaze landing on Xavier, and… he froze.This time, it wasn’t from shock… instead, realization.Xavier no longer in any way resembled the sp

  • Chapter 983 – Reginald and His Father’s Intense Shock

    *****Still inside the luxurious VIP waiting hall.At this moment, a silence so deep, so intense, so heavy, and so merciless enveloped the space to the extent that it felt less like quiet and more like suffocation.It was the kind of silence that swallowed every trace of sound before it could even be born, making everything freeze mid-movement.Even the air itself seemed to hold its breath, appearing as though the room feared making the slightest noise and drawing attention to itself.And both Reginald and his father… they had completely locked up in place right now.They stood rooted to the spot, unmoving, unblinking, their bodies stiff as though carved from shock itself.Their eyes were wide… way too wide, as they stared at the Prime Minister bowing so deeply that it bordered on reverence bordering on worship.Their minds refused to process what their eyes were clearly seeing.No… it was completely wrong, looking like some kind of hallucination, a trick of the light, and a
