Chapter 1691 – Intel
*****Only after they crossed the threshold did Sage Myron and Mistress Ayra fully appreciate the nature of the building they had entered.From the teleportation room, the place had appeared surprisingly ordinary. There had been little to suggest that the facility was anything more than a modest outpost maintained by Celestial Pearl.The rest of the building told an entirely different story.Surveillance devices covered the corridors, their lenses positioned to monitor movement from multiple angles.Armed personnel stood at strategic locations, while concealed mechanisms and carefully arranged security measures made it clear that every passage had been designed with defense in mind.There were no obvious blind spots, and anyone attempting to move through the facility unnoticed would have found the task considerably harder than expected.The contrast was striking. The teleportation room was ordinary enough to put visitors at ease, but the moment they stepped outside, the building revea
Chapter 1690 – An Abrupt Turn of Events
*****The armed men bowed in unison toward Xavier, their backs bending forward at perfect ninety-degree angles.Unfortunately, it was also a little late to demonstrate their discipline, considering that several of them had been seconds away from pulling their triggers.The change of events was so abrupt that even Sage Myron and Mistress Ayra needed a moment to absorb it.One moment, Xavier and his companions had been treated like dangerous intruders.The guards had hurled threats at them, demanded obedience, and seemed fully prepared to open fire without bothering to understand the situation.The next, those same men were bowing so low that their weapons pointed toward the floor, their earlier arrogance replaced by the kind of reverence usually reserved for someone capable of deciding their fate with a single sentence.Sage Myron glanced at Mistress Ayra, who returned the look with a faint, wry smile.Neither had anticipated such a dramatic reversal, but they could hardly deny that it
Chapter 1689 – "We Greet The Elder!"
*****The leader looked from the token to Xavier, then back to the token, as if his mind were struggling to reconcile the man standing before him with the object he was holding.Whatever doubts he had entertained about Xavier's identity were rapidly crumbling, and the realization appeared to have struck him far harder than any insult could have.Unfortunately, his subordinates were still busy demonstrating how little they understood about the situation."Bastards, shut your damned mouths!" the squad leader suddenly roared.His shout exploded through the room with such force that it drowned out the combined voices of every armed man present.Several of them flinched, while others abruptly stopped mid-sentence, their mouths remaining open as though the leader had physically reached over and switched them off.They turned toward him in confusion."Leader...?" one of the men began cautiously.The squad leader wheeled around, his glare sharp enough to make the unfortunate subordinate recon
Chapter 1688 – The Token
*****For several seconds, Xavier, Mistress Ayra, and Sage Myron stared at the armed men surrounding them, their expressions caught somewhere between bewilderment and disbelief. The sudden confrontation had come so unexpectedly that even they needed a moment to process what was happening.A moment later, the three exchanged glances, each silently wondering whether the same ridiculous thought had crossed the others' minds.‘Did we somehow end up in the wrong place?’Xavier frowned slightly as he studied the men pointing their strange firearms at them. He had expected to encounter some form of security after stepping through Celestial Pearl's teleportation portal, but being greeted like a group of wanted criminals was hardly what he had in mind.Unless the organization had recently changed its hospitality policy to include armed intimidation, something clearly wasn't adding up.Sage Myron and Mistress Ayra, however, were far less inclined to find the situation amusing. Their initial con
Chapter 1687 – Enemies
*****For a moment, Sage Myron simply stared at Xavier, as though he had just heard a death sentence delivered by the one person he could never appeal to. The color drained from his face, and his eyes gradually filled with tears of despair."Sir, I..." He swallowed painfully before attempting to continue. "I have served you faithfully, haven't I? Surely, there are other people in this world who would be more suitable for such an important task. I can help you prepare everything you need before your departure. I can even personally arrange all the necessary resources!"He paused, searching desperately for another argument that might save him from the horrifying prospect of another teleportation journey."Perhaps I could remain behind and coordinate everything from here?"The plea was so earnest that Xavier finally lost control of his expression. Mistress Ayra also burst into laughter, and within seconds, both of them were laughing so hard that Sage Myron's desperate face became even mo
Chapter 1686 – The Hunt Begins II
*****Matthew’s expression hardened as he continued, the earlier satisfaction in his eyes giving way to ruthless determination.“Mobilize every intelligence organization operating in the city. I want them searching for that boy immediately.”“Establish checkpoints at every major intersection, monitor the roads leading into and out of the city, and make sure every available CCTV feed is being watched around the clock. I don't want people merely collecting information and handing me useless reports three hours later. I want actionable intelligence the moment they discover anything.”The two B-rank fighters exchanged a brief glance.Matthew was not making a casual request.He intended to use every resource available to him, and his orders would require a substantial mobilization of manpower. Roads would need to be monitored, personnel reassigned, surveillance systems checked, and countless people pulled away from their ordinary duties. The city would feel the effects of the operation bef
