*****

A sleek, luxurious car sat silently in the parking lot, its elegant design and calm exterior betraying the storm raging within.

Inside, the atmosphere was anything but serene right now.

The air felt extremely thick, as though an invisible weight was pressing down on everyone within right now.

Each breath was labored, the tension so suffocating that it seemed to consume the very oxygen in the space.

The pressure was so tense that it materialized into frost that clung to the windshield

  • Chapter 1456 – The Aggressive Protesters

    *****Meanwhile, while Mistress Ayra remained seated in her bar, busy daydreaming about how Xavier was going to react and reward her once he realized how extraordinarily she had executed the mission, the rest of Riverton seemed to have gone collectively insane.The entire district looked as though someone had poured fire into the veins of the city.Whether they were past victims of the Revercrests… people who had been cheated by the family, bullied, extorted, ruined, or trampled on over the years, or simply ordinary Riverton residents whose outrage had finally reached the ceiling and punched through it, they all surged toward the Revercrests’ mansion like a flood that had broken through a dam.Men, women, old people, youths, rich, poor… none of it mattered. At this moment, everyone had only one thing on their minds.Justice.Or, if justice proved too slow, then a very enthusiastic substitute involving screaming, stones, and the decorative destruction of expensive property.They rushed

  • Chapter 1455 – The Intensified Commotion II

    *****Every new voice added more shock to the room, and the more they spoke, the more the full horror of it settled into their bones.Thanks to Anonymous404’s post, they finally understand that the Revercrests’ Patriarchs weren’t just terrorizers, but that they were completely inhumane.They saw the atrocities they had committed at the car dealership the previous night, and more than that, they realized that the supposed guards behind the patriarch had been nothing but living corpses, controlled through an inhumane technique.And that truth struck the crowd far harder than the blood-soaked street footage had.Because dead bodies were one thing.But the knowledge that living people had been tortured, broken, and turned into those things by a family that strutted around as the city’s protectors?That was another matter entirely… the kind of revelation that turned fear into hatred.And just like that…“How evil!!!”“How ruthless!!!”“They’re demons!”“A family like that shouldn’t be allo

  • Chapter 1454 – The Intensified Commotion

    *****A pot-bellied man suddenly sprang out of his chair so violently that the cup of ale in his hand flew from his grip and crashed onto the floor, splashing alcohol everywhere.The man seated beside him immediately recoiled in disgust, his brows knotting together as he stared at the beer now dripping onto his trouser leg.“What the hell…”He turned sharply, clearly ready to curse the pot-bellied man into next week, but the words never fully came out.The fellow looked too deranged to quarrel with.His mouth was hanging open, his eyes stretched so wide they looked one shock away from abandoning his skull entirely, and his hand trembled around his phone as though the device had transformed into a venomous snake.He looked less like a man checking social media and more like someone who had accidentally opened the gates of hell with his thumb.But then…“Have… have you guys seen Anonymous404’s post?” he cried out.His voice was so shrill and strained that it instantly cut through the ba

  • Chapter 1452 – Releasing the Video

    *****Only if Xavier had been in the hidden chamber in person right now, he probably would have frowned at her for a long second, then looked at her with that exact expression that wordlessly asked, ‘Are you all right in the head?’Because the truth was brutally simple.He had not been testing her IQ or conducting some grand intellectual evaluation as she had assumed.He had simply told her to release the video when the time was right.That was it.But since Xavier was nowhere near this chamber to crush her glorious self-made interpretation with one confused stare, Mistress Ayra happily continued running with it.She laughed for a few moments more, her excitement impossible to conceal, before finally forcing herself to calm down.Taking a deep breath, she straightened, her eyes gleaming with renewed resolve.“Then I won’t disappoint you, Sir Patriarch.”With that, she picked up the same tablet from earlier… the one she had used to show Xavier the footage from the car dealer.Her finge

  • Chapter 1452 – Mistress Ayra’s Excitement

    *****Meanwhile, Mistress Ayra listened to the subordinate’s report with such an unreadable expression that one would have thought he was merely informing her that the weather outside had turned slightly cloudy rather than handing her the kind of news that could shake an entire city.She neither interrupted nor reacted outwardly.She just stood there, elegant and composed, her posture relaxed, her face smooth, and her eyes calm enough to make it seem as though everything she had just heard was only natural… as though a man single-handedly dismantling a first-rank family was merely another item on today’s schedule.Only after the hooded figure finished his report did she fall silent for a moment, sinking into thought.Then, slowly, the corner of her lips curled upward into a smirk.‘So… our patriarch has single-handedly destroyed a first-rank family?’ she asked inwardly, though the way her eyes lit up made it abundantly clear that she was not asking because she doubted it.She was aski

  • Chapter 1451 – Mistress Ayra’s Realization

    *****For several moments, Mistress Ayra said nothing at all, simply observing every frame with a stillness that contrasted sharply with the bar’s rising uproar.Then suddenly, her eyes flashed.‘This is definitely the Sir Patriarch’s handiwork,’ she murmured inwardly, her certainty immediate and absolute. ‘Everything points straight at him.’Her gaze sharpened further as her thoughts deepened.‘The Revercrests had been searching all over town for him… and that road just so happens to be part of the route he would pass after leaving here.’By the time she connected the final thread, the corners of her lips slowly curled upward, and then she grinned.It was not the warm smile of a bartender amused by gossip, but instead... the proud, almost fierce grin of someone watching a prophecy begin to unfold exactly as she had hoped.‘My Nightshadow Sect is definitely rising again,’ she thought, and this time, there was no mistaking the bright gleam in her eyes.That gleam carried ambition, expe
