“It’s not quite what we expected. After Wayne Gutierrez got off the plane, he didn’t head to the Nova City administrative offices. Instead, he went straight to the Nova City Garrison.”“And rather than staying there, he chose to lodge at the Nova City International Hotel.”“Some of the officials traveling with him are already maintaining contact with the local administration.”Neil Foster reported.“Under normal circumstances, they should have gone to the administrative offices first to establish formal communication.”“But he went directly to the garrison instead. Why?”Joseph pondered for a moment, a thoughtful look crossing his face.“That suggests…?”Neil Foster frowned slightly as he considered it.“It suggests he’s sending a message—that he understands exactly where the crux of Nova City’s problems lies.”Joseph said, cutting straight to the point.“So that’s his intention?”Neil Foster sounded surprised.“Didn’t the reports say he’s no ordinary man?”“This Wayne Gutierrez is no

“It wasn’t entirely secure before, but now it is.”Old Mr. Cooper looked to be in high spirits.“How so?”Old Miss Cooper asked with evident curiosity.“My dear, whether you like hearing it or not, among the younger generation of our Cooper family, aside from Heidi and Fiona, there are hardly any who can truly be relied upon.”“If only we had a young man like Joseph in the Cooper family, I wouldn’t have to worry so much.”Old Mr. Cooper spoke with a trace of emotion.“Heidi and Fiona are quite good as they are. Some things can’t be forced. Some people are simply destined to be ordinary.”“Besides, I think those two girls are quite capable.”Old Miss Cooper added.“To have granddaughters like Fiona and Heidi is enough for me. Though they are women, if either of them could marry Joseph, it would be as if our Cooper family had gained an outstanding successor.”As Old Mr. Cooper mulled it over, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of delight.“You certainly dream big—both of them, no less.

“Of course, that won’t be a problem. I’ve been collecting information on the Metropolis City Cooper family—call it what it is, their darker dealings—for years.”“Even now, people are still gathering intelligence. Even during the three years I was unconscious, the work never stopped.”“Everything we’ve gathered is stored in my room. If you want to see it now, I’ll take you there.”Old Mr. Cooper agreed readily.“Alright.”Joseph responded.Before long, Joseph wheeled Old Mr. Cooper into the inner hall.“Joseph, old man.”“Everything settled?”They had barely arrived when they encountered Old Miss Cooper.“With Joseph here, what could possibly go wrong?”“Go fetch me the key to the safe in my room. I need to open it.”Old Mr. Cooper said.“Of course.”“I’ll get it right away.”Old Miss Cooper turned to retrieve the key.Meanwhile, Joseph wheeled Old Mr. Cooper into the room.“Bring tea for our former son-in-law.”Once inside, Old Mr. Cooper gave the order.The servants quickly complied.

“Release it to the public.”Joseph answered.“Release it?”Old Mr. Cooper and Fiona exchanged puzzled looks, not immediately grasping his intent.“The countless citizens of Elysia only know that my master has gone missing. They do not know he is dead—let alone that he was murdered.”“It is time they learned the truth. Once this video is made public, public sentiment will shift to my side.”“The three great elders of the Central Council will come under scrutiny, drawn into the vortex of public opinion. They will not dare act rashly against me.”“From that moment on, if anything happens to me, the people of Elysia will look to them first.”Joseph spoke, his gaze distant and resolute.“You’re securing your own safety—brilliantly.”Old Mr. Cooper’s eyes lit up.“Not only that. I am also buying us time—time we desperately need to grow.”“I intend to use public opinion to form a standoff with the three great power families of the Central Council, to create a fragile equilibrium.”“That bala

“An explanation… how am I supposed to explain?”Toby Cooper stammered, his face a mask of confusion and unease.He had never expected Joseph to press him like this—never imagined he could be so relentless.He had come here assuming he was condescending to a lesser family, convinced that the modest Cooper family would fawn over him. Instead, things had taken a turn he could not have foreseen.“You don’t know how to explain? Then I suggest you go home and ask your father.”Joseph flicked his sleeve and turned away, his voice dripping with contempt, anger, and disdain.“Everyone else is unaware of General Eugene Wilson’s death, yet you speak of it with absolute certainty. From the way you speak, it seems his death is connected to you.”“No—more precisely, it is connected to your Metropolis City Cooper family.”“As a member of that family, shouldn’t you provide an explanation for what you’ve just said?”Old Mr. Cooper added calmly, driving the point home.“He keeps insisting that General

He had brought quite a number of men with him, but compared to the Cooper family, they were vastly outnumbered.If a conflict were to erupt now, he would gain nothing from it.“You… you!”Toby Cooper was so furious he could barely speak, and beneath the anger, a flicker of fear crept in.At that moment, Old Mr. Cooper raised his hand again, signaling the crowd to quiet down.“Young man from the Metropolis City Cooper family—if you’ve come here merely to flaunt your power and indulge your sense of superiority, then you may leave at once.”“Do not flatter yourselves. The Metropolis City Cooper family and the Nova City Cooper family have long since gone their separate ways.”“Everything you’ve said is meaningless.”Old Mr. Cooper rebuked him coldly.The others immediately voiced their agreement.“Fine. Then I’ll get straight to the point.”“These are two letters from my father. You may read them.”“You would do well to follow the instructions within. Otherwise… you may come to regret it.
