Chapter523
Chapter523 Krel did not leave Cherrly Restaurant through the front door. He couldn’t. The moment Felix and the others departed through the back entrance, the atmosphere outside the restaurant grew volatile. The excited cheers for Emperor Felix mixed with sharp whispers some admiring, others mocking, and a few openly hostile. Krel saw it through the glass panels. People pointing. People laughing. People holding up their phones, clearly hoping to capture him next. His hands shook as he pulled a cap low over his head and wrapped a scarf around his face, disguising himself as best as he could. Gone was the proud manager who once strutted across the dining floor with authority. What remained was a frightened man trying to slip through cracks that no longer existed. He waited. Counted his breaths. Then, when the noise surged elsewhere, he bolted out of the Restraunt. He kept his head down, shoulders hunched, moving quickly through side streets and dimmer transport corridors.
Chapter522
Chapter522 The corridors of the Nepa Clan’s grand mansion had never felt this long. Nepa Light followed the servant in silence, his footsteps echoing faintly against polished marble floors as they moved deeper into the heart of the estate. The air grew heavier with every turn, the décor shifting subtly less ornamental, more imposing. They were heading upward. Higher than the residential wings. Higher than the entertainment halls. Past guarded staircases and reinforced corridors until they reached the main apartment the tallest and most dominant structure within the mansion. The seat of authority. The servant stopped before a pair of massive doors carved with the Nepa Clan’s insignia. He didn’t announce Light. He didn’t knock.He simply stepped aside. “You may enter, Young Master,” he said quietly. Light swallowed. The doors opened. The moment Light stepped inside, the doors shut behind him with a thunderous boom that echoed like a verdict being sealed. “Have you gro
Chapter521
Chapter521 The moment Felix turned away from Krel and led Serena and Christene toward the distinguished seating area, the atmosphere inside Cherrly Restaurant changed completely. It wasn’t subtle. It was explosive. What had begun as whispers turned into a rising wave of murmurs, gasps, and hurried conversations layered on top of one another. Customers leaned over tables, stood from their seats, and openly pointed toward Felix’s retreating back. Phones were everywhere. Someone near the window had already lifted their device high, the camera shaking slightly as excitement overpowered steady hands. “Did you see that?” “That’s the Emperor. The Emperor of Victorium!” “He owns the restaurant?!” “I thought this place belonged to a board!” “No wonder that guy shut up instantly!” A young woman at a nearby table was already speaking rapidly into her phone, her voice hushed but vibrating with thrill. “ I swear I’m not lying, I’m right here, it just happened. The Emperor of Victo

Chapter520 “…And this one,” she said proudly, lifting a slim crystal box and turning it so the light caught every polished edge, "it was imported directly from the inner trade districts. Do you know how hard it was to get this?” She placed it carefully on the table among a small mountain of luxury goods, jewelry cases, fabric rolls, rare snacks, accessories, and boxes Felix was fairly certain cost more than an entire city block in some outer districts. Serena leaned forward, eyes sparkling despite herself. “That’s beautiful.” “Right?” Christene grinned, clearly satisfied. “Worth every credit.” Felix watched the scene with quiet amusement, arms folded loosely. The guesthouse living room felt warm and alive very different from the cold political undercurrents swirling beyond its walls. Then his phone vibrated. Felix glanced down. One look at the caller ID was enough to make the faint smile disappear. It was Robeca. The new manager he just appointaed a day ago. He exc
Chapter519
Chapter519 Prime Minister Ulgan followed the security guard into the Victorium guesthouse with measured steps, his expression composed, his posture immaculate. The moment he crossed the threshold of the living room, the atmosphere subtly shifted not with pressure, but with awareness. Authority had entered the room. Gene was the first to react. The newly appointed Commander of the Imperium Port Navy rose immediately, placing a fist over his chest in the formal salute of the Imperium. “Greetings Prime Minister Ulgan,” Gene greeted respectfully. Brad followed suit a heartbeat later. Though he had advanced to half step Celestial, his respect for hierarchy was deeply ingrained. He straightened and bowed slightly. “Prime Minister.” Ulgan inclined his head toward both men, acknowledging them with a faint smile. “Commander Gene. Connel Brad. It’s good to see you both.” Only then did his gaze turn toward Felix.The Prime Minister’s expression shifted subtly, but unmistak
Chapter518
Chapter518 The Victorium guesthouse settled into silence after Felix returned. Night draped itself over the imperial capital like a careful curtain, muting the city’s earlier chaos into a distant hum. From the balcony of his private chamber, Felix stood with his hands resting lightly on the rail, eyes fixed on the layered skyline of the Imperium. Floating lanes glowed faintly in the distance. Towers pulsed with artificial light. Somewhere far below, life went on...unaware, unconcerned. Felix, however, was thinking. Nepa Light. The name surfaced again, uninvited. Felix’s gaze sharpened, his thoughts slowing, condensing. Light’s smug smile replayed itself in his mind. The deliberate provocation. The way he had hidden behind status, territory, and the Imperium’s political delicacy. “He wanted humiliation,” Felix murmured softly. His fingers tightened on the railing. " And he thought I wouldn’t respond." Felix wasn’t angry. Anger was messy. Imprecise. What he felt was som
