Chapter 1536

Insult

After three peaceful years, it never crossed Sasha’s mind that their family would go through another
turmoil.

She had completely lost herself in the tranquil and blissful moments until the day finally arrived.

Upon landing, she tracked his smartphone location and traveled there immediately.

Much to her surprise, she discovered that the place was none other than the thousand-year-old temple
hidden in the mountains.

Why? Why is he here? What happened to him?



Sasha stumbled her way into the temple. Passing by fumes of sandalwood smoke and following the faint
chanting voices, she found herself at the gate of the main hall. She looked across it and saw Shin sitting
on the floor with his legs crossed.

Sensing her presence, he took a side glance at her.



Sasha was in extreme shock when their eyes met.

With just one glance, she saw a usually nonchalant gaze shrouded in gloom.

Her mind went blank, and she collapsed onto the ground.

When Sasha regained her consciousness, it was already nightfall.



She opened her bleary eyes and saw the warm orange lights in the ever-familiar meditation abode. She
moved slowly, trying to prop herself up.

“You’re awake?” Devin asked as he rushed over to assist her.

Sasha looked straight into his eyes and queried, “What happened to him?”

He said nothing.

After a long pause, Devin stood by her bed and broke the silence. “When he was driving home one night,
he passed by a tunnel. Suddenly, the walls caved in and buried him. Since the moment he was brought
to safety, he has never… never woken up.”

“What?”

The news came as a bombshell, leaving a ghastly Sasha slumped against the bed. She could not utter a
single word for the longest time.

The walls caved in all of a sudden? How come? Why didn’t it happen at any other time but when he was
driving through it?

Bursting into tears, she wailed hysterically. Her mind was all over the place, and she seemed to lose her
sanity gradually.

“The walls collapsed? That’s a planned murder! There is no coincidence in this world. Did the people
from the White House do it? Is it them? Those useless bastards! How could they harm him just because
he’s more capable?” she bellowed in rage as she struggled to get off the bed, wanting to take revenge on
those people.

Devin stopped her with all his might.

“Calm down, Sasha. It’s not what you think.”



“It’s not? Then, what is it? Is it a real accident? Let me tell you, Devin. When I was at his office the other
day, I heard the gossip with my own ears. Those pieces of trash were displeased with him. I tried to
persuade him to get out of it, but he wanted to stabilize the political situation first. What gives? Why did
they do this to him? Aren’t they afraid of karma?” she kept roaring furiously.

Battling with the suffocating thought that Sebastian was harmed intentionally, she channeled all of her
frustration into an endless scream.

Her heart ached so badly that her eyes turned bloodshot red.

Those people are the real monsters. They have totally forgotten about the price that the Jadesons have
to pay in order to trade for the halcyon days that lasted this long. Why did they do this to him? Don’t they
know that he’s the one holding the fort? These people should go to hell!

Shortly after, Sasha cried herself unconscious.

Upon receiving the news, Jonathan and the rest of the family rushed over to see her. Subsequently, they
locked the door, fearing that she would do something aggressive out of anger.

Devin asked, “Grandpa?”

Jonathan replied, “Let’s go down the mountain. I thought I could spend the rest of my days in this serene
place happily, but apparently, they didn’t want me to. Fine, I shall grant them their final wish!”

Though Jonathan was already pushing ninety, he still exuded an intimidating aura, especially when he
uttered the last line through gritted teeth under the dim light.

Then, Devin left with him, leaving Shin behind to take care of the couple.

Ironically, the young man who used to chat over a cup of tea with him was now lying motionless on the
bed while being plugged into a ventilator. Next to him was a complete set of surveillance devices.



The entire meditation abode had been transformed into a well-equipped room filled with technologies.

Sasha, who was locked in the room next to his, was asleep after she fainted.

In the evening, a coup took place.

When the news about what had happened to Sebastian went viral, the entire military base started getting
ready to oust him from power.

However, it did not take long before Jonathan personally led Devin to destroy that bunch of useless
pricks.

It was an irony.

Just like what Sasha had lamented, the Jadesons fought their best three years ago to trade for the peace
they could now enjoy. Yet, three years later, this precious tranquility was ruined in the hands of incapable
rulers.

Sebastian, Sasha, and their family almost died defending themselves in the chaos. Never in a million
years would they have imagined this was how the White House would repay the Jadesons.

After dissolving the army, Jonathan headed straight into the congress hall.

“Lo and behold, I, Jonathan Jadeson, am still alive and kicking! It has only been days since I went up to
the mountains, so how dare you lay your dirty fingers on my grandson? Are you really thinking that our
time is up? That it’s the end of an era after three years in power? Dream on! I’ll show you who’s the
boss.”

With that, Jonathan pulled the trigger without hesitation and put a bullet through the head of the
President!
