Chapter 336: The Nation Holds Its Breath

Classic's POV

Classic sat in his father's private office, watching as the news broadcast played on the massive screen.

The entire country was in shock.

No one had ever seen a lockdown like this. No movement. No business. Nothing.

Classic glanced at his father. "This seems… excessive."

Chris didn't look at him. "They attacked my son."

That was all the justification he needed.

Classic leaned back, folding his arms. He knew his father wasn't acting out of paranoia—this was a calculated power move.

By shutting everything down, Chris was sending a clear message to whoever was behind the attack.

"I get it," Classic admitted. "But you just stopped an entire nation because of me."

Chris finally turned to him, his gaze unreadable. "Do you think I would let something happen to you and do nothing?"

Classic swallowed. He had seen his father in many roles—a ruler, a strategist, a tyrant.

But right now, he wasn't looking at the president.

He was looking at a father who would burn the world down for his son.

Classic sighed. "Alright. What's the plan now?"

Chris's expression darkened. "Now, we wait."

Because whoever had dared to challenge a Blackwood—would soon learn what it meant to provoke the king.
