Austin was stunned.He looked at Wolf in surprise. For a moment, he had no idea how he should respond.Lowering his head, Wolf said sincerely, "Mister, please allow me to follow you."Austin smiled bitterly as he shrugged. "I'm here to gain combat experience, not to take in students."He didn't want to look too much into Wolf's identity.But before he came to the underground boxing ring for the first time, Aldus had told him some things about the underground boxing ring.Part of the fighters in the underground boxing ring were just people who liked to fight. Like Austin, they came to the underground boxing ring to gain experience through battle.Another part of the fighters were shady people who could only earn money through fighting in the underground boxing ring.Back then, Austin even asked Aldus which category had the majority.Aldus' reply was something he wouldn't forget anytime soon.Back then, Aldus just smiled and said meaningfully, "Sir, how many hobbyists do you th
"As for Hellspawn, he seems to live up to his name. It's like he's a demon from hell, and every strike from him threatens to kill."He fought ten continuous battles in the underground boxing ring, and he won every single one. Three died, six were gravely injured, and one ended up in a vegetative state."Austin couldn't help but take in a sharp breath when he heard Hellspawn's record.Putting aside his 100% win rate, just the outcomes alone were terrifying to hear.Austin had heard from Aldus that even though the battles in the underground boxing ring were gory, the death rate was quite low. As Wolf had said, the veteran fighters would choose to let their opponents live.Just now, the small guy had kicked Hippo to death. Everyone present had fallen silent because it was just too shocking.After taking a deep breath, Austin looked at Aldus warily. "Aldus, why did you arrange for me to go up against a grim reaper?"Aldus smiled. "It's only when you're on the brink of death that you
In the darkness, deafening shouts could be heard.No one cared about the situation inside the metal cage.They only cared about the bloody scene of flesh being hit and the bets they had placed on the fighters.Many people had deep impressions of Austin in his white mask.After all, Austin was the reason they had lost money in the battle last time.Outside the metal cage, Aldus frowned deeply as he asked in a low voice, "Wolf, does this underground boxing ring not have any restrictions?""Restrictions?" Wolf was stunned.Aldus replied, "Weapons!"Wolf felt like he had been struck by lightning as he looked disbelievingly at Hellspawn in the metal cage.Wolf didn't doubt Aldus' words at all, for Aldus' capabilities were the best evidence to support his words.But… where was the weapon?Meanwhile, in the metal cage, Austin tried to move his left arm.Even though Hellspawn didn't break his arm, after his bones were cracked, his left arm would be in agonizing pain with every slig
Due to his surroundings and the completely unequal fighting conditions, no matter how hard Austin tried to suppress it, he couldn't calm his emotions."Calm down… You have to calm down…"In his heart, Austin kept telling himself that. He even wounded his tongue with his teeth.He had done the same thing last time, but now, it had no effect at all.Because of the cracked bone in his left arm and the wound on his chest, he couldn't regain his calm.Hellspawn stood where he was, letting out that odd and ear-piercing chuckle of his.He wasn't in a hurry to strike.When demons were going to kill someone, they would force the person to the brink of insanity before dealing the final blow."Mr. Aldus, aren't you going to stop the fight?"Wolf was no fool. Before this, he had wondered where Hellspawn's weapon was, but now, the wound on Austin's chest had already proved Aldus' words.Austin was fighting with his bare hands, but Hellspawn was armed.In the metal cage, this battle was s
There were the deafening shouts, the blinding lights, and the threat of death.But at that moment, Austin was calmer than he had ever been before.He stood where he was, unmoving as he stared at Hellspawn opposite him.He wasn't a pampered brat. He had experienced much more than normal people of his age had.He was a fleeting moment away from death.He wished he were dead, but he had to wait for ages.Fear of death was a common instinct, but after experiencing true hell, anyone would have the courage to face death."Impossible. How can this be? He shouldn't be in this condition…"Hellspawn was deeply troubled. He was used to forcing his opponents into a corner before dealing the last blow. It satisfied his sense of superiority as the winner.But now, Austin's reaction was completely out of his expectations.With a flick of his right hand, the cold dagger sprung out of his ring once again."Die!"As he growled through gritted teeth, Hellspawn dashed right toward Austin.He
Austin smiled self-mockingly."Have you seen a four-year-old braving the winds and the snow, when everyone was gathering for Christmas, to knock on doors to beg for money to help save his mother?"In the end, as the people mocked him and called him a 'mutt,' they gave him a little money, and he finally managed to save his mother."Have you seen a mother with graying hair in her 30s, enduring intense mistreatment, mockery, and beatings for decades just to raise her child?"Austin slowly turned around. His eyes were already red.He smiled as he looked at the stunned Aldus. "I've seen one… for more than 20 years!"Aldus hesitated, and he wanted to say something.But then, Austin rubbed his face and calmed down. "I know that you crawled your way out of a pile of corpses, but you don't know the difference between death and wishing you were dead."You wanted me to walk out of hell, but you have no idea that I was trapped in a hell where I wished I were dead for more than 20 years."
While Dahlia was hospitalized, Austin never told her about him suddenly becoming rich overnight, or about the father he had never met.The man had abandoned his family for more than 20 years. Austin feared that if he mentioned this matter, it might be too much for his mother to handle.Still, he should come clean to his mother about this matter today.When Dahlia heard Cecily say that it was a surprise, she smiled and nodded. She didn't ask further.After packing up and completing the discharge procedures, the five of them got into two cars. Then, they headed to Heavensgate Residence together.Throughout the journey, with Cecily and Raquel keeping her company, Dahlia was in a great mood. They enjoyed their time together.Meanwhile, Austin was wondering how he should tell his mother about his recent experiences.When the cars drove up Heavensgate Hill, Dahlia's expression turned from joy to shock."Austin, is our new home on Heavensgate Hill?"Heavensgate Residence had the most
Cecily's gaze flickered as she gave Austin a disapproving glance. "You're such an idiot."Aldus and Raquel helped put the luggage away.Dahlia sat alone on the large couch in the living room, looking dazedly around her with tears in her eyes.When Dahlia saw Austin and Cecily walking over to her, she smiled gently. "Austin, there must be a balcony in this villa, right? I always see it on TV. Can you take me up there to have a look?""Madam Emerson, the wind is quite strong on the balcony. You—"Cecily was worried about Dahlia's health, but before she could finish speaking, she felt Austin secretly pinching her palm, stopping her."Alright, Mom."Smiling, Austin supported Dahlia as they headed toward the balcony on the top floor.He knew that his mother wasn't trying to see something. Instead, she wanted to ask something.On the spacious balcony, flowers were in full bloom as the wind breezed by, tinted with fragrance.Austin helped Dahlia onto the chair.Dahlia was all smile
