At that, even Aldus couldn't help but sing Austin's father's praises."In truth, I've been on the battlefield for many years. Some mercenaries may look arrogant, but in the face of death, they'll still feel scared and nervous."As for your father, I swear, I've never seen anyone as calm and collected as him. It's as if those qualities were carved into his very being."With that, he looked at Austin. He said, "You resemble him a lot, but you still have a long way to go before you reach his level."Frowning, Austin prodded, "And then?"Aldus continued, "And then, he gave those people ten billion dollars in exchange for my life.""Ten billion dollars… in exchange for your life? No wonder you'd follow him so willingly." Austin smiled teasingly."I guess that's how I repay his kindness for saving my life." Aldus smiled, the gleam in his eyes turning brighter. "For the most part, I was impressed at his calmness back then."I was a mercenary, and I've had my moments of glory, but I'll

The next morning, the dawn was just breaking when Austin woke up early and went out to train with Aldus.But because of Austin's injuries, he had to pause the spartan training. For the moment, he proceeded with basic physical training.Even so, when the training concluded, Austin was still drenched in sweat.Glancing at Aldus, whose upper body was bare, Austin wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Aldus, aren't you being too strict on yourself?"Even though Aldus' training wasn't as intense as the spartan training from before, the terrifying thing was that Aldus did the same thing every day.His determination wasn't something as simple as just talking about it.If it weren't for Taylor's appearance, which caused Austin to personally experience the threat of death, he wouldn't have been so strict on himself.Aldus' tanned muscles were covered in sweat which brilliantly reflected the glow of the morning sun. Every inch of his skin was tough. It was as if it was made from bronze.Wi

"You…" Derek knew that Urma wouldn't listen to reason, so he could only stomp his feet and sigh.Carrying the stuff, the two walked boldly toward the main gate of the villa area.The security guards on duty at the entrance exchanged glances. They were a little puzzled.Only the elites specially selected by the property management company could work as security guards at Heavensgate Residence.If nothing else, just the monthly salary of 10 thousand dollars was enough for them to select the most professional of security guards.With their insight, the two security guards could tell at a glance that the two people walking toward them weren't residents of the villa area.Soon, Urma and Derek arrived at the entrance.Stiffening her neck, Urma pointed at a security guard and shouted, "Hey, you! Hurry and open the gates for us!"The security guard who was pointed at didn't express anger.After all, he had encountered cases of poor people looking for their rich relatives in the villa

After listening to what the property manager had to say over the phone, Austin put on a disdainful smile.After his marriage of three years, he was well aware of the Welch family's behavior.So, when he moved into Heavensgate Residence, he had guessed that Urma might visit him.Hence, he had already informed the property management office that no matter what happened, they were to contact him. They shouldn't contact his mother.Even though his mother's life wasn't in danger anymore, she was still recovering. He didn't want her to get too emotional.Moreover, this matter was his business.His mother had been through a lot all these years, so he didn't want this matter to become another burden for his mother."What do we do about this, Mr. Campbell?"The property manager asked.Austin raised an eyebrow. "I'm single right now. How can I possibly have a mother-in-law?"On the other end of the line, the property manager was silent for a second. Then, he said, "Alright, I know how

As she spoke, Urma raised her hand to hit the security guards again.Just then, a shout suddenly rang out from the walkie-talkie on the second security guard. It was connected to the property management office. "Get them out of there!"When the voice rang out, the two security guards, who were already at their limit, instantly beamed.Urma was bringing her hand down upon them when one of the security guards reached up and grabbed her wrist."Hear that? Our manager wants you out of here. How dare you keep causing a fuss here?""What! How dare you stop me?"Urma was instantly shocked. She screamed, "You're just a watchdog, and you're trying to get in my way?"As she shouted, she extended her other hand to scratch the security guard's face."Ah!"The security guard was caught by surprise as bloody scratches appeared on his face.In his pain, the security guard shook off Urma's wrist.Urma instantly let out a shout, staggering a few steps backward before she fell butt-first on

To Austin, Urma's and Derek's visit to Heavensgate Residence was merely an interlude.He didn't care about them at all, and he regarded them with disdain.If someone was walking, would they constantly look at the ground to see if they had stepped on any ants?Of course not!The grand scale of the pre-sales of Hydra Gardens was unprecedented, and it took the whole city by storm.In just the first day, all the properties were sold out.Austin had already anticipated that.But now, his objective was to strike the iron while the fire was hot. He would be proceeding with the next pre-sales project.With the one billion dollars on the orchid card, he was abundant in cash flow. He could influence the whole west city slum redevelopment project as well.Because of his injury, he hadn't gone to work in a while. He spent the whole morning getting a rough idea of the company's situation.Then, he spent some time checking his emails. Most of them were congratulatory emails from his peers.

"Quit the nonsense."Austin rolled his eyes. He had never expected Cecily to be the new president of Yandell Corp.What did this mean?Didn't Cecily say that she was working?Who would become the president of the top material supplier in the city on their first day of work?Austin scratched his head. When he remembered the support from Yandell, he suddenly had a weird feeling in his heart.Did he… unknowingly… depend on his girlfriend?Matt grinned as he continued, "Well, for lunch today, should I help you invite your girlfriend… I mean, the president of Yandell?"Austin looked at Matt's smile, feeling that something was off.He rolled his eyes. "If you're that free, why don't you help out at the construction site?"Matt shrugged as he quickly left the office.As Austin looked at the document in front of him, he was at a loss.The surprise Cecily had given him was just too huge!After hesitating for a moment, Austin dialed Cecily's number.Cecily answered the call soon en

When Austin met Cecily at the lobby of Yandell Corp, Cecily mischievously stuck out her tongue like a young child who had done something wrong."Alright, fine, lunch is on me today."Austin smiled. Reaching up, he lovingly scratched Cecily's nose."But of course. That's your punishment for hiding it from me."He was curious about Cecily's background, but he didn't ask about it. It was the same thing as when Cecily decided against asking about his benefactor.They maintained a silent agreement on these matters.Cecily selected a restaurant to get lunch. After taking their seats, they ordered some food. Then, they chatted as they ate.They had a wonderful time.There weren't any odd or awkward feelings resulting from the revelation of Cecily's identity.However, they were halfway through their meal when a call ruined the atmosphere between them.It was a call from Raquel!Did something happen to Dahlia?Frowning, Austin hastily answered the call."Mr. Campbell, bad news… Waa
