But before Wolf could stop him, Austin had already walked into view of the crowd."Look, it's Mr. Campbell!"Thanks to a surprised shout, everyone instantly focused their gazes on Austin.Everyone was wondering what the esteemed boss of Dominion had done, that someone would block the entrance to demand him to be a pallbearer!"Gentlemen, what do you mean by this? Why are you insulting my company like this?"Austin sneered as he looked sharply at the young men in suits.The young man in the lead replied coldly. "Mr. Campbell, you should come with us! Mr. Pearson is still waiting for you at the mourning hall!""What if I don't go with you?" Austin raised an eyebrow."From today onward, this banner will always and forever be hung outside Dominion," the young man said.Austin shrugged. He put on a mocking smile as he asked, "I'll go with you, then. But will you regret it?""It won't hurt to go.""Wolf, get the car!" Austin shouted at the top of his lungs.The onlookers were imm
When Austin walked into the Pearson residence, he could smell the smoke in the air.Reginald's lackeys were patrolling every inch of the path. They were wearing suits, and they had a terrifying air about them.The atmosphere in the whole Pearson residence seemed to be frozen."What are you looking at? Hurry up!"Next to Austin, one of Reginald's lackeys shouted.With a fierce gaze, Wolf was about to attack when Austin held his arm, gesturing for him to stop.Wolf suppressed his urges, but he was puzzled.Was Austin really here to be Magnus' pallbearer?How could that be?With Austin's status and background, how could he allow himself to be humiliated like that?The mourning hall was built at the gate of the house.Subtle sobs could be heard coming from the mourning hall.Just then, a crowd of lackeys swarmed out of the mourning hall.The man at the lead was a middle-aged man. He was even holding white clothes in his hands."Mr. Pearson has given instructions that Austin s
"Who did that?"Reginald's eyes widened in anger. Just then, he saw a speeding car running into the gate of the garden outside the villa, ramming it down.The car seemed to be on a rampage as it headed straight for the mourning hall.Then, it screeched to a halt.The car pulled up steadily at the entrance of the villa.At the same time, the panicked lackeys finally came to their senses. They surrounded the car together.The car door opened.Aldus' towering body got out of the car from the driver's seat. He had a cold and stern look on his face.His large body and grave expression had turned into a strong oppressive force. The lackeys around him backed away in terror."Sir…"When Aldus spotted Austin away from the crowd, he greeted Austin respectfully.Right after that, he turned around and opened the door of the backseat.Ezra was wearing traditional clothes as he slowly got out of the car.When he saw Austin, he smiled gently as well. "Sir…"Why was Ezra here too?Austi
The mocking smile was filled with the disdain Ezra held toward Reginald.It was as if a man standing on the top of a mountain was looking down at ants at the foot of the mountain.Reginald's huge body trembled, and there was anger in his livid expression.The solemn mourning hall instantly turned into a battlefield.More exasperatingly, Reginald's lackeys had attacked all at once, but they couldn't defeat a single man!It was described as a battlefield, but in reality, it was just Aldus massacring the crowd.Even Reginald felt chills running down his spine when he saw Aldus' combat prowess.More importantly, a terrifying thought popped up in his mind.As soon as the thought appeared, he instantly felt chills all over his body.He ignored Ezra's words.Instead, he looked in panic at Aldus, who was on a rampage in the crowd.He was raising lackeys, so of course, he knew how much power was needed to raise a strong and capable lackey.But Aldus wasn't a lackey at all!He was a
Before Reginald could say a word, Aldus took a step forward.Aldus gripped Reginald's neck with his large hand. Then, he lifted Reginald off the floor.In an instant, Reginald felt a strong sense of suffocation.His face had turned red, and his eyes were filled with fear.Due to his survival instincts, he struggled with all his might. He tried to pry Aldus' hand away with his hands.But Aldus' large hand was like a metal clamp. Reginald couldn't struggle free at all!"I can kill small fry like you with just one hand."Aldus' tone was bone-chilling. "And you think you have the right to order Mr. Campbell around? Look in the mirror!"With a wave of his right hand, Aldus threw Reginald onto the floor.The grip on his throat had disappeared. With a reddened face, Reginald opened his mouth as wide as he could, gasping for breath.He finally felt a little more relieved when he felt air filling his extremely compressed lungs.Because of the threat of death, he couldn't be bothered
The black Rolls-Royce cruised along the road.Silence reigned within the car.Austin looked out the window, deep in thought.Ezra's appearance had taught him a memorable lesson.He wasn't lacking in personality or capabilities, but he was always too restrained in his actions. So, he would feel more restricted.Take Reginald's case, for example. If Ezra were the one who dealt with him from the beginning, Austin had no doubt that Ezra would have killed Reginald with his overwhelming power.Compared to the powerful Campbell family, Reginald was just a small fry.But Austin kept giving Reginald a chance to redeem himself."Do you understand now, sir?"Ezra's gentle voice rang out in Austin's ears.Returning to his senses, Austin looked at Ezra and smiled bitterly. "Yes."Ezra nodded in contentment. "Your talent, personality, and capabilities are on par with the young elites in the family. But you were just restricted by your experiences and surroundings."I just want you to kno
Moreover, Reginald had set up the mourning hall at home and got his lackeys to display a banner on the ground floor of Dominion Properties, telling Austin to be the pallbearer.The onlookers during the incident had already taken photos and videos of it and posted them on the Internet.It would be an even more difficult feat to ignore it."He gave up 60% of the shares in exchange for his life. That's a good deal."The young man next to Jacob adjusted his glasses as he looked calmly at Jacob. "I don't like the smell of cigarettes."Jacob was stunned. Then, he smiled. "The ventilation system installed in my office is excellent. The cigarette smell won't linger—"The young man smiled coldly. "Well, then. I don't like to see people smoke."Exasperated, he put out the cigarette in the ashtray.Then, he said, "Austin received 60% of the shares under Regal Properties. Coupling that with Dominion, he now owns the top real estate company in this city."When Jacob said those words, he wa
Indeed, the onlookers had posted photos and videos of the incident that took place on the ground floor of Dominion Properties, and that had caused quite a commotion.But if that was all there was to it, Dominion would indeed be affected.However, no one took any photos of what happened in Reginald's villa!Reginald prioritized his pride, so he wouldn't allow his lackeys to expose the matter.Once Austin signed the equity transfer agreement of Regal Properties with Reginald, the rumors on the Internet would be debunked.Also, Austin was very sure that as soon as news of the equity transfer was announced, Dominion would rise to fame once again.After all, Regal Properties was one of the top real estate companies in this city!It was a listed company as well.Dominion had the west city slum redevelopment project going on, so the huge project should be enough to boost the stock price of Regal Properties.Austin was killing two birds with one stone!So of course, he wouldn't wor
