Austin's eye twitched uncontrollably.Brian's implications were clear to him now.He couldn't tolerate such compromisesBrian gently patted Austin's shoulder and got up to dance with his teammates.Suddenly, Austin asked, "Brian, are we really never getting out of here?""Mm-hmm," Brian replied.Unwillingly, Austin asked, "Has anyone ever successfully escaped?"It was just a simple question, but it made Brian pause in his tracks. His body trembled slightly.After a two-second pause, he suddenly lowered his voice."Ten years ago, someone did manage to escape. That's the only one I know of since I've been in charge."Then, Brian laughed."Of course, if you can escape The Grave Prison, we won't pursue you anymore. But kid, I advise you to stay put in The Grave Prison. Trying to escape is just asking for death!" Austin watched Brian's receding figure.A smile gradually formed at the corner of his lips.A determined gaze flashed across his dark eyes. He decided to live like

Under the escort of the patrol team, Austin staggered toward The Grave Prison.The warmth brought by the alcohol Brian had given him had dissipated by now.His limbs were stiff and numb.Despite this, his gaze remained firm as he looked at the looming prison. He was filled with a surge of determination."I have to stay alive. Since someone made it out alive 10 years ago, why can't I do it?"Mom, Cecily, Aldus, Ezra, wait for me. Wait for me to come home!"Grandma and the Redmonts, your schemes will surely fail. I will stand before you again."…Austin continuously reminded himself. As The Grave Prison loomed closer, the towering city enveloped Austin in its shadow.It felt as if the once-clear skies were being overshadowed by dark clouds.With a rumble, the heavy alloy gate slowly rose.It was nearly a meter thick!Obviously, those high walls and thick gates were not for wind protection. It was to prevent prisoners from escaping The Grave Prison."Brian, I didn't expect

It felt as if everyone would become tense upon entering The Grave Prison.There was light ahead."Kid, we're almost there. Remember, it's the survival of the fittest. Don't die too quickly because of your tolerance."Brian finally spoke, his tone heavy.Austin suddenly smiled.He looked at Brian with determination. "I will walk out of here."Brian was visibly shocked. He then shrugged and chuckled. "Although I know it's unlikely to happen, I believe in you."As they entered the bright area, Austin instinctively squinted.Before his vision could recover, he was greeted by a deafening roar of cheers."He's here! We have a newcomer! My goodness. How many years has it been?""Nashville, this fresh guy is mine tonight. You can't compete with me. He belongs to me!""Get lost! I have roamed the battlefield. I can give you decapitated heads, but I won't give you a person!"…Gradually, Austin's vision cleared.He frowned in confusion.He saw a number of cells. Each of them was q

"Fuck!" Nashville suddenly cursed, his expression fierce.He was the boss of this cell.He was the one who usually said such words to the others.How dare this newcomer challenge his authority?Instantly, Nashville charged furiously toward Austin like a tiger released from its cage.Bang!The sudden powerful attack sent Austin flying backwards.He crashed heavily into the cell wall.The next second, cheers erupted in the sector."Nashville, are you a pussy? You didn't even kill him.""Oh my god, Nashville just met his match! Watch out, Nashville. Don't lose your title as the bloodthirsty wolf.""Kill him, Nashville! Kill him!"The shouts, cheers, and taunts echoed back and forth.The entire sector seemed to be engulfed in revelry. Voices were roaring. After one successful strike, Nashville's fighting spirit soared. He triumphantly raised his fists and roared like a wild beast before the cell door.Austin's expression turned cold and stern.

The roar of the prisoners completely provoked Nashville.He was once a battlefield god. He had dominated the sands and left countless corpses in his wake.Yet now, he couldn't even kill a newcomer in this tiny prison cell."Go to hell!"Nashville's roar echoed through the cell as his massive body lunged forward. The muscles in his right arm bulged as he unleashed his deadliest punch.The punch carried a deafening buzz as it aimed to end Austin's life. In an instant, the entire sector fell silent.All the prisoners stared at them with anticipation.Meanwhile, Austin narrowed his eyes.He fixed his gaze on the incoming fist like a hawk.As Nashville's fist was about to land on him, his body shot forward like a taut bow. He narrowly dodged Nashville's punch by inches.Then, with a resounding thud, Austin forcefully struck Nashville's lower body with a punch.He delivered a decisive blow. "Ah!"Nashville's body trembled in agony as he let out a horrifying scream. He despera

Cecily knew that Austin wasn't short of money.This man was never stingy when it came to her and the people around him.But why would a guy who kept hitching rides from others suddenly buy a Bugatti Veyron?Even the most standard models cost at least 25 million dollars!Based on her understanding of Austin, although he was rich, he wouldn't simply splurge on unnecessary stuff.In fact, money was quite important to Austin.He might be generous to her and his close ones because they were more important to him than money.But when it came to himself, Austin was always tight-fisted. The confusion and doubts in Cecily's mind grew stronger.A loud roar echoed down the street as Cecily arrived at the company's entrance.Like a bolt of lightning, the Bugatti Veyron captured the attention of everyone on the street before finally stopping before Cecily."Cecily, how do you like my new car?"Austin got out of the car and gently opened the door for Cecily."It looks great."Cecily's

Vincent and Yannis could both afford to hire a caregiver.However, Yannis was worried that the caregiver might not be able to provide Vincent with proper care. So, she decided to take matters into her own hands.It was the first time in her life feeling this exhausted. Since she was young, she had been pampered by the Clarks. It was almost unbelievable that she was doing all the hands-on work.But, against all odds, Yannis did it!It was all because the person she was taking care of was Vincent. "Get out!"With a cold expression, Vincent put an end to Yannis' words.Yannis trembled, and her face fell.Finally, she put down the apple and fruit knife in her hand before forcing out a gentle smile. "Take care and rest well. I'll come see you again tomorrow." Vincent's expression remained indifferent as he watched Yannis leave, but he was struggling inside.As soon as the door closed, Vincent suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself."Damn it, I've messed up big time this

The air seemed to freeze for a moment inside the ward.Vincent looked at Cecily with confusion.Did Austin just comment on the incident in which he killed his father?He was puzzled. He didn't understand why Austin would say that.Since he had known Austin, Austin had never passed judgment on him for that incident. In fact, he had always shown understanding toward him.He wondered why Austin would suddenly judge him now.Cecily's eyes flickered. She seemed confused too.She knew the hidden reasons behind Vincent's actions.However, she had also heard from Vincent about Austin's viewpoint on the matter.If Austin thought Vincent was wrong to have committed patricide, he would never have taken Vincent under his wing.He wouldn't have risked his life to rescue Vincent from the Redmonts either!Austin hesitated, then he suddenly smiled."Don't mind me. I was just saying that. Filial piety is important, you know."That simple sentence made Vincent lower his head. His expression

I'm here with you, and we have our baby on the way.""I can't just let it go," Austin shook his head."The best I can do is not seek revenge against them, but to truly forgive and forget—I can't do that."The actions of Nancy's family were still fresh in his memory.Austin wasn't someone who sought revenge for every slight, but he was far from the kind of person who could simply forgive and forget, moving on with a carefree "Hallelujah."Dahlia's despair as she lay in bed, the arrogance and cruelty of the Welch family…In the eyes of the Welch family, Dahlia's life wasn't worth as much as Harvey's wedding.Even when the time had passed and he was about to finally be happy with Cecily, the Welch family not only dem

After leaving this city, Nancy put in a tremendous amount of effort to "rebirth" herself.Meeting Ethan had shown her a different side of life.While he wasn't part of the uppermost echelons of wealth and power, he had enough.

The river breeze was cool, and the lights reflected on the water flickered softly.The figure in front of them wore a long black coat, standing quietly by the railing. Her fair, delicate profile, partially obscured by a few strands of windblown hair, carried a hint of melancholy."Sir, Mrs. Campbell, is something wrong?" Aldus noticed the change and quickly stepped forward to inquire."Let's go home," Austin suddenly said, his previously cheerful expression now somber, with a touch of disdain.Go home? They had just arrived.Aldus was surprised and quickly followed Austin's gaze. When he saw what Austin was looking at, he immediately understood.Without a word, he turned to leave with Austin.But a soft hand gently grabbed Austin's arm."It's been so many years, aren't you going to say hello?" Cecily asked."I have no desire to greet her," Austin said, his disdain clear and unhidden.Three years of marriage, filled with nothing but pain.Even when Dahlia was gravely ill, Nan

After a busy day, just as Austin was about to finish up, a new invitation appeared on his desk."Who delivered this?" Austin asked."Ethan," Wolf replied.Austin chuckled, didn't bother opening the invitation, and instead tossed it directly into the trash."I've got to get home to Cecily."When he returned to the Bamboo Parlor at Tetra Club, Raquel had already prepared a delicious dinner.The dishes were beautifully presented, with vibrant colors and enticing aromas.After dinner, Austin and Ezra stepped out into the courtyard."Mr. Lockwood, any news from the Campbells about my dad?" Austin asked, the text message from Walter still weighing heavily on his mind.Considering the Campbells' efforts to find Walter, and given their intelligence resources, they should have been some leads by now.But Ezra shook his head. "Nothing, Not a trace.""The Campbells' intelligence network has never been this weak, has it?" Austin frowned, speaking in a low tone.Ezra gave a wry smile. "

"Childhood?"Austin stopped his workout, wiped the sweat from his face, and smiled bitterly.His childhood had been bleak.Only Dahlia had brought some light into the darkness.Seeing Austin's pained smile, Aldus immediately realized his mistake.He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Sir. I spoke without thinking. You don't need to answer that.""It's fine," Austin replied, gesturing towards a nearby bench, and inviting Aldus to sit with him.Once they were seated, Austin slowly began to speak. "There's not much to tell about my childhood. It was mostly just being called an 'illegitimate child' and living day to day, never knowing where my next meal would come from."If it weren't for my mom fighting tooth and nail to raise me, I'd probably be dead by now."With just a few simple words, he conveyed a world of suffering.Aldus felt a wave of guilt. He had only been trying to find clues from Austin's past that might explain his exceptional combat instincts and incredible physical

Austin's gaze softened as warmth flooded his heart.Who hasn't longed for a light left on just for them in a sea of lights? But in reality, how many actually have that?Cecily did that for him.Given her background, the fact that she went to such lengths truly surprised Austin.In the three years he spent in the past, he had never experienced something like this.His nose tingled with emotion as he pulled Cecily into his arms, speaking softly, "Thank you. Marrying you is the greatest fortune of my life.""Alright, alright, I asked Raquel to prepare breakfast earlier this morning. You go to the dining room, and I'll have her bring it over," Cecily said as she gently slipped out of Austin's embrace, her graceful smile lighting up her eyes."Doesn't Bamboo Parlor have a kitchen?" Austin asked, curious.Cecily gave him a playful look. "The chairs in the living room are so hard, and you spent the whole night on one—how could you have slept well? If Raquel had been clattering around

The room fell into a heavy silence."Deactivating the phone number… was Dad trying to prevent me from tracking his location?" Austin murmured with a frown.Ezra pondered for a moment, his voice low and serious. "Perhaps he was more concerned about someone else tracking him."Austin's eyes widened in realization.Of course—if Walter could send him a message to let him know he was safe, he wouldn't be worried about Austin tracking himDeactivating the phone was likely to prevent others from tracing his location."But who is he trying to avoid?"Ezra shook his head, remaining silent.Having followed Walter for many years, he knew the man's temperament and habits. But this time, he was truly baffled.He couldn't even begin to piece together a clue.Taking a deep breath, Ezra forced a bitter smile. "I'm afraid I'm at a loss this time, sir. There's no sign of anything unusual from the Campbells either."This statement only deepened Austin's confusion.If there were anyone who cou

Austin knocked softly on the door.Almost immediately, he heard the sound of shuffling from inside.Ezra opened the door, his face full of curiosity. "Sir, what's going on?"Austin quickly made a shushing gesture, worried about disturbing Cecily.Then he gently pushed Ezra back into the room."Sorry to bother you so late, Mr. Lockwood," Austin said.Ezra smiled. "It's no trouble at all. The older you get, the less you need. I was just reading."Austin glanced at the book on Ezra's bedside table and couldn't help but feel a bit exasperated.This old rascal!Ezra blushed and quickly shoved the book under his pillow.Austin sat on the bed and pulled up the text message from Walter, showing it to Ezra."I just received this message."When Ezra read the text, his eyes lit up with a sharp gleam, and he was overjoyed.
