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. A killing intent flashed acros
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
Austin smiled."Never mind, you guys go ahead with your business. Don't bother to visit me. I'll definitely show up at your wedding looking snazzy."Vincent waved his hand and smiled."Rest well then."Cecily finally regained her composure. Still somewhat confused, she nodded at Vincent and left with Austin.Once the door was closed, Vincent's face fell. He inhaled sharply.The bandage on his chest was now seeping fresh crimson blood.It was torn open when he suddenly stood up earlier.Pressing his hand against the wound, Vincent smiled wryly. "I hope my guess is right. Or else, this blood would've been shed in vain."Although he was smiling, his eyes were filled with coldness.Outside the hospital, Cecily was still somewhat absent-minded. She tightly clutched onto the thing Vincent had given her.Vincent didn't mean to grab her. He had intended to give her something."Cecily, what's wrong?" Austin frowned, his expression serious."It's nothing." Cecily shook her head. "Le
