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
Thick smoke billowed.Shattered pieces of debris and glass scattered across the ground.It was utterly chaotic.The overwhelming and pungent smell of leaking gasoline filled the air."Austin!"Cecily's face turned pale as she screamed in horror.She vividly felt a powerful force propelling her forward when the crash happened.Meanwhile, Austin, who was holding her, crashed through the Bugatti Veyron's windshield with a loud bang.He bore all the brunt of the impact.Austin had already let go of Cecily.His face was covered in blood. He was even bleeding from the nose.The sight terrified Cecily and instantly brought tears to her eyes."I-I'm fine..."Austin managed a wry smile.Just then, the doors of the two BMWs swung open simultaneously.Austin's expression turned solemn as he quickly warned, "Cecily, run! T-They must be from the Redmonts. Don't worry about me."While speaking, Austin turned around and forcefully kicked open the Bugatti Veyron's windshield before pul
Finally, Austin released his grip.The knife remained lodged in the attacker's abdomen. Shocked, the attacker slowly collapsed to the ground.The sudden turn of events sent the remaining seven men into a panic.Ignoring Austin and Cecily, they quickly lifted the stabbed man and carried him back to the BMWs. Then, they sped away in the damaged cars.In the blink of an eye, only Cecily, Austin, and the battered Bugatti Veyron remained on the desolate street.Thud!Austin's body swayed, and he slumped to the ground in exhaustion.Blood gushed out from the wound on his back.The collision and stabbing rendered him into a mess. His face was drained of color.Cecily stood frozen in place.She covered her lips with her hands to stifle any screams.Seeing Austin drenched in blood and his back marred by a gruesome wound, she felt as if she was struck by lightning.All her previous doubts vanished in an instant.If the guy before her wasn't Austin, why would he risk his life to prot
As soon as Brian finished his sentence, thunderous cheers erupted in the once-silent hall."Fantastic! Brian, you've got to beat that arrogant brat to a pulp!""Hahaha... Brian is taking matters into his own hands. Austin is as good as dead now!""My goodness, who would have thought that the almighty Brian would personally join the fray?"…In The Grave Prison, it was a rule that management personnel shouldn't interfere during the prisoners' recreational time.Of course, if a staff member decided to step into the arena, the inmates would never stop them.In fact, they welcomed it.The staff usually held authority over the prisoners.Everybody in The Grave Prison was evil. They would love to seek revenge against the staff as long as there was an opportunity.Yet, the firm and authoritative approach of the staff members kept them in check.This led to simmering resentment among the inmates. They could never find the right moment for retaliation.Now, Brian had volunteered to
Suddenly, Brian narrowed his eyes. His gaze became incredibly strange.Swoosh!Brian rushed toward Austin in just seconds. He then launched a powerful roundhouse kick at Austin. A whooshing sound rang out.Austin planted his feet firmly on the ground. Using the momentum to step back, he then swiftly changed angles and lunged toward Brian like a fierce tiger.In an instant, the two of them collided.The sound of fists hitting flesh echoed throughout the area.The fight between the two heightened the atmosphere in the entire hall.A fight between an inmate and a guard was a rare spectacle in the prison.The inmates' cheers filled the entire hall.Face flushed red, all the inmates were nervous.In the ring, Austin and Brian exchanged blows relentlessly.The intense fight made the inmates' blood boil.Austin was not thin or weak. In fact, he had quite a strong build.Yet, compared to Brian, he appeared much smaller.Brian exuded immense power each time he moved. He gave off a
In an instant, Austin's expression turned blank.He was shaken by Brian's words. He couldn't snap out of it.The deafening cheers and roars in the hall seemed to have vanished into thin air.At this moment, Austin's gaze was fixed solely on Brian's smug and arrogant smile.Locked in this intense gaze, Austin felt as if Brian could see right through him. He began to panic."You're spacing out again." Suddenly, Brian sneered. His eyes shone brightly.Once again, the thunderous roar of the inmates filled Austin's ears.He shuddered violently, his eyes wide with terror.Before Austin could react, Brian exerted his power. His arms tensed up, and his muscles bulged. It looked like there were two pythons on his arms."The Python Trap!"With a loud roar, Brian forcefully swung his arms outward.Austin's face paled as he felt an immense force collide with his legs. He couldn't resist it.Instantly, Brian threw Austin's legs off his neck with brute force.Following that, Brian wra
Austin seized the opportunity to break free. He stumbled a few steps away from Brian.The sudden turn of events silenced the bustling hall.All the prisoners were dumbfounded.They wondered if they were dreaming.Brian had unleashed his ultimate move, The Python Trap. Yet, the battle wasn't over.One should know that the inmates in The Grave Prison were no saints. Many of them were experienced fighters.Only three people in this building could rival Brian.Even those few wouldn't have been able to handle Brian's Python Trap as effortlessly as Austin had."Phew…"As soon as Austin escaped Brian's grip, he gasped for breath. His lungs were almost at their limit from the pressure. Finally, he felt the oxygen running in his body again.He was relieved.However, his eyes were filled with softness and gratitude as he stared at Brian.He knew Brian had shown mercy to him just now!Otherwise, he wouldn't have escaped.Austin knew clearly that it wasn't because Brian was too worn
