Austin's expression froze as he noticed the men with weapons surrounding Vincent.If he had been just a little bit later, Vincent might really have been killed.Austin was touched. He was grateful to have such a friend who would stick by him under such extreme circumstances and not back down even in the face of death.Taking a deep breath, Austin turned toward the stage.Each one of the familiar faces caught his eye.His nose started to feel stuffy, and tears welled up in his eyes.His gaze rested on Cecily who looked confused and panicked. He smiled warmly at her, and said, "I'm back, silly!"A shiver traveled down Cecily's spine. The panic instantly left her pretty face, as tears started to stream down her face.That was what he always called her. "Austin" didn't change her nickname because of what he had gone through.Her nickname had always been the same. It was "Austin" that had changed. In that case, who was this person beside her?Cecily slowly turned to face "

At that moment, it was as if time had slowed down.Austin felt his world turn upside down. For a moment, it was as if his soul had left his body. He felt his chest tighten intensely.His legs felt heavy, as if every step he took weighed a thousand pounds. He ran toward the stage unsteadily. The sudden attack sent the Tetra Club into a frenzy.Everyone was panicking.The event was heavily guarded by security. Nobody could've imagined that the assailant would be the "man of the hour". Zayne laughed maniacally, finally letting go of Dahlia. Still holding on to the blood-covered dagger, he staggered backward. With his face smeared with tears and blood, he looked like a madman. "It's over… It's all over. Even if I die, I'm going to bring someone with me!"Pearsons, here I come!" he bellowed. Following closely, Aldus kicked Zayne in the gut, and he fell to the floor with a thud.In an instant, he had disarmed Zayne, pinning him to the floor.By this time, Cecily, Edward, Ezra,

Austin couldn't care less about anything else, as tears streamed down his face. "It's alright. Mom will be alright," he said.At that moment, he felt his chest tighten as if it were about to explode. Self-blame, guilt, reluctance, and other emotions tangled together, filling his chest. He had risked his life to come back. This wasn't the outcome he wanted.Memories of the past 20 years with his mother floated in his mind. He remembered that time in the dead of winter. His mother had draped the thickest clothes in the house over him. Even if she was freezing, she still insisted on going out to rummage through the rubbish, just to raise him. He remembered that on New Year's Eve, his mother would smile and offer him a warm plate of pasta. That was the only plate of pasta the entire family would have on New Year's Eve, and his mother insisted on him finishing the whole plate. He remembered that when others were calling him a mutt, it was his mother who protected him. With he

Sorrow filled the air. Everyone was crying uncontrollably. Austin hugged Dalia. His teeth were clenched as tears streamed down his face.His memories cut him like knives as the guilt ate him alive. His pain was unbearable.Zayne, who was still pinned to the floor, laughed as he shouted, "Finally, she's dead! How does it feel to lose someone you love?""You are dead too, die!" Austin's eyes were red with anger as he turned toward him. He looked like an angry beast, wild and uncontrollable. However, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Aldus and Zayne."Give that to me!" Vincent ordered with a cold expression. He snatched the dagger from Aldus' hand.Then, he bent over and plunged the dagger into Zayne's back.Blood spattered all over Vincent's face. But, his expression remained cold.His icy voice echoed on the stage, carrying a heartbreaking sadness. "What did his mom ever do to you? You lay your hand on a woman! You really deserve a painful death."As he was speaking, Vi

Cecily knew how close Austin and his mom were. So, she was worried that he might do something reckless. After Dahlia died, Austin had woken up in the hospital. However, it was like he was a completely different person. He was so stoic that it scared Cecily. He would ignore her and wouldn't even give a reply when she talked to him.It was as if Austin had retreated into a shell and refused to let anyone in.Austin had calmly attended Dahlia's funeral. He returned to his room afterward, pushed Cecily out, and locked the door behind her. Cecily was about to have a meltdown because of how helpless she felt. "If Mr. Austin continues to hold it in, it will lead to big problems. He could even experience a change in character." Ezra sighed, as he turned to speak to Walter, "Mr. Walter, shouldn't we think of a plan?""It's all my fault. I couldn't protect my family." Walter sighed in sadness. "I am the head of the rich and powerful Campbells. And yet, I couldn't even protect my own

His voice was light, but it made Vincent smile. Turning around, Vincent saw Austin staring back at him, his gaze dark. Vincent shrugged and placed his hands behind his head. "I guess," he mumbled to himself, his gaze turning darkening too. He continued, "Do you know that I was just like you in the past? I had a loving mom who would give me everything I wanted. My family was a happy one. My parents loved me, and we never needed to worry about food and shelter in Basin City."My Dad's position in the family wasn't that high, but he was smart, so we lived quite comfortably with the other members of the Redmont family… But one day, everything changed."Austin could see hatred and wrath seeping out from the depths of Vincent's eyes. "My mom got pregnant." He laughed and said, "Laugh all you want. I thought it was ridiculous too. After all, I was already an adult at that time. It was absurd."He added, "I can't stop my mom from conceiving a child, can I?"His cigarette was burn

Vincent gestured with both his hands as he continued talking about the past. His voice quivered as he said, "Do you know that when I reached home that day, I saw my mom sprawled on the coffee table, her blood seeping through her clothes, and her blood splattered on the ground?"Her stomach was split open vertically. Her eyes were wide," he said. "The baby lay in a messy pool of blood on the ground as if it was thrown onto the floor like trash. It was already eight months along. I could see that it was a boy. The knife was still stuck in his abdomen." Vincent trembled uncontrollably. His eyes showed fear, resulting from the memories that threatened to overwhelm him. There was also rage in his eyes, and sometimes a murderous look in them. It looked like he was on the verge of losing his sanity. "Two slashes was all it took," he muttered. "My mom died, and my little brother was gone too. I no longer have a family. The harlot and that darned old man who calls himself my father sh
