It was a funeral banner used to mourn the deceased and for funeral rites.To present a funeral banner at Morgan's birthday banquet was simply outrageous!Bryson's anger surged in an instant.With a bang, he threw the gift box on the ground. The funeral banner fell out of the box.Seeing this, the direct descendants of the Redmont family behind Bryson were stunned. Anger soon arose among them.The surrounding guests and the Redmont family servants were even more shocked at this scene.At that moment, the air in front of the mansion gate seemed to freeze.It was getting heated."Vincent, you animal! My family has let you off the hook, yet you dare act so arrogant by cursing Grandpa at his birthday banquet. Get the f*ck out of here!" Bryson roared.If it weren't because Austin was with Vincent, he would have ordered someone to break Vincent's legs by now.Vincent sneered.Austin, who was next to Vincent, bent down slowly, picked up the funeral banner, and put it back into the g

Vincent's expression grew serious as he took Iris's hand."Today, as long as I'm here, I'll make sure you stay until the end of the banquet. No one will dare to drive you away!""Vince..." Iris's expression changed slightly. There was a hint of panic in her voice. "I-I don't think that's a good idea. What if…""There are no 'what ifs.' You're my only sister in the Redmont family." Vincent's expression turned cold, his gaze resolute. "After our family got into trouble, I withdrew from everything related to the Redmont family. However, it's been two years since this happened to you, yet the Redmont family still acts like this. Since I'm here, I'll protect you!"His firm tone surprised both Austin and Aldus nearby.Vincent had always seemed carefree and indifferent toward the Redmont family.But now, he seemed agitated due to the appearance of a "sister.""So, what's the story exactly?" Austin asked curiously.As Vincent led Iris inside and began to explain, it turned out that Iri

At this moment, the Redmont Residence was filled with lively chatter from the guests.However, inside the main hall, the atmosphere was tense and silent. Morgan stared at the funeral banner inside the gift box, the veins in his temples throbbing.Bryson and several other third-generation direct descendants of the Redmont family were seething with anger and resentment. A few middle-aged members of the family also wore grim expressions, their eyes blazing with fury."Grandpa, who does Austin think he is? He's just the illegitimate heir of the Campbells. Also, does Vincent really think he's untouchable now?" Bryson was the first to speak, his fiery temper flaring as he waved his hand. "Just say the word, Grandpa, and I'll take a group of men to break their legs and throw them out of the Redmont Residence.""Shut your mouth, Bryson!" a middle-aged man immediately barked.He was Bryson's father, Amadeus Redmont, the eldest of the Redmont family's second generation."Dad, why should

Today, however, she found herself seated at the family head's birthday banquet, clearly violating the Redmont family's rules.Iris didn't know what kind of punishment awaited her, but she stayed because of Vincent's support and her own unresolved feelings. As a member of the Redmont family, she wanted to stay.Suddenly, a commotion erupted around her. When Iris noticed people moving toward their table, her eyes flickered with anxiety, and she bowed her head even lower, not daring to look up."Mr. Campbell, it's an honor to have you here. I apologize for not welcoming you properly earlier," came an elderly, warm voice.Iris's body trembled, her eyes wide with shock. This was the voice of the family head!Immediately after, Morgan's voice rang out again. "Iris, Vincent."A storm of emotions surged through Iris as she slowly raised her head. The familiar face of Morgan came into view, but unlike the usual stern expression, his face was now adorned with a warm smile."G-Grandpa…

Splash…The sound of the wine splashing onto the ground echoed loudly. It was audible to everyone in the front hall. The guests' faces turned pale with inexplicable fear.It was Morgan's birthday banquet, but Vincent was toasting Morgan's journey to the afterlife!What kind of grudge was there between them? How deep was the resentment?Shuddering, Iris turned to Austin in shock. Beside her, Vincent gently patted her hand, signaling her not to move.In the front hall, the temperature seemed to plummet to freezing point. Everyone could feel the chilling aura emanating from Austin.He was arrogant, domineering, and unabashedly audacious.Morgan clenched the wine bottle tightly, his face as cold as ice, his gaze flickering like that of a hungry beast. "Austin Campbell, do you even know where you are?" Amadeus erupted in fury, his features contorted to the extreme. "Even the head of the Campbells wouldn't dare insult the Redmont family like this!"In an instant, the members of t

Overwhelmingly murderous intent emanated from Austin's body as his narrowed eyes gradually turned bloodshot.Everything would be in vain if he were to not take revenge for his mother's death.Bryson stumbled backward as he shouted, "Stop him! Hold him back!"The rest of the Redmonts were also similarly terrified.They felt as if they were witnessing Austin turning into a bloodthirsty demon.Fear swept through the entire premise.Even Morgan's face was deathly pale.He had already anticipated the worst today, and he had been trying to lay low so as to not instigate any more problems.But Austin was not going to give him any chances, as he had figuratively readied his sword by their necks.He took a step forward as all of the Redmonts watched.What came next was the sound of Austin's fists landing on the security personnel and blood-curdling screams.None of the security personnel could do anything against Austin no matter how much Bryson screamed for help.A hint of desperat

The living room fell eerily quiet as the Redmonts stared at the group of men leaving the house.Nobody dared to stop them from leaving.Everyone knew that the Redmonts had suffered a defeat today.Their reputation was dragged through the mud, as simple as that.News about what happened today would surely be a shock to everyone within Basin City.Even the guests present felt as if they were hallucinating about what just happened.No one had ever witnessed the Redmonts being humiliated to such a degree.The Redmonts were all embarrassed. They gritted their teeth as they angrily glared at Austin and his friends like vengeful beasts.Bryson's blood-curdling screams continued as Morgan gritted his teeth with bloodshot eyes.His fists were clenched with veins bulging as his entire body subconsciously trembled with anger.Everyone realized just how furious Morgan was about everything that happened. Even Amadeus himself did not dare to make a sound.Suddenly, Morgan stumbled backwar

Morgan took another deep breath, and then a devious smile crept up on his face. "You're right, Amadeus. We should ask Dorothy for her help regarding this matter. We would be making this too easy for her if she doesn't step up to handle a brat of hers causing trouble for us."Amadeus smiled and replied, "I'll contact Mrs. Campbell Senior right away."Morgan gritted his teeth with murderous intent. "You've overestimated yourself, Austin… How dare you ruin my family's reputation? I'll soon show you just how terrifying true power really is! Not even your father could do anything but watch if Dorothy and I work together to kill you!"The room was eerily cold as he muttered to himself.…Austin and his group returned to the city after leaving the Redmont Residence.Vincent was still rather excited. "I can't believe you actually did it, Austin. I thought you were just going to talk with the Redmonts… It really caught me off guard."Austin rubbed his nose and replied, "We've practically

Austin never expected that Nancy would come back.As he returned to the Tetra Club, he remained sullen, his eyes dark with unresolved anger.Seeing Austin like this, Cecily felt a pang of sadness.She gently tried to comfort him, "It's all in the past now, isn't it? 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. Most importantly, he treated her with the utmost respect.She understood Ethan's background, which made that respect all the more valuable.A man of his stature could have any woman he wanted in his bed the same night.Yet Ethan had shown her incredible patience, making her question whether the rumors about him were true.Tonight, returning to this city was her way of bidding farewell to the past and embracing the future.After all, people need to look forward, don't they?Meanwhile, Ethan was feeling more dejected than he'd ever been.Lying in his luxurious bed in Brook Villa, he couldn't sleep, tossing and turning restlessly.He had hoped to establish a connection with Austin.

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. "This is from Mr. Walter!"Austin nodded, his expression serious. "But I've sent several messages back, and there's been no reply. I called twice—once it was immedi
