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

    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.

    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 understood Vincent well.He knew that Vincent was still a reasonable man beneath his cynical appearance.Both Austin and Vincent had visited the Redmonts for revenge, while Iris was simply there to attend the birthday banquet.Iris could not help but feel a little guilty for leaving after she had just barely arrived to show her gratitude.But Vincent was not so stupid as to involve her in his path of vengeance against the Redmonts just because of what happened today.Bringing Iris away had essentially brought her onto their side.What awaited Iris if she were to return to the Redmonts would be unthinkable.Vincent would not have done any of this if he did not have any secrets he had to hide from her.Austin did not try to ask Vincent about the details either, as it wasn't a topic that could be brought up with Iris around.The Rolls-Royce drove through the city and into suburbs, and eventually into a village situated next to a river within a mountainous region.Kyle con

    Austin rubbed his nose and replied, "What happened after? I mean, I'm talking about what you're hiding from Iris."Vincent smiled bitterly as he tilted his head backward to finish his beer. "You have no idea just how cold-blooded the Redmonts are… They're a bunch of scumbags and hypocrites. They would do anything to keep up their appearance and reputation."He gritted his teeth with anger as he turned around, revealing his reddened eyes. "Iris' husband did not leave her because he couldn't handle the pressure… Iris had a successful business, and the two of them lived a peaceful and happy life. The only time they ever visited the Redmont residence was either for the new year's or for some of the seniors' birthdays. How many times do you think they've visited just for all of that?"Vincent frowned as he fell deep into thought.After a while, his eyes gleamed as he realized what Vincent was trying to tell him.Vincent angrily continued, "Those Redmont bastards… They felt embarrassed

    The Redmont Residence would be covered with dark clouds for two days in a row.Everyone inside the house of the richest family in Basin City was still extremely frightened.It almost seemed as if a storm was coming.Every single one of the Redmonts could hear the increasingly violent shouts coming from within Morgan's room.They knew better than anyone else that the birthday banquet had gone terribly wrong.Inside the dark and gloomy room, veins could be seen popping around Morgan's bloodshot eyes. "Why can't we get in contact with Dorothy? Why?"Amadeus was kneeling on the floor. He was so frightened that he felt as if he was about to fall unconscious. "Please calm down, Dad. We need to remain calm, especially during such a crucial time!""Calm down? You're telling me to calm down?" Morgan picked up an antique pot and smashed it onto the ground. "Why don't you tell me what we can do instead of calming down?"Amadeus was so terrified that he could no longer reply.Austin had t

    Amadeus was horrified upon realizing that Morgan was already preparing for the worst. "Dad… Do we really have to?"Morgan raised his eyebrows and glared at Amadeus. "Are you questioning me? Where did you get the gall to question my orders? Both Vincent and Iris would have immediately heeded my orders."It was apparent that he saw Amadeus as lesser than Vincent and Iris.Amadeus' expression sank as he felt humiliated by the comparison.After a while, Morgan explained, "We're not facing off against Austin, but Walter. We need to be fully prepared so that we don't panic and mess up during a crucial time.""I understand," replied Amadeus as he nodded and left.Morgan was left alone inside the gloomy room.The room was weirdly chilly and eerily quiet.After a while, Morgan let out a sigh and muttered to himself. "I can only hope that it does not happen…"As Bryson and the rest of his grandchildren left the Redmont Residence, all Morgan and the remaining Redmont family members could

    Austin was confused as he stared at Skylar.He wondered if he was staring at a man or a woman.Skylar had a thin figure, dewy skin, and even a childish yet handsome face.A neat suit paired with side bangs gave Skylar a very neutral look as well.Perhaps even due to the angle, Austin could not tell whether or not Skylar had an Adam's apple.But he also felt that it would be rude to ask for Skylar's gender.The next moment, a magnetic voice came out of Skylar's mouth. "You've been staring at me, Mr. Campbell."Austin felt rather relieved after realizing that Skylar was unmistakably a man.He was rather speechless while he reckoned that Skylar's alluring appearance and voice must've made him quite the ladies' man.Austin laughed and asked, "Anything I can help you with, Mr. Skylar Reed?""I'd like for us to work together," replied Skylar as he stared straight at Austin. "The Reed family is willing to help you defeat the Redmonts. But in exchange, we'd like to take over the spot

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
