"I'll take you up on your 'offer', Mr. Campbell…" Morgan looked up at Austin with great determination. "...So can I go now?""Let me give you a push!" shouted Austin.Within the brightly lit living room.A flash of cold steel could be seen coming from the blade placed on Morgan's neck.The next second, blood began to spew all across the room in all directions.Amadeus, who had been crying, immediately stopped. All he could do now was stare in disbelief as his own father's blood dropped on his face.The heavy stench of blood entered his nostrils. He did not even dare to look up as he tried to wipe his face with his right hand. And yet, all he could see was still the color red.Amadeus started screaming out in agony as his mind went completely blank.Morgan fell down onto his own pool of blood, and he would no longer move a muscle ever again.Meanwhile, Austin had the blade in his hand, with the tip pointing onto the floor. Blood flowed along the blade all the way to the tip bef

The sun shone upon the earth by the next morning.It revealed the desolate and depressing Redmont residence.Even though it was the dawn of a new day, everyone in the Redmont family could not feel even a tinge of warmth in their bodies.Massive changes had just happened to the Redmont family overnight.Amadeus carried Morgan's corpse back home. It was as if he were delivering an atomic bomb into the Redmont residence itself.Nobody could sleep all night long as there were loud wails echoed throughout the Redmont residence.It was just three days ago when Morgan had celebrated his own birthday.Nobody could have expected him to be reduced to a cold corpse lying in his own coffin just three days later.It was an apocalypse for the Redmonts.Not a single soul within the Redmont family could have expected their powerful family to be met with such a sudden turn of events for the worse.As the Redmonts cried out for their loss, the rest of Basin City was in an uproar.The other po

In the distance was the dawn breaking at the horizon, as if painting the scene red with blood.Austin rubbed his nose and smiled. "I guess it's going to be chaotic in Basin City for some time to come."He had already shown plenty of 'mercy' to the Redmonts. But when news spread about Amadeus carrying the corpse of Morgan back home, the entire Basin City fell into chaos.The other powerful families would have surely made their move regardless if the Redmonts had actually fallen or not.However, as Austin had already reached an agreement with the Reed family in the first place, the chaos happening in Basin City right now would not last for long.Suddenly, a knock came from the door."Come in," replied Austin.Vincent, Aldus, and Iris then entered his room.Vincent greeted him with a smile. "Shit hit the fan, Austin. All of the powerful families within Basin City have already moved out, and the Reed family's essentially leading all of them."Aldus remained as calm and collected a

Amadeus alone represented the Redmonts.He was visibly depressed with his swollen eyes and dejected expression.Behind him was a lawyer who had served the Redmont family for a very long time.As Austin and the group arrived, they proceeded with the paperwork without any additional steps in between.With Kyle's help, all of the agreements were signed without a hitch.As the richest family in Basin City, the Redmont family had countless businesses and pieces of property within their possession.It was a lot of work and effort in just signing the huge pile of documents alone.It would already be late in the morning by the time everything was settled.Amadeus slowly stood up and bowed at Austin dejectedly. "Mr. Campbell, please rest assured of the fact that the Redmonts will not seek revenge or anything of the sort against you."It was part of the deal that Morgan had emphasized on before his death.Even if Amadeus was unwilling to do so, he was not stupid enough to actually defy

Cecily came up with the idea to surprise Austin with a hearty meal after learning that he was on his way home.Raquel wanted to help her out in the kitchen. "Let me help you, Cecily."She felt that it would be too difficult for Cecily to prepare all of the meals alone.And besides, it had always been Raquel who handled the cooking.Housework and cooking up three meals a day were the only things left for Raquel ever since Dahlia had passed away.She felt that she was useless if she could not even contribute to cooking the meals within the house.Cecily was sweating profusely, but she didn't seem the slightest bit affected as she continued cooking in the kitchen. "I'm fine, Raquel! I can do this! Austin must be really tired after everything that happened… so I want to make some delicious food for him. As his wife, I have the responsibility to keep him well-fed!"Raquel was stunned. "Well fed?"Cecily suddenly shuddered in front of the pot as she realized that Raquel seemed to hav

Inside the VIP ward within Legacy Hospital, the silent room contained only the echoes of the hospital instrument in operation.Cecily covered her mouth with her hand as she stared at Ezra currently lying on the hospital bed. Her eyes were red with sadness and disbelief.Alongside her was Raquel, who was also similarly distraught.Ezra was unconscious as he lay on the bed.Scars could be seen littered all across his back, some of which had skin already torn open, revealing flesh that served as the evidence of the torture that he had gone through.Cecily took a deep breath and turned to Samuel. "Dr. Lewis, what happened?"Samuel tried his best to reassure her. "Mr. Lockwood's in stable condition now. His wounds came from being whipped with extreme force. Not even the man that delivered Mr. Lockwood to us knows who did this to him."Cecily almost fainted after hearing about how Ezra had gotten his wounds.She could not imagine just who could be so merciless to be whipping an old m

Austin was in disbelief the moment he laid eyes on the unconscious Ezra lying on the bed.Vincent exclaimed, "Holy hell… When did Ezra get a thing for such hardcore stuff?"Austin glanced at Vincent and shouted, "Shut it!"Cecily lowered her head as she explained, "It was Wolf that sent Mr. Lockwood to the hospital from the hotel… He had already looked for the surveillance footage inside the hotel and saw that a woman had come out from Mr. Lockwood's room before the call for help."Austin was left speechless as he wondered if Ezra had truly gone off the rails.Vincent replied, "Tsk, tsk, tsk… Can't believe Ezra really changed so much in so little time while we're away. His hair may be graying, but his vigor's still as good as ever. Not even I would dabble in such… sophisticated behavior."His comments instantly caused the women in the room to blush.Iris abruptly tugged on Vincent to motion for him to stop talking.Austin rubbed his nose and sneered, "If not even you would try

Both Austin and Wolf were taken by surprise as they looked up at Aldus in confusion before turning to look at where he was staring.A beautiful silhouette of a woman soon caught Austin's eyes.Her tall and slender figure adorned with a plain white dress, alongside a large sun hat blocking off the sun revealed an extremely attractive face.She had gathered a crowd of passersby staring at her from just standing still.A stunning woman like her could always bring attention to herself no matter where she went, as if she was a lamp that lit up the entire room.Austin frowned and said, "She seems familiar."Wolf replied, "Isn't that Fiona Campbell?"Austin finally realized who the woman was. Although he'd never paid much attention to the entertainment industry, he had still heard of Fiona's name.That was because she had turned into an extremely popular and beloved celebrity over the past yearFiona made her debut on live television in a talent show. Her eventual newfound fame skyro

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. A figure like him would be incredibly valuable to have on his side.He tho

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
