The fury in Itijah's voice showed just how much he looked down on Terry and his brothers. "Thanks to Austin's strength of character and his abilities, he was favored by the former head of our family," Itijah said. "Even if he doesn't see himself as a part of our family, with his power and support from the Campbell family, he could ensure that our family remains the richest in the capital." He continued, "With him on our side, no one in the capital regardless of their wealth and status, would have the courage to mess with our family. He's the only person who can protect us and shield us from harm!" Itijah raised his voice when he spoke. He was practically yelling when he said the last sentence. Due to how emotional he got, his body started trembling again. At this point, even his face had turned beet red. All of a sudden, he spat blood. The crimson liquid that spurted from his mouth splattered onto the ground and also on Terry's face. Terry's heart leaped into his throat, an

After half an hour, Austin and Vincent met up at the cafe downstairs. "Do you want to hear the good news first or the bad news?" Vincent grinned after taking a sip from his cup of coffee. "The bad news first," said Austin calmly. Vincent lifted an eyebrow. "Okay. I thought you'd wish to hear the good news first." "Hearing the bad news first makes the good news better. If I get the good before the bad, I'll be disappointed afterward," said Austin jokingly with a smile. "Okay then." Vincent rubbed his hands together, picked up his cup, and took another sip of coffee. Vincent must've been in a hurry to get here because there was a sheen of sweat coating his forehead. He must've rushed here after getting off the plane. After taking another sip of coffee, he put his cup down and smiled. "The bad news is that Fiona didn't actually leave the entertainment industry," he revealed. "After going home, she got support from her family and started an entertainment company of her own

Vincent's comment did not cheer up Austin at all.On the contrary, Austin's face became much gloomier than before. He seemed to have cleared up the doubts in his mind as he muttered, "I see. I knew that the Emersons never had good intentions to begin with.""What do you mean?" asked Vincent."Mr. Emerson Senior and his son, Mr. Terry, are already in the city, and I just met both of them. Mr. Emerson Senior even said that he'd like me to bring my mother's grave to join the Emerson family's cemetery as compensation for all 20 years of her wrongful treatment by the family."Austin shrugged his shoulders and continued, "Just who the hell do they think they are? They really think that moving her grave next to theirs is enough to repay their debts after 20 whole years of mistreatment?"Vincent's eyes widened in shock as he realized the implications. "The fuck? How is that even compensation? They're clearly just trying to fool themselves into thinking they've done the right thing so th

Terry did not understand the severity of the situation.And neither did the rest of the Emersons.They'd all gotten used to living the high life and being arrogant and conceited. They all assumed that even when the pillar that was the Emerson family collapsed, they would still be able to stand above everyone else just from the rubble alone.But Itijah knew better than anyone else that the Emersons were in danger from the forces lurking in the shadows. Everything may have seemed fine on the surface, but there was already a group of wolves hiding in the shadows, sharpening their claws and waiting only for the opportunity to strike.The entire city was closely watching and waiting for the Emersons to reach their end.They would swarm up against the Emersons the moment a weakness was revealed. Once everything was over, the Emersons would be nothing less than a de-feathered chicken. However immense their wealth may be, it would still not be enough to tide them over such a crisis.No

For the past 3 years, It was all Cecily had been waiting for. It was all she had ever wanted.To hold Austin's hand, be by his side, and grow old together.Austin pulled Cecily around to head back to the house. "Let's go home."As they arrived at the door, they were met with Aldus running out of the house in a hurry. "Sir, bad news," said Aldus."What's wrong?" asked Austin."Security just informed us that there's a luxury car blocking Heavensgate Residence's entrance and was asking for you by name. They've made it clear that they will not move until you show up."Austin grinned and replied, "What's up with Jacob's security team… Have they really become so easily intimidated by just anyone?"He still remembered how the security team stopped Harvey from barging through Heavensgate Residence with his Audi A4 by ramming his car head-on with their own.On the other hand, Austin realized that the current guest must be leagues above Harvey if the security guards were hesitant to dr

Austin's unforgiving reply caused the kneeling Itijah to tremble all over.He lifted his head and stared at the leaving Austin and wailed, "Austin, can't you spare your own family some sympathy? I'm the father of your mother, you know? I'm your grandpa! Please, you're the only one who can save the Emersons!""Shut up!" shouted Austin as he turned back around. "Family, my ass! You haven't been considered my mother's family for 20 long years! Have you forgotten about everything you've done to her? Everything that you've done to your own daughter?"I don't care about you being family! I've already cared enough by not killing you with my own hands!"Get the fuck back to Kandor and leave me alone! Bother me again, and I will actually kill you myself!"Austin turned around and left with big strides.When Walter returned to the Campbells, he had left Dahlia with a huge amount of money. With Dahlia's ability, even if she were not to build an enterprise with the funds, she would still be

Terry's mind was in a frenzy as he laid eyes upon Itijah. His expression became distorted with all sorts of emotions in an instant.A tragic shout would echo across the entire hotel room. "Dad!"Itijah had already slipped off the couch, his eyes wide open.A sharp dagger was stuck in his heart. Blood spurted out along the hilt of the dagger like a fountain.The entire floor and everything around Itijah was painted deep red.The bloody scene almost caused Terry to faint over.His remaining rationale pushed him to stand up immediately.Terry's furious face turned toward the hotel room as he scanned every corner of the room.He was certain that he was woken up by a foreign sound, and given the short amount of time, he reckoned that the murderer was still in the room.Suddenly, Terry shouted, "Stand right there!"He noticed a silhouette passing through the half-open hotel room door.Terry left the room and chased after the killer. He did not feel even the slightest hint of fear

Knocks on the bedroom door would wake both Austin and Cecily up before the sun even rose.They opened the door to find Ezra and Aldus.Ezra was visibly terrified as he explained, "Sir, bad news! Mr. Emerson Senior has died!"Austin was shocked for a moment, and then he sneered, "Okay? So what if he has died? Let me and Cecily sleep in a little longer.""He was assassinated!"Ezra's words immediately stopped Austin from closing the door.With a shaky voice, Ezra continued, "Please come with us, sir… This matter is… Extremely complicated."Austin hesitated for a while. He smiled at Cecily to tell her to go back to sleep before leaving the room and heading downstairs with Ezra and Aldus.He couldn't care less about how Itijah had died.But he was rather intrigued by Ezra's reaction about the matter.Austin was rather perplexed by the fact that the usually calm and collected Ezra was stuttering with his words.As he headed into the living room, he found Vincent, still in his paj

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
