Boom!Austin felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Seeing the tearful, sorrowful expression on the bodyguard's face made his heart plummet.The room spun, and he felt as if his soul had left his body. Tears welled up in his eyes.Ezra also trembled, his lips quivering and his hands shaking on his knees."So, in the end, it's hopeless?" Austin said sorrowfully, two crystalline tears quietly falling from his eyes.His mind filled with memories of Aldus.From a young age, he had always struggled alone, with no one to help him, except his mother who cared for him.When he finally emerged from the darkness into light, he met Aldus.Although Walter assigned Aldus to protect him, their relationship became one of mentor and friend. It was a bond Austin had rarely experienced.Because he had spent so much time in darkness, he cherished his relationship with Aldus all the more.But now...At that moment, another bodyguard appeared at the door. It was the middle-aged man who had

The lure of money, combined with the heavy losses they suffered, made it almost certain that the escaped Grim Guard Mercenaries would come back for another attempt.These ruthless killers weren't likely to be deterred by last night's battle.When would they strike again? And in what manner?Austin's eyes were deep with thought as he let out a weary sigh."It's getting more and more complicated. From a farmer to a mercenary team, this Shadow Web Syndicate assassination mission is truly bizarre. The only ones who might be laughing now are those idiots from the Emersons."He knew very little about the Shadow Web Syndicate.But he could deduce that a blood-soaked organization hidden in the dark web wouldn't operate openly under the sun.This assassination order was clearly unusual.The most likely explanation was that someone was deliberately orchestrating it. Turning a simple assassination into a bloodthirsty frenzy for violent individualsHis mind was tangled with complex though

Meanwhile, at Tetra Club.With Ezra's arrangements, the club's security level was elevated to the highest. All security measures were activated.Patrol cars roamed inside and outside the club, maintaining a vigilant guard.The number of staff inside the club was significantly reduced, leaving only enough personnel to meet Austin's needs.The Bamboo Parlor became the focal point of security efforts.When Wolf arrived, he led the bodyguard team in thoroughly sweeping the Bamboo Parlor and then set up a multitude of security devices.External security was managed by Tetra Club's bodyguards.However, inside the Bamboo Parlor, per Ezra's insistence, only their trusted personnel were stationed.With multiple layers of protection, Austin's anxiety finally began to ease.Lying on the bed, he at last felt a heavy drowsiness overtaking him.Throughout all this, Timothy did not make an appearance, but Austin wasn't concerned. The situation was extremely sensitive, and it was better for

Considering the relationship between Vincent and Austin, Ezra decided to ask for more details.But how could they help in this situation?The assassination order from the Shadow Web Syndicate was a challenge even for Walter.The Reed family, despite expanding their influence significantly after the fall of the Redmont family and becoming the wealthiest in Basin City, wasn't at a level where they could help with this situation.Austin smiled. "Have the Reed family send people here to join forces with Jacob and Reginald's teams to investigate the entire city. I want to know about everyone who has recently arrived.""What..." Ezra was taken aback, involuntarily sucking in a breath."Sir, this task is nearly impossible.""It's better than doing nothing."Austin shrugged and continued, "Also, have Vincent collaborate with the Clark family and the Cooper family in the capital to monitor the internet. If any new assassination orders regarding me appear, I want them tracked immediately

A new development?Austin's heart sank. Ezra's reaction made it clear that this wasn't good news.Trying to stay calm, Austin asked, "What's the change?"Panting and terrified, Ezra handed Austin his phone with a trembling hand.Just like before, the message was simple and direct. The dark web content was clearly visible.Austin frowned as he found the Shadow Web Syndicate's assassination order on himself.His brows furrowed even more deeply. The content now included an image of a scythe, similar to the one held by the Grim Reaper."What does this scythe mean?" Austin asked, his brow furrowed.Ezra's eyes flickered with fear."This is the Death Scythe, symbolizing the harvesting of lives. In the Shadow Web Syndicate's assassination orders, if a Death Scythe appears, it means that a top assassin from the Death List has taken an interest. Each scythe represents one top-tier assassin from the Death List."Austin's pupils contracted sharply.He suddenly understood why Ezra, usu

If they only knew that a Death List assassin was watching the mission, it would be like waiting in the dark for the Grim Reaper's scythe to fall."Mr. Campbell just told me this news. He's looking into it," Ezra said."It's not too difficult for him to find out, but it will take some time. We should have results soon."Austin raised an eyebrow. "Why didn't he tell me directly?"Ezra sighed. "Mr. Campbell didn't want to add to your stress, so he had me pass on the message. He thought it would be easier this way."Easier?Austin found it somewhat amusing.To him, it made no difference at all.Taking a deep breath, the fear in Austin's eyes suddenly vanished, replaced by a calm, almost serene demeanor."Let's eat."Ezra was momentarily stunned, his pupils contracting in surprise.Austin's composure was shocking.Ezra prided himself on his steady temperament thanks to years of experience and maturity, but even he had been shaken by the news.Austin was the target of this assas

"I'm sorry, Mr. Campbell. Your mother has late-stage liver cancer, and …"When Austin Campbell saw the doctor in front of him shaking his head, he felt dizzy, and his eyes reddened at once.Ever since he was a child, all he and his mother had were each other. To raise him and fund his education, she'd worked so hard that her health suffered. Before she even got to enjoy a better life, she had fallen severely ill."Doctor, please save my mother. I'm begging you, please. Is there really no way to save her?" Austin pleaded hoarsely. He was choking up.The doctor hesitated briefly before replying, "There's one last option—a liver transplant. We do have a suitable match here at the hospital …"Pausing, he studied Austin. Having treated Austin's mother for some time now, he was aware of Austin's financial situation.In the end, the doctor decided to continue saying, "But … the surgery won't be cheap. At the very least, it'll cost 200 thousand."200 thousand?Austin's eyes lit up. He

Urma was not done with her tirade yet."Look at you now. Nancy gave us the money because she loves us, but you're shameless enough to ask for it back! Why are you such a leech? Well, Harvey's about to get married. We're giving him the 200 thousand as a down payment on a house for him and his future wife. You won't be getting a single penny from me!"The call was cut off.Austin froze in shock. Did Urma not understand a word he said?"Austin! Have you gone mad?" Nancy grabbed Austin by the collar frenziedly. "How could you do that? Is it so wrong of me to give money to my parents?"Feeling defeated, Austin stared at Nancy with reddened eyes and asked, "Is my mother's life worth less than a down payment for your brother's new house to all of you?""You're full of bullshit!"Nancy released Austin and began to throw everything in the living room she could get her hands on.In mere seconds, the living room was a mess.Sitting on the couch, Nancy whimpered, "Austin, you heartless ma
