The night was cool and tranquil.Ezra and Aldus finally returned to Tetra Club.Austin, careful not to wake the sleeping Cecily, quietly motioned for Ezra and Aldus to follow him to the courtyard.From the start, Ezra and Aldus wore expressions of deep concern, their faces heavy with worry."Tell me what happened," Austin said calmly after they sat down.Ezra and Aldus exchanged a glance before Ezra began to recount the events. The more Austin listened, the deeper his frown became.There were no dramatic twists, no bloody battles.To be precise, when Ezra and Aldus arrived at the Campbell residence with the bodyguard team, the assassination attempt was already over.The assassin had been killed by the Campbell bodyguard on the spot, but Walter was nowhere to be found.It was an ordinary assassination attempt, seemingly uneventful.Yet, in this seemingly ordinary attack, Walter had disappeared from within the Campbell residence.After hearing the account, Austin let out a hea

Austin smiled slightly. He actually quite liked Jennie's personality and work style.When the Clark family and the Coopers initially approached him, he had sided with Jennie."Thanks to you all, I haven't even had the chance to thank you properly," Austin said."It was a small matter, not worth mentioning," Jennie replied calmly, her usual ice-cold demeanor intact."However, there is something that requires your attention, Mr. Campbell.""Sure," Austin didn't hesitate.If Jennie was reaching out for help, it was likely something to do with their business collaboration.Otherwise, with the Coopers' capabilities, they wouldn't need to ask for his help on ordinary matters."There's a small-scale film industry conference in the capital three days from now. Both the Coopers and the Clark family hope you can attend."Jennie paused and added, "Of course, firstly because of our partnership, and secondly…the Emersons will be there."Austin realized, “You're inviting enemies over to re

After checking into the hotel, Vincent made an excuse to go out.Austin didn't mind and just smiled in response.Vincent's intentions were already quite obvious. Although Vincent always said one thing and did another, there was no need to call him out on it.After unpacking, Ezra and Aldus arrived.Upon learning that Vincent had left, Ezra smirked, "Vincent talks a big game, but his actions always betray him."Austin and Aldus both gave Ezra a sidelong glance."Mr. Lockwood, what are you implying?" Aldus asked suspiciously.Ezra realized his slip, blushed and coughed a couple of times before quickly changing the subject. "Sir, what are your plans for tonight's film industry conference?"Austin smiled ambiguously.He slowly replied, "Whether it's thunder or rain, it's all a blessing from above. Let's see what the Emersons choose.""The Emersons lost 10 billion dollars in bounty money to the Shadow Web Syndicate because of the assassination order. Without the cash flow, the alr

"That will be the moment we avenge Dad!"Scott's expression was conflicted.After a moment of hesitation, he gritted his teeth and said, "But doing this won't lead the Emersons to a peaceful end. Instead, it will drag us straight to hell. Our grudge against Austin for killing our dad is irreconcilable, but if we strike at the conference, the Emersons will be doomed forever."Taking a personal vendetta public would have unimaginable consequences.Bang!Terry kicked over a nearby chair and roared with murderous intent, "No one can stop me! Tonight, I will make sure Austin dies on the spot and joins Dad in the afterlife!"Boom!Behind him, thunder and lightning violently tore through the sky. The thunderstorm added an invisible layer of menace to Terry's presence.Scott trembled in fear.After a moment of hesitation, he reluctantly agreed and turned to leave.Terry turned back to the window, his eyes bloodshot, teeth clenched. "Even if I die, I'll take Austin with me. Dad, you b

A spacious banquet hall.Crystal chandeliers dazzled with light.A large projection screen played a movie.Men in suits and women in elegant dresses moved around, holding champagne glasses and frequently toasting each other.Every person from the upper class looked glamorous. Even their gestures exuded sophistication and elegance.Jennie, in a black evening gown, held a champagne glass and smiled as she engaged in lively conversation with the other guests around her.Such a scene was effortlessly manageable for someone of her capability.In a quieter corner of the banquet hall, it was relatively more secluded.Vincent sat on a chair, devouring a steak.Next to him, Yannis, dressed in a white gown and lightly made-up, looking ethereal. There was no denying that her looks and figure were exceptional, surpassing even Jennie's.However, at this moment, Yannis frowned slightly, looking at Vincent helplessly."Can you come out with me? There are so many people here."Vincent shoo

The people here represented the upper echelon of the capital's entertainment industry, yet they still fell short of the true elite.While the Clark and Cooper families were oligarchs in the entertainment world, their influence was moderate compared to the truly powerful familiesAustin's name, however, resonated with the true titans of the capital.It made sense that the people here hadn't heard of him."Austin!" Vincent greeted Austin with a smile.Yannis, who was walking over with Jennie, bit her lip in frustration upon seeing this. This jerk didn't want to come out earlier, but now he's all friendly with another man?Was she less appealing than a guy?"Mr. Campbell, your presence truly graces us," Jennie said with a polite smile, her words flattering Austin without being obsequious.Yannis bypassed Austin and went straight to Vincent, discreetly pinching his waist in annoyance.Austin ignored this scene entirely.Smiling at Jennie, he said, "Why the formality? You asked me

"Terry Emerson is here!"A sudden exclamation broke the lively atmosphere.The crowd immediately turned their attention to the entrance of the banquet hall."What's he doing here? This is an industry-exclusive event, and the Emersons aren't in the entertainment business.""It's rare. The Emersons were the capital's wealthiest family, but now they're trying to mingle in our circle.""Come on... That's old news. The Emersons aren't the richest anymore"……The murmurs included surprise, but mostly mockery and ridicule.The Emersons were once the wealthiest family in the capital, standing at the pinnacle of high society. Even the prominent figures from the Clark family and the Coopers had to look up to the Emersons.But now, with the changing tides of the capital, the Emersons' decline was no secret.Everyone loves to kick someone when they're down.Although those present might not be in a position to challenge the Emersons directly, they had no qualms about mocking them.Austi

To everyone else, Terry's declaration was like a bolt from the blue.With his roar, the sound of rapid footsteps echoed from the corridor outside the banquet hall.Inside, the crowd slowly parted to either side, leaving Austin and his group in the center.Austin's expression remained calm, showing no sign of surprise or anger.He looked at Jennie with a cold gaze. "You invited me here to maintain order, but did you expect it to escalate this much?"Jennie trembled, her face filled with shock.Hearing the footsteps outside, she became even more panicked."No, it's not like that, Mr. Campbell, I..." Jennie hurried to explain.She had planned everything carefully, choosing the Clark family's hotel for the event specifically to anticipate Terry causing a scene.She had intended to have Austin present to keep Terry in check. She never expected things to escalate to this extent!"We're in trouble!"Yannis's face turned pale. "All the security personnel are already on duty today!"
