"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?

"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!"

Charging against overwhelming odds?Four against over a hundred—what chance do they have?Even Terry's eyes widened in shock, his pupils narrowing with fear.In the next second, Terry's lips curled into a vicious, bloodthirsty smile."Fools," he muttered, taking a step back, a cigar still in his mouth, calm and composed.Almost simultaneously, the hundred or so people behind him surged forward like a tidal wave, rushing toward Austin and his team.The fierce battle erupted instantly, the scene descended into chaos.Austin and his team formed a defensive formation but were quickly engulfed by the crowd.Screams and cries of fear echoed through the hall.Some were terrified by the chaos, and fled the banquet hall, holding their heads in panic.Austin kicked an attacke

Despite his seemingly weak appearance, his hands moved with lightning speed, taking down the two attackers beside Vincent in an instant."Vincent, you’re worse off than an old man like me," Ezra mocked.Vincent spat out a mouthful of blood.

Instead, he quickened his pace.His face was stern, eyes narrowed into slits, radiating a sharp, piercing coldnessAt this moment, Austin's entire demeanor changed.

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.

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?

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.
