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!"

In an instant, Austin and his team charged toward Terry with fierce determination, showing no hesitation.The banquet hall erupted in screams and gasps, deafening the room.Everyone was stunned.Are they crazy? 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

In such a chaotic battle, the quickest solution is to capture the leader.As long as Terry was captured, the fight would end instantly.In a flash, Aldus let out a roar and threw a powerful punch, caving in the chest of an attacker in front of him.Moving as if he were unstoppable, he quickly joined Austin.Meanwhile, Ezra swiftly reached Vincent's side. 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. "Damn it, I was ambushed."On the other side, Austin and Aldus were like two war gods, charging directly at Terry, advancing like rampaging tigers.Aldus was once a top mercenary king who had dominated battlefields and survived ten consecutive victories in Grave Prison, found this skirmish trivial compared to the brutal, blood-soaked wars he had faced.With his prowess, he was purely unstop

Boom!The sound was like thunder, deafening. Everyone looked at Austin in a panic.Is he crazy? Is he betting that Terry won't dare to shoot?"Mr. Campbell!""Sir!""Austin!"Jennie, Ezra, Vincent, and others shouted simultaneously. But Austin ignored them. 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. He became like an unsheathed sword, exuding a dominating and imposing aura.His gaze was locked onto the black muzzle of Terry's gun, his full attention fixed on it.His steps grew faster and faster!Terry's pupils contracted, his heart pounding. Seeing Austin approaching, he suddenly felt a wave of panic.Is this lunatic planning to headbutt the gun?The atmosphere was tense and deadly.Everyone was terrified, with some girls covering their eyes tightly, unable to watch what would happen next.In their eyes, Austin was already a dead man.The image of a

At this moment, Terry was utterly terrified. Apart from his pitiful screams, he had none of the arrogance he displayed earlier.To him, Austin seemed like a terrifying specter, a source of unimaginable dread."You're the one who's utterly foolish!"Austin looked down at him as if he were already dead. "I didn't kill Mr. Emerson Senior. I disdain such sneaky actions. If I wanted someone dead, I'd do it face-to-face! The downfall of the Emersons is entirely your doing!""No, that's not like that! It's not like that at all!"Terry's eyes were bloodshot, he shook his head frantically in denial, his fear mingling with madness. "It's you. It's all you! The Emersons are in this state because of you!"Swish!In an instant, a flash of cold light appeared from Terry's waist.Terry drew a dagger, lunging at Austin like a mad dog, his eyes filled with vicious intent.The crowd gasped once more.Bang!A dull thud echoed. The frenzied Terry suddenly froze in place.The fear and madness o

That night, the capital was sleepless.Amidst the powerful families, an undercurrent of activity surged.Some were shocked, others were thrilled, and some took pleasure in the misfortune.As the Emersons declined, their once mighty empire teetered on the brink, and many had been sharpening their knives in anticipation.However, even a dying camel is still bigger than a horse, and quickly devouring their assets wasn't possible—plans had to be made carefully and slowly.Now, with the sudden fall of the new head, Terry, the powerful families saw an opportunity.A chance to swiftly consume the remains of the Emersons—a heaven-sent opportunity!The entire capital seemed as wild and turbulent as the thunderstorm that had just passed, filled with frenzy and agitation.Austin paid no mind to any of this. After leaving the hotel, he returned to his residence.He despised the Emersons, but it was merely hatred.Initially, he could control his anger.But after Itijah's death and Terry'

Austin smiled as he spoke.Ezra said, "You don't need to worry so much, sir. Everything will be fine.""Taking care of your wife is always the right thing to do." Austin rubbed his nose.Ezra and Aldus both laughed.After a moment, Aldus hesitated, then asked, "Sir, what were you thinking about when you dodged that bullet?""I didn't want to wait for death. I fought until my last breath, so I could die without regrets," Austin replied.Was it really just desperation?Aldus was deeply shocked. People can indeed tap into their potential in extreme situations. But potential varies from person to person.To achieve something as extreme as dodging a bullet, how terrifyingly vast must Austin's potential be?The plane landed at the suburban airport.Austin first went to Dominion Properties to take care of some business.Dominion Properties had recently completed the West City Slum Redevelopment Project, bringing the company's scale up to the level of Jacob and Reginald's real estat

"Mr. Sanders, you're a pro at acquiring land. Do you really need my help with this?" Austin asked, puzzled.Jacob had dominated the business world for decades. Even in the competitive real estate industry of Isonburg, he held his own against Reginald, a property specialist, often leaving him struggling to keep up.A big shot like Jacob struggling to acquire a piece of land?Jacob rubbed his hands awkwardly. "Honestly, if it were here in Isonburg, I could get it easily. But that land is in Eastbrook, which complicates things for me."Austin didn't seem concerned. He waved his hand dismissively. "Just go straight to Dominion and talk to Matt and Wolf. They'll take care of it.""Thank you, Mr. Campbell!" Jacob said, visibly relieved."If we secure that land, I'll ensure you're well compensated. And if you're interested, we could even partner up on the development!""Alright, off you go then. I need to get back to my wife," Austin replied, waving him off as he headed towards Bamboo

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.

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
