Simon was terrified.Even with his face covered in blood, the deathly pale complexion beneath it couldn't be hidden.In Austin's eyes, Simon saw nothing but a chilling, murderous intent—no emotion, no hesitation. It was like staring into the eyes of a bloodthirsty beast.Not even when facing Ethan had Simon ever felt such fear.His heart pounded in his chest, threatening to burst through his ribs.Finally, Simon managed to force a single word from his throat."Alright…"……Brook Villa nestled in the scenic outskirts of Eastbrook, surrounded by mountains and water, was the most exclusive resort and clubhouse in the area.Only the wealthy or powerful could gain entry, ordinary people could only admire it from afar, never getting close.Tonight, the Brook Villa was especially lively.Inside the villa, the place was brightly lit and decorated for a celebration.A tight patrol of security vehicles highlighted the high level of protection in place.In the main hall, music played

"Let it. He's your brother, after all. There's no need to make a fuss. Let them in." Derrick said generously, waving his hand.Ethan breathed a sigh of relief and quickly instructed the person outside to let them in.When Austin walked into the hall, dragging Simon behind him, the room erupted in gasps of shock.Everyone's faces went pale."Simon!" Ethan's expression turned grim, and the alcohol-fueled haze in his mind cleared a bit."Mr. Brook..." Simon, who had been in fear and confusion, snapped back to reality at the sound of Ethan's voice.He wailed pitifully, "It's him! He wants to see you!""Damn it!" Ethan exploded in fury, disregarding Derrick's presence as he angrily shouted.Everyone else in the room was also livid, glaring at Austin and those behind him, Jacob and Wolf.How dare they beat Simon to this state—were they trying to get themselves killed by Ethan?However, no one noticed that Derrick, who had been standing at the table with a brush in hand, suddenly fr

Derrick's words seemed completely out of place given the tension in the room, leaving everyone stunned."Mr. Brook, why are you still thinking about painting..." Simon groaned in pain."Shut up!" Ethan snapped, his eyes flashing with anger as he cut Simon off.He quickly glanced at Austin, noting that he hadn't reacted, then turned back to Derrick."Mr. Stephens, please go ahead."The crowd was utterly shocked, standing frozen in disbelief.Was Ethan elevating Derrick to such a high pedestal?Someone had barged in, practically slapping him in the face, yet he remained this composed?In their minds, the underground king of Eastbrook was a ruthless figure—someone who would spill blood at the slightest provocation!No one could have guessed that Ethan held Derrick in such high regard.Even Austin was a bit taken aback. Someone who could rise to the level of an underground king was no ordinary person.Beyond his methods, Ethan was undoubtedly proud and hight ambitious.For him

"No, no, this won't do. Such wonderful news—Cecily being pregnant—I must return home and devote myself to creating a special painting for her and the little one," Derrick said as he left.Watching Derrick go, Austin couldn't help but chuckle.No wonder he's a master. He managed to handle everything with such finesse, keeping both dignity and face intact.In doing so, he subtly helped Austin and, in a way, saved Ethan as well.This brief encounter left Ethan and everyone else feeling as though they were in a dream.All eyes turned to the painting in Ethan's hands, including Ethan's own.Ethan had practically begged for a painting, and Derrick, in response, casually sketched a pig.But for Austin, Derrick offered to painstakingly create a masterpiece without even being asked.The difference was like night and day!"Whew..." Ethan rubbed his temples, exhaling a breath laced with the scent of alcohol, before once again breaking into a smile.The atmosphere in the room shifted as

"The underground king of Eastbrook bows down."This news swept through Eastbrook like a storm.Ethan knew that by doing this, he would become the laughingstock of the entire city. But he also knew he had no choice—he had to do it!Even if he became a joke, he would remain the underground king. But if he refused to lower his head, he would end up a dead man.He understood the situation perfectly.In fact, that very night, a message was released from Brook Villa.No one is to compete for the land!This is a clear warning to all real estate companies in Eastbrook. It was also a gesture of goodwill toward Austin.But Austin didn't pay it much mind.If not for Derrick's involvement, he had no idea how Ethan would have responded—but Austin knew his response would have been much tougher.A mere city's underground king? He didn't even compare to the richest man in Basin City or the capital—he wasn't even worthy of carrying their shoes!After leaving Brook Villa, Austin didn't linger

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

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'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?
