When Aldus and Raquel heard the familiar voice, their eyes lit up.The hook-nosed man and the dozen men turned around in shock at the same time, looking in the direction of the voice.In his suit, Austin slowly walked toward them from afar.His expression was cold, and his gaze was stern.He walked right past the crowd as his gaze fell upon Aldus and Raquel, who were lying awkwardly on the pile of sand.Fury gradually welled within him."M-Mr. Campbell…"The hook-nosed man rubbed his palms together as he put on a pleasing smile.He walked toward Austin, saying, "I'm the vice manager of this construction site. My name is Magnus Pearson, and I'm Reginald Pearson's cousin—""Hah!"Austin sneered in disdain. He breezed right past Magnus, ignoring the dozens of men as he walked up to Aldus and Raquel.After crouching down, he didn't ask them what exactly happened.Instead, he looked exasperatedly at Aldus, who was covered in blood and injuries.He complained, "Look at you. You'
Magnus and the others felt their throats tightening up when they heard Austin's cold voice.How could a lone man be brave enough to provoke a dozen men?He must be joking!"Fighters in suits, huh? Alright, since you don't plan on playing nice, I'm going hard on you too!"Magnus' expression was ferocious. Gritting his teeth, he waved his hand. "Beat him up! I'll take responsibility for the consequences!"In that instant, the dozen men dashed up to Austin with the shovels in their hands.Meanwhile, Magnus retreated to the back of the crowd.Austin sneered. There was a cold gleam in his eyes as he rushed toward Magnus, who was backing away.He wasn't someone who was easily bullied. He had tolerated the Welches for three years because he loved Nancy.But out there, if he was still a man prone to getting bullied, he wouldn't have become the vice president of Dominion in a mere three years.Thanks to the spartan training he had a while back, Austin's physique was far superior to th
"Mr. Campbell…"Raquel went pale in the face.She had never seen this side of Austin, but she felt fearful.Those were a dozen merciless men who were also armed. Even if she was in her prime before she retired from the military, she wouldn't dare to tackle that situation!"He'll be fine. Now go."A deep voice sounded in Raquel's ears.Before Raquel came to her senses, she felt a large hand taking her left hand."Aldus…"Raquel gazed at Aldus, stunned. She was in a daze as she followed Aldus outside.The two weren't too fast, and they followed Austin closely.Some people tried to go around Austin to attack Raquel and Aldus, but Austin blocked all of them and defeated them without exception!The fierce fight soon caught the attention of the workers at the construction site, and they gathered around to watch.When the workers saw Austin sweep through a dozen men alone, they were so shocked that their jaws dropped.Was this something a human being could do?Magnus got his pos
At Legacy Hospital, Aldus was sent to the emergency room.The doctor had also dressed Austin's and Raquel's wounds.Then, Austin and Raquel sat outside the emergency room.Raquel was extremely worried, and her expression betrayed her feelings.Meanwhile, Austin closed his eyes as he sat there, his left hand gently fiddling with the gauze wrapped around his right fingers.After a half-hour wait, Aldus was finally brought out.Raquel was relieved when she saw that, and she let out a long sigh.Austin also stopped fiddling with the gauze as he opened his eyes.After settling Aldus in the ward, Austin left some instructions before turning around and leaving.Throughout the process, he never once asked about the details at the construction site."I'm fine. Please tell sir everything." Smiling, Aldus comforted the startled Raquel.He knew that Raquel was worried that Austin might fire her because of what happened that day.With Raquel's current situation, she couldn't afford to l
Rubbing his nose, Austin busied himself with work.Since Reginald had asked to meet him, of course, he would be there. His suit was ruined because of the fight, so he had to ask Reginald to compensate for it.As for the other aspects, he wasn't worried about them.Even though Dominion was at the height of its power right now, there was indeed a slight gap between Dominion and Regal Properties.However, it was only a matter of time before Dominion surpassed Regal.If Austin was truly worried about it, he wouldn't have taken action right away at the construction site of Horizon Haven.As for the scheme tonight, Austin had already made preparations to deal with Reginald's tactics.If someone dared to mess with his people, he would destroy them no matter who they were!Not long after that, Jacob's call came in.Austin smiled as he answered the call."Do you need help, Austin?"As soon as the call went through, Jacob skipped the formalities and went straight to the point."You h
Night had fallen, and the city lights were turning on.By the time Austin hurried to Collis Hotel, the parking lot was already filled with luxury cars.With guidance from the waiter, Austin arrived at Vista Room.Two young and burly men in suits and sunglasses stood watch at the entrance of Vista Room.When they saw Austin, they immediately turned around and opened the door to the room.Piano music reached Austin's ears.Rubbing his nose, Austin smiled and said, "The Black Mass Sonata?"The spacious Vista Room felt like another world, for there was a flowing fountain amid rockery. Mist permeated the room.There was even the faint scent of sandalwood in the air.The atmosphere was elegant and exotic.In front of the large table, a bald middle-aged man in a suit and sunglasses was calmly sitting on the main seat.Two young men in the same outfits were standing behind him.Austin looked at the bald middle-aged man. Then, he suddenly laughed. "Mr. Pearson, don't you think that
Reginald only managed to come this far because of his cruel and merciless methods.He had used countless shady tactics in all those years of his constant fights with Jacob.At least to Reginald, Jacob was the only person who could compete with him in the real estate industry of this city!But this time, Austin had popped out from nowhere and caused such a ruckus at his construction site.This was a direct confrontation!Even Jacob wouldn't dare to do that!Austin suddenly raised his right hand, stopping Reginald."Mr. Pearson, I'm sorry for breaking your cousin's leg, but the blood from him and your subordinates soiled my suit. Shouldn't you compensate me for that first?"His voice was calm as if he truly cared about that suit.Reginald was a little stunned.Austin was being too arrogant!After a short pause, Reginald suddenly laughed.Then, he lifted his hands and clapped thrice.In an instant, the young men standing behind Reginald and at the entrance gathered around Aus
"I-I'll pay… Stop. Just stop it…"Reginald was trembling all over, and he was drenched in sweat as he roared in pain.He was seriously scared now.He was terrified at Austin's cruelty and decisiveness.He had no doubts that if he kept being stubborn, Austin might do something even more outrageous.Austin was crazy!"This wouldn't have happened if you had compensated me sooner." Austin sneered.Then, he removed the knife from Reginald's thigh.Reginald screamed in distress, and his pained cries were heard. "W-Why the hell did you take it out?""Well, I'll just put it back in."Reginald's body turned stiff as he stared dumbfoundedly at the small knife, which had returned to its previous place in his thigh.The fighters were all stunned at the sight.This was inhumane!Austin calmly wiped his bloody hands on Reginald's suit.Then, he said calmly, "Mr. Pearson, I'm not here just to get compensation for my suit. I also have something else to tell you. Raquel is under me, so ke
