Unmoving like a mountain, attacking like fire!Austin moved with lightning speed.He knew that given his current physical state and situation, he only had one chance to strike. One failure would mean complete disaster!But just as he moved in front of the figure, a familiar face came into view.Austin was shocked.He released the razor floss from his mouth and quickly jerked his right hand to the side.Whoosh!With a sharp whistle, the razor floss retracted into the metal box."Mr. Lockwood?!"Austin exclaimed in disbelief, "I told you to go back!"The sudden scene startled Ezra as well.Taking a deep breath, Ezra suppressed his fear and forced a smile. "How could I leave you, sir?"Austin was taken aback. His nose tingled with emotion, and a warm feeling surged through his heart.Looking past Ezra, he saw a crowd of men in suits.It was the bodyguard team!Every person in sight bore injuries and looked disheveled, their suits now tattered and dirty.A wave of guilt was

Austin gave a melancholic smile, not fully accepting the praise.He couldn't embrace glory built on the sacrifice of lives, it felt shameful to him.Taking a deep breath, Austin looked at Ezra. "How is it at Heavensgate?"Since Ezra had brought all the bodyguards, the hospital situation must have been handled. Now, the focus was on Heavensgate.Compared to the commotion at the hospital, the situation at Heavensgate was much more serious."It's quite tricky, but I've sent people to handle it. The problem should be manageable," Ezra said with a somber expression.His eyes then swept over Austin and caught sight of the assassin's body in the room. His face changed immediately. "Sir, this is...""An assassin. It's taken care of," Austin said calmly. "Clean it up, and also call a doctor to re-dress my wound. Aldus is still in the emergency room.""I understand," Ezra replied, his expression serious.Having Ezra there made things much easier for Austin.Ezra took care of everythi

Boom!Austin felt as if he had been struck by lightning. Seeing the tearful, sorrowful expression on the bodyguard's face made his heart plummet.The room spun, and he felt as if his soul had left his body. Tears welled up in his eyes.Ezra also trembled, his lips quivering and his hands shaking on his knees."So, in the end, it's hopeless?" Austin said sorrowfully, two crystalline tears quietly falling from his eyes.His mind filled with memories of Aldus.From a young age, he had always struggled alone, with no one to help him, except his mother who cared for him.When he finally emerged from the darkness into light, he met Aldus.Although Walter assigned Aldus to protect him, their relationship became one of mentor and friend. It was a bond Austin had rarely experienced.Because he had spent so much time in darkness, he cherished his relationship with Aldus all the more.But now...At that moment, another bodyguard appeared at the door. It was the middle-aged man who had

The lure of money, combined with the heavy losses they suffered, made it almost certain that the escaped Grim Guard Mercenaries would come back for another attempt.These ruthless killers weren't likely to be deterred by last night's battle.When would they strike again? And in what manner?Austin's eyes were deep with thought as he let out a weary sigh."It's getting more and more complicated. From a farmer to a mercenary team, this Shadow Web Syndicate assassination mission is truly bizarre. The only ones who might be laughing now are those idiots from the Emersons."He knew very little about the Shadow Web Syndicate.But he could deduce that a blood-soaked organization hidden in the dark web wouldn't operate openly under the sun.This assassination order was clearly unusual.The most likely explanation was that someone was deliberately orchestrating it. Turning a simple assassination into a bloodthirsty frenzy for violent individualsHis mind was tangled with complex though

"I'm sorry, Mr. Campbell. Your mother has late-stage liver cancer, and …"When Austin Campbell saw the doctor in front of him shaking his head, he felt dizzy, and his eyes reddened at once.Ever since he was a child, all he and his mother had were each other. To raise him and fund his education, she'd worked so hard that her health suffered. Before she even got to enjoy a better life, she had fallen severely ill."Doctor, please save my mother. I'm begging you, please. Is there really no way to save her?" Austin pleaded hoarsely. He was choking up.The doctor hesitated briefly before replying, "There's one last option—a liver transplant. We do have a suitable match here at the hospital …"Pausing, he studied Austin. Having treated Austin's mother for some time now, he was aware of Austin's financial situation.In the end, the doctor decided to continue saying, "But … the surgery won't be cheap. At the very least, it'll cost 200 thousand."200 thousand?Austin's eyes lit up. He

Urma was not done with her tirade yet."Look at you now. Nancy gave us the money because she loves us, but you're shameless enough to ask for it back! Why are you such a leech? Well, Harvey's about to get married. We're giving him the 200 thousand as a down payment on a house for him and his future wife. You won't be getting a single penny from me!"The call was cut off.Austin froze in shock. Did Urma not understand a word he said?"Austin! Have you gone mad?" Nancy grabbed Austin by the collar frenziedly. "How could you do that? Is it so wrong of me to give money to my parents?"Feeling defeated, Austin stared at Nancy with reddened eyes and asked, "Is my mother's life worth less than a down payment for your brother's new house to all of you?""You're full of bullshit!"Nancy released Austin and began to throw everything in the living room she could get her hands on.In mere seconds, the living room was a mess.Sitting on the couch, Nancy whimpered, "Austin, you heartless ma

As the car cruised down the streets, Austin remained in shock. It all seemed like a dream.He and the old man, Ezra Lockwood, went up to the ICU ward at Legacy Hospital.It was not until Austin saw his mother, Dahlia Emerson, that he fully registered what was happening. Dahlia had just come out of the operating theater.Joy, gratitude, and other overwhelming emotions washed over Austin."I'm happy to report that the liver transplant surgery was a success, Mr. Lockwood," a doctor came over and said respectfully.Austin was stunned. The doctor, Isaac Navarro, was Dahlia's attending physician. He was one of Legacy Hospital's most well-known doctors and also an expert in the medical field.Isaac was the one who suggested performing the liver transplant surgery to save Dahlia.It went without saying that such an esteemed doctor would have no qualms treating even the most powerful beings as his equals. Despite that, he was showing such courtesy toward Ezra."Thank you, Dr. Navarro,"

"He has been doing this to protect you and your mother," Ezra said."And now, he finally holds the power in his family. He has always cared about you and your mother. He feels guilty, so that's why he sent me over to visit you and try to make up for everything he owes you over the last 20-odd years.""Make up for everything? How's he going to do that?" Austin snarled through gritted teeth.Tears pooled in his reddened eyes as he declared, "It's been over 20 years. Does he know the life my mom and I have led? Ever since I was a kid, people called me a bastard child. "To raise me, my mom had to work all day and all night. She got sick because of how hard she had to work all these years!"Ezra passed a black debit card with a purple orchid design on it to Austin. "This is a token of your father's sincerity."Austin stared at the debit card he was holding.It was his first time seeing one like that.In an instant, his rage bubbled over.Could over 20 years of neglect be forgiven
