The group of people including Sean was so frightened that they fell to the ground. They were horrified and cold sweat broke out. They were so close to becoming dead bodies under the wheels of the Hummel!Immediately afterwards, two men stepped down from the Hummel. They were dressed in brocade uniform and wore sabers on their waists. They had serious expressions and emitted intimidating aura.“Damn it, who the hell are you guys? Don’t you know what this place is? You want to die?”Sean took a deep breath and stabilized his emotions. He was furious and roared angrily. How dare these people busted into Haffen Villa and make a commotion? They should have known better!“Are you Sean Austin?” A man said coldly after looking at the photo on his phone.“Who the hell are you?” Sean snapped. At this time, a group of men in black quickly rushed towards them and each with a stun gun, looking overbearing.“Master Sean, what happened?” the leader asked loudly.“Stop the nonsense. Get these t
A young man with twinkling eyes was sitting in the center of the garden—it was none other than Howard. Yoel and the Judge stood on either side of him. After a simple disguise, Howard looked entirely different. He had no intention of letting Mendorra's people know he was back, deciding to settle things after ensuring Talia and Riley's safety.Apart from the three, ten well-dressed men with stern expressions guarded the garden from all directions.Sean, visibly nervous, finally mustered the courage, saying, "W-Who are you? I'm from the Austin family in Mendorra. Touch me, and the Austin family will make sure you regret it!"Howard ignored Sean's outburst and casually swirled the wine in his glass before taking a sip. "Gentlemen, do you recall that night five years ago?"Confused, Sean and the others frowned, attempting to recall the past."W-What do you mean?" Sean asked while the others began to recall."Don't remember?" Howard said, "It's understandable. With all the despicable a
A cold glint flashed, and a saber spun toward Connor's arm at lightning speed.In the next moment, an arm severed from the body dropped straight to the ground, and blood splattered everywhere as Connor let out a gruesome scream, his expression twisted in agony."It's your responsibility to set an example to your children!" Howard glanced at him casually. "Tonight, I'll give you three a chance to personally send your sons to the afterlife and beg for Ms. Ziegler's forgiveness!""Of course, you can choose to forfeit this opportunity. However, the consequence of doing so is that everyone who came here tonight, including the families behind you, will have to die. The choice is yours." After saying this, Howard raised his red wine glass and took a sip. "Damn, who the hell do you think you are? You're so ignorant! I'll end you right now!" A burly man behind Vonn roared angrily and charged at Howard."Ignorant fool!" The Judge by Howard's side swiftly moved his wrist. The cold glint rea
The Judge responded sternly, "His identity is none of your business! If you don't want to die here today, I suggest you accept the chance he's giving you. Otherwise, I wouldn't mind killing you personally."Upon hearing his words, all three men immediately knelt, bowing their heads vigorously toward Howard."P-Please, sir! Spare Sean this time," Vonn pleaded, taking the lead. "I'm willing to compensate Ms. Ziegler. Just name the amount, and I'll transfer the money immediately."The other two family heads nodded quickly, expressing their willingness to pay if it meant saving their sons' lives."Are you wealthy?" Howard took a sip of red wine. "How much are you planning to pay? A hundred billion dollars or a hundred trillion dollars?""I..." Vonn struggled to find words, rendered speechless.Despite being the top-ranked family in Mendorra, the Austin family could only come up with cash up to a hundred billion dollars in a short time. Even if they sold off all their assets, it might
"Investigate the matter!" Terry looked at the Austin family butler standing at the doorway and spoke sternly. "Immediately arrange someone to check whether any remnants of the Ziegler family survived. Report immediately if there's any news!""Got it!" The butler nodded before turning to leave."Terry, the connection between that kid and the Shadow Sect is extraordinary!" Vonn, too, lit a cigar and took a puff. "If he's really a survivor of the Ziegler family, we must be cautious!"Terry snorted coldly. "What does it matter if he has a good relationship with the Shadow Sect? If he's truly a Ziegler family survivor, I'll make sure he dies again, even if he's the head of the Shadow Sect!"After saying this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he continued, "Call Jacob immediately. Tell him something terrible happened to Seane and ask him to return in the next couple of days!""Terry, you already have a plan?" Vonn raised an eyebrow."No matter who the other person is, I'll make su
A few minutes later, with the Land Rover in front and the truck behind, they slowly drove toward the residential area where the Jenkins family lived."Marshal..." Yoel hesitated as the car pulled out."I'm not on the front lines anymore, don't call me Marshal," Howard said."Alright, Howard then. Sounds more friendly!" Yoel smiled."Sure." Howard nodded. "What were you going to say just now?""I got a call from Ciolara this morning," Yoel said with a slightly serious tone."As expected. What did they say?" Howard asked casually."They expressed dissatisfaction with your leaving your post without permission and gave you three days to return to the Western Region," Yoel explained. "Otherwise, they'll revoke your title as the King of the West.""That works out perfectly for me," Howard said, appearing indifferent. "Draft a resignation report for me and say I'm resigning from all positions in the military due to personal reasons."Yoel slammed on the brakes. "Howard, your joke is
"Let them investigate as much as they want," Howard said with a slight frown. "A bunch of people with nothing better to do, engaging in petty actions. That's all they're capable of!""I agree. They're just bored out of their minds, always stirring up some trouble to pass their time!" Yoel nodded in agreement.After chatting for a while, Yoel drove the car into an old community. As they entered, they noticed the word 'demolish' painted on the exterior walls of every building. In the open space within the community, elderly people gathered in groups, discussing something with sighs and worried expressions."Daddy!" As Howard and Yoel parked the car at the entrance of Block Eight, a petite figure ran toward Howard."Riley, did you miss me?" Howard bent down, lifting Riley into the air and spinning her around."Of course, I missed you so much..." Riley's teary eyes moistened Howard's shirt."I missed Riley too!" Howard's eyes welled up with tears.Standing not far away, Talia watche
"Don't you understand? Mr. Caunter has set his eyes on your house, bought it for seventy thousand dollars, and today we're here to complete the formalities," the bald man repeated."Sorry, we're not planning to sell the house," Talia responded coldly."We're not here to negotiate with you today; we're formally notifying you. If you complete the formalities today, you can get seventy thousand dollars. If you wait until after tonight, you might not get a penny!"The bald man chuckled. "By the way, you don't know yet, do you? This community, except for your family, has all agreed to sell. In half a month, everyone will be gone!""This community is about to undergo redevelopment, and you guys are probably from the developers, right?" It was clear that the developers were causing trouble."Young man, step aside. Who are you to speak?" The bald man glanced at Howard and said sternly."How audacious!" The man in a brocade uniform was ready to attack the bald man."Wait!" Howard stopped
