Austin said, "Uncle Alexander found me, and I had him stay for three days. On the third day, Nether showed up. Uncle Alexander helped me drive him away before leaving.""He didn't come directly to the Campbell Residence. He slipped into the Campbell Residence shortly before my attack and happened to encounter Nether's assault, so he intervened."Walter's eyes were deep, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest of his wheelchair. "Did you see the heads on the Campbell Residence arch? That was put there by your Uncle Alexander."Austin was momentarily stunned but quickly grasped the situation."He slipped into the Campbell Residence? What does that mean?"Although Alexander had lost the competition for the family head position to Walter years ago and for some unknown reason ended up in Grave Prison, he was still a Campbell and a former heir at that, with a close relationship to Walter.Logically, he should have entered the Campbell Residence openly, not in secret."How would I know

As soon as Walter spoke, the air seemed to freeze.Austin instinctively looked up at the sun. The sunlight felt cold.As they approached the council hall, the noise became clearer.But with a call of "Mr. Walter is here," the entire hall fell into dead silence.All eyes turned toward Austin and Walter, filled with shock, complexity, worry, and disdain...Feeling the gazes, Austin finally understood the immense complexity of the Campbell family factions.Walter had been leading the Campbells for over 20 years, maneuvering through such a complex web of factions. The effort and dedication it took were unimaginable.He couldn't fathom it because he realized that all his current struggles didn't compare to what Walter had endured within the Campbells.For the first time in his life, Austin looked at Walter's back with newfound respect."What's the matter? Wasn't it quite lively just a moment ago?" Walter sat in his wheelchair, exuding supreme authority.The accumulated authority f

The people present exchanged thoughtful glances, their expressions deep and reflective.Throughout the generations, the family meeting was crucial to controlling the fate of the Campbells, and it had always been convened and presided over by the family head.Dorothy issuing orders in place of the family head was indeed overstepping her bounds.But now, Walter wasn't giving Dorothy any face at all.Today's Walter… was excessively domineering!This was what everyone in the room thought.Some of those who had originally conspired with Dorothy were now wavering.Austin calmly observed everything unfolding before him.Walter was indeed domineering, but given his experience, he knew that if he didn't assert his dominance, there was no way to control the situation.The people in the room were all high-ranking members of the Campbells, each with significant power.In simple terms, they were like a gang leader staking their claim. If the situation were allowed to develop freely, it wo

Austin glanced at Walter, then glared at Elmer.To confront Walter to this extent, Elmer's influence within the Campbells must go beyond Dorothy's support."Who agrees? Who opposes?" Walter asked calmly.The council hall was silent.Everyone wore indifferent expressions. But the silence was deafening, like a series of explosions."It seems everyone agrees?" Walter rubbed his nose and chuckled softly, but his expression grew colder.Before he could speak, Perry shouted, "This is already the lightest punishment for your son.""Good!" Walter laughed instead of getting angry.Then, his eyes turned sharp as he stared directly at Perry."Perry, your lack of virtue and unworthiness is well known among the Campbells. But, your embezzlement, siphoning off tens of billions from the Campbell's financial company, isn't that against family rules?" Walter's words were like a thunderclap.The room erupted in shock.Perry's face turned ashen, looking as red as a beet.His lips quivered, an

Suddenly, Dorothy called out.Austin stopped, and Walter turned to look at Dorothy, smiling. "Aunt Dorothy, have you changed your mind?"Dorothy's face showed disgust, but then she said, "Walter, you are indeed a remarkable head of the Campbells, but as an elder, I must remind you that it's time to determine the strength of the heirs and decide who will be the next family head.""Oh? When do you think would be best, Aunt Dorothy?" Walter asked in return.Everyone was taken aback.But Dorothy was unafraid. "The previous family head established the successor when he was 50. The heads before him generally followed this age as well. I believe you should make the same decision!""50? I'm already 49 this year. Just one more year until 50. Isn't that a bit rushed, Aunt Dorothy?"Dorothy's eyes suddenly reddened, tears welling up as she pleaded, "Are you going to let me die without seeing the next head of the family, without seeing the hope for the Campbells' future? How can I rest in p
