Chapter 1

By my 20th trip to the police station, the officers weren't even surprised anymore.A female officer led me into her office, poured me a cup of tea, and gave me a helpless look."If you don't pay your mortgage, Mr. Cole, the bank has every right to foreclose on your house. Your mother has depression and bipolar disorder. It's understandable for your father to put her in a psychiatric facility," she said."As for your younger siblings, forming cliques and bullying classmates at such a young age is unacceptable. The school's decision to expel them is entirely justified. If you are dissatisfied, you can lodge a formal complaint with the relevant authorities."I'd heard those things enough times to memorize the words by heart.At first, I used to get angry. Now, I simply felt powerless.…Two months ago, I met Warren Parker for the first time.Warren was the CEO of Avante Technology and my immediate superior.When I was summoned to his office, my colleagues joked around, saying, "

Warren ground his shoe harder against my face. Then, he lit a cigarette and pressed the burning tip into my skin.As I screamed in pain, he said with a smile, "Seems to me you have a bad memory, Mr. Cole."Warren had a younger sister, Catherine Parker, whom he loved dearly.Two months ago, she confessed her feelings to me, but I turned her down. She went home and cried for days.Everything that had happened to my family was part of Warren's revenge plan—the price I paid for making his sister cry.Catherine was a kind and gentle young woman. She was wonderful, but I liked men. Was it wrong for me to reject her?I was so badly beaten that I couldn't even crawl on my feet. When my head was shoved into a flushing toilet bowl, I thought I was going to die.After much difficulty, I finally had the chance to call the police. But when they showed up, every single security camera in the company had "malfunctioned" for exactly one hour. There was no footage of Nelson beating me up under W

"Your siblings are right outside. You won't want any more harm to come to them, right?" Warren asked.That was all it took to snuff out any thought I had of fighting back.I leaned over the desk, my face aimed right at the security camera. When I felt something forcing its way into me, my dignity crumbled, shattering into pieces on the floor.When it was over, Warren tossed a wad of cash at me. "Get dressed and get out. You know what you can and cannot say."I trembled as I put my clothes back on and picked up the money before leaving. I needed the money for food.Seth and Sadie were still outside.When Sadie saw me, she grew quite worried. "Why are you walking like that, Sean? Did you hurt your legs?"Warren had followed me out of his office. Arching a brow, he said pointedly, "Oh? Are you hurt? Your legs seem fine. It's your—"I didn't know what he might end up saying, so I grabbed my siblings and dragged them off in a hurry before he could say something that humiliated me.

Warren stood with one hand in his pocket. He had a faint smile on his face, and it made my skin crawl."Are you planning on taking these files to the police?" Warren asked, his voice unnervingly gentle.My mouth hung open, and my eyes were wide. I was too terrified to make a sound.He didn't wait for a response. He circled to the other side of the desk, grabbed the monitor, and smashed it against my head.I fell to the floor, along with the monitor. Blood gushed from my head and flowed into my eyes. The stinging pain made my tears flow, causing my vision to be covered in red.Warren hauled me up by my hair and slapped my face a couple of times. "I told you to behave. Why don't you listen to me? Must you insist on getting a beating when you could've saved yourself the pain?He threw me back to the floor and signaled to Nelson. "Avoid his head. His brain is still worth something."I clutched my skull with both hands and curled into myself as the blows wracked my body. My entire bo

I tried to take a step forward, but someone yanked me back hard. After turning around, I saw that it was Nelson who grabbed me.Warren stood behind him, shockingly bearing a different expression for once. "Are you trying to kill yourself?""I foolishly offended Ms. Parker. Surely it's enough if I die to atone for my sins, right? Please spare my family, Mr. Parker."Before this day, I'd never imagined I'd one day be so pathetic that I wouldn't even dare to avenge myself—that I'd even sacrifice my life just to beg for forgiveness.But Warren declared, "You can die when I'm bored with you. Your brother's waist isn't as slender as yours, and his legs aren't as long either. He doesn't quite give me the same feeling you do."Just yesterday, he'd assaulted Seth right in front of me.Well, it wouldn't quite be right to call it an assault. It was Seth who took the initiative to seek out Warren and beg him to spare me. Warren's condition for doing so was for Seth to sleep with him.Warren

In three days, the special task force that had been set up to dismantle Warren's criminal organization would finally start wrapping up the operation.Back when I made that attempt to jump off the roof, I truly believed there was no longer any hope to live for. I wanted to die.After seeing how serious I was about ending my life, Nelson had no choice but to reveal his identity as an undercover operative.He told me, "Our country will never give up on its citizens. I am truly sorry that you and your family have suffered so much hardship. However, evil will always be punished. The authorities won't let Warren evade punishment. He will pay for every heinous crime he has ever committed!"Desperate for Warren to get what he deserved as soon as possible, I volunteered to become the police's informant. With their guidance, I was able to procure more evidence of Warren's criminal activities.Once Nelson left, I locked Warren in the dog cage from before. When he woke up and saw where he was

I called Catherine and came up with an excuse to invite her over. Not long after, she arrived, having driven over in a rush.She had a sweet, adorable face and a pleasant personality. She could often be found volunteering her time at orphanages and nursing homes, as well as making donations.They made such an interesting pair, the innocent and perfect younger sister and the vicious older brother with blood on his hands.I opened the door and welcomed Catherine into the place."Where's Warren?" she asked as she looked around curiously.Just as I was about to cover her mouth and tie her up, she struck first. She lunged at me and stabbed a dagger right into my abdomen. Unfortunately for her, the dagger didn't pierce through my body—I'd worn a bulletproof vest on the inside.In that fleeting moment, when she was still caught off guard, I ripped the dagger from her hands and kicked her down. Then, I grabbed the hammer on the side and smashed it heavily against her knees.I'd rehearse
