Justin embraced Katherine like a princess because it seemed she had no strength left to continue walking.
Katherine, allowing Justin to hold her, leaned her head on his shoulder with a gentle sigh. They descended together.
In the lobby on the lower floor, the mangled body of the wealthy man Justin had pushed from the upper floor lay there, covered in blood and shattered.
His current appearance was extremely gruesome, lying in a pool of blood, his body distorted with wounds everywhere.
Adam’s face was pale, his eyes still wide open.
Adam’s corpse stirred up a commotion among the onlookers. The crowd around his body grew larger.
Some expressed curiosity, others fear, and some took out their phones to take pictures, record videos, or livestream.
“Is that Adam, the sole heir of the Walt family?”
Whispers began as people recognized the identity of the corpse.
Though his current appearance seemed terrifying, it hadn’t reached the point of complete disfigurement.
Some approached to get a closer look, staring into the wide-open, lifeless eyes.
“Yes, it’s him.”
“The untouchable guy, right? Who would have thought he’d end up like this?”
“Indeed, he wielded so much power, with the Walt family backing him up. His father was famous for covering up for him. I wonder how many people he oppressed in this city.”
“I thought even God couldn’t punish him.”
“That’s right. Well-deserved.”
“...”
As the crowd murmured and some even applauded, the loud noise of a car engine suddenly drew the attention.
A Range Rover SVAutobiography appeared, elegantly parking in front of the hotel.
Three men in black suits, with stern faces and swift movements, stepped out.
Subsequently, the fourth door opened, a path was cleared, and a middle-aged man descended.
He was dignified, exuding an air of upper-class charisma. Everyone quickly realized that he was Carlisle Walt, the chairman of the Walt conglomerate, and also the father who always shielded Adam, a sky-high figure.
The crowd immediately fell silent, and those who were applauding revealed fear.
On the other hand, Carlisle Walt, along with his bodyguards, quickly approached the corpse. Seeing his son in that state, he couldn’t help but let out a cry.
“Adam!”
“My son, how could you end up like this!”
The city’s information network was indeed dense, or more precisely, the Walt family’s information network was sharp.
But in the end, he arrived a step too late, unable to save his son.
Trembling, Carlisle Walt couldn’t believe the truth.
He wanted to touch his son but hesitated, as if afraid of causing further harm to any part of Adam’s body, though the current state of Adam’s corpse already had no intact parts.
“My son... my beloved son...”
It’s a rare sight to see a powerful man like Mr. Carlisle Walt shedding tears.
But at this moment, besides curious glances, no one dared to take photos or videos, as they knew the consequences would be severe.
The radar-like gazes of the bodyguards scanned the surroundings, ready to detect any suspicious movements.
Everyone was well aware of Mr. Carlisle Walt’s ruthlessness.
“Who handles this? I will crush them like potato peels. Adam, rest assured, I will avenge you.”
Mr. Carlisle Walt roared, causing others to worry about the “hero” who had just punished the villain.
“Call Steven, hurry, call Steven.”
Mr. Carlisle Walt commanded his subordinates. One bodyguard immediately dialed Steven’s number and handed the phone to him.
“Yes, Chairman.”
Mr. Carlisle Walt listened to the phone with a furious and resentful mood. When he heard Steven’s voice, he exploded in anger:
“Steven, what have you done? Why didn’t you protect the young master? Who handles what happened to Adam!”
Mr. Carlisle Walt’s tone seemed as if he wanted to devour Steven alive. Steven cried bitterly.
At this moment, Mr. Carlisle Walt’s eyes froze when he saw Steven rushing out of the hotel with a bleeding nose and battered appearance.
“Chairman!”
He rushed to Mr. Carlisle Walt, falling to his knees.
His current state was also extremely pitiful, with almost no intact parts of his clothing.
“Chairman... huhuhuhu.” Steven realized that his life was in danger this time.
“Dreadful!”
Mr. Carlisle Walt grabbed Steven by the collar and pulled him up, his eyes flashing with anger.
“Why did I raise you? I raised you to protect my son. How dare you live when my son is lying here?! Speak! Who handles this!”
Steven trembled, his teeth clashing together so hard that he couldn’t utter a word.
“That... it’s a man. They... they are still inside the hotel, they are still inside the hotel, they are still inside the hotel.”
Steven didn’t know how to reveal Justin’s identity. Because Adam had made enemies with many people, and Steven himself didn’t know who this person was.
But suddenly, thinking of something crucial, Steven repeated it three times smoothly.
After hearing this, Mr. Carlisle Walt didn’t hesitate to throw Steven to the ground. Then, he ordered his subordinates:
“Quickly, surround the hotel. Don’t let anyone escape, not even an ant.”
“Yes.”
At that moment, Steven’s gaze suddenly shifted towards the hotel, and he saw Justin carrying Katherine, with Julie by his side, coming out.
Steven’s eyes widened, especially when he saw Caesar and the bodyguards behind.
The horror seemed to make Steven want to wet his pants. He pointed his trembling finger at Justin and said:
“That... that’s him. That’s the one who killed the young master!”
Hearing Steven’s words, Mr. Carlisle Walt followed the pointing finger and looked directly at Justin’s face.
The rage and fury made Mr. Carlisle Walt want to kill Justin immediately.
The murderer of his son was right in front of him, wearing a calm expression, causing Mr. Carlisle Walt to have no thoughts other than revenge.
However, at this moment, he cast his eyes over the surrounding crowd.
Mr. Carlisle Walt still maintained composure in front of the public; if he directly killed Justin here, it wouldn’t be wise.
He knew that.
What he wanted more than anything was not just the death of the one who killed his son, but to capture Justin and his loved ones, then torture them slowly, letting them experience a living hell.
Mr. Carlisle Walt tilted his head, raised his chin, and ordered his bodyguards to surround Justin.
Justin, at this moment, suddenly found his path blocked. His expression immediately froze, and he frowned, looking towards Adam’s corpse.
But what he was searching for was the owner of these people.
Justin quickly recognized the man as Adam’s father because his face resembled the deceased to a great extent.
Justin nodded, knowing that trouble was imminent.
Mr. Carlisle Walt also approached Justin at this time.
“Hello, young man, with courage. Do you plan to leave just like this?”
Mr. Carlisle Walt laughed coldly, a smile with a touch of coldness and malice from hell.
“And you, are you here to claim your son’s body? It’s best to leave quickly; the longer you stay, the harder it will be to watch.”
Seeing Justin still composed and even making sarcastic remarks, Mr. Carlisle Walt seemed to go mad, gritting his teeth.
“You wretched fellow, do you know whom you’ve messed with? Even if God himself descends, he won’t be able to save you. You killed my son, and I will make you pay with your blood!”
Justin looked calmly into Mr. Carlisle Walt’s eyes without a hint of fear.
Meanwhile, Katherine, with her hand placed on Justin’s chest, clenched tightly, full of fear and concern.
Although she couldn’t see anything through the conversation, she guessed Justin had killed Adam, and the person blocking their way was Adam’s father.
“Now, be smart and follow me. If you don’t want to cause a commotion here, and I will publicly disgrace you!”
Mr. Carlisle Walt laughed, a smile full of murderous intent. Meanwhile, Justin raised an eyebrow, signaling his readiness to fight, looking towards Caesar.
At that moment, the sound of police sirens suddenly echoed.
Well, Justin thought, given the commotion and events happening here, involving the police was not surprising.
Three or four police cars stopped in front of them, and a tall man with blond hair, leading the group, got out.
“Durango, you came just in time.”
Seeing the police officer, Mr. Carlisle Walt immediately put on a “welcome” expression.
“Chairman, I heard that something terrible has happened to you.”
“Yes, that’s right.” Mr. Carlisle Walt burst into tears, his tone full of grief.
“Police Chief Durango, you must seek justice for my son. He was brutally and unjustly killed by that wretched person. While he did nothing wrong. He died unfairly. You know, my son, Adam, is an obedient child.”
“Alright, alright, I understand. Chairman, please bear the pain.”
At this moment, Mr. Carlisle Walt glanced sideways, and a sinister and cruel look flashed through his red, cold eyes. He leaned in and whispered to Durango:
“If you make me satisfied, I’ll promote your son to be my vice president.”
After speaking, he acted as if nothing had happened and continued to cry.
Police Chief Durango, upon hearing this, immediately gave a signal, then waved his hand to his subordinates:
“Quickly arrest the suspect for me!”
A group of police officers surrounded Justin, pointing their guns at him and the others.
“If you are sensible, put your hands together to be tied; the punishment will be lenient. But if you resist, you know the consequences!”
Callis addressed Justin.
Facing the pointed guns, Caesar felt a sense of contempt but moved forward to stand in front of his leader, ready to fight. However, Justin pulled Caesar back.
“Put your guns down, Caesar.”
Caesar was surprised.
“My lord.”
“It’s just a small matter. More importantly, I don’t want the Dawn Council to become a terrorist organization in our homeland.”
Justin whispered to Caesar. Understanding, Caesar stepped back.
Justin looked at Callis, and the other police officers, finding it amusing. But at this moment, he gently released Catherine’s hand.
This action signaled to her and everyone else what he was about to do.
“Justin...” Catherine didn’t want him to leave.
“Don’t worry; I’ll be back soon.”
“Really? You’ll come back soon, won’t you, Daddy?”
Julie, in her innocent belief in his words, grabbed his shirt and asked with sparkling, wide eyes.
“That’s right.” He ruffled her hair.
However, Catherine was not as optimistic.
She felt anxious and guilty, especially since Justin had killed Adam to save her. His presence in this situation was because of her.
“Justin, I’m sorry...”
Catherine trembled.
He knew what she was contemplating at this moment.
He cupped her face and said, “Because you’re my wife!”
Catherine was moved, tears streaming down her face.
Seeing Justin getting into the police car, Mr. Carlisle Walt smirked with resentment and muttered, “Get lost!”
The pride of the Newtown City Police Department perhaps lies in the robust prison facility here. Therefore, anyone arrested and brought here, whether innocent or guilty, does not display any arrogance. They know that, once carelessly convicted, escaping is impossible. However, in stark contrast to the usual atmosphere and expectations at the police station, Justin, recently arrested on suspicion of murdering the heir to the renowned Walter Corporation, remains remarkably composed. To him, the police station seems more like a leisure outing than a place of interrogation. Leaning back in his chair, stretching out his legs, Justin exudes a nonchalant air. Despite being just an ordinary folding chair in the interrogation waiting room, when Justin sits on it, he radiates a cool attitude. Justin yawns, seemingly indifferent to everything around him. Working with Justin in the interrogation room are two police officers, one male and one female. Typically, only one officer is needed to
In the holding cell, the ten worst criminals were brought in. As rumored, each of them exuded an intimidating presence, and their tattoos of dragons and tigers running along their arms and legs, along with images of swords and daggers, generals on their shoulders and abdomen, made the gang appear dark. The most menacing of them, a burly leader with a long, rugged beard, spoke. “This kid here is quite handsome. We should thank Durango for bringing us this enormous gift.” Edgar spoke with a tone of authority. “Well, what should I do with this ‘adorable’ person? Look at him, so small, the damn asshole is just perfect. Oh! I can’t wait to hear his screams in agony!” With these vulgar words, the gang leader laughed heartily, and his followers joined in, anticipating their share of the spoils. Little did they know that hell awaited them on the doorstep. Justin didn’t bother to respond to the crude remarks of the gang. He raised an eyebrow at their vulgar language but paid no attention
Mayor Patrick frantically scolded Durango like that just because he was afraid of offending Monica. Hanging up the phone, Durango also vaguely realized the situation at that time. It would be disadvantageous if he dared to speak morality. Besides, Mayor Patrick’s panic from the other end of the phone was enough for Durango to feel that this woman and Justin were completely untouchable. Like a dog with its tail between its legs, the sheriff turned to the woman and Justin, stammering. “P…Pleas…e, please forgive me. It was because I was careless, confused and ignorant. Please forgive me this time.” Justin and Monica remained standing in the same place, looking at Durango with cold eyes. Obviously, they have no intention of ignoring this stupid and abusive police officer. As if realizing that, Durango, who had now thrown away all the dignity of a leading police officer, knelt down and clasped his hands in prostration repeatedly. “Please forgive me and help me keep this a secret from
In response to the respectful greetings given to him, Justin only nodded slightly. He noticed Monica, who was also bowing respectfully to him. “Now that you are an official of Newtown, there is no need to show me such respect.” Monica didn’t wait for Justin to say the second sentence and immediately stood up straight. Her ability to work decisively is something that not any man can possess, let alone a woman. Monica glanced at Hamza and the woman walking beside him. “Your Majesty, do I need to deal with these people right now? It seems they came to cause trouble for you.” She said to Justin. Hamza was about to say something, but his ex-fiancee Justin walked next to him and promptly stopped his mouth. She found the newcomers mysterious and somewhat scary, with the guns they held at their sides. “No need. It wouldn’t be good if bloody fights were spread around my future wife’s family. I don’t want anyone to talk about my future wife.” Justin held Katherine’s hand tightly and s
Justin’s surprise proposal to Katherine attracted the attention of everyone around, not only Monica and her teammates but also the neighbors around Katherine’s house. They all came and witness it. In such a poor neighborhood, people often fall in love and become husband and wife after a small wedding, with absolutely no elaborate proposals. But today, that special thing happened in this neighborhood. A fleet of meticulously arranged Rolls-Royce cars, an army of hundreds of elite soldiers kneeling on the ground, a guy with a super beautiful golden ratio face and a calm expression is proposing to a poor girl miserable with the peasant dress commonly seen on women around here and blind eyes. The story seems to only exist in Cinderella fairy tales, but now it is present in real life. This was hard to believe for Hamza and his fiancée - who is also Justin’s ex-fiancee. Originally, they came here today, not only to take revenge but also to humiliate Justin, to shame him into returning
A house with a weathered exterior, built decades ago, stood before them.The peeling walls, faded paint resembling the rough skin cracks of a person in the driest season of the year.The small house, dimly lit by faint yellow lights, gradually lost its light as the day turned into night, adding to its eerie and desolate atmosphere.As dusk fell, two figures in the backyard shared a meal, their desperate postures blending with the melancholy atmosphere of the house.“Why does misfortune always seem to strike at the same time?”The two individuals, each holding their plate, had yet to exchange a word. The woman spoke, accompanied by a heavy sigh.“Julie is missing, still not found. And Katherine was expelled from the family company. I wonder what awaits us in the days to come.”The man replied, his wrinkled face expressing concern and worry.He picked up a piece of lettuce, tasted the bland and even bitter flavor.At that moment, a youthful voice echoed in the air. “Grandma, Grandpa! I’m
It seems Katherine had a long dream, but in the end, she couldn’t recall any images that appeared.She fell into an endless and familiar, yet strange sensation. Vague details clung to her, but then faded and disappeared, leaving only a series of confused feelings with no clear reason.Quite peculiar, Katherine thought. How can a blind person dream about colors and light?She had long abandoned any hope for this, but evidently, a small ambition still lingered deep within her.Katherine was puzzled. She had long been accustomed to darkness, so why did this dream suddenly appear?She had fully awakened but kept her eyes closed to grasp the lingering vague dream sensations.Justin’s gentle hand was caressing her smooth cheek. Katherine smiled, feeling foolish.Why chase after false dreams when Justin, who was already the greatest gift, was right there to compensate?Katherine slowly opened her eyes.Light...Suddenly, a blinding glare hit her, and Katherine cried out in pain, squinting her
Justin’s voice echoed, capturing the attention of everyone in the banquet hall as they turned towards them. The trio quickly became the center of attention, with Justin, Katherine, and Julie drawing everyone’s gaze. Katherine could sense the tension in the air as all eyes shifted towards them. She looked at Justin, and in his arms, their daughter became timid. A feeling of anxiety rolled up within her. But unlike Katherine and Julie, Justin had a different demeanor. His cold gaze moved from one face to another, sweeping through the crowd as if ending all conversations and smiles. Especially when his eyes met Naomi, Hamza, and Mr. Sherwood, a palpable tension appeared on his face. A fire seemed to ignite within Justin, anger and hatred making his eyes as sharp as knives. He seemed ready to kill them. At this moment, whispers suddenly arose around them: “He looks familiar.” “Yes, it seems I know him.” “...” “...” Justin glanced at those people, but paid little attention to the
