Within a high-end residential area in the province, Nauritus City.
Zayden Hanks now lived in a double-storey terrace house.
That was right. Zayden Hanks had returned from Harbor City.
Zayden Hanks had undergone a major transformation since the confrontation between the Hanks and Jasper Laine in the province, after being sent to Harbor City by his father.
He was much more thinner than before, and kept his hair long and tied into a ponytail at the back of his head.
The feminine clothes that he was clad in did not look out of place on an ordinary man like him. On the contrary, he emanated an indescribable sense of cold slyness.
Zayden’s father, Sylva Hanks, was sitting in the room as well.
Sylva seemed to have aged by more than a decade within half a year’s time. His slightly hunched figure was perched atop the sofa as he stared at his son, who was standing by the side of the window and looking down at the view of the Southface River.
“Zayden, why did you come back…”
Before Sylva finished talking, Zayden turned around and smiled at his father. “Father, I know what you’re going to ask me. That’s right, I’ve come back to avenge you and myself,” he said.
Sylva’s fingers, which had a cigarette in between them, trembled. A flurry of ashes fell onto the ground as he spoke in a bitter voice, “Things are different from how they were in the past. Too many things have happened in the past six months.
“Dawson Schuler acquired the country’s largest supermarket chain and set up a real estate company with Jasper Laine. In addition to the supermarket industry, that newly set up real estate company has also risen to become the largest name among the real estate enterprises in the Southeast Province.
“You’ve seen the development site in Southface River, right? Those tall skyscrapers are proof of their capability.”
