Chapter 2


    On the other side of a tomb in the Clifford family, a ragged and dirty girl was surrounded by a group of


    burly men. She sat on the ground in a pitiful state, desperately covering her body with her hands. Tears


    filled her eyes. Dirt was on her face, giving her a pale and frightened look as she stared at the men in


    front of her.


    The men surrounding the girl all had a ferocious expression on their faces, filled with a sense of


    wickedness andsciviousness. Among them, a bald man with a smug smile on his face spoke in a


    harsh voice to the girl on the ground.


    “Well, well, well… So you’re thest bastard of the Clifford family, huh? After waiting for so long, we


    finally found you. Once we’re done with you, the Clifford family will bepletely wiped out. The young


    master will definitely reward us greatly for


    this.”


    “You’re talking nonsense.” The girl’s face showed a stubborn and determined expression as she loudly


    retorted to the bald


    man.


    “My brother is still alive. When my brotheres back, he will tear you all apart.”


    Upon hearing the girl’s words, the people around her were momentarily stunned but then burst into


    laughter in unison.


    “Hahaha! Your brother? Are you talking about Gavin Clifford?” The bald man’s face showed a mocking


    and sneering expression as he spoke.


    “Gavin Clifford died 10 years ago in the Sunspire Resistance. There’s no trace of his goddamn corpse


    anymore.”


    “You’re lying. My brother didn’t die. He didn’t die.”


    Tears continued to flow from the girl’s eyes, but her tone remained firm and defiant.


    “Boss.” At this moment, a skinny man resembling a ‘monkey ran up to the bald man. He first licked his


    lips while looking at the girl on the ground and then eagerly spoke to the bald man.


    “Now that we’ve caught this little girl, it’s simple to kill her. But before we do that, can I… Well, you


    know what I’m talking


    about, Boss.”


    As the skinny man spoke, he touched his belt.


    “You little brat.” The bald man kicked the skinny man angrily and said, “I’ll do it first.”


    “Alright, Boss, you’re definitely the first one.”


    “Hahaha.”


    The bald man looked at the girl on the ground, licking his lips with a flushed face as he walked toward


    her. As he walked, he unfastened his belt.


    The girl panicked and asked incoherently, “What… what are you doing? What are you doing?”


    But in the next second…


    Rip!


    The girl struggled. One of the legs of her worn-out jeans was torn off by the bald man, revealing arge


    area of her snow- white legs.

    Seeing this scene, the people around couldn’t help but salivate.


    “Ah! Get away! Don’t touch me!”


    “Hahaha.” The bald man still had that lewd smile on his face as he loudly said, “Serve me well, little


    slut.”


    After saying that, he took off his pants, revealing his grotesque and small member.


    With his ugly hands, he grabbed the girl’s ankle.


    Just at that moment….


    Whoosh! A loud sound broke the silence as a huge b of stone shot toward the bald man.


    The stone b looked extremely heavy, definitely not something an ordinary person could lift.


    It was difficult to lift, yet someone managed to send it flying at such a fast speed. It was as if thews of


    nature themselves had conspired to unleash this cataclysmic assault. How could anyone muster the


    strength to wield such an unfathomable object?


    In the next second…


    “Bang!” The huge stone b ruthlessly smashed into the bald man, who was exposing his ugly


    member.


    “Poof!”


    A crimson tide surged forth. An unyielding torrent of life’s essence erupted from the bald man’s mouth


    and nose. His features contorted in agony, and his once formidable countenance was reduced to a


    mask of pain and despair. The sheer force of the blow catapulted his body backward like a marite


    in the hands of an invisible puppeteer.


    “Boss!”


    The onlookers gasped in disbelief. Their voices trembled with a mixture of horror and concern. The


    sight before them was an affront to their senses, an assault on their understanding of the natural order.


    The first one to take action was, of course, the skinny man who resembled a monkey. He let out a cry


    and rushed to the side of the bald man, supporting his boss with a panicked expression.


    “Boss, are you okay? How are you feeling right now?”


    At that moment, the bald man’s face contorted in agony, his mouth and nose a macabre canvas of


    crimson. Half of his body was deeply sunken. The life force within him seemed to wane, His body was


    sinking into a state of profound vulnerability. It seemed that he would die soon.


    But at that moment, the bald man struggled to raise his arm and pointed in a direction, his finger


    trembling slightly


    Everyone turned their gaze in the direction indicated by the bald man’s trembling finger. Their eyes


    widened in astonishment as they beheld a young man in in clothes standing amidst the chaos as if


    he had emerged from the very fabric of the universe itself.


    Moreover, the expression on this young man’s face was extremely ferocious as if he was filled with


    intense pain and hatred. The weight of his sorrow seemed to hang heavy in the air. It was a palpable


    force that permeated the surrounding atmosphere.


    His bloodshot eyes mirrored the depths of his torment as if he had traversed the darkest recesses of


    his own soul. At that moment, he seemed to carry within him a burden too immense for words. His


    expression spoke volumes, a symphony of anguish and wrath that resonated with their own hidden


    pain.


    Suddenly, someone shouted loudly at him, “Kid! Who the hell are you?”


    At that moment, the girl who had previously fallen to the ground somehow gathered her strength to get


    up from the ground and rushed in the direction of the young man, letting out a fierce roar as if she had


    used up all her strength.


    “Gavin!”


    Her voice was so loud that it even cracked.


    However, because she was extremely weak, she only took a few steps before she fell straight to the


    ground again.


    But this time, she didn’t fall directly onto the ground. Instead, she fell into someone’s warm embrace.


    “My brother… Gavin…”


    Zoe’s voice trembled with a mixture of relief and anguish as she buried her head deep into Gavin’s


    chest. Her fragile frame shook with the weight of her emotions. Her two thin arms tightly wrapped


    around his neck as if afraid to let go.


    The sound of her crying reverberated through the ruins of the once majestic Clifford Vi, each sob a


    cathartic release of the pain that had been suppressed within her heart for the past 10 long years.


    Gavin, his own tears mingling with Zoe’s, held her tightly in his embrace. His heart ached as he felt the


    weight of her suffering, the toll of a decade spent apart etched into every tear-streaked line on her face.


    With gentle strokes, he patted her back. His touch was a soothing balm to her wounded soul.


    “Zoe, don’t be afraid. I’m back… I’m back, Gavin whispered softly, his voice a tender, reassurance in


    the midst of their shared turmoil. He knew that mere words could not erase the scars that time had


    carved into his sister’s spirit, but he hoped that his presence would serve as a beacon of sce and


    strength.


    Zoe was Gavin’s sister.


    Upon hearing Gavin say, “I’m back,” the sound of her crying intensified.


    Zoe’s crying and frail body were telling Gavin the immense suffering she had endured over the past 10


    years.


    These years… you’ve suffered a lot.


    Gavin’s voice choked up, but Zoe shook her head frantically, lifting her tear-filled eyes to look directly at


    Gavin as she


    sobbed.


    “Gavin… I… I haven’t suffered. I knew it. You didn’t die. You wouldn’t die. Gavin, you’ve finallye


    back. The suffering I’ve endured… The efforts I’ve made… Everything… everything is worth it.”


    In the end, Zoe’s voice waspletely drowned out by her crying, and she couldn’t utter a word


    anymore.


    Her sister was in such a sorry state, but she was still stubbornly trying tofort him, which made


    Gavin’s heart ache.


    The reunion of the siblings was a touching scene, but some people didn’t want to pay any attention to


    it.


    “Hey! Are you Gavin Clifford? Are you still alive? Why didn’t you die in the Sunspire Resistance 10


    years ago?”


    The person speaking was the skinny man. Clearly, after his boss was no longer around, he became the


    leader of this group.


    When Gavin heard this voice, he suddenly looked up, and his bloodshot eyes immediately locked onto


    the skinny man.


    The skinny man suddenly felt a strange chilling toward him. He shivered all over, but he didn’t


    think it was because of Gavin’s imposing pressure on him. Instead, he pointed his finger provocatively


    at Gavin.


    He shouted, “Kid! Since you’re alive, why didn’t you just hide and live a miserable life? How dare you


    come back? Well, you came back at the right moment. Today is just right for killing two birds with one


    stone. I’ll kill both of you here! We can then consider our mission aplished!”


    At this point, the tone of the skinny man suddenly changed as he said, “Of course, your sister will


    definitely die a littleter than you. We’re gonna have some fun with this youngdy.”
