Chapter 44
Listening to Gavin’s questioning. Dexter’s gaze kept flickering.
Gavin could clearly see a trace of panic in Dexter’s eyes.
Gavin was sure that Dexter must know something about the massacre of the Clifford family back then.
However, Dexter had no intention of answering Gavin’s question. Instead, he immediately changed the
subject and shouted loudly.
“You actuallyid hands on me? I am themander of the Soutnd Army in Brookspring Battlefield.
This is tantamount to dering war against our entire Soutnd Army!”
Hearing Dexter’s words, Gavin knew that Dexter definitely had no intention of answering his question.
However, Gavin did not intend to spare Dexter’s life.
If Dexter wouldn’t talk, there would surely be someone else who would.
If no one told him, Gavin would simply follow the path of the Soutnd Army and fight his way through.
In the end, he could personally ask the Soutnd Overlord mentioned by Dexter.
Gavin looked at Dexter in front of him and shook his head slowly.
He said, “I’m sorry, you’ve given the wrong answer. Now, you can only die.”
Hearing this, Dexter’s gaze tightened, and he immediately eximed in shock, “How can you still want
to kill me?
“Tve already told you! I am themander of the Soutnd Army in Brookspring Battlefield!”
He had said this three times already, right?
How could Gavin not hear him?
But did Gavin care?
Since Dexter wouldn’t answer, Gavin didn’t want to waste any more words on him. He directly charged
toward Dexter. Dexter was horrified and roared at Gavin.
“You can’t kill me! If you kill me, you’ll be hunted down by the entire Soutnd Army for the rest of your
life. When they find out I’m dead, you…”
“Bang!” A muffled sound rang out.
Dexter’s voice stopped abruptly.
Standing in ce, Dexter’s face turned pale, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He lowered his
head in agony.
At his chest, there was now a massive cavity.
The heart inside the cavity had beenpletely pulverized.
This was all the result of a single punch from Gavin.
With a thud, Dexter’s limp body slowly fell to the ground. His wide eyes were still filled with terror,
refusing to close even though he was dead.
After doing all this, Gavin stood in ce and slowly looked up at the somewhat dim moonlight in the
sky.
In an instant, his figure flickered, and he returned to the ruins of the Clifford family vi.
Looking at the densely packed graves in the ruins, a faint mist filled Gavin’s eyes. He clenched his fists.
He said slowly, “The lost souls of the Clifford family, rest assured.
“I will avenge your grudges.
“Regardless of who is involved, what kind of power they have, I will make them alle to the
afterworld and personally make amends to you!”
Boom! A shocking thunderp resounded.
In the moment that Gavin’s words fell, the previously cloudless night sky suddenly burst open with a
bolt of lightning
Following that, a torrential ram poured down.
The raindrops fell densely on Gavin’s body. It was unclear whether it was rain or tears on his face.
However, lus gaze was more determined than ever before
After some time, in Robert’s SUV
Gavin gently held the asleep Kris. Robert drove them toward the upscale apartment Gavin had rented.
As for the critically wounded Scott from earlier, Gavin locked him in the underground chamber of the
Clifford family
ruins.
Scott certainly deserved to die, but Gavin believed that the person to kill Scott shouldn’t be him but
Kris.
It was just that Kris had suffered tremendous mental trauma, and everything would have to wait until
she recovered. Before long, Robert sent Gavin and Kris back to the apartment..
Originally, Robert wanted to apany Gavin upstairs, but he was declined by Gavin.
Gavin carried Kris and returned to the unit he had rented.
When the door opened, his younger sister Zoe and fiancée La were waiting anxiously at the door.
When they saw the woman in Gavin’s arms, the two of them eximed at the same time.
“Kris!”
Kris was Gavin’s aunt, so she was also their family.
The two girls rushed to Gavin’s side, their faces filled with shock. They stared at the scars on Kris’s
body in disbelief.
Tears of heartache immediately flowed out of the two girl’s eyes.
Zoe looked at Gavin and spoke in shock, “Gavin, what happened to Kris? How did she end up like
this?”
Seeing the two girls cared so much for Kris, Gavin felt their pain deeply. His face carried a trace of
sadness as he shook his head gently.
As if startled by the girls’ gasps, or perhaps after a long sleep, Kris slowly opened her eyes.
When she saw herself lying in Gavin’s arms, there was no sign of panic in her eyes. Instead, there was
a sense of reassurance. Watching Kris open her eyes, Gavin gently released her and let her stand on
the floor.
Zoe and La also surrounded Kris with concern.
Zoe asked, “Kris, how are you? You must have suffered a lot!”
They were all Kris’s rtives, but when Kris saw the two girls, her eyes suddenly filled with intense
fear. She tightly gripped Gavin’s sleeve, hiding behind him, and her body trembled slightly.
It seemed that apart from Gavin, no one else could provide her with a sense of safety.
Watching this scene, the hearts of Zoe and La ached even more.
They looked at Gavin with eyes brimming with tears.
Zoe asked, “Gavin, what has happened to Kris?”
La added, “Why doesn’t she recognize us?”
“Well…
Gavin let out a soft sigh and said, “In this past week, Kris has endured unimaginable torment, and her
mental state has suffered immense damage. Now, she’s like a walking corpse.”
“What?” Upon hearing Gavin’s words, the grief on Zoe and La’s faces became even more
overwhelming
“How could this happen? How could it be like this?”

“Is it because of those bastards from the Holman family?”
Zoe clenched her fists angrily and eximed.
“Those bastards from the Holman family. They’ve already wiped out our Clifford family. Aren’t they
satisfied yet? Why do they still torture Kris? Kris isn’t even a part of the Clifford family!”
Zoe wept and fell into La’s embrace. La gently patted Zoe to offerfort without saying a word.
Watching his beloved family in this sorrowful state, Gavin clenched his fists tightly once again and
made a deration firmly
“Rest assured. The Clifford family is our enemy. I will send them all to hell, one by one!”
In order to help Kris adapt sooner, Gavin gently held her delicate hand. His voice was gentle
“Kris, don’t be afraid. They are all our rtives”
He pointed to Zoe and said, “This is Zoe, my younger sister. Do you still remember her? This is La.
She And I am Gay. You should still remember us, right?”

Hearing Gavin’s words, Kris’s eyes still showed signs of panic. However, when she heard the word
“Gav,” she finally had a
reaction.
Her lips moved, and she murmured, “Gav… Gav…”
“Gav” was the only word she kept repeating.
And her hand, covered in scars, still held tightly onto Gavin’srge hand. She refused to let go.
Seeing this scene, Gavin’s heart was pierced with pain.
Then, La’s voice sounded.
“Gavin, it seems that only you canfort Kris now. Therefore, Zoe and I should probably keep some
distance from Kris for now. She needs time to get familiar with us and adapt to her surroundings.”
She added, “If it happens too quickly, I’m afraid Kris might not be able to handle it.”
After hearing La’s words, Gavin knew she was right.
He could only sigh faintly and say, “It seems we have no choice.”
However, he immediately instructed Zoe.
“Zoe, didn’t I buy you a lot of clothes today? Kris’s size is simr to yours. Quickly find some clean
clothes. Kris can’t wear these ones anymore.”
“Alright!” Zoe immediately turned and ran into her room.
Then, Gavin said to La, “La, it might be up to you to help Kris with her bath. I’m sorry to trouble
you.”
La immediately replied, “Gavin, what are you saying? Kris is your aunt, so she is my family too. How
can you call it a trouble?”
She patted Gavin’s shoulder and said, “Don’t you worry. Leave it to me!”
While Gavin’s arrangements were thoughtful, when it came time to put the n into action, they ran
into a problem!
In the bathroom, Kris refused to let La and Zoe touch her, and she wouldn’t release Gavin’s hand no
matter what.
Kris held Gavin’s hand tightly. Tears were welling in her eyes, and she kept shaking her head. She
couldn’t speak aplete sentence, only making sobbing sounds.
The helplessness on Kris’s face overwhelmed La and Zoe. Their tender hearts made them unable to
force Kris
La could only say to Gavin, “Gavin, it seems you’ll have to give Kris a bath yourself.”
Gavin asked incredulously. “What did you say?”
