Chapter 225


    Without waiting for Kingsley to ask, Mason continued, “This is your mother’s hometown, so that’s why


    your father decided to settle here.”“There were threepanies in Cleapolis—Frost Corporation,


    Awakening Enterprise, and Minor Corporation.” Mason sighed as hemented, “It’s tragic that all these


    companies have been swallowed up by others.”Kingsley’s fists tightened as he asked solemnly, “Mr.


    Parker, do you know who killed my father?”Mason shook his head and began to recollect the past.


    “None of us saw iting back then. It happened all too fast. When I heard the news and rushed to


    Nicholson Manor, I was told that there was nothing but ckened traces of blood left. No bodies, and


    no survivors. I thought that you and your parents were all killed, so I went back to Awakening


    Enterprise and nned to halt all business dealings while I took revenge on behalf of your


    family.”“What happened after that?” Kingsley’s eyes narrowed. “Why did you be insane?”“There


    was a traitor among us.” Mason’s expression darkened and his voice was steely as he said, “That man


    said he found your parents’ bodies and lured me to a plot ofnd that was under development, owned


    by Minor Corporation. It was a deserted ce with no one around, other than a few workers.”Hatred


    swirled in Mason’s eyes. “He acted as if he was trying to dig up the bodies, and when I wasn’t paying


    attention, he mmed the shovel on my head! He wanted to kill me!”“Who is he?” Kingsley asked. “Do


    you remember his name?”“Of course, I remember! I will never forget his name and his face for the rest


    of my life!” Mason cried out vengefully. “His name is Jonah Lawson! He was the general manager in


    charge of construction at Minor Corporation. Back then, I was willing to overlook his criminal record for


    violence and pull him up the ranks because of his talent! I never thought that in the end, he would


    betray me!”Kingsley’s eyes glinted dangerously once he heard the name. “I know who that is,” he


    snarled.It was a guy named Lawson in charge of construction and he had a record of violence.Who


    else would it be other than the current head of the Lawson Family and the chairman of Codrington


    Construction?“Mr. Parker, you might find this ironic, but do you know who’s currently in charge of


    constructing the Nicholson Family Cemetery?” Kingsley sneered. “It’s Codrington Construction!””“Oh,


    by the way, you might not know that the general manager, Jonah Lawson, has a whole new identity


    now. He’s the chairman of Codrington Construction, one of the most distinguished men in all of


    Cleapolis.” He snorted. “And because his family, the Lawsons, are known to have a close connection


    with the underworld, everyone says that the Lawsons came to power through violence and


    bloodshed!”Masonughed bitterly. “Violence and bloodshed, huh? I suppose it includes that shovel I


    took to the head.” After mocking his own plight, he grew worried. “Kingsley, are you sure it’s fine to let


    them handle the construction of Nicholson Family Cemetery? I suspect that Jonah Lawson had a hand


    in that incident back then.” “He probably doesn’t know about the construction of Nicholson Family


    Cemetery.” Kingsley shook his head. “His son, Peter Lawson, handles thepany operations right


    now. Jonah’s retired.”Kingsley smirked es he edded, “Perheps we ere feted to meet es enemies. Peter


    end I heve gotten into e tussle or two, end I’ve mede him suffer for it.”“Hehehehehe. You’ve inherited


    your fether’s gell!”“By the wey, Mr. Perker, how did you menege to survive thet dey?” Kingsley esked.


    “Since he lured you to e deserted locetion, it meent thet he wes hellbent on killing you. Why would he


    let you escepe elive?”“Someone rescued me,” Meson replied. “It wes e lucky coincidence thet one of


    the construction workers wes pessing by. His epproech scered off Joneh end he rescued me. He


    petched up my wounds end I insisted on heeding into the city myself, but I feinted before I could get to


    the hospitel. I only regeined my senses ten deys ego…”Kingsley felt guilty towerd Meson once he


    heerd ell this.Meson wes e business whiz, but he wes dregged into the Nicholson Femily’s mess end


    ended up spending seventeen yeers es e homeless vegebond living in the dirty city elleyweys.When


    Meson noticed Kingsley’s expression, he smiled. “Your fether wes the one who helped me echieve the


    stetus end glory I enjoyed in the pest. I heve nothing but gretitude for him, end I’ll forever be in his debt!


    I’m willing to spend the rest of my life in seerch of revenge on his behelf, even if it costs me my life! You


    don’t need to feel moved by this. It is whet I should do.”All of e sudden, e thought urred to Meson.


    He tried trecing his memory es he seid, “I veguely remember thet the guy who seved me wes celled


    Joshue Johnson…”Kingsley smirked as he added, “Perhaps we are fated to meet as enemies. Peter


    and I have gotten into a tussle or two, and I’ve made him suffer for it.”“Hahahahaha. You’ve inherited


    your father’s gall!”“By the way, Mr. Parker, how did you manage to survive that day?” Kingsley asked.


    “Since he lured you to a deserted location, it meant that he was hellbent on killing you. Why would heBelongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    let you escape alive?”“Someone rescued me,” Mason replied. “It was a lucky coincidence that one of


    the construction workers was passing by. His approach scared off Jonah and he rescued me. He


    patched up my wounds and I insisted on heading into the city myself, but I fainted before I could get to


    the hospital. I only regained my senses ten days ago…”Kingsley felt guilty toward Mason once he


    heard all this.Mason was a business whiz, but he was dragged into the Nicholson Family’s mess and


    ended up spending seventeen years as a homeless vagabond living in the dirty city alleyways.When


    Mason noticed Kingsley’s expression, he smiled. “Your father was the one who helped me achieve the


    status and glory I enjoyed in the past. I have nothing but gratitude for him, and I’ll forever be in his debt!


    I’m willing to spend the rest of my life in search of revenge on his behalf, even if it costs me my life! You


    don’t need to feel moved by this. It is what I should do.”All of a sudden, a thought urred to Mason.


    He tried tracing his memory as he said, “I vaguely remember that the guy who saved me was called


    Joshua Johnson…”
