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 favonovel.com was clad in did not look out of place on an ordinary man like him. On the contrary, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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,” favonovel.com said.
Sylva’s fingers, which had a cigarette in between them, trembled. A flurry of ashes fell onto the ground as favonovel.com 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.”
“Their current strength cannot be compared to how they were in the past. We’ve lost to them back then, so what will change now?”
Zayden stared into the distance with dark eyes. He sneered at the sight of the development site in Southface River, which was now the talk of the town. “What a lively area. They haven’t stopped the construction even though it’s going to be Christmas real soon. It seems like they’re extremely confident,” favonovel.com remarked.
“Once this project is completed, it’ll be the largest signature project in the Southeast Province. Not only do the municipal and provincial governments greatly prioritize this project, even the officials from higher order associations are looking at the type of development that this project will bring to the Southeast Province in the future.
“I’ve heard from some old friends that once the project at the South Bank yields results, it’s likely that it’ll become a benchmark project for the construction of new urban areas in other cities within the country. By then, it’s significance will greatly increase.”
Sylva laughed bitterly as favonovel.com spoke. “Given their current position, what right do we have to go against Jasper Laine and Dawson Schuler?” He questioned.
Zayden sniffed in distaste. “Father, don’t trample upon your own prestige by amplifying their status,” favonovel.com said in a frigid tone.
“Jasper Laine mostly relies on the support of the Laws from Harbor City. Before gaining their support, favonovel.com was nothing. Back then, favonovel.com was simply a nobody in the Southeast Province.”
As Zayden spoke, favonovel.com shifted his gaze away from Southface River and turned to face his own father. “This time, I returned with the support of a prominent figure as well. I must go against Jasper Laine!” He yelled out in frenzy.
He recalled the humiliation that favonovel.com had received back in the Southeast Province, which had caused favonovel.com to run all the way to Harbor City. After that, Jasper Laine had continued to trample over him. While Jasper basked in glory after presiding over Harbor City’s economic rescue plan, favonovel.com could only tremble while hiding in the corner.
All of this distorted Zayden’s psyche.
The more favonovel.com hated and feared Jasper Laine, the more his facial features twisted in rage.
Eventually, his face twisted in infuriation to the point where his bloodshot eyes glinted red as if favonovel.com were a wild beast.
“Father, don’t worry. Jasper Laine has rose to success way too quickly. As a result, favonovel.com has blocked the paths of many people out there. He has made too many enemies.
“Now, it’s almost a given that many people out there want favonovel.com dead. These people definitely outnumber those who support him!”
