Chapter 042 – Zach’s Disappointment and Pain
***** Zach’s breathing never changed again, and his pace never faltered. If anything, he continued moving forward, pushing deeper into the garbage field until, at last… He stopped in his tracks, then chuckled, softly, the sound laced with unmistakable self-mockery and bitterness. “To think…” he murmured, his voice low, carrying a faint edge of pain beneath the calm surface. “…I actually believed one of my parents’ loyalists might have secretly erected a memorial for them.” A subtle flicker or pain, bitterness, and ridicule… directed entirely at himself, passed through his eyes. For a brief moment, he appeared like someone who had hoped… only to realize he shouldn’t have. The major reason Zach had chosen this place as his first destination upon returning to Crossway was simple… yet layered with meaning far deeper than anyone could imagine. Every corner of the estate was filled with memories of his childhood… memories both radiant and painful. Coming here was not merely a
Chapter 043 – “Who…?”
***** From the corner of his eye, Zach caught sight of something unusual… a section of land within the garbage field that stood out. Unlike every other part of the massive stretch of ground, this small section… roughly ten square meters in size was spotlessly clean. It looked so out of place amid the mountains of waste that it almost seemed unreal… like a fragment of another world accidentally dropped into this one. Without the slightest hesitation, Zach turned his head fully toward it, and then… he froze. The area was indeed as neat as he had glimpsed. It was surrounded by a fence roughly two meters tall, creating a clear boundary between the preserved space and the surrounding garbage. The ground inside the fence was covered with green grass, so evenly trimmed and vibrant that it appeared artificial at first glance. Several pots of colorful flowers rested along the fence line, their petals bright and lively, adding warmth and dignity to the small enclosure. However…
Chapter 044 – Trouble Makers’ Arrival
***** Before long, the homeless-looking man finished paying his respects, and pushed himself upright with visible effort, letting out a quiet grunt as his stiff joints protested. Finally, he turned around and reached for the broom. That was when Zach saw his face. It was an elderly man with grey, unkempt hair. His cheeks looked hollow from malnutrition, deep wrinkles carving permanent lines across his skin. Yet despite that, there was a calmness in his expression… a gentle kindness and a harmless smile. His clothes were worn, torn in several places, and hanging loosely over his frail frame. Zach had never seen this version of the man before, but the moment he saw him, recognition struck him with absolute certainty. “Uncle Jacob…?” He whispered, his mouth parting slightly in disbelief. …. Jacob was his father’s trusted aide, a man who had always treated Zach and his brother like his own sons. In Zach’s memories, Jacob had always been immaculate. His suits had always be
Chapter 045 – The Five Five Abusive Youths
***** Watching the five youths standing brazenly before the graveyard, Zach’s brows furrowed slightly. ‘Who are they talking to?’ He wondered. Unhurriedly, his gaze followed theirs, and… He paused. The five boys’ openly derisive expressions were all directed at Jacob. But Jacob, as though he couldn't hear them, showed not even the slightest tinge of reaction, leaving anyone convinced their words weren't directed at him. But Zach wasn't anyone. A single glance at the old man was all he needed to see through him. The faint tremor in his hands despite his effort to keep them steady. The beads of sweat forming on his wrinkled forehead. The subtle tightening of his jaw. And the slight movement of his throat as he swallowed. All of it pointed to one thing… suppressed, but unmistakable fear. ‘They were really here for him,’ Zach thought subconsciously, and just at that moment… “Pft!” One of the teenagers burst into laughter, the sound sharp, obnoxious, and dripping with ri
Chapter 046 – The Family of Degenerates
***** Zach’s face remained calm and unreadable, but the faint twitch at the corner of his lips betrayed the subtle shift in his mood. ‘Cripple him once and for all today?’ The words echoed quietly in his mind, his gaze moving across the boys one by one, studying them with slow, deliberate precision. The one in the center… clearly their leader, couldn’t have been more than eighteen, even though his appearance suggested otherwise. As for the others, they couldn’t have been more than seventeen, or maybe younger. And yet… The arrogance and cruelty they radiated felt disturbingly excessive for their age. The way they spoke to Jacob… brazen and insolent, and how they carried themselves… like they owned not only this dump, but Jacob’s fate itself, was beyond revolting. Even after all this, however, Zach neither moved from his position nor spoke. If anything, he shifted his gaze back to Jacob, genuine perplexity flickering in his eyes, trying to piece the situation
Chapter 047 – Zach’s Recollection
***** Still standing off to the corner, Zach, hearing all Jacob had just uttered, froze. For a brief moment, he just stared, unable to react. Earlier he had been confused about the history between Jacob and the youths, but this… He had not remotely expected this revelation. Ultimately, Zach’s head turned away from Jacob moving toward the troublemakers, or more specifically… their leader. At this moment, the young man was glaring at Jacob with naked hostility, his expression murderous. Not even the slightest trace of guilt or shame was in his eyes… only rage at being exposed. But that wasn’t what caught Zach’s attention. It was the face. ‘The head gardener’s son…?’ The thought surfaced quietly in his mind, his expression remaining perfectly neutral. Then… almost instantly, memory clicked into place. Zach remembered the garden supervisor. He was a man in his early thirties… humble, hardworking, and endlessly sweating under the sun without complaint. He had joine
Chapter 048 – Kindness is For Fools
***** Zach’s attention instantly refocused, only to see that Riam’s rage from earlier was gone. In its place now playful contempt and mockery… the kind of expression someone wore while toying with an insect before crushing it. “Don’t you think it’s about time you came up with a new speech?” Riam drawled, tilting his head slightly as he looked at Jacob like a source of amusement. “Honestly, it’s getting boring.” “Pft!” His underlings erupted into loud, obnoxious laughter, slapping their thighs and nudging each other like spectators enjoying a comedy show. “At this point, it’s practically your trademark,” Riam continued, his nose wrinkling with exaggerated disgust. “Every time we see you… ‘My master this, my family that.’ Honestly, you have started sounding like someone who needs mental and psychological help.” Finished uttering that, a slow, poisonous smile curled the teenager’s lips. “You said my household betrayed your master?” he asked, his voice dripping with feigned
Chapter 049 – “You Dare?!”
***** “He said rabid dogs… hahahaha!” “Even rabid dogs don’t get burned alive!” “Yeah! More like a blasphemous family executed in ancient times!” another chimed in gleefully. And just like that, the group’s laughter spiraled out of control, sounding shrill, cruel, and unrestrained. They doubled over, slapping each other’s shoulders, and some even wiping tears from their eyes as though they had just heard the funniest joke in existence… all while standing directly in front of the graves they were desecrating with their words. Witnessing this, Jacob’s restraint finally snapped. “Brats… how dare you?!” he roared, his voice trembling with fury. “How dare you speak about the master’s family with such disrespect?!” His entire body shook violently, his eyes reddening with a mixture of rage and heartbreak. But instead of intimidation… Jacob’s reaction only excited the five even more. Their expressions turned uglier, additionally vicious, and more delighted. “Oh? He’s angr
Chapter 050 – The Youths’ Fear
***** A suffocating stillness settled over the garbage site now, thick and oppressive. The five youths… along with Jacob were staring at Zach as he advanced toward them, his pace unhurried and unnervingly steady. Zach’s face remained completely devoid of expression, yet, it was precisely this absence of emotion that made him appear extremely terrifying at this moment. No one could read his thoughts, and the unknown always bred the deepest fear. Yet, the closer he came, the more oppressive his presence became, his cold, commanding aura pressing down on them like an invisible weight. And experiencing this… the five youths felt their backs slick with cold sweat. Their faces drained of color, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. They were terrified, not only of the atmosphere, but of the person approaching them… a military man. On any ordinary day, they might not have cared; after all, a uniform was just a uniform. Soldiers were human beings as well… nothing particularl
Chapter 051 – The Youth’s Regained Confidence
***** As soon as Riam’s voice sounded, the other four youths snapped out of their stunned paralysis and shuffled back as well. “Ye… yes… what do you want?” the second youth echoed, his throat visibly bobbing as he swallowed. “It… it’s not what it looks like,” the third boy stuttered, beads of sweat trickling down the side of his face in thin streams, his face deathly pale. “We… we were just talking,” the fourth added hastily, his shoulders quivering. “It’s… its nothing serious.” The fifth youth, however, seemed on the verge of collapse. His nose twitched as he sucked in a sharp breath, panic swelling so violently inside his chest that he wasn't able to think straight again. “You… you can’t touch us,” he blurted, his desperation overriding any caution. “We… we’re only following orders.” However, the moment those words left his mouth, the other four whipped their heads toward him, their eyes blazing with murderous fury. If only looks could kill, he would have been reduced
