Hazel sat on a cold chair, carefully flipping through the documents inside. Apart from the ones in her hands, the

rest were with the Scott family.

Her mother had already changed her nbefore she married into the Robinson family.

After reading what was inside, Hazel felt as if she was enveloped in a dark cloud.

From the heart to the limbs, there was a pervasive numbness and exhaustion.

Hazel had someone destroy the documents in her hands, while also learning from Johnson that Leo had already

destroyed other electronic

versions.

| didn't sleep all night, and my eyes started to feel sore.

In the blink of an eye, a few drops of tears would flow out, and she casually wiped them away with her fingertips.

Hazel stood up and said, "Let's go, clean up this mess before leaving Los Angeles, so that it won't cause any

more trouble forin the future." The black Bentley swiftly weaved through the bustling streets of Los Angeles,

heading towards a secluded area, becoming more and more remote as it went further.

Apart from the old Los Angeles aristocracy, few people nowadays know about the former bustling glory that once

existed here. The car stopped on the empty land that had long been leveled. Hazel tightened her coat and

looked at the desolate land in front of her. It was hard to imagine that the most famous legendary figure of Los

Angeles once lived here.

A hundred years ago, the major aristocratic families felt honored to be able to enter here, but now only the cold

autumn wind blows through.

Marlon, her grandfather.

The Fowler family reached the peak of dominance.

Not only in Los Angeles, but even in later cities like Seattle and Baltimore, those children of wealthy families

would respectfully call him Mr. Fowler when they saw him.

Not to mention the members of the Fowler family themselves, even the butler, driver, and servants of the Fowler

family were also sought after by many people outside.

But several decades ago, there was a turmoil.

The Fowler family's strength becthe prtarget that the Northern power centers wanted to seize, with

numerous dirty and despicable

means.

In order to protect his only daughter, Marlon sent her abroad and took care of everything she would need for her

future life. Hazel's mother, Jessie, was once the most prestigious socialite in Los Angeles, and she was the apple

of her grandfather's eye. However, during the prof her life, she encountered a man named Ivan Scott.

After being deceived both emotionally and physically, she finally realized that Ivan had approached her with a

hidden agenda from the beginning.

The purpose was to swallow up the wealth of the Fowler family!

The document clearly stated that someone used unscrupulous means to steal her grandmother's ashes and

forced her grandfather to commit suicide.

Otherwise, he would pour all of his ex-wife

ashes into the fire, so that she would never be at peace in her next life.

Her grandfather, a person like that, only loved one woman in his lifetime, her grandmother. The two of them

grew up together, got married, and had children.

She let her mother see the most beautiful aspect of love.

So her mother believed firmly that there was the purest and most beautiful love in the world, and she longed for

it in her heart.

Unfortunately, until her death, she regretted her choices.

A prominent figure that led the northern aristocratic circle.

Pushing aside the tangled vines, B stone door crafted from giant rocks was revealed in front.

The dim, damp, and chilly basement was filled with an unpleasant odor.

An elderly figure collapsed on the cold ground.

Although Keegan has been developing in Los Angeles, he has never set foot on this side of the land

again.

After being brought here last night, he was immediately thrown into this basement.

As Johnson left, he also took away all the brightness of this space.

Even the slightest sound would be amplified several times here.

At this moment, with Hazel's arrival, the oil lamp on the basement wall was lit.

A wind blew in through intentionally left ventilation cracks, causing the candle flto flicker and making

the space appear even more cerie and terrifying.

At this time, Keegan also finally saw what the basement looked like.

Even though he, being born and raised in the Fowler's villa, didn't know that there was such a large secret room

in the back mountain.

Keegan recalled the legends about the Fowler family in the martial arts world.

The firelight burned in the depths of my eyes, could it be true that those rumors from the past were real? co but

Marlon did not take away his enormous wealth at all, but left it all behind in an undisclosed secret base in Los

Angeles!

Keegan, who thought of this, couldn't help but tremble with excitement.

Looking at the man with an inflamed wound on the ground, Hazel's gaze swept over the dark corner of the

basement, where all the new products she had developed had already evaporated completely.

"What you did back then, is it something you will confess on your own, or do | have to make someone pry open

your mouth?"

-Keegan's legs were broken by Johnson with a stick, blood was flowing, and the bones were clearly visible.

In the dark basement, the smell of blood made the already enclosed space even

Keegan, gritting his teeth tightly, thought about these anxious years and managed to hold back his

cold and chilling, "But your only daughter, I'm afraid she won't be able to wait any longer."

The man's body trembled again, but he still didn't turn around.

"That was also your last chance."

Just after Hazel left, a discreet black car parked where she had just parked.
