Chapter 499: Chapter 220 Who am I, Where am I, What Happened

January 17th.

Lundan West District, Manor Avenue No. 13.

Wayne parked the sedan, took out the keys to open the door, and walked towards the villa’s basement.

It had been three days since Lando Manor was attacked, and in those three days, Wayne hadn’t seen a single member of the Lando Family.

Veronica deliberately avoided him, the Dragon Blood Girl’s skin was too thin, feeling ashamed and annoyed remembering the kiss that night; she didn’t want to see the detestable face of the social trash.

Wayne expressed his understanding; a young person’s first kiss is always unforgettable. He had experienced it many times and knew better; Veronica’s reaction was normal, and she would be fine after a couple of days.

Hefei wasn’t deliberately avoiding him; she was simply busy with work. Aside from The Church’s routine administration, there was the selection of the Holy Maiden to attend to, and an investigator from headquarters was soon to arrive in Lundan, whom she was trying to identify through her connections.

Austin avoided him, pretending to be busy every day, but Wayne knew exactly what that meant.

Pressure!

A psychological tactic commonly used at the negotiating table, like slowly boiling a frog in warm water. The side in a position of advantage enjoys using this tactic to gain more benefits.

Today, three days later, Wayne received an invitation from Megan; Austin had asked to meet him in the air-raid shelter of the basement at Manor Avenue No. 13.

Wayne had lived in this manor villa for a while when, after seducing the daughter of a prominent figure, he was forced by a issued hit order to leave the area and lay low elsewhere.

On the train, he met Hefei by chance and became her student. Upon returning to Lundan, Hefei arranged for him to stay temporarily at this manor villa.

At that time, through Ah Bin’s introduction, Wayne met Yuliya, drew out Shadowmare, and the Death Knight officially landed in Lundan.

Austin asking to meet Wayne here was more than eloquent.

Wayne was mentally prepared for a showdown; to be fair, Austin had already given him a lot of face, knowing he was the Death Knight and yet not publicizing it.

Perhaps it was due to his status as the heir, family scandals should not be publicized, or perhaps...

Old Login wanted to keep this secret to himself, like the Devil Alliance, manipulating the Death Knight behind the scenes for his own use.

Unfortunately for Wayne, he couldn’t do anything about it—his lady was Hefei, and his daughter was Veronica, both of whom meant a great deal to Wayne.

Life is tough, the pretty boy sighs.

Wayne could imagine, given Windsor’s culture of exploiting what works to death and Austin’s identity as an old Randao under the Union Jack, how difficult his future life would be.

The basement’s wall lights were already on; Wayne glanced at his watch, still half an hour to go before the appointed time. With Austin’s airs, he wouldn’t arrive early.

But he was already there!

"Damn social trash, are you that eager?"

Wayne cursed in his heart, taking heavy steps towards the end of the air-raid shelter, through the gate and into the sewer.

The sewer!

Old Login had made it clear!

Wayne had no illusions left; he was convinced of Austin’s intelligence. When the latter wrote ’Death Knight’, the dust had settled, and everything was over.

Wayne was extremely annoyed; that night, he shouldn’t have kicked out that kick. If he had kept to the Death Knight’s standard of speaking little and acting aloof, even someone as clever as Austin wouldn’t have been able to detect anything.

"Forget it, I’ve been with his daughter; it’s okay to tell him."

Wayne walked through the spacious flood control channel. Not many steps ahead, he saw two figures in the dim light.

Austin, who was toying with an Ancient Silver Coin, and Megan, holding a flashlight for illumination.

The light, dim and angled up at forty-five degrees, illuminated half of Austin’s face, with the other half shrouded in darkness, his expression heavy.

Against the black background of the flood control channel, he seemed to stand amidst darkness like a Demon King, leaving Wayne feeling helpless.

He had to admit, Austin’s mind was indeed superior to his.

"You’ve come."

"Yes, I have."

"You could have chosen not to."

"I had to come."

"..."x2

The atmosphere fell silent.

Austin looked at Wayne complicatedly, unsure of how he had given himself away and for how long, having never shown anything in front of Wayne; yet, Wayne had guessed it.

Perhaps Wayne had known long ago and kept silent for the sake of the family.

Not until the mysterious person attacked Lando Manor, and his own performance was too clumsy, putting his wife and daughter in jeopardy, did Wayne’s patience break, and he wrote down ’Dark Knight’ on paper.

Austin didn’t want to admit it, but he had to recognize that Wayne’s mind was really above his.

Austin also considered that previously, Wayne might have pretended not to know anything for the sake of the family, but after he revealed this, Wayne might use it to blackmail him, taking control of the secret to control the Lando Family.

Wayne: Hehehe, Austin, you don’t want the teacher and Veronica to know you’re the Dark Knight, right?

Wayne: That’s right, I’ve been playing around with women outside, so what? Try telling Veronica, and I’ll reveal your identity as the Dark Knight.

Wayne: Little Austin, Veronica knows about my affairs outside. Help me convince her; just say I did it for unavoidable family circumstances.

Wayne: Who do you think you are? Remember, I’m the head of the family!

In those three days, whenever Austin thought of these scenarios, he clenched his teeth so tightly he almost cracked his molars.

But he couldn’t do anything to Wayne; he was his lady’s student, his daughter’s fondness, and even his own choice for an heir.

Luckily, the problem wasn’t too big. It’s true he was the Dark Knight, and wasn’t Wayne just the same?
