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 three companies in Cleapolis—Frost Corporation, Awakening Enterprise, and Minor
Corporation." Mason sighed as he lamented, "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 it coming 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 blackened 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 planned 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 become 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 of land that was under
development, owned by Minor Corporation. It was a deserted place 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 slammed 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!"
Mason laughed 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 the company operations right now. Jonah's retired."
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 he 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 occurred to Mason. He tried tracing his memory as he said, "I vaguely
remember that the guy who saved me was called Joshua Johnson…"
