Keaton had a square face and a shout buzz cut, with a slightly receding hairlar. His skin was a healthy, tan color. Though he looked kind when he souled, his eyes showed no real warnuh.

He gave off the impression of a serious façade, like a smiling tiger, not to be underestimated.

"Uncle Keaton, you're right, James said, feeling a throb in his temple and tension in his ja honestly, I've been toscang and turning at night, constantly thinking about Borris."

Keaton sighed and said. "I understand. It's heart-wrenching for me too. Such a tragedy happened to out family once before. Back then, when your father's enemy came to him, in a terrible mix-up, my daughter was killed"

Keaton let out a bitter Lough and comminued. "That entire family-from the 80-year-old patriarch to the three-year-old toddler, including the nine-month pregnant woman-was killed. I spared only that one murderer.

I used my influence to keep him in prison, and he's been there for thirty years.

James glanced up at Keaton and said. "Unde Keaton, your methods are much more refined than mine."

Keaton sighed and replied. "Refined: Back then, I was your age too, just reckless and impulsive. If I had been as wise as I am now, my daughter wouldn't have been killed. The murderer did lose his family, but it didn't lessen the burning hatred in my heart. "My daughter was only around five, innocent and sweet, completely blameless. He shouldn't have, oh, he shouldn't have run her over with his car. When he watched his wife being skinned alive, he begged me desperately.

"He said he was fleeing in such a hurry that he didn't notice a child behind the car, but I didn't care about the circumstances-I only saw the result. Seeing them desperate didn't make me happy either. More than anything, I was heartbroken." James said. "Uncle Keaton. I know you're hiring inside."

Keston waved his hand and said. "I called you back to let you know that the Horton family is aware of the situation. They've asked us to let that young lady go, saying both sides have already faced the consequences, and it's time to move on from this" "The Horton family? James seemed a bit annoyed. Being one of the Top Ten Families, the Hortons truly were a powerhouse. Compared to them. the Williams family appeared quite weaker,

James wondered. "But why would the Horton family be involved with people like the Larsons? In a situation like this, why did the Hortons step in to protect them!

James asked, "Uncle Keaton, what should

should we do? Are we just going to let it go? They didn't lose anyone, but we lost quite a few.

Keaton flicked the ash from his cigarette and said, "Of course we cant just let it go. As you mentioned, we lost some friends, and we're the victims here. How can we simply move on? Let them rot in prison! In there, everything goes according to your word right? "Well show respect to the Horton family by sparing the lives of the Larsons, but if they end up getting themselves killed in prison, whether by escaping or fighting, that's no longer our concer

At the hospital curae. Layla was on her way home to take dusser, shriving her car slowly out of the parking lot. She had been exhausted revently, yet the one bit of good news today was that Henry had woken up
