Last Man Standing by Eternal Life

Chapter 31 

A young man with twinkling eyes was sitting in the center of the garden–it was none other than Howard. Yoel and the Judge stood on either side of him. After a simple disguise, Howard looked entirely different. He had no intention of letting Mendorra’s people know he was back, deciding to settle things after ensuring Talia and Riley’s safety. 

Apart from the three, ten well-dressed men with stern expressions guarded the garden from all directions. 

Sean, visibly nervous, finally mustered the courage, saying, “W-Who are you? I’m from the Austin family in Mendorra. Touch me, and the 

ly will make sure you regret it!” 

ignored Sean’s outburst and casually swirled the wine in his glass before taking a sip. “Gentlemen, do you recall that night five years ago?” 

Confused, Sean and the others frowned, attempting to recall the past. 

“W-What do you mean?” Sean asked while the others began to recall. 

“Don’t remember?” Howard said, “It’s understandable. With all the 

despicable acts you’ve committed, it’s hard to keep track of every detail.” 

“Allow me to jog your memory. Remember Eunice Ziegler?” The three widened their eyes upon hearing the name, a flicker of panic crossing their faces. They certainly remembered Eunice vividly! 

Five years ago, that night was extraordinary. However, their only disappointment was that Eunice had jumped into the river and ended her life. They had hoped to keep her around for a bit longer!

“Who are you?” Sean asked, his curiosity mingled with worry Why would someone come seeking revenge for Eunice? Could they be remnants of the Ziegler family? That was impossible! After all, they were supposed to be wiped out completely five years ago. 

“Someone who wants you dead,” Howard responded, his expression unchanged. “Scared?” 

“W-Would you dare kill us?” Sean snarled, his anger obvious. “Many people saw you bringing here, and my family is probably on their way!” 

“If you act recklessly, my dad will personally make you suffer!” Tristan chimed in. 

“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you,” Howard said as he blew out a smoke ring. “I’ll let your elders personally escort you to the afterlife.” 

fore long, the urgent sound of footsteps echoed through the air. on after, the heads of the three families, each accompanied by more than twenty people, rushed out of the hotel. Leading the group was Vonn, the second in command of the Austin family. 

“Uncle Vonn, save me!” Sean shouted. 

“Dad, save me!” The two other men echoed. 

“You bastard! Who do you think you are? How dare you act this way against members of the Austin family! Do you have a death wish?” Vonn yelled sternly. 

“Uncle Vonn, he’s here for revenge on behalf of that bitch Eunice!” Sean yelled. “You need to have him killed; I insist on his death!” 

Upon hearing that, Vonn was momentarily taken aback, then turned his attention back to Howard. “Are you a remnant of the Ziegler family?” 

The other two family heads looked equally surprised as they looked

every member of the Ziegler family, but none matched the person standing before them. 

“Five years ago, the Ziegler family’s heiress was ridiculed by the young heirs of your three families, and then she took her own life by jumping into the river,” Howard continued without responding directly to Vonn. “Now, gentlemen, how should these three meet their end?” 

“That bitch brought it upon herself; it has nothing to do with my son and his friends!” The head of the Francis family, Connor Francis, took a step forward, pointing at Howard. 

A chilling intent instantly emanated from Howard, his eyes narrowing into a focused glare.
