Chapter 447: When A Kid Saw His Parents Dying
"Colin Hartz, you have always been jealous of my father and obsessed with his status ever since you two were young," Aaron began, his voice cold, ready to sink each word he said into Colin’s mind. "He was the son of the most powerful mafia lord, while you were the son of a businessman. You could never accept the fact that the son of a mafia lord was excellent in everything—business, fights, planning and plotting—and he even got more attention than you.
"Every powerful person not just in the eastern country but even on foreign lands had started to recognize his excellence. But you—your jealousy turned into an obsession with taking him down and taking his place as the next powerful person. You were not satisfied being just a businessman; you wanted to rule over the mafia world as well.
"But then, even after he was gone, here you are, begging in front of his son. How pitiful. You went nowhere closer to your dream, Colin Hartz. You were always a failure and will always remain that."
As Colin heard it, each and every word felt like it pierced his heart. The pain from the past started to grip him.
Alexander Riverdale was everything he could never become.
Aaron observed his expressions and said, "Seems like you finally recalled the past."
"I agree I hated your father, but that didn’t mean I killed him," Colin said. "Do you think I would dare provoke Aeldric Riverdale by killing his sons and grandsons? Wouldn’t he know I did it? Why would he agree to marry my daughter into your family? I’m sure you are mistaken."
Aaron chuckled. "That old man is blinded by his powers to see anything clearly. But don’t worry—now that his power is gone, he’ll clearly see everything and might want to kill you with his own hands."
Colin felt speechless. Though Aeldric Riverdale was old, that very person was feared by everyone. He would surely kill him and his family.
