The Returning Heir from the Darkness

Ruin

Lynne patted Damian’s back. The woman then hugged her husband’s body. “It’s okay Damian, I will contact my friend who works at the Imperial Sage Group to help you get a part in the project.”

Damian smiled slightly, he rubbed his adorable little wife’s head. “Thank you, my best wife.”

“I’m sorry, my family has caused you a lot of trouble.” Lynne lowered her head sadly, she played with the corner of her husband’s clothes gloomily. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s not my fault. If I get the cooperation, can you come to the Lawrence family to prove it to them? There’s something important I have to do tomorrow.” Damian smiled, he kissed his wife’s face, kissed the woman lovingly.

Lynne looked up, she nodded. “Just leave it to me, husband! I am a reliable wife.”

Damian smiled again, the man hugged his wife and pulled the woman to bed. “It’s late, it’s time for my little bunny to sleep.”

“What is a little bunny?” Lynne snorted in annoyance, but the woman remained obedient. She closed her eyes, making herself comfortable in her husband’s warm embrace. “Good night Damian.”

“Good night honey.” Damian kissed the woman’s forehead. Staring at his wife’s face which was so beautiful even when she was asleep.

After making sure that Lynne had really fallen asleep through the sound of her steady breathing, Damian immediately got up. He walked towards his office which was in the corner of the house. The man took out his cellphone, intending to call someone. Less than 5 seconds later, the call was immediately connected. “What, is there anything I can help you with, Mr. Damian?”

“Are you still the highest shareholder in the Imperial Sage Group? Are you still the chairman?” Damian asked straight to the point.

The voice on the other end of the phone immediately replied hurriedly. “Yes, yes, I am still the leader of the Imperial Sage Group. Is there anything I can help you with, sir? None of my subordinates have offended you, right?” The voice belonged to a man who was hoarse and sounded very careful.

Damian snorted, he took out a cigarette, opened the window, and blew the smoke out. “My wife wants me to be part of your new project in the capital.”

“Of course, of course, sir, we will be happy to give you a position in that project.”

“No need to be excessive, just accept the recommendation from my wife’s acquaintance. My aide will send the details later. Don’t give me a position that is too conspicuous.” Damian replied casually as he exhaled his cigarette smoke again.

“Of course, of course, I will be happy to grant Mr. Damian’s wishes. Is there anything else I need to do, sir?”

“Nothing.” Damian stubbed out the end of his cigarette, immediately throwing it out the window. The man wordlessly hung up the phone. He then sniffed the smell on his body. “I shouldn’t have smoked. Lynne might hate the smell of cigarettes.”

It was a cloudy morning. Damian intended to visit the family grave and see the ruins of the Anderson mansion. However, on the way, a subordinate stopped him. Damian frowned, as he remembered, he had ordered this subordinate to return to the border. “What’s wrong?”

“General.” The subordinate gave a respectful gesture. “I have conveyed the general’s order to return to the military location on the border.”

“Good. Thank you.” Damian nodded, patting his subordinate’s shoulder. “So, why are you still here?”

The subordinate immediately knelt down, bowing respectfully. “Let me be here to accompany the general to take revenge. Forgive this subordinate if I dare to ask something of the general.”

Damian fell silent. “Stand up.” The man pulled his subordinate so that he was no longer kneeling. “Alright, you can stay. You can join Rolan to conduct an investigation.”

“Thank you, general.” The subordinate nodded solemnly.

“Follow me.” Damian immediately continued his delayed steps. Not long after, the two of them arrived at the ruins of the Anderson mansion which looked pathetic. The man stared at the building that was no longer in shape. He wanted to fix the mansion immediately but the time was not right. Those people would definitely be suspicious if the mansion was suddenly repaired. Let Damian complete his revenge and the mansion would definitely stand firmly as before.

The man walked slowly, looking around. The condition of this place was so pathetic. Who would have thought that this place used to be the residence of the largest family that almost controlled the entire economy of this country.

Not long after, the rain slowly fell, getting heavier and heavier. The man went to the back of the mansion where the Anderson family members were buried. Damian knelt down, he looked at the heirlooms belonging to his mother and father. The grave was well managed, unlike the ruins of the mansion that still looked destroyed.

“Father, mother, I’m back.” Damian said, almost whispering. His voice was even muffled by the sound of the heavy rain.

Old memories immediately invaded Damian’s memory. The man remembered that he once had a stepmother, Madame Teresa from the Sterling family. Ah, that family is very powerful now, maybe its influence is now almost equal to Anderson’s.

The marriage of Mr. Anderson and Madame Teresa was the result of an arranged marriage. They married at such a young age. There was no love, happiness, and even offspring.

A few years later, Mr. Anderson brought Damian’s mother home, making her to be his second wife. The marriage was very happy, and Damian was born in the love of both his parents.

Everything was fine until one day Madame Teresa exploded. The woman accused the Anderson family of tax evasion and misappropriation of public funds. She was also the person who poisoned Mr. Anderson and claimed that her husband’s death was a suicide attempt to escape p*****t for his heinous actions.

As if not satisfied, Madame Teresa even formed a coalition with 4 large families in the capital to trick the family elders into handing over the heirloom belonging to the Anderson family. An expressionist painting, a legend of the art world, the greatest work of the legendary painter Stephen Yovie who died two centuries ago. Damian did not know the details of the fraud, but he was determined to dig deeper into it in the future.

After the painting was transferred, the magnificent Anderson mansion was immediately burned down without giving the people inside a chance to live. Those people even seized the remaining assets of Anderson, dividing them equally. It was disgusting just to think about it.

“My family died just because of a crazy woman and a dead object.” Damian laughed sarcastically. The man couldn’t hold back his tears. Luckily it was raining right now and even his subordinates wouldn’t realize that Damian was crying. “The Sterling family, they might as well die early.”

“I got information that there will be a birthday celebration for the Sterling family leader. They are also celebrating the cooperation between the Imperial Sage Group and the Global Pinnacle Group.” The subordinate who had been silent all this time finally spoke up.

Damian glanced at him, the man then chuckled softly. “It seems like it would be good if I send a gift to that old man.”

“I will accept your orders, general.”

“Prepare the coffin, choose the most beautiful and shiny one. It’s time for the old man to dig his own grave.”
