Sabine froze for a moment. Then, her face turned ugly as she pulled Dennis and said.
"Little Jun, don't be arrogant. The current Donghae City is now different from what it used to be. To put it bluntly, people like us are worse than a suffering dog."
During these days, Sabine suffered a lot.
Since that incident happened ten years ago, Sabine has been hiding in Tibet in a dilemma.
A few years ago, she felt everything was safe, so Sabine secretly returned to the house to look. The house has become a scenic spot, so even if tourists were on weekdays, they just visited outside. No one would come in.
Sabine would come over to clean it every once in a while. During the New Year celebration, she would decorate the mansion. There was a memorial altar for the Buchanan patriarch ad matriarch in the house, and she paid homage to it occasionally.
As a result, Sabine's action was discovered a few months ago.
The authority imprisoned her in the dog cage and put a few dogs outside so she couldn't escape.
From time to time, someone came to offer her some leftovers.
When the person was in a good mood, he threw the steamed bun leftovers into the cage and let Sabine have a full meal.
The person threw it outside when he was in a bad mood, and Sabine had to fight the dog for something to eat.
Sabine's hands were covered with scratches and blood marks. For several months, she lived a life that was worse than death.
Those people neither killed nor let her go. They just wanted to torture her like this.
Dennis supported Sabine. His expression became much calmer, but the more relaxed he was, the deeper the anger.
Entering the room, what greeted the eyes was a mess. It was messy, like someone had robbed the Buchanan residence.
Dennis helped Sabine into a room, made the bed, and asked Sabine to lie down.
She held her wrist with her left hand and checked her pulse with three fingers of her right hand.
"Dennis, you..."
Sabine was a little surprised by Dennis's professional pulse diagnosis.
"Where have you been all these years? How did you survive?"
Eighteen members of the Buchanan were murdered back then, and if Sabine hadn't happened to take Dennis out, the two of them would not have been spared.
Later, when those people learned that Dennis was not dead, they started chasing and killing him frantically.
The two got separated during their escape, and Sabine fled back and forth to her hometown in the countryside to escape for several years, but Dennis was nowhere to be found. For so many years, she always thought that he was also murdered.
Dennis replied, "Back then, I was rescued by the lady of the Cooper and escaped for a while. Later, I left Donghae City and met an expert without contact with the outside world. I went up the mountain with him and studied art for ten years."
Dennis's words were simple, and his tone and expression were casual.
But Sabine knew that Dennis must have suffered a lot.
Soon, Dennis raised his wrist.
"Don't worry, Sabine. You are in good health. It's just that you have suffered a little bit in the past few months. In addition, you have been bitten by those vicious dogs, and your body has some inflammation. I will prescribe a prescription to recuperate first and give it to you in a few days." With scraping and acupuncture, there is no problem."
Sabine nodded dully. She really couldn't imagine how much hard work Dennis who was well-clothed and well-fed back then, had to endure to learn medical skills.
Dennis bought some food for Sabine outside. She was ill and should not eat heaty or greasy food. Hence, he made risotto and eggs and boiled traditional herbal medicine for her.
"Sabine, tell me now. Who trapped you here?"
Dennis seemed to ask casually, but his tone still carried uncontrollable anger.
Eighteen family members were wiped out, and Dennis had few relatives left. He must pay back a hundred times for such abuse.
Sabine held Dennis's hand with a look of worry in her eyes.
"Mr. Buchanab, don't go! You can't beat them!"
Dennis smiled faintly and responded, "Don't worry, Sabine. I have my way."
No one could doubt Dennis's words.
Sabine hesitated momentarily and said, "It's the Harris..."
Dennis frowned.
"The Harris? Isn't that my mother's natal family? After all, the two families are considered married. Even if the Harris is unwilling to help, it shouldn't be worse."
Sabine sighed. "Mr. Buchanan, since your grandfather passed away, your second grandfather has inherited the position of head of the Harris family. Over the years, Harris tried to eliminate the connection with Buchanan. To show it to outsiders, the former relatives are now like enemies."
Dennis clenched his fist slightly.
Even though the second grandfather had no blood relationship with the Buchanan, they were all in-laws. The Buchanan had been so miserable, and it was hateful they still made trouble like this.
However, now that Dennis was back, all of this would change.
Since the Harris didn't regard Buchanan as relatives, Dennis decided not to treat them humanely.
"Okay, I see. Sabine, you should go to bed earlier."
Dennis covered Sabine with a quilt and closed the door.
He took a sharp knife from his bag and slaughtered the three vicious dogs in the yard.
...
At this time, the Harris was enjoying themselves.
"Brother, today is your birthday. I originally wanted to celebrate it at a restaurant, but thinking about it, we are also a big family, so it would be more grand to hold a banquet at home."
The person who spoke was the third child of the Harris family. According to her seniority, she should be Dennis's third aunt.
Most of the people present here were Dennis's aunts and uncles.
Since Albert became the patriarch of the Harris family, his eldest son Harris's status had been in full swing, and he would be the future patriarch of the Harris family.
The vast courtyard of the Harris family was full of guests at this time, and they came here today to celebrate Cole's birthday.
"Mr. Harris, your family status in Donghae City is now rising, and there is a chance to become one of the four major families in the future. Am I right?"
"Haha, it goes without saying that Mr. Harris is wise and powerful. He has developed better in the past few years. It should be fast for his family to join the four major families."
"Didn't you see one of the four major families has been vacant? That's reserved for the Harris!"
The four prominent families in Donghae City were Buchanan, Reid, Hammond, and Fox.
However, Buchanan had been wiped out.
The family members were murdered, and there was always a vacant position among the four prominent families. Many families vied for this position, and Harris was naturally the most competitive.
As the mainstay of Harris, Cole was in his prime, and his career was developing very well. After he became the head of the family, Harris would likely become one of the four prominent families.
However, because the Harris family was married to the Buchanan family back then, this nepotism greatly influenced them.
That was why Harris disregarded the marriage relationship back then and severely suppressed the Buchanan. Even if it were only a nanny, Harris would despise her.
Let the other three families see their performance and let the world know that the Harris had nothing to do with the Buchanan back then.
Cole raised his wine glass but didn't get up.
"Today is my birthday. I appreciate your kindness. Don't be too polite. You should drink a few more glasses."
Cole took a sip and raised his glass.
He made a toast, which was to give the guests respect. Naturally, everyone followed suit, stood up individually, and drank it respectfully.
When it was bustling, suddenly, a bodyguard came in at the door and said, "Mr. Harris, there's a person who came to the door, carrying things, as if he was here to celebrate your birthday, but his clothes are worn out. He doesn't look like a person from the upper clique."
Ordinary people were naturally not qualified to come to Cole's banquet.
However, Cole said, "It's okay, even if it's a beggar, just say something optimistic to me. Then, offer him some food and ask him to leave."
"All right!."
The bodyguard was about to leave when the shabby young man he was talking about had already walked in.
Dennis stood at the door indifferently, looking at the bustling guests inside, he said in a cold voice.
"Cole, get over here."
