When Vincent heard that the dying man kept addressing him as his father, he could not help but feel heartbroken.
He bent over and called out. "Son, go ahead and speak your mind. If you need money, as long as I have it, I will save your life."
The man shook his head and was suddenly covered in tears. He wiped off his tears and told Vincen, "Dad, somebody...somebody is trying to kill all of you. That person...that person is very powerful. I don't know why they have their eyes on your family.
However, that person...knew about your matter from thirty years ago like the back of his hand. That person was able to .find us. That's enough to prove that he certainly has great power over a wide territory. Also, I feel... I feel that person certainly has been planning for a very long time. Dad, I am sorry to have failed you. There's nothing much I can do to help you. For that tiny bit of money, I betrayed you. I am already regretting it very much. Also, I will never have the chance to make it up to you again in this life. The only thing I can tell you is to never, ever underestimate them, Dad..."

Marcus nodded apologetically. "Mister
Yates, I know who this man is referring to. It is my family, the Shaw family, who is in the wrong. I will certainly have a conversation with my three brothers later. I'm sorry, Mister Yates."
Vincent sighed. "Forget it. As long as the four of you Shaw brothers could get along with each other, it’s no big deal for us to suffer a little."
The Yates family was an understanding family, after all. Vincent knew that no matter what trouble the three Shaw brothers created, they were still Marcus' brothers and Oliver and his wife’s sons. Oliver and his were very good to Yvonne. Marcus and Yvonne's relationship was also incomparably harmonious. Just because of all these, it was also impossible for Vincent to put Marcus' three brothers in a difficult position.
After that, he looked at the patient on the bed and asked, "Mister Yates, this person is
Marcus heard the man on the bed call Vincent his father. He also knew the relationship between Vincent and the man. Marcus was thinking that if there was anything that the man needed, he was willing to pay to treat the man.
Vincent knew Marcus' intentions. He shook his head. "It's useless. He is already too ill. It was completely because someone had let him consume an overdose of those substances that he was able to come to the
place near our house and steal from us.
That had led to him being overly energetic, which gave him enough strength. Now that he has finished up his strength, his life is practically at its end."
