Chapter 2204: Rupert's Conscience is Gone

Around noon... In a relatively remote suburb, the abandoned factory was desolate, with weeds growing all around. Rupert, who had been hungry and thirsty all night, was still tied to that pillar. No one cared about his life or death, as if he had been abandoned. He looked extremely weak, his stomach growling with hunger. He couldn't find a comfortable position; his whole body was numb, blood circulation was poor, and his head felt dizzy.

The scorching sun shone directly down; there were no windows installed here. The sunlight beamed harshly on him, making him feel inexplicably irritable. The surroundings were exceptionally quiet, and Ruper was enveloped in fear, his heart far from calm.

He closed his eyes and leaned against the pillar, waiting for death with a heart full of despair. Memories of his parents' sacrifices over the years and the first girl who entered his heart, Summer, flashed through his mind. They now seemed so distant, as if they belonged to another century. He wondered if he would ever see them again in this lifetime.

Rupert knew very well that he owed the most to his parents. They had sacrificed a lot for him, worked hard to save money to send him abroad for studies, and lived frugally their whole lives to buy him a marital home. As he thought about it, tears of regret rolled down his cheeks. At this moment, he felt genuine remorse.
