Renee let go of Justin''s arm in satisfaction. "That''s more like it."


    Justin rubbed his sore arm andined, "You''re still as violent as ever, Phoenix." "Do you want


    more?”


    Justin immediately became humble and pitiful again. "No, please stop. I''m just saying that despite how


    much time has passed, our rtionship is still the same." Back then, Justin would surely get hurt


    whenever they met. His arms would almost be broken, or he would have to suffer a few punches. His


    feelings would be hurt too. However, despite everything... he quite liked that kind of feeling. He was


    probably a masochist.

    "Well, I might not be as strong as before, but it''s more than enough to deal with a boy like you," Renee


    said confidently.


    Justin scowled at her. "Can you stop calling me that? I''m not a boy." "You''re not?" "I’m most certainly


    not, thank you very much." "But you''re younger than me." "Fine, I can''t deny that." Justin seemed to


    enjoy their banter, and didn''t argue anymore after that.


    "Okay, cut the crap and tell me what happened. It''s very important to me," Renee seriously asked


    Justin. She didn''t know where Stefan was, or if he was even alive. She had to try her best to get


    whatever information she could about him.


    "I can''t keep it from you." Justin and Renee went to the lounge area and sat down. While making tea


    for Renee, he said, "It''s a long story. I don''t know much about it, but it''s always been my grandpa and


    the old man from the Hunt family who control the rtionship between the two families. If they want to


    fight, we''ll be enemies... buttely, the two old men seem to have wavered. My mom said my grandpa


    had been writing a lot of letterstely, and he''s actually been sending them to Hunt Manor!” He walked


    over to Renee and handed her a cup of tea, which she epted.


    "So, you''re saying that the two old men have made peace and the families have stopped fighting?" "I


    don''t know if they''ve made peace or not, but they''ve definitely stopped fighting for now." Justin sipped


    his tea and answered honestly, "Osk Casino is my way of figuring things out. It wasn’t under me initially


    —it belonged to a big shot from Wiwell. However, something happened to him, and he wanted to sell


    this casino. The casino was making money, so many people tried to buy it. I had time, so I joined their


    competition. Back then, the Hunt family would stop my family from doing such a thing in Beach City, but


    they didn''t stop us, and even helped US. So, I guess... my family might have made peace with them."


    Justin smiled. "After all, the issue concerns the older generation, so I don''t dare toment or ask


    about it." 2 After a brief contemtion, Renee said determinedly, "But I do!"
