Chapter 299 Farewell
The next morning. Osborne gently pressed a kiss on Austin’s forehend, stirring her from sleep.
Austin blinked awake, her eyelids heavy with exhaustion, but as the realization hit her that Osborne was about to leave, she sprang up, wrapping her arms tightly around his neck.
Austin inhaled deeply, as if trying to memorize his scent.
“Austin, you really should get some more rest. I’m just heading to Dampston, not disappearing forever,” Osborne reassured her, patting her back soothingly.
But Austin bit her lip, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. “Osborne, I’m going to miss you! I’ll find a way to visit you in Dampston.”
“Yeah, I’d like that!” Osbome replied with a warm smile but then suddenly smacked his forehead.
“Almost forgot. I have something for you!”
He reached into his Dimensional Space and pulled out a beautifully crafted wooden box.
When Austin saw the Divine Favor Crown nestled inside, she froze, her hand flying to her mouth as tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably.
Memories flooded back to her of that day at Wesley and Ophelia’s wedding, when Osborne had placed the Crown of Fate on Clarissa’s head.
She had watched from the crowd, envy twisting her heart.
But now, here was Osborne, gifting her a crown that was just as magnificent.
“What’s its name?” Austin asked, her voice trembling-
Osborne replied with a grin, “It’s called Divine Favor
“Divine Favor Crown! I may not be by your side, but I hope the divine will look after you, keeping you safe and healthy.”
“Divine Favor?”
Tears flowed more freely from Austin’s eyes as she clung to him, unwilling to let go.
After what felt like an eternity, she finally wiped her tears away. “Osborne, you have to put it on
“Alright!”
Without hesitation, Osbonse carefully placed the Divine Favor Crown on her head.
As
the crown settled, Austin transformed into a radiant vision sparkling with beauty.
Osborne couldn’t help but stare, mesmerized.
With a blush creeping across her cheeks, Austin looked at him and said, “Osborne, could you delay your departure by just an hour? 1… I want to have one more time with you. I want to wear the Divine Favor Crown while we’re doing it. Is that okay?”
Osborne’s eyes widened in surprise.
As he looked at her flushed face, his heart raced.
“No man can refuse such a request!”
With that, he lunged at her once more,
An hour later, Austin, adorned with the Divine Favor Crown, finally succumbed to sleep, utterly exhausted.
Meanwhile, Osborne was still buzzing with energy.

Ever since absorbing the unique power of the blood diamond, his physical stamina had become almost superhuman. He felt like he could run a marathon without breaking a sweat.
Osborne tucked Austin in, making sure she was comfortable, before stepping out of the room.
“Time to hit the road!” he muttered to himself.
As he left the villa and got into his car, he didn’t head straight for Dampston’s Pinchide City. Instead, he took a leisurely drive around Mayby City, soaking in the scenery outside his window.
Mayby City wasn
ity wasn’t his hometown, but he had spent over seven years here going to college, marrying Ophelia, and later, after the divorce, encountering both Clarissa and Austin.
Osborne had made memories with Ian, Alison, Zoe, and even Evelyn.
There was so much history tied to this place, and he didn’t know when he’d be back. So he wanted to savor every last moment.
Lost in thought, Oshome found himself outside the Caldwell Manor.
When he realized where he was, he frowned slightly.
But since he was already there, Osborne didn’t dwell on it. He simply drove past the manor, ready to exit the city and head to Dampston.
Just then, an unexpected turn of events occurred.
A thunderous roar filled the air as several helicopters appeared overhead, flying low before swiftly descending onto the open ground in front of the Caldwell Manor.
From the helicopters, a group of people quickly disembarked and ran towards the road, stopping Osborne’s car in its tracks.
Osborne’s face hardened, with his senses on high alert.
He thought, “Who could this be? Six helicopters? Only an ancient family would have the resources for such an operation. Who’s trying to take me down?”
He o
opened the car door and stepped out, his gaze fixed on the emblem on the helicopters – a howling gray wolf.
Osborne didn’t recognize it.
From what he knew, none of Skyefall’s ancient families bore such a crest

the attention o
of the Caldwell family members nearby. Several of them came out, curious about the disturbance.
Even Ophelia and Evelyn appeared, their expressions shifting to surprise when they saw Osborne surrounded in the middle of the street.
Ignoring them, Osborne focused intently on the man descending from the helicopters.
The man, in his mid–forties to early fifties, exuded an air of authority.
His face was stern, marking him as someone used to wielding power, though his eyes betrayed a sense of exhaustion.
As the man locked eyes with Osborne, a spark of recognition and excitensent flashed across his face.
He raised his hand, and immediately, dozens of burly men rushed to Osborne’s side.
The middle aged man commanded. “Greet!”
