Chapter 771 - I Entrust Her to You

"I'm glad..." Owen stuttered, his voice strained, as he coughed up another mouthful of blood.

He was attempting to convey what he had longed to tell Yves for a while. "For the first time in my life... someone actually showed me... what it meant to be... free..."

The words got stuck in his throat as memories from his past resurfaced in his mind.

Owen was reminded of his origins and the harsh life he had endured as an orphaned boy, subjected to a lifelong servitude under the Heisenberg Family.

The bond he had formed with Yves and the taste of freedom they had shared was a stark contrast to the life he had known for so long.

Never in his life had Owen crossed paths with someone who would openly defy Tristan and the overwhelming dominion of the Heisenberg Family.

The mere specter of their power was often enough to extinguish even the faintest spark of rebellion before it could ignite.
