Chapter 276 You're the Real Power Here

• "Austin, Austin, you really are a dark horse! Federick isn't the real power here, is he? To you, he must be as insignificant as a bug in the dirt!" Will knew he was taking a shot in the dark with his bold speculation, but he was very certain that only one member of the Brigham family was worthy to receive such a high honor; that would be Austin.
• Of all the Brighams, Austin was the only one who would not trumpet his exploits to the world. He kept his affairs low-key and quietly went about his business. It was truly unfortunate that the entire Brigham clan refused to acknowledge the hero in their midst. Not only that, they insisted on treating Austin like trash, to the point where they were determined to disown him and have nothing more to do with him.
• A multitude of emotions assailed Will. In the past, Leah had constantly told him that Austin's military ID was a forgery; naturally, his first impression of Austin was that the lad was a ne'er-do-well with hardly any accomplishments whatsoever.
