Winner Takes All Chapter 156
When Aldus and Raquel heard the familiar voice, their eyes lit up.The hook-nosed man and the dozen men turned around in shock at the same time, looking in the direction of the voice.In his suit, Austin slowly walked toward them from afar.His expression was cold, and his gaze was stern.He walked right past the crowd as his gaze fell upon Aldus and Raquel, who were lying awkwardly on the pile of sand.Fury gradually welled within him."M-Mr. Campbell…"The hook-nosed man rubbed his palms together as he put on a pleasing smile.He walked toward Austin, saying, "I'm the vice manager of this construction site. My name is Magnus Pearson, and I'm Reginald Pearson's cousin—""Hah!"Austin sneered in disdain. He breezed right past Magnus, ignoring the dozens of men as he walked up to Aldus and Raquel.After crouching down, he didn't ask them what exactly happened.Instead, he looked exasperatedly at Aldus, who was covered in blood and injuries.He complained, "Look at you. You'

Magnus and the others felt their throats tightening up when they heard Austin's cold voice.How could a lone man be brave enough to provoke a dozen men?He must be joking!"Fighters in suits, huh? Alright, since you don't plan on playing nice, I'm going hard on you too!"Magnus' expression was ferocious. Gritting his teeth, he waved his hand. "Beat him up! I'll take responsibility for the consequences!"In that instant, the dozen men dashed up to Austin with the shovels in their hands.Meanwhile, Magnus retreated to the back of the crowd.Austin sneered. There was a cold gleam in his eyes as he rushed toward Magnus, who was backing away.He wasn't someone who was easily bullied. He had tolerated the Welches for three years because he loved Nancy.But out there, if he was still a man prone to getting bullied, he wouldn't have become the vice president of Dominion in a mere three years.Thanks to the spartan training he had a while back, Austin's physique was far superior to th

"Mr. Campbell…"Raquel went pale in the face.She had never seen this side of Austin, but she felt fearful.Those were a dozen merciless men who were also armed. Even if she was in her prime before she retired from the military, she wouldn't dare to tackle that situation!"He'll be fine. Now go."A deep voice sounded in Raquel's ears.Before Raquel came to her senses, she felt a large hand taking her left hand."Aldus…"Raquel gazed at Aldus, stunned. She was in a daze as she followed Aldus outside.The two weren't too fast, and they followed Austin closely.Some people tried to go around Austin to attack Raquel and Aldus, but Austin blocked all of them and defeated them without exception!The fierce fight soon caught the attention of the workers at the construction site, and they gathered around to watch.When the workers saw Austin sweep through a dozen men alone, they were so shocked that their jaws dropped.Was this something a human being could do?Magnus got his pos

At Legacy Hospital, Aldus was sent to the emergency room.The doctor had also dressed Austin's and Raquel's wounds.Then, Austin and Raquel sat outside the emergency room.Raquel was extremely worried, and her expression betrayed her feelings.Meanwhile, Austin closed his eyes as he sat there, his left hand gently fiddling with the gauze wrapped around his right fingers.After a half-hour wait, Aldus was finally brought out.Raquel was relieved when she saw that, and she let out a long sigh.Austin also stopped fiddling with the gauze as he opened his eyes.After settling Aldus in the ward, Austin left some instructions before turning around and leaving.Throughout the process, he never once asked about the details at the construction site."I'm fine. Please tell sir everything." Smiling, Aldus comforted the startled Raquel.He knew that Raquel was worried that Austin might fire her because of what happened that day.With Raquel's current situation, she couldn't afford to l

Rubbing his nose, Austin busied himself with work.Since Reginald had asked to meet him, of course, he would be there. His suit was ruined because of the fight, so he had to ask Reginald to compensate for it.As for the other aspects, he wasn't worried about them.Even though Dominion was at the height of its power right now, there was indeed a slight gap between Dominion and Regal Properties.However, it was only a matter of time before Dominion surpassed Regal.If Austin was truly worried about it, he wouldn't have taken action right away at the construction site of Horizon Haven.As for the scheme tonight, Austin had already made preparations to deal with Reginald's tactics.If someone dared to mess with his people, he would destroy them no matter who they were!Not long after that, Jacob's call came in.Austin smiled as he answered the call."Do you need help, Austin?"As soon as the call went through, Jacob skipped the formalities and went straight to the point."You h

Night had fallen, and the city lights were turning on.By the time Austin hurried to Collis Hotel, the parking lot was already filled with luxury cars.With guidance from the waiter, Austin arrived at Vista Room.Two young and burly men in suits and sunglasses stood watch at the entrance of Vista Room.When they saw Austin, they immediately turned around and opened the door to the room.Piano music reached Austin's ears.Rubbing his nose, Austin smiled and said, "The Black Mass Sonata?"The spacious Vista Room felt like another world, for there was a flowing fountain amid rockery. Mist permeated the room.There was even the faint scent of sandalwood in the air.The atmosphere was elegant and exotic.In front of the large table, a bald middle-aged man in a suit and sunglasses was calmly sitting on the main seat.Two young men in the same outfits were standing behind him.Austin looked at the bald middle-aged man. Then, he suddenly laughed. "Mr. Pearson, don't you think that

Reginald only managed to come this far because of his cruel and merciless methods.He had used countless shady tactics in all those years of his constant fights with Jacob.At least to Reginald, Jacob was the only person who could compete with him in the real estate industry of this city!But this time, Austin had popped out from nowhere and caused such a ruckus at his construction site.This was a direct confrontation!Even Jacob wouldn't dare to do that!Austin suddenly raised his right hand, stopping Reginald."Mr. Pearson, I'm sorry for breaking your cousin's leg, but the blood from him and your subordinates soiled my suit. Shouldn't you compensate me for that first?"His voice was calm as if he truly cared about that suit.Reginald was a little stunned.Austin was being too arrogant!After a short pause, Reginald suddenly laughed.Then, he lifted his hands and clapped thrice.In an instant, the young men standing behind Reginald and at the entrance gathered around Aus

"I-I'll pay… Stop. Just stop it…"Reginald was trembling all over, and he was drenched in sweat as he roared in pain.He was seriously scared now.He was terrified at Austin's cruelty and decisiveness.He had no doubts that if he kept being stubborn, Austin might do something even more outrageous.Austin was crazy!"This wouldn't have happened if you had compensated me sooner." Austin sneered.Then, he removed the knife from Reginald's thigh.Reginald screamed in distress, and his pained cries were heard. "W-Why the hell did you take it out?""Well, I'll just put it back in."Reginald's body turned stiff as he stared dumbfoundedly at the small knife, which had returned to its previous place in his thigh.The fighters were all stunned at the sight.This was inhumane!Austin calmly wiped his bloody hands on Reginald's suit.Then, he said calmly, "Mr. Pearson, I'm not here just to get compensation for my suit. I also have something else to tell you. Raquel is under me, so ke

Austin never expected that Nancy would come back.As he returned to the Tetra Club, he remained sullen, his eyes dark with unresolved anger.Seeing Austin like this, Cecily felt a pang of sadness.She gently tried to comfort him, "It's all in the past now, isn't it? I'm here with you, and we have our baby on the way.""I can't just let it go," Austin shook his head."The best I can do is not seek revenge against them, but to truly forgive and forget—I can't do that."The actions of Nancy's family were still fresh in his memory.Austin wasn't someone who sought revenge for every slight, but he was far from the kind of person who could simply forgive and forget, moving on with a carefree "Hallelujah."Dahlia's despair as she lay in bed, the arrogance and cruelty of the Welch family…In the eyes of the Welch family, Dahlia's life wasn't worth as much as Harvey's wedding.Even when the time had passed and he was about to finally be happy with Cecily, the Welch family not only dem

After leaving this city, Nancy put in a tremendous amount of effort to "rebirth" herself.Meeting Ethan had shown her a different side of life.While he wasn't part of the uppermost echelons of wealth and power, he had enough. Most importantly, he treated her with the utmost respect.She understood Ethan's background, which made that respect all the more valuable.A man of his stature could have any woman he wanted in his bed the same night.Yet Ethan had shown her incredible patience, making her question whether the rumors about him were true.Tonight, returning to this city was her way of bidding farewell to the past and embracing the future.After all, people need to look forward, don't they?Meanwhile, Ethan was feeling more dejected than he'd ever been.Lying in his luxurious bed in Brook Villa, he couldn't sleep, tossing and turning restlessly.He had hoped to establish a connection with Austin. A figure like him would be incredibly valuable to have on his side.He tho

The river breeze was cool, and the lights reflected on the water flickered softly.The figure in front of them wore a long black coat, standing quietly by the railing. Her fair, delicate profile, partially obscured by a few strands of windblown hair, carried a hint of melancholy."Sir, Mrs. Campbell, is something wrong?" Aldus noticed the change and quickly stepped forward to inquire."Let's go home," Austin suddenly said, his previously cheerful expression now somber, with a touch of disdain.Go home? They had just arrived.Aldus was surprised and quickly followed Austin's gaze. When he saw what Austin was looking at, he immediately understood.Without a word, he turned to leave with Austin.But a soft hand gently grabbed Austin's arm."It's been so many years, aren't you going to say hello?" Cecily asked."I have no desire to greet her," Austin said, his disdain clear and unhidden.Three years of marriage, filled with nothing but pain.Even when Dahlia was gravely ill, Nan

After a busy day, just as Austin was about to finish up, a new invitation appeared on his desk."Who delivered this?" Austin asked."Ethan," Wolf replied.Austin chuckled, didn't bother opening the invitation, and instead tossed it directly into the trash."I've got to get home to Cecily."When he returned to the Bamboo Parlor at Tetra Club, Raquel had already prepared a delicious dinner.The dishes were beautifully presented, with vibrant colors and enticing aromas.After dinner, Austin and Ezra stepped out into the courtyard."Mr. Lockwood, any news from the Campbells about my dad?" Austin asked, the text message from Walter still weighing heavily on his mind.Considering the Campbells' efforts to find Walter, and given their intelligence resources, they should have been some leads by now.But Ezra shook his head. "Nothing, Not a trace.""The Campbells' intelligence network has never been this weak, has it?" Austin frowned, speaking in a low tone.Ezra gave a wry smile. "

"Childhood?"Austin stopped his workout, wiped the sweat from his face, and smiled bitterly.His childhood had been bleak.Only Dahlia had brought some light into the darkness.Seeing Austin's pained smile, Aldus immediately realized his mistake.He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Sir. I spoke without thinking. You don't need to answer that.""It's fine," Austin replied, gesturing towards a nearby bench, and inviting Aldus to sit with him.Once they were seated, Austin slowly began to speak. "There's not much to tell about my childhood. It was mostly just being called an 'illegitimate child' and living day to day, never knowing where my next meal would come from."If it weren't for my mom fighting tooth and nail to raise me, I'd probably be dead by now."With just a few simple words, he conveyed a world of suffering.Aldus felt a wave of guilt. He had only been trying to find clues from Austin's past that might explain his exceptional combat instincts and incredible physical

Austin's gaze softened as warmth flooded his heart.Who hasn't longed for a light left on just for them in a sea of lights? But in reality, how many actually have that?Cecily did that for him.Given her background, the fact that she went to such lengths truly surprised Austin.In the three years he spent in the past, he had never experienced something like this.His nose tingled with emotion as he pulled Cecily into his arms, speaking softly, "Thank you. Marrying you is the greatest fortune of my life.""Alright, alright, I asked Raquel to prepare breakfast earlier this morning. You go to the dining room, and I'll have her bring it over," Cecily said as she gently slipped out of Austin's embrace, her graceful smile lighting up her eyes."Doesn't Bamboo Parlor have a kitchen?" Austin asked, curious.Cecily gave him a playful look. "The chairs in the living room are so hard, and you spent the whole night on one—how could you have slept well? If Raquel had been clattering around

The room fell into a heavy silence."Deactivating the phone number… was Dad trying to prevent me from tracking his location?" Austin murmured with a frown.Ezra pondered for a moment, his voice low and serious. "Perhaps he was more concerned about someone else tracking him."Austin's eyes widened in realization.Of course—if Walter could send him a message to let him know he was safe, he wouldn't be worried about Austin tracking himDeactivating the phone was likely to prevent others from tracing his location."But who is he trying to avoid?"Ezra shook his head, remaining silent.Having followed Walter for many years, he knew the man's temperament and habits. But this time, he was truly baffled.He couldn't even begin to piece together a clue.Taking a deep breath, Ezra forced a bitter smile. "I'm afraid I'm at a loss this time, sir. There's no sign of anything unusual from the Campbells either."This statement only deepened Austin's confusion.If there were anyone who cou

Austin knocked softly on the door.Almost immediately, he heard the sound of shuffling from inside.Ezra opened the door, his face full of curiosity. "Sir, what's going on?"Austin quickly made a shushing gesture, worried about disturbing Cecily.Then he gently pushed Ezra back into the room."Sorry to bother you so late, Mr. Lockwood," Austin said.Ezra smiled. "It's no trouble at all. The older you get, the less you need. I was just reading."Austin glanced at the book on Ezra's bedside table and couldn't help but feel a bit exasperated.This old rascal!Ezra blushed and quickly shoved the book under his pillow.Austin sat on the bed and pulled up the text message from Walter, showing it to Ezra."I just received this message."When Ezra read the text, his eyes lit up with a sharp gleam, and he was overjoyed. "This is from Mr. Walter!"Austin nodded, his expression serious. "But I've sent several messages back, and there's been no reply. I called twice—once it was immedi

But if he refused to lower his head, he would end up a dead man.He understood the situation perfectly.In fact, that very night, a message was released from Brook Villa.No one is to compete for the land!This is a clear warning to all real estate companies in Eastbrook.
