Winner Takes All Chapter 184
In the Maybach, as Magnus listened to the roar of the engine and the rising speed, he felt like his blood was boiling too.He had completely forgotten about the pain in his leg. Sitting in the middle, he stared straight at the Mercedes-Benz in front of them, which was getting closer by the second. His eyes had turned red."Ram into them! Do it like you're trying to kill them!"Beside Magnus, Reginald had a vicious smile on his face as he leaned against the seat. He lightly rubbed his bald head with his right hand. "In this city, except for Jacob, no one dares to oppose me!"With that, he patted Magnus, who was all worked up. "Calm the hell down and sit properly. When we collide later, you might break your other leg.""Right, you're absolutely right, Reginald."Magnus came to his senses. He hastily leaned back in his seat and put on his seatbelt.Smiling, Reginald said, "Take out your phone and get ready to call the ambulance. We got into an accident, so we can't ignore the casua

There weren't many cars on the road leading from Emerald Retreat to the city.It was evening, and there were few cars on the road.At that moment, two cars rammed into the side of the road one after the other. Then, they stopped.The side and front of the Mercedes-Benz had deformed, but the Maybach ahead of them had thick smoke coming out of its hood!With an angry shout, someone kicked open the door of the Mercedes-Benz.Wolf was the first to climb out of the car. Ignoring the bloody gash on his forehead, which was caused by a shard of broken glass, he hastily turned around and helped Austin out of the car."Mr. Campbell, w-we survived."Austin managed to get out of the car. Before he could catch his breath, he helped Wolf drag the manager out of the driver's seat.The manager was stupefied. His face was pale, and he had a blank look in his eyes.After he was dragged out of the car, he simply slumped on the ground.Austin checked the manager's condition. After making sure th

However, neither Reginald nor that subordinate had the intention of saving Magnus, who was trapped in the car."Wolf, come with me."Austin brought Wolf with him as he walked up to Reginald.At that moment, Reginald was still reeling from shock when he saw the two shadows in front of him. He looked up in terror."Austin, w-what are you trying to do?"Reginald shouted in anger, but he was pushing his palms against the ground as he slowly backed off.Leaning in, Austin slapped Reginald across the face.In the darkness of the night, Reginald was completely stunned as he glared at Austin in disbelief.Austin sneered. "Serves you right for all the crimes you did. This is my second warning. If you try to do it again, I'll show you who's the winner between us!""Wolf, we're leaving!"Austin turned around and then walked into the distance with Wolf.Their shadows were stretched out under the dim yellow glow of the streetlights.Reginald was dumbfounded. He watched as Austin and Wol

The sudden explosion caught Austin and Wolf off guard. They were extremely shocked.They turned around to look at the mushroom cloud and flames that shot into the air.They could even hear Reginald's startled and furious shouts in the distance.Rubbing his nose, Austin smiled in exasperation. "I just gave him some advice, but he refused to listen. He deserves this."Wolf shook his head exasperatedly as well.The Maybach was surrounded by thick smoke that irritated the throat. There was also the harsh smell of gasoline.If Reginald had been even a little bit calmer, he would have caught that scent.Unfortunately, Reginald was so stubborn and arrogant that he didn't have a single calm thought on his mind."Mr. Campbell, I don't think it's possible to resolve the grudge between you and Reginald now."Wolf spoke worriedly. Magnus had lost his life. Even though Reginald was the one who triggered the explosion, judging by Reginald's personality, he would definitely blame it on Austi

"I attended a dinner hosted by Jacob, and I met someone there. They were hiding in the shadows, and even Jacob was trying to cover them up," Austin said, smiling.Ezra chuckled. "Sir, benefit always exists in this world, but friends don't last forever. Even a powerful figure like Jacob is aware that he should side with people who can benefit him.""Yes, I understand that." Austin hesitated for a moment. "Mr. Lockwood, can you help me look into Mason's movements in the family?""Of course."Ezra nodded. "Mason is calmer and more collected than Taylor. If he had hidden his traces and come to this city in secret, it would be quite a disadvantage for you, sir.""What I need now is time." Austin got up. Then, he turned around and went downstairs.The west city slum redevelopment project was progressing steadily.Dominion also needed to gain strength from the project to soar to greater heights.Austin couldn't afford to make any mistakes in the process!Once Dominion completed the w

It was morning.People were coming in and out of the lobby of the building where Dominion Properties was located.Suddenly, five black Mercedes-Benz cars raced toward the building.With a screech, the five cars pulled up at the same time and blocked the entrance.The grand display instantly caught the attention of the people nearby, who gathered around to watch in curiosity."What happened?""What's the occasion? Is some big shot coming?""I didn't hear anything about that. I don't see anyone in the building welcoming them either. Are they trying to cause trouble?"Amidst the discussion, the doors of the five black cars opened at the same time.Young men in suits and sunglasses got out of the car and stood in a row outside the building.Two of them stepped forward and unfolded a banner.The crowd was instantly in an uproar.Their expressions immediately shifted.The words on the banner read, "Austin Campbell! Come and be the pallbearer!"The banner was like a bomb that wa

But before Wolf could stop him, Austin had already walked into view of the crowd."Look, it's Mr. Campbell!"Thanks to a surprised shout, everyone instantly focused their gazes on Austin.Everyone was wondering what the esteemed boss of Dominion had done, that someone would block the entrance to demand him to be a pallbearer!"Gentlemen, what do you mean by this? Why are you insulting my company like this?"Austin sneered as he looked sharply at the young men in suits.The young man in the lead replied coldly. "Mr. Campbell, you should come with us! Mr. Pearson is still waiting for you at the mourning hall!""What if I don't go with you?" Austin raised an eyebrow."From today onward, this banner will always and forever be hung outside Dominion," the young man said.Austin shrugged. He put on a mocking smile as he asked, "I'll go with you, then. But will you regret it?""It won't hurt to go.""Wolf, get the car!" Austin shouted at the top of his lungs.The onlookers were imm

When Austin walked into the Pearson residence, he could smell the smoke in the air.Reginald's lackeys were patrolling every inch of the path. They were wearing suits, and they had a terrifying air about them.The atmosphere in the whole Pearson residence seemed to be frozen."What are you looking at? Hurry up!"Next to Austin, one of Reginald's lackeys shouted.With a fierce gaze, Wolf was about to attack when Austin held his arm, gesturing for him to stop.Wolf suppressed his urges, but he was puzzled.Was Austin really here to be Magnus' pallbearer?How could that be?With Austin's status and background, how could he allow himself to be humiliated like that?The mourning hall was built at the gate of the house.Subtle sobs could be heard coming from the mourning hall.Just then, a crowd of lackeys swarmed out of the mourning hall.The man at the lead was a middle-aged man. He was even holding white clothes in his hands."Mr. Pearson has given instructions that Austin s

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.

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
