Winner Takes All Chapter 229
Mason couldn't help but frown at Austin's twisted sneer and casual tone. He had a bad feeling about this.Even with his brains, he couldn't understand why Austin was behaving so oddly right now.The more he failed to fathom it, the faster his heart raced. He was wary of Austin.Aldus and Wolf looked at Austin in bewilderment as well.It was odd!Other than the word "odd", the two couldn't think of any other words to describe Austin.He knew that he would be breaking the family rules, but he still delivered the first punch.Then, he got himself injured and stepped away from the front lines. After that, he casually ordered Aldus and Wolf to gang up on Mason. He was even sneering.Why… did he do all this?"Beat him up!"Austin's voice became lower.Outside the villa, lightning streaked across the sky.Aldus put on a stern expression. "Let's go, Wolf!"As he spoke, he brought his huge body toward Mason, exuding immense pressure as he went.Mason's expression shifted. He didn'

Aldus and Wolf didn't continue their attacks. Instead, they exchanged glances and looked at Austin at the same time.Based on their experience, if they kept hitting Mason… he would die!"Go on!"Austin rubbed his nose, his calm voice filled with endless coldness.He sounded as cold as the chilly winds outside.At the same time, Aldus and Wolf had determined looks on their faces. Austin's intentions were clear enough!Before the two moved, Mason suddenly growled from his position on the floor. "I-I'm the heir of the Campbell family. And you hounds dare to kill me?"If you kill me, you and your families will die for this!"Don't think that this mutt can protect you, either. He will have to die for this too!"As Mason spoke, he painstakingly got to his feet. But he glared sideways at Austin on the couch, doubtful.He was panicking.He had never expected things to progress to this point, where he was completely at a disadvantage.Indeed, he was trying to get Austin to break the

A flash of lightning lit up the living room.Austin's expression was a rare ferocious kind. With an angry roar, he gripped the cold dagger as he suddenly dashed toward Mason.The strong murderous intent caused Aldus and Wolf to shift their expressions.Aldus shouted, "Sir!" He wanted to stop Austin, but it was too late.At that moment, time seemed to have slowed down.Mason's face was deathly pale, and his heart was pounding. His eyes were as wide as saucers.At that moment, he had lost his calm and collected attitude. He only felt intense fear of death.He had no doubt that Austin would stab him with the dagger!He would be dead at the next moment!"Ah!"Mason suddenly screamed.No one knew if he was afraid, or if that was a retaliating shout in the face of death.Austin rammed into Mason with a thud.Then, the sound of a dagger stabbing through flesh resounded in the living room.Right after that, the two seemed to have frozen.Blood dripped slowly between the two, fal

Mason's honor and pride had given him the confidence to look down on everyone else.But now, faced with Austin, a mutt who was born outside of the Campbell family, he was… terrified!How terrifying would someone be if they would stop at nothing? They would tread cautiously with every step they took, and they would even hurt and scheme against themselves!Mason reflected on it. He knew that he definitely wouldn't be able to do something like what Austin did!This mutt was a madman!With a thud, Mason slumped onto the floor. Austin's mockery was still ringing in his ears.At that moment, his confidence suddenly wavered.Right after that, intense humiliation flooded over him.He was an elite of the Campbell family, but he lost to a mutt!Damn it! This mutt deserved to die!"Ah! I'll kill you!"Mason's eyes suddenly turned red as he threw himself at Austin with strong murderous intent."Game's over."Austin raised an eyebrow as he looked at Aldus. "Do it!"Aldus took a step f

By the time Austin rushed to the hospital, Ezra was already waiting there.When Ezra saw Austin's injury, he widened his eyes in shock.Without another word, the pale-faced Austin was sent straight into the emergency room.Turning around, Ezra slammed his fist onto Aldus' face. He was extremely furious."You bastard! I told you to keep watch over him, but look what happened!"Aldus grunted, lowering his head in silence."Mr. Lockwood…" Wolf wanted to explain.Ezra immediately slapped Wolf across the face.He said furiously, "It's not your turn to speak!"Wolf froze, but he also lowered his head and fell silent."Mr. Lockwood, it's our fault. We couldn't protect sir well," Aldus said calmly.They both followed Walter, but Ezra's position was much higher than Aldus'. Ezra was a true confidant of Walter's.Moreover, Ezra was always quite calm, so now that he had flown into a rage, he was extremely furious for real!Also, Austin was indeed injured after all.For followers, so

"As soon as we left the villa, Mason immediately flew back to the Campbells."Aldus explained, "Mr. Lockwood was worried that Mason might shift the blame on you, convincing them that you had gone against the family rules. So, he immediately rushed home as well."Austin nodded.This was within expectations as well.Austin could imagine that Mason had gone home first because he wanted to seize the opportunity and accuse Austin of breaking the family rules.Austin had already created as much leeway as possible, so if Ezra still couldn't get it, he probably wouldn't be Ezra anymore.Austin weakly turned around to look at the night scene outside.He mumbled, "They should have concluded their argument by now, right?"Aldus shook his head. "I kept trying to contact Ezra, but his phone was turned off.""I see," Austin responded, but he didn't say anything more.Last time, when Ezra returned to the Campbells, he had gone off the grid. So this time, it wasn't too much of a surprise for

Austin chuckled when he saw Aldus and Wolf coughing from the smoke.The one billion dollars had shocked them, but to Austin, it wasn't as important as the message behind the transaction.This time… fate was on his side!Walter and Ezra had made sure that Austin's hard work was not done in vain.Austin wasn't worried about anything else.As long as he was still in the game, and he wasn't eliminated, he had the right to keep fighting!Stretching, Austin smiled and said, "Wolf, go and get breakfast. I'm a little hungry.""Sure, Mr. Campbell."After Wolf went out, Aldus finally came to his senses. He smiled as if a burden was lifted off him. "Sir, the stab you took was worth it. Mr. Walter and Mr. Lockwood succeeded.""Yes, but there may be more troubles lying ahead."Austin rubbed his nose, his gaze deep as he said, "This incident won't blow over just like that. Mason isn't the sort of person who would suffer in silence, either."Aldus nodded, deep in thought.Taking out his p

"Does that have anything to do with you?"Over the phone, Mason sounded as arrogant as ever. He seemed to be giving orders as he said, "A private plane from the Campbells will be landing in your city tonight. Be sure to give them a warm welcome.""Oh, yes, of course. I'll do my best."Jacob hastily answered. Then, he asked, "Pardon my boldness, but may I know who from the Campbell family is coming?""If you're aware that you're being too bold, why would you ask?"Mason's voice was cold, and it was filled with intense disdain. "Remember, if you intend to be a hound, be prepared to be one. Dogs never ask their masters questions!"The call ended abruptly.Jacob's face was flushed, and he seemed to be in a daze.Under his gold-rimmed glasses, subtle fury burned within his eyes.In an instant, he suppressed the anger in his eyes as he put on a smile. He slowly lowered his phone.Chuckling self-deprecatingly, he muttered, "Yes, I've become a dog now, haven't I?"At midnight, thing

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
