Winner Takes All Chapter 367
A Mercedes-Maybach was stopped in front of the Heavensgate Residence.Itijah sat at the back of the car. His eyes gleamed with a sinister glow as he gently tapped on his crutch with his fingers. "Perhaps… This is the last resort."He would do anything for the Emersons.Many years ago, Itijah would go so far as coveting and essentially stealing the inheritance that Walter had prepared for his wife and son.It was because he prioritized his family more than anything else.But as for Dahlia… Itijah didn't care much for the daughter he deemed to be a loser."Sir, we've arrived," said one of the bodyguards as he opened the car door.Dahlia came out of the house with a stern expression as she held her phone tightly in her hand.Her eyes reflected her complicated emotions as she stared at the Maybach.Dahlia slowly approached the car as she decided that it would be the last time they met before they moved on from each other for the rest of their lives.The car window slowly rolled d

Austin's body trembled as his eyes widened in shock.Committing patricide was way more than he had expected for Vincent to be labeled as peculiar.Austin never ever thought about killing his own father even back when he hated Walter the most. He had only decided to never see each other again for the rest of their lives."What are you talking about, Mr. Lockwood?" asked Austin with a stern expression.He didn't really care much about how Vincent became known as a genius, but he felt that he really needed to know why Vincent would kill his own father.To be able to commit such an act in cold blood would also mean that he could kill anyone else who was not as important to him as his own family.Aldus continued to drive the car as Ezra recalled the story from the very beginning.Austin gradually calmed down as he listened to Ezra's story.He never figured out why Vincent had killed his own father after listening to Ezra's story. But the public consensus seemed to agree that Vincent

The sudden shouting caused all of them to freeze up.Austin awkwardly laughed. "He's into this kind of thing?"Ezra politely smiled and replied, "It's pretty standard stuff between a man and a woman, I believe." Austin tried knocking on the door once more.An angry voice came from within the room. "You're forcing my hand! I have no other choice but to fight back now!"The door suddenly opened, and a handsome young man with a pale face and dark circles under his eyes walked out of the room.Vincent was stunned when he saw the three of them.His anger instantly dissipated and was replaced with an uninterested expression. "Who are you people?"Austin smiled and replied, "Hello, Vincent. I am Aust—"Vincent, however, had already shut the door before he could even finish. "I don't care who you are. If you're not a woman, get lost already!"Austin was left speechless.He realized that it was no longer a matter of how difficult it was to get Vincent's help if he could not even tal

Austin knew that he wouldn't stand a chance against someone like Vincent.Vincent blew out a puff of smoke and sneered at Austin. "Austin Campbell… The future head of the Campbells? This is the first time I've heard of somebody named Austin in the Campbell family. Are you sure he isn't just someone picked up off the streets?"Austin's expression immediately sank.Ezra became furious. "Watch your mouth, Vincent! You really need to work on your attitude!"Vincent shrugged and replied, "Forget it, Ezra. I'll play with you for as long as you'd like, but I'd really suggest you stop trying to get me to work for your boy over there. The Campbells and the Redmonts are rivals. Who the hell do you think he is to be asking me to work for my rival?"The room fell silent.Ezra was left at a loss for words.The next moment, a chuckle came out from Austin. "Do you still think that you're one of the Redmonts?"Vincent threw his cigarette onto the floor and stood up. "What the fuck do you mean?

Austin frowned and stopped walking.Ezra and Adlus were similarly confused as they paused their steps.They wondered what Vincent was trying to achieve."Do whatever you like, but I'm not responsible if anything happens to you," replied Austin before he left.Vincent laughed and followed after them as he jammed himself in between Ezra and Adlus. "Relax, I'm a Redmont after all. Are you guys talking about the Emerson family, the richest family in the capital?""Precisely. Do you still want to come?" asked Ezra.Itijah kidnapping Dahlia and taking her back to the Emerson family had utterly trampled over Austin's limits.Austin was completely serious about crushing the Emersons if anything were to happen to Dahlia.Vincent laughed and replied, "Sounds exciting, I'm in! I've gotten bored with playing around with women all day. I might as well take a vacation in another city!"Both Ezra and Adlus were left speechless.As the group returned to the airport, one of Austin's men guide

The lights across the capital gradually lit up one after another as night began to fall.For tonight, however, the stars and moon were no longer visible as the sky above the city was shrouded by black clouds.It seemed like a storm was coming onto the city.An area in the outskirts of Kandor City, Autumnvale, was an incredibly scenic mountainous area that attracted tens of thousands of tourists every single day.But few would know about a certain manor that stood majestically around a remote corner of the city.It was an area restricted to ordinary citizens.One could only enter the premises after receiving consent from the owner.It held none other than the Emerson Residence!The manor was brightly lit under the night sky.It stood in solidarity amongst the mountain, and in return it received a unique feeling of mystery and solemnity.Meanwhile, in one of the rooms of the Emerson Residence, Dahlia was looking around absentmindedly.Dozens of delicacies were placed right in

Itijah snapped as he raised his crutch once more. "You—" But his movements suddenly stopped in mid-air.The crutch fell onto the floor with a thud.Itijah took a deep breath, and his furious demeanor instantly disappeared and was replaced with a gentle yet creepy smile. "Killing you will just cause Austin to cut all ties with our family."It was just as Dahlia had expected. Austin was shackled by his relationship with the Emersons all because of her existence.She realized that Austin could have focused on fighting for the position of head of the Campbells if she was no longer around.At the very least, he would still have his father.Dahlia knew that she had always been a burden to Austin. She didn't want for her existence to be the reason why Austin had given up on fighting for the position of head of the Campbells, and instead chose to inherit the Emersons instead.The Emersons were filled with cold-blooded and vile individuals, and even then, the Emersons and the Campbells w

Dahlia screamed out in pain as she let go of Itijah.Itijah quickly stepped away, while two maids entered the room to lift Dahlia up and throw her back to the bed.Neither Itijah nor the servants in the Emerson household had shown any mercy to Dahlia.…Meanwhile, at a cafe inside Kandor City International Airport, Austin, Ezra, Aldus and Vincent took a seat by the window.The sky was already pitch black, but the airport was still brightly lit up with lights.Austin looked out the window as he asked, "How much longer do we have to wait, Mr. Lockwood?"The group had already arrived at Kandor City for some time now. But they had been waiting around inside the airport ever since Ezra received orders from Walter.And so the group waited around in the cafe all the way until the night had fallen."I don't know either… We'll find out what's going on once Mr. Campbell arrives," replied Ezra.Austin turned around and replied, "We've been waiting for a few hours now. How much longer do

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. It was also a gesture of goodwill toward Austin.But Austin didn't pay it much mind.If not for Derrick's involvement, he had no idea how Ethan would have responded—but Austin knew his response would have been much tougher.A mere city's underground king?
