Winner Takes All Chapter 663
The room was silent.Austin slowly shifted his gaze toward the phone Ezra handed him.It displayed a dark web page, the Shadow Web Syndicate's assassination assignment.Three more death scythes had been added.In just one week, three more top assassins from the Death List had taken an interest in this job!Unlike the previous fear and dread, Austin now felt an eerie calm.He looked at Ezra. "Did you find out anything about these top assassins from the Death List?"Everyone was stunned.Austin's calmness was beyond everyone's expectations."Yeah, we did," Ezra said, his expression complex. Though shocked, he quickly continued, "Two of them aren't ranked very high on the Death List, but one of them..."He deliberately paused.He took a deep breath and said, "This one is ranked 10th on the Death List, known as Nether.""Nether? 10th? Interesting." Austin rubbed his chin and gave a peculiar smile.This scene left Ezra, Cecily, and the others dumbfounded.What kind of reaction

Raquel gave Cecily a meaningful look and a teasing smile."Cecily, I truly believe in your sixth sense now. Your instincts about your husband are spot on!""Raquel, stop teasing me," Cecily replied, blushing and lowering her head.Sixth sense?!Austin was stunned and gave Cecily a deep look, feeling a warm current in his heart. He hadn't expected that what started as a deceptive game would end in such an almost "absurd" way.However, the sixth sense was something intangible. Cecily's suspicions were probably due to her close observation and deep understanding of him.At that moment, a low voice suddenly echoed in the room."Raquel, you never told me you're Charon, ranked 20th on the Death List. Have you been deceiving me all along?"The atmosphere in the room instantly became tense.Everyone, including Austin, turned to look at Aldus.Aldus sat upright in his wheelchair, head lowered, his face unreadable. But the suppressed anger in his voice was unmistakable."Aldus…" Raque

In the Bamboo Parlor, the atmosphere was serene and elegant.Austin could now barely sit up. With Cecily's help, he sat in a wheelchair and moved to the main room.Cecily brewed a pot of fine coffee and lit a sandalwood incense stick.Aldus and Ezra were also present, quietly waiting.The coffee aroma drifted gently, and the atmosphere was peaceful."They should be back by now, right?" Austin asked calmly, taking a sip of coffee."They've been gone for half an hour, they should be back soon," Ezra nodded.Austin smiled slightly and put down his coffee cup. "I didn't expect the assassin to come in just three days. Who is it this time?""Sir, it's the 72nd on the Death List," Ezra replied.Austin sneered, "I wonder if he'll be scared stiff when he sees Raquel."Raquel's injuries weren't severe; though her combat strength was reduced, she still could fight.On the other hand, Wolf lacked the experience to handle such situations convincingly.The bodyguard team had many members

An unknown number suddenly called.Austin answered the phone.A slightly raspy, incredibly magnetic voice came through, "Come out and meet me!"Austin's body jolted, and he stood frozen.That voice... Alexander?!In an instant, a storm of emotions surged in Austin's heart.He couldn't believe it and asked, "You got out? That place…""I come and go as I please. The world is vast, who dares to me, Alexander?"The sheer arrogance and confidence in that statement were unmistakable.But Austin knew that this man, who had single-handedly dominated an entire prison, had the right to say such words!Taking a deep breath, Austin's thoughts swirled, and he felt a surge of excitement and joy.He quickly asked, "Where?""At your mother's grave!"Click!The call ended.Austin showed a relaxed smile. "Mr. Lockwood, prepare the car. I'm going to pay my respects to my mom."Boom!It was like a thunderclap. Everyone present was stunned.Was he crazy?With assassins lurking everywhere

Wolf and Raquel looked puzzled.Sitting in the passenger seat, Ezra was already stunned.Alexander. Only one towering figure came to mind when he thought of Alexander.Could he really be back?For a moment, Ezra's face turned pale.Taking a deep breath, he said with relief, "Maybe this time, Sir's protection mission is secure!"Wolf and Raquel's expressions changed simultaneously.Despite having Aldus and Raquel's protection, along with Walter's bodyguard team and the Tetra Club's bodyguard, they still felt uneasy.Could one person truly make Ezra so assured?Suddenly, the atmosphere in the car became tense.The grand convoy drove toward Dahlia's cemetery, naturally attracting everyone's attention.Many people took photos and uploaded them online, but Austin couldn't be bothered. For the sake of safety, a bit of high-profile attention was unavoidable.As Austin led the convoy away from the Tetra Club, shockwaves rippled through all the major families.In the Capital, at th

The assassination contract by the Shadow Web Syndicate instilled fear in both the Clarks and the Coopers.Right now, the most critical thing was to keep Austin safe!As long as Austin was alive, there was hope for both families. If Austin died, the Clarks and the Coopers would be in grave danger.Austin leaving the Tetra Club now was practically a death wish. How could the families not be anxious?With a cold and stern expression, Jennie lowered her head and said, "I don't know, no one informed me!"Terrence and Nelson both turned to Yannis."Yannis, what did Vincent say?" Terrence asked in a serious tone.Yannis sighed and said, "Grandpa, I contacted Vincent immediately when it happened, but he doesn't know what's going on either.""What…" Terrence and Nelson were both stunned, their minds buzzing.Meanwhile, at the Redmont residence in Basin City, all was calm.When Morgan, with Jade Cutter, died in front of Austin, the once richest family in Basin City, the Redmont family,

Austin had a headache, he kept rubbing his throbbing temples.This outing had turned into a massive spectacle, far beyond what he had imagined."I just wanted to meet Uncle Alexander," Austin lamented inwardly, feeling a surge of frustration as he watched Skylar's convoy converging from another street.Gritting his teeth, he said, "Mr. Lockwood, call Skylar and tell her to get her ass inside the car!""Sir, calm down. He's a man," Ezra gently reminded him before dialing Skylar's number.After giving the order, Austin soon saw Skylar ducking down and slipping back into the car through the sunroof."Mr. Lockwood, maybe we should tell them to disperse?" Austin suggested.Ezra's expression turned serious. "Considering your safety, sir, I think we still don't have enough."Austin was speechless.Being too wealthy could be quite a hassle sometimes.The convoy finally reached the outskirts. Compared to the crowded city, the suburbs were much quieter.With fewer onlookers, Austin si

He gave a teasing smile. "Did you really need to bring this many people just to greet me?"Austin responded with an awkward grin. "I've been running into some trouble lately. These people are here to protect me.""Pathetic!" Alexander's expression turned cold as he narrowed his eyes.The entire forest fell silent in an instant, and the temperature seemed to drop to freezing.The look on his face hit Raquel and Wolf like a thunderclap, filling them with fear and sending chills down their spines."Since when have the Campbells ever been this pathetic?" Alexander's voice was stern, like an elder scolding a disappointing junior.He slammed the flower in his hand onto the ground. "You, come here! Pay respects to your deceased mother. I want to see who dares to harm you!"Austin let out a breath, a smile spreading across his face.He turned back to Ezra and said, "Mr. Lockwood, take them down the mountain.""Sir, this..." Ezra's expression changed dramatically.Austin's life was on

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.
