Winner Takes All Chapter 674
Alexander's words left everyone, including Austin, speechless.A ruby taken from the crown of Raemund—no wonder it was nowhere to be found on the market.Wait!Austin and Cecily were simultaneously taken aback. They exchanged a glance, and Cecily's face turned slightly pale, her expression conflicted.If the ruby came from Raemund's crown, didn't that mean it was taken from Pyragora?For a moment, Cecily didn't know whether to feel excited or afraid.Alexander ignored their reactions and walked over to Aldus, who was sitting in a wheelchair.The moment Aldus saw Alexander, he became dazed. When Alexander got closer, Aldus finally snapped out of it."Mr. Alexander."Alexander looked at Aldus calmly for a few seconds, then suddenly scolded disdainfully, "Ten years and still no progress. You're useless."Aldus gave an awkward laugh, feeling embarrassed but didn't argue back.When others call him useless, Aldus would not agree. This was his pride as the mercenary king who had do

A gentle breeze rustled the leaves in the courtyard, creating a serene atmosphere.On the stone table, sandalwood incense wafted in the air beside a pot of coffee.Austin hadn't felt this relaxed in a long time. Sipping his coffee, he looked at Alexander, feeling a sense of security thanks to him."Uncle Alexander, is there any way to deal with this?" Austin asked.The Emersons had struck a crippling blow, and the Shadow Web Syndicate had issued an assassination order, leaving even Walter helpless.Conventional methods weren't working, so Austin could only hope that Alexander had some unconventional solution.If this dragged on and he continued to hide in the Tetra Club, relying on layers of protection, he might stay safe, but what about his position as the head of the Campbells?His business plans were already set in motion, but with him holed up in the Tetra Club, everything was at a standstill.How could he deliver a perfect score to the Campbells like this?He had endured

Someone else was here?!Austin was shocked, his pulse racing. From start to finish, he hadn't sensed anything.Even Raquel, Aldus, their bodyguard team, and all the monitoring equipment hadn't detected a thing!As soon as Alexander finished speaking, footsteps suddenly echoed—unhurried, as if taking a stroll.Austin followed the sound, his pupils shrinking to pinpricks, and felt his scalp tingle.The courtyard door opened. The man wrapped in bandages slowly walked in.His only visible eyes were as shadowy as a venomous snake, emitting a chilling, sinister light. His entire body radiated an icy coldness.What was going on? Where were Raquel, Aldus, and Wolf?Austin's mind was in turmoil, overwhelmed with thoughts.Instinctively, he wanted to get up and escape, but he remembered Alexander's advice.Gritting his teeth, he forced himself to stay seated on the stone bench, watching the man intently.When the man was about ten steps away, Alexander suddenly waved his right hand, s

The scene before Austin made him feel icy cold and terrified.Silently incapacitating everyone—no wonder Nether was ranked 10th on the Death List!Austin could have already imagined the grim outcome if Alexander hadn't been there.Austin quickly called for everyone to be taken to Legacy Hospital.Fortunately, they were only knocked out and not in any life-threatening condition.In the hospital room, Austin sat by the bed, keeping watch over the unconscious Cecily, still shaken.He couldn't believe that despite all their layers of protection, they had been so vulnerable to someone like Nether!Taking a deep breath, Austin looked at the unconscious Cecily, gently stroking her face with a heart full of sorrow. "I'm sorry I couldn't protect you."By evening, everyone had woken up.Under Samuel's arrangement, they underwent extensive re-evaluation to ensure there were no lingering effects, finally allowing Austin to completely relax.By the time everything was settled, it was alre

A thought suddenly struck Austin, leaving him stunned.He looked at Cecily in shock. "Do you think Uncle Alexander might have done this?"Cecily was momentarily surprised.Her lips moved as if to speak, but she remained silent. Because, indeed, Alexander had the capability.Austin's mind raced, and his eyes gleamed with newfound clarity.He didn't know why Alexander had left the Grave Prison, but if Alexander had dealt with the Grim Guard Mercenaries, then the Shadow Web Syndicate's assassination order might change!Thinking this, Austin became ecstatic. Despite his usual composure, he couldn't help but squeeze Cecily's hand tightly.Cecily looked at Austin in bewilderment. "Honey, what's going on?""Maybe, just maybe, there's a turning point coming!" Austin said with a smile.……Over the following week, everything seemed to return to normal.The Tetra Club had been unusually calm, no assassins had shown up. Even the monitoring equipment hadn't detected any signs of intruder

"Shadow Web Syndicate, Death List's top assassin, Nether!" Ezra's eyes were filled with confusion as he spoke.Nether?!Austin's body tensed, and his expression turned to one of disbelief.How was this possible?"It can't be. Nether was here a week ago, the man wrapped in bandages!" Austin's voice trembled, unable to contain his shock."Mr. Lockwood, you all saw him. And after you were knocked out by Nether, it was Uncle Alexander who scared him off. How could he turn around and assassinate my dad?"Doubts spread through Austin's mind like wildfire.The Emersons from the capital had posted a bounty on the dark web targeting him. Nether failing to assassinate him, then turning to target Walter?It made no sense!Even Shadow Web Syndicate wouldn't issue such a nonsensical "bonus mission," right?"Sir, I was just as shocked when I learned of this. The family is still investigating, and we don't know the exact reasons yet," Ezra said, looking at Austin with confusion and fear.S

On one side was Cecily's opposition, and on the other was the injured Walter and the mysterious assassination attempt.What should Austin choose?"Honey, calm down," Cecily said, holding onto Austin's arm."Besides, the Shadow Web Syndicate's assassination order is still active. If you go, you'll not only face the Campbells but also the constant threat of assassination."Austin's body tensed, and the hesitation in his eyes suddenly vanished, replaced by a determined gleam."Whew…"Exhaling deeply, Austin smiled warmly. "Honey, I have to go!"What?!Cecily was initially stunned, but then her face turned angry.Despite her heartfelt pleas, Austin's resolve to go to the Campbell residence had only strengthened."Uncle Alexander once said that some things must be faced head-on!" Austin explained with a gentle smile, but his eyes shone with increasing determination."Avoiding the problem won't solve anything. Now that the Campbells are in turmoil and Dad is injured, I have to vis

North of the capital lies a range of continuous mountains.Historically, this mountain range was a natural barrier against northern nomadic tribes. Over time, this barrier lost its strategic importance.The vast mountain now exudes tranquility and serenity, with lush, green forest cloaking them in a shroud of mystery.At dawn and dusk, a soft mist blankets the area.Few people know that deep within these mountains lies a vast plain.
