Winner Takes All Chapter 699
The overwhelming coldness was chilling to the bone.Dorothy's face turned ashen, her features twisting in rage and fear.Walter's words were directed at her, reminiscent of that time at the Bamboo Parlor in the Tetra Club, when he had invited her to meet her end.Mason and Fabian were already terrified, feeling as if they were sitting on pins and needles, unable to stand still.Fear surged like a tide, threatening to drown them.If Walter dared to speak to Dorothy like this, what did that make them in his eyes?Ezra and Aldus were inwardly thrilled, clenching their fists in excitement.Austin's lips curled into a smile as he looked at Walter.Having Walter back him up felt incredible, it was a feeling he had dreamed of his whole life."My son Austin will not be humiliated by anyone."Walter's voice was cold as ice, imperious and domineering. "Even a rabbit can get angry. Why shouldn't my son fight back? Aunt Dorothy, if you were humiliated like this, would you meekly accept i

Walter had no qualms about threatening Dorothy with paying respect to the ancestors, a blatant and undisguised threat.For Fabian, a Campbell without heir status, Walter could kill him as easily as squashing an ant.Leaving Tranquil Pavilion, Austin took the wheelchair from Raquel and slowly pushed Walter forward.No one spoke along the way, and Ezra and Aldus quietly followed behind."Raquel, how did you find Mr. Walter?" Aldus asked in a low voice.The vast Campbell residence was a maze for newcomers. Finding Walter, who was heavily guarded while recovering, was no small feet.Especially now, with Walter having just been attacked, the Campbell residence had tightened its security to the highest level. Moving around freely was nearly impossible."Someone led me," Raquel said with a mysterious smile."Who?" Aldus asked in astonishment.Ezra gave Aldus a sideways glance. "Aldus, if Raquel can't say, don't press her. Despite the general disdain for sir among the Campbells, there

Austin was speechless.Was this supposed to be a joke?"Do you think I'm joking?" Walter seemed to read Austin's mind.Austin remained silent.Walter chuckled and said, "You'll understand the difference over time."Righteous authority, dominant force, the path of compassion...Austin mulled over these concepts, deep in thought. Walter's words seemed like a joke, but upon closer reflection, there was a subtle distinction.Soon, they arrived at a grand estate.This estate was set apart from the surrounding houses and pavilions in scale and architectural style, exuding a majestic and solemn atmosphere."Sir, this is Mr. Walter's residence," Ezra said softly.Looking at the grand estate before him, Austin felt a strange emotion stir. It was a complex feeling, difficult to describe.Yet instinctively, he clenched his fists, his eyes filled with unprecedented determination.Entering the estate, a crowd of servants bustled about.Walter led Austin and the others into the main hal

Austin said, "Uncle Alexander found me, and I had him stay for three days. On the third day, Nether showed up. Uncle Alexander helped me drive him away before leaving.""He didn't come directly to the Campbell Residence. He slipped into the Campbell Residence shortly before my attack and happened to encounter Nether's assault, so he intervened."Walter's eyes were deep, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest of his wheelchair. "Did you see the heads on the Campbell Residence arch? That was put there by your Uncle Alexander."Austin was momentarily stunned but quickly grasped the situation."He slipped into the Campbell Residence? What does that mean?"Although Alexander had lost the competition for the family head position to Walter years ago and for some unknown reason ended up in Grave Prison, he was still a Campbell and a former heir at that, with a close relationship to Walter.Logically, he should have entered the Campbell Residence openly, not in secret."How would I know

Along the way, Austin could feel the intense anger emanating from Walter.It was a palpable sensation, making the air around them feel bitterly cold and sending chills down his spine.Austin knew that at Walter's level, it was rare for his emotions to be so openly visible unless he allowed it. But now, this unmistakable feeling indicated that Walter was losing control.As they moved, numerous Campbell family members and servants greeted Walter.He ignored them, his face darkened and brooding, like a lion simmering with rage.Soon, a grand hall came into view. This hall was not far from Walter's residence.Symmetrically placed, it was the centerpiece of the Campbell Residence's vast estate, like the moon surrounded by stars.In front of the majestic and solemn hall, rows of servants and guards were already standing, making the hall appear even more imposing and severe.The surrounding Campbell family members and other servants quickly lowered their heads and hurried away, not da

As soon as Walter spoke, the air seemed to freeze.Austin instinctively looked up at the sun. The sunlight felt cold.As they approached the council hall, the noise became clearer.But with a call of "Mr. Walter is here," the entire hall fell into dead silence.All eyes turned toward Austin and Walter, filled with shock, complexity, worry, and disdain...Feeling the gazes, Austin finally understood the immense complexity of the Campbell family factions.Walter had been leading the Campbells for over 20 years, maneuvering through such a complex web of factions. The effort and dedication it took were unimaginable.He couldn't fathom it because he realized that all his current struggles didn't compare to what Walter had endured within the Campbells.For the first time in his life, Austin looked at Walter's back with newfound respect."What's the matter? Wasn't it quite lively just a moment ago?" Walter sat in his wheelchair, exuding supreme authority.The accumulated authority f

"Walter, as the head of the family, if you don't lead by example and break the rules yourself, how can you command respect?" Perry suddenly challenged just as Austin pushed Walter to the head's seat."Command respect?" Walter laughed coldly."If we're talking about commanding respect, maybe you should think about how you earned it first!""What do you mean by that?" Perry's expression stiffened.Walter's presence was overwhelming, dominating the room.He spoke without mercy. "Back then, you and I were both contenders for the heir position. Many here were also contenders, but how did you get your status as an heir?"Since I took the position of family head, if not for Alexander distancing himself from Campbell affairs, what right do you have to sit in such a high position, next to Mrs. Campbell Senior?"Oh right, you're banking on the fact that we share the same father but different mothers. I became the head, and our branch naturally rose with me. Tell me, what respect have you

The people present exchanged thoughtful glances, their expressions deep and reflective.Throughout the generations, the family meeting was crucial to controlling the fate of the Campbells, and it had always been convened and presided over by the family head.Dorothy issuing orders in place of the family head was indeed overstepping her bounds.But now, Walter wasn't giving Dorothy any face at all.Today's Walter… was excessively domineering!This was what everyone in the room thought.Some of those who had originally conspired with Dorothy were now wavering.Austin calmly observed everything unfolding before him.Walter was indeed domineering, but given his experience, he knew that if he didn't assert his dominance, there was no way to control the situation.The people in the room were all high-ranking members of the Campbells, each with significant power.In simple terms, they were like a gang leader staking their claim. If the situation were allowed to develop freely, it wo
