Winner Takes All Chapter 721
When he left the Campbell residence, Walter had told Austin about the possibility.But Austin never expected the cancellation to come so quickly!In just one night, the storm had calmed.For almost a month, the Shadow Web Syndicate's assassination order had hung over him like a sword, making it impossible for him to find peace, leaving him constantly anxious.Now, finally, the clouds had parted to reveal a clear sky.Overwhelmed with joy, Austin's eyes began to sparkle.He took a deep breath, the first truly deep breath he'd taken in nearly a month.Then, he let out a relieved smile. "How did the Shadow Web Syndicate cancel the order?"Just like that?!Ezra, Aldus, and Raquel were stunned.Austin's reaction was far too calm.For nearly a month, they had all been living under the shadow of the assassination threat, their nerves stretched to the limit.They had expected Austin to jump with joy upon hearing the news.But now..."What's wrong?" Austin asked, puzzled, as he lo

Especially Aldus and Raquel felt an immense sense of awe toward Austin at that moment.Austin's connections and hidden cards were truly unfathomable!How could someone with such deep ties to the Grim Reaper of the Shadow Web Syndicate have ended up in such a dire situation before?"Alright, everyone, get back to work. Now that the assassination threat is over, there's a lot we need to get moving on without delay," Austin said, snapping out of his thoughts and waving his hand to dismiss the astonished Ezra, Aldus, and Raquel.He didn't voice his suspicion that Alexander might be the Grim Reaper.Alexander had snuck into the Campbell residence covertly, even killing Nether to help Walter, without ever revealing his presence.Such secrecy indicated that Alexander didn't want anyone to know his true identity.Whether or not it was Alexander who pressured the Shadow Web Syndicate into canceling the order, Austin saw no need to share his suspicions.If Alexander had left Grave Prison

Roaring...In the sky, helicopter rotors thundered, whipping up gusts of wind.What astonished Austin was that there weren't just one but three helicopters!Each helicopter was suspending a giant, container-like box.The helicopters hovered above, slowly lowering the boxes with cables.The scene was incredibly dramatic, drawing a crowd of onlookers who gasped in amazement.After all, aside from Walter's bodyguard team, the security team at Tetra Club rarely saw such a spectacleAustin was stunned. "Is this really a gift? Are you sure they're not moving house?""Just a small gesture. Mr. Walter has always been generous, especially with his son, daughter-in-law, and future grandchild," Ezra said, his face beaming with pride."In fact, I think Mr. Walter is being a bit stingy. He's far more generous when he's doing business outside.""Sending oil fields?" Austin recalled Ezra mentioning Walter's extravagant gifts in the past."Exactly," Ezra nodded.In Austin's arms, Cecily wa

The middle-aged person hesitated, pointing at the list."There's more on here...""Stop!"Austin's face darkened as he quickly interrupted. "It doesn't matter what's left, just don't read it!""Well, alright then."The middle-aged man, somewhat reluctantly, handed the list over to Austin with respect.Austin didn't even glance at it. He quickly scanned the crowd, who were already pale and silent from shock and waved his hand. "Sorry for the disturbance, everyone. You can all disperse now."He no longer cared about the stone-faced onlookers and hurriedly instructed Ezra and the middle-aged man to handle the exchange.Then, he and Cecily hurried back to the main house.Once seated, Cecily was still in a daze. "Honey, Dad is incredibly generous! I've never seen anyone give gifts like this in my entire life. It feels like a dream.""I haven't even heard of anything like this, let alone seen it." Austin scratched his head helplessly.He now finally believed Ezra's story about Walte

With the Campbells' reputation for vast wealth, lavish gift-giving was indeed normal.Ten or even a hundred billion might seem like little. However, there still needed to be a legitimate reason for such actions.Walter could justify giving 10 billion as pocket money to assuage his guilt.But a hundred billion would be harder to explain away without drawing unwanted attention within the Campbells.Cecily's pregnancy provided the perfect excuse for Walter.Even if it seemed a bit "forced," it was certainly more plausible than calling it pocket money.After visiting the Campbell residence, Austin clearly understood the family's internal conflicts.Dorothy held a high position, exerting pressure as an elder. Meanwhile, the power-holding peers formed various factions, with undercurrents of rivalry.The Campbells were unlike other wealthy families where the head's word was law.Ezra nodded approvingly, smiling. "Exactly. With the one-year deadline approaching, you're at a disadvanta

"Mr. Lockwood and the others have already taken care of the aftermath, but I still plan to allocate some money from my own account to compensate the families of those who died," Austin said frankly, his drunken eyes glistening with tears.In his mind, he recalled the battle at the Heavensgate Villa, where the bodyguards had risked everything to get him out safely."That's good," Vincent nodded approvingly."That's what being a leader is all about.""Get lost!" Austin laughed and cursed, tilting his head back as if to gaze at the sky but really to hide his tears.He sighed deeply and said, "Everyone has parents who raised them. Human life is priceless. They gave their lives for me, and all I can do is offer a little financial compensation."Vincent glanced at Austin, his expression complicated.He hesitated, almost saying something, but swallowed his words.After a few seconds of silence, Vincent suddenly frowned and asked, "Actually, I have another question.""What is it?"

In an instant, Austin felt as if an electric current had jolted through him—a flash of enlightenment.His expression gradually twisted into one of realization. Vincent's casual remark had sparked a crucial thought."Austin, what's wrong?" Vincent asked, noticing Austin's strange reaction.Assuming he'd had too much to drink, Vincent quickly steadied him.As Vincent finished speaking, Austin suddenly looked up, staring intently at him.His demeanor changed completely, his eyes sharp like a drawn sword.Even Vincent was startled, swallowing hard.Just as Vincent was about to ask, Austin spoke, "What if Nether killing my dad was part of a clandestine deal all along?"Vincent's expression hardened, his mind reeling with the sudden revelation.Austin's words hit Vincent like a sledgehammer, sending shockwaves through his mind.Neither of them were fools, in fact, they were quite astute. Otherwise, they wouldn't have achieved their current success."If this was a clandestine deal,

Raquel was utterly shocked.She was the first to discover Nether's severed head hanging at the Campbell residence's archway.That sight was unforgettable!"What if Nether never came to Tetra Club but went directly to the Campbell residence? Do you understand now, Raquel?" Vincent added for clarification.Boom!Raquel's body shook as she exclaimed, "The person orchestrating this from the shadows actually intended to assassinate Mr. Walter. The assassination attempt on sir was just a carefully constructed decoy?"Vincent nodded.Raquel murmured, "Without the protection of a top-tier bodyguard team, Mr. Walter is indeed vulnerable. But Nether is already dead, so..."Halfway through her sentence, Raquel's expression turned to one of extreme terror."Even if Nether is dead, and even the assassination order on sir has been canceled, the person orchestrating this from the shadows is still out there. Their primary goal is to assassinate Mr. Walter, so... there are still assassins targ
