In such a chaotic battle, the quickest solution is to capture the leader.As long as Terry was captured, the fight would end instantly.In a flash, Aldus let out a roar and threw a powerful punch, caving in the chest of an attacker in front of him.Moving as if he were unstoppable, he quickly joined Austin.Meanwhile, Ezra swiftly reached Vincent's side. Despite his seemingly weak appearance, his hands moved with lightning speed, taking down the two attackers beside Vincent in an instant."Vincent, you’re worse off than an old man like me," Ezra mocked.Vincent spat out a mouthful of blood. "Damn it, I was ambushed."On the other side, Austin and Aldus were like two war gods, charging directly at Terry, advancing like rampaging tigers.Aldus was once a top mercenary king who had dominated battlefields and survived ten consecutive victories in Grave Prison, found this skirmish trivial compared to the brutal, blood-soaked wars he had faced.With his prowess, he was purely unstop
Boom!The sound was like thunder, deafening. Everyone looked at Austin in a panic.Is he crazy? Is he betting that Terry won't dare to shoot?"Mr. Campbell!""Sir!""Austin!"Jennie, Ezra, Vincent, and others shouted simultaneously. But Austin ignored them. Instead, he quickened his pace.His face was stern, eyes narrowed into slits, radiating a sharp, piercing coldnessAt this moment, Austin's entire demeanor changed. He became like an unsheathed sword, exuding a dominating and imposing aura.His gaze was locked onto the black muzzle of Terry's gun, his full attention fixed on it.His steps grew faster and faster!Terry's pupils contracted, his heart pounding. Seeing Austin approaching, he suddenly felt a wave of panic.Is this lunatic planning to headbutt the gun?The atmosphere was tense and deadly.Everyone was terrified, with some girls covering their eyes tightly, unable to watch what would happen next.In their eyes, Austin was already a dead man.The image of a
At this moment, Terry was utterly terrified. Apart from his pitiful screams, he had none of the arrogance he displayed earlier.To him, Austin seemed like a terrifying specter, a source of unimaginable dread."You're the one who's utterly foolish!"Austin looked down at him as if he were already dead. "I didn't kill Mr. Emerson Senior. I disdain such sneaky actions. If I wanted someone dead, I'd do it face-to-face! The downfall of the Emersons is entirely your doing!""No, that's not like that! It's not like that at all!"Terry's eyes were bloodshot, he shook his head frantically in denial, his fear mingling with madness. "It's you. It's all you! The Emersons are in this state because of you!"Swish!In an instant, a flash of cold light appeared from Terry's waist.Terry drew a dagger, lunging at Austin like a mad dog, his eyes filled with vicious intent.The crowd gasped once more.Bang!A dull thud echoed. The frenzied Terry suddenly froze in place.The fear and madness o
That night, the capital was sleepless.Amidst the powerful families, an undercurrent of activity surged.Some were shocked, others were thrilled, and some took pleasure in the misfortune.As the Emersons declined, their once mighty empire teetered on the brink, and many had been sharpening their knives in anticipation.However, even a dying camel is still bigger than a horse, and quickly devouring their assets wasn't possible—plans had to be made carefully and slowly.Now, with the sudden fall of the new head, Terry, the powerful families saw an opportunity.A chance to swiftly consume the remains of the Emersons—a heaven-sent opportunity!The entire capital seemed as wild and turbulent as the thunderstorm that had just passed, filled with frenzy and agitation.Austin paid no mind to any of this. After leaving the hotel, he returned to his residence.He despised the Emersons, but it was merely hatred.Initially, he could control his anger.But after Itijah's death and Terry'
Austin smiled as he spoke.Ezra said, "You don't need to worry so much, sir. Everything will be fine.""Taking care of your wife is always the right thing to do." Austin rubbed his nose.Ezra and Aldus both laughed.After a moment, Aldus hesitated, then asked, "Sir, what were you thinking about when you dodged that bullet?""I didn't want to wait for death. I fought until my last breath, so I could die without regrets," Austin replied.Was it really just desperation?Aldus was deeply shocked. People can indeed tap into their potential in extreme situations. But potential varies from person to person.To achieve something as extreme as dodging a bullet, how terrifyingly vast must Austin's potential be?The plane landed at the suburban airport.Austin first went to Dominion Properties to take care of some business.Dominion Properties had recently completed the West City Slum Redevelopment Project, bringing the company's scale up to the level of Jacob and Reginald's real estat
"Mr. Sanders, you're a pro at acquiring land. Do you really need my help with this?" Austin asked, puzzled.Jacob had dominated the business world for decades. Even in the competitive real estate industry of Isonburg, he held his own against Reginald, a property specialist, often leaving him struggling to keep up.A big shot like Jacob struggling to acquire a piece of land?Jacob rubbed his hands awkwardly. "Honestly, if it were here in Isonburg, I could get it easily. But that land is in Eastbrook, which complicates things for me."Austin didn't seem concerned. He waved his hand dismissively. "Just go straight to Dominion and talk to Matt and Wolf. They'll take care of it.""Thank you, Mr. Campbell!" Jacob said, visibly relieved."If we secure that land, I'll ensure you're well compensated. And if you're interested, we could even partner up on the development!""Alright, off you go then. I need to get back to my wife," Austin replied, waving him off as he headed towards Bamboo
Ezra nodded, acknowledging that Austin's assessment was spot-on.A lizard can survive even after losing its tail.So how could the Emersons, once the wealthiest family in the capital, not manage to hold on?Yet Terry, with all the options available, made the most foolish choice."You didn't just call me to talk about this, did you?" Austin suddenly asked, glancing at Ezra.Ezra gave an awkward smile. "Actually, Jennie asked me to get your opinion on something."After a brief pause, Ezra continued, "With Terry dead and the Emersons in shambles, Emersons' third son is aware of the feud between you and the family. But he's a smart one. He decided to back down and has offered to transfer part of the Emersons' assets to the Coopers.""A backdoor revival?" Austin raised an eyebrow, a bit surprised."I underestimated the Emersons. Turns out there's someone in that family with a brain."With the Emersons being devoured by all the major families, giving up some of their assets to the C
At the International Hotel in Eastbrook, Austin was taken aback when he saw Jacob and Wolf.Both looked disheveled, with Wolf sporting several bruises on his face, making him look quite battered."What the hell happened?" Austin asked, his expression darkening.It was one thing for them to insult him, but now that they had laid hands on his people, this wasn't something that could be easily resolved.Having been in real estate for so many years, Austin knew all too well how land deals typically played out.Back when he was the vice president of Dominion Properties, he'd often represented the company, taking on the title of president to help secure land deals.Typically, in deals like this, the heads of major real estate companies would sit down together, cigars in hand, discussing over wine who would get which piece of land.The bidding process was mostly just for show.Jacob hadn't managed to reach an agreement from the start, which is why he had hoped to join forces with Domi
