Winner Takes All Chapter 615
Currently, at the airport's lounge, Cecily was still very much sleepy as she sat on the chair with a frown, seemingly deep in thought.Beside her was a similarly tired Raquel, who was letting out yawns from time to time.It was still early into the morning, and they had already woken up from their dreams to be told to go overseas to the Cactuar Islands, where Cecily's parents lived, as soon as possible.Raquel turned to Cecily and asked, "Cecily… You seem like you have a lot on your mind."Cecily returned to her senses and replied, "Raquel, don't you feel that something's not right with Austin?"Raquel shook her head and replied, "Not really… If anything, I think something's not right with Aldus. He was in an extremely foul mood when he woke me up today. It's not like I provoked him or anything."Even though Cecily had chosen to believe what Austin had told her, she could not help but begin to have doubts. "I feel like Austin's hiding something from me."She spent four years wit

Austin recalled the fact that Aldus used to be a personal bodyguard for his father, as well as being one of his closest confidants.At the start, Aldus was sent to Austin's side to protect him.It was a decision that had severely undermined his father's security standards.And now, Walter would send over the entire team as backup, just to help protect Austin once more.Austin had no doubt that the security team that had protected his father for more than 20 years would be the absolute best in the world. But he could only wonder about Walter's personal security now that both Aldus and the entire team of bodyguards were removed from his side.He could not imagine just how much risk and danger Walter had placed himself in, all for his sake."Is he forgetting about himself?" asked Austin.Aldus was stunned for a moment before he smiled bitterly. "Mr. Walter has always prioritized your safety over his own.""But he's the head of the Campbells! I can't imagine what kind of danger h

Aldus' sudden shout took Austin by surprise.He immediately turned his head to look straight ahead as he instinctively stepped on the brakes.A loud thud could be heard as Austin watched the silhouette of a man flying away from the car.His heart immediately sank as he realized that he had just hit someone.Being on the phone with Walter and then looking over at Aldus had momentarily distracted him just enough to not notice the pedestrian.They were in the suburbs after leaving the airport, an area where it was normal for pedestrians to cross the roads freely.Aldus immediately unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car. "It looked like an old man… Shouldn't be much of a problem. Please stay inside the car and wait for me, sir. I'll go have a look."Both Austin and Aldus were on high alert due to the bounty. They both needed to remain cautious at all times to prevent any random and unforeseen scenarios from breaking through their defenses.Austin let out a sigh. He then not

And yet, the old man had courage far beyond his physical means.He utilized his aging body to his advantage and painted himself as a victim of a car accident in order to bring his target to him.Austin's expression sank as he realized that he had actually become careless.If not for Aldus suddenly shouting at him, the old man would not have been forced to make a move from a distance.If Austin had walked up and crouched in front of the old man, he would not have been able to react to and evade the attack from the extremely close range.The knife would have definitely made its way to his heart.It would be more than enough to seal Austin's fate."You're just an ordinary person, like any other person on the streets… Why would you go so far just to try and kill me?" asked Austin.The old man lay flat on the ground with his chest sinking in due to the broken rib.His face was a reflection of the immense pain he was going through, but he still stared at Austin with a determined gaz

Austin felt as if the entire place had frozen over even though the sun was still shining brightly.The house was eerily quiet, save for the occasional gentle breeze rustling the leaves of nearby trees.Aldus suddenly raised his right foot and kicked at a stone on the ground.As Austin watched in confusion, he picked up the stone and threw it at the house's front door.The rock made a whistling sound as it traveled through the air from Aldus' powerful throw, and it surprised Austin.As the rock was about to reach the door, however, something strange happened.A weird screeching sound echoed across the air, seemingly coming from all directions.The next moment, the rock was split in half and had fallen onto the ground. Austin was flabbergasted by what he was witnessing. "What just happened?"His heart started beating so rapidly that he felt as if it was about to jump out of his chest.Not even a man of Austin's composure could possibly calm themselves down at this moment.If

Austin carefully examined the metal box in his hand. It was actually much smaller than his fist, and it was in the shape of a small round plate.On the side was a small hole where the razor floss came out from. It was no longer lethal as the trap was already knocked over from the tree by Aldus, rendering it as malleable as normal cotton threads.Meanwhile, Aldus had also finished retrieving the other metal box.He walked up to Austin and explained, "Please give me the metal box, sir."Aldus accepted the metal box from Austin and took a few steps back before pulling out a military dagger from his waist. He then placed the two metal boxes on the floor and stabbed one of them in the small hole on the side.A sudden snap could be heard as the nearby air whistled.All of the razor floss rolled back into the metal box in an instant.Aldus picked up the metal boxes and handed them to Austin. "These traps are extremely rare, actually. I've hardly had to deal with them throughout the yea

"I'm sorry, Mr. Campbell. Your mother has late-stage liver cancer, and …"When Austin Campbell saw the doctor in front of him shaking his head, he felt dizzy, and his eyes reddened at once.Ever since he was a child, all he and his mother had were each other. To raise him and fund his education, she'd worked so hard that her health suffered. Before she even got to enjoy a better life, she had fallen severely ill."Doctor, please save my mother. I'm begging you, please. Is there really no way to save her?" Austin pleaded hoarsely. He was choking up.The doctor hesitated briefly before replying, "There's one last option—a liver transplant. We do have a suitable match here at the hospital …"Pausing, he studied Austin. Having treated Austin's mother for some time now, he was aware of Austin's financial situation.In the end, the doctor decided to continue saying, "But … the surgery won't be cheap. At the very least, it'll cost 200 thousand."200 thousand?Austin's eyes lit up. He

Urma was not done with her tirade yet."Look at you now. Nancy gave us the money because she loves us, but you're shameless enough to ask for it back! Why are you such a leech? Well, Harvey's about to get married. We're giving him the 200 thousand as a down payment on a house for him and his future wife. You won't be getting a single penny from me!"The call was cut off.Austin froze in shock. Did Urma not understand a word he said?"Austin! Have you gone mad?" Nancy grabbed Austin by the collar frenziedly. "How could you do that? Is it so wrong of me to give money to my parents?"Feeling defeated, Austin stared at Nancy with reddened eyes and asked, "Is my mother's life worth less than a down payment for your brother's new house to all of you?""You're full of bullshit!"Nancy released Austin and began to throw everything in the living room she could get her hands on.In mere seconds, the living room was a mess.Sitting on the couch, Nancy whimpered, "Austin, you heartless ma
