Winner Takes All

Blatant arrogance and unparalleled tyranny.

At that moment, even the mysterious man was tensed and his hair stood on end. Even Brent, Mr. Ward, and Amber were stunned. Iga TobiRyuu was equally shocked!

The next moment, Jack turned around and grinned sinisterly. His eyes were piercing as they locked onto the mysterious man and paused. The mysterious man shuddered when he realized that Jack was staring at him. A chill ran down his spine as Jack stared into his eyes. He felt as if the tide had turned and he was about to be thrown into the depths of a chasm by Jack. Boundless fear and dread could not even overcome the panic that he was feeling.

"You spend so much time believing in something all because of seeking peace, wishes fulfilled, and love. If after so long your needs were not fulfilled, then why continue to believe?"

Jack's sinister grin pierced right into the mysterious man's heart and continued to say, "If it can't give you peace, can't fulfill your wishes and defend your love, then what is it good for?"

The mysterious man's lips quivered as he wanted to banter and respond but he felt as though Jack was pressing him down with an enormous formless hand. He felt so stifled that he could not even speak. "Don't you think? Senior?" Jack smiled sinisterly as he slowly turned his head. Both the mysterious man and Brent could see clearly that Jack's eyes became bloodshot and ... the veins on his face started to swell and throb.

"Jack!"

"Master!" Both the mysterious man and Brent were terrified and yelled.

But Jack lowered his head as he turned and continued to walk forward without a care.

"You, stop right there!" Iga TobiRyuu was unnerved and unsettled. He did not know what happened to Jack physically but as a Ninja Lord, he had attained a superhuman level of capabilities and his senses were extraordinary. Hence, he was able to sense... that Jack had a physical transformation. He could feel a terrifying dread that continued to rise leading Iga TobiRyuu to feel horrified and shocked... Jack did not stop and continued forward.

"Stop, Jack, stop right there!" Iga TobiRyuu held the katana to Amber's neck. He took no notice of Amber's wails and even dragged her backward a step.

This entire scene seemed laughable for the hostage-taker to be fearful of the person he was threatening. But now, Iga TobiRyuu seemed to be terrified of Jack.

"Take another step and I will kill your wife!" Iga TobiRyuu roared as he tried his best to conceal his fears. He endeavored to put up a brave front and control his desire to flee. His voice echoed in the dark bamboo forest.

Clink clank...

Jack released his katana and the sword fell to the ground. Iga TobiRyuu was relieved when he saw that. So long as Jack was not armed and he had Amber as a hostage, Jack seemed less of a threat even if he had some physical transformation.

Iga TobiRyuu continued to look at the advancing Jack with his eyes wide open. He mentally overcame his fears of Jack and demanded, "If you want your wife to live, then you will have to die!"

"This is the task of the Iga Clan. Even if I, Iga TobiRyuu, die today, I will also ensure that you will not live a moment longer."

"Stop, stop right there! Fuck! I'll kill your wife if you take another step!"

He kept demanding and threatening but could not prevent Jack's advance.

The mysterious man and Brent looked frostily at Iga TobiRyuu and the mysterious man sighed, "You're asking for your own death..."

At this point, the mysterious man felt that Jack was just a step away from killing Iga TobiRyuu. Yet, Iga TobiRyuu did not realize that the more he threatened Jack, he was actually assuring his own death. The bamboo forest courtyard was filled with Amber's cries for Jack to save her and Iga TobiRyuu's frantic attempts to threaten Jack. Except that all these were unsuccessful in stopping Jack's slow but steady advance.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

The fighting outside the bamboo forest courtyard had ended and the surrounding seemed peaceful. Lone Wolf now rushed towards the entrance of the courtyard with dozens of guards. He knew that something had happened in the courtyard and wanted to help. However, Lone Wolf was startled when he saw the situation in the courtyard. He quickly ordered the guards to block the entrance to prevent any more people from seeing that Jack was not crippled.

"Damn it, I deserve to die!" Lone Wolf suddenly realized that he had failed in his duties to protect Jack.

But now, what was happening in the courtyard hit him in the face like a sledgehammer. He now knew that he had utterly failed in his duties.

"Fuck!" Iga TobiRyuu yelled.

Now Jack finally stopped but he was now no more than three steps away from Iga TobiRyuu and Amber.

"Hubby... oh oh my... save me... I, I don't want to die..." Amber was beyond terrified, her eyes were swollen and her voice was raspy from all the crying and screaming.

"Jack, you must die for your wife to live!" Iga TobiRyuu threatened again as he was sweating profusely.

"Disgusting..." Jack declared as he still looked down.

Iga TobiRyuu was already terrified by Jack's transformation but his pupils constricted when he heard what Jack said. The Iga Clan was revered in the world of Ninjas. It was indeed disgusting that he had to resort to threatening a woman in order to kill his target. It was a huge embarrassment to the Ninjas, the Iga Clan, and to him!

Just as he was contemplating his deeds, Jack finally... raised his head.

When those fearsome eyes looked towards Amber...

"Argh!" A terrifying scream shattered the tranquility in the courtyard. Even Iga TobiRyuu was started by the horrifying scream. When he looked towards Jack, he could finally see Jack's face.

Iga TobiRyuu shuddered in fear and his senses were overwhelmed. He had never felt the presence of death. But now, with Jack right in front of him and the appearance of Jack, Iga TobiRyuu felt as if... death was standing right in front of him.00000
