Winner Takes All

Daisy was stunned.

Then a flash of embarrassment appeared on her pale face as she lowered her head and said, "I was worried about you and forgot about it."

"Daisy, Brent, when did Senior ever dictate this?"

Amber was puzzled. Just now, in Jack's room, when she was about to talk about what happened three nights ago, Mysterious Man happened to come in and interrupt.

She didn't know anything about the need to conceal this from Jack.

Brent said, "You have been busy taking care of the young master for the past three days, and the few of us were like this. Senior and Lone Wolf were busy taking care of us, and he told it to us. I think he hasn't had the chance to tell you yet."

As for Jack's bewitchedness, even without Mysterious Man bidding him, Brent would never be willing to tell Jack about the events of that night.

Compared to Daisy and the others, Brent, who had personally experienced Jack's battle prowess after he had turned bewitched, was reticent about Jack's bewitchedness.

The scene back then was terrifying and horrible, like hell.

Telling such a thing to Jack was unhelpful, and it might even have a significant impact on him.

At the very least, something would go terribly wrong in terms of psychological endurance!

Brent, who had been through the battlefield, had more understanding than Daisy regarding psychological endurance.

While the few people were talking in the room, Jack had already gotten up, taken a hot shower, and then stood in front of the mirror.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Jack was shocked and confused...

He slowly raised his hand and touched his face.

Through the mirror, he could see the tiny scabs on his face, as if they were moles on his face.

But when his right hand touched it, he could feel the roughness of his face.

He hadn't recovered too well from the three days of sleep.

His crusted face still had a sickly pallor at the moment.

Suddenly, Jack curled his lips and smiled teasingly, "It looks really ugly..."

Jack changed into a comfortable outfit after drying his hair.

As he walked out of the bathroom, he glanced at the wheelchair placed next to the desk.

After hesitating for a moment, Jack still chose to sit on it.

He wasn't reckless. There were still three months before his father's birthday.

He had been hiding this for a long time. He would never allow his work to fall short at this final moment.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

He glanced over the neatly arranged Buddhist scriptures on the table. However, Jack shook his head as he picked up the Tao Te Ching and flipped through it as if he had already made this a habit. Gradually, his mind calmed down as he immersed himself in the scriptures as if the pain that had always existed in his body had also diminished.

Time passed slowly.

Knock, knock, knock.

The knocking sounds at the door interrupted Jack's thoughts.

Jack closed the Tao Te Ching and saw that the door had opened. Amber popped her head in and said, "Honey, it's dinner time. Everyone is waiting for you." "Alright."

Jack pushed his wheelchair and went to the dining room with Amber.

Mr. Ward, Mysterious Man, and Lone Wolf were already sitting at the dining table.

But, there was no sign of Brent and Daisy.

Amber explained, "Daisy has gone to feed Brent. Brent was more seriously injured and can't get out of bed yet."

"Okay."

Jack reached the main seat and glanced at Lone Wolf.

Lone Wolf was nervous as he felt the gaze. He hurriedly got up and said respectfully, "Sorry, Mr. Hughes. I'm sitting here because I have something to report." "It's alright, Lone Wolf."

Jack waved his hand, "I think you are sort of the only intact person in the room, apart from Amber."

His words instantly made Mr. Ward and Mysterious Man laugh.

This was a self-deprecating statement.

Among the gang, except for Amber, an ordinary person, any one of them could beat Lone Wolf in terms of combat power.

But this time, the ones who were injured were those experts.

Although Lone Wolf and his security members had fought fiercely with the Iga Ninja Masters, Lone Wolf was also injured, and his security members had also suffered heavy losses. But compared to the other experts, Lone Wolf was in a much better state now!

"Let's sit down and eat."

Jack said to Lone Wolf with a smile.

Only then did Lone Wolf was relieved and sat down.

As the crowd ate, they chatted idly.

Lone Wolf followed the details that he had discussed with Mysterious Man and Mr. Ward beforehand when he reported the events that night three days ago to Jack while eating.

Jack nodded as he listened.

Just that when Lone Wolf finished his report, Jack slowly put down his chopsticks.

This scene caught the eyes of the crowd, and they paused too.

Jack looked at Lone Wolf with a solemn expression and asked, "What about the security members who saw me stand up?"

"Young master..."

Mr. Ward had a serious look. He knew exactly what Jack was questioning.

However, Jack looked askance as he interrupted Mr. Ward's words, "Those were not one or two lives, but dozen!"

His voice was cold and stern, with a hint of anger.

In an instant, the initially peaceful atmosphere within the dining room turned into a heavy silence.

"It's true that I have to hide my legs, but just because they unintentionally saw it and had to take away their lives, you guys...”

Before Jack could finish his words, Mysterious Man interrupted, and his hoarse voice echoed in the dining room, "We didn't kill them. They were settled in a secret place. No one is a slaughterer. There's just three months left and there's no need to kill all of them just because they saw you stand up."

"Phew..."

Jack let out a sigh of relief.

The same thing had happened more than once. Jack was uneasy about what means Mr. Ward and the others would use to eliminate it.

Meanwhile, Mr. Ward, Lone Wolf, and Amber had relaxed.

Then, Mysterious Man's hoarse voice echoed through the room once again.

"On the contrary, you should worry about yourself right now."

"What?"

Jack frowned while looking at Mysterious Man.

Mysterious Man's gaze was deep, while Mr. Ward and Lone Wolf looked gloomy.

Mysterious Man slowly raised his right hand, which was in a plaster cast, and gestured for Jack to look at it.

Then, he said slowly, "How much strength do you think we have left to protect you safely now?"

Jack was stunned. After he had awakened, he hadn't considered this matter yet.

Only now, when Mysterious Man reminded him, Jack then realized how dangerous his current situation was.

The Bloody Trap wouldn't end yet, and the assassins would still come for him one after another.

The Iga Clan's assassination three days ago was indeed terrifying.

And later on, the Bloody Trap could be even more dangerous than the assassination three nights ago.

But now, those who were close to Jack were all injured!

And Brent was still lying in bed, bedridden.

Even Mysterious Man, who was so mighty, was in a situation where his right hand was temporarily unusable at the moment.

Jack's situation was indeed dangerous now!

Jack raised his eyebrows, rubbing his nose, and said in a deep voice, "Do we really have to take shelter at Dragon Cavalry?"☐☐☐☐☐¶
