The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine) novel Chapter 1035

In the recent three days, Jack had been recuperating in the palace with Cynthia. Cynthia had been helping him with his meals, changing his dressings, and serving him the medicine. Jack was very touched by her detailed care for him.

In these three days, his relationship with Cynthia had greatly improved ever since he lost his memories. Apart from Cynthia, Amanda had also been taking care of Jack to nurse him back to health. Amanda regarded Jack as her only remaining kin.

In comparison to the peace and tranquility inside the palace, there was increasing public uproar in the cities. There was a vast and magnificent city square not far from the palace. Within the square stood seven grand statues each with a stone carving on its feet. The Huns regarded this city square as important as the palace itself. Every Hun citizen of the thirteen cities knew that these seven historical figures had made enormous contributions and sacrifices for the Huns over their history.

It was either the King who founded the Huns Kingdom, or the King who expanded their Kingdom towards the snow plains, or the General who defeated the barbarians and saved the Huns from annihilation. These were actions that benefited the entire Kingdom!

But in recent days, there was construction at the city square. Everyone could see that there was to be another statue erected right next to the seven statues! This sparked a huge debate and speculation on who this was in honor of.

This construction was like a huge nuclear bomb that exploded within the Kingdom. Every Hun citizen hotly debated this issue. The discussions were eager and intense.

Shortly after the construction work started, word had spread like wildfire across the remaining twelve cities. The reaction in the other twelve cities was no different than at the capital.

Why was the eighth statue erected and who was it erected for? These two questions were the most popular on everyone’s mind. It was impossible that no one knew about the event that was significant enough for such an honor to be bestowed onto the hero. Each of the original seven heroes earned their honor due to some huge and earth-shaking event over the Hun’s history. However, everything was peaceful and the news of the new hero was like a meteorite crashing into the thirteen cities out of nowhere.

News also spread via the traveling businessmen to the tribes around the Giant City. In the short span of three days, the entire Kingdom was talking about this issue. Some of the royal advisors began to feedback on some of these debates to King Hun.

But King Hun was determined and suppressed the royal advisors. This action further fueled debate among the citizens and those advisors who did not know what was going on.

Such an internal rife started to attract the attention of the infiltrating guards.

Joseph and some others gathered in the hotel.

“It feels as if this matter has become a big issue!” Charley Jones said as he rubbed his nose, “Could that person be our young master?” He went with Joseph to a restaurant and overheard some drunk talking about the hot topic.

Charley rubbed his face and then said, “This had made King Hun erect a monument in his honor and even sparked a country-wide debate. How could young master attain such honor in the time that he went missing?”
