The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine) novel Chapter 240

Brent?!

Jack was completely dumbfounded.

In that moment, he felt as if the whole prison area fell into a dead silence.

All the screaming, hooting and catcalling noises abruptly disappeared.

Still shocked, Jack watched Demeter leaving the platform in awe.

He actually had a feeling about this when he saw Demeter’s fighting style just a while ago.

But he still felt a sense of trance when Demeter confirmed his hypothesis.

It was Brent who got out of Black Hell ten years ago?

What was his relationship with Demeter?

Why did Demeter’s martial arts resemble Brent’s?

And it was in fact more powerful than the one Jack learned from Brent.

Layers and layers of confusion clouded Jack’s mind.

Then suddenly, Demeter’s voice sounded.

“Oh, it’s the first day of the month today!”

Boom!

As if a thunder, this remark struck Jack out of his confused trance state.

It was the first day of the month?!

There were 14 days left until the 15th?

At this moment, he felt so agitated he couldn’t breathe.

There were only 14 days left until his marriage with Amber!

The guy from the Jour family was by Amber’s side right now while he was trapped in the Black Hell!

Amber would be marrying that guy instead of him if he didn’t manage to make it back by 15th.

If that happened, that guy would be replacing him for good!

Jack’s heart crushed in as if pressed by something very heavy. An extreme grim aura encompassed him.

No, he had to go back!

He must go back!

But in just 14 days…

Jack felt more despair the more he thought about it.

At this moment, he felt the whole world was spinning around, everything around him was rackety and buzzing hard into his ears.

Images of Amber, his mother and Brent flashed across his mind.

“No, I won’t let that happen. I will marry Amber. I will take care of my mom until her last breath. I am Jack Hughes, who will not be replaced by anyone!”

“Ah!”

Abruptly, Jack lifted his head and roared.

It sounded like a beast.

And it immediately overwhelmed the scene.

All the prisoners looked at Jack in shock.

In that moment, every single one of them could clearly sense the killing intention from Jack.

It sent chills running down their back.

Unhurriedly, Demeter turned around and stared at Jack.

The corner of his lips curled up into a smirk.

“Tell me, how long did it take for Brent to get out of here?”

With a hoarse voice, Jack sounded like an angry beast.

“One year.”

Demeter told him the answer calmly. And Jack felt as if pushed into the abyss by an invisible force.

It took even Brent a full year.

And he had only 14 days left!

No, the time he had was actually shorter considering the time he needed to travel there from the Black Hell.

10 days?

Then he thought of the fact Amber was about to get married to someone else.

Jack became resolute like never before. With a passionate spirit, his eyes were shooting daggers.

“All right! I will surpass Brent and get out of this damn place!”

“Pfft!”

Demeter gave out a chuckle and turned around to leave.

While he left, he waved his hand in the air, “There’s only one way to get out of Black Hell. Even Brent took one year to accomplish it. You will take longer than that!”

Jack was stunned.

And then exhilarated.

Demeter’s remark was indeed dismayful.

But he heard a keyword in it.

There was a way to get out of Black Hell!
