The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine) novel Chapter 247

The atmosphere was tensed in the security monitoring room. Everyone in the room, inclusive of Demeter, was solemn and respectful. Everyone braced up in front of this man.

Standing in front of Demeter was a man wearing a black hooded jacket. The large hood covered most of the face only revealing the messy bearded jaw.

“Hmm?” A soft query from the man.

Demeter quickly said, “Very unlikely.” Demeter lowered his head in respect as he said. And what he said was his true feelings.

From the fight just now, Demeter could see that Jack already knew about Alpha Wolf’s weak spot which was why he repeatedly struck that spot. But there were ten Prison areas. Setting aside the person in front of him, there were 9 matches to win.

Jack had only won two of them. It was insufficient to simply know the opponent’s weak spot to fight the remaining 7 convicts. For the first two matches, perhaps Jack could win easily by knowing Alpha Wolf’s weakness. But as the matches progressed all the Alpha Wolf death matches opponents will religiously conceal their weakness.

The more he progressed, it will become more difficult for Jack to succeed. If his fighting abilities were insufficient, then it would be exceedingly dangerous.

“I actually feel that he can.” The hooded man laughed and grinned, “His last name is Hughes?” Demeter was stunned and nodded.

The hooded man scoffed, stretched lazily, and said, “Ten years ago we released that man and now we have another. I wonder if we should release this one!”

After saying, he turned to leave.

The words reverberated in the security monitoring room causing Demeter and the rest to be stunned. The word ‘release’ was like a clear sky lightning bolt. That meant… it was this hooded man who intentionally released Brent?

Demeter was unsettled and his eyes glimmered. In his mind, he recalled the scene of Brent fighting this man. It was a vicious fight but could it be that this man had pulled his punches?

After a while, Demeter suddenly laughed, “Which meant to say that Brent was lucky then!”

He turned to look at the security monitor. At this moment, the camera could not see Jack at Prison Area No. 8. Jack had returned to the cell in Prison Area No. 9. From the security camera, Demeter could see Jack sitting next to Boombear and chatting about something.

Demeter’s eyes lit up, “You intend to fight ten matches in ten days. You are even more daring than Brent! I hope that you succeed. At least my friendship with Brent is not in vain.”

…

“Mr. Hughes, you must understand that tomorrow’s deathmatch is with the Prison Area No. 10’s Greedy Wolf. I’ve already made the necessary arrangements over there.” Boombear was smiling happily.

Jack smiled and nodded, “After the two deathmatches, if there is a way to control tomorrow’s match, I would have a day to recover.”

This was also what he anticipated. Once the deathmatch started in the black hell, the winner could choose the next challenger. Ten deathmatches in ten days were extremely stressful on the fighter. Jack could only use such ‘haphazard’ means to secure time for him to recuperate.

In such a high-stakes wager where life and death were on the balance, even one day of rest would be very beneficial to improving his condition.
