The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine) novel Chapter 972

The chilling wind was sharp like knives.

Thick and heavy snow hurled towards the skies.

The slave convoy moved slowly, going around the Skyline Mountain to reach The Hun Royal Palace behind of Skyline Mountain.

The slave convoy had been moving around the snow plains for years, and they were familiar with the surroundings. They rather take a longer distance and go around the Skyline Mountain, instead of going into the Skyline Mountain and facing the unknown dangers.

The convoy moved forward.

The bells were still chiming.

As for the children inside the prison cages, they all hugged together, trembling in fear. Their eyes panicked with helplessness and lifelessness…

As a native in the foreign region, even though they were still young, they knew what would become of them.

However, they were intimidated by the surrounding foreign men, unable to resist, and could only wait helplessly for their cruel destiny.

Jack was thrown inside one of the prison cages. Because of his adult size, all the other children had to curl up in a corner. They were all looking strangely at the fainted Jack who was lying in another corner.

Suddenly.

A little girl mustered up her courage and moved a step forward from her companions.

She was six to seven years old, with a ponytail on her head. Her head was covered with a piece of black cloth to block the wind and snow, and her face was dirty. Her cheeks were chilled and redden, even some parts of her face were cracked. But her eyes were clear and dark and looked like a diamond, shining bright in the dark.

But now, with a slight worry, she looked at Jack who was still unconscious.

“Amanda, come back!”

Among the children, a teenage boy called out to her.

He was obviously taller than most of the children and was slightly sturdier. He curled up among the children and looked as if he was their leader.

"Brother, will he freeze to death?"

The girl who was called Amanda turned her head around and blinked while she sniffed her nose.

She and the teenage boy were siblings.

She was small and weak. But because of her brother's protection, she could stay safe and hide among the other children.

"He will definitely freeze to death. It's so cold around here."

The boy replied coldly, "Faster come back. Don't care about him. If he freezes to death, it's also his destiny. I don't want anything to happen to you."

“But…”

Amanda looked at Jack hesitantly, and turned back to her brother, "Brother, We... can we try and save him?"

“Save him?”

The boy frowned and looked at the unconscious Jack, feeling a little detested.

He and his sister had become slaves, and all he could do was protect her and let her stay safe, and not freeze to death.

The law of survival on the snow plain was that cruel and simple.

If he had to protect another person, especially an adult, he didn't know if he was capable of doing it or not.

When the boy was thinking in silence.

The girl wiped the mucus from her nose, her pure and clear eyes filled with tears, and said pitifully, "Brother, please. Mum taught us to be kind-hearted. Now that mum and dad are not here anymore, and we have already become like this, he's also the same as us. If we don't help him, he's going to die."

“Kind-hearted?”

The boy's heart ached painfully, and he suddenly showed a detested face. He scolded the little girl, "Amanda, we are here right now because of our kindness! There is no kindness in the big snow plains. Come back right now!"

“Brother…”

Amanda was still begging.

But the boy's face was furious, "Come here, right now!"

Facing her stern and irrefutable brother, tears started rolling out from the corner of Amanda's eyes. She didn't dare to say anything else and moved slowly towards the crowd of children.

As Amanda approached her brother, the boy suddenly drew his hands out and pulled her to the centre. He hugged her, attempting to pass her some warmth, then said deeply, "Amanda, remember, don't be too kind-hearted. It won't do you any good. Father and mother were too kind-hearted, and that's why our village got defeated."

His words were strong and heavy, full of resentment and aversion.
