The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine) novel Chapter 987

The fierce cursing sound was like a thunderstorm.

Jack’s face abruptly darkened.

“It must be the people who were robbed coming after us. Amanda, come with me!”

In an instant, Jack had a decision in his mind.

But just as he got up, Amanda who was in his arms suddenly turned around and jumped to the boy’s corpse. She hugged it tightly while bawling, “No, Amanda won’t go. Amanda wants to stay with my elder brother…”

Jack’s face changed greatly. He was so anxious that he was like a cat on hot bricks.

Outside the alley, the sounds of footsteps were getting closer and closer and they were very dense, which meant that there were many people.

In addition to the sounds of footsteps, there were also sounds of cursing.

Jack knew clearly that with the current state of him and Amanda, once they were really caught by those people, they would not be far from death.

Even when those people killed them, they would also throw them like throwing dead dogs directly to the street corner and would definitely not attract a lot of attention.

If they did not run now, it would be too late!

In a flash of lightning, Jack even saw that the shadows of the group of people had arrived at the entrance of the valley.

“Amanda, come with me. Your elder brother is thinking to let you survive and let me protect you so that you can live!” Jack urged.

“I’m not going, I want to stay with my elder brother.”

Amanda’s tear-filled face was now filled with determination and stubbornness.

At her age, after suffering continuous blows, she had already completely broken down at this point so how would she care if she would be caught by those people.

“You…”

Jacob’s face darkened. He braced himself to take a step forward, “Those people are almost at the entrance of the alley. If you don’t go with me now, we’ll all die here. Your elder brother won’t want to see this.”

Amanda subconsciously looked back at the entrance of the alley.

Bang!

Almost simultaneously, there was a muffled sound in the alley.

The body of Amanda who was stubborn and determined stiffened. Her eyes closed and she fell into the arms of Jack who had been ready.

Jack loosened his right palm to slightly let go of the knife. The resolution in his eyes also turned into sympathy.

He looked at the boy at the corner and said firmly, “Don’t worry, in the future, as long as I live, I’ll protect Amanda with my life.”

His tone was strong and firm as if it was an oath.

Then, Jack barely supported himself to stand up. His hands dragged Amanda who was knocked out towards the other side of the alley. When he passed by the package, he hesitated and then stuffed all the things into the package and took them away together.

These things…were necessities for them that were obtained by Amanda’s elder brother who had sacrificed his life!

Water and food were the basis for them to live in this cold weather.

And there were clothes too. Although Jack was not good at identifying clothes, compared to the rags on his body, these obviously could make a big difference in his and Amanda’s appearance.

The items that were obtained by the boy with his life would never be a useless thing!

It was lucky that Jacob had eaten just now so he had recovered a bit. At this time, although Jack was using all his strength to barely drag Amanda and the package, he was not as before in which he could not even move.

Behind him, the sounds of footsteps and fierce curses were becoming clearer and clearer.

Jack had been sweating profusely. He was also continuously panting. While his chest was rising and falling, there was also a kind of burning and tearing pain.

But Jack did not dare to stop. He firmly gazed at the entrance of the alley not far away.

He had promised Amanda’s elder brother that he would protect Amanda and let her live well.

His life was given by Amanda and her elder brother too.

“I’ll make it, we can definitely go out!”

This was the only thought in Jack’s mind.

His footsteps were getting heavier and heavier while his breathing was getting more and more vigorous and rapid.

Behind him, the sounds of cursing and footsteps became clearer and clearer like the sound of a fatal Sanskrit.

When Jack took Amanda out of the alley with all his strength, seven or eight figures appeared at the other side of the alley at the same time. The vast amounts of figures completely blocked the alley.

Thump!
