Winner Takes All novel Chapter 149

The wind was mellow and the sun was just the right glow.

On a path in the middle of the woods, the lush foliage was surrounding them.

After resting for two hours, Jack began his hellish training with Brent.

It was not that he wasn’t tired at all.

He was just very aware of the gap between those elites of the Hughes family and him. In order to be the triumphant one in the upcoming power struggle, he had no other choice other than put in one hundred percent of his hard work.

This was his motto ever since he was young.

He would look up at the peak of the mountain while also taking care of where he was stepping on. He knew that he only needed to work his hardest and leave the rest to God.

After his strenuous training, Jack who was now bathed in sweat was collapsed on a long bench in the park. He was heaving heavy breaths at the moment.

He was exhausted after his hellish training.

However, this was exactly the aim of his training. Only when he had pushed his body to its limits, his body was only able to elevate itself.

Brent was equally exhausted with sweat covering the entirety of his skin, but he was in a much better state compared to Jack.

He was naked from the waist up and his muscles were bulging with a brownish glow. They were practically shining under the glow of the sun.

“Young master…” Brent suddenly began.

Jack twisted up his brows and looked at Brent.

Brent was obviously struggling to spit out his words from the way he looked, but finally he said, “I want to help Daisy.”

Jack suddenly laughed.

“Haven’t you already helped her last night?”

Brent shook his head and said, “No, I mean, I want to give her a home. I want to give her a home where she can live freely without getting weighed down by familial ties.”

Familial ties?

Jack frowned and asked, “What does Daisy say about this?”

He never experienced what Daisy had gone through, so naturally he wouldn’t understand how it did feel to be bogged down by familial ties.

However, after learning of Daisy’s past, it was undisputable that Daisy was definitely adversely affected by his good-for-nothing father.

The best sensible solution to her problem was to sever the bond between her and her father. She should do that to protect herself.

However, familial ties always ran far and deep. No amount of rationality would be able to make giving up on one easier.

“She has already made up her mind.”

Brent replied with a determined look in his eyes.

“Anything I can help you with?”

Jack wasn’t surprised by Brent’s answer as he offered to help.

After all, as a father, he could do something like offering her daughter to his debtors as their plaything just to pay off his debt. Daisy was able to make up her mind to sever her bond with such a father, and for Jack, it was not surprising at all.

“Not at the moment. I just thought that I need to inform you of my decision.”

Jack nodded, “Then you should go ahead and help Daisy. Just tell me if you need anything. You don’t have to be polite with me considering that we are family.”

After getting sufficient rest, Jack got up and headed in the direction of his home.

Brent was being left behind and he was rooted to the spot while muttering, “Family…”

Under the shine of the twilight glow, Brent revealed a wide grin.

Then, he chased after Jack.

After breakfast, Jack immediately rushed to DT real estate agency.

Seeing that the housing prices of West Shantytown houses were rising steadily, what the DT real estate agency needed to do was to let things develop on its own and waited for the right moment to remove the limitations of the selling units and go all out on their sales.

This was why Jack had a lot of work to do.

In the coming week, the housing prices continued to rise steadily and the potential of the houses continued to be explored.

The QY International Group and the YK Group decided to establish their branches in the city almost at the same time, and this decision caused a frenzy among the citizens.

The trend of the prices didn’t falter and instead it was still rising steadily despite the fact that housing prices had seemed to stagnate.

All the employees of DT real estate agency were full of vigor and confidence in this period of rising housing prices.

Every day at work, all the employees would talk about how much housing prices had risen in the previous day!

Under Jack’s deliberate policy, the four housing areas only opened fifty units for sales every day which was a modest rate.

Everything seemed to be under control and proceeding smoothly towards his goal.

One day at night, Jack returned home after a busy day at work.

He was surprised that his mother wasn’t home at that time.
