Winner Takes All novel Chapter 188

“Young master, there are so many people…”

Brent’s eyes were sparkling with tears.

He was never afraid of killing someone, since the job of a mercenary was to kill or be killed. They never had a choice.

However, right in front of his eyes, these people made him hesitate.

“When they were pulling the trigger just now, they never thought of whether they would really end up killing us too.”

Jack’s words were able to vanquish all sort of indecisiveness in Brent.

The dilapidated Hummer let out a roar and ramped up its speed. It was careening towards the main hall of the old castle without letting up.

Everyone who was present in the hall had a look of shock on their faces.

“Oh my god, is this bastard crazy? Is he planning to bang into us like that?”

“My lord, please come to a decision now. Order the security guards to pull the trigger now! We can’t let this crazy dog in!”

“He deserves to die! The Burton family can’t tolerate such oppression!”

…

While they were shaking with fear, all members of the Burton family were also in a frenzied state.

As the wealthiest family in the capital, even for those who were not direct descendants of the main family, they always upheld their pride with the prestige on their side.

Their pride alone allowed them to get used to looming over ordinary people in the city.

On the other hand, Jack alone was able to bring down their arrogant attitude as he forcefully pulled them off the top of the clouds to the depths of muddy puddle.

For an affluent family like them, their dignity was even more important than their lives.

“Defend!”

Outside the hall, more than a dozen security personnel were standing in formation, ready to defend their base.

While being blasted by a bright ray of light, three of the security guards all raised the gun in their hands.

The muzzles of three jet-black guns were pointed at the incoming Hummer by avoiding the other people in between.

The air was electrified with an imminent clash threatening to break the silence!

In front of the hall, everything fell into silence and only the roaring sound of the engine of the Hummer could be heard.

From the looks of things, there was no sign of the Hummer slowing down, but rather it was picking up its speed with the increasing volume of the roar.

The few dozen security guards all had their brows furrowed as their faces looked grim. Some of them were even breaking out films of sweat of their foreheads.

This was actually the first time they were guarding the main fortress of the Burton family ever since they were first inducted into the family.

All sorts of complicated emotion that included terror, shock, confusion and anxiety were swirling in their hearts.

At the same time, Old Master Burton who was sitting in the main hall was exceptionally calm compared to the others.

He just watched the incoming Hummer and furrowed his brows. His sharp gaze resembled those of a venomous snake, and even his veins were bulging on his skin.

All the other members of the Burton family had finally settled down, but there was still an ominous air surrounding them.

A middle-aged man who was standing beside Old Master Burton said in a low voice, “Dad, this bastard is a maniacal betrayer. Let’s kill him!”

This man was Dyson, who was Old Master Burton’s eldest son. In terms of prestige and reputation, he was only second to the old master himself.

“Hmph!”

With a cold snort, Old Master Burton took a step forward with determination in his eyes.

Dyson immediately felt ecstatic, and there was a murderous gaze in his eyes.

He was the eldest son of the Burton family, and his status in the family was only second to the head of the family.

If nothing out of the ordinary happened, he would be the next head of the family!

Only by being the head of the Burton family, he could enjoy all the wealth and resources in the family. To him, it was the most honorable title to hold.

However, his father somehow changed his mind a while ago and decided to let his damned younger sister’s son to be the next head.

When he learnt of this news, he could feel endless anger surging from within.

He had been waiting for his chance for a decade. He had been waiting for his father to drop dead so that he could grasp the throne of the family for himself.

How could he allow an illegitimate child who didn’t even bear the family name to be the head of the family?

Dyson tried to convince his father to change his mind, but to his surprise, his father had a will of steel.

With seemingly no solution to his predicament, he didn’t expect that Jack would go up against the Burton family all by himself.

“You’re the one looking for death, so don’t blame me for assisting you on your journey!”

As he watched the approaching Hummer and that face behind the steering wheel which had traces of Sophie’s appearance, he could only feel his murderous sense getting stronger by the minute.

Despite that, Old Master Burton suddenly shouted, “Everyone, get out of the way!”

With a loud bang sounding off in his head, Dyson could feel his body tremble all over. His facial expression started to distort.

His one sentence alone came as a major shock to everyone who heard him!
