Winner Takes All novel Chapter 231

“Howl~”

“Howl~”

The coldness was piercing fiercely.

Jack bent his body and wrapped his hands around his chest. He was struggling forward.

The air breathed out from the mouth and nose immediately condensed into white mist.

The packet of rations and pot of water freed him from hunger and provided him the energy to struggle for survival.

The ice below him was slippery and he might have fallen to the ground if he did not pay attention.

Everything that he could see was only a piece of white scenery.

Even the reflection of sunlight made the whitish ice layers dazzling.

He could not feel any warmth but only endless coldness on his entire body.

Currently, Haya was extremely hot and Jack was wearing a shirt with short sleeves and shorts only when he was caught. But in this icy world now, he had no difference with people who wore nothing.

“Survive... I must survive...”

He muttered with his lips that had turned blue to show his determination.

“Amber... mom... Brent...”

He read aloud the name of his loved ones repeatedly because it seemed like it was the only way to bring Jack the desire of survival.

The piercing wind was like knives.

It was devastating in this white icy world.

Jack walked slowly and struggled to move forward.

Looking down from a height, he looked like an abandoned ant that was struggling for survival. He was only as small as a tiny black dot in this white icy ground.

Jack had no idea where to go.

However, he confirmed that Madam Hughes and the Quinn family did not have the intention to kill him.

But they treated him as trash and abandoned him at this frozen land. The punishment that he might face afterwards could be more terrifying than death.

If they just wanted to kill him, he had already become a corpse.

But, for survival.

Jack simply did not care about what was Madam Hughes and the Quinn family’s next plan.

What he terrified the most was that he had frozen and died on this icy land before reaching their plan.

If he survived, there were chances for him to make a reverse.

But if he died, it would be the end.

He did not care about how pitiful he was living, because since young, he had been relying on his mother for life. But, had he ever been pitiful?

Yes!

He was like stray dogs at the roadside, walking step by step from darkness to light.

And now, he just went back to the darkness.

His persistence made him let go of everything and even survived in any ways.

Amber was waiting for him to go back for the wedding.

Because of the three years waiting, he should not disappoint her.

His mom was still waiting for him to go back and to accompany her till old.

Because of twenty over years of nurture, he should accompany her.

...

Boom...

The ground was trembling.

There was a thunderous roar in the distance.

Jack stopped abruptly and stood rooted to the ground and he narrowed his eyes to look far away while ignoring the dazzling reflection of icy ground.

The overwhelming ice and snow rushed towards him.

The sky which was originally clear was dyed into plain white colour.

As if it was the beast escaping from a cage.

“Avalanche?!”

Jack’s heart twitched fiercely. Damn, how could there be an avalanche in such place?

How could the avalanche happen at this frozen ground without the accumulation of snow and this endless icy land?

Looking at the rushing of snow waves in the distance, Jack seemed to be pressed into the abyss of despair by an invisible hand.

Escaped?

Of course, he needed to escape!

But where could he escape?

Jack did not think much but turned around and ran towards the direction that he came from.

He was like a directionless fly but he did not plan to stop.

He would never wait for death to come.

Boom...
