Winner Takes All novel Chapter 305

Knock knock!

Before the sun even risen, Jack and Amber were woke up by a hasty loud knock on the door.

Jack went to get the door and saw Brent and Mr. Ward standing at the doorway.

“Young Master, a big news, the Old Master Burton is dead!”

With a flustered face, Mr. Ward frowned and said in a low voice.

Dead?!

Jack was taken aback for a moment, then smirked, “That’s none of my business. I’m going back to sleep with Amber.”

“He was assassinated!”

Jack, who was just about to turn around and close the door, paused upon hearing this.

“Young Master, let’s talk about this downstairs. It’s complicated.” Mr. Ward’s hoarse voice was trembling.

Hesitated for a moment, Jack smiled and signaled Amber to go back to bed, and followed the duo down the stairs.

He didn’t bother at all how Old Master Burton died.

What bothered him was Mr. Ward’s reaction.

It was abnormal to see Mr. Ward, who was always calm and level-headed, trembling in his voice.

At the living room, Yael was sitting on the sofa in his pajamas, staring at his phone’s screen with a grim face.

“Why is even Yael here?”

Jack glanced at the clock. It was only 5 o’clock. Yael was supposed to be on his way back home from the night club at this hour.

Astonished, he looked at Brent and Mr. Ward, “What’s the big deal?”

“Young Master, Old Master Burton was assassinated. Isn’t that a big deal?”

Brent said frantically, “The capital city is in turmoil right now. The current wealthiest man in the city has been assassinated. This news is like an atomic bomb!”

Rubbing his nose, Jack smirked and sat on the sofa.

Leaning slackly, he yawned and put on a wry smile. “And what does that have to do with us?”

“Old Master Burton died in Tyson Hotel!” Brent said.

Jack was still indifferent at the matter.

As he was about to speak, Yael passed him the phone he was staring at the whole time they were talking.

“What Brent said wasn’t really the point. Take a look at this.”

Bewildered, Jack took the phone.

He got shocked the moment he laid eyes on the screen.

The interface was unusual compared to the normal website’s. It was designed with simplism in black and white. On the cover of the webpage was a blood-stained dagger.

The blood-red color was eye-catching on the black-and-white interface.

Jack involuntarily slid to the bottom of the webpage and saw a line of message dashing into his vision like a thunder.

【S-Rated Assassination Order! Target: Hughes Family’s Heir, DT Agency’s Owner, Jack Hughes!】

What the hell…

Jack felt an impulse to curse.

Why would there be an assassination order after me?

Brent and Mr. Ward were both seated at this moment.

Mr. Ward said, “Yael, I didn’t expect you can get your hands into the Dark Net!”

Dark Net?!

This got Jack’s attention.

It was the first time he heard this phrase.
