Winner Takes All novel Chapter 317

Steady as a mountain and raging like fire! Jack was quick as lightning.

He knew that whether it was due to the current state of his body or his current situation, he only had one chance to strike. It was now or never!

But, just as he dashed towards the person, a familiar face appeared before his eyes. Jack was startled. He released the fish scale line and then his right hand quickly tossed it away.

Whoosh! A high pitch whistle and the fish scale line wound back into the metal line.

“Mr. Ward?” Jack remarked in surprise and was in total disbelief, “Haven’t I asked you to go back?”

The abrupt situation also alarmed Mr. Ward considerably. With a deep breath, Mr. Ward endeavored to suppress his shock.

The old face smiled and said, “How can I bear to leave master alone?”

Jack was stunned and he felt extremely touched. His heart was still raging with fury. He looked beyond Mr. Ward and there were several men in suit. They were the protection guards! From one glance, all of them were injured in some way and their heads were covered with dust and soot. All the men in suits were rather battered up at this point.

Jack’s guilt surged and he said weakly, “I’m sorry everyone, thanks for covering for me and Brent to escape.”

In the battle at TM Hills, if it weren’t for the protection guards who fought valiantly, Jack and Brent would never have the chance to escape alive. It was with the intense suppressive fire of the guards that Jack and Brent could drive out and crush the three Deadpool Mercenaries during their escape.

Thud!

As soon as Jack spoke, all the protection guards knelt together. The corridor was filled with people and they said in unison, “Thanks, Master!”

Jack was stunned and surprised.

Mr. Ward smiled in admiration, “Master is a valiant and responsible leader, a true heir of the Hughes family.”

What did he mean? Jack was flabbergasted and looked dumbfounded at Mr. Ward. He even momentarily forgot about his injuries.

Mr Ward smiled and looked at those who knelt and said sternly, “All of your lives were saved by Young Master!”

“Yes!” All of them yelled gratefully.

“What is going on?” Jack didn’t understand what was going on and finally asked.

“Master. Just now when you took Chief and rushed out of the perimeter, you had drawn most of the attention of the Deadpool Mercenaries. That allowed us to stage a counter-attack.”

The guard who was closest to Jack reported, “Under the circumstances just now, if it wasn’t for Master’s break out move, we would have been decimated by the heavy weapons of Deadpool Mercenary. Master not only saved Chief, but you also saved all of us!”

Jack was speechless.

He didn’t expect it to turn out this way. But when he had penetrated the perimeter, he had hoped for this outcome. But that was the best outcome that he hoped for and to some degree it was self-consolation. Because he was already very lucky to have been able to save Brent.

It was impossible for him to save anyone else. The protection team was there to protect him. In the end, though he and Brent managed to escape, he felt guilty that he left them to fight for their own survival. His self consolation also enabled him to calm him down so that he could take Brent to safety.

But now… Jack felt as though he was dreaming. He took a deep breath.
