Winner Takes All novel Chapter 323

“It’s not Mengpo!” Lone wolf said solemnly.

Jack and Mr. Ward were startled but they didn’t remain and got up to leave the bedroom. Jack’s room was facing the cliff. If the assassin was at the cliff ledge, it would be a perfect position to take a shot at Jack.

After they arrived at the living room, Lone Wolf turned and left with the guards towards the cliff.

Jack and Mr. Ward looked at each other.

Jack frowned and said, “Mr. Ward, can a regular assassin think of going to the cliff ledge?”

“In the eighteen attempts this week, none happened from the cliff.” Mr. Ward shook his head and said, “Even if a regular killer thought of doing that, they may not have the guts and skills to descent to the cliff ledge.”

Jack remained silent.

Indeed, the cliff ledge was facing his bedroom and was the prime spot to kill him. However, the ledge was tens of meters from the top as well as from the bottom.

It was a very dangerous position.

Only the elite assassins would think of all the contingencies and escape routes before selecting that location. For an assassin, his escape route was the top priority, and killing the target was the second priority. It was obvious that there were no good escape paths from the cliff ledge.

“Could it be the death squad assassins had participated again?” Jack frowned tightly.

“Perhaps not.” Mr. Ward shook his head, “Each day I would follow the hit orders made by Dark Net Assassin Squad. There is no one except Mengpo, unless…”

Mr. Ward suddenly paused at this point.

It wasn’t until Jack looked at him did he say slowly, “Unless someone in between relayed the order to the Top 100 killers. The Dark Net Assassin Squad has its means to identify the killers and monitor them. That’s why when any killer accepts the order, their ID would be displayed, unless there is a middle man.”

Just as they were discussing, some gunshots and shouts came from the direction of the cliff ledge. Jack and Mr. Ward looked simultaneously in the direction of the sounds. Lone Wolf and the protection guards were already in a confrontation with the killer.

“Then I’m curious if this killer was one of the Top 100 killers.” Jack rubbed his nose and laughed.

Within a week, assassination attempts were thwarted one by one under the tight security of the protection guards. The success of the guards started to give Jack the confidence compared to the uncertainty that he felt initially.

Bang bang bang…

The gunshots continued and the fighting was intense and there were yells of agony.

“Are there casualties?” Jack frowned and his expression darkened, “Eighteen assassinations in a week and finally someone is injured.”

In this one week, the protection guards had responded to eighteen attacks, and each time they displayed their terrifying combat abilities without any casualties. It was with this that Jack realized how capable his father’s protection team was. The battle at TM Hills was obviously an exception.

“Master, let’s retreat to safety. Somehow I have the feeling that it’s different this time.” Mr. Ward said when he heard the intense gun battle outside.

Jack nodded and just as both of them stood up.

Whoosh! A loud whistle sounded.

“Careful, Mr. Ward!” Jack’s expression changed drastically as he lunged to grab Mr. Ward.

He saw an arrow whizzing by.

Twang! The arrow struck the wall and its bolt vibrated on impact.
