Winner Takes All novel Chapter 324

Jack’s eyes lit up and he looked at the right side of the main door. The main doors of the Bamboo Grove were the ancient styled double wooden doors. It was unknown when someone carved a sentence across the door.

The bamboo grove was the most luxurious courtyard of the Four Impressions Club. Normally it would be immaculately maintained and it was impossible that these words were carved on the door without anyone noticing.

The message wrote: Ranked 18th on the Azrael List, Kotaro.

On closer inspection, Jack felt that the words seemed familiar. Suddenly there was a loud boom in his head.

Mengpo! Just now Mengpo was outside the door and carved the words?

“Master, come with us!” The protective guards tugged on Jack when they saw him in a daze.

Jack came to his senses and followed the guards out of the courtyard and ran towards another part of the Bamboo grove. But at this moment, his mind was racing with thoughts.

A killer ranked 18th on the Azrael list. No wonder Lone Wolf and many others were unable to stop him! An elite killer would find a way to reach him even if he was under tight protection. Just as Brent and two other killers who assassinated Rothschild.

But what puzzled him was, why did Mengpo carve those words to remind him? What was the purpose of that?

Was this proud woman keeping her pride even at this moment?

Was she reminding Jack and help him avoid the assassination so that she could eventually fight him?

Jack was in a daze but he moved quickly and he started to understand why Mengpo shot that arrow. If she meant to kill him, it would be almost impossible to avoid it. Come to think of it, that arrow felt more like a warning!

When he thought about it, Jack suddenly was amused by the irony of the situation. Lone Wolf and dozens of elite protection guards along with all the guards at the Four Impressions Club could not protect Jack. In the end, it was an assassin who came to kill him that gave him the warning?

Rustle…

The night breeze blew and the bamboo leaves in the courtyard rustled and fell in the wind. The surroundings became chilling. Their footsteps rustled as they stepped on the bamboo leaves.

The gunshots gradually diminished behind them.

“Master, it appears that it had been resolved!” The guard beside him smiled when he heard the gunshots tapering off.

Suddenly, thud!

In the darkness, a glint flashed by. The expression of the guard beside him froze and then collapsed onto the ground.

“Alert!” The remaining seven guards surrounded Jack and protected him all around.

Jack was stunned and looked at the guard in front of him. Fresh blood poured from his mouth. The guard fell onto the ground with a thud. Jack’s pupil constricted and a chill ran down his spine. He saw a ninja shuriken embedded into the spine of the guard. It was so deep that it exposed the spine!

Jack felt cold and was terrified. The night breeze blew and Jack shuddered from the chill. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the surroundings in fear. But apart from the rustling of the bamboo leaves, there weren’t other movements.

And now, the gunshots at the Bamboo Grove had suddenly stopped. The tensed atmosphere was like a big hand holding onto their necks and strangling them. In the silence, Jack’s back began to be drenched with cold sweat.

The seven protection guards were gripped with fear and were perspiring profusely. If it wasn’t for their professional background, it would be difficult for them to control their fear.

Rustle…

The bamboo leaves started to drift down.

Jack unconsciously looked up and narrowed his eyes. He looked beyond the falling bamboo leaves and then saw a black figure dashing past.

“On top!” Jack yelled.

Almost at the same time, the black figure traversed a curved path and towards the direction of their escape.
