Winner Takes All novel Chapter 332

It was tranquil and peaceful at the Bamboo grove.

Jack was barely able to sit up. With Amber’s help, he was able to sit onto the wheelchair and proceeded to the living hall. Amber made a pot of exquisite Longjing tea and lit some incense while Brent and Mr. Ward waited quietly at one side.

The atmosphere was calm and peaceful.

“They should be back soon, right?” Jack asked as he sipped some tea.

“They were gone for half an hour and should be back soon.” Mr. Ward nodded.

Jack smiled and placed down the teacup, “I didn’t expect that it had just been three days and the Reaper’s Scythe has arrived again. Who is it this time?”

“Master, it’s number 72 on the Azrael list.” Mr. Ward said.

Jack laughed with disdain, “I wonder if he will shit in his pants when he saw Daisy!”

Daisy was not severely injured. Her fighting abilities were still strong although it was slightly affected by her injuries.

It was clear that Lone Wolf was inexperienced in handling such situations. Though the protection guards worked well with each other, they lack a leader to ensure that they were effective in coordinating their capabilities. The assassination attempt by Kotaro was the best example of this shortcoming. But now, Daisy could become the leader that the guards needed.

Whether was it out of respect for Brent or based on her capabilities, the protection guards were willing to abide by her instructions.

As soon as they said, footsteps could be heard from outside.

Daisy and Lone Wolf walked in soon after.

“Mr. Hughes, it’s been settled.” Daisy reported calmly, “During the counter strike, I sensed that there is someone else in the shadows. It must be the other one on the Azrael list. But after the counter strike, that killer must have escaped.”

“With Daisy around, that killer must have been scared out of his wits.”

Jack smiled calmly and was hardly surprised. Although Daisy’s “Mengpo” identity was well hidden, her skills were clearly displayed. It was normal for one of the two killers on the bottom of the Azrael list, who combined for the assassination attempt, to turn and run when he saw Daisy killing one of the top killers.

“Mr. Hughes has a good sense of humor.” Daisy was steady and calm. Her courage and determination were clear to everyone. It was hard to imagine that the Daisy in front of them was the cheerful and meek Daisy who had been busy with daily housework just days ago.

Jack rubbed his nose and said, “So now the top killer we know of is left with Ghost.”

On hearing this, everyone’s expression darkened. The two killers on the bottom of the list were not of concern to them. With the capabilities of the protection guards, only the killers on the top of the Azrael list could pose as a threat to Jack’s life.

Ghost… was a killer they could not belittle! Someone who was ranked tenth on the Azrael list must be far more deadly than Kotaro. What was far more alarming was the only ones who could take on Ghost were Brent and Daisy of whom one was still in the wheelchair while the other had slight injuries.

As for the protection guards, Jack, Mr. Ward, and Amber all understood that all the high-tech systems and weapons were useless when a truly skilled killer came for them. Just as in the encounter with Kotaro.

“Mr. Ward, is there any news from my father?” Jack asked as he narrowed his eyes.

Mr. Ward hesitated and then said, “Master, as I expected, these assassination attempts didn’t seem to have any signs of Madam Hughes’ involvement.”

“Who could it be if not her?” Jack rubbed his nose and pondered deeply.

Just at this moment, Jack received a call from an unknown caller.
