The scene in front of Jack made all his hair stand on end.
Ghost, being ranked tenth on the Azrael list, was able to knock out everyone without making a sound. If it wasn’t for his uncle’s presence, Jack would already be dead.
Jack quickly summoned the people to send them to LJ hospital. Thank goodness that they were only knocked unconscious and their lives were not in danger.
In the patient’s room, Jack sat next to the unconscious Amber feeling guilty. He never expected all the layers of protection to be so ineffective! He took a deep breath and looked at the unconscious Amber. His heart ached as he gently stroked Amber’s cheeks and said, “I’m so sorry that I was unable to protect you.”
In the evening, most of them had regained their consciousness. Under the instructions of Director Lansing, everyone was reexamined, and only when they all were determined to be healthy did Jack heave a sigh of relief.
It was already eight in the evening when everything was settled.
After dinner, Jack sat beside Amber’s bed and cut some apples for her. Amber looked at Jack and said, “No need for this, you are still injured and should be resting.”
“It’s just cutting an apple, it won’t take much effort.” Jack cut the apple into small pieces and then served them to Amber, “Can’t I pamper my wife?”
Amber felt very touched as she took over the pieces of apple and started to eat them.
The television was turned on and the evening news was being broadcast. Initially, the television was turned on to kill the silence in the room but very soon a news segment caught Jack’s attention. It was reported that some mercenaries were captured in the city. There was a video of the actual assault to capture them. According to the news, they were from Deadpool Mercenary!
Jack was shocked to see this news. Were those Deadpool Mercenaries who had escaped been captured just like that? The battle at TM Villa almost decimated Jack and the protection guards. He had been anticipating the return of those escaped Deadpool mercenaries to launch another assassination attempt on him. He didn’t expect that episode to conclude just like that.
“Hubby, they don’t look like they had been captured by that assault team!” Amber suddenly said.
Jack came to his senses and looked at Amber.
Amber pointed at the television and said, “Just now I saw that they had already been bound when the assault took place.”
What?! Jack was shocked and quickly looked at the television but the news had already gone to another topic.
Jack quickly took out his phone and searched for the news. The internet would be reporting the same news.
He finally found it! Jack’s eyes lit up as he clicked on the link for the video to play.
Thereafter he showed it to Amber and very soon, Amber highlighted, “It’ll show up very soon. Just as the camera goes into the room.”
As soon as she said, Jack quickly paused the video. He inspected carefully and started to frown tightly. Just as Amber said, the Deadpool Mercenaries had already been subdued and bound as they waited for the assault team.
“Who did this?” Jack placed his cell phone down and pondered.
It was obvious that someone had subdued the mercenaries and then waited for the police to arrest them. It was definitely not an easy task to subdue a team of bloodthirsty mercenaries. If it was so easy to take them down, he would have sent Yael and Jim to settle them. But then Jack could only think of one possibility.
He turned and looked at Amber, “Do you think that Uncle Brown did it?”
Amber was stunned and maintained her silence because Uncle Brown indeed was capable of doing it. Jack’s thoughts started to surge as his eyes lit up. He wondered what were the reasons for Brown to leave the black hell. But if Brown really caught the Deadpool Mercenaries, then the kill order sent out by the Assassin Squad might have a new development!
Jack was overjoyed when he thought of this. Even with his temperament, he couldn’t help but grab Amber’s hand tightly with excitement.
