Winner Takes All novel Chapter 339

“The Assassin death squad top killer, Ghost!” Mr. Ward looked doubtful as he said.

Ghost?! Jack shuddered and immediately revealed a shocked expression. But how could it be?

“Can’t be, Ghost was here last week and was that man who was covered with cloth straps!” Jack’s voice stuttered. Even with his temperament, he was unable to control the horror he felt, “Mr. Ward actually all of you had met him but he knocked you all unconscious. It was Uncle Brown who scared him off. How could he have gone to kill my father?”

Jack was immediately filled with doubts. The kill order commissioned by the Burton family had targeted him. When Ghost failed to kill him, why did he go on to kill his father?

That was bullshit! Even if the Assassin Squad was retarded, they could not have issued a ridiculous addendum to that order!

“Master, I was equally shocked when I found out about this. The family is investigating this and we still do not know the reasons for this.” Mr. Ward looked doubtfully at Jack.

When the Assassin Squad issued the hit order on Jack, it had initially been kept secret. However, a third party intentionally leaked the order outside of the dark net and caused normal people to be enticed by the prize money for killing Jack.

Now, Ghost who had given up on killing Jack turned around to make an assassination attempt on the head of the Hughes family. Even Mr. Ward who had experienced so much was dumbfounded by such a turn of events.

Jack’s gaze glimmered and the vein at the corner of his eyes continued to throb but he could not find answers to his doubts.

Suddenly he raised his head and asked, “Who killed Ghost? Father had already sent the best guards to protect me, the remaining guards could not possibly kill Ghost!”

He had personally witnessed the horrific abilities of Ghost. The most elite guards were led by Brent and Daisy who were ranked 23rd and 20th on the Azrael list and yet were knocked unconscious by Ghost silently. It was impossible for the normal guards to stop a killer of such abilities.

Even if his father had formed another elite unit of protection guards after sending his best to Jack it was still not possible for them to handle Ghost! Furthermore, the current situation was Ghost was killed while his father was just injured. Jack was certain that no security team in the entire world was able to do this.

“I don’t know.” Mr. Ward shook his head as he looked down trying his best to hide his horror. He said slowly, “Old master had only told me this and instructed me to take good care of you. But I feel that there was more than meets the eye. I think that master needs to come with me back to the Hughes residence.”

“Go to the Hughes residence?” Jack frowned.

“I disagree!” Amber said sharply.

Jack and Mr. Ward turned to look at Amber.

Amber’s beautiful face was very serious as she said solemnly, “You silly fool, it’s too dangerous for you to go back to the Hughes residence! Every member of the Hughes family regards you as a thorn in their flesh. If you go back now, everyone will attack you immediately.”

Jack did not retort as Amber’s concerns were reasonable and could even be worse than what Amber thought.

Now that his father was injured, he no longer had control over the family. Madam Hughes would naturally take over control and if he was to go to the Hughes residence, it would be like walking into a lion’s den.

“Master, you should decide on this.” Mr. Ward said.

How could Mr. Ward not see the dangers that Amber was concerned about? The garden suddenly became quiet and tense. Jack stood in place with his fists clenched. On one side was his wife’s objection while on the other side was his injured father and a puzzling assassination case.

How should he choose?

“Hubby, please calm down.” Amber grabbed Jack’s arm and said, “Furthermore, the kill order by the assassin squad is still active. If you go, not only you have to face up to the Hughes family, you’ll still have the risk of being assassinated.”
