Winner Takes All novel Chapter 361

Whop whop whop…

The whirling of the helicopter rotors could be heard in the sky. The helicopters started to stir the surrounding air.

What alarmed Jack was there wasn’t just one helicopter in the air but there were… three helicopters!

Slung under each helicopter was a cargo container. The helicopters hovered in the air and slowly lowered the containers. The entire scene was extremely shocking. It drew attention from all around and everyone was shocked.

After all, apart from Patrick’s personal protection guards, the security guards at the Four Impressions Club and the other people had never seen such a display.

Jack said, “Is this sending gifts or moving house?”

“Old Master Hughes had always been generous and he would not hold back for his son, daughter-in-law, and grandchild.”

Mr. Ward laughed radiantly as he narrowed his eyes, “Actually I feel that Old Master Hughes was rather stingy. When he goes outside for business dealings, he had always been far more generous!”

“Like gifting an oil field?” Jack thought about the time Mr. Ward said about this.

“Yeah.” Mr. Ward nodded.

But Amber who was in Jack’s embrace was so shocked that she was covering her mouth with her hands and holding back her screams. Even with her family background, she had never seen anyone sending gifts in such a manner.

Thud, thud, thud.

Finally, at the direction of a specialist, the three containers were placed on the ground. The middle-aged man in charge of the delivery ran forward with a folder in his hands.

“Master and Missus Hughes.” The middle-aged man smiled and greeted respectfully. Thereafter he opened the folder in his hands.

Jack’s eyes lit up when he realized that the folder was a list of the gifts. He was stunned and looked at Mr. Ward, “Is there a need to announce the gifts?”

“Yes, yes.” Mr. Ward nodded.

The middle-aged man loudly announced the gifts.

“Thousand year old ginseng, ten.”

“Golden grain wooden bed, one set.”

One by one the gifts were announced by the middle-aged man.

Jack watched in surprise with his eyes wide open while Amber was full of shock. Even if each gift was not astronomical in value, they were extremely expensive.

The onlookers continued to remark with surprise and shock. So this was how the rich show off! Yeah, this must be it.

The long list was read like a book. The middle-aged man read out the first page and continued to read the second page.

Slowly, the onlookers kept silent and became petrified and stared in awe.

Jack could not take it anymore when the middle-aged man announced loudly, “Quad Courtyard dwelling in the Capital City, one unit.”

He quickly shouted for the man to stop. Just the gifts announced so far already exceeded one billion yuan in value. These gifts were far too much!

“Master Hughes, what’s wrong?” The middle-aged man looked puzzled at Jack. He looked at the folder and said, “I have three more pages to go.”

Three pages?! The veins at the corner of Jack’s eyes throbbed while Amber who was in his embrace shuddered.

“Enough enough, don’t read out the rest. Let’s keep it low profile.” Jack said while sounding upset. He didn’t like to flaunt their wealth.

What was a place like the capital? It’s at the feet of the Emperor and where the dragons and tigers dwelt. Realty prices were the peak of the country. The cost of a quad courtyard dwelling was astronomical. This type of gift was already announced on the first page of the list. Who knows what his father had for them towards the end of the list!
