The night was as cold as water.
Mr. Ward and Brent finally returned to the Four Impressions Club.
Jack did not wake Amber who was still sleeping, and quietly signaled Mr. Ward and Brent to walk into the yard.
From beginning to end, both Mr. Ward and Brent's faces were full of gloom, extremely solemn.
"Tell me what happened."
After they seated, Jack asked calmly.
Mr. Ward and Brent looked at each other, and then Mr. Ward spoke slowly.
The more Jack heard, the more he was frowning.
There were no ups and downs, no bloody fights.
To be precise, when Mr. Ward and Brent brought the security team back to the Hughes house, the assassination was already over.
The murderer was shot dead by the Hughes family's security personnel, but his father was missing.
There was nothing remarkable, as if it was an ordinary assassination that couldn't be more ordinary.
But in such an ordinary assassination, his father got lost within the Hughes house.
After listening to them, Jack let out a breath, "Have you even looked for my dad?"
"We did, Young Master." Mr. Ward's old eyes were filled with doubts, "The Hughes family had checked all the locations, but there was no trace of the old Master."
Brent also added, "Yes, when we arrived, the assassination was actually over. The Hughes family, including Madame Hughes, had already sent a large number of servants and security personnel to search, but the old Master was missing. There was no clue."
After a pause, Brent said, "Besides, there was only one assassin and no accomplices."
"Interesting." Jack sneered, his eyes flashing coldly.
Mr. Ward and Brent also frowned.
This assassination was incredible.
Patrick's disappearance was incredible.
"Was there anything unusual about Madame Hughes?" Jack asked suddenly, raising his eyebrows.
"No."
Mr. Ward shook his head, "The Hughes family is now a mess. Madame Hughes is more anxious than anyone else. The old Master is missing. The Hughes family is now without a leader. This matter was suppressed by Madame Hughes herself. If it gets out, it won't be favorable for the Hughes family."
The Hughes family dominated the world's wealthy ones, standing high in the clouds overlooking all others.
Even the wealthy families were no different than ants in the eyes of the Hughes family.
The head of the family disappeared so suddenly. Once it got out, it will definitely cause turmoil within their territory, and even make news in the world.
The Hughes family didn't dare to bear such a price!
Jack wrinkled his brows tightly, his mind seemed to be in a mess.
The disappearance of his father was indeed fortunate while being in an unfortunate situation, at least they could temporarily prove that he was all right.
But he was missing, this was still not good news.
The only thing he could be sure of was that the person who assassinated his father and the person who helped to assassinate him were the same, or the same power.
Otherwise, they had no clue!
"Young Master, rest assured for the time being."
Mr. Ward reminded softly, "The Hughes family will try their best to find the old Master. The head of the family is missing is making them more anxious than anyone else. Not only will they lose face but it will also affect the big interests. The most urgent matter, Young Master, is still the one year limit."
"Thanks for your hard work, go and rest."
Jack nodded, and managed to squeeze a smile.
While looking at Mr. Ward and Brent returning to the house, he felt helpless.
Scratching his head irritably, Jack tried to suppress his messy thoughts.
Now all he could do was to pray that this matter was not a conspiracy controlled by the insiders of the Hughes family.
He was about to get up when he received phone call.
Ciara was calling!
During the horror of the assassination mission, the Vaughn and Wattson families helped a lot. Simply trying to suppressing the mission to get out of the dark web and into the internet took a lot of effort.
Now that the dust had settled, Jack was also grateful to the Vaughn and Wattson families.
After answering the phone, Ciara laughed and said, "Congratulations, Mr. Hughes, you are out of danger."
