After checking into the Hotel, Yael excused himself and left. Jack didn’t mind and smiled in reply. Yael’s intentions were abundantly clear. Except that Yael always denied and there was no need for Jack to expose him.
After he placed his suitcase in the room, Mr. Ward and Brent also rushed over.
Mr. Ward laughed when he found out that Yael had left, “Yael kept saying that he doesn’t want but his body was more truthful.”
Jack and Brent looked at Mr. Ward.
“Mr. Ward, what are you talking?” Brent asked doubtfully.
Mr. Ward blushed when he reacted to Brent and then changed the subject, “Master Hughes, what do you intend to do during the movie industry conference tonight?”
Jack was noncommittal, smiled, and said, “The thunder and rain are given to all with grace. Let’s see how the Burton family chooses.”
“Due to the Burton family’s assassination order, the prize money of a billion USD was embezzled by the Assassin Squad. Without this money to facilitate cash flow, the already declining Burton family was just hastening its downfall.”
Mr. Ward shook his head and sighed, “Even if they don’t provoke you, they would be quickly devoured by the Capital’s tycoons. Now their actions are like a cornered beast. They want to take a bite at you before they die.”
“Apart from Old Master Burton, the rest of them are truly fools,” Jack said sharply without mincing his words.
…
At that moment at the Burton family ancient castle.
The Burton ancient castle had lost the magnificence of the earlier days. The moment they kidnapped Sophie and after they were bombed by Jack and Patrick was the turning point of the Burton family. From then on, the Burton family seemed to be on a decline like an avalanche. The assassination order then became the straw that broke the starving camel’s back.
The entire Burton Ancient Castle seemed to reek of death. There no longer were visiting guests. The tycoons of the capital know that the Burton family’s days were numbered. Perhaps those former guests had secretly sharpened their swords.
Thunder clapped and lightning flashed as it started to rain heavily. The skies and the earth became intertwined.
Dyson sat next to the panel window looking at the heavy rain outside.
“It is raining heavily.” Dyson suddenly muttered with a clearly fatigued voice, “The Capital is good for everything except that the weather changes too quickly. It could be sunny one moment and downpour the next.”
Knock knock knock! Someone knocked on the door.
“Enter!” Dyson was tired but he remained cold and sinister.
The door opened and a middle-aged man entered.
He looked at Dyson and asked, “Sir, do you really want to go?”
“Would you be satisfied if you don’t seek this revenge?” Dyson coldly asked, “Dad just died. Do you wish that he died with no justice?”
“But our family is already…” The middle-aged man was devastated.
Dyson slowly stood up and scoffed, “Exactly for this reason we have nothing to lose. Have you prepared the men that I asked for?”
The middle-aged man looked at Dyson with horror. Dyson’s transformation had been huge in just a few days. Ever since that day when he raged furiously, vomited blood, and fainted, he was a changed man when he regained his consciousness.
He was crazy and violent. He would be unpredictable and raged violently, causing everyone to be on edge.
“They’ve been arranged.” The middle-aged man nodded, “But would this be escalating the matter till it became too big?”
