Winner Takes All novel Chapter 372

The Capital city was sleepless that night.

The wealthy and powerful families were churning. Some were surprised, some were ecstatic while others were enjoying the Burtons’ downfall. There were already some who were ready to capitalize on the decline of the Burton family. Although they were on the downfall, they were still sizeable and it would take some time.

Now, even the new head of the family, Dyson had fallen. This was a god-sent opportunity to deal a fatal blow to the Burton family. The entire Capital city was like the raging thunderstorm over the city now. All these were immaterial to Jack.

After leaving the hotel, they returned to their hotel where they stayed. He hated the Burton family but it was simply hatred. Initially, he could still endure his anger towards them.

But after the death of Old Master Burton, Dyson took over the family and placed a hit order on Jack through the Dark Net Assassin Squad. After this, there was no way he could be gracious towards them. The Burton family had to face the consequences of their foolishness.

Even if Dyson didn’t look for him, he would find an opportunity to deal with the Burton family. It was Dyson’s insanity that brought forward everything.

In the hotel room.

Brent was still stunned and have not recovered from Jack dodging the bullet. Mr. Ward also was helpless and sighed as he shook his head.

In the other room.

Jack sat quietly at the panel window looking at the thunderstorm raging over the Capital city. He softly murmured, “After this thunderstorm, I wonder if the skies over the Capital be clearer?”

“I’ll get another room.” Yael suddenly stood up and was filled with joy.

Jack was stunned and looked at Yael, “Can you still perform after being beaten just now?”

“I’m young and strong. What’s an iron pipe?” Yael said nonchalantly.

Jack rubbed his nose, “You’re not that young anymore. If you think that she’s suitable, then consider it.”

Yael stopped smiling. He lit a cigarette and started smoking.

“Do you think that I’m worthy?” He softly muttered and looked at Jack, “I killed my father. With such a dark reputation, how would others see her if I marry her?”

“Then why do you keep getting involved with her?” Jack asked.

Yael shrugged and ruffled his hair in frustration, “That’s why I said that I’ve overdone it this time!” As he said, he exhaled the smoke and looked outside at the thunderstorm as he sighed, “Enough, she should have arrived.”

Jack smiled bitterly as he looked at Yael turn to leave. But this was Yael’s private matters and he couldn’t interfere. He could only stand by his friend and advise him.

The night was uneventful.

The next morning.

Ciara rushed to the hotel early in the morning to explain and apologize for what had happened last night.

Jack didn’t blame it on her. Even he did not anticipate it and he could understand that Ciara wouldn’t as well. Who could have thought that Dyson would be so brazen? That the new head of the once mighty Burton family would resort to such a desperate move. A more level-headed person would not use such an insane method.

Jack didn’t wish to stay at the Capital a moment longer and left with Mr. Ward and Brent. Jack didn’t consider getting Yael to go back with them. It was inconsiderate to interrupt Yael at this moment.

On the airplane.

Mr. Ward teased, “Master Hughes must be missing missus to be so anxious to go back.”
