Winner Takes All novel Chapter 393

6 o'clock in the evening.

Jack got off work right on time.

A moment after he exited from the company's front door, the long-accumulated clouds of rain finally exploded.

The drizzling droplets of rain intertwined with each other on the land between heaven and earth.

"The rain came too fast."

Jack rubbed his nose, started the engine of his car, and drove back to Four Impressions Club.

A drizzle in autumn.

It added a tint of serenity to the bamboo courtyard.

Amber was knitting a tiny shirt quietly while Mr. Ward laid leisurely on the rocking chair, sipping tea.

On the other hand, Brent and Daisy were busy in the kitchen.

Everything appeared to be tranquil and peaceful.

When Jack returned to the courtyard, he could not help but let out a relaxed smile at the sight before him.

All his exhaustion from the day seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

He walked directly towards Amber.

"Honey, you're back."

When Amber saw Jack, she beamed and raised the tiny shirt in her hand as if showing it off to Jack," Look at what I knitted. It's pretty good, right?"

"Not bad. It looks better than poking the flesh last time." Jack joked.

Amber rolled her eyes and rebuked, "Everyone has a first time doing something. I am doing pretty good, so if you insult me again, I'm going to poke you."

Jack grinned.

He walked towards Mr. Ward and asked, "Mr. Ward, is there any news about my father from the Hughes family?"

Mr. Ward released a bitter smile, "The Hughes family never reduced the intensity of the search by the intelligence agency for your father, but nothing could be found. Even I think that this is strange."

Not only was it strange.

It was something that should not even be happening.

Jack's brows tightly furrowed together. With the expertise of the Hughes family's intelligence agency, they would be able to get some information about any ordinary person amidst the crowd after such a long time, what more to say the head of a family.

Moreover, it was the head of the Hughes family they were looking for!

The leader of the Hughes family!

"Don't worry, young master. At least we know a little more than the Hughes family does. Old master is safe now, isn't he?"

Mr. Ward winked and let out a laugh.

Jack rubbed his nose and looked in the direction of the bamboo courtyard as he said, "It's about time we move back to TM Villa District. I feel ill at ease about staying here for too long."

"I feel that way too. "Mr. Ward nodded, "Now that the crisis of the Assassin Squad is over and that Aiden Lott's has settled the the matter in the villa, it's good for us to return to TM Villa District."

During dinner, Jack voiced out his thoughts about moving back to TM Villa District.

After all, Four Impressions Club was Minister Mable's territory. He took Jack in when he was at his lowest point and protected him. Now that Jack's crisis was over, there was no reason for him to stay here any longer.

This will only bring inconvenience to Minister Mable.

And that was the exact opposite of what Jack wanted.

The night sky was hazy.

It was still drizzling.

The TM Villa District was dimly lit.

After the mercenary incident, the area became quite deserted.

Only the real upper-class elites could stay in TM Villa District.

After such a severe incident, it was impossible for all the upper-class to willingly live in a place with danger, even after actions had been taken to improve the situation.

With power and wealth in their hands, they had a wide range of options.

Coupled with the drizzle tonight, the whole TM Villa District was in a quiet state.

Only the rustles of drizzle were continuous.

At the gate of TM Villa District.

A taxi was slowly approaching.

Crunch!

The taxi stopped and caused a big splash of rainwater from the ground.

Click!

The car door opened.

Kieran came down from the vehicle first. He was holding an umbrella in his hand, and his back was facing the interior of the taxi.
