Winner Takes All novel Chapter 419

At the DT company.

Jack was silent like a sculpture as before. He sat by the window and looked outside at the clouds drifting by. He occasionally picked up his teacup and sipped the tea. He was calm and steady.

The time for the slaughter had begun and he was waiting for Yael’s good news.

In the competition for capital, he didn’t take seriously Zooko Investment and Seava Capital after losing a big player like Rothschild. The guillotine had fallen on the two capital companies.

Outside the office.

Corbin, Lone Wolf, and the others were stunned, “Lone Wolf, what’s wrong with Jack today?”

Corbin was Jack’s most capable assistant and looked puzzled, “He came to the office early today, kept sitting by the window, and didn’t do a thing.”

“Could it be that our company is in big trouble? I remembered that Mr. Hughes once behaved this way when the company was handling the West Shantytown modification project.” Someone said.

“How could it be? Don’t you know how remarkable our company is right now? If it wasn’t Mr. Hughes trying to be low-key, our company would be number one in the industry.” Someone quickly retorted.

Everyone’s gaze fell upon Lone Wolf. They thought similarly with Corbin that Lone Wolf was closer to Jack. Corbin was only in charge of matters in DT but Lone Wolf was involved in some of Jack’s private matters.

“I also don’t know.” Lone Wolf replied awkwardly and rubbed his nose, “When I went in to serve him some tea, I only heard that he was preparing for the slaughter. He also said that he may give us some bonus.”

Bonus?! Everyone was stunned including Corbin. There weren’t… any projects that they had done recently to deserve getting a bonus. Although they were doubtful, all of them became overjoyed.

They had remained behind during DT’s most critical period because they had faith in Jack. At the same time, they hoped to enjoy the fruits of their successes. Everyone in the company was well rewarded for the success of the West Shantytown project. Jack was also very generous when sharing the profits with his staff. All the staff of DT was clear that they had made the right choice to follow Jack.

It was close to lunchtime and Jack’s cellphone finally rang. He looked at the phone and it displayed Yael’s name. Jack smiled gently and answered the call.

“Jack, the harvest is a success!” Yael suppressed his excitement but he still revealed his feelings.

“How much?” Jack curiously asked.

Yael sniggered, “I won’t tell you for now. There’s another session in the afternoon. I didn’t let QY International participate in the morning. If it’s successful in the afternoon, then we will have a great win and magnificent feast!”

Bang! The phone call ended.

Jack smiled helplessly and muttered, “This chap is trying to keep me in suspense?”

But he was surprised that Yael did not let QY International participate in the morning.

Just with his family, Grand Freemasons, and the Jeweline Group, Yael had conducted a slaughter. If QY International entered the fray when the trading session opened in the afternoon… then it would become a massacre!

Jack smiled when he thought of this, “Want to devour me? Then let’s see whose appetite is greater!”

On the other side, at the Hughes family.

There was dead silence in the room. Killian, George, and Ivy’s faces were pale and stunned as they sat. The short two hours were surreal.

Slaughter! They were being slaughtered and steamrolled!

Initially, they were rejoicing that Jack had been beaten into the abyss but now the excitement had changed from rejoicing to horror.
