Winner Takes All novel Chapter 442

The next morning.

Jack who did not sleep for a night brought Brent out of the city to the old Forbes town early in the morning.

It was the tourist attraction of the city.

But the local people treated the relics of the old town as useless ash.

The relics of the old town had changed their appearance as they had been eroded by the wind and sand for many years.

The Benz G drove speedily along the way.

The surrounding walls and yellow sand were getting more and more, a large area of yellow land was seen.

No people could be found there.

Jack sat on the co-driver seat. His emotion was complicated.

He was so exhilarated to meet his father soon.

But the phone number last night was canceled again, he was worried.

What…was dad afraid of?

They were already here, why did he cancel the number carefully after he sent the message?

“Young master, the old Forbes town is ahead of us,”

Brent reminded him.

Jack regained his attention and looked ahead.

A few broken walls could be faintly seen across the yellow sand.

And those dilapidated walls were the relics of the old town, as the locals called them.

“It is indeed badly deserted.”

Jack rubbed his nose, “My father chooses to meet here, the track is concealed enough.”

According to his estimation, the distance between the city and this place was almost 50 km.

The distance was so far yet the surrounding was covered by yellow sand.

It was difficult for others to notice them.

He lowered his head to look at his phone, it showed no signal.

It was impossible for him to call others via the phone.

“Will Mr. Ward worry about us when he goes back to the hotel?” Brent observed that Jack was looking at the phone and asked.

Jack smiled, “I have sent a message to him when we leave, he will not worry about us. Furthermore, do you think he will go back so early?”

Brent smiled and accelerated.

After passing by the broken walls, the car stopped with a creaking sound.

Jack got down the car and walked towards the deeper area of the relics.

The surrounding sand and wind were strong. Although he was wrapped with a scarf, the sand would still enter his mouth accidentally.

A few broken walls and neglected relics were seen along the way. Some stayed erected across the yellow sand whereas some were buried by the yellow sand and left some marks only.

Everywhere was desolated and deserted.

No sound could be heard except the sound of the wind.

It was deadly silent.

The “shak-shak” sound of the yellow sand could be heard under his feet. His feet sank into the sand when he stepped.

After walking for about 100m, Jack could see a circular platform in between the broken walls.

The circular platform was eroded by the yellow sand, and some historical marks could be seen on it.

“Let’s wait there,” Jack pointed at the platform.

After sitting on the platform, both of them started to wait.

There was no signal, he could not call anyone via his phone. He had no choice but waited for his father.

The time flowed.

Jack and Brent waited boringly.

Finally, the sound of the car engine and horn could be heard from far away.

They could see the yellow sand along the way splashing out.

“He is coming!”

Brent opened his eyes big and got up.

Jack’s heart raced and he got up as well. His deep sights focused on the yellow sand splashed from far away.

His heart beat fast uncontrollably at the moment.

He would soon meet his father, he was nervous, excited, happy, and had a lot of mixed emotion.

However.

Bang!

Followed by a loud sound.
