Winner Takes All novel Chapter 547

So… you were going to escape already?

Jack Hughes was a bit confused.

The front foot crossed with the killer’s intent, but the back foot was prepared to escape immediately.

He glanced at the stone on the tree trunk behind Lyndall Long.

At the same time, Lyndall lost support and slid down the trunk.

Jack slowly turned around his head with his right hand flowing streaks of blood to the ground.

As soon as he saw the middle-aged man about to take down the “Powell” name token embedded on the trunk.

“Stay!”

Jack burst into anger and raised his bloody stained right hand.

The Fish Scale Line glowed with a faint cold light as if gently whispering into and wrapping around the middle-aged man.

“I want to go; nobody can stay me!”

The middle-aged man suddenly turned around and a flying dagger appeared on his hand in which he blatantly waved.

A crisp sound exploded into the atmosphere.

Jack felt the Fish Line Scale that flew out loosened and the rest of the Fish Scale Line also quickly returned to the box.

Almost simultaneously.

The middle-aged man calmly took down the “Powell” name token, calmly left, and quickly went into the woods.

Jack stared blankly on his right hand. The fear couldn’t be hidden from his pale blood-stained face.

After Brent gave the Fish Scale Line to him as a weapon, it didn’t always serve a win in battles. There were also losses.

However, this was the first time it had been cut off by someone!

It also happened in a snap!

Easily, it was like cutting a piece of cloth.

Looking up at the direction where the middle-aged man left, Jack’s pupils tightened with fear.

This person…who was this?

What did that piece of “Powell” name tag mean?

The reason why he gave a shot a while ago wasn’t to keep the middle-aged man, but rather to keep the “Powell” name tag embedded on the tree trunk.

A token that allowed the middle-aged man to be still and firm to get it away, even if he could be encircled by men, must be of importance.

“Young master!”

As Mr. Ward and Brent rushed over, their faces changed drastically and were extremely frightened.

When they saw Jack covered in injuries, they were stunned.

Even Brent, who revived from the death, couldn’t help but take a cold breath.

His gaze moved down to Jack’s right hand. Through the light, one could vaguely see the flesh torn down, all dripping with blood.

“Let’s go.”

Jack bitterly smiled, and told Mr. Ward and Brent, “I’ve always thought that you two found something wrong.”

“We found it.”

Mr. Ward nodded and strongly spoke, “But we need to kill the killer. Brent and I already did our best to get it resolved as quickly as possible and rushed back.”

While he was talking, Mr. Ward frowned at Willy Parker’s corpse, “I didn’t think that there’s more than just Willy Parker in this matter.”

“The one that got away a while ago is the true danger behind all of them.”

Jack looked down at Lyndall Long who was lying on the floor, “If it wasn’t for Lyndall’s desperate gunshot that bought us some time, you would’ve seen two corpses by now.”

Mr. Ward and Brent’s faces changed simultaneously.

They were so frightened.

Both of them came forward. Brent carried Jack, and Mr. Ward carried Lyndall. Brent also helped carry a hand.

They were about to walk away from the woods.

When Jack suddenly called out Brent.

He pointed at the stone thrown into the tree trunk a while ago, “Brent, when did you get so strong?”

“What?”

Brent froze for a moment, turned to see the stone that didn’t enter the tree trunk, and was shocked, “I, I didn’t do this!”

Boom!

At that moment, Jack was stunned and his face changed drastically.

There were other masters in these deep woods?

As they near the mountainside, the people from the local office of the Hughes family who once scattered also swarmed around.

With the arrival of protection, Jack finally felt relieved.

The pressure and fear brought by the middle-aged man to him was too strong, strong enough to bring him into despair.

Though the middle-aged man escaped already, he was still hidden in the woods. It would be hard to guarantee that he wouldn’t return and carry out an assassination in secret.

With the middle-aged man’s strength, Jack was certain of his power!

Looking back, Jack still lingered with fear.

Each scene replayed in his mind like a nightmare, leaving Jack in low spirits.

The difference in their strengths made him feel powerless as he faced the middle-aged man.

He only felt this defeat from Brown Hughes in so long.

Yet this time, it felt even stronger!

It was so strong that Jack and Lyndall had a near-death experience.

However.

Following the exclamation from the people from the local office of the Hughes family, Jack was instantly awakened from his frightening stage into reality.

“There’s a corpse!”

With that exclamation, the entire group exploded.

“Guards, have two people go and check!”

Mr. Ward screamed while carrying Lyndall and kept back to back with Brent who was carrying Jack to allow the people from the local office of the Hughes family to check around the area.

Jack laid on Brent’s back, staring at the two people from the Hughes family office walking towards the front, and directed his attention there.

Along the mountain highway, the two cars that exploded a while ago still continued to emit smoke and fire flares.

At the back were more than a dozen cars they just drove here.

The corpse was laying right in front of their Rolls Royce.

As soon as Jack saw the corpse clearly, a “bang” sounded in his head.

He blurted out.

“Dead, dead?!”
