Winner Takes All novel Chapter 590

Jack smiled gently.

Gilbert then asked solemnly, “Might I be so bold as to ask Mr. Hughes, your purpose for coming over in secrecy?”

“I’m here to seek your assistance,” Jack said.

Gilbert’s expression changed drastically, stood up and said respectfully, “Please state what you need.”

Everyone in the Hunter family thought that it was Gilbert’s efforts that took the family to their current status but only Gilbert knew that it was all due to Patrick’s support for him. It was clear to him and even after Jeweline became the head of the family, that they had to repay their debts to Patrick and now Jack.

A puppet would always be a puppet. How would he dare to have his master request anything of him?

Jack smiled as he signaled for Gilbert to take a seat. He then spoke solemnly, “I came today to request that you help me approach the dark net assassin squad to issue an order to kill someone.”

“Who?” Gilbert was startled.

As the head of the Hunter family which was valued at tens of billions, he had some understanding of the dark net assassin squad. But for Jack to go through him to have the dark net assassin squad issue the kill order, that meant that the target was a prominent figure!

Jack rubbed his nose and wheeled himself towards Gilbert. He leaned towards Gilbert and whispered.

Kaboom!

Gilbert was stunned and his face turned pale with his eyes and mouth wide open.

“Mr. Hughes… this, this… is a death sentence!” Gilbert was unable to control himself due to the shock. The Hughes family was high and mighty and controlled immense wealth. With such status, each one of them was society elites and if any one of them was hurt by outsiders, the Hughes family would not sit idly by. Not to mention… that the subject was a potential heir!

With such a status, it would definitely incur the boundless wrath of the Hughes family!

“Why should you be afraid when I’m not?” Jack raised his eyebrows and scoffed, “The dark net assassin squad would be able to protect your identity. You need not worry.”

Gilbert frowned tightly and he could not hide his horror. Though Jack spoke lightly of it, Gilbert knew the danger and terror of the consequences.

It was so silent in the study that one could hear a pin drop. The air was thick and tensed.

Jack did not push the matter and simply sipped tea. When Jack decided to kill George, even Mr. Ward hesitated, what more Gilbert.

It was like trying to extract a tiger’s tooth. Any mistake and the person would end up being devoured by the tiger.

George started to instigate trouble when the Powell family went to the Hughes family. At that point, Jack already decided that George’s days were numbered.

Jack would hesitate when it came to the innocents. But when it came to his enemies, particularly someone who repeatedly tried to kill him, then he must be decisive. If he didn’t even dare to kill his enemies and treat his enemies with compassion, then he would be his own greatest enemy.

“Huff…” Gilbert exhaled just as Jack was about to finish his cup of tea. At this point, he looked determined and without the indecisiveness he had displayed a moment ago.

With a smile, Gilbert nodded and assured, “The Hunter family will carry out your wishes.”

“Great, issue it tonight.” Jack nodded and was very pleased with Gilbert’s attitude. Gilbert no longer hesitated and firmly agreed.

After a pause, Gilbert tried to change the subject, smiled, and said, “I’ve already ordered our residential chef to prepare a banquet. I hope that Mr. Hughes will accept my invitation to stay at my residence tonight.”
