In the banquet hall.
Time seemed to stop.
The pungent smell of the blood could be smelt in the air.
Jeweshine Hunter stood in place. Blood gushed out from his neck and it was extremely shocking.
The loud sound that Jeweshine’s body fell onto the blood on the ground was heard.
Everyone immediately sobered from being drunk.
“Brent, catch the person!”
The light was glowing brilliantly in Jack Hughes’s eyes as he shouted.
At the moment.
Brent rushed out of the banquet hall.
At the same time.
Jack quickly moved his wheelchair towards Jeweshine. Gilbert Hunter closely followed him.
Mr. Ward and Jeweline Hunter had become a lot sober. However, they were too drunk. Even though they wanted to get up to follow them, they could only sit in place.
Mr. Ward looked serious and fierce as he poured the wine that Jeweshine had poured for them just now onto the ground.
Splash…
At that moment, thick smoke could be seen.
The ground that was paved with white marble immediately turned black. A lot of bubbles could be seen on the wine after the thick smoke.
“Poisonous!”
Mr. Ward said with a deep voice.
Jeweline who was beside him was frightened as his face looked pale. He recalled that he almost drank the glass of wine and he suddenly felt extremely terrified. He subconsciously took a step back to keep himself a distance from the wine on the table.
Jack turned and had a look. He ignored him.
He then looked at Gilbert, “Mr. Hunter, please help me to turn him over.”
Gilbert shook his head to make himself sober. Then, he moved forward.
Jack sat in his wheelchair and he looked serious. He showed a deep look on his face as he stared at the back of Jeweshine’s neck.
A small budge that looked sharp could be seen on his neck.
When Gilbert turned Jeweshine’s corpse over with a sweaty face.
A throwing knife had been precisely thrown on Jeweshine’s neck. The throwing knife penetrated his neck and only the handle of the throwing knife could be seen outside his neck.
He was killed with one blow!
Jack’s pupils contracted.
It was easy to kill a person. It only needed to throw the throwing knife and hit the vitals.
Putting aside the other conditions like lighting, he didn’t only hit the vitals but he also had a strong force. It couldn’t be done by an ordinary person!
Even he couldn’t guarantee he could do it.
“An expert!”
Mr. Ward’s voice sounded behind him.
Jack turned and looked at Mr. Ward. At the moment, although Mr. Ward still looked tired because of the drunkenness, his eyes had looked sober now.
After noticing Jack’s gaze.
Mr. Ward smiled bitterly, “I am sorry, young master. I was careless tonight.”
As a family servant, he had become drunk in the banquet. It was something he mustn’t do.
He thought about what had happened just now. If Brent hadn’t noticed that something was odd and stopped them.
After everyone drank the wine, then the consequences…
After thinking about it, Mr. Ward didn’t feel good as he was nervous. He was extremely frightened.
Jack didn’t care who did right and who did wrong.
In fact, even he didn’t find out. He was also careless.
Who would have thought that they would encounter this kind of matter in the house of the ‘emperor’ of the North?
When he and Brent reached the Hunter family, they had already expected Jeweshine would plot a rebellion after noticing Jeweshine’s reaction when he made tea.
However, they didn’t expect the rebellion would happen this soon and it was so serious.
They had planned to kill everyone here!
And… someone had planned this behind the scenes!
After taking a deep breath, Jack pointed at Jeweshine who didn’t die in peace, and asked Mr. Ward, “Did Brent have this precision and force?”
Mr. Ward thought about it for a while and he nodded, “He should be able to do it.”
“Is it different from the technique that a stone pierced through the tree trunk in the jungle at that night?”
“No need. It will only make it more chaotic.” Jack waved his hand and waited quietly.
About five minutes passed.
The sound of footsteps was finally heard outside.
Jack raised his head and looked at it.
Mr. Ward, Jeweline, and Gilbert also looked in the direction of the sound.
Brent hurriedly returned to the banquet hall.
However, when he walked into the hall and exposed himself under the light.
Jack’s expression suddenly looked serious.
Mr. Ward and the others also showed a shocked look.
Brent smiled bitterly while covering his left arm with his right hand. He slightly let go of his right hand and a bleeding wound could be seen on his left arm.
“I was careless. When that guy was escaping, he turned back and gave me a stab.”
“He could even hurt you. It doesn’t seem so simple. I don’t think it was only because of your carelessness.”
Jack was shocked. Brent’s skill was trained with his blood and his life. He had also fought his way out of Black Hell.
Although he could walk out of Black Hell because Brown Hughes had held his back.
However, Jack had fought his way out of Black Hell too. He knew how hard was it to walk out of Black Hell.
If Brent wasn’t a true expert, how could he let the powerful Hughes family be convinced and let the Hughes family willing to hire him to be the ‘head of the instructor’ to train the elites from the Hughes family?
“He should be slightly stronger than you.”
Jack’s voice was deep and low as he said to Brent.
At the same time, his eyes looked deep as he looked at the throwing knife on the throat of Jeweshine’s corpse.
‘Such precision.’
‘Such strong force.’
‘It was hard to determine which was better compared to the force needed to pierce a tree trunk.’
‘But he was even stronger than Brent…’
Suddenly, Jack thought of a person in his mind.
‘That… mysterious man!’
