Winner Takes All novel Chapter 677

The voice echoed on the valley of the mountains.

Even Mr. Ward, who was quite a distance away, was surprised.

However, he managed to suppress his urge to rush forward.

The night wind was blowing strongly.

Jack widened his eyes. His expression showed a tiny hint of anger.

This trip to the North intended to entrust the Hunter Family to send in a request for the assassination of George on the Dark Net Assassin Squad.

This mission would get him in deep waters if it weren’t accomplished well, and Jack had been extra careful throughout the process.

He even hid the information about his returning flight.

But he was still hunted down in the North!

And it was a hunt that happened without any signs of warning!

He had never forgotten about this incident. Mr. Ward and Jeweline Group had investigated it before too, but their efforts were all in vain.

It was just like the two helicopters which appeared out of nowhere, and also the assassination which happened at Hunter’s Residence. It was all to kill him.

But…could it be possible?

It seemed that he was targeted by someone hiding in the dark and was ready to strike anytime at him.

It wasn’t a pleasant feeling.

“I know that you suspected me as the person who assassinated you back in at Hunter’s Residence, right?”

The mysterious person turned around and changed the topic.

His words riled Jack up even more, causing him to breathe a little heavier.

It wasn’t a proper response, but silence often meant that the other party was right.

In fact, that was what Jack, Mr. Ward, and Brent thought initially.

It was because Brent came back injured after he chased the person out.

There were only few people who could get Brent injured in a one-to-one fight.

When the Twelve Golden Guard wanted to kidnap Jack, Brent had fought them with all his might. However, they still managed to get a hold of Jack but after sacrificing three of their men’s lives.

That was why Jack, Mr. Ward and Brent thought that the mysterious man was the killer.

But after that, the helicopter incident happened. The mysterious person appeared to rescue them, and it had once again put their assumptions to an end.

“So you really thought that I was the killer.”

The man took a puff of a cigarette and exhaled the thick smoke as he said in a melancholy tone, “Forget about the previous incident for the time being, but I was indeed careless this time around.”

This time, he did not pause between his words.

Nor did he beat around the bush. Instead, he went straight to the point.

“When you and Brent were robbed, I was dealing with the opponent.”

“When I managed to leave and come back, it was already too late. Brent was also sent to the hospital by then.”

“Afterwards, I did not look for you but stayed here to watch over the TM Villa District because I knew that they would be going after Amber.”

The mysterious man paused for a moment then threw a sideway glance at Jack.

Even if the man had his face covered with a mask, Jack could tell that he was angry just by looking into his eyes.

Since he didn’t explain, Jack would dig around the reason behind his fury as well.

What he needed to know now was the whole story!

The man continued, “Indeed, my guess was right. But I never expected to see George at all.”

“When the other party was about to attack your wife, I stopped them, and it was during this process that George appeared and brought Amber away. After that, I wanted to save her, but George was even more difficult to deal with compared to the hidden force, which I was still dealing with.”

A long heave of sigh was heard.

The man then raised his hand and rubbed his face, “I didn’t expect that Yael would sacrifice his life in return for Amber’s in the end. If I had predicted George’s move and made preparations, this wouldn’t have happened.”

Jack was stunned.

He never expected that there would be such a variable in this story.

There was even a ball of fury that was rushing to the top of his head.

The man came and said so much, but it was all about Amber and Yael?

Crack…

Jack clenched his hands into fists as his knuckles cracked.

Soon, the car drove down the hill into the distance.

When the car drove past Jack, the mysterious person even pressed on the car horn.

Mr. Ward approached Jack and asked in confusion, “Young Master, what dd you guys talk about?”

“He came to apologize. I’ll tell you about it on the way.”

Jack exhaled heavily.

The appearance of the mysterious person relieved him of a few matters, but he still felt suffocated by a few other issues.

On the way back, Jack told Mr. Ward everything about the conversation he had earlier on.

Although he was just telling Mr. Ward what had happened, it was evident that he was absent-minded. His mind was full of doubts for the mysterious person.

Now, he understood clearly about Amber and Yael’s incident.

But another greater doubt of his was still prevalent.

For instance, who was the mysterious person?

Or who was the hidden force in the dark that was always waiting to strike upon him?

It was all unpredictable.

Jack felt his throat tightened, and it was even difficult for him to breathe.

He lowered the car window and tried to take in two deep breaths.

Then, he slumped into the wheelchair and said weakly, “Mr. Ward, why do I feel that this is not about me fighting to be the head of the Hughes Family anymore? It’s all getting messier.”
