Winner Takes All novel Chapter 69

The deafening roars and shouts thundered.

The intense lights were blinding.

Death was waiting.

Yet at this moment, Jack felt a kind of peace that he had never experienced before. He didn’t grow up in a pleasant environment. The things that he had experienced far exceeded that of others.

Death only took a moment. But to live in despair was long and agonizing. It was natural to fear death. But anyone who had lived through despair would have the courage to face death.

“That’s impossible, why is it like that? He shouldn’t be in this state…”

Devil’s heart sank. He habitually pushes his opponents to a desperate state and then he will finish him off with a blow to exert his superiority over his opponent. But now Jack’s reaction was beyond his expectations.

Swish!

His right hand flicked and the cold dagger sprung from his ring.

“Die!” Devil yelled as he clenched his jaws and rushed towards Jack.

Previously, he would at least conceal the dagger during his attacks but now, he totally exposed it under the intense lights and everyone could see it.

“You’ve lost it.” Jack smiled. The soft murmur seemed to explode in Devil’s ears causing him to lose his concentration.

Jack moved suddenly. In a twist, he swiftly dodged the dagger. His right hand chopped directly onto Devil’s throat. A blunt ‘thump’, followed by the low agonizing groan of Devil.

Kaboom! Devil collapsed onto the ground!

The deafening shouts and cheers suddenly went quiet in the darkness.

All eyes fell onto Jack.

“Hmph…” Jack heaved a sigh and walked towards the door of the cage without looking at Devil. Even if the swift hand chop to the throat didn’t kill Devil, he wasn’t far from death.

Clank clank…

The rattling of the cage door woke the dazed umpire. He hastily opened the door and Jack walked out of the cage slowly.

His right hand held onto his left arm and walked towards Brent and then raised his middle finger, “Fuck you!”

Before he entered the cage, Brent agreed to intervene if he noticed something amiss but from beginning to the end, Brent only watched from one side.

Did he set me up? Jack thought.

Brent smiled, “Master Hughes, you’ve advanced rapidly.”

“Let’s go to the hospital,” Jack said helplessly.

Lone Wolf regained his composure after the two of them left. He turned around to look at the two of them disappearing into the darkness and he clenched his fists tightly. His eyes lit up with determination.

A few seconds later, the dead silent Underground Fight Club started to boil over.

“Damn it… how could it be like the last fight? Who the hell is he?”

“God, I’ve lost another hundred thousand!”

“He clearly was about to die, how could he reverse the situation?”

…

The commotion almost rattled off Underground Fight Club’s roof. The anger was intense.

Most of the spectators were unaware that above them was a row of VIP rooms. There were only a few VIP rooms and reserved for the rich and famous of the city. That was why Lone Wolf was approached by those wealthy men to hire him as their bodyguard.

One of the VIP room was dimly lit. One person stood quietly at the huge single panel window. He looked towards the exit of the arena and remarked happily.

“I didn’t expect you to be so talented…”

…

Brent settled the hospital discharge procedures for Jack. Jack insisted on being discharged against the advice of the doctors and nurses because today was the day his mother will be discharged.

He also planned to take his mother to their new house.

He went with Brent to LJ hospital and Amber was already there packing up the things together with Daisy. Sophie was sitting on one side waiting for them to finish.

Although she was still weak, Sophie’s condition was much better than before and had met the conditions to be discharged from the hospital.

As Jack walked into the patient room, a large pile of fruits and health supplements caught his attention. The pile of fruits and health supplements occupied almost a third of the patient’s room.

“Who gave them?” Jack asked in surprise.

On hearing this, Amber’s eyes dimmed while Sophie drooped her head.

Daisy replied, “They are from the Parry family.”

Jack suddenly felt that it was amusing. Can they behave more disgustingly?

Sophie then said, “Daisy, I’ll be discharged today. Give these to the nurses' station and request them to distribute them to the other patients. I don’t want to eat anything given by the Parry family. It’s disgusting.”

Jack was bewildered. Ever since he was a child, he was brought up to be soft-spoken and tough. He normally won’t hear his mother say any upsetting words.

“Ah? Missus, you really want to give them away?” Daisy had been used to being thrifty and couldn’t bear to give them away. All the things there amount to at least a few thousand yuan. It was a pity to give them away.

“My son cannot be pushed around by others. How can I remain cordial from the way the Parry family treated my son?” Sophie’s expression darkened and then pointed towards the bag of fruits next to the bed and smiled, “Take the fruits bought by Amber. They are delicious.”

On hearing this, Amber smiled radiantly. Jack also smiled and looked at his mother gratefully.

“Mom, let’s go back to our new house.”

“New house?” Sophie was stunned, “Jack, when did we have a new house?”

“Auntie, let’s go. This is a surprise that Jack has prepared for you.” Amber held onto Sophie’s arm happily.
