Winner Takes All novel Chapter 696

At the TM Hills Villa.

Death was lingering in the air. It was quiet as the swords swung and fresh blood splashed about. Tens of killers rushed silently towards them. It was as if all of them were robots and executing their orders to kill in silence.

The living room was in a mess and the pungent odor of blood filled the air. There were bodies on the ground. Mr. Ward and Daisy were covered with blood as they held onto the blood-soaked sword. The edge of the sword was jagged after repeated strikes on the blade. The two of them stood firm and placed Amber, Jenny and Katherine behind them for protection. To be accurate, they were protecting Amber. Faced with thirty killers, Mr. Ward and Daisy couldn’t have the ability to protect everyone.

Presently, even the security guards of the villa complex were silent and dared not respond. After all… they were just security guards and not skilled bodyguards.

Although Mr. Ward was advanced in age, in a high-intensity fight where the odds were stacked against them, Mr. Ward would fight to his last breath. During the pause, Mr. Ward stared like a wild beast as he glared at all the thirty killers around him.

“Damn it, all of them are like watermelons for me to slash!” Mr. Ward cussed and then spit out his blood-laced saliva.

Daisy was cool and focused. She could calmly handle this as the top few killers on the Azrael list. But that was if she was facing the killers alone. Now she also had to protect Amber. Mr. Ward and Daisy were panting due to their repeated efforts to protect Amber.

Daisy slowly twisted the long sword and then said solemnly, “Mr. Ward, it’s time for you to leave with Amber.”

Mr. Ward shuddered and then glared at Daisy, “Don’t you think that I can handle this?”

“You should know when to retreat!” Daisy said firmly and then she raged.

The next moment, Daisy lifted the two swords and swung like the God of death, and lunged at the thirty killers.

The sword swung and blood splattered about. Sparks flew each time the swords clashed. The scene was terrifying. It was as if the blood and gore in the movies came to life.

Mr. Ward did not advance and neither he retreated. He stood in place with his hands firmly holding the sword. This was the tactic that he and Daisy came up with. One person would rush forward for the kill while the other remained behind to protect Amber.

Amber was the most important person! They had to protect her even at the cost of their lives. In this tactic, they were able to prevent the killers from getting close to Amber. All the killers were targeting Amber.

Daisy fought valiantly within the pack of killers. Mr. Ward did not look at her but was looking at their surroundings.

‘Why hadn’t the mystery person appeared?’ Mr. Ward pondered.

The mystery man protected them in the shadows. Ever since the mystery man exposed himself by talking directly to Jack, Mr. Ward felt that something was amiss.

Mr. Ward’s guess was confirmed when the first killer was thrown into the villa. The first exchange was between the mystery man and the killers! But after the fight continued, Mr. Ward and Daisy risked themselves several times to protect Amber. The mystery man had disappeared. What was going on?

As Daisy was killing the attackers and Mr. Ward was deep in thoughts, Amber was already so terrified that she looked pale. She sat on the ground as her body continued to tremble in fear. She had seen what was unraveling in front of her but only in the movies. Amber never expected that those bloody scenes in the movies would happen in reality. The blood, the terror, and the bodies of killers piled up on the ground. All these were like a sledgehammer pounding directly onto Amber’s nerves.
