Winner Takes All novel Chapter 734

The Mysterious Man was gone.

He didn’t really leave, but he was hidden in a dark corner.

He said that he shouldn’t be too exposed to the light.

Jack was still sitting on the bench in the corridor, holding a half box of cigarettes that the Mysterious Man had handed him.

For some reasons, he had been smoking more and more those days.

At the beginning of the relationship with Amber, because she hated the smell of smoke, he once gave up smoking, but now, the distress and resentment in his heart maybe could only be exposed through the smoke.

He looked lonely, furrowing his brows.

Jack reignited a cigarette and was thinking about the matter seriously.

Of course, he understood what the Mysterious Man meant.

Now, for everyone, he was nothing but the illegitimate son of the Hughes Family’s old Master, just a bastard.

Even he had great achievements and his clan was not weaker than a wealthy Family, and anyway it was still difficult to get rid of the word “bastard”.

Dealing with the Kool Family, dealing with those secret forces, after all, was almost impossible.

He was waiting for the day of his father’s birthday when he would defeat all the successors and become, under the watchful eyes of many people, the next family head of the Hughes Family.

At that moment, he would mobilize all the forces of the Hughes Family!

Then he could be ruthless.

The Kool Family, the Bloody Angel and the other forces were much easier to deal with.

“Maybe…my Father also thinks so, right?”

Jack whispered softly, rubbing his face with both hands.

He turned to look at the ward where Amber was.

An extremely strong sense of guilt was like a sharp knife that had been heated up cutting all over his body.

If it was like the Mysterious Man said, how should he face Amber? How could he face his in-laws? And how to deal with the loss of a child?

A jumble of thoughts filled Jack’s mind like a long and dense thread.

His eyes were sometimes gloomy, sometimes violent and sometimes hollow and empty.

The momentum of the whole body changed from time to time.

In the silence.

Jack took out the ‘Tao Te Ching’ given by the Mysterious Man and read it carefully.

Its words were simple and eloquent and their preciosity was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart. Jack gradually calmed down.

While Jack was savoring the ‘Tao Te Ching’, the door of a ward not far away opened a gap.

The Mysterious Man looked at Jack who was sitting on the bench turning the pages of the scriptures. His brows twisted slightly and he whispered in amazement, “These scriptures are useless, does the ‘Tao Te Ching’ have miraculous effects?”

That night passed quickly.

When it got light, Isaac Wells walked to the top floor.

Jack didn’t sleep all night, but as the sun began to rise, he moved from the corridor’s bench to the wheelchair.

Therefore, when Isaac went upstairs, he didn’t notice the slightest abnormality.

Seeing Isaac, he said, “Boss, are you leaving?”

“Yeah, everything is packed.”

Isaac nodded, “Rena is better now. After a simple treatment, the journey won’t be delayed. After I go back, I will arrange for her to receive more treatment. Besides, you don’t need to see me off, take care of your wife.”

Pronouncing the word “wife”, he accentuated his tone.

It was like a reminder to Jack.

Jack nodded, clasped his fists and said, “It’s a long way, sorry for not seeing you off. Thank you and Lieutenant Yales.”

Isaac’s expression was grim, his eyes flickered, as if he was hesitating.

Three seconds later, his look became resolute and he slowly said, “I know that I can’t dissuade you from the blood feud for your wife and child, but I personally suggest you to hold it off!”

Jack frowned and looked at Isaac.

Isaac shrugged, “As long as the hidden great forces can avoid the Grand Freemasons’ investigation, it’s really not a wise move to rush for revenge. It’s not too late for a great man to take his revenge even after ten years.”

He knew that he could not disclose the Kool Family’s information, but he had to use such a cryptic tone in the hope of persuading jack.

After speaking, Isaac waved his hand, turned and left.

Jack didn’t see him off, he remained where he was and frowned.
