Winner Takes All novel Chapter 783

“Didn’t you refuse to say what was going on?” Jack was confused at the turn of events.

“I didn’t know if I had the time to explain it to you, that was why I didn’t just now.” The mysterious man pushed Jack hastily and then continued, “I packed up, changed, and then realized that I had some time to spare. So I went to look for Mr. Ward and Brent to explain the situation to them. They will explain the situation to you afterward.”

The mysterious man pushed open the door to Mr. Ward’s room without knocking. It was obvious that he had been here a moment ago. Mr. Ward and Brent rose to their feet as soon as Jack entered and greeted respectfully, “Master Hughes.”

Brent and Daisy’s relationship had not progressed to that intimate stage and that was why Mr. Ward and Brent shared the same room during this vacation.

“You two may tell Jack what is happening. I have to leave to settle something.” The mysterious man said and then he winced and coughed. The three of them were shocked to see that the mysterious man had coughed out some blood.

“Are you hurt?” Jack quickly asked.

The mysterious man waved, shook his head, and quickly turned to leave.

After the door was closed, Brent pushed Jack towards the sofa. Mr. Ward looked fatigued as he sat on the sofa and begun to explain, “This matter is dicey. What happened last night drew a lot of attention and exposed our whereabouts.”

Jack was not surprised by this as they had swiftly terminated the wealthiest family of South Maine within a night. They could suppress the information from the regular folks but the elite families in South Maine could easily find out who was behind this. Jack had already anticipated that this would happen.

“Yesterday the mysterious man did not intervene during the accident because he held off a killer sent by the Bloody Angel. Then because of the commotion raised when the Turner family was eliminated, now numerous assassin teams are rushing over.” Mr. Ward then pointed to the door and then said solemnly, “The mysterious man’s injuries are due to his exchanges with the killer.”

“Sheesh…” Jack remarked.

What Mr. Ward said was very short and concise. It was obvious that their whereabouts had been leaked soon after they arrived at South Maine. The first killer to arrive was from the Bloody Angel’s team and was dealt with by the mysterious man about the same time as the car accident.

Thereafter they exposed themselves when they took firm actions against the Turner family. That triggered the other killers to swarm towards South Maine. It was a rare opportunity for the killers to attack Jack now that he was in South Maine and out of his own turf. That was why all the killers jumped on the opportunity to rush over.

They had considered this possibility before they embarked on the trip. They even tried to throw any stalkers off by doing a secret transit but they never expected the situation to deteriorate to this extent.

Last night the mysterious man was nowhere to be seen because he had been dealing with the killer in the background. But what alarmed Jack was that the mysterious man had been injured by the killer!

The mysterious man was actually injured! He had never seen the entire capabilities of the mysterious man. From the way he killed the Powell family traitor at the forest, the skills of the mysterious man were second only to Uncle Brown! How much danger were they in for the mysterious man to be injured in the fight?
