Winner Takes All novel Chapter 820

A dinner.

In the boozy atmosphere, it lasted until after 10 pm.

A cool wind was blowing.

Amber Knight and Rosie had already gone back to their room to sleep earlier.

Jack and the others were still drinking in the dining room.

Daisy Hill was the only one who didn’t drink any alcohol during the whole evening. While Jack and the others were getting drunk, she kept sitting all the time in front of the restaurant’s door, and looked around from time to time.

Despite the Mysterious Man’s words, a prudent person like her couldn’t dare to relax carelessly at that moment.

Even in South Maine, the Mysterious Man massacred all the major powers and killed everyone with horror.

But now…was there still someone who was brave enough to not be afraid of dying?

Outside the Bamboo Grove.

Lone Wolf and his security personnel were patrolling non-stop.

Not only they used a variety of monitoring instruments, but also cast a human wall outside the Bamboo Grove.

Lone Wolf was leading the security guards on patrol all the time.

It was not only monitored with various monitoring equipment, all the guards had almost set up another wall with their body outside the Bamboo Grove.

The night was late.

Jack and the others finally finished drinking, and went back to their rooms.

Brent didn’t go to sleep, but he sat drunkenly on the porch, side by side with Daisy.

“Still not sleeping? You are hurt and the night is cold.”

Brent took a deep breath and let his alcoholic breath go out.

Daisy’s face was a little pale, but her eyes were shining and looked at Brent in surprise.

“Oh, you finally learnt how to care about people!”

Facing Daisy’s eyes, Brent was dumbfounded.

His face, already flushed with alcohol, seemed to become even redder.

He raised his hand, scratched his head, and smiled awkwardly.

“We are all good brothers and war buddies.”

Daisy was speechless.

What a dummy guy!

A sense of loss came over her.

Daisy leaned her head against the doorframe, staring blankly at the ground in the courtyard, “How could I sleep? Even if my wound is serious, I can still bear it. In this kind of situation, I can’t let my guard down. Even if the Mysterious Man said we can relax one or two days, it’s better to be prudent.”

“Yeah, I really wish this damned blood trap would go away soon.”

In Brent’s misty eyes there was some brightness. He rubbed his face, “This time, in South Maine’s battle, even the powerful Mysterious Man was seriously injured. If this doesn’t stop soon, maybe…”

After a pause, Brent’s voice became very melancholy, and he smiled bitterly, “Or maybe this blood trap would never end!”

Daisy glanced at Brent.

She knew that he didn’t mean that Jack would not survive the bloody trap, but he was worried that the bloody trap against Jack would last forever.

The Hughes family was omnipotent, all the evil forces would have to give way.

Anyway, when those jumping evil forces increased, maybe they would dare to challenge the Hughes family .

That endless, violent and imminent assassination was really scaring!

Daisy took a deep breath and shook her head, “It’s late,” she said. “Just go to sleep. You drank too much.”

“What about you?” Brent asked.

Daisy held her chin in both hands and looked up at the night sky, and then she whispered, “I can’t sleep anyway, I’ll stay here to look at the stars.”

“Then I will stay with you.” Brent said.

He tilted his head and leaned on Daisy’s shoulder, “I drank too much, I have headache.”

“Stay here, Brent, I don’t mind.”

Daisy spoke calmly, but at that moment, the corners of her mouth slowly upturned and revealed a gentle smile.

The night was deadly silent.

Inside the Bamboo Grove, it was quiet.

There was only the sound of the wind caressing the whole courtyard.

Brent leaned on Daisy’s shoulder. Neither of them moved, as if in a scroll.

It just didn’t take long.

The silence of the courtyard was completely broken by a snore’s sound.

Daisy twisted her head and gave a cuddly smile, “What a big dummy!”

Then she patted slightly Brent’s face, “Dummy, let’s go back to bed.”

“Okay, but we have to sleep in two rooms.”
