Winner Takes All novel Chapter 862

“Hmm….”

A wooing sound broke the silence in the bedroom.

Jack slowly opened his eyes. His hollow eyes then came into focus gradually, “How long have I been sleeping?”

“Jack, you’re finally awake!”

Amber, who had been guarding by the side, was instantly ecstatic, hurriedly lying on Jack’s chest and howling, “Boohoo… you scared me out…”

“What’s so scary about me?”

Jack struggled to sit up, but a burst of severe pain immediately came over his body. He couldn’t help but let out a muffled grunt.

“Don’t move!”

Amber was terrified and said, “You have cuts and bruises all over your body. It will hurt if you move.”

“How did it cause that? Also, how long have I been sleeping?”

Jack endured the pain as he looked at Amber in confusion.

Amber was stunned and asked hesitantly, “You don’t remember what happened?”

Jack shook his head blankly.

Amber had wandering eyes, pausing for a few seconds before speaking slowly.

“You’ve been asleep for three days, and I’ve been guarding your side all the time. As for what happened…”

Speaking of this, Amber suddenly paused. A scene from that night three days ago came to mind, and she was still fretting even now.

It was not just the Iga Clan’s assassination, but also Jack’s status back then. He was even more terrifying than the Iga Clan’s assassination.

At that time, Mysterious Man informed them to go and pick them up. The moment they arrived at the bamboo forest, what they saw was Jack covered in blood, Brent, and Mysterious Man, having broken phalanges and in a mess, as well as two mangled corpses.

The scene from that night three days ago seemed like a nightmare that had been haunting Jack’s mind for the past three days.

“What happened?”

Jack asked with a frown.

Amber took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in her heart. As she was about to speak, the door of the room was pushed open with a squeak.

Mysterious Man, with his right hand wrapped in a plaster cast, walked in and coldly let out a hoarse voice, “Nothing happened. What you remember is what happened. You fainted. Brent and I who cleaned up the mess.”

Amber looked at Mysterious Man in surprise. She wasn’t expecting Mysterious Man to come in at this time, and even more so, not expecting that Mysterious Man would hide the incident that happened to Jack three days ago.

On the other hand, Jack was frowning and puzzled as he looked at Mysterious Man.

His eyes drifted as if he was reminiscing.

He murmured in a low voice, “I remember that night I was in the bamboo forest, fighting with three Iga TobiRyuu Ninja Lords. After you and Brent arrived, the three people fled. But they came back, using Amber as a threat. When we arrived…”

Speaking of this, Jack was confused.

He raised his hand, slapping his head, and said in confusion, “Then… did I just faint?”

“Yes.”

Mysterious Man nodded, “It was Brent and I who cleaned up the mess back then. Everyone was injured, but fortunately nobody died.”

Jack nodded, and then his brows furrowed again, looking at Mysterious Man in confusion.

“But I’ve been having nightmares for the past three days since I fell into a coma.”

“Nightmares?”

Amber asked in distress.

Jack recalled for a moment and said to Mysterious Man, “In the dream, the three Ninja Lords of the Iga TobiRyuu died so horribly. Their bodies were all in tatters. And I…”

After saying that, Jack raised his fingers and pointed at the Mysterious Man, and his voice was trembling.

“And I dreamed that your face… fell off…”

“Huh?”
