Winner Takes All novel Chapter 890

As he watched Jack’s stunned and incredulous face, Achilles simply smiled, “I actually did have the resolve to die at that time, but when I knew what would happen instead, I was as stunned as you are now.”

“What had actually happened?” Jack probed further.

Achilles’ eyes took on a strange light, but he got up and took out some alcohol from a shelf in the house.

Without any words, he popped open the bottle and poured a mouthful into his mouth, and then he sprinkled some of the contents into the fire.

The fire danced and leaped because of it.

The sudden outburst of flames caused Jack to retreat instinctively.

In contrast, Achilles didn’t move an inch as he stood stonily and allowed the flames’ warmth to envelop him.

“You must have known pretty well how cruel and ruthless is it in the battlefield after following us for a survey, no?”

Jack nodded.

The fight they had just earlier on indeed shed some light on some previously unknown things on the battlefield.

Killing was prevalent, and everywhere he laid his eyes he could see bloodied intentions and ruthless killing.

Immediately, Achilles continued, “In fact, I don’t really want to recall this particular matter, because it was more bloodied and cruel than war itself.”

After a pause, Achilles allowed himself a forlorn smile.

At that moment, Jack felt like he was looking at another Achilles.

A war-torn and steely man like him had this gentle and emotional side too?

“It was a huge fight, and after that we had to sweep the battlefield cleanly. It was just a small town that belonged to foreign tribes.”

Achilles chronicled the details slowly, “In the battlefield, it was all pure killing between warriors, and elderly women has no part in it. What could they do? They could only tremble in fear and from their condition, who would have thought that they would all steel themselves and fight back vehemently just before their clan was annihilated?”

Jack’s brows furrowed deeply and there was an excited light in his eyes.

Perhaps… the key reason lied in those elderly women!

The next second, Achilles crushed the bottle of alcohol in his hands with force, and the contents immediately splattered everywhere.

Achilles was gnashing his teeth hard, “That son of a bitch brother of Shawn sliced open two children, an old man and he even bore some lust towards a group of young ladies when he was taking care of the aftermath… Do you still think that I should leave him alive?”

This news came as a huge blow to Jack’s mind. Achilles’ words rammed hard into his consciousness.

All of a sudden, he felt his own sense of morality crumbling.

The hapless and weak elderly and youth were the most innocent and powerless group in any war!

Judging from the fact that the Dragon Cavalry Squad was able to sweep the small clan after the war, it meant that those who were still alive should be considered fugitives of war who had long lost their will to fight.

Despite that, the little brother of Shawn didn’t bat any eyelid as he tore through those weak and helpless group with cold blood!

Was there any difference between someone like him and an animal?

Even though Achilles had only shed a little light on the brother’s past, Jack was able to conjure a very bloodied and inhumane scene in his mind.

“He should be killed!”

Without warning, Jack shouted.

“Yes, you are right. The dictator agreed with me!”

Achilles nodded, “The Dragon Cavalry Squad is an elite and honorable team of warriors. How could we allow such filth to penetrate into our ranks? If someone like that wasn’t rooted out, wouldn’t that deal a huge dent in our reputation and dignity? Everyone would think that the Dragon Cavalry Squad was a team of barbarians without any discipline and order.”

Jack said nothing to refute that.
