Winner Takes All novel Chapter 949

It was the next morning.

When Jack woke up, he saw Zenith was sitting by the side.

His eyesight gradually regained focus, but he found himself lying in Zenith’s room.

“Awake?”

Zenith put his hands down and leaned on the chair in front of the desk tiredly, “You have overslept and missed today’s morning training.”

“I have been sleeping here for a whole night?”

Jack looked at Zenith in shock. Zenith’s exhausted face was obviously caused by his unchanged sitting position for the whole night.

“Yes, you fellow is the first person that was accompanied by me to sleep with.” Zenith lifted his hand and rubbed his face. Then, he lit another cigarette and smoked.

Jack was speechless.

After taking a deep breath, Jack did not dwell on Zenith’s words.

He asked, “How is Cole now?”

“His life is rescued, but he has to recuperate for three months before going back into the battle.”

Zenith shrugged with a cynical look on his face. As he held a cigarette in his mouth, he picked up the Tao Te Ching on his desk and teased, “You’re indeed relaxed. You will bring this Tao Te Ching with you wherever you go, it is quite a nice book.”

“I’m used to it.”

Jack sat up again as his body had recovered a lot after a night of deep sleep. However, there was still soreness as well as a weak feeling all over his body.

“Go back to the barrack and rest for another two days. I have told them not to assign you any missions during these two days.”

Zenith closed the Tao Te Ching and tossed it directly to Jack, “You guys have made great achievements in this battle. But to hide this incident, it will not be counted in the military merits. Just treat it as if nothing has happened before!”

“Alright.”

Jack nodded his head and tidied his clothes. After keeping the Tao Te Ching in place, he got out of his bed and took two steps outside. He suddenly stopped his steps for a while.

“Still have any problems?”

Zenith frowned and asked.

“There should probably be a spy in the Dragon Cavalry. The mercenaries are heading straight to us.”

After making such a comment, Jack left in a couple of strides without looking back.

Just as he reached the doorway, Zenith’s words were heard by him from the back.

“It is about time. This kind of humiliation, I will rather kill all just for one!”

Jack’s pupils constricted, was this…already known?

He was astounded for a moment, then he was relieved.

What he could think of, with Achilles and Zenith’s battlefield experience, would they not think of it?

Jack rubbed his nose and mocked himself.

It was me thinking too much.

“If you go back now, you should be able to see the Golden Guards settling this issue.”

“Fine.”

When Jack left, the smile on Zenith’s face disappeared.

It was replaced by the usual majestic and grim look.

His eyes narrowed as he looked incredibly stern.

“Without even asking?”

There was a soft murmur of confusion.

Ever since Jack was awakened, Zenith had purposely avoided mentioning the incident of “Bewitchedness”. However, being the main person involved, Jack did not mention it either.

Zenith closed his eyes while rubbing his nose. He gently knocked on the desk.

Da, da, da…

The sound softly echoed in the room at a steady pace. He seemed to be thinking about something.

It was when Jack returned to the barrack.

Achilles, Debut and Yarol were all in the barrack.

Jack and Cole were the most severely injured in yesterday’s battle.

Among the three of them, Debut was obviously the heaviest and he was wrapped with gauze all over his body.

All these wounds were mostly formed when three of them shielded Yarol and Cole to retreat.

“Jack, you have recovered so fast?”

Debut was surprised to see Jack. As he recalled the battle yesterday, he could not hide his fear in his eyes.
