In the rolling mountains outside the capital city.
The manor of the Hughes family was brightly lit. To look down at it from the high sky, it looked like a silver moon that had fallen to the ground.
It blossomed with a light that belonged to it alone in the darkness of the mountains.
Even though it was late at night.
In the airport of the Hughes family, planes were constantly taking off and landing.
In the Hughes family, there was never a shortage of people visiting them no matter what time it was.
The entire manor of the Hughes family was like a giant wealth-creating machine that was running non-stop 24 hours a day.
Inside the room of the family head.
Patrick switched off the computer, leant back in the chair, closed his eyes and lightly pinched the bridge of his nose.
As the head of the family who was at the helm of the Hughes family, even though the tasks had been categorized and distributed to those who were in power to handle them, the tasks that really had to be handled by Patrick were still tedious and heavy.
Especially during this recent period.
The Bloody Trap that was meant for Jack had made Patrick even more exhausted.
He had the intention to help Jack but he could only sit tight due to the situation.
The position he was in and the things he knew were not something Jack who was trapped in Bloody Trap could understand.
Originally, it was only an internal affair of the Hughes family in which Jack and the heirs of the Hughes family competed for the crown of the next family head.
But now, this war already spread outward rapidly.
The involvement was too deep and the depth was too wide.
Even though he took control of the Hughes family, he also did not dare to take action easily.
“I knew there would be the scene like today but I didn’t expect that it would come so much faster, more urgent and more violent than what I expected.”
Patrick rubbed his face and opened his eyes with his head back. He looked at the ceiling tiredly and said helplessly and disconsolately,“Sophie, what I planned was to let Jack become the head of the family before the occurrence of Bloody Trap. At that time, Jack can also be sheltered by the Hughes family and fight against it with the power of the Hughes family. But unexpectedly, things have gone beyond my expectations. This time, you really have to bless Jack in heaven…”
There was a strong sense of melancholy and exhaustion.
If this scene was seen by outsiders, they would certainly be dumbfounded as if they were in a dream.
When did the head of the Hughes family ever look like this?
“I don’t know how is Jack doing after going to Dragon Cavalry for this period.”
Patrick’s eyes flickered and he snapped his fingers.
Soon.
The door of the room was opened. A man wrapped in black robes walked in and stood in the doorway silently.
“Go and find out Jack’s recent situation in Dragon Cavalry.”
Patrick commanded.
The black-robed man bowed and left the room.
From beginning to end, he was like a ghost.
Patrick’s tired face finally revealed a smile, “To Jack, Dragon Cavalry is really an unexpected good thing. This is also considered Brown’s protection for Jack. With Zenith there, Bloody Trap will become nothing. I wonder when Jack returns, how much will he actually grow?”
Time passed slowly.
Patrick leant back in the chair and the fingertips of his right hand were gently tapping on the table.
Knock knock knock…
The soft and slow knocks echoed in the room.
After waiting for about ten minutes.
The black-robed man who had left just now walked in and still kept silent as he had been earlier.
“How is Jack doing?”
Patrick looked at the black-robed man with expectation in his eyes.
Thump!
The black-robed man knelt on both knees.
This scene immediately made Patrick’s face change. He sat up straight, “I’m asking you to report on Jack’s recent situation, not to kneel!”
