Winner Takes All novel Chapter 97

There was silence inside the black Rolls Royce driving on the road.

Jack was looking out the window thoughtfully.

The arrival of Mr. Ward had taught him a valuable lesson.

His character and capabilities were not lacking but his behavior had always been too constrained, inevitably leading him being timid and hesitant.

Just like confronting Drago Chou, if in his place it was Mr. Ward since the beginning.

He had no doubt that Mr. Ward would have destroyed Drago Chou with his overwhelming power.

Compared to the magnificent Hughes Family, Drago Chou was just an ant.

But he gave Drago a chance again and again.

“Master, did you learn?”

Mr. Ward’s soft voice sounded in his ear.

Jack came out of his thoughts and looked at Mr. Ward. Jack smiled bitterly, “Yeah, I have.”

Mr. Ward nodded with satisfaction, “Master, your character, talent and capabilities are not inferior to the other elite young people in the family. It is just that your childhood experience and environment has restricted you. I just want you to know that after breaking away from this, some difficult things will become easier.”

Saying that, he pointed to Brent on the side.

“For example, when Brent was the mercenary king, he never reasoned with the mercenaries, nor weigh the pros and cons.”

“They don’t deserve it.” Brent’s face was calm but his eyes revealed untamed cruelness.

That cruelness was only reserved for him as the King of Mercenary.

Like the king of beasts in the jungle.

Jack stayed silent and carefully recalled how his previous method of action was indeed powerful and decisive. But overall, he still lacked the overbearing power of Mr. Ward and Brent.

Backed by the Hughes family, he was qualified to possess such domineering attitude.

He sighed heavily and then smiled, “I have bothered you a lot, Mr. Ward.”

Mr. Ward smiled in relief and said no more.

At the same time, the Chou family memorial hall was a noisy mess.

The solemn and sad atmosphere had since long ceased.

Drago sat slumped on his chair, his clothes already wet, looking embarrassed.

The smoke from his cigar was rising in spirals before he crushed the cigar butt in his hands.

The people around suddenly went quiet, looking at him warily, not even daring to breathe loudly for the fear of being burned alive by Drago.

Everyone knew that even though Drago was silent right now, his anger was a deadly beast which would kill whoever dare to get close.

He threw the crumpled cigar on the ground.

He looked up, swept his gaze around at everyone in the room and waved his hand, “All of you, leave! Now!”

Everyone went out one after another.

However, Chou family members hesitated to leave.

Drago looked at them coldly and said sharply, “I told you to leave.”

The people who were hesitated walked out at once with horrified looks.

Only Drago was left alone in the hall.

His eyes turned red, despair flushing his face. In a second, he looked like he aged more than ten years.

Deep regret surged through him.

If he could do it again, even if he had to let Diego die, he would have never provoked Jack.

He should have known his limits.

He wasn’t able to see through Jack to see his powerful background, but he knew that Jack was not someone he could provoke.

“It’s over… It’s all over…”

He cried. His voice echoing in the hall, “In vain, I ran so hard half my life. One slip up and ruined everything. Aiden Lott, what a smart man are you!”

On the other side.

TM Villa District.

In Aiden’s villa.

In his elegantly decorated office, Aiden held a cigarette between his fingers and the smoke swirled.
