Winner Takes All novel Chapter 984

The boy was completely dumbfounded.

He didn’t expect that, after taking his little sister with him to escape and save their life, they already hid themselves in that deserted alley.

He couldn’t believe that he could meet Jack when he turned his head!

In the line of sight, his sister Amanda already pounced on Jack’s body and called very cautiously.

Her voice was low like the buzz of a mosquito.

The boy sighed helplessly, as if he was resigned to his fate.

Dragging the bamboo mat, he crept to Amanda’s side and crouched down. “Amanda, you hold the mat. Let me look at him.”

He didn’t want to pay attention to the man in front of him, but he couldn’t be indifferent to his sister’s attitude.

More importantly, after escaping until that point, he met him. Such a cruel fate simply left him speechless.

Since he met him, he couldn’t just stand idly by and watch Amanda being in a hurry.

Amanda quickly took over the bamboo mat, propped it up a little bit and tried to let the bamboo mat cover the three of them.

Now they were escaped slaves, so they were not out of danger at all.

At that moment, there was a mess outside. As long as they went out in the thirteen cities of the Royal Palace, their embarrassed expression could be easily recognized.

Fortunately, none of them entered the auction house, and none of them was tattooed as a slave.

Anyway, at least for the time being, they had to hide themselves cautiously.

If found out, even an ordinary person from the thirteen cities of the Royal Palace would have the right to own them and turn them into slaves.

Even a child like Amanda knew the cruelty on the snowy plain.

That was nothing more than a child like Amanda who always kept a kindness in his heart.

“It’s all right. No problem, but there’s no way to save him right now.”

After an examination, the boy’s expression relaxed and he said to his sister Amanda , “Let’s hide here until dark. After dark, I will go out to look for food and some medicine. Like that, maybe we could save him.”

He said those words principally to calm down Amanda.

He was just a teenager, but also a child. How could he know something about medicine?

He just checked on Jack’s injuries, but the examination didn’t reveal too much about what was going on inside him.

That faint dead man in front of him could still be “saved”, as long as he kept breathing.

As expected.

The worried look on Amanda’s face faded a little.

She held up the bamboo mat with difficulty and looked at the boy with a grin. “Thank you.”

“Okay, I’ll do it.”

The boy took the bamboo mat in Amanda’s hand. “Hold on until dark. Although we already escaped without problems, we still need to find a way and get a suit of clothes. Like that, we would finally get rid of our status of slaves.”

On the snowy plain outside the city, all the real slaves were tattooed to prove their status of slaves.

However, people like Jack and Amanda had not yet entered the auction house and didn’t have time to be tattooed.

That was a silver lining.

Once you are tattooed, you would never be free of slavery in your life.

But when it got dark.

Even for the most prosperous tribes of Hun of the Royal Palace, and the thirteen cities, it was another story.

In the night, people like Amanda and the boy, who lived in humble homes in the dark corners of the cities, would walk on the streets.

It was not too much to say, “hundreds of ghosts walking at night.”

At nightfall.

There were all sorts of people on the street, all mixed up.

People were mixed among with decent people and shifty ones. That was why it became easier to sow discord and create confusion.

Sure, the stakes were a bit high, but for a boy, the payoff was definitely a win!
