Winner Takes All -
Chapter 332 My Uncle Brown Is Back!
It was tranquil and peaceful at the Bamboo grove.
Jack was barely able to sit up. With Amber's help, he was able to sit onto the wheelchair and proceeded to the living hall. Amber made a pot of exquisite Longjing tea and lit some incense while Brent and Mr. Ward waited quietly at one side.
The atmosphere was calm and peaceful.
"They should be back soon, right?" Jack asked as he sipped some tea.
"They were gone for half an hour and should be back soon." Mr. Ward nodded.
Jack smiled and placed down the teacup, "I didn't expect that it had just been three days and the Reaper's Scythe has arrived again. Who is it this time?"
"Master, it's number 72 on the Azrael list." Mr. Ward said.
Jack laughed with disdain, "I wonder if he will shit in his pants when he saw Daisy!"
Daisy was not severely injured. Her fighting abilities were still strong although it was slightly affected by her injuries.
It was clear that Lone Wolf was inexperienced in handling such situations. Though the protection guards worked well with each other, they lack a leader to ensure that they were effective in coordinating their capabilities. The assassination attempt by Kotaro was the best example of this shortcoming. But now, Daisy could become the leader that the guards needed.
Whether was it out of respect for Brent or based on her capabilities, the protection guards were willing to abide by her instructions.
As soon as they said, footsteps could be heard from outside.
Daisy and Lone Wolf walked in soon after.
"Mr. Hughes, it's been settled." Daisy reported calmly, "During the counter strike, I sensed that there is someone else in the shadows. It must be the other one on the Azrael list. But after the counter strike, that killer must have escaped."
"With Daisy around, that killer must have been scared out of his wits."
Jack smiled calmly and was hardly surprised. Although Daisy's "Mengpo" identity was well hidden, her skills were clearly displayed. It was normal for one of the two killers on the bottom of the Azrael list, who combined for the assassination attempt, to turn and run when he saw Daisy killing one of the top killers.
"Mr. Hughes has a good sense of humor." Daisy was steady and calm. Her courage and determination were clear to everyone. It was hard to imagine that the Daisy in front of them was the cheerful and meek Daisy who had been busy with daily housework just days ago.
Jack rubbed his nose and said, "So now the top killer we know of is left with Ghost."
On hearing this, everyone's expression darkened. The two killers on the bottom of the list were not of concern to them. With the capabilities of the protection guards, only the killers on the top of the Azrael list could pose as a threat to Jack's life.
Ghost... was a killer they could not belittle! Someone who was ranked tenth on the Azrael list must be far more deadly than Kotaro. What was far more alarming was the only ones who could take on Ghost were Brent and Daisy of whom one was still in the wheelchair while the other had slight injuries.
As for the protection guards, Jack, Mr. Ward, and Amber all understood that all the high-tech systems and weapons were useless when a truly skilled killer came for them. Just as in the encounter with Kotaro. "Mr. Ward, is there any news from my father?" Jack asked as he narrowed his eyes.
Mr. Ward hesitated and then said, "Master, as I expected, these assassination attempts didn't seem to have any signs of Madam Hughes' involvement."
"Who could it be if not her?" Jack rubbed his nose and pondered deeply.
Just at this moment, Jack received a call from an unknown caller.
The caller said with a raspy and extremely mesmerizing voice, "Come out!"
Jack shuddered and was stunned. This voice was... Brown Hughes! Instantly, a huge wave of emotions surged within Jack.
Jack asked in disbelief, "You came out of there? That place..."
"I come and go as I please. Who dares to restrict Brown Hughes' movement?"
This statement was bold and arrogant. But Jack was clear that a person who could control a prison like the Black Hell was fully capable of making such bold statements!
With a deep breath, Jack suppressed his excitement and asked, "Whereabouts?"
"Your mom's grave!"
Bang! The call ended.
Jack smiled with relief and said, "Mr. Ward, prepare the cars, I'm going to pay my respects to my mother."
Kaboom! The statement shocked everyone.
Was he insane? They were in a state of emergency and countless killers were targeting them. Yet he wanted to go out at such a time?
"Jack, you can't go out!" Amber was the first to speak. Mr. Ward and Brent were all in agreement with Amber.
Mr. Ward continued to nag, "Please reconsider, Master. We are in a very tense situation and Ghost may appear at any time. We are not even very safe at the Four Impressions Club. If now you were to go to your mother's grave, it's practically..."
Mr. Ward did not say the words "digging your grave" because he was Jack's servant and some words were inappropriate.
"Digging my grave?" Jack joked and glanced at everyone before looking at Amber. He then smiled radiantly and said, "What if I were to say that not only can I come back alive, I can resolve the current state of our insecurity?"
What?! Everyone was stunned.
Before anyone could say anything, Jack smiled and said, "I've found someone who could handle Ghost!"
Ten minutes later.
The modified and armored Rolls Royce slowly drove out of the Four Impressions Club. Twenty bulletproofed BMWs followed closely behind the Rolls Royce. The motorcade was magnificent and attracted much attention.
Jack looked at the rearview mirror and couldn't see the end of the motorcade. He said to Mr. Ward helplessly, "Mr. Ward, with this arrangement, aren't you announcing to the world that I had left the Four Impressions Club? Are you protecting me or attracting the killers to me?"
Mr. Ward blushed and said bitterly, "What else could I do? This was the only way I could keep you safe."
Jack was speechless. He looked at the calm Daisy and then Lone Wolf who was driving and constantly looking at their surroundings. Dangers lurked at every corner. They had to drive very carefully. "Master, who are you going to see with the excuse of visiting your mother?" Mr. Ward suddenly asked. Lone Wolf and Daisy also appeared to be curious about this. They were clear of Jack's temperament. Anyone who could have Jack visit him in this time of emergency must be an extraordinary person!
"Mr. Ward, you should know this person." Jack rubbed his nose, laughed as he looked outside, and revealed a rare expression of relief not seen recently and said, "My Uncle Brown is back."
His simple words caused Mr. Ward to react with surprise, his body tensed up with eyes wide open.
