Winner Takes All -
Chapter 359 Will You Compensate Me For Scaring The Baby?
"Argh!" Dyson was furious and suddenly turned to the side and vomited a mouthful of blood. His face instantly turned pale white.
Smash. The middle-aged man heard the commotion and kicked open the door. The middle-aged man was terrified when he saw Dyson vomited blood. He quickly held onto Dyson, "Brother, calm down, you're too worked up."
Dyson's pale face was devastated as he quivered, "The Assassin Squad just gave up the task. How could I not be angry? What the hell happened?"
The middle-aged man said, "Last night a huge news went viral on the dark net that sent shockwaves around the world, and it had not calmed down even now."
He said calmly but it was obvious that he was horrified, "Apparently, it was "Azrael", who is ranked first on Assassin Squad's Azrael list of killers. He left his demands on the homepage and the Assassin Squad was so shocked that they immediately canceled the hit on Jack."
Dyson shuddered and his face frowned deeply. He wasn't very familiar with the dark net.
In fact, unless a person was really hiding in the dark net or spends a lot of time on the dark net, any new visitors would not know the depths and extent of the dark net.
Dyson was not concerned about the first part of what he said and was more concerned about the latter part.
That, Azrael left his demands on the homepage, and the Assassin Squad was so shocked that they immediately canceled the hit on Jack.
What the hell...
"Poof!"
His fury raged and Dyson spat out another mouthful of blood. He was already pale and this time he became ghastly pale!
He clenched his teeth like a furious tiger, "One killer, just one killer could terrify the Assassin Squad so much that they rescinded the order? What the hell are they good for? I spent a billion USD for this hit and they don't even bother to give me a call before they canceled the order? They are nothing but scumbags!"
"Brother, please calm down!" The middle-aged man was shocked by his elder brother's fury.
Dyson didn't listen and looked furiously at the middle-aged man with bloodshot eyes.
Suddenly his eyes lit up when he thought of something and quickly asked, "Then what happened to the billion USD that we gave to the Assassin Squad? Since they canceled the order, then they should return the billion USD to us!" Although a billion USD was not a big amount to the Burton family assets, it was still cold hard cash!
When the order was given, they had transferred the billion USD to the Assassin Squad as payment. Although the family assets were huge, most of them were fixed assets. Now that the Burton family was on the decline, this billion USD was important for cashflow and critical for their business.
If they couldn't kill Jack, then they had to quickly return the money.
The middle-aged man hesitated before he clenched his teeth and said, "Actually, this is the important matter that I wanted to inform you about."
Dyson was stunned and his mind immediately filled with horror.
Following that, the middle-aged man said, "The Assassin Squad replied that the billion USD will not be returned as this was Azrael's personal demands and was not Assassin Squad's decision. Furthermore, they said that if the Burton family was unable to accept this, then we could go and look for them."
That was a total refusal to return the money! They had blatantly usurped the money!
Dyson's face became ghastly pale and it was like he was hit with a clear day thunderbolt. At this moment, he felt like everything was spinning around him and his chest was crushed by boulders. He was flooded with all sorts of emotions that raged and mixed together.
His body shook and his eyes turned red and welled up with tears as he yelled furiously, "Damn it, god damn it! How could the Assassin Squad be so unscrupulous? What's the difference with them stealing these monies from us?" As he burst out in fury, Dyson's body shook again and a big mouthful of blood flowed out. His body went limp and he slid to the floor.
"Dyson!" The middle-aged man was terrified as he rushed to Dyson.
"Revenge, I, I must have my revenge! Burton, Burton family and Jack... only one will remain!"
Following Dyson's outburst, his eyes closed, and fainted.
The middle-aged man gasped in horror and sat on the ground. Even he felt the despair and hopelessness of the situation. Azrael's emergence not only stopped the hit order on Jack, but he also caused the Assassin Squad to seize the Burton family's billion USD cash.
The saying "To lose a Kingdom for the want of a nail" was insufficient to describe this nightmare.
He was very clear of the nightmare which would come for the Burton family after losing the billion USD and not getting Jack killed.
At this moment of hopelessness and horror, the middle-aged man started to wonder how nice it would be if the Burton family did not put out a hit on Jack with the Assassin Squad. Even if they were on the decline, they would be able to last a long time with their wealth. Just like a camel would outlast a horse if they both were equally starved. But now this assassination order became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
At the Four Impressions Club.
Both Jack and Amber slept very late due to all the excitement. They hugged to sleep and were blissful and deeply in love.
But these were suddenly shattered by the anxious knocking on the door.
Knock knock knock...
"Master Hughes, missus, quickly get up!" Mr. Ward yelled from outside.
Jack and Amber were startled awake.
"This Mr. Ward is getting increasingly rude!" Jack was upset and frowned.
Amber rubbed her eyes like a kitten and said tenderly, "Hubby, why do you get upset when you wake up?"
Jack smiled tenderly and flicked Amber's nose as he said, "I'm worried that he startled you and affect the baby."
"Oh stop. Go quickly. If Mr. Ward was so anxious, something serious must have happened." Amber said.
Jack laughed as he dressed up and then left the bedroom. What made him bewildered was in addition to Mr. Ward, even Brent and Daisy were standing at the door with strange expressions on their faces. Jack looked at Mr. Ward and said with a heavy heart, "Mr. Ward, now that Amber is pregnant, you may scare her when you knock so anxiously on the door. How will you compensate me if you scared the baby?"
Mr. Ward's face turned red with awkwardness.
"I'm sorry, Master Hughes. It's because I was too excited and forgot about it." Mr. Ward quickly apologized and anxiously asked, "Did I scare missus just now?"
Forgot? Jack rolled his eyes. Who was the one who screamed and hollered in excitement when he found out about the pregnancy?
"She's okay. What's wrong with the three of you?" Jack shook his head and asked.
Mr. Ward and the other two exchanged looks and their expressions turned into joy.
"Master, why don't you guess?" Mr. Ward winked and smiled.
Jack rubbed his temples, "Mr. Ward, carry on with this and I will have to punish you for scaring my big and tiny darlings."
Mr. Ward's expression changed and laughed awkwardly as he waved his hands.
Then he said seriously, "Last night, the Dark Net Assassin Squad canceled the hit order on you. You have double the happiness in one night!"
Kaboom!
Jack's body shuddered and a loud boom sounded in his mind.
Really, really... the assassination order was really canceled?☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
