Winner Takes All
Chapter 488 Departure

The next day.

Nine o'clock in the morning.

Nervous vibes lingered throughout SH guildhall.

Thirty cars and few hundreds of people were assembled to form a car troop.

This number was just the people in the car troop.

The number of Grand Freemasons' members whom Carlos and Isaac delegated along the journey was exponential. The setup was bigger than when few thousands of people trying to find Jack in the sea.

Getting ready, solemn expressions were seen on all car troopers' faces.

The atmosphere was so tense it felt like the air in SH guildhall froze.

This huge setup also alerted the Chinatown like an atomic bomb.

Masses gathered in front of SH guildhall just as back when SH guildhall was blew up.

"Gosh! What is Grand Freemasons doing in such early morning? This is such a huge setup!"

"Are they going to revenge for the bombing incident?"

"That must be it, Grand Freemasons had never been humiliated like this that their centre was blown up. Those people will now have to deal with Grand Freemasons' rage!"

Listening to the gossiping of the masses.

Carlos and Isaac, who were standing in front of the car troop giving commands, looked at each other and forced a smile.

Everyone thought Grand Freemasons was setting up a huge scene to go for revenge.

But who knew this was actually a "suicide" mission?

Everything was ready.

With Isaac's command, the grand car troop departed simultaneously. They left Chinatown and advanced according to the route that Jack had planned. They kept on advancing.

It was impossible for the thirty-car car troop to not grab onlookers' attention.

There were onlookers gathering around along the way, astonished by the scene.

The other cars on the roads also moved aside for the car troop's advancement.

After all, nobody wanted to mess with a sports car troop.

Sitting in one of the cars, Jack opened a small gap in the window. Taking in the sensation of the sea breeze, he looked pleased.

"It had been almost one month since I get some fresh air like this."

Narrowing his eyes, Jack seemed to be reminiscing, "But this sea breeze reminds me of the night when I jumped off the cliff into the sea."

"Hope everything goes well today."

Contrast to Jack's ease, Isaac had on a grim face.

With his hand constantly resting on the weapon by his waist, he was vigilant of the surroundings the whole time.

"Take it easy." Jack patted Isaac on the shoulder, "You're a few years older than me, don't act like you're less seasoned than I am. We're now crossing the bridge across the sea, do you think the assassins can jump out from the sea and shoot a missile at us?"

Isaac was speechless.

Jack's calmness was beyond his expectation.

It made him started to doubt, who was the one being protected here?

Bang!

At this moment, a thunderous sound was heard coming from behind the troop.

"Is there an accident?"

Jack and Isaac turned to the back simultaneously. Nothing else was in sight other than the long troop and a heavy smoke rising behind it.

Almost at the same time, Isaac's walkie-talkie sounded.

"The troop was tailgated by a yellow McLaren. Just a regular accident, over."

Jack smiled and retrieved his laid-back self.

And Isaac sighed a breath of relief.

The troop continued to advance.

After they crossed the bridge, the cars and buildings around them started to became more compact.

Jack closed the gap in the window.

Here was where the danger really began!

Through the tinted window, he could see the buildings outside. There were skyscrapers and some stale establishments.

This was the first time he got a feel of the world on this land after his immense effort to get here.

Suddenly.

A burst of light shone from the top of a building.

Jack immediately narrowed his eyes.

"Watch out!"

Jack burst out almost immediately.

However.

Vroom!

With a thunderous roar, one of the cars in the troop blew up and flames were shooting towards the sky.

"Assault, assault, there's sniper!"

A hasty voice sounder from Isaac's walkie-talkie.

Jack frowned while pointing into a direction, "It's over that rooftop!"

Isaac immediately said into the walkie-talkie, "Grand Freemasons, neutralize the target in the north-west direction immediately!"

Putting down the walkie-talkie, Isaac's eyes turned grim, "Damn, these people are nuts. This is too soon!"

The car troop continued to advance with poise.

The people who received order from Isaac a moment ago were the Grand Freemasons' members who were lurking in the area nearby.

They moved out as the order was delivered.

With only one assault, the car troop crossed the building-compact area smoothly.

"There should be a few more waves of assassins after this."

With coldness in his eyes, Jack rubbed his nose, "But those are probably just cover ups to keep the pressure on us. They will place the real assassins in the slum."

Isaac took out the map and frowned while looking at it, "There's two more kilometers to the slum."

He took a deep breath and looked at Jack gravely, "We can still change the route now."

"Since the game has already started, it'll be unfair to change the rules halfway."

With a smirk, a hint of madness flashed in Jack's eyes.

With his brows furrowed, Isaac hesitated and gave the revolver at his waist to Jack.

"Take it for self defense."

"You don't really think I'm not able to protect myself at all, do you? Calm down, I'm crippled now. I can't do anything crazy that Carlos thought I might."

Jack smiled lightly and pushed the gun back to Isaac, "I'm in the same car as you, which means I'm not going to survive if you're dead. So what's the point of having this?" "It's better than nothing. At least you won't be a dead meat if anything happens to me."

Isaac looked at Jack's leg while he said that. He didn't plan to care about his feelings while saying that.

He couldn't risk caring about his feelings given their situation.

The only thing he could do was to give Jack some self defense capability!

Seeing Jack still wouldn't take the gun, Isaac smiled, "I have another one in the trunk, a big one. I'm not used to using this kind of smaller ones."

Jack smiled, took the gun and got a feel of it. Then he gave Isaac a wry smile, "You a grown man yet you still care about size, tsk tsk..."

Isaac was speechless.000
