Winner Takes All
Chapter 496 Who Dared to be a Winner without Being Shrewd?

The laughter was frosty and thick with ridicule.

Felix was extremely horrified and all his hair stood on ends. He could see that Jack's demeanor had changed drastically. Jack was no longer grieving, frightened, and worried. He was only left with cold laughter and indignation.

He was so calm that Felix's right hand, which was on the trigger, hesitated. Felix had already tried his best to conceal his nervousness.

He had repeatedly sent the killers through a middleman. Even the ambush at the slums was arranged by a middleman. When Jack and Rena escaped, he could not resist it anymore and chased after them. But now Jack had become so calm and steady. Could it be that ... Jack had expected this?

The next moment, Felix panicked and looked around. He wanted to see if there was a reason for Jack's confidence.

"Stop searching. I'm really escaping with Rena. I didn't expect to come to this. It's all a coincidence. There isn't anyone around." Jack laid on the ground and smiled as his face was covered with blood, "If you hadn't dashed out, I would have sent Rena to the hospital. She had already lost consciousness due to the severe loss of blood. Don't you think that it's funny that you entrapped yourself at this moment?" 'Entrapped myself?' Felix was stunned for a moment and then laughed, "That's indeed funny. You are already a useless cripple with no one to rescue you. You will die just as she would!"

Then as he finished saying.

Thud! A blunt impact could be heard. Felix suddenly winced as a sharp pain was transmitted from his right leg. The pain radiated from the bone and Felix instinctively bent down to try to stop the pain. But at that moment, Felix's expression changed drastically as if he had seen a ghost. He looked in horror as the body in front of him stood up so rapidly like a flash of lightning.

Before he could come to his horrified senses, a large hand already grabbed his handgun with a finger jamming the trigger and he could no longer fire the gun. Felix had already forgotten about shooting Rena. He was extremely horrified as he turned pale while looking at Jack.

"You, how are you able to stand up? Aren't you a cripple?" He couldn't help but doubt his information sources.

In order to complete the task of killing Jack, he had carefully researched in detail. He managed to find out from multiple sources and finally confirmed that Jack was a cripple and had lost the use of both of his legs.

One of his sources was even a doctor who had examined Jack! How could Jack fool even that doctor? That was why he was so gripped with horror and surprise at that moment.

"I'm also very surprised that when I was saved, my legs were never that badly hurt. But how could you have been overjoyed and became complacent if I revealed the truth about my condition?" Jack scoffed coldly as he looked sharply and sinisterly at Felix. His aggressiveness was welling up and ready to erupt.

"You were plotting this from the beginning?" Felix started to tremble as Jack stared at him. He could feel the chills running down his spine. Felix never felt so fearful and hopeless in his life. To think that Jack had been pretending to be a cripple all this while to entrap him! How shrewd and scheming was this person?

Just as Felix was panicking, Jack's left hand surged and grabbed the gun from Felix's hand.

'Damn it!' Felix had lost his only sense of security. Immediately Felix raged and his killer instincts took over. Whoosh! Immediately his left hand grabbed the dagger and descended onto the unconscious Rena. He wasn't a fool. Jack had plotted from the beginning and was not a cripple. He was no match for Jack if they fought one on one. The only way for him to leave with his life was to take Rena as a hostage. Then, slash! Fresh blood splattered.

As the dagger was about to descend onto Rena's throat, Jack's right hand swiftly grabbed the blade. The sharp blade sliced deep into Jack's palm. Fresh blood flowed. What shocked Felix was the blade could not move a fraction.

Jack grabbed tightly onto the blade as his blood continued to flow. His frosty expression exuded a thick desire to kill.

"Who dared to be a winner without being shrewd?" Jack's voice echoed in the alley. His yell was bone-chilling and practically at freezing point.

Felix was dejected and realized that he had lost. It was as if he knew that he was hopelessly outclassed and outmatched.

As Jack yelled, his eyes narrowed to a slit and it was as if death emerged from his eyes!

Bang! The gun fired.

"Argh!" Felix screamed as his body tensed up and he dropped his dagger while he stepped backward.

He grabbed onto his abdomen. No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to stop the blood from pouring out. Fear, horror, and disbelief...

Felix shuddered and slowly lifted his head to look at Jack. He could see the smoking gun barrel in Jack's hand. This handgun was given to Jack by Isaac for self-protection!

Thud! Felix's body slumped onto the ground.

Jack held the gun as he walked nearer to him. Jack took his time as he walked over as if death was creeping towards Felix.

Felix sat on the ground and tried to retreat as his blood flowed onto the ground and begged, "I beg you, I beg of you not to kill me... please let me go... I, I am a Hughes. You will break the most sacred rule of the Hughes family regulations if you kill me."

Jack suddenly felt extremely amused. What Felix just said was so familiar! Jack laughed, "Didn't I say that to you just now and now you repeated it to me. So this proves that the family rules are just crap!" Jack lunged towards Felix. Felix didn't and couldn't escape. In the blink of an eye, Jack grabbed Felix's throat and yelled, "Dare to kill my woman? Die!"

Bang, bang, bang...

A series of gunshots rang out in the alley until the bullets were all spent before Jack released Felix. Jack stood up and walked towards the Hummer without looking back. Behind him, Felix's lifeless body collapsed to the ground.

Rena laid unconscious on the seat and was pale from the severe loss of blood.

"Silly girl, I told you that I'll save you." Jack slowly carried Rena from the car and walked out of the alley, "Even if you're unconscious, I'll still be able to step on the accelerator and take you to the hospital."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
