Winner Takes All
Chapter 620 Ruthless And Cold-blooded Killian

Inside the Buddhist temple.

The sound of chanting echoed.

The sandalwood fragrance was everywhere.

After George made the decision, he had quickly mobilized his trusted servants and guards like a maniac and quietly left the Hughes family without being noticed by anyone.

Killian was full of grief and indignation.

But he knew that George was a madman and could not be stopped at all.

Now, he had followed Madam Hughes and Carter back to the Buddhist temple.

Killian finally couldn't stop himself from asking, "Grandma, this matter has not been thoroughly investigated. We have accused, only based on our guess, that the person who has issued the assassination mission of Dark Net Assassin Squad is Jack. It would be a disaster for George!"

He wasn't trying to help Jack.

On the contrary, he was even more eager for Jack to die.

As soon as Jack died, he was going to lose a strong competitor in the competition to be the head of the family.

But he knew very clearly, that how much George would be harmed with just one word from Madam Hughes.

It was... forcefully pushing George into the fire pit and sending him on the way to hell!

If the person who issued the assassination was not Jack, the iron-clad laws of the Hughes family alone were enough for Patrick to order George to die a thousand times!

Even if it was Jack, George had done the job himself and now it was going to be very hard for him to escape death.

By leaving the Hughes family, he not only had to face countless assassins from the Dark Net Assassin Squad, but he was more likely to be killed by Jack himself!

If he was an outsider, he wouldn't have said anything.

Even if he had seen through it, he wouldn't have said anything. He would have even helped Madam Hughes bewitch.

But George was his own brother. Now that he saw George sullenly jumping into the trap, he couldn't bear it as his older brother.

Madam Hughes who was twirling the Buddhist beads and chanting, suddenly stopped.

Her old face was full of disappointment, her brows frowned as she said in a deep voice, "Killian, could it be that I misjudged you and shouldn't have put my hope in you?" Anxious Killian froze immediately, panic flashed in his eyes.

Madam Hughes slowly sighed with regret, "Those who make great achievements must be ruthless. A great man has to be ruthless. If you don't take risks and let the head of the family protect that bastard, do you think you can be qualified to become the next head of the family?"

"Have you forgotten that even when that bastard wielded a knife on me, the head of the family didn't blame him a bit."

*Boom*

A huge wave was set off in Killian's heart.

In a daze, he recalled everything since the appearance of Jack.

Madam Hughes words made him panic.

Given the paternal protection that Jack had, the probability of Killian becoming the head of the family was almost nonexistent if Jack did not die.

There was no exception, even if his grandmother stood beside him in support.

"George is the risk that we have to take!"

Madam Hughes raised her head and stared at Killian indifferently, "If you don't remove the obstacles in the way of your future by sacrificing George, then how would you become the head of the family?" "But... But he is my own brother." Killian's expressions looked complicated.

"Huh? Brother? Compared to the position of the head of the Hughes family, which one is more important? Can't you figure it out?"

Madam Hughes sneered and then her expressions suddenly became stern, "Killian, I value you. I want to push you to the position of the head of the Hughes family because I value your abilities and temperament. The head of the Hughes family who holds the most power and wealth can only be someone sophisticated and talented enough to guide this family towards more power and glory. But you... made me very disappointed!"

Killian's body shuddered and he knelt on the ground in fear.

When Madam Hughes berating him, he panicked horribly.

Just a word "disappointment" was probably enough to make him fall out Madam Hughes's good books.

Without Madam Hughes behind him, he would have completely lost any opportunity to become the head of the family.

The atmosphere was grim.

Madam Hughes was so aggressive that Killian didn't even dare to breathe.

He knelt on the ground, his body trembling faintly.

His gaze was hesitant.

On one side was the position as the head of the family that he dreamed of. Once he became the head of the Hughes family, he would be the most powerful person under the world, he was going to be above al living beings.

On the other side, it was his own brother.

And then there was Killian's character, making him sink in a predicament.

Standing on the side, Carter said slowly, "Killian, people who are not ruthless are unstable. You want to win the crown of the head of the Hughes family but you can't even make a decision? A real man makes the decision at the right time. If you are not ruthless, then how can you be qualified to win?"

Killian's pupils contracted and he clenched his teeth suddenly.

However, Carter smiled gently, guiding him patiently, "Grandma has already helped you so much, what else do you want? She is trying all her best to smooth out the thorny road ahead of you. What's more, Jack is still a huge mountain in the way of your becoming the head of the family. George's sacrifice is only to make you succeed."

"You must learn how to give up and which one is important, and this is the way that has the highest probability of making you the head of the Hughes family."

"What's more, you think that George is not preemptive? Even if the Dark Net Assassin Squad mission is indeed released by Jack, do you think Jack will let George live?"

His voice was gentle but extremely firm.

Each word was slamming fiercely against Killian's eardrums like a heavy hammer.

Killian's expressions became more and more dazed.

"Carter, what use is there for you to talk to this indecisive mediocre asshole?"

Madam Hughes squinted at Carter and said coldly, "He has disappointed me so much. He regarded my expectation of him and the position of the head of the family as worthless shit, not even as important as George's life. You promised so much, but let me down bitterly. Out of all of the past heads of the Hughes family, which of them did not sit on the heap of bones?"

"This is great. The person I chose turned out to be an indecisive unaccountable mediocre waste of space. It's really ridiculous..."

"Mom, calm down. Killian was just a bit impulsive. You..."

Carter was taken aback and hurriedly appeased her.

It was just that his words were not finished.

A determined voice suddenly exploded, interrupting him.

"I am sorry, Grandma. I was wrong. I shouldn't be indecisive or covet blood relatives. You and Uncle Carter has taught me right. Those who make great achievements must be ruthless. A great man has to be ruthless. If you are not ruthless, then how can you be qualified to win?"

At this moment, Killian's eyes were bloodshot and teary.

He resolutely became an indifferent person.

The hesitation from before was no longer there.

He emanated a chill that even Madam Hughes and Carter could feel in their bones.

The two of them also showed gratifying smiles at the same time.

"Killian, this is how it should be. Only this way, my mother's effort will be worthwhile."

Carter immediately smiled and praised, "George's sacrifice will not go in vain. He is helping you become the next head of the Hughes family!"

"Yes, Uncle Carter."

Killian nodded indifferently, a sharp smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, "If I can't dare to hurt my own brother, then I really don't have the right to be the head of the family. When I take the position as the head of the family, I shall invite George to the ancestral temple and worship him all my life!"

"Good boy! You finally understand your grandmother's suffering."

The anger disappeared from Madam Hughes face as she nodded and smiled with relief. Then she waved her hand, "You go back first. This matter must not be mentioned to anyone. We will wait for the good news to arrive and hope that all our hard work will be rewarded."

After Killian left.

Carter smiled suddenly, "Mom, I am really surprised that Killian was bewitched just by a few words from you."

Madam Hughes smiled disdainfully, "He is just a kid, that's all. When a dog that has already been forced into the corner becomes anxious, of course it will jump over the wall. It is not that I bewitched him, but that he was so muddleheaded by hatred that he bewitched himself and gave us such a good feedback."0000000☐☐☐☐☐
