Winner Takes All

Looking at the short message, George Hughes's expression was gloomy, his eyes kept staring at the screen.

With his right hand holding the phone tightly, the veins on the fingers twitched.

Serious trouble, came back soon?

George thought it was funny.

He vowed to send Jack Hughes to hell regardless of cost. Now they wanted him to go back only by a simple message?

Could it be funnier?

Seeing George was giggling, a dozen of servants who were kneeling on the ground shuddered with cold sweat on their forehead.

This smile made they feel horrified.

However.

When George was about to put down his mobile phone, another text message came over.

"Grandma's order! Come back home soon!"

The smile froze on George's face and he seemed to be hesitated.

He didn't care who sent this text message.

He was determined to sacrifice his life to kill Jack, so he didn't need to care about other things.

But now, the grandma's order must be treated differently.

After he was assigned mission by Dark Net Assassin Squad, the only person who backed him up was grandmother even though she didn't like him.

He even didn't care what his brother Killian Hughes said.

But to Madam Hughes's order, he still had to respect.

"Grandma won't hurt me." He thought.

George made a decision in an instant. "We will pack up and go back to Hughes's house immediately."

Heard the words.

A dozen of servants and guards immediately felt relief.

Five minutes later.

Several cars drove away from the villa.

At Hughes's backyard.

Killian Hughes and Ivy Hughes sat opposite each other.

Ivy put down her phone and looked at Killian in amazement, "Killian, are we in serious trouble now?"

"Yes!"

Killian pushed the glasses and said in a deep voice, "Master's command, we need to convene worldwide Head Doctor."

"How could this happen? Which senior in the family had an accident?" Ivy exclaimed.

Only the senior with high authority in the family who can let the master convene worldwide Head Doctor. And the problem would be so serious that if anything went wrong, it would endanger the foundation of the Hughes family.

Ordinary people, even the heirs of the Hughes family, were not enough to receive such treatment.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

The Hughes family was paramount and powerful. They indeed had an unparalleled appeal.

But convening worldwide Head Doctor had different meaning.

The Head Doctor saved the dying and healed the wounded magically, they always held the lifelines of people.

To find the people, even if the call was from the Hughes family, they still had to pay a price.

Just money reward was no longer enough, but the favor of the Hughes family! Hughes family favor was better than any amount of pecuniary reward!

After Ivy heard what Killian said, she took a glance of her phone immediately.

Killian came to her and asked her to notify George with a SIM new card.

Even though it was hard to track George's location, which was always mysterious, but Ivy also guessed out that George must go to find Jack.

If it was the senior in the family, the Hughes family would already in a chaos now.

It was impossible to be this peaceful.

Could it be...?

Ivy's beautiful eyes widely opened and asked Killian surprisingly, "Have George successfully done that?"

"I don't know yet."

Killian didn't try to conceal it from her and shook his head, "The master issued an order to convene the Head Doctor without notifying anyone. But it would be pretty much as we thought about it, if the master sent out the command."

"But Killian, you sent a fake grandma's command to ask George to come back. Didn't you put your neck into the noose?" Ivy was concerned.

"We take a risk!"

Killian said solemnly, "We took a risk to see if George could take actions secretly enough this time. If he returned home in time and acted secretively, when the master investigate this afterwards we probably could cover it through."

After a pause, Killian said again, "If anyone noticed this, we can only blame George didn't have enough good fortune."

After speaking, Killian stood up and left.

Although he admitted Madam Hughes and Carter Hughes's statement of "Ruthlessness is the mark of a truly great man". George was his younger brother, he must help him.

At the critical moment, reminded him once and helped him secretly. That was the best he could done for him.

Now, Killian was stuck between Madam Hughes and Patrick, and his goal was to be the master. He must have done things fairly and decidedly.

Ruthlessness was the mark of a truly great man.

Ivy stood there benumbed with terror.

Watching Killian's back, she suddenly felt coldness all over her body and whispered in a low voice, "George, wouldn't you really be caught by them?" At the same time.

In Patrick's study.

Patrick was sitting upright, with a lit cigarette between his fingertips.

Opposite him, Madam Hughes was sitting there holding a dragon head cane.

Madam Hughes sat upright with a grim expression on her face.

In the study, the atmosphere was solemn and serious.

These two kept looking at each other like this for nearly half an hour.

The cigarette burned out.

Patrick stub out the cigarette and lit another one. He took a light inhale and slowly exhaled the smoke.

He was staring at Madam Hughes on the opposite side through the smoke.

Patrick jokingly smiled, "Madam, people can't stand the harm of second-hand smoke at your age."

"I'm not as weak as you said." Madam Hughes took a glimpse of him.

Patrick smiled teasingly, picked up the cigarette case and handed it to Madam Hughes, "Well, have one then?"

"You..."

Madam Hughes was outraged, gritted her teeth and said, "Patrick, you are the head of Hughes, how could you act like the gangster on the street?"

"You called me gangster only because I smoke?" Patrick's smile disappeared from his face and in a deep voice he said, "Madam, I'm the one who send command, if you don't show your respect, don't blame me for being mad at you."

Boom!

Madam Hughes pocked the cane down on the ground, "Then dare you kill me?"

"Madam, don't be that serious. I wouldn't kill you only because I smoked and you scolded at me. Wouldn't you be easy to kill in that way?" Patrick said.

Jerk!

Asshole!

You were not qualified to be the head of Hughes!

Madam heart beat wildly and breathed heavily.

Everyone could tell she wanted to kill Patrick alive.

She gritted her teeth and asked, "Let me ask you, what on earth is worthwhile for the order you sent out? Do you know how much favor will Hughes have to owe to call for Head Doctor?"

"And do you know how much money should we pay for all those favor in the future?"

You could price a gold, but favors were priceless.

After a series of questions, Madam Hughes instantly felt she was noble, as if the elders made the most righteous reprimands to the reckless and ignorant young boy.

"I know! But I have to send it!"

Patrick's eye sight sharpened and he looked imperatorial while sitting on the chair.

In an instant, everyone could feel he became more indifferent and remorseless.

A harsh voice came from Patrick's mouth.

"Then let me ask you, I'm the master of Hughes, and it's about my son. Why shouldn't I issue this order?"

Boom!

After hearing his word, Madam Hughes stood transfixed with shock.

The anger remained on her face, but her nerves on the corner of her eyes was eased a bit.

The changes were too small to discover.

"Good, good, good!"

Madam Hughes gritted her teeth and called out 'good' three times. Then said, "Patrick, Jack is your own son and I can't control both of you. Also, you never listen to me. But I have to remind you that once the order has been issued, you, Patrick Hughes, will pay off the favors you owe in the future. Don't expect the rest of the Hughes family help you pay back the favors of saving your own son!"
