Winner Takes All

Silence.

The whole courtyard was quiet.

The bleak wind in the autumn and the yellow falling leaves.

Everything seemed to freeze.

The blood splattered on Jack's face, making the furious face even scarier.

Just like the arrival of Killer God.

Everyone was stunned.

Looking at Jack, the ferociousness and ruthless that he carried.

In just a few seconds.

The adequate protection was overwhelming; it was like everything the Hughes family could ever offer.

Even so, he could still kill George in public.

Moreover, he was covered in wounds while doing that.

Was it...really possible for any human being?

Jack's domineering, decisive and fearless act made everyone tremble.

He left everyone in fear and disbelief.

Even for Killian, he was of no exception.

He never felt that there was a big difference between himself and Jack.

Having the master of the family as father, could really change everything.

Until now, he finally realize that the gap between him and Jack was so significant.

Patrick stood in the middle of the crowd, looking at the blood splashing. He went blank and felt like the sky had fallen.

Such aggressive and decisive move got his heart twitched.

But...there was no turning back anymore.

Patrick clenched his fists in a trance and trembled, he glared at Jack with his red and teary eyes.

Boom!

Jack released George's collar.

He murmured as George fell in a pool of blood.

Finally, everything in the courtyard went back to normal.

"George!"

Killian wailed, and his expression turned ferocious in an instant.

He was cold-blooded, he was cruel.

But after all, George and him are blood brothers.

Even though Madam Hughes and Carter had hinted him about "Ruthlessness is the mark of truly great man", he still found it hard to let go of his blood brother for twenty over years. Killian got really pissed off watching George lying in a pool of blood.

His face turned dark red, and eyes became reddish, like a mad man.

"Kill you! I will kill you!"

He rushed to Jack on the ground staggeringly.

"Get him!"

Upon seeing that, Patrick shouted without hesitation.

The guards and elites hurried to Jack immediately.

If they did not catch Jack, he would be murdered by Killian.

It might look like an arrest, but it was actually Patrick's protection of Jack in disguise.

As the guards and elites stepped forward, some people held Jack up from the ground and some went ahead and stopped Killian.

"Let go of me, let go of me, I want to kill him, I want to kill him!"

Killian struggled desperately, his yelling echoed in the backyard.

However, the guards and elites did not mean to let go at all. On the contrary, they pushed Killian back while grabbing him hard.

Jack was caught with his blood-stained and scary face.

He looked like a thirsty beast right at this moment.

He stared directly at Killian who was still roaring and asked in a cold voice, "Do you...also want to die?"

Boom!

Once he said that,

Everyone in the courtyard was like getting struck by the lightning.

Was he insane?

Where did he get his courage from? He could still kill Killian?

While Killian was being stared by Jack, his heart twitched and his back felt chilly.

He strangely stopped yelling for a second.

Watching Jack being held up by the crowd, Killian became daring again.

"Come! Come and kill me!"

His loud yelling echoed the courtyard.

Right at this time,

Patrick walked out from the crowd, he did not look at Jack; neither did he look at George who was dead on the ground.

Instead, he walked straight to Killian and said in sadness, "Killian, calm down. George's death was inevitable. Now we should think of what to do next."

Just one sentence, without siding with anyone at all.

However,

Killian suddenly shouted, "Inevitable? Master, isn't it too inappropriate for you to say this? It was your son who sent the Kill Declaration and killed George despite all the protection from the Hughes Family; it's your biological son, the jerk behind you!"Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

"You, won't you protect him?"

Snapped!

Patrick slapped Killian hard.

It was a hard slap using all his strength.

Half of Killian's face was swollen; blood can be seen at the corner of his mouth.

Patrick was extremely angry.

Jack's decisive action had already brought him despair and anger.

He pretended to be giving advice, but what he got in return was being scolded by Killian.

All his anger was released on this slap.

"As the master of the family, how can I allow you to slander me like this?" Patrick scolded sharply with his brows wrinkled.

"Then, why not you kill this jerk!"

Killian turned his head abruptly, he smiled evilly with his blood stained mouth. He threw his gaze to Patrick, and said fearlessly, "Sending Kill Declaration is already a deadly crime, now this jerk had killed George, it's even more unforgivable. Why don't you give any order?"

Patrick's eyebrows furrowed deeper.

At this exact moment, he was in dilemma despite his wisdom and experience.

Killian's words forced and put him into a difficult situation that could not be resolved easily.

As for Jack behind him...that was his own son!

"Ah!"

Jack suddenly laughed, with his face covered in blood, his smile appeared extra terrifying.

The guards and elites who were holding him were so scared that their expressions changed drastically, their hearts shaken.

The laughter became louder and it echoed the entire courtyard.

Everyone was startled hearing Jack's laughter.

How could he still laugh when death was approaching?

Patrick turned around silently with his gloomy expression.

His heart ached when he saw Jack laughing.

Jack was still laughing coldly, with his eyes filled with strong determination.

The next second,

"Those who hurt my wife and my man, I dare to die with you all since I'm here."

Jack screamed, "The Hughes Family sees me as a jerk, ever since I got my status, I can never resist any of your elites killing me, that's a sin of death."

"I can bear it if you want to get me killed, but you should never harm my wife and my men, they are people I want to protect. If you hurt them, you should be ready to get a taste of your own blood."

His words were firm and sonorous.

Everyone could sense Jack's anger when he spoke of those.

This lunatic...was really ready to die together.

Patrick's heart was bleeding; tears were rolling in his reddish eyes.

He felt confused and clenched his teeth while looking at Jack.

Just then,

A cold voice came from outside.

"Since you knew it's a deadly sin, then you should be killed!"0000
