Winner Takes All

Bewitched ?!

Mr. Ward and Daisy were shocked, and they looked at the mysterious man at the same time in surprise.

One of them had seen everything, and the other one was the famous top killer of a hidden organization.

But even with their strengths combined together, they would not be able to defeat the mysterious man as well.

To measure a person's fighting strength required a comprehensive consideration, not just from a single aspect of physique and fighting skills.

From this respect, the mysterious man had become someone respectful in both of their hearts.

Obviously, being bewitched mentioned by the mysterious man was way above the change of mind.

This was the realm that neither Mr. Ward nor Daisy was familiar with.

The mysterious man twisted the cigarette butt, seeing that there was not much left, he flicked it and lit another cigarette.

At this moment, he seemed really addicted in smoking.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

He lit the cigarette and took another sip.

Then the mysterious man said slowly, "The state of mind of a warrior determines the combat power that a warrior can erupt in training and actual combat. Focus, heart as still as water, being soulless; all these are a state of mind. Being soulless, at least from what I can see from my current level, is already the highest state of mind."

After a pause, he said, "You do not make friends or enemies in a battle if you're soulless, you will attack at all time and get the final victory."

Listening to what he said,

Mr. Ward and Daisy stared at each other, and they saw doubts in each other's eyes.

To these words expressed by the mysterious man, they seemed confused.

The mysterious man chuckled lightly and waved his hand, "I have not reached the state of being soulless yet, it is normal for you to not understand what I am telling you. But being bewitched ... As the smoke came out of his mouth, the mysterious man's aura changed significantly.

A sense of depression could be felt from him.

The air in the stairwell seemed to become extremely vicious.

"Being bewitched equals to burying an evil seed in your heart, no matter in any state of mind, it may trigger the evil seed to grow wild and enter the state to be spellbound, even the highest soulless state of mind, once the evil seed got triggered, it would be developed into the state of madness as well."

The words were sharp, as if they could pierce one's heart.

Mr. Ward and Daisy trembled, and their hearts twitched while listening to what the mysterious man said.

Their expressions were heavy and they were terrified.

Mr. Ward's lips quivered and said in fear, "It means that master would go into a state of madness at anytime and his actions would not be controlled by consciousness?"

"It can be understood like this."

The mysterious man's voice was low, and what he said made Mr. Ward and Daisy go breathless, "There were records of demons in both Buddhism and Taoist schools. Demons were born for killing, killing heaven and earth, humans and all living things. Even parents, wives, children and friends could all be killed."

Silence.

A dead silence.

Mr. Ward and Daisy were stunned on the spot.

With their mouths slightly opened, their chests were moving intensively, and they were both breathing hard, but they still felt suffocated as if there was no air in their lungs.

They could feel the chill and numbness in their body.

The mysterious man meant the bewitchedness inside Jack would very likely turned him into a killing machine.

The irrational kind!

At this moment, the two of them could not bother more about Amber, who was still in the operating room any longer.

Because they both realized Jack's current situation was way worse than Amber.

Although it was fine for the time being, this was the seed of a potential horror.

Amber was still being rescued by Director Lansing whole-heartedly.

But as for Jack, there would be no way to save him from his bewitchedness.

Killing people and all creatures, even parents, wives, children and friends could be killed; this was the terrifying fact for Mr. Ward and Daisy.

"Being bewitched is like putting a switch in Jack's heart, it can be triggered by external stimuli or Jack's unstable mood."

The mysterious man's voice gradually became hoarse, as if he was squeezing his throat with all his strengths, "Now it's just the beginning stage of the bewitchedness, but if he does not control it well and keeps going insane, he would eventually become the actual bewitchedness.

"There is no way to get rid of being bewitched ?" Mr. Ward clenched his fists, the corners of his eyes were jumping and his blue veins became prominent.

He was the slave of Patrick, and he was the key to assisting Jack.

Along the way, Mr. Ward had witnessed how much Jack had grown, despite knowing many things and people well, he would not hesitate to label Jack as number one in the world.

Although he was a servant for Jack, they were already as close as relatives.

Such terrible news made the old man feel terrible.

"No."

The mysterious man shook his head firmly, "From what I know of being bewitched, there is no way to get rid of it, or it could be me who is ignorant. There might be ways that I have not heard of." This sentence was obviously just a comfort.

Mr. Ward's eyes turned red and teary, and his body was trembling. He squatted on the ground with his hands on his head and started sobbing softly.

Daisy also leaned against the wall in despair, she tried hard to stand still to avoid squatting on the floor with her weak body.

"In fact, once he goes out of mind, it is still uncertain that he could come back to normal every time. All I could say is there are ways to make him conscious when he goes insane. But the chances will become lower if he goes out of mind too often."

The mysterious man did not hide anything, and the comfort he could give was just that sentence.

This matter was not trivial, and the slightest concealment or soft-hearted comfort might lead to huge crisis in the future.

An ordinary human with the bewitchedness was not scary, in actual, it is not possible for an ordinary person to be bewitched. They could only have nerve problem and became psychopath.

Only for martial artist, who had to get their state of mind trained, would get the bewitchedness with very low probability.

Unluckily, Jack had such misfortune because of his wife and child.

With Jack's growing speed, physique, fighting skills and so on...he was considered as a talent among martial artists. Such talent with the bewitchedness would be extremely dangerous.

Not to mention, he was the heir of the Hughes Family, if he would be in charge of the Hughes Family in the future, with the bewitchedness ...

The mysterious man had a chilly back himself thinking of this.

That was why he had to be firm and tell everything now.

"It's my responsibility, it's my fault, and I have no face to meet Mrs. Hughes after death..."

Mr. Ward's hailing sound echoed in the stairwell.

He felt a great sense of guilt and self-blame.

The mysterious man raised his hand and flicked the cigarette butt, "About being bewitched and having disabled legs, all of these have to be hidden. Not even to Patrick, don't tell him about Jack's being bewitched.

"What?"

Mr. Ward's red and teary eyes were full of puzzlement.

"The fewer people know about it, the better it is." The mysterious man said in a deep voice. "Having disabled legs still stands a chance to win over the seat of master of the Hughes Family, but they would never allow someone with the bewitchedness. Are you firm that no one in the Hughes Family know about this?"

Mr. Ward was stunned, he was not sure.

Daisy on the side said heavily, "No one would know if we do not mention about it, be it being bewitched or having disabled legs, all these would not be exposed tonight. Mr. Ward and I have already gotten rid of the killers from TM Villa; master had also killed those killers who besieged him. We have settled those spies surrounding the hospital as well. We will only need Mr. Ward to clear off Jack's trace along the way tonight; that would be enough to cover up."

"I'm going to do it now." Mr. Ward knew how serious the matter was, he stood up and leave after holding his grief.

However,

The mysterious man said in a sudden,

"One ran away!"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
