Winner Takes All

The uncomfortable penetrating chilliness.

As Jack spoke, the corner of his mouth slowly turned upwards, showing a scary sneer.

His eyes were burning, like a sword piercing people's hearts.

Steve and Mr. Ward were stunned; their body broke out with gooseflesh.

Steve asked Mr. Ward, "What does Amber's father-in-law mean? Amber is her daughter-in-law, and the child is his blood grandchild!"

Compared with Jack, Steve who was older seemed calmer.

He did not believe the master of the grand Hughes Family could sit still and be calm when his bloodline was in danger.

He must have some inside story to have such "cringing" request.

Otherwise, for someone as protective as Patrick of Jack, could still be calm at this moment seemed quite unbelievable.

Mr. Ward's gaze was deep, and he said in a low voice, "Old master did not say much, he only mentioned that Kool Family's involvement is too deep and complicated."

"With this sentence, you want to put me on hold?"

Without waiting for Steve to respond, Jack sneered, "He is aware of Kool Family background, but he had never mentioned anything about it. My wife is still in danger now and my child has died, he is a father, and also a grandfather, how could he say such thing asking me to be on hold, don't you think that is ridiculous?"

Even Steve's expression had changed and looked extremely dim.

He could calmly guess that Patrick must have other inside story.

But such response from him was perfunctory!

As a father, his daughter had encountered such catastrophe, how could he just put revenge on hold after hearing such response?

Puff!

Mr. Ward knelt down in front of Jack and Steve then begged, "Master, Master Steve, please calm down and postpone your revenge!" "Old master knows a lot about Kool Family, he must be considering things from bigger picture, there must be reasons that he can't tell!" The sudden scene changed Steve's expression drastically.

As for Jack, he seemed cold as if his face was covered with thick layer of frost.

"Mr. Ward, are you going to stop me?"

The gloomy chill from Jack's body could be felt by Mr. Ward, he was by frost and snow and his whole body felt cold.

But his flushing eyes were extremely firm.

Mr. Ward said in deep voice, "I could use my life in exchange for you to postpone your revenge, this is an order from the old master!"

"Damn!"

Jack squeezed a word out from his grinding teeth.

Steve on the side furrowed his brows deeply, his gaze was tense and he was drowned in his own thought.

"Master..."

Mr. Ward continued begging.

But before he could say anything else, Jack waved his hand flagrantly, "Mr. Ward, this is a revenge I'm going to take for my wife and child, let alone you, even if Patrick comes here himself, it is impossible to stop me."

He did not call him father, but by his name Patrick directly.

At this moment, Jack was extremely furious.

His eyes were as red as blood, staring at Mr. Ward.

Upon hearing the words,

Mr. Ward's expression became gloomy, his lips shivered.

Facing Jack at that exact moment, he felt a sense of hesitation as he did not know how to dissuade him.

On one side it was Jack who was already obsessed with revenge, and on another side it was Patrick's order, what could he possibly do?

At that exact moment,

"Jack, Mr. Ward is using his life to stop it."

Steve suddenly spoke, his wrinkled eyes were stretched.

Jack frowned, and asked Steve in surprise, "Father, even you think it should be put on hold?"

He did not know why Patrick asked Mr. Ward to stop him from taking revenge immediately using his life just because his enemy was Kool Family.

But Steve's response now left him confused and puzzled.

He was Amber's biological father!

"Your father has his own reason."

Steve said solemnly, "Mr. Ward has already used his life to stop it, do you want him dead in front of us? It is alright to put revenge on hold, but we must investigate thoroughly."

His words turned sharp towards the end, showing determination and seriousness.

Jack's eyes flickered.

Watching Steve going absent minded.

In a daze, he suddenly felt that his chest was clogged, as if it was filled with stones.

He had been working hard in order to protect the people around him, to be able to give them the best.

But as he grew up, he became stronger, not only did he fail to protect the people around him, but they were always being put in danger because of him.

Now, his wife was seriously injured and his child gone, both of his wife and child were his weakness and they were harmed, but he had to put revenge on hold.

So...why did I keep trying to be stronger?

Jack's eyes suddenly became blank.

He was indeed getting stronger, but the reality had contradicted the reason why he became stronger at the first place.

"Master..."

Mr. Ward with red eyes, cried and leaded.

"Haha..."

Jack laughed in a sudden, his laughter filled with bitterness and helplessness.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a great pain like being cut by thousands of swords.

"I became stronger to protect my parents, wife, child and friends. Now that I'm strong, I can't even protect them, but I have to act like a coward. To put things on hold for a moment? How funny that is." Jack waved his hand, looking ill-lit, "Let's forget about it, I'll put things on hold and I'll not expect him to help me check Kool Family anymore. Maybe eventually he would not even let me check about it at all." "But if we don't check through your father, how else can we check it?"

Steve could understand Jack's feelings, if he was not experienced than Jack, he would not be able to suppress as well.

But Jack's decision brought hesitation to Steve.

He had already used all his power but had found nothing about Kool Family.

If they did not rely on the Hughes Family...

"Dragon Cavalry, Grand Freemasons!"

Jack spit out the two names, with his eyes lightened. These were the two most reliable sources he had now other than the Hughes Family.

He did not know why Zenith and Carlos kept trying to pull him in, and offered to give him high position without hesitation.

But judging from what happened when he killed George, if he really wanted revenge, Dragon Cavalry and Grand Freemasons would help him for sure.

At noon that day.

Following Jack's two phone calls.

Northern Territory.

Snowy and cold weather.

The wind combined with ice and snow was like a sharp knife, not only did the cut hurt human's faces; the space also became mottled and blurred.

Far away.

The rolled up torrent of snow burst was overwhelming like a wave, rolling towards this side.

Accompanied by the sound of intensive horseshoes.

A troop of cavalry rushed through the wind and snow.

Whoa...

Zenith took the lead, he pulled the reins and the horse headed up.

The overbearing attitude seemed to calm the wind and snow around him.

"Kool Family, the Kool Family... do they want to repeat it again?"

Zenith's eyes were sharp, and his brows seemed heavy.

The Golden Guards behind him stepped forward, "Commander, the Kool Family..."

The Golden Guards were the existence of above ten thousand people, Zenith knew every single one of them clearly, and he obviously knew about Kool Family.

However,

Zenith's eyes turned cold, he squinted at the Golden Guards and said in low voice, "What Kool Family? I don't know."

One look, one sentence.

The curiosity of the Golden Guards was suppressed at an instant.

All the Golden Guards bowed their heads in fear, dared not to stare at Zenith.

And on the other side of the ocean.

Grand Freemasons headquarters, in the ancestral home.

There was also a violent argument ongoing at this time, and there was even sound of smashing things in the room.

"Rena, how dare you, do you really think grandpa will not punish you?" Carlos roared angrily.

Following that, Rena was heard with a crying voice.

"Grandpa, it's the Kool Family who caused Amber's miscarriage and the child died. They committed such brutal crime, you knew it, but why don't you tell Jack about Kool Family?"00000000☐☐☐☐☐
