The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine)

Chapter 835 A Growing Intention To Kill

For a moment, the initially intense and solemn atmosphere seemed to have eased a little.

It was the God of War, Zenith Harol and 300,000 Dragon Cavalry.

This was a force that even the Hughes family couldn’t dismiss. They were also a force that was

completely different from Bloody Angel and Iga.

The only reason the Northern Territory was peaceful was because of Zenith’s appearance out of the

blue. He led his 300,000 Dragon Cavalry who then physically surrounded the border of the Northern

Territory, forming an iron-human wall and overwhelming the foreign forces.

And Jack was the Chief Guard of Twelve Golden Guard of Dragon Cavalry!

He was superior to hundreds and thousands of others while only being submissive to one.

Any person who managed to get into Dragon Cavalry will get utmost protection from 300,000 of them.

Who would dare to enter the Dragon Cavalry to assassinate Jack with such a solid defence and

suppression from Zenith?

It was definitely safer there than Jack going back to the Hughes Residence or the Grand Freemasons.

Mr. Ward, who had extensive experience in such matters, also agreed that this was the best way to

protect Jack right now!

However, the mysterious man had popped their happy bubble.

Mr. Ward and Brent’s excitement went down the drain just like that.

“If he goes to the Dragon Cavalry, how are we going to deal with the businesses here?”

As soon as the words came out, Jack froze a little and soon revealed a bitter smile on his face.

“To be honest, this is something I’ve been worrying about too.”

Mr. Ward and Brent looked at Jack seriously.

The mysterious man hit the key point there.

It was true that Jack could get maximum protection if he entered the Dragon Cavalry. It could even end

this Bloody Trap temporarily.

They just needed to delay this until Patrick’s birthday celebration, and if Jack could take over as the

head of the family on that day, this Bloody Trap would be over.

Even if it did not end, they wouldn’t be as miserable as they were now.

But, what should they do about their business?

Be it DT Real Estate Agency, the Quinn family’s properties, or the entertainment company under

Clara’s control in the capital city, everything needed to continue operating. And it must expand at a

crazily fast speed!

It was also the final criteria to decide if Jack would be the winner!

If Jack left, it would mean that all these businesses would lose their leader and be all over the place.

After entering Dragon Cavalry, Jack would be completely isolated from the assassins from all forces,

but it would also weaken his control towards all these businesses at the same time.

Even if they still had three months till Patrick’s birthday banquet, but no one could be certain now that

Jack could take over the throne with his current accomplishments successfully.

Although there weren’t many successors in the family, but the potential ones were not ordinary people.

There were many of them that Jack had never met before, but among those he did, Killian was the

biggest threat to him.

He was an ace who had the support of Mrs. Hughes.

Even if Killian were to grow a pair of wings and flew into the sky on the last day, the rest would find it

absolutely normal as he had Mrs. Hughes help. What more to say they still had three months?

Based on the experience Mr. Ward and Brent had, they quickly thought of a series of things that might

be involved after listening to the mysterious man’s concern.

This method was indeed…a double-edged sword!

For a moment, the air around them seemed to have frozen.

Mr. Ward and Brent were both deep in thoughts.

As for the mysterious man, he was expressionless, so no one knew what was going on in his head.

Jack glanced at the three of them, shrugging as he said, “This is just one of the methods I thought of,

but we can choose not to go with it for now. If it isn’t too dangerous, I can still stay here, but when time

really calls for it, I’d have to leave for Dragon Cavalry for a moment and experience the life of an army.”

“It’s best if I don’t go, of course.”

Mr. Ward nodded, “But when we really run out of choice, that’s the only thing we can do for your safety,

young master. Lyndall and I will try our best to manage everything here.”

“Yeah.“

Jack nodded and looked at the Tao Te Ching on the table, saying, “I’m going back to my room to read.”

Then, he wheeled his wheelchair towards the direction of his bedroom.

The mysterious man just kept staring at Jack, and soon got up and followed him into his room under

the stunned gazes of Mr. Ward and Brent.

Click!

“What’s wrong?”

Jack asked in confusion when the mysterious man closed the door behind him.

“I just want to confirm with you how much do you want to enter Dragon Cavalry.”

He then sat casually by the study table and swept his gaze across the sutras that was neatly arranged

on the table. He picked one up and flipped through it, before he frowned and looked at his finger,

saying jokingly, “I bet you have never touched it before, haven’t you? It’s accumulating dust already.”

“When Mr. Ward brought it over, there was already dust on it. It’s been with me for only a few days, so

how could it be dusty because of me?”

Jack wheeled his wheelchair towards a spot not far away from the mysterious man as he flipped

through the Tao Te Ching while he spoke, “That’s the last resort. If I have a choice, I don’t really want to

abandon everything here.”

His response made the mysterious man frown, “Is being the head of the Hughes family so important to

you?”

“No!”

Jack smiled and shook his head, but soon after, he nodded again, “But it’s kinda important too.”

Slowly, he closed the Tao Te Ching in his hand and smiled, “It’s important because I want to take back

everything that belongs to me. I want to take back the glory that belonged to my mother and give it to

her. She was the wife of the head of Hughes family, but had never been acknowledged till the day of

her death. Everyone in the Hughes family calls me an illegitimate child, so I’m going to brush it in their

faces by putting the pot of my mom’s ashes in the prayer hall.”

“I’ll have the future generations of the Hughes family pray towards my mother. I’ll make them know that

she was one the lady of the Hughes family!”

“My wife and child too. They have a share to my crown and throne!”

His sonorous words were like an oath.

Even someone like the mysterious man frowned subconsciously at this sight of Jack. His determination

was no joke.

The room went into silence for a moment.

The mysterious suddenly smiled, “I guess I’ll have no choice but to do my best. Also, the sutras is

useful to you. Do read it when you have time.”

As he said that, he strode out of the room.

A smile appeared on Jack’s lips the moment the door closed.

Then, he looked at the sutras that the mysterious man had just flipped open. He lifted his hand, closed

it up and threw it into the pile of sutras casually.

Just as he was about to continue reading Tao Te Ching, a feeling of discomfort washed over him

suddenly.

As soon as he felt that, Jack’s eyes immediately widened. He was getting goosebumps all over his

body too.

Was this…a killing intent from someone else? This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Suddenly, Jack raised his head and looked at the window, which was covered entirely by the curtains

coldly.
