Winner Takes All

The Mysterious Man was gone.

He didn’t really leave, but he was hidden in a dark corner.

He said that he shouldn’t be too exposed to the light.

Jack was still sitting on the bench in the corridor, holding a half box of cigarettes that the Mysterious Man had handed him.

For some reasons, he had been smoking more and more those days.

At the beginning of the relationship with Amber, because she hated the smell of smoke, he once gave up smoking, but now, the distress and resentment in his heart maybe could only be exposed through the smoke.

He looked lonely, furrowing his brows.

Jack reignited a cigarette and was thinking about the matter seriously.

Of course, he understood what the Mysterious Man meant.

Now, for everyone, he was nothing but the illegitimate son of the Hughes Family’s old Master, just a bastard.

Even he had great achievements and his clan was not weaker than a wealthy Family, and anyway it was still difficult to get rid of the word “bastard”.

Dealing with the Kool Family, dealing with those secret forces, after all, was almost impossible.

He was waiting for the day of his father’s birthday when he would defeat all the successors and become, under the watchful eyes of many people, the next family head of the Hughes Family.

At that moment, he would mobilize all the forces of the Hughes Family!

Then he could be ruthless.

The Kool Family, the Bloody Angel and the other forces were much easier to deal with.

“Maybe…my Father also thinks so, right?”

Jack whispered softly, rubbing his face with both hands.

He turned to look at the ward where Amber was.

An extremely strong sense of guilt was like a sharp knife that had been heated up cutting all over his body.

If it was like the Mysterious Man said, how should he face Amber? How could he face his in-laws? And how to deal with the loss of a child?

A jumble of thoughts filled Jack’s mind like a long and dense thread.

His eyes were sometimes gloomy, sometimes violent and sometimes hollow and empty.

The momentum of the whole body changed from time to time.
