Female Novel
Chapter 318 Investigate Her!
Kaboom!
It was as if Jack was struck by a bolt of lightning. His heart sank to the abyss when he saw the tearful
expression of the guard.
He felt the world spin and as if his soul had left him. His eyes immediately welled up with tears. Mr.
Ward trembled and his lips quivered as both his hands grabbed his knees tightly.
“Is there no hope?” Jack said sadly as the tears fell from the corner of his eyes.
His mind was flooded by Brent’s images. Since he was young, he was on his own. He had to be
independent and could not depend on anyone. He only had the love of his mother.
But Jack met Brent when he emerged from the darkness. Although Brent was sent by his father to
protect him, his relationship with Brent extended beyond an instructor and a friend. It was a feeling
which Jack never felt before. It was exactly due to his previous experience that he cherished even
more what he had with Brent.
But now…
At this moment, another guard showed up in the room. It was the middle-aged guard that spoke to Jack
just now.
Bang!
When the middle-aged man saw Jack and Mr. Ward’s expression, he was horrified and then kicked the
earlier guard in the backside and yelled, “Fool! What the hell did you say to Master and Mr. Ward?”
After that, the middle-aged man reported, “Master and Mr. Ward, Chief is out of danger and has
stabilized.”
What?!
Jack and Mr. Ward were both shocked and in total disbelief. They Immediately looked towards the first
guard.
The guard who was kicked scratched his head and said, “I, I just reported on the lights and thought that
Master and Mr. Ward were anxious to know as soon as there were any changes.”
“Who the fuck needed you to think?” The middle-aged man glared at the guard and smiled bitterly,
“This chap is easily excited. When he saw that the lights were turned off, he ran over immediately as
his eyes turned red. However, I waited for Brent to be pushed out and asked the doctor about Brent’s
condition before coming over to report. I’m sorry to have Master and Mr. Ward unduly worried.”
Jack was speechless.
He wiped his face to clear the tears from his eyes. The tears were mistakenly shed.
Mr. Ward took a deep breath and suddenly became serious and said sternly, “Kick him two more times
for me!”
The middle-aged man pulled the guard by his ears and then kicked and dragged him out of the room.
Jack and Mr. Ward looked at each other and suddenly broke out in laughter.
“I was terrified.” Jack heaved a sigh of relief.
“So was I.” Mr. Ward laughed.
Jack waved his hand and said, “Mr. Ward, go and have a look at Brent. I’m fine here.”
“Okay.” Mr. Ward stood up and frowned, “Oh yes, Master, where’s Lone Wolf?”
“I asked him to make the necessary arrangements at DT before coming over.” Jack waved his hand as
he thought about the battle at TM Hills and said fearfully, “It was fortunate that he didn’t come earlier.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t know who should I save.”
“It was fortunate.” Mr. Ward said profoundly and left to check on Brent.
Jack was clear that Lone Wolf was a good fighter. But when compared to Brent and the protective
guards, his combat skills were far from theirs. Furthermore, last night’s battle was not about fighting
skills. It was a shooting battle and Deadpool Mercenaries used heavy weapons against them.
Jack wiped his nose before he slowly laid down on the bed. He still couldn’t fall asleep. This battle had
caused him to have a deep sense of terror. The assassination turned out to be a siege with intense
attack and suppression.
Would there be another attack by a different team of mercenaries? What worried him even more was
Deadpool Mercenary was not wiped out. About ten of them managed to escape. With the prize money
and now the severe loss of lives, it was almost certain that the escaped Deadpool Mercenaries would
make another attempt.
It was unlikely that these bloodthirsty killers would abandon their objective after last night’s battle. But
when and where would they strike again?
Jack’s gaze deepened and he sighed again, “It’s getting increasingly complicated. First, it was an old
farmer and now it’s a team of mercenaries. This kill order by the assassin squad is extraordinary. The
only ones who are still able to laugh must the Burton family fools.”
He knew very little about the Dark Net Assassin Squad. But he reasoned that a secretive bloodthirsty
hit squad that lurked in the dark net could not be so brazen to launch such a large-scale attack.
This assassination attempt was clearly illogical.
It was highly probable that someone was orchestrating this. A simple assassination became a feeding
frenzy for the bloodthirsty killers.novelbin
His feelings stirred and turned into a web of emotions.
Slowly, as the pain of his injuries eased, as his exhaustion overcame him and as his concerns for Brent
eased, Jack slowly closed his eyes.
But he didn’t have a good rest. He kept dreaming of that day’s events at the villa.
Very soon, Jack was awakened by Mr. Ward who said, “Master, it’s time that we left. The hospital isn’t a
safe place.” Mr. Ward continued solemnly, “I’ve seen Brent and he is awake and well. But he wouldn’t
be able to move in the short term. Our departure from the hospital will enable Brent to recuperate.”
“Let’s go.” Jack nodded.
He was the target of the assassination attempts. If he remained at the hospital, he would only bring
danger to Brent and all the people in the hospital. It was best that he left the hospital.
Under Mr. Ward’s arrangements, several modified armored vehicles arrived at the entrance of the
hospital. They were Rolls Royce Cullinan.
Jack was escorted by several dozens of protection guards to the car. The cars started and moved.
“Are we going to the Four Impressions Club?” Jack asked as he didn’t let his guard down.
“Yes, now the Four Impressions Club may be the safest place in the city. It is also a place that
Deadpool Mercenary could be afraid of.” Mr. Ward nodded.
“Okay then. We must be really imposing on Minister Mable.” Jack laughed bitterly.
Mr. Ward shook his head, “I had already informed him. He doesn’t mind and he would keep these from
Amber and the others.”
“That’s great.” Jack heaved a sigh of relief and pondered as he looked out the window. Except as he
looked through the bulletproof glass, the scenery looked surreal.
After a while, Jack asked, “Mr. Ward, do you think that this assassination attempt was being
orchestrated by Madam Hughes?”
Mr. Ward frowned and his lips quivered before he nodded, “There is this possibility.”
“Can you ask my father to investigate her? If this continued, then the assassins would no longer be
limited to those assassins on the dark net.” Jack said.
The killers caused him to be in a constant state of anxiety. The endless stream of attacks was starting
to irritate him and make him feel disgusted and yet he was helpless to do anything.
