Chapter 319 Fighting in Opposite

In the Four Impressions Club.

After Mr. Ward sorted everything out, the security of the club was stocked up.

All the possible measurements for security were taken.

Cars were on their rounds outside, securing the area.

The waiters in the club were also less than usually, only enough to ensure Jack's needs were kept.

The Bamboo Grove was in the focus of all the security measures.

After Lone Wolf arrived, he brought some of the guards and cleared the whole place, then they

installed a bunch of security devices.

The security work outside the grove was in the hands of the Four Impression Club's guards.

But Mr. Ward had required that the Bamboo Grove would be taken over by their own people.

It was like an onion of measures.

Jack's emotions finally calmed down a bit.

He was lying on the bed and felt the sleepiness come over him.

Up until now he hadn't seem Minister Mable once, but Jack didn't care about that, this was a very

sensible matter, it was best for Minister Mable not to be there even he was powerful.

The incidence of last night in front of TM Villa District was such a big drama, so that Minister Mable had

to come over and take care of it.

It didn't take long before Jack fell asleep.

It was a very deep sleep.

When he opened his eyes again, the sky was already dark.

Jack washed up and went out of the bedroom, he saw Mr. Ward sitting quietly in the room, enjoying

some tea.

When he saw Jack, he got up quickly, "Young Master, you are still injured, you should be in bed rest."

Jack looked at the wound on his left arm, and smiled helplessly, "It's not a big deal."

Mr. Ward didn't fight him on that, he just helped Jack to sit down, and then said slowly, "We have

arranged out people to stand guard around the Bamboo Grove, but Lone Wolf's specialty is not this, so

I told them to simply lead the guards, anything that is related to security, the guards will handle on their

own."

"I have arranged most of the things in TM, it's good that it's further out in the city, so it helps us to hold

back the gossip."

"I have also arranged for four guards to take care of Brent."

Mr. Ward was reporting to Jack.

Jack didn't object. Mr. Ward's arrangements were good.

Mr. Ward had been working with his father for many years, he had been the trusted servant of his, his

abilities had been tested enough.

Jack rubbed his nose, then looked at Mr. Ward with deep eyes.

"Is my father investigating Madam Hughes?"novelbin

"After reporting to the head of the family, he immediately started investigating."

Mr. Ward nodded, "But it will take some more time, he is busy trying to solve the murder mission of the

Assassin Squad while he is investigating Madame Hughes, he won't be able to do both at the same

time."

"Yeah, I got that, right in this moment, he might even be the only one who can do that."

Jack looked helpless, no matter if it was the Assassin Squad, or investigating Madame Hughes, it was

impossible to give either one to someone else to do.

Only his father, as the head of the Hughes family, could do both of them.

After a while, Mr. Ward suddenly said, "Young Master, Yael said he would like to come, and the Zhuge

family in X City also said they want to protect you, it was Yael who started it, and he asked me for your

thoughts."

"Tell him not to come."

Jack shook his head, "The assassins are all in the dark, if their intentions won't be exposed, nobody will

ever find them, if there are too many people around me, it will only get messier."

Then, he rolled his eyes, and suddenly laughed, "But, since Yael and the Zhuge family want to help,

they can."

Help?!

Mr. Ward felt surprised.

When he got the message from Yael, he thought the same as Jack.

But thinking about the relationship between Jack and Yael, he thought he should ask.

How could they help in this kind of a situation?

Even Old Master Hughes had a headache because of the murder mission of the Assassin Squad.

Even though the Zhuge family recklessly expanded their territory and was now the richest family in X

City after the Quinn's went bankrupt, it didn't mean that they were on the level of helping Jack!

Jack laughed, "Tell the Zhuge family to send someone here, they should cooperate with Aiden and

Drago to scan the whole town, I want to know every single person that had been coming here."

"Okay..."

Mr. Ward was suddenly surprised, he couldn't help but to inhale coldly, "Young Master, that is almost

impossible."

"Half a loaf is better than no bread." Jack raised his hands and kept saying, "Also, tell Yael to scan

through the internet together with the Vaughn and the Wattson family, if there is anything to be found

about the assassination, get to the ground of it immediately."

Mr. Ward's eyes were filled with shock.

He stared at Jack in disbelief, his lips said, "Young Master, do you want to hit back?"

When he said that, even Mr. Ward himself found it incredible.

Never had someone ever thought of such a way after the Assassin Squad had made their plans public.

Everyone knew the powers of Dark Net Assassin Squad, and as soon as someone was faced with their

assassination mission, they usually only cared about how to survive, how to cancel the mission, they

usually reacted very passively.

But Jack's two plans made Mr. Ward taste a slice of craziness.

He was clearly trying to turn the table around, he was going to turn the guest into the host!

Jack laughed and gestured his hand, without answering Mr. Ward's question, "Go ahead and arrange

it, I don't want to put my own life into anyone else's hands, ever since I was a kid I had fought for

myself!"

"Even if there won't be any results, I still hold on to the saying, better half a loaf then no bread at all,

this is about my life, I can't allow my father to take all the pressure and to fight all alone, can I?"

"Yes, I will get it done right now." Mr. Ward got up and left.

The light in the room was dim, and sanders burning.

Jack's eyes were deep, he mumbled as he was thinking, "If the assassination was really an extension

from the dark net into the real world, then there should be traces in the internet, I want to see who is

the one behind all this?"

After he washed his face, Jack felt much better than before.

He slept the whole day deeply after the high pressure, which helped him to recover, and he calmed

down again, so he could get his thoughts in order.

If he could stay right there, he could save his life.

But what then?

Instead of just sitting and waiting for death and handing everything to his father to solve, why not do

something about it.

To investigate every person that had been in the city was truly something impossible, but better half a

loaf than nothing, there should be some trace to be found.

Jack didn't count on the results being much useful.

What he really cared about was if they could find a trace on the internet, if they could find the existence

of the person leading the assassination.

Containing the contagion of the situation was more important than to annul the mission.

Jack took out his wallet as the thought.

In his wallet was a picture of his and Amber's wedding.

He slowly stroke the picture, and Jack smiled gently, his eyes were determined, "Little dummy, I will be

alright."

His stomach made a noise, he was hungry.

Jack patted his stomach and went into the yard.

He called for Lone Wolf telling him to prepare dinner.

But just as dinner was served on the table, Mr. Ward ran towards him, fearful.

"Young Master, something happened! The mission that the Dark Net Assassin Squad published, there

is an update to it!"
