Female Novel
Chapter 323 Lure Him Out
“It’s not Mengpo!” Lone wolf said solemnly.
Jack and Mr. Ward were startled but they didn’t remain and got up to leave the bedroom. Jack’s room
was facing the cliff. If the assassin was at the cliff ledge, it would be a perfect position to take a shot at
Jack.
After they arrived at the living room, Lone Wolf turned and left with the guards towards the cliff.
Jack and Mr. Ward looked at each other.
Jack frowned and said, “Mr. Ward, can a regular assassin think of going to the cliff ledge?”
“In the eighteen attempts this week, none happened from the cliff.” Mr. Ward shook his head and said,
“Even if a regular killer thought of doing that, they may not have the guts and skills to descent to the
cliff ledge.”
Jack remained silent.
Indeed, the cliff ledge was facing his bedroom and was the prime spot to kill him. However, the ledge
was tens of meters from the top as well as from the bottom.
It was a very dangerous position.
Only the elite assassins would think of all the contingencies and escape routes before selecting that
location. For an assassin, his escape route was the top priority, and killing the target was the second
priority. It was obvious that there were no good escape paths from the cliff ledge.
“Could it be the death squad assassins had participated again?” Jack frowned tightly.novelbin
“Perhaps not.” Mr. Ward shook his head, “Each day I would follow the hit orders made by Dark Net
Assassin Squad. There is no one except Mengpo, unless…”
Mr. Ward suddenly paused at this point.
It wasn’t until Jack looked at him did he say slowly, “Unless someone in between relayed the order to
the Top 100 killers. The Dark Net Assassin Squad has its means to identify the killers and monitor
them. That’s why when any killer accepts the order, their ID would be displayed, unless there is a
middle man.”
Just as they were discussing, some gunshots and shouts came from the direction of the cliff ledge.
Jack and Mr. Ward looked simultaneously in the direction of the sounds. Lone Wolf and the protection
guards were already in a confrontation with the killer.
“Then I’m curious if this killer was one of the Top 100 killers.” Jack rubbed his nose and laughed.
Within a week, assassination attempts were thwarted one by one under the tight security of the
protection guards. The success of the guards started to give Jack the confidence compared to the
uncertainty that he felt initially.
Bang bang bang…
The gunshots continued and the fighting was intense and there were yells of agony.
“Are there casualties?” Jack frowned and his expression darkened, “Eighteen assassinations in a week
and finally someone is injured.”
In this one week, the protection guards had responded to eighteen attacks, and each time they
displayed their terrifying combat abilities without any casualties. It was with this that Jack realized how
capable his father’s protection team was. The battle at TM Hills was obviously an exception.
“Master, let’s retreat to safety. Somehow I have the feeling that it’s different this time.” Mr. Ward said
when he heard the intense gun battle outside.
Jack nodded and just as both of them stood up.
Whoosh! A loud whistle sounded.
“Careful, Mr. Ward!” Jack’s expression changed drastically as he lunged to grab Mr. Ward.
He saw an arrow whizzing by.
Twang! The arrow struck the wall and its bolt vibrated on impact.
They’re coming! Mengpo!
Jack’s pupil constricted and a chill ran down his spine.
“Master…” Mr. Ward was terrified and confused. Had Jack not grabbed him, the arrow would have
penetrated his body!
“She’s here!” Jack said solemnly and released Mr. Ward, “Mr. Ward, go to your room and lock the door.
She’s here for me and will not harm you.”
The notes that she shot over to him the other night enabled him to understand Mengpo’s personality.
This woman had a strong pride! As long as Mr. Ward remained in his room, Mengpo would not do
anything to him.
“Master, I…” Mr. Ward looked serious and wanted to retort.
“I’m your Master. Go to your room!” Jack yelled angrily and Mr. Ward swallowed his words.
Jack looked at Mr. Ward as he went to his room and then he narrowed his eyes as he looked towards
the courtyard. The arrow was shot from the main entrance and so she should be in that direction.
Was this… trying to lure him out?
But the lights were dim in the courtyard and the visibility was not good. Hence, the security system that
Lone Wolf and the protection team set up was not triggered.
The intense gun battle continued.
But inside the hall, one could hear a pin drop. Suddenly a wave of terror gripped Jack. Some sweat
beaded up and flowed from the corner of his eyes. Then the deathly quiet hall crackled with electronic
static. Jack’s attention immediately turned to look at the two-way radio which was on the table.
At the same time, Lone Wolf’s voice came over the two-way radio, “Mr. Hughes, retreat immediately,
they are very strong!”
Kaboom!
Jack shuddered. Very strong? How strong were they? His confidence in Lone Wolf and the others a
moment ago was now shattered with his shouts. There was only one opponent and Lone Wolf’s shouts
could only mean that the situation at the cliff ledge was out of control.
Hurried footsteps could be heard from the courtyard. Jack began to see several protection guards in
suits running in.
“Master, retreat immediately!”
More than ten protection guards rushed into the room and escorted Jack outwards. Jack hesitated as
he looked out to the courtyard. The protection team did not know but he did. The attack not only had
the person at the cliff ledge but also Mengpo laying ready to strike.
If they were to dash out now, wouldn’t that present him as a target for Mengpo?
The protection guards yelled into the two-way radio, “Retreat! Retreat immediately! The killer had
already fought towards the Bamboo grove!” Although the tone was angry, they could hear the urgency
and horror in the words.
There was no time to waste!
Jack ground his teeth, remembered Mr. Ward, and immediately ordered, “Have half of the men protect
Mr. Ward!”
“Master…”
“Do as I said, have you forgotten the battle at TM Hills?” Jack was adamant. He would not abandon
anyone, neither would he let those people around him be in danger because of him.
It was Brent at the TM Hills and now it was Mr. Ward.
The team knew about Jack’s determination from the TM Hills battle. Without doubting his words, eight
men rushed into Mr. Ward’s room. Jack and the remaining eight guards rushed out of the hall and into
the courtyard.
The situation was dangerous and death was everywhere. The two-way radio continued to report on the
advance of the killer. Everyone was worried and terrified.
But as Jack and the guards rushed into the courtyard, Jack continued to search around for any signs of
Mengpo. Suddenly, he saw a flash from the corner of his eyes and was horrified.
