Female Novel
Chapter 360 Gifts?
When he left the Hughes residence, his father had already told him. But Jack never expected the
cancellation to happen so quickly!
Within a night, all the raging waves calmed down. In the past month, the hit ordered by the Assassin
Squad was like a sword next to his neck. He was so affected by it that he constantly worried if he would
make it to the next day.
Now the sky had finally cleared. Jack rejoiced and his eyes lit up. He took a deep breath of air which
was the first time in a month that he breathed so easily.
Then, he smiled with relief and asked, “How was the order rescinded?”
Just this? Mr. Ward, Brent, and Daisy were equally stunned that Master Hughes’ reaction was so
subdued. In the past month, everyone was living in constant fear and their nerves were at the breaking
point. Initially, all the three of them expected Jack to jump with joy when he heard of this news. But
now…
“What’s wrong?” Jack looked puzzled at the three of them.
“Master, aren’t you happy?” Mr. Ward asked.
“Of course I am.” Jack nodded.
“Then why are you…” Mr. Ward asked.
Jack shrugged his shoulders, “This news is nothing compared to last night when Amber told me that I
am going to have a baby.”
Mr. Ward, Brent, and Daisy were speechless.
But they could understand that when one issue was more important than the other, then it would easily
overshadow the other issue even if both brought good news. But Mr. Ward, Brent, and Daisy were very
excited even when Jack was calm about it.
Brent forcibly suppressed his excitement as he said, “Last night something huge happened in the dark
net. The number one killer on the Assassin Squad Azrael list appeared on the Assassin Squad
homepage. When “Azrael” logged in to his account, the dark net went berserk.”
“When everyone was still in shock, Azrael used his special authority to bypass the Assassin Squad to
make his demands as Azrael.”
On saying this, Brent even took out his cellphone, accessed the dark net, and handed the phone to
Jack.
“Master Hughes, have a look. The entire dark net is still talking about Azrael and here is the screen
capture of the Assassin Squad homepage.”
Jack took over the phone and started to click his tongue when he saw the screen capture of “Azrael”
making his demands on the Assassin Squad.
Even when he was prepared for this, he felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the picture.
A killer simply logged into the Assassin Squad account and caused the entire dark net to erupt. This
Azrael could bypass the Assassin Squad and make his demands on their site.
How… how horrifying was this? Jack looked at the blood-red page with that huge Reaper’s Scythe.
What was even more eye-catching was the words, “Any violators would be visited by Azrael!”
How brave must one be to be able to make such a statement that oppressed even the Assassin
Squad?
“Master Hughes, Azrael’s emergence caused a stir and within five minutes of posting his demands, the
Assassin squad rescinded the hit order on you.” Mr. Ward said slowly as he forcibly suppressed his joy.
Brent and Daisy also looked solemn. They were both killers on the Azrael list and understood how
deadly the number one killer “Azrael” was. A killer who was ranked number one for over twenty years
re-emerged just for Master Hughes.
When Jack returned the phone to Brent, his eyes glimmered. The cancellation of the kill order gave him
a huge boost which cannot be described. Then he suddenly remembered what his father said at the
Hughes Manor.
Were all these… done by Uncle Brown? Could it be that Uncle Brown … was the killer “Azrael”? When
Jack was pondering over these, Mr. Ward and the other two also became solemn. Especially for Brent
and Daisy who treated Jack with great admiration. They really couldn’t figure out Jack entirely. How
could Jack be in that pitiful state in the past when he had this kind of connection with “Azrael” of the
Assassination Squad.
“Stand down now. Since the kill order had been rescinded, then we must start working on a lot of other
things.” Jack came to his senses and instructed the three of them.
He did not reveal his guess that Uncle Brown was “Azrael”.
Uncle Brown had to sneak into the Hughes Manor and even helped his father to kill Ghost without
leaving a trace. From the way he concealed himself, it was obvious that he didn’t want people to know
about his identity.
Whether if it was Uncle Brown who helped him get the order canceled, there was no need for him to
find out the entire truth. Uncle Brown must have his reasons that he continued to conceal any trace of
himself from the moment he left the black hell.
After Mr. Ward and the other two left, Jack went back to his bedroom. He looked at Amber who was
fast asleep and couldn’t help but laugh. This woman really could sleep. Then he rubbed his nose and
guess that she was sleepy because she was pregnant.
He walked gently to the bedside and squatted next to her as he looked lovingly at her and said, “It must
be tough to be pregnant. Thanks, honey!”
As he muttered, he gently placed his face next to Amber’s abdomen and said tenderly, “My little
precious, you’re really daddy’s lucky star. You brought me double the happiness…”
“Hubby, what happened just now?” Amber was awakened and looked at Jack in a daze.
Jack laid on the bed and brought Amber into his embrace and kissed her forehead and said, “Honey,
we have nothing to worry about from today onwards. The Assassin Squad had rescinded the hit order
on me last night.”
“Really?” Amber was stunned but when she saw that Jack was calm, she asked, “Why don’t you look
happy? This is great news!”
“I’m happy!” Jack smiled, “But no matter how good the news is, it can’t be compared to us having a
baby!”
Amber’s eyes turned red and tears welled up. The room began to quieten down. But then suddenly, the
whirling of a helicopter could be heard from outside.
Both of them were surprised and almost at the same time, Mr. Ward yelled from outside the door,
“Master, missus, come out quickly. Old Master Hughes had sent someone to deliver the gifts!”
Gifts?
Jack and Amber exchanged looks and quickly walked out of the bedroom.
Mr. Ward’s face was flushed with happiness and said, “Last night Old Master Hughes was so happy
that he couldn’t sleep the entire night. If it wasn’t for the complex situation in the Hughes family, he
would have made this trip by himself. It is great news that missus is pregnant. That’s why he sent
someone to bring you gifts early in the morning.”
“Giving gifts just when she got pregnant?”
Amber was also puzzled.
Mr. Ward glared at Jack, “Why can’t your father give you gifts when missus is pregnant? This is your
flesh and blood and precious like no other. Old master had instructed that nothing must be missed.
Furthermore, these are for missus so why are you asking so much?”
Jack laughed awkwardly and rubbed his nose.
He held onto Amber as they walked outside and teased, “Let’s go, honey, let’s have a look what kinds
of gifts a man like my father would give.”
Then.
As Mr. Ward led Jack and Amber out towards the Bamboo grove courtyard, they looked up into the skynovelbin
and Jack was unable to smile.
This… was this really giving gifts?
