Chapter 477 Boom!

Both Rena and Isaac looked at Jack confused.

It had been silent for a few seconds before Carlos’s voice slowly came from the room, “Come in, Mr.

Hughes. Rena, I need a moment with Jack.”

Hearing this, Rena and Isaac became even more confused looking at Jack.

They didn’t say anything but turned around and waited in the yard.

Jack rolled the handle on his wheelchair towards the bedroom where Carlos was sitting up in his

armchair with a serious look without any awkwardness.

“Mr. Yales, you haven’t been out for three days.” said Jack.

Carlos’s wrinkled face suddenly blushed and he looked down to cough awkwardly. When he looked up

again, he became calm looking at Jack with appreciation.

“You are brilliant! I can say that you are the smartest guy of your generation whom I’ve ever known in

my life. After I saw the video, I wondered whether you would sense something. To my surprise, younovelbin

did.” Carlos spoke highly of Jack.

“Thank you, Mr. Yales.” Jack nodded.

Seeing this, Carlos was more satisfied with him but at the same time felt kind of upset. 'If we had

encountered him earlier, he would have been the best fit for Rena who also has a crush on him. It’s a

pity that an affinity is yet to reach.' Carlos thought to himself.

He took a deep breath trying to restrain his depression and stared at Jack with his blazing eyes, “As

what you have thought.”

Jack nodded with his gleaming eyes, “I want to see him.”

“It’s not the time yet.” said Carlos shaking his hand.

“Okay.” Jack nodded firmly and then turned around to leave with his wheelchair.

Carlos was quite surprised that Jack didn’t even hesitate for a second, which caught him off guard.

He had to bite back the words he had prepared.

When Jack was about to roll his wheelchair out of the door, he stopped and said, “Well, it’s no big deal

to have been drunk for once. Tough times don’t last.”

Hearing this, Carlos was struck dumb and a flush mounted to his face all the sudden. He signed

rubbing his forehead, “You won’t understand. You are still too young.”

Jack smiled and didn’t say anything.

Rena and Isaac stood in the yard looking at each other without any idea of what happened.

They were confused and shocked to see how Carlos had changed after talking with Jack.

Why would Jack asked “Who’s the lackey?”

“There he is.” Said Isaac when he saw Jack coming out of the room.

Rena rushed up to help Jack with his wheelchair.

She asked curiously, “What have you talked with grandpa?”

Jack shook his hand and said, “Please send me to the east yard.”

He didn’t want to talk about it, as it was something that he was cagey about at that moment. Otherwise,

Carlos would have told Rena and Isaac about it.

Jack was as calm as usual on the way to the east yard, while Rena and Isaac were in doubts. They ran

into the members from the Grand Freemasons, who greeted the three respectfully.

At the same time, a young man wearing yellow hair was hovering nervously in the east yard.

He looked scared while looking around as if he was trying to find something. He tightened his clothes

and clenched his teeth, becoming worried.

Ever since the SH guildhall was heavily fortified, the east yard, though cleared, had been heavily

guarded as well.

The young man with yellow hair spotted a chance when there were few people around, so he tightened

his clothes and strode towards the room bending his back.

“Stay where you are!” Someone shouted suddenly, “That’s where our distinguished guest lives. No one

is allowed to enter without permit.”

This was especially demanded by Isaac. In the SH guildhall, only Rena, Isaac and Carlos could enter

Jack’s room freely.

However, the young man with yellow hair didn’t stop. Instead, he ran madly with fierceness in his eyes.

“Catch him!” Several people from the Grand Freemasons immediately ran towards the young man who

was sweating all over with a more ferocious look while running insanely.

“What the hell is death about? I don’t give a damn. I’m not afraid of anything but poverty.” The young

man roared with a hoarse voice, “I’ve enjoyed my life. It’s time to get down to business.”

He had reached the door while he roared.

All the sudden, he stopped and turned around staring angrily at the people running after him, his eyes

bloodshot with rage.

They were stunned at his sudden stop.

“This distance is good enough.” He grinned hideously.

They were terrified to see a row of bombs apparently around his belly when his right hand torn his tops

apart fiercely.

“Retreat!” They all retreated with terror when almost at the same time his right hand grabbed the

detonating cord without any hesitation. He pulled it hard gnashing his teeth.

Boom!

The blast sent a mushroom cloud of smoke into the air. The terrible explosion wave destroyed

everything it swept all of a sudden.

It was such a strong blast that all the people in the SH guildhall could feel the shaking clearly with a

deafening explosion.

“Shoot! Something’s come up!” Jack, Rena and Isaac were on their way back to the east yard when

they heard the boom and were all terrified.

“I have to go first!” Isaac strode towards the east yard while Rena pushed Jack’s wheelchair with a

faster speed.

It was an explosion, an explosion that happened in SH guildhall.

Rena had never encountered anything like this in her whole life, which sent a shiver down her spine

while she was walking quickly towards the east yard, terrified and lost.

“Have they changed the way?” said Jack sitting on his wheelchair calmly.

When they arrived at the east yard, the air was filled with a strong smell mixed with gunpowder and

burning ashes which made people cough.

They could see the burning flame in the yard even from the outside. The yard was filled with people’s

painful screaming, just like a land swarming with disaster victims.

When they entered the east yard, Jack and Rena were stunned to see that almost half people of the

east yard had collapsed, especially Jack’s room which had been completely destroyed.

It was such a mess with burning flames. Those who got hurt scattered around in the yard screaming

and rolling over on the floor with agony, which looked as if it was hell.

Many people rushed to the east yard to help. Isaac was arranging the rescue.

He was raged while he managed to hold back his anger.

“Isaac, what happened?” Rena came up to Isaac while pushing Jack’s wheelchair.

Isaac turned around and said nastily, “A young man from our SH guildhall, who was at the end of his

rope, had been bought off to drop the bombs which caused big casualties to our people.”

Both Jack and Rena looked frozen and felt a shiver down their spines.

At the sight of all the mess and miseries here, Rena blurted out, “If we hadn’t go to see grandpa just

now, we would have been...”
