Female Novel
Chapter 547 Dead, Dead?!
So… you were going to escape already?
Jack Hughes was a bit confused.
The front foot crossed with the killer’s intent, but the back foot was prepared to escape immediately.
He glanced at the stone on the tree trunk behind Lyndall Long.
At the same time, Lyndall lost support and slid down the trunk.
Jack slowly turned around his head with his right hand flowing streaks of blood to the ground.
As soon as he saw the middle-aged man about to take down the “Powell” name token embedded on
the trunk.
“Stay!”
Jack burst into anger and raised his bloody stained right hand.
The Fish Scale Line glowed with a faint cold light as if gently whispering into and wrapping around the
middle-aged man.
“I want to go; nobody can stay me!”
The middle-aged man suddenly turned around and a flying dagger appeared on his hand in which he
blatantly waved.
A crisp sound exploded into the atmosphere.
Jack felt the Fish Line Scale that flew out loosened and the rest of the Fish Scale Line also quickly
returned to the box.
Almost simultaneously.
The middle-aged man calmly took down the “Powell” name token, calmly left, and quickly went into the
woods.
Jack stared blankly on his right hand. The fear couldn’t be hidden from his pale blood-stained face.
After Brent gave the Fish Scale Line to him as a weapon, it didn’t always serve a win in battles. There
were also losses.
However, this was the first time it had been cut off by someone!
It also happened in a snap!
Easily, it was like cutting a piece of cloth.
Looking up at the direction where the middle-aged man left, Jack’s pupils tightened with fear.
This person…who was this?
What did that piece of “Powell” name tag mean?
The reason why he gave a shot a while ago wasn’t to keep the middle-aged man, but rather to keep the
“Powell” name tag embedded on the tree trunk.
A token that allowed the middle-aged man to be still and firm to get it away, even if he could be
encircled by men, must be of importance.
“Young master!”
As Mr. Ward and Brent rushed over, their faces changed drastically and were extremely frightened.
When they saw Jack covered in injuries, they were stunned.
Even Brent, who revived from the death, couldn’t help but take a cold breath.
His gaze moved down to Jack’s right hand. Through the light, one could vaguely see the flesh torn
down, all dripping with blood.
“Let’s go.”
Jack bitterly smiled, and told Mr. Ward and Brent, “I’ve always thought that you two found something
wrong.”
“We found it.”
Mr. Ward nodded and strongly spoke, “But we need to kill the killer. Brent and I already did our best to
get it resolved as quickly as possible and rushed back.”
While he was talking, Mr. Ward frowned at Willy Parker’s corpse, “I didn’t think that there’s more than
just Willy Parker in this matter.”
“The one that got away a while ago is the true danger behind all of them.”
Jack looked down at Lyndall Long who was lying on the floor, “If it wasn’t for Lyndall’s desperate
gunshot that bought us some time, you would’ve seen two corpses by now.”
Mr. Ward and Brent’s faces changed simultaneously.
They were so frightened.
Both of them came forward. Brent carried Jack, and Mr. Ward carried Lyndall. Brent also helped carry a
hand.
They were about to walk away from the woods.
When Jack suddenly called out Brent.
He pointed at the stone thrown into the tree trunk a while ago, “Brent, when did you get so strong?”
“What?”
Brent froze for a moment, turned to see the stone that didn’t enter the tree trunk, and was shocked, “I, I
didn’t do this!”
Boom!
At that moment, Jack was stunned and his face changed drastically.
There were other masters in these deep woods?
“Even Brent still couldn’t achieve such strong force!”
Mr. Ward glanced and was lost in shock.
He had worked with Brent for many years, so he knew how strong Brent is, “If Brent throws this rock,
he could only reach two-thirds of this force.”
Jack looked extremely cold.
Looking at the dark mountains and woods that surrounded them.
That master who has been hiding in the dark, why should he save me?
After taking a deep breath, Jack said, “Let’s get out of here as fast as possible. Set off signal flares and
gather everyone from the local office of the Hughes family.”
Simultaneously, a signal flare rose up into the sky.
Jack and the three other men then walked away.
Before the people from the Hughes family office arrived.
Mr. Ward worriedly asked, “Young master, what is the background of the person who just ran away?
Now that he has run away and you’ve revealed yourself, it might bring more danger.”
“We can’t keep him.”
Jack bitterly smiled, “Even if Brent was there, we still can’t keep him.”
The force of the stone hitting into the trunk had been said by Brent and Mr. Ward themselves.
He had also personally felt the middle-aged man’s strength. If he could hit the trunk with the stones he
threw, then he should be as good as the man who saved him.
There was no doubt that the existence of such strength was superior.
Brent pursed his lips, but he didn’t rebut.
With his extensive fighting experiences, when he first saw Jack’s injury, he already knew that it was a
one-sided battle.
He also knew Jack’s strength very well; thus, comparing the two, he now clearly knew the strength of
the killer who calmly left.
Jack hesitated for a while then asked, “Mr. Ward, do you know any wealthy or powerful families with the
surname Powell?”
Mr. Ward’s body shook and wobbled.
Maybe it was due to his old body and carrying Lyndall might be too heavy for him that led him to be
unstable.
He shook his head, “No, I don’t.”
“Alright, let’s go to LJ Hospital as soon as possible.”
Jack didn’t dig deeper into it. He looked at Lyndall who was still unconscious, “This guy is loyal enough.
It would be a pity if he died.”
Mr. Ward and Brent sped up at the same time.
As they near the mountainside, the people from the local office of the Hughes family who once
scattered also swarmed around.
With the arrival of protection, Jack finally felt relieved.
The pressure and fear brought by the middle-aged man to him was too strong, strong enough to bring
him into despair.
Though the middle-aged man escaped already, he was still hidden in the woods. It would be hard to
guarantee that he wouldn’t return and carry out an assassination in secret.
With the middle-aged man’s strength, Jack was certain of his power!novelbin
Looking back, Jack still lingered with fear.
Each scene replayed in his mind like a nightmare, leaving Jack in low spirits.
The difference in their strengths made him feel powerless as he faced the middle-aged man.
He only felt this defeat from Brown Hughes in so long.
Yet this time, it felt even stronger!
It was so strong that Jack and Lyndall had a near-death experience.
However.
Following the exclamation from the people from the local office of the Hughes family, Jack was instantly
awakened from his frightening stage into reality.
“There’s a corpse!”
With that exclamation, the entire group exploded.
“Guards, have two people go and check!”
Mr. Ward screamed while carrying Lyndall and kept back to back with Brent who was carrying Jack to
allow the people from the local office of the Hughes family to check around the area.
Jack laid on Brent’s back, staring at the two people from the Hughes family office walking towards the
front, and directed his attention there.
Along the mountain highway, the two cars that exploded a while ago still continued to emit smoke and
fire flares.
At the back were more than a dozen cars they just drove here.
The corpse was laying right in front of their Rolls Royce.
As soon as Jack saw the corpse clearly, a “bang” sounded in his head.
He blurted out.
“Dead, dead?!”
