Female Novel
Chapter 569 The Mysterious Man Again
In the rain.
A Ferrari sped steadily.
Jack had on a cold and menacing face.
“Ciara, help me look up the background of that young underling of Chattis’.”
Ciara stunned and remembered what Jack said to that guy.
She asked in uncertainty, “You really want to punish him?”
“Look what happened to my brother. I can’t mess with the Dragon Cavalry, but I definitely have what it
takes to show some color to a small family.”
Jack raised his brows and smirked, “This has to do with the pride of Vaughn and Wattson family.”
“Got it.” Ciara nodded and picked up her phone to perform her duty.
She was not ignorant. One would have to be sophisticated enough to be able to roll in the
entertainment industry.
Even though she was a bit in a trance, she was able to pick it up right after a little guidance from Jack.
What happened tonight made quite a scene at the bar.
There were a lot of celebrities and high caste people visiting SanJoy Clup.
If they didn’t do something to show their power and the fact that they were not to be messed with, what
happened today might spread all across the capital city by the next day.
When that happened, not only Vaughn and Wattson family, but the Quinn family would be the laughing
stock of the town.
By the time Jack and Ciara rushed to the hospital.
Yael was already sent into the ICU.
Vinna was squatting in front of the ICU in a trance, sobbing and wrapping her arms around her legs
helplessly.
“Vinna…”
Ciara called softly.
Even though they usually had quite some friction, Ciara felt bad and sympathized for Vinna when she
saw the shape she was in.
The flair between Yael and Vinna aside, Ciara could see a huge change in Vinna as a person.
In the past, Vinna was born with silver spoon and put on the pedestal since knee-high, always seemed
noble.
And today?
Tonight, the once arrogant princess willingly became the bet of a race, be insulted in public and refused
to leave.
Love… could indeed make such a huge change in a person?
“Ciara…”
Vinna stood up, ran into Ciara’s embrace, and sobbed silently.
Looking at the red light above the ICU doorway, Jack frowned deeply and felt stuffed in the chest.
He reached for his pocket subconsciously. It was empty.
“You have a cigar?” Jack asked Ciara.
Ciara took out a pack of cigarettes, “It’s the thin type, not sure if you’ll be used to it.”
Jack took the cigarette and pushed himself on the wheelchair to the stairway.
He lighted one up and pulled a long drag. Spitting out smoke, he still felt extremely stuffed in the chest.
Was Yael wrong for what happened tonight?
No!
If Jack was in his position, he would do the exact same thing without any hesitation.
He felt stuffed because he regretted that he didn’t fight back for Yael using the simplest and brutal way.
Faking a crippled, he was forced to opt for options he wouldn’t have go for to fight back in situations
like the chaos in the Hughes family and against Chattis’ Dragon Cavalry.
These options didn’t even count as fighting back at all. They were at most just him walking away with
Yael and Vinna in his hands as the winner.
“There are so many forces in this world that I still don’t have to power to fight against…”
The smoke flowed out along with Jack’s deep sigh.
Jack’s voice lingered in the empty stairway.
“Huh, the world is never as simple as you think it is.”
Out of nowhere, a raspy voice said mockingly.
Jack widened his eyes and shot his gaze towards the direction the voice was coming from.
With that sentence said, a figure unhurriedly walked down the staircase.
Looking at the man, Jack narrowed his eyes and was intuitively alerted.
Not that he was paranoid.
But the man in front of him was giving of an aura of “fakeness”.
Including…his face!
In fact, if Lyndall was at the spot, he would be able to recognize this man in a single glance.
This was the man old man who gave him the warning at the hotel back then!
The old man walked up to Jack casually and look at Jack condescendingly.
Then, he calmly took the pack of cigarette from Jack’s hand and lighted one of them.
He said while smoking, “No need to be on your guard. I’m not here to kill you.”
Remaining in his cold silence, Jack didn’t let his guard down by what he said.
The old man took a seat on the staircase and shrugged, “In fact, you should be thanking me. After all, it
all thanks to me that a beast like Lyndall willingly gave his life to you with such ease!”
Vroom!
His calm words had an impact of a roaring thunder.
The veins in Jack’s temples were popping.
He stared at the old man in a trance, “You were the guy who warned Lyndall at the hotel?”
“That’s me!” The old man let out a mouthful of smoke.
Frowning, Jack felt chills running through his body.
This mysterious man was the guy who showed up and warned Lyndall before George’s assassins
assaulted him. And a big reason Lyndall willingly gave his life to Jack was the words this mysterious
man said to him then.
But…throughout the whole assassination incident, Jack never let his guard down against this
mysterious man.
Indeed, this man helped Jack by helping him recruited Lyndall under his wings.
And he saved him by killing the members from the Powell family.
But killing members from the Powell family was itself one of the worst crimes one could commit!
This man seemed to be helping him for now, but what came next?
Furthermore, the Powell family was pressuring the Hughes family on the issue!
“You have any doubts?”
Sitting casually on the staircase, he looked at Jack and tapped off the cigarette ash.
Jack took a deep breath, “When we were saving Lyndall in the woods, you were the one who killed the
Powell family members?”
“Yeah.” The old man answered without any hesitation.
Jack’s right hand, which was pinching the cigarette, applied pressure subconsciously and put the
cigarette out.
The last bit of confusion he had in the assassination incident was now gone.
“You were the one who planned all that?” Jack asked.
“What do you mean plan? I was saving you and Lyndall.”
The old man was taken aback and shrugged, “I know what you’re thinking. You think I made the Powell
family go after you, and assassinated the Powell family members, which directs all the Powell family’s
aversion upon you.”
Jack let out a chuckle.
This was how he view the whole thing since the beginning.
“Ridiculous! Why would I bother to involve the Powell family if I want to kill you?”
Talking with a tone filled with despise, the old man put out the cigarette and got up unhurriedly, “I’m justnovelbin
here to tell you, you don’t have to worry about the Powell family. That matter would stay between them
and the Hughes family, and won’t catch you in the fire. You can rest assured and go ahead to do
whatever you’re going to do.”
With that said, the old man headed straight downstairs.
Seeing the old man was leaving, Jack expression changed.
He put his hands on the wheelchair armrests and was about to get up, “Who are you?”
Zoom!
The old man casually tossed a stone which landed in front of Jack’s wheelchair and smashed into
pieces.
Jack halted on his actions.
“You don’t need to know who I am.”
With an extremely raspy voice, the old man gave Jack a long look, “You should behave like a crippled if
you’re pretending to be one. And I’m not as sinister a person you might think I am. I’m just helping
you…”
