Winner Takes All novel Chapter 152

The middle-aged man was horrified to see Lone Wolf bow to Jack.

Suddenly he realized that Lone Wolf had already left their gang but why did he suddenly appear here? He had heard about the reason for Lone Wolf’s departure. Could it be… A terrifying thought flooded his mind. The middle-aged man looked at Jack in disbelief and became extremely terrified.

“Hmm?” Jack raised his eyebrows.

Lone Wolf quickly explained, “They are from the underground fight club. The boxing club has several levels. Although my time was short in the fight club, I’m considered one of the big brothers when it came to skills.”

“Does the underground fight club extend its influence this far?”

Jack scoffed and looked at Lone Wolf, “I’m busy looking after my brother and sister. You decide what you want to do.”

Brother? Sister? Lone Wolf trembled and looked towards Daisy and Brent who was injured.

A fit of fierce anger surged. Lone Wolf squatted quickly down and pulled out the butterfly knife in the middle-aged man’s leg. Fresh blood splattered everywhere.

The middle-aged man screamed and shouted in horror, “Lone Wolf, I didn’t know. I was just collecting the debt. You… for the sake of boss…”

Swoosh! The butterfly knife slashed and severed the injured leg’s hamstring. Fresh blood poured and the flesh curled open. The six men standing not far away were terrified and trembled in fear. The middle-aged man screamed and collapsed on the ground. His eyes rolled back and fainted from the intense pain.

Lone Wolf threw the butterfly knife down to the ground, stood up, and said, “Even boss will have to apologize to Mr. Hughes, who the hell do you think you are?”

After he said, he walked to Jack. He took over Brent from Jack and carried Brent on his back and ran down the hill. Jack held onto Daisy and he felt sorry for her.

He turned to look at Daisy’s terrified father and said coldly to him, “From today onwards, Daisy belongs to my family. Your relationship with her has ended. If you dare to harass…”

Jack pointed to the middle-aged man, “You will end up like him!”

Daisy’s father trembled and turned pale and nodded in horror, “No, I dare not, I will never ever.”

“Let’s go,” Jack said to Daisy coldly. When certain things can’t be sorted out and an outright severance of contact was the only solution.

What Brent and Daisy did before was too tender to break her relationship with her father.

At this point, Daisy didn’t object a single bit. Once a person was hurt to the extreme, it was time to let go of everything.

As Jack walked past the middle-aged man, he coldly laughed, “When you go back, get your boss to have Aiden Lott to come to present his apologies.”

Kaboom!

The close to death middle-aged man was shocked awake. The secret boss of the underground fight club was Aiden Lott! When he heard Jack’s words, he felt like the sky was about to collapse! He practically forgot about his pain.

The small drizzle started to intensify into a downpour.

When Lone Wolf ran down the hill and to the car, Brent had already fainted and died. Lone Wolf wanted to drive but was stopped by Jack. Jack got into the car and drove. The Rolls Royce rushed in the night towards LJ Hospital.

Brent was sent to the emergency ward for resuscitation. Daisy sat listlessly on the floor of the entrance as if she had lost her soul. She just looked blankly at the red light outside the treatment room.

Jack sat on the chair while Lone Wolf stood uneasily to one side. He knew that something serious had happened when he received Jack’s call. Based on his background, if Jack was to contact him at night, it must not be something to do with business but must be associated with something illegal.

That was why he rushed over but didn’t expect to be late. What he also never expected was the other party were people that he knew in the underground fight club. Lone Wolf was shocked when he was addressed as ‘big brother’.

Lone Wolf looked at the emergency treatment room, took a deep breath, and said, “Mr. Hughes…”

“It’s got nothing to do with you,” Jack replied.

Lone Wolf swallowed what he wanted to say and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Jack rubbed his nose, “Do you think that Aiden will come to apologize to me?”

Boom!

It was as if Lone Wolf was struck by lightning and he had an expression of disbelief. Who was Aiden? He was the city’s mogul and the boss of an underground mafia! He was all-powerful in the business world and controlled the underground fight club in the shadows.

With such a status, perhaps he may humble himself for the sake of self-interest but that was for out of being polite. For him to present his apologies, that meant that he had to forgo his status, grovel and throw away his dignity!

“Based on Aiden’s status and background, I don’t think so.” Lone Wolf spoke his mind.

“Status and background?” Jack narrowed his eyes and scoffed with disdain and coldness, “What the hell is he?”

Lone Wolf looked at Jack in surprise and bewilderment. This… was this the Jack that he knew?

This night the entire city was blanketed by the thunderstorm and was eerily calm.

Aiden slept soundly in the luxurious and spacious bedroom and was woken by a telephone call. As soon as he received the call, his eyes raged with fury.

Bang!

He threw the phone onto the floor and it was smashed into pieces.

“Bastards! A bunch of fools!” Aiden’s face was red from anger and trembled furiously, “Don’t you know who he is? What possessed you to antagonize him and stir up such a big problem?” His fury echoed in the dark room.

Aiden turned on the light and lit a cigarette. He paced in the room with worry.

“Hubby, what’s wrong?” Outside the bedroom, a female voice asked worriedly. She was Aiden’s wife.

Aiden had a habit of working at night and when he was busy, he would sleep in different rooms with his wife.

“Fuck off! Don’t bother me!” Aiden’s right hand pinched the cigarette and yelled.

It became quiet.

Hoof… hoof…

Aiden took long drags of the cigarette and exhaled the smoke and mumbled, “Present my apologies? He wants me to go and apologize to him? How is that different from asking me to kneel to him?”

After a while, Aiden turned and took out a spare phone from the drawer.

He called a number and as soon as it was answered, he said coldly, “Bury all those idiots that were involved tonight!”

He calmed down after ending the call.

When he raged a moment ago, he felt the humiliation of the demand for him to apologize. But now, he began to assess the situation based on the merits and downside.

Finally, Aiden laughed bitterly and sat on the bed and muttered, “So be it. I’ve tried my best but didn’t expect to cause such a huge problem. If I don’t go and apologize, if I don’t lay down my dignity, perhaps henceforth I will not have a place in this city.”

He was not a fool! Now that he couldn’t depend on Killian and Madam Hughes, Jack can easily erase him from this city.
