Winner Takes All novel Chapter 215

Bang!

There was a muffled sound, and with the sound of dense electricity, the communication was abruptly interrupted.

Jack Hughes’s face froze, and his heart was depressed.

The "they" that Yael Quinn spoke of was obviously someone he knew. But who exactly was it?

"Young Master, what's wrong?" Mr. Ward asked.

"Someone wants to kill Yael."

He spat out a sentence and got up, "Mother, Amber Knight, Daisy Hill, you all eat first. Mr. Ward and I will take a trip."

With the single sentence, the faces of people at the table turned pale.

Mr. Ward instantly got up.

Amber’s eyes flashed, and she was about to open her mouth to speak.

Sophie Burton, however, lightly pressed on her shoulder and stopped it.

"Be careful!" Sophie admonished.

Jack glanced at Amber and nodded at his mother again.

After he and Mr. Ward had left.

Only then did Sophie looked gently at the worried Amber and softly said, "I know that you’re worried about him, but you must know that the Hughes Family’s selection of a family head is based on the elimination of weakest, and only the toughest can make it. A family head cannot be raised in a safe zone. Only through bloodshed that a family head will emerge.”

The words were straightforward.

This was also exactly the truth.

If he wanted to be the head of the Hughes Family, he was bound to have a bumpy and abrasive journey, as was the case with Patrick Hughes back then.

On the Rolls-Royce car.

He sat on the passenger side. His face was cold.

After calling Yale’s phone three times in a row, he was sure that his phone was broken.

Without contact details, there was no way to know Yale’s exact location.

To find him, Jack would have to rely on his means.

"Mr. Ward," Jack spoke in a deep voice.

But before finishing his words.

The phone suddenly rang, interrupting his words.

It was an unknown number.

He answered the call.

"Mr. Hughes, Yale is in danger!"

Vinna Vaughn!

His pupils contracted.

"Where are you?" His voice was cold.

On the phone, she was crying. Her voice sobbing with fear, but still quickly uttered the name of a place.

Ten minutes later.

He finally found her in the downtown area.

Under the night, she was sitting alone on the road, curled up and shivering.

There were quite a few people around, and another few people were guarding the area.

Obviously, her call just now was assisted by a passer-by.

Seeing him, she could not hold her tears and howl.

"Don't cry!"

His expression was cold and stern as he admonished in a deep voice, "Where is Yale?"

A cold expression and a stern voice in his eyes.

The people around them frowned.

A stunning beauty like her was crying like this, and people around couldn't even wait to feel pitiful for her.

How could a man behave like this?

"Buddy, can you speak nicely? Can't you see that this young lady is crying?"

Someone couldn't help but say.

"Why not you try?"

He turned his head and stared at the person who had spoken with a domineering look. The man was afraid and retreated into the crowd.

"I'm asking you to stop crying now. Tell me what had happened. Get in the car with me!"

His body exuded a cold, piercing chill as he turned and walked towards the Rolls Royce.

The people around him looked terrified and stepped back to make way.

After getting into the car.

She finally spoke up.

"Yael was taken away by the people from the Quinn family."

Boom!

He was shocked. Mr. Ward, who was driving the car, also turned pale.

No wonder she only knew how to cry incompetently.

If it were the Quinn family's doing, even if it were routinely reported, no one would care.

"Quinn family, killing Yael?"

He looked at Mr. Ward in confusion.

Mr. Ward also glanced at him. Both of them looked at each other in confusion and could not understand the current situation.

"Where is Yael?" Jack asked.

"No, I don't know. They only said they were going to bury him!" Vinna was lost, sitting in the back row. Her eyes were red, and she could not stop crying.

Buried?!

He frowned as his mind was stormed with thoughts.

Suddenly, a place came to his mind.

"Mr. Ward, go to the Dragon Graveyard."

"Are you sure it’s there, young master?"

"The only place I can think of that is suitable for burying someone is the cemetery there. Anyhow, Yael is still a member of the Quinn family. And since the Quinn family wants to bury him, for the sake of their face, they wouldn't be so black-hearted and find a random place to bury him, right?"

Mr. Ward hesitated, but eventually turned his direction and drove towards the Dragon Graveyard.

However, for safety's sake, he still used his mobile phone to contact the relevant parties to investigate the surveillance footage along the way to see if there were any clues.

Inside the car, the dead silence was oppressive.

Vinna was obviously terrified. And even sitting in the back, her body was slightly curled up.

She was trying to hold her tears, but she really couldn’t.

His voice suddenly broke the dead silence, "Mr. Ward, is there such a rule in the wealthy family that as long as one is expelled from the family, he or she is to be driven to death?"

"What a joke!"

Mr. Ward laughed coldly, "No tycoon would be so petty to such an extent. Since they are tycoons, their status is not something that any person in the family can affect. To be expelled from the family tree, that is bad news for the expelled family member. But to a tycoon, it is simply insignificant."

"Every family member needs to rely on the tycoon background. Only then can they have the chance to make it big. Therefore, expulsion from the family tree would seriously affect the family’s development.”

After a pause, he added, "Is there really a tycoon with such a narrow mind, and young master, do you think that he can still become a tycoon?"

Jack rubbed his nose and let out a soft laugh.

Indeed, to become a tycoon and stand proudly at the top of the pyramid, one had to rely on means and ability, but also vision and mind.

If you wanted to kill all those who have been expelled from the family just because they have been expelled, wouldn't that drive the family members lose their respect to the family and betray each other?

A mere banishment from the family tree would still give one a chance to return the family.

Still, the tycoons loved their faces. If this incident got out, it would only make them dislike each other and draw a clear line.

After that, there would slowly be no way out.

"Then why would Yael be driven to death?"

He murmured softly. This was what was most puzzling in his mind right now.

After Yael killed his father back then, he had earned tens of billions for the Quinn family and made his name. This had established the Quinn family's position as the wealthiest family in X City.

But then, the Quinn family raised him as if he was useless.

After that, he chose to be expelled from the family tree.

It was reasonable, so he shouldn’t be killed, right?

At this point.

A video was sent to Mr. Ward's mobile phone on WeChat.

While driving, he played the video.

He then smiled to himself, "I’m old now. My brain is indeed not as good as young master’s. Just as you had guessed, Yael was taken up to the Dragon Graveyard."

Jack’s expression was stern and murderous.

Mighty killing intent filled the car.

The hearts of Mr. Ward and Vinna were chilled.

"You want to bury Yael just because you enter a cemetery? I would like to see tonight, who will be buried?"

Meanwhile.

Inside the Dragon Graveyard.

Graves were lined up.

The night was very dark.

It was eerie.

"Ah!"

A heart-rending wail of pain suddenly broke the eerie dead silence of the cemetery.

A large number of ravens flew up from the distant mountains as they were alarmed.

There were also many crows cawing irritatingly.
