Chapter 188 I Am Not Discussing this with you, I Am Merely Informing You!

    "Young master, there are so many people..."


    Brent''s eyes were sparkling with tears.


    He was never afraid of killing someone, since the job of a mercenary was to kill or be killed. They never had a choice.


    However, right in front of his eyes, these people made him hesitate.


    "When they were pulling the trigger just now, they never thought of whether they would really end up killing us too."


    Jack''s words were able to vanquish all sort of indecisiveness in Brent.


    The dpidated Hummer let out a roar and ramped up its speed. It was careening towards the main hall of the old castle without letting up.


    Everyone who was present in the hall had a look of shock on their faces.


    "Oh my god, is this bastard crazy? Is he nning to bang into us like that?"


    "My lord, pleasee to a decision now. Order the security guards to pull the trigger now! We can''t let this crazy dog in!"


    "He deserves to die! The Burton family can''t tolerate such oppression!"


    While they were shaking with fear, all members of the Burton family were also in a frenzied state.


    As the wealthiest family in the capital, even for those who were not direct descendants of the main family, they always upheld their pride with the prestige on their side. Their pride alone allowed them to get used to looming over ordinary people in the city.


    On the other hand, Jack alone was able to bring down their arrogant attitude as he forcefully pulled them off the top of the clouds to the depths of muddy puddle. For an affluent family like them, their dignity was even more important than their lives.


    "Defend!"


    Outside the hall, more than a dozen security personnel were standing in formation, ready to defend their base.


    While being sted by a bright ray of light, three of the security guards all raised the gun in their hands.


    The muzzles of three jet-ck guns were pointed at the iing Hummer by avoiding the other people in between.


    The air was electrified with an imminent sh threatening to break the silence!


    In front of the hall, everything fell into silence and only the roaring sound of the engine of the Hummer could be heard.


    From the looks of things, there was no sign of the Hummer slowing down, but rather it was picking up its speed with the increasing volume of the roar.


    The few dozen security guards all had their brows furrowed as their faces looked grim. Some of them were even breaking out films of sweat of their foreheads.


    This was actually the first time they were guarding the main fortress of the Burton family ever since they were first inducted into the family.


    All sorts ofplicated emotion that included terror, shock, confusion and anxiety were swirling in their hearts.


    At the same time, Old Master Burton who was sitting in the main hall was exceptionally calmpared to the others.


    He just watched the iing Hummer and furrowed his brows. His sharp gaze resembled those of a venomous snake, and even his veins were bulging on his skin.


    All the other members of the Burton family had finally settled down, but there was still an ominous air surrounding them.


    A middle-aged man who was standing beside Old Master Burton said in a low voice, "Dad, this bastard is a maniacal betrayer. Let''s kill him!"


    This man was Dyson, who was Old Master Burton''s eldest son. In terms of prestige and reputation, he was only second to the old master himself. "Hmph!"


    With a cold snort, Old Master Burton took a step forward with determination in his eyes.


    Dyson immediately felt ecstatic, and there was a murderous gaze in his eyes.


    He was the eldest son of the Burton family, and his status in the family was only second to the head of the family.


    If nothing out of the ordinary happened, he would be the next head of the family!


    Only by being the head of the Burton family, he could enjoy all the wealth and resources in the family. To him, it was the most honorable title to hold.


    However, his father somehow changed his mind a while ago and decided to let his damned younger sister''s son to be the next head.


    When he learnt of this news, he could feel endless anger surging from within.


    He had been waiting for his chance for a decade. He had been waiting for his father to drop dead so that he could grasp the throne of the family for himself.


    How could he allow an illegitimate child who didn''t even bear the family name to be the head of the family?


    Dyson tried to convince his father to change his mind, but to his surprise, his father had a will of steel.


    With seemingly no solution to his predicament, he didn''t expect that Jack would go up against the Burton family all by himself.


    "You''re the one looking for death, so don''t me me for assisting you on your journey!"


    As he watched the approaching Hummer and that face behind the steering wheel which had traces of Sophie''s appearance, he could only feel his murderous sense getting stronger by the minute. Despite that, Old Master Burton suddenly shouted, "Everyone, get out of the way!"


    With a loud bang sounding off in his head, Dyson could feel his body tremble all over. His facial expression started to distort.


    His one sentence alone came as a major shock to everyone who heard him!


    Had the head of the family gone crazy?


    This bastard was going to intrude into the old castle of the Burton family, yet the head was nning to do nothing and just allow him to stomp all over the grounds?


    If word of this were to get out, the Burton family would be theughing stock of the whole city!


    "Dad..." As the eldest son, Dyson immediately wanted to stop his father.


    "Get out of my way!"


    His father''s howl was akin to a lion''s roar.


    At the same time, the Hummer was already very near to the main hall.


    The dozen of security guards all discarded their indecisiveness and all hurriedly retired to the side.


    As the Hummer crashed into the stairs, the other family members couldn''t hold still anymore. They all staggered backwards with fear in their eyes.


    Under everyone''s shocking gaze, only Old Master Burton was standing unfazed in the middle of the hall!


    "Dad..."


    Dyson was really fearing for his father''s life.


    "My lord."


    "Dad."


    "Grandpa."


    In an instant, all sorts of shrieks filled the air, but no one dared to take a step forward.


    The Hummer was now in the hall and the blinding light given off by the carmp showered everything in the hall, including Old Master Burton.


    Everyone couldn''t help squinting their eyes.


    Some of the adults were even covering their children''s eyes.


    With a loud screeching sound, the Hummer halted abruptly.


    Just when everyone thought that Old Master Burton was never going to escape this unscathed anymore, the carmp was switched off, revealing the old master once again.


    He was still rooted to the same spot, and his body was only mere inches away from the Hummer!


    It was dead silence in the hall.


    Old Master Burton continued to stand motionless, and he was staring at Jack in the driver''s seat with an unfriendly expression.


    Jack was returning his gaze at the same time.


    The mere act of them locking gaze subconsciously exerted an invisible pressure on everyone present.


    In the end, Old Master Burton broke the silence with a coldugh, "You don''t have the guts to kill me?"


    "Do you think you are worthy enough for me to kill you?" Jack let out a stubborn and arrogantugh.


    He opened the car door and got off the car.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    Behind him, Brent, Mr. Ward and Yael all got off the car too.


    Old Master Burton scanned through all of them and began, "Mr. Ward, this youngster here is obviously just getting carried away, yet you are joining him despite your old age?"


    "You don''t have the right to even talk to me yet!" Mr. Ward was very disdainful.


    The expression on Old Master Burton''s face was even more ambiguous at this point. His gaze fell upon Yael and he couldn''t stop himself from giggling, "The murderer who killed his dad in the Quinn family was joining the party as well?"


    Yael rolled his eyes with both his hands thrust into his pockets, "Like it has anything to do with you!"


    Old Master Burton''s expression darkened slightly.


    At that moment, Dyson and the lot of them who were originally in a daze finally came back to themselves.


    "Capture them!" He howled.


    More than a dozen security guards barged into the main hall.


    However, Old Master Burton dished out another order, "Nobody cane close now!"


    With just a shout, everyone stopped in their tracks.


    He continued vehemently, "If anyone of you hurt my grandson even for one bit, I will make sure you die a terrible death!"


    Dyson had an inner struggle at the moment as he was slowly consumed by frustration.


    All the other members of the Burton family were very confused and angered by their head''s decision.


    Jack cracked a smile upon hearing that.


    He slowly strutted towards Old Master Burton, "You are really shameless!"


    "You are still young and ignorant. I won''t me you!" Old Master Burton revealed a gentle smile as if everything that had happened to build up to this moment never existed in the first ce.


    "I am here to take my mother home!"


    Jack red at Old Master Burton coldly.


    "Your mother is already home." Old Master Burton had the warmest smile ever, but there was firm determination hidden in his eyes.


    The moment he said that, Jack suddenly grabbed Old Master Burton''s neck and warned, "I am not discussing this matter with you. I am merely informing you! Or else, I can send you to the other side and let you join your ancestors!"
