Chapter 69 Mom, Let’s Go To Our New House
The deafening roars and shouts thundered.
The intense lights were blinding.
Death was waiting.
Yet at this moment, Jack felt a kind of peace that he had never experienced before. He didn’t grow up
in a pleasant environment. The things that he had experienced far exceeded that of others.
Death only took a moment. But to live in despair was long and agonizing. It was natural to fear death.
But anyone who had lived through despair would have the courage to face death.
“That’s impossible, why is it like that? He shouldn’t be in this state…”
Devil’s heart sank. He habitually pushes his opponents to a desperate state and then he will finish him
off with a blow to exert his superiority over his opponent. But now Jack’s reaction was beyond his
expectations.
Swish!
His right hand flicked and the cold dagger sprung from his ring.
“Die!” Devil yelled as he clenched his jaws and rushed towards Jack.
Previously, he would at least conceal the dagger during his attacks but now, he totally exposed it under
the intense lights and everyone could see it.
“You’ve lost it.” Jack smiled. The soft murmur seemed to explode in Devil’s ears causing him to lose his
concentration.
Jack moved suddenly. In a twist, he swiftly dodged the dagger. His right hand chopped directly onto
Devil’s throat. A blunt ‘thump’, followed by the low agonizing groan of Devil.
Kaboom! Devil copsed onto the ground!
The deafening shouts and cheers suddenly went quiet in the darkness.
All eyes fell onto Jack.
“Hmph…” Jack heaved a sigh and walked towards the door of the cage without looking at Devil. Even if
the swift hand chop to the throat didn’t kill Devil, he wasn’t far from death.
nk nk…
The rattling of the cage door woke the dazed umpire. He hastily opened the door and Jack walked out
of the cage slowly.
His right hand held onto his left arm and walked towards Brent and then raised his middle finger, “Fuck
you!”
Before he entered the cage, Brent agreed to intervene if he noticed something amiss but from
beginning to the end, Brent only watched from one side.
Did he set me up? Jack thought.
Brent smiled, “Master Hughes, you’ve advanced rapidly.”
“Let’s go to the hospital,” Jack said helplessly.
Lone Wolf regained hisposure after the two of them left. He turned around to look at the two of
them disappearing into the darkness and he clenched his fists tightly. His eyes lit up with determination.
A few secondster, the dead silent Underground Fight Club started to boil over.
“Damn it… how could it be like thest fight? Who the hell is he?”
“God, I’ve lost another hundred thousand!”
“He clearly was about to die, how could he reverse the situation?”
…
Themotion almost rattled off Underground Fight Club’s roof. The anger was intense.
Most of the spectators were unaware that above them was a row of VIP rooms. There were only a few
VIP rooms and reserved for the rich and famous of the city. That was why Lone Wolf was approached
by those wealthy men to hire him as their bodyguard.
One of the VIP room was dimly lit. One person stood quietly at the huge single panel window. He
looked towards the exit of the arena and remarked happily.
“I didn’t expect you to be so talented…”
…
Along their way to the hospital, Jack remained silent and looked out of the window. Brent felt somewhat
awkward. He knew that Jack felt that he had set Jack up with regards to the fight. The taxi driver looked
at Jack’s terrible state and didn’t speak out of fear.
The atmosphere was extremely tensed.
After a while, Brent spoke and exined, “Master… I didn’t set you up. I wanted you to emerge from a
hellish situation and then send your opponent to hell.”
“Was this the equivalent of living life without fear of death?” Jack raised his eyebrows and continued to
look outside and pondered deeply.
He softly murmured, “Actually, my mother and I lived through hellish conditions since I was a kid.”
Brent was stunned.
A fight and the mention of ‘bastard’, managed to dig up Jack’s painful memory.
He smiled bitterly, “Have you ever seen a four year old child braving the blizzard on new year’s night,
going from door to door to beg for money in order to save his mother’s life? In the end, they threw
money at the kid after calling him a bastard. The child was finally able to gather enough money to save
his mother.”
“Have you seen a mother having a head of white hair at the age of thirty? She endured all forms of
abuse and beatings just to bring up a child?”
Jack turned around and his eyes were already red. He looked at the stunned Brent and smiled, “I’ve
seen it… for twenty over years!”
Brent was about to speak.
Jack wiped his face andposed himself, “I know that you are a person who crawled out from death
but you don’t know the difference between death and living in despair. You wanted me to emerge from
hell but you don’t know that I had lived in hellish despair for twenty over years.”
“I’m sorry…” Brent knew that he had touched on Jack’s painful past and quickly apologized.
Jack waved andughed. His expression wasn’t depressed and gloomy like a moment ago, instead, it
was radiant and full of fortitude.
“I never give up, I don’t know what giving up is. I moved forward with every step I take and I will rise
even higher in the future.” As he said this, Jack patted Brent’s shoulder andughed, “Thanks! Come to
think of it, if you had intervened, I wouldn’t have had this breakthrough.”
He spent several days in the hospital. The fight at Underground Fight Club had left him severely
injured.
At least all the apartments at Dragon Garden were sold on the day of theunch. All the subsequent
procedures can be settled by Corbin and his team. As for the sales of the secondunch, thepany
staff can also handle it without him.
He didn’t tell his mother nor Amber about his injuries because he didn’t want his two most important
women to worry.
A week went by quickly.
Brent settled the hospital discharge procedures for Jack. Jack insisted on being discharged against the
advice of the doctors and nurses because today was the day his mother will be discharged.
He also nned to take his mother to their new house.
He went with Brent to LJ hospital and Amber was already there packing up the things together with
Daisy. Sophie was sitting on one side waiting for them to finish.
Although she was still weak, Sophie’s condition was much better than before and had met the
conditions to be discharged from the hospital.
As Jack walked into the patient room, arge pile of fruits and health supplements caught his attention.
The pile of fruits and health supplements upied almost a third of the patient’s room.
“Who gave them?” Jack asked in surprise.
On hearing this, Amber’s eyes dimmed while Sophie drooped her head.
Daisy replied, “They are from the Parry family.”
Jack suddenly felt that it was amusing. Can they behave more disgustingly?
Sophie then said, “Daisy, I’ll be discharged today. Give these to the nurses'' station and request them to
distribute them to the other patients. I don’t want to eat anything given by the Parry family. It’s
disgusting.”

Jack was bewildered. Ever since he was a child, he was brought up to be soft-spoken and tough. He
normally won’t hear his mother say any upsetting words.
“Ah? Missus, you really want to give them away?” Daisy had been used to being thrifty and couldn’t
bear to give them away. All the things there amount to at least a few thousand yuan. It was a pity to
give them away.
“My son cannot be pushed around by others. How can I remain cordial from the way the Parry family
treated my son?” Sophie’s expression darkened and then pointed towards the bag of fruits next to the
bed and smiled, “Take the fruits bought by Amber. They are delicious.”
On hearing this, Amber smiled radiantly. Jack also smiled and looked at his mother gratefully.
“Mom, let’s go back to our new house.”
“New house?” Sophie was stunned, “Jack, when did we have a new house?”
“Auntie, let’s go. This is a surprise that Jack has prepared for you.” Amber held onto Sophie’s arm
happily.
