Chapter 339 Go to The Hughes Residence


    “The Assassin death squad top killer, Ghost!” Mr. Ward looked doubtful as he said.


    Ghost?! Jack shuddered and immediately revealed a shocked expression. But how could it be?


    “Can’t be, Ghost was herest week and was that man who was covered with cloth straps!” Jack’s


    voice stuttered. Even with his temperament, he was unable to control the horror he felt, “Mr. Ward


    actually all of you had met him but he knocked you all unconscious. It was Uncle Brown who scared


    him off. How could he have gone to kill my father?”


    Jack was immediately filled with doubts. The kill ordermissioned by the Burton family had targeted


    him. When Ghost failed to kill him, why did he go on to kill his father?


    That was bullshit! Even if the Assassin Squad was retarded, they could not have issued a ridiculous


    addendum to that order!


    “Master, I was equally shocked when I found out about this. The family is investigating this and we still


    do not know the reasons for this.” Mr. Ward looked doubtfully at Jack.


    When the Assassin Squad issued the hit order on Jack, it had initially been kept secret. However, a


    third party intentionally leaked the order outside of the dark and caused normal people to be


    enticed by the prize money for killing Jack.


    Now, Ghost who had given up on killing Jack turned around to make an assassination attempt on the


    head of the Hughes family. Even Mr. Ward who had experienced so much was dumbfounded by such a


    turn of events.


    Jack’s gaze glimmered and the vein at the corner of his eyes continued to throb but he could not find


    answers to his doubts.


    Suddenly he raised his head and asked, “Who killed Ghost? Father had already sent the best guards to


    protect me, the remaining guards could not possibly kill Ghost!”


    He had personally witnessed the horrific abilities of Ghost. The most elite guards were led by Brent and


    Daisy who were ranked 23rd and 20th on the Azrael list and yet were knocked unconscious by Ghost


    silently. It was impossible for the normal guards to stop a killer of such abilities.


    Even if his father had formed another elite unit of protection guards after sending his best to Jack it was


    still not possible for them to handle Ghost! Furthermore, the current situation was Ghost was killed


    while his father was just injured. Jack was certain that no security team in the entire world was able to


    do this.


    “I don’t know.” Mr. Ward shook his head as he looked down trying his best to hide his horror. He said


    slowly, “Old master had only told me this and instructed me to take good care of you. But I feel that


    there was more than meets the eye. I think that master needs toe with me back to the Hughes


    residence.”


    “Go to the Hughes residence?” Jack frowned.


    “I disagree!” Amber said sharply.


    Jack and Mr. Ward turned to look at Amber.


    Amber’s beautiful face was very serious as she said solemnly, “You silly fool, it’s too dangerous for you


    to go back to the Hughes residence! Every member of the Hughes family regards you as a thorn in


    their flesh. If you go back now, everyone will attack you immediately.”


    Jack did not retort as Amber’s concerns were reasonable and could even be worse than what Amber


    thought.


    Now that his father was injured, he no longer had control over the family. Madam Hughes would


    naturally take over control and if he was to go to the Hughes residence, it would be like walking into a


    lion’s den.


    “Master, you should decide on this.” Mr. Ward said.


    How could Mr. Ward not see the dangers that Amber was concerned about? The garden suddenly


    became quiet and tense. Jack stood in ce with his fists clenched. On one side was his wife’s

    objection while on the other side was his injured father and a puzzling assassination case.


    How should he choose?


    “Hubby, please calm down.” Amber grabbed Jack’s arm and said, “Furthermore, the kill order by the


    assassin squad is still active. If you go, not only you have to face up to the Hughes family, you’ll still


    have the risk of being assassinated.”


    Jack shuddered and the hesitation within him disappeared and he looked determined.


    “Huff…” Jack exhaled a breath and Jack smiled, “Honey, I have to make a trip!”


    What? Amber was first surprised and then it turned into anger. She had spent the effort to exin to


    him her concerns but why did Jack insist on going to the Hughes residence?


    “Uncle Brown had said that I should press forward with determination on certain things.” Jack exined


    carefully and was increasingly determined, "Escaping from reality cannot solve anything. Now the


    Hughes family is on the cusp of a huge change with my father being injured. In my private capacity, I


    need to visit my father, and officially I need to find out what was going on. Only when I find out what


    was going on can I change the situation regarding the assassination order on me.”


    In the past, he was not aware of the circumstances and was filled with hatred because his father had


    abandoned him and his mother. But once he started to understand what had happened, his feelings for


    his father had slowly changed for the better. Life’s greatest tragedy was to raise a child while the parent


    was absent. Furthermore, Jack’s mother’s death was his greatest nightmare. Now he only had his


    father and if he didn’t bother about what had happened, how was he going to face the others?


    Amber was lost as she looked at Jack’s determination.


    In the end, she could only smile bitterly, “Such is your character. Once you decided on something you’ll


    never change your mind. Since you’ve decided, then go ahead.”


    “Thanks,” Jack said gratefully.


    “But you muste back safely!” Amber said sternly, “You must remember that you not only have a


    father, you also have a wife.”


    “Understood!” Jack smiled, “Not only do I have a wife, but I will also have sons and daughters in the


    future.”


    Amber blushed and rolled her eyes, “Behave yourself.”


    “I’ll make the necessary arrangements.” Mr. Ward saw that the decision was made and turned to leave.


    At three o’clock in the afternoon.


    At the suburb airport, a private jet took off ahead of all the other aircraft.


    Jack started to be unsettled as he sat and looked outside the aircraft. Although he had decided to


    go, he remained nervous to make the trip to the Hughes residence. This was his first time going to the


    Hughes residence! He was going to the family that he had been fighting with his life for!


    The Hughes family was at the top of the pyramid and superior to all. To the Hughes family, all wealthy


    families were insignificant as ants. Even a tycoon like Steve Knight was ignored even when he spent


    years trying to get a visit to the family.


    Now it was the first time and he had a good reason for going into the Hughes residence.


    “Master, are you nervous?” Mr. Ward asked.


    Jack brought Mr. Ward, Brent, and Daisy for the trip. This was the team he needed. For this journey, he


    needed the quality of the people and not the quantity. If he brought too many people with him, it would


    give the Hughes family and Madam Hughes the reason to make things difficult for him. Furthermore, if


    the Hughes family intended to harm him, would it matter if he had brought more people?


    “Nervous!” Jack said honestly and rubbed his nose.


    “Master shouldn’t be too concerned. Things should be fine with Mr. Ward and me with you.” Brent said


    with confidence.


    Jack was not concerned but heughed, “I was just thinking if should I step into the Hughes residence


    with my right foot or left foot first?”


    What Jack said left Mr. Ward, Brent, and Daisy speechless.
