Chapter 590 The Emperor’s Duty Is To Worry For You


    Jack smiled gently.


    Gilbert then asked solemnly, “Might I be so bold as to ask Mr. Hughes, your purpose foring over in


    secrecy?”


    “I’m here to seek your assistance,” Jack said.


    Gilbert’s expression changed drastically, stood up and said respectfully, “Please state what you need.”

    Everyone in the Hunter family thought that it was Gilbert’s efforts that took the family to their current


    status but only Gilbert knew that it was all due to Patrick’s support for him. It was clear to him and even


    after Jeweline became the head of the family, that they had to repay their debts to Patrick and now


    Jack.


    A puppet would always be a puppet. How would he dare to have his master request anything of him?


    Jack smiled as he signaled for Gilbert to take a seat. He then spoke solemnly, “I came today to request


    that you help me approach the dark assassin squad to issue an order to kill someone.”


    “Who?” Gilbert was startled.


    As the head of the Hunter family which was valued at tens of billions, he had some understanding of


    the dark assassin squad. But for Jack to go through him to have the dark assassin squad issue


    the kill order, that meant that the target was a prominent figure!


    Jack rubbed his nose and wheeled himself towards Gilbert. He leaned towards Gilbert and whispered.


    Kaboom!


    Gilbert was stunned and his face turned pale with his eyes and mouth wide open.


    “Mr. Hughes… this, this… is a death sentence!” Gilbert was unable to control himself due to the shock.


    The Hughes family was high and mighty and controlled immense wealth. With such status, each one of


    them was society elites and if any one of them was hurt by outsiders, the Hughes family would not sit


    idly by. Not to mention… that the subject was a potential heir!


    With such a status, it would definitely incur the boundless wrath of the Hughes family!


    “Why should you be afraid when I’m not?” Jack raised his eyebrows and scoffed, “The dark


    assassin squad would be able to protect your identity. You need not worry.”


    Gilbert frowned tightly and he could not hide his horror. Though Jack spoke lightly of it, Gilbert knew the


    danger and terror of the consequences.


    It was so silent in the study that one could hear a pin drop. The air was thick and tensed.


    Jack did not push the matter and simply sipped tea. When Jack decided to kill George, even Mr. Ward


    hesitated, what more Gilbert.


    It was like trying to extract a tiger’s tooth. Any mistake and the person would end up being devoured by


    the tiger.


    George started to instigate trouble when the Powell family went to the Hughes family. At that point,


    Jack already decided that George’s days were numbered.


    Jack would hesitate when it came to the innocents. But when it came to his enemies, particrly


    someone who repeatedly tried to kill him, then he must be decisive. If he didn’t even dare to kill his


    enemies and treat his enemies withpassion, then he would be his own greatest enemy.


    “Huff…” Gilbert exhaled just as Jack was about to finish his cup of tea. At this point, he looked


    determined and without the indecisiveness he had disyed a moment ago.


    With a smile, Gilbert nodded and assured, “The Hunter family will carry out your wishes.”


    “Great, issue it tonight.” Jack nodded and was very pleased with Gilbert’s attitude. Gilbert no longer


    hesitated and firmly agreed.


    After a pause, Gilbert tried to change the subject, smiled, and said, “I’ve already ordered our residential


    chef to prepare a banquet. I hope that Mr. Hughes will ept my invitation to stay at my residence


    tonight.”


    If these humble words were leaked out, it would ignite the entire social circle. How could the high and


    mighty Hunter family be reduced to such a lowly level? In the North, countless people seek to visit the


    Hunter residence and spend a night there. But now, it was the Hunter family who requested someone


    to stay!


    “Okay.” Jack did not refuse and agreed.


    Since the matter had been decided, then there was nothing else to discuss. If Gilbert could be groomed


    by his father, then Jack could believe in his abilities. Jack, Mr. Ward, and Brent were led to their


    respective rooms after leaving the study.


    After Jack left, Gilbert became mncholy and solemn. Jeweline noticed Gilbert’s expression as he


    entered the study. He closed the door and then asked curiously, “Dad, what did Jack talk to you


    about?”


    Gilbert looked at Jeweline and he was most concerned about Jeweline’s ability to keep a secret. If


    anything of it was to leak out, then it would bring forth the devastation of the Hunter family.


    Gilbert took a deep breath and said, “Be his spear!”


    “Spear?” Jeweline was stunned, “I’m sure Jack didn’t need us to be his spear.”


    “What the hell do you know? How many people would die to be his spear and but couldn’t? Go and


    keep Jackpany.”


    Gilbert chased Jeweline away. He sat as he pondered with worry and helplessness.


    Although Jack said that he wasn’t afraid. If Jack really was not afraid, then why would he ask for the


    Hunter family’s help? Even if the dark assassin squad could protect the identity of the customer, it


    would somehow be found out through investigation, especially when the intended target was the


    potential heir of the Hughes family.


    Even if the risk was a one in a thousand, the Hunter family was now shouldering this risk for Jack.


    “It’s time for me to repay the hand that fed me…” Gilbert heaved a sigh.


    On the other end.


    Jack rejected the arrangement of one to a room and decided that three of them would share a room.


    He was still a cripple to outsiders and it would be a hassle if he needed any help.


    “Master, that Jeweshine was acting strange,” Brent said after the Hunter family servants left the room.


    “I thought that I was the only one who felt that.” Jack rubbed his nose and grinned. Mr. Ward’s


    expression darkened as he was chatting with Gilbert and didn’t notice.


    Brent said proudly, “At least I’m a warrior who crawled from a pile of dead bodies. I am very clear of the


    difference between anger and desire to kill.”


    Jack nodded as that was why he kept staring at Jeweshine. He then raised his hand and pointed


    towards the door and said, “Jeweline wille soon, ask him about it.”


    Just as he said, someone knocked on the door. Knock knock knock.


    “Jack, it’s me, Jeweline, can Ie in?” Jeweline asked.


    Brent went to open the door and Jeweline smiled happily as he walked in. But his smile waned when


    he looked at Jack’s legs. He noticed it when Jack exited the airport but he didn’t dare to ask as Jack


    looked very stern.


    It wasn’t until now that he asked, “Jack, your legs…”


    Jack smiled, “It’s alright, it was just an ident. It was a miracle that I lived.”


    Jeweline’s expression changed drastically and his eyes turned red immediately, “Will you be able to


    stand again?”


    Jack simply smiled but didn’t answer. To Jeweline, Jack was just trying to put up a brave front.


    “Jeweline, what’s the matter with that Jeweshine?” Jack changed the subject.
