Winner Takes All

Bam!

It was followed by a scream.

Jack Hughes, who was standing straight, fell to the ground, curled up his body, held his head firmly with his hands, and wouldn't stop screaming.

The pain in his mind broke through his bones, and went directly to his soul.

As he recollected his memories, the pain immediately became severe.

This abrupt scene baffled Guy.

In spite of the weakness brought by the panic, he struggled to crawl to the side of Jack.

"Your Highness, are you alright? What happened?"

Faced with a worried question, Jack couldn't even respond at the moment.

"Ah! My head, it hurts..."

In a short amount of time, Jack was already sweating plentifully. His face was suffused deep red, and his facial features were distorted and contorted. Veins were bulged from his face because of the pain. He was breathing rapidly as if like pulling bellows.

His entire body was tremblingly shaking.

His scream echoed in this quiet house.

Guy was totally perplexed. He didn't know what happened to the man in front of him.

In this state of panic.

Guy was about to stand up, and asked help from the guards outside.

However, at this moment.

Something suddenly changed.

"Get away, get away from me!"

Jack pushed him with both his hands. His face was distortionary, and his eyes were blood-red.

The pain was like a thousand needles roiling his mind, and making him irrational at the moment.

Guy was caught off guard with a terrified look on his face. Bam! He was pushed into the air by Jack, and when falling down, his head hit the base stone of First Constellation of the Wolf. The blood flowed like the plum blossom bloomed.

As for Guy, he wasn't moving and unsure whether alive or dead.

"It hurts, it hurts..."

Jack fell to the ground, and was shaking. His eyes were blood-red, and veins were evident on his face. These made him look very horrifying at the moment.

It's as if he was going to a state of madness, and there wasn't much difference.

"Ah... Why, why?"

Followed by the memories, the pain in his mind increased, it drove Jack somehow insane.

While he was sweating plentifully, his hands kept on knocking his head.

The only sanity left in him made him want to imminently suppress his memories.

However, after the demonstration of all the martial arts legacy of the First Constellation of the Wolf, it had given him shock and doubts to the highest point.

At this moment, even if he wanted to suppress his memories, he was able to instinctively recollect them.

This was like a car driving in a highway, and then suddenly braking. Even though already started braking, inertia would continue to let the car move forward. Jack's instinct to recollect memories was just the same as "inertia".

Shortly, Jack's face turned pale, and his lips were cyanotic.

The pain in his bones was like tearing apart his head little by little.

It's so painful that he couldn't breathe.

No matter how Jack controlled his breathing, his chest intensely fluctuated. However, the air in his lungs was being rapidly compressed out.

The intense suffocation made him seemed to be drowned in water.

Hum!

Suddenly.

Both of Jack's eyes were suddenly wide open, and his eyeballs were bloodshot. However, the look in his eyes was filled with confusion.

In the moment of trance, time was like being slowed down.

Suddenly, something appeared in his blank mind.

It's like a blank paper where an ink dot suddenly appeared.

Moreover, the ink at this moment was zoomed in, and was getting larger and clearer.

Are these... past memories?

In the absentminded state, Jack had even forgotten the severe pain of his body, and also the intense suffocation as drowning.

Faster!

Closer!

In his mind, that little thing was rapidly being zoomed in, zoomed in...

Slowly, it became clear.

It was a person's figure.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The hazy figure was like from a thousand miles away, and as being magnified, it crossed the void and was now ahead of him.

Who was this?

At this moment, Jack felt that time was somehow frozen.

The surroundings were completely silent, as though it entered a strange state.

Thump, thump, thump...

He could hear the sound of the heart beating. This was the only sound he could only hear at this state.

In his mind, the figure quickly came closer.

However, Jack still felt that it was slow.

Faster!

Go faster!

Jack shouted loudly in his heart. As the figure got closer, his consciousness slowly became unclear.

This was the race of time!

And time was frozen at this moment.

The figure was quickly magnified, and immediately became clear.

However, compared to the speed of Jack's consciousness becoming blurry, it was slower than it!

Anxiously, Jack finally saw the figure. Although he couldn't see the face clearly, he could recognize that it was a woman based from the silhouette.

Who was it?

Who really was it?

Jack kept on screaming from the inside. This time, he was in the state of insanity.

The silhouette immediately became clear.

Just that when Jack was about to have a glimpse of the face.

Boom!

The door of the room was suddenly pushed open.

This loud sound was just like thunder.

It made Jack trembled. His precarious consciousness was like a flood discharge.

He didn't get the chance to see clearly the appearance, and Jack closed both his eyes, and then fainted.

As he fainted, he mumbled, "Amber..."

This sound was very subtle.

Even the guards who pushed the door to come inside didn't hear it.

His recollection of that moment could be described as a very long time, but in fact, it was just brief moment.

"What happened?"

When the two guards came in and saw the scene, they were shocked.

Especially the place where Guy fell down, a large amount of blood was spilled from his head. This made the air filled with the smell of blood.

Stunned for two seconds, the two guards ran separately to Jack and Guy.

"What happened here? They came in for Constellation of the Wolf, how did it become like this?"

The guard sighed, and quickly came to check on Jack's injuries.

After Jack fainted, the recollection came to an end. His severe pain also disappeared. Although his face was still pale and lips were cyanotic, his breathing slowly stabilized.

After confirming Jack was fine, the guard sighed out a relief.

However, he was not finished exhaling when his associate panicked, and spoke in a trembling voice.

"Dead, dead. Mr. Wilson... is dead!"

Boom!

The low, trembling voice, at this moment, was like a thunder roaring in this back room.

"Quick, report it immediately, we can't deal with this matter!"

The guard checking on Jack's injuries was terrified, and said, "One came in and became an upstart of the Wolf House in one day. Another is Wolf House's old man, who is also a strategist. This matter should be immediately reported to the King, or else if accused of this, don't just say you and me staying in the Wolf House, maybe... maybe we will be blamed for this crime!"

The guard who squatted beside Guy was about to say something, but he swallowed it back.

Both of them were the guards of this back room, and their roles were important. They even sometimes sneaked into the back room for the benefits of the Constellation of the Wolf, but whether they got it or not, depends on their own. If they weren't good enough, then even looking at it many times was still useless. That's why the King of Hun didn't stop them of this benefit.

However, no matter how important their jobs were, they couldn't be compared to someone who had the ability to enter the Wolf House in one day and a standalone strategist. They couldn't endure the consequences of these tragic events!000000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
