Winner Takes All novel Chapter 712

“The bad news!”

Jack said without any hesitation.

“Sure, I feel the same too.”

The mysterious person nodded, “Listening to the bad news first so it wouldn’t affect your good mood from the good news, right?”

Jack smiled bitterly, “Do you think anything can affect my mood now?”

“No.”

The mysterious man shrugged. After a pause, he said, “The bad news is Jenny went back to Kool family.”

“Oh, this doesn’t count as bad news. Regardless of her whereabouts, it won't affect my plan of destroying the Kool family, or the Kool family be crushed in the end.”

Jack said coldly, and his tone was filled with indifference.

The mysterious person widened his eyes and shrugged, “The good news is, the master of the Kool family died.”

As he said, he pointed to the direction of the mountain, “I found his corpse on a tiny road there. His body had already turned cold and he seemed to be in peace. He probably died without any pain.”

Jack raised his brows and looked at the man, “You killed the person and you said that he left peacefully. That sounds weird.”

“I’m guessing that he died in peace because he didn’t reveal anything about you to Jenny.”

The mysterious man rubbed his chin and said suspiciously, “Judging from how Jenny brought Katherine to the house, she probably didn’t know about how Kool family is targeting you. She might not even know about Katherine’s evil intentions.”

Jack frowned as he recalled the few times he had met Jenny.

To Jack, Jenny was an innocent and unique girl. She had quite a careless personality too.

If she had known the truth, then they probably wouldn’t have met.

“That’s true. She probably doesn’t know it.”

Jack breathed out and squinted his eyes as he smirked, “But she is from the Kool family after all. None of them can be innocent after all the things that had happened.”

His gaze was cold and sharp like it could pierce through one’s bone.

It even made the mysterious person froze for a moment. The chilly aura from Jack was scaring him a little.

“You are really doing this, aren’t you?” The man asked deeply.

Jack’s eyes had no warmth in them, “Don’t advise others to be kind if you haven’t suffered through their pain, that’s just being busybody! For this matter about my wife and my kid, I had to choose whether to save Amber or our child at the last moment.”

“For a grudge as such, if I don’t fight till the end, am I even a good husband? Can I be a good father? I won’t be able to face my unborn child!”

His words were as sharp as a knife.

When he was talking, a hint of madness appeared on Jack’s cold face.

The mysterious man took a step back subconsciously and sucked in a deep breath.

“Although the matter may be able to be concealed for the time being, but from a more rational point of view, I would still like to advise you. You can fight till the end with Kool family, but you can put it on hold for a while too.”

He then slowly took out a cigar and put it in his mouth, but his right hand which was holding onto the lighter trembled a little under Jack’s gaze. After a moment, then only he was able to light up the cigar, “Kool family is not as simple as you think they are. This is too complicated, and it involves too many parties. A grudge doesn’t just appear out of the blue.”

“Hah!”

Jack snickered, “I only care about the revenge. Who cares about the consequences? My child…is still looking at me from heaven.”

His harsh voice was like an oath that echoed on the balcony!

In that instant, the wind in the autumn night blew stronger, and it was even piercingly cold.

The mysterious man let out a puff of smoke and sucked in another one. Then, he turned and left, “Oh right, do look at the Tao Te Ching I got Mr. Ward to pass to you. It will help you a lot. Especially the Tao Te Ching.”

Jack stared at his leaving figure.

Jack was stunned for a moment as he did not receive any Tao Te Ching from Mr. Ward.

Under the dark sky.

The dim light shone over Jack, stretching his shadow.

Jack sneered and slowly turned his wheelchair around as he stared into the night in the distance. He then muttered, “How can one pray when devil is in his heart?”

“God is merciful, but he didn’t bless my wife and child. Why should I recite the Tao Te Ching and forget all the hatred?”

A long while later.

Jack’s emotions slowly calmed down as he turned his wheelchair and went down the stairs.

Mr. Ward was still awake.

When Jack returned to the second floor, he saw that Mr. Ward was hovering in front of his bedroom door with a package in his hand.

“Young Master, the mysterious person wants me to pass this to you.”

Mr. Ward went forward. He had been hesitating if he should pass the package over to Jack in the evening.

After all, when he knew the mysterious man’s so-called method in the evening, he found it unbelievable. It can do nothing but comfort oneself only.

However, there was a devil in Jack’s heart, so this was better than nothing.

“The Tao Te Ching?” Jack asked.

“Yes.” Mr. Ward nodded.

Jack smiled and took the package from Mr. Ward. He picked one Tao Te Ching up among the many others and gave the rest back to Mr. Ward.

“One is enough for me.”

“Young Master, the mysterious man gave this to you. I think that you can keep all of it and read them when you have time.”

Mr. Ward was anxious. He didn’t tell Jack about his devilish thoughts but only tried to persuade him.

“It’s fine.”

Jack waved his hand and put the Tao Te Ching on his lap as he wheeled himself into his room. When he was about to enter, he stopped, “The first chapter I particularly like from the Tao Te Ching, ‘Truth can be known, but it may not be the truth you know’, and I’ll tell you that I have my own disciplines of doing things. Even if it’s extreme, I will still go forward!”

Bang!

The door was shut.

Mr. Ward stood at the corridor, rooted to his spot and his gaze wondered.

‘Truth can be known, but it may not be the truth you know’

Mr. Ward mumbled Jack’s words from earlier. It was obvious that there was a hidden meaning in his words.

Mr. Ward thought to himself, “What will the Young Master do?”

He then looked down at the other copies of Tao Te Ching in his hands.

Helplessness and worry filled his mind.

Tao Te Chings were able to nurture a person’s good nature, and Mr. Ward assumed that this was probably why the man gave these to Jack.

A person’s perception depended on their character. If they were calm, their moods wouldn’t be affected much.

“Let him be with his decisions.”

The mysterious man’s hoarse voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Mr. Ward was surprised and turned around, “When did you come?”

“I am always here.”

The man slowly walked to Mr. Ward’s side, but his gaze was fixed on Jack’s tightly shut bedroom door. He said slowly, “It is getting harder to read this guy.”
