The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine)

Chapter 833 Saved

“Fuck you!” Napoleon stood on the branch and raised his right hand and flipped her the bird and said,

“For ten years I tried to master the Mount the Dragon and now thanks to you, you managed to force it

out of me!”

“You…” Wuchang shuddered as her face turned blue. She looked ferociously at Napoleon as if she was

about to devour him.

“Bye bye you bitch, I will save that woman called Amber!” Napoleon did not want to remain a moment

longer. He was lucky to be able to utilize the Mount the Dragon skill all thanks to his master.

If he was foolish enough to stay and argue with Wuchang, he would possibly die ten times over.

‘Sometimes one could be killed for saying too much.’ Napoleon thought!

After saying, Napoleon jumped from one tree branch to the other tree. As he jumped from tree to tree,

he felt light as a bird. Anyone would be filled with awe to see what he was doing. The branches bend

and flexed as Napoleon jumped from one and landed on another. In so doing, he was able to move

much faster than if he were to run.

He managed to vanish within the foliage in a few blinks of the eye. In contrast, Wuchang stood still as

she looked on in disbelief. Though she was eager to kill Napoleon, at least she was able to control her

urges and not do anything impulsive. She frowned as she looked in the direction of where Napoleon

went.

Wuchang narrowed her eyes and mumbled to herself, “For both ‘Deboning Move’ and Mount the

Dragon skills to be mastered by one person, this chap must be the descendant of Chillfond Hermes.

Could it be… Gang of Eight?”

The so-called “Theft Gang” should not be any tom, dick or harry.

Thieves were honorable in ancient times. They stole from the rich to give to the poor. They even help

those who were in danger at the frontiers. There was a huge difference between the honorable thieves

and those shameless robbers.

From the onset, Wuchang had regarded Napoleon to be a shameless thief. But then Napoleon

managed to shock her twice in a row.

She took a deep breath and turned to leave.

Back at the villa.

Wuchang’s heart sank when she saw the curtains draped over the window ledge. She quickly rushed

towards the villa and saw that the door was opened.

The mysterious man was standing at the door and said ruthlessly with a raspy voice, “You’re too Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

careless. If I didn’t get here in time, our plans would have been exposed.”

“I’m sorry!” The vicious Wuchang lowered her head in submission when she saw the mysterious man.

“That person is upstairs. Where is the person who you were chasing?” The mysterious man asked.

“That two-bid thief managed to escape.” Wuchang replied.

“Escape?” The mysterious man was furious and demanded, “What were you thinking? You can’t even

silence a thief? Now that he had escaped, what would the consequences be?”

“But… but he is not a regular thief.” Wuchang started to fluster and explained, “He… he knows the

‘Deboning Move’ and Mount the Dragon skills. He must be the descendant of Chillfond Herrmes.”

“What?!” The mysterious man remarked and suddenly he calmed down.

“This must be an issue that lasted for thirty years.” The mysterious man stared at Wuchang and then

scoffed, “No wonder you let him go.”

Thud! Wuchang suddenly knelt and then cupped her fists and apologized, “Please forgive me, I was

stunned when that rascal suddenly used that Mount the Dragon skill to escape.”

“Forget it. Since he is the descendant of Chillfond Herrmes, then let him be. Let’s just hope that our

plan would not be exposed so quickly and allow us to continue with our actions.” The mysterious man

said solemnly as he waved his hand but then scoffed doubtfully, “Don’t you think it’s strange for this

descendant of Chillfond Herrmes, who mastered the art of ‘Deboning Move’ and Mount the Dragon, to

behave like a 2-bid thief. If Chillfond were to know this, would he turn in his grave?”

Wuchang frowned tightly and was at a loss for words.

…

Inside the dense forest.

Rustle… rustle… The tree leaves shook noisily.

Then, a figure jumped swiftly from tree to tree like a monkey. Then, Napoleon jumped onto a branch,

slipped, and lost his balance. He tumbled to the ground with a thud at the edge of the forest next to the

villas.

“Persist, you must persist. Napoleon, in these twenty years, what kind of fight haven’t you

experienced? Now you can certainly prevail over this.”

“That girl Amber, is waiting for you to look for Jack Hughes to save her!”

“You went through so much to escape and even escaped from that bitch’s clutches. You’d better not fail

now…” Napoleon’s face was covered with blood and looked particularly pathetic. He vomited blood as

he struggled to his feet and kept pushing himself to go on.

He endured the pain from his broken fingers and the intense pain from other wounds on his body. He

was engulfed in intense pain and lost a lot of blood.

He was exhausted, started to black out and the surroundings started to spin. He struggled several

times and then collapsed to the ground with a thud. He could not get back onto his feet.

“Damn it… looks like this is it.” Napoleon started to grin. All his energy seemed to drain away rapidly. In

the end, Napoleon simply laid on the ground, close his eyes and fainted.

The surroundings were quiet while the night breeze was bone chilling and rustled the tree leaves.

About ten minutes later, a car drove along the road towards Napoleon. The bright headlights lit up the

area ahead of the car.

Screech! The car stopped a couple of meters from where Napoleon was.

…

It was a quiet night. It was bright outside the courtyard and all sorts of security devices were operating.

Lone wolf led many protective guards to guard the area around the courtyard.

All was quiet inside the dimly lit courtyard. It seemed peaceful in the courtyard thanks to Lone Wolf

whose men were patrolling outside.

Jack sat at the stone table and continued to read the Tao Te Ching. He could not sleep. The bloody trap

caused him to lose his appetite and sleep. His father’s indifference also pierced his heart and put a

lump in his throat…

“Master…” Mr. Ward took a jacket and walked to wards the wheelchair. He placed the jacket over

Jack’s shoulders and said, “It’s cold, why don’t you go in to rest.”

“I can’t sleep. How should we neutralize this bloody trap?” Jack continued to look at the Tao Te Ching

as he said to Mr. Ward.

Mr. Ward paused for a couple of seconds before answering, “I’ll brew some tea and keep you

company.”

“Okay.” Jack replied.

Mr. Ward served the freshly brewed tea and placed the cups carefully onto the stone table.

Mr. Ward maintained his silence as he looked at Jack who continued to read the Tao Te Ching.

After a moment,

Creak…

The mysterious man opened the courtyard door and walked in.

He was stunned when he saw that Mr. Ward and Jack were at the stone table. He then smiled and

walked towards the stone table, picked up the cup of tea and sipped it as he said, “Why aren’t both of

you asleep? Are you worried about the bloody trap?”

“Didn’t you go out?” Jack bantered and continued, “Of course I’m worried since they are trying to kill

me. Surely I wouldn’t be able to sleep under such conditions.”

The mysterious man chuckled, looked at the Tao Te Ching in Jack’s hands and said, “Didn’t you ask Mr.

Ward to prepare some Buddhists scriptures for you? Why aren’t you reading those?”

“I did, but I still prefer the Tao Te Ching that’s why I’m reading it more often. I will read the Buddhist

scriptures occasionally.” Jack said as he sipped the tea from the cup.
