Chapter 240 The Only Way To Leave Black Hell
Brent?!
Jack was completely dumbfounded.
In that moment, he felt as if the whole prison area fell into a dead silence.
All the screaming, hooting and catcalling noises abruptly disappeared.
Still shocked, Jack watched Demeter leaving the platform in awe.
He actually had a feeling about this when he saw Demeter’s fighting style just a while ago.
But he still felt a sense of trance when Demeter confirmed his hypothesis.
It was Brent who got out of Black Hell ten years ago?
What was his relationship with Demeter?
Why did Demeter’s martial arts resemble Brent’s?
And it was in fact more powerful than the one Jack learned from Brent.
Layers and layers of confusion clouded Jack’s mind.
Then suddenly, Demeter’s voice sounded.
“Oh, it’s the first day of the month today!”
Boom!
As if a thunder, this remark struck Jack out of his confused trance state.
It was the first day of the month?!
There were 14 days left until the 15th?
At this moment, he felt so agitated he couldn’t breathe.
There were only 14 days left until his marriage with Amber!
The guy from the Jour family was by Amber’s side right now while he was trapped in the Black Hell!
Amber would be marrying that guy instead of him if he didn’t manage to make it back by 15th.
If that happened, that guy would be replacing him for good!
Jack’s heart crushed in as if pressed by something very heavy. An extreme grim aura encompassed
him.
No, he had to go back!
He must go back!
But in just 14 days…
Jack felt more despair the more he thought about it.
At this moment, he felt the whole world was spinning around, everything around him was rackety and
buzzing hard into his ears.
Images of Amber, his mother and Brent flashed across his mind.
“No, I won’t let that happen. I will marry Amber. I will take care of my mom until her last breath. I am
Jack Hughes, who will not be replaced by anyone!”
“Ah!”
Abruptly, Jack lifted his head and roared.
It sounded like a beast.
And it immediately overwhelmed the scene.
All the prisoners looked at Jack in shock.
In that moment, every single one of them could clearly sense the killing intention from Jack.
It sent chills running down their back.
Unhurriedly, Demeter turned around and stared at Jack.
The corner of his lips curled up into a smirk.
“Tell me, how long did it take for Brent to get out of here?”
With a hoarse voice, Jack sounded like an angry beast.
“One year.”
Demeter told him the answer calmly. And Jack felt as if pushed into the abyss by an invisible force.
It took even Brent a full year.
And he had only 14 days left!
No, the time he had was actually shorter considering the time he needed to travel there from the Black
Hell.
10 days?
Then he thought of the fact Amber was about to get married to someone else.
Jack became resolute like never before. With a passionate spirit, his eyes were shooting daggers.
“All right! I will surpass Brent and get out of this damn place!”
“Pfft!”
Demeter gave out a chuckle and turned around to leave.
While he left, he waved his hand in the air, “There’s only one way to get out of Black Hell. Even Brent
took one year to accomplish it. You will take longer than that!”
Jack was stunned.
And then exhilarated.
Demeter’s remark was indeed dismayful. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
But he heard a keyword in it.
There was a way to get out of Black Hell!
This was not a place where there was no turning back!
Even though the way out might be extremely difficult.
But it was better than a complete despair.
The “sentry” time was soon over.
All prisoners returned to their cells.
With a cold expression, Jack got back to his cell and sat on his bed with his legs folded.
His bed was just a thin bed sheet laid on the icy cold stone platform.
It could only bring some imperceptible warmth in this abandoned place where everything was frozen.
Nashatov and the other four cellmates gathered near the doorway of their cell, trying to stay away from
Jack.
Anyone sophisticated enough in martial arts would’ve understood what was really going on with the
fight between Jack and Demeter a while ago.
However, Jack was undeniably strong.
To say the least, he was at the level where no one in this cell could match up with.
In this environment where the law of the jungle rules, people became animals who bowed to those
stronger than themselves.
“Nashatov.”
Jack suddenly opened his closed eyes.
His sharp gaze sent shivers down Nashatov’s body. Nashatov was scared.
Nashatov looked at him in fidgety. “Yes? Anything, Mr. Hughes?”
“Mr. Hughes” was the way they addressed him as a sign of respect.
“Come here,” Jack said.
A hint of horror flashed in Nashatov’s eyes. Nonetheless, he walked up to Jack obediently.
He was crippling as he hadn’t yet recovered from the injuries Jack gave him. The corner of his lip
twitched out of the pain.
“Mr. Hughes.”
Nashatov stood in front of Jack deferentially.
Jack asked, “What is the way to get out of Black Hell?”
Boom!
Nashatov felt as if struck by a thunder.
So as the other four prisoners at the cell’s doorway.
“Mr. Hughes, one will definitely die trying to get out of Black Hell. Because no one can make it!”
Nashatov reminded hurriedly, “I’ll advise Mr. Hughes to stop thinking about this. We can at least stay
alive in the Black Hell.”
“I’m asking you, how to get out of Black Hell?!”
Jack’s voice was stone cold and menacing.
If there was a way, he would do anything he could to make it happen.
If Brent could make it out of Black Hell, he could do it too!
Even if it was an off chance, he would have to fight for it for the sake of Amber and his mother!
Nashatov’s expression turned dead pale at this moment.
Struggling in hesitation under Jack’s glare, he left out a sigh in the end.
“Mr. Hughes, there are a total of 10 prison areas in Black Hell.”
Gradually, Nashatov’s gaze turned deep and he said slowly, “There’s an Alpha Wolf in every prison
area, and they are the strongest, most prestigious and supported king in their respective units.”
With that said, Nashatov took a pause.
“Continue,” Jack said coldly.
“To leave Black Hell, one has to fight every Alpha Wolf in a deathmatch. Ten prison areas, which
means ten deathmatchs. One can only step out of Black Hell after winning all the deathmatchs,
receiving acknowledgement and respect from all ten Alpha Wolves.”
There was a dead silence in the cell.
After finish explaining, Nashatov stared at Jack, observing his expression changes.
Jack’s cool stern face turned dead grim at this moment. He lowered his head in contemplation.
Ten alphas from each prison area, ten deathmatchs.
And he had to win every single one of them!
No wonder Demeter remarked it would take him longer than Brent to get out of here.
After fighting seventeen battles in the past three days, Jack was clearly aware of the strength of
prisoners in this prison.
It would be extremely risky and hazardous trying to win a fight against an Alpha Wolf.
It was simply impossible to leave any one of those battles unscathed.
It took Brent one year, which meant he had enough time to recover between matches.
But he only had 14 days. No, actually just 10 days!
In other words, he would have to fight incessantly. His injuries were going to stack along every match
and made it more and more hazardous.
After all, there wouldn’t be enough time for him to recover even if he only took one battle per day.
Nashatov saw Jack’s gloomy expression.
He tried sincerely to talk some sense into him, “Mr. Hughes, this is not a way to leave Black Hell but a
suicide mission. There are dozens of reckless fighters challenging the ten Alpha Wolves every single
year, and all of them ended up turning into frozen corpses, so…”
“All right, I’ll do it.”
Jack suddenly said.
Nashatov was taken aback. He thought he just misheard him, “Mr. Hughes, what… what did you say?”
Jack stood up from his bed with a smirk flashed on his face. “I said, I’ll do the deathmatchs!”
