The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine)

Chapter 324 Requests That You Die

Jack’s eyes lit up and he looked at the right side of the main door. The main doors of the Bamboo

Grove were the ancient styled double wooden doors. It was unknown when someone carved a

sentence across the door.

The bamboo grove was the most luxurious courtyard of the Four Impressions Club. Normally it would

be immaculately maintained and it was impossible that these words were carved on the door without

anyone noticing.

The message wrote: Ranked 18th on the Azrael List, Kotaro. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

On closer inspection, Jack felt that the words seemed familiar. Suddenly there was a loud boom in his

head.

Mengpo! Just now Mengpo was outside the door and carved the words?

“Master, come with us!” The protective guards tugged on Jack when they saw him in a daze.

Jack came to his senses and followed the guards out of the courtyard and ran towards another part of

the Bamboo grove. But at this moment, his mind was racing with thoughts.

A killer ranked 18th on the Azrael list. No wonder Lone Wolf and many others were unable to stop him!

An elite killer would find a way to reach him even if he was under tight protection. Just as Brent and two

other killers who assassinated Rothschild.

But what puzzled him was, why did Mengpo carve those words to remind him? What was the purpose

of that?

Was this proud woman keeping her pride even at this moment?

Was she reminding Jack and help him avoid the assassination so that she could eventually fight him?

Jack was in a daze but he moved quickly and he started to understand why Mengpo shot that arrow. If

she meant to kill him, it would be almost impossible to avoid it. Come to think of it, that arrow felt more

like a warning!

When he thought about it, Jack suddenly was amused by the irony of the situation. Lone Wolf and

dozens of elite protection guards along with all the guards at the Four Impressions Club could not

protect Jack. In the end, it was an assassin who came to kill him that gave him the warning?

Rustle…

The night breeze blew and the bamboo leaves in the courtyard rustled and fell in the wind. The

surroundings became chilling. Their footsteps rustled as they stepped on the bamboo leaves.

The gunshots gradually diminished behind them.

“Master, it appears that it had been resolved!” The guard beside him smiled when he heard the

gunshots tapering off.

Suddenly, thud!

In the darkness, a glint flashed by. The expression of the guard beside him froze and then collapsed

onto the ground.

“Alert!” The remaining seven guards surrounded Jack and protected him all around.

Jack was stunned and looked at the guard in front of him. Fresh blood poured from his mouth. The

guard fell onto the ground with a thud. Jack’s pupil constricted and a chill ran down his spine. He saw a

ninja shuriken embedded into the spine of the guard. It was so deep that it exposed the spine!

Jack felt cold and was terrified. The night breeze blew and Jack shuddered from the chill. He narrowed

his eyes and looked at the surroundings in fear. But apart from the rustling of the bamboo leaves, there

weren’t other movements.

And now, the gunshots at the Bamboo Grove had suddenly stopped. The tensed atmosphere was like

a big hand holding onto their necks and strangling them. In the silence, Jack’s back began to be

drenched with cold sweat.

The seven protection guards were gripped with fear and were perspiring profusely. If it wasn’t for their

professional background, it would be difficult for them to control their fear.

Rustle…

The bamboo leaves started to drift down.

Jack unconsciously looked up and narrowed his eyes. He looked beyond the falling bamboo leaves

and then saw a black figure dashing past.

“On top!” Jack yelled.

Almost at the same time, the black figure traversed a curved path and towards the direction of their

escape.

“Come with me!” One of the guards raged, drew his pistol, and dashed with three other guards. The

remaining three guards retreated with Jack sandwiched between them.

“Come back!” Jack yelled.

Through Brent and Mengpo, Jack could appreciate the prowess of these elite assassins. Not to

mention that this black figure was No. 18 on the Azrael list. Though the protection guards sent by his

father were all brave and extremely capable, they still could not match the skills of the top killers.

Then.

Bang bang bang… The four guards fired at the same time. The bullets hit the dark figure nestled on the

bamboos.

“We got him!” The guards yelled in excitement.

“Not possible, it can’t be so easy. Come back!” Jack yelled as his hairs stood on ends.

Just at this moment, the four guards stopped and then yelled out in surprise, “It’s not him, it’s a paper

decoy!”

Almost at the same moment, Jack saw a black figure descending from above. A bright light streaked

across the sky. The glare caused him to squint his eyes. In a flash, the image danced with a long sword

with its corresponding shadows. Four sounds of the sword slicing through flesh were heard.

It was as if everything happened within a second.

The black image dashed through the four guards like a ghost and then stood in the middle of them with

the sword.

Gush!

Almost at the same moment, four streams of blood squirted from the back of their necks. The four of

them fell to the ground at the same time. This was a terrifying sight! Who could have imagined that

those scenes in the movies would happen in real life!

Jack was furious and his eyes narrowed to a slit. He was ready to fight. He could clearly feel the three

guards beside him tremble with fear. That primal fear when erupted, could not be suppressed

regardless of how much training or experience the person had. It was a devilish scene and who

wouldn’t be terrified by it?

At this moment, a raspy and strange sound came from the man with the sword, “Kotaro, requests that

you die.” It was a simple sentence but filled with chilling demands.

The overbearing self-confidence added to the terrifying nature of this confrontation. It was like a

demand for one’s death. The four corpses of the guards emphasized the seriousness of his words.

“Master, leave!” Suddenly the guards beside him yelled.

Jack’s expression changed drastically and his heart sank. It was the same feeling! It was a feeling that

he hated to death!

“Come, let’s leave together! We’ll retreat, there’s hope!” Jack wasn’t ready to give up.

“We are willing to die for the Hughes family!” The three guards said in unison and rushed towards

Kotaro.

“Come back!” Jack’s eyes turned red and instinctively tried to grab the closest guard to him. But the

three of them were very fast and he wasn’t quick enough to grab any of them.

They drew their pistols as they dashed out.

“Ah!” Kotaro laughed with disdain.

Slash slash slash…

In the dark of the night, an image flashed around like a laser in front of the three guards. As if being

dismembered, slashes appeared on the three guards and fresh blood gushed and splattered all over.

“Fish scale line?!” Jack suddenly realized that Kotaro was the one who set up the booby trap outside

his villa.

The air whistled in the blink of an eye.

The three guards collapsed to the ground in their pool of blood. They didn’t even have the time to draw

their pistols.

A cold voice emerged from the bamboo outgrowth, “Kotaro requests that you die.”
