Winner Takes All

After a few greetings, Director Lansing turned and left.

The mysterious man turned around and headed towards the ward.

His pace was slightly hurried and his pupils were a little constricted. It was at last.

He stood at the doorway and pushed the door open without any hesitation.

When the ward door was opened, the entire ward was in silence.

There was only the minor sound of various medical instruments.

On the hospital bed, Vinna and Yael were both unconscious.

The mysterious man walked towards the hospital bed and glanced at the heart rate monitor. After ensuring that there was no major change, he walked to the small table in front of the sofa and rummaged around. Finally, he found a small parcel in the crack underneath the sofa.

The parcel was very old like that sort of old-fashioned scented sachet, but it was unrefined which was just two pieces of blue cloth sewn together.

The mysterious man untied the knot on the parcel. He took the stuff out of the parcel and looked at it.

It was under the light.

A wooden insignia which was wrapped in cashmere around the edges was seen.

If Jack had seen it, he would definitely have been able to recognize immediately that the insignia was...the Coalition Order!

"If this thing was lost, there will be a big trouble."

The mysterious man shook his head. He turned his head and looked at Vinna on the hospital bed. With a hoarse voice, he said, "For the sake of you girl, I almost make a big trouble." He finished speaking.

The mysterious man turned around and left the ward.

Click!

The ward door was closed again and the ward once returned to dead silence.

Time passed by slowly.

It was about ten minutes later.

Vinna who was on the hospital bed suddenly fluttered her eyelashes and opened her eyes wide.

Although ten minutes had passed, still her teary eyes were filled with endless fear.

She had completely collapsed due to the overwhelming fear just now. She simply did not care to bother what was happening outside and worry about whether the mysterious man would return.

If it was not for the sudden voice by Director Lansing in the corridor outside just now, perhaps she would have been discovered by the mysterious man who came and left hurriedly. The final outcome...she did not dare to imagine at all.

Even though the mysterious man returned and left again, Vinna did not dare to open her eyes immediately, yet she waited for ten minutes before reopening her eyes. This was because she was uncertain of whether the mysterious man would return again.

She was just like walking a tightrope on a steep cliff. Even a slight mistake would probably cause her to fall off the cliff and smash into pieces, dead forever. Fear...as if the tide completely engulfed Vinna.

An intense sense of suffocation enveloped her in fear. Her red lips slightly expanded and she breathed in vigorously, but her lips still turned purple gradually. After suppressing her tears for a while, she burst into tears again at this moment.

She slowly turned her head and looked at the unconscious Yael on the next bed. She said with her pale lips trembling, "Yael...what, what...should I actually do?" She was at the peak of desperation and helplessness in this short period of time!

If Jack was at home, she might have had the courage to tell him about this incident directly.

However due to the Bloody Trap now, Jack had already headed to the Dragon Cavalry at the Northern Territory. This made Vinna unable to find somebody to rely on. Mr. Ward, Brent, Daisy...were all people that she was familiar with, and they were also close to Jack.

However, Vinna was very clear that only Jack could make a final decision!

If she simply told the secret to Mr. Ward and them, she would not be able to solve the problem completely. Instead, she would put herself and Mr. Ward all in danger. Yael who was sleeping soundly next to her bed was as if a fierce tiger.

The only person that could chase the fierce tiger away would be the master of Yael!

It was at the Thegiant City.

The sound of horns in the early morning broke the dark silence of the dawn.

On the military ground.

The crowd was surging once again.

The early morning training every day was the most important part of the Dragon Cavalry. This was the foundation to maintain the armies' strength of the Dragon Cavalry.

All the formations were different, but the armies were all training with enthusiasm without exception.

Jack and Achilles walked side by side to the military ground.

Jack lifted his eyes and glanced at Debut, Cole and Yarol who were training in their formation.

"Debut and the others have completely adapted to the environment."

Jack smiled slightly. Debut, Cole and Yarol's physiques were still considered in the rank of new recruits in the Dragon Cavalry. Even though Debut's physique was fit, he still could not wield the Dragon Cavalry Sword freely for the time being.

That was why Achilles had focused on getting Debut and three of them to strengthen their physiques from the beginning.

Achilles nodded his head, "Among three of them, Debut will probably be able to use the Dragon Cavalry Sword successfully and learn the swordmanship of the Dragon Cavalry Sword if he keeps training. Both Cole and Yarol...lack a bit of talent."

Jack understood and did not retort.

The talent mentioned by Achilles was referring to the physical fitness of Cole and Yarol.

There were many kinds of talents, some were all-rounded in every aspect, some were exceptionally good at a particular aspect.

Just like a person's intelligence, a person's physical fitness actually depended on talent too.

For those who were gifted, they just needed to put in a little hard work to gain a strong physique.

For those who were not gifted, their rewards were limited even though they put in a lot of effort.

There was an obvious difference between twice the work for half the result and half the work but twice the result.

"Cole is good at scouting while Yarol is proficient in weapons. These are already their specialities. Even their physiques are not strong enough to wield the Dragon Cavalry Sword, but aren't there many people in the Dragon Cavalry who also can't use the Dragon Cavalry Sword?"

Jack rubbed his nose and chuckled.

Achilles shook his head and said with a sober gaze, "They're all my brothers and I have led them by my own. I definitely hope they can become stronger and learn the swordmanship to use the Dragon Cavalry Sword. So, they will have an additional skill to save their lives on the battlefield and have a better chance of surviving."

Jack smiled noncommittally.

The battlefield was cruel and perhaps the killing opportunity silently came in a flash.

Even with the terrifying combat strength of the Dragon Cavalry, it would still be difficult to recruit a new army within a week or even less period of time.

"Huh?!"

Suddenly, a startled voice from Achilles sounded in his ears.

Jack lifted his eyes and saw Achilles frowning in confusion while looking at one of the formations on the military ground.

He looked over there and saw the formation which was specialised to train fighting skills.

At this moment, the armies were fighting against one another and the scene was the most thriving in the entire military ground.

As compared to the other boring training formations, the training of fighting skills was indeed the actual battle between two armies.

"What is going on?"

Jack asked doubtfully.

"How does he come back?"

Achilles raised his hand and pointed at the formation, "Shawn."Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Jack looked at the formation of the fighting skills in shock and found out Shawn quickly in the crowd.

At this moment, Shawn looked flushed. Even in the combat, he still showed his boldness and his body was steaming hot.

"He went out before?"

Jack withdrew his gaze and asked Achilles.

Achilles nodded his head, "When we were patrolling last night, we saw him escorting a supply convoy out of the city. By right, it would take at least three days to complete the mission back and forth." Jack narrowed his eyes as he rubbed his nose and chuckled, "There must be something fishy when things got weird."
