The voice was scornful, and filled with arrogance.
Old Master Quinn froze.
Morrison was red in the face, caused by anger.
He bit his teeth and said, "Jack, what do you want! The Quinn family is already so humble, don't be too mean to us!"
"If I don't want to be mean, why would I bully you at all."
Jack's eyes were cold, and he asked Morrison, "You were trying to kill me, and when you killed my mother, have you thought about not being too hard on me?"
"You..." Morrison's ears flushed, he was speechless.
The living room was filled with murderous intentions.
It was so quiet that one could hear a needled drop.
Old Master Quinn threw a look at Morrison, then he slowly said, "Mr. Hughes, there is no harm in saying what one thinks."
Jack had a cold aura around himself, and spoke slowly, "I want to take over half of your stocks and the control."
Boom!
Old Master Quinn and Morrison both looked as if struck by lightening, frozen in their place.
The Quinn family had numerous businesses.
They relied on those businesses to make it to the richest family in X City.
And now Jack wanted to take over half of their stocks, and even control them?
Half of the stocks was a huge amount of money already.
What he meant by control was basically that their business would then have their name changed to Hughes instead of Quinn, if they agreed to that condition.
And the Quinn family would from then on belong to the Hughes.
"Mr. Hughes, don't you think that is a little too much to ask?"
Even Old Master Quinn, who was prepared for his end, was now shocked, and looked at Jack furiously.
He would rather die, because that way, he could keep his family going.
But what Jack asked of him was no difference than to break their backbone.
"If the lion wouldn't eat as much, how could he be called the king of the animal world?"
Jack overlooked Old Master Quinn, his words were stern, rude, unreasonable and bossy.
His majestic aura was pressuring on Old Master Quinn and Morrison, and it made their goosebumps come out.
Yael, Tom and Brent who were standing on the side, kept quiet.
A saying said to chase away the tiger to trap the wolf, now that he had already chased away Madam Hughes, who was the tiger, he of course had to get the wolf, the Quinn family. Their Young Master really changed.
Brent looked at Jack with his deep eyes.
If this was the old Jack, he would have never gotten to this step.
Back then, when they embezzled Drago's Drago Real Estate, it took a few times, and even then it was Mr. Ward who decided to get the deal done.
And now, Jack was just the same as Mr. Ward, but the difference was that he didn't think twice, and never felt any pity.
On the outside, Jack was still Jack, but after his experience in Black Hell, and the death of his mother, Brent could see the changes Jack went thought. These changes made Brent excited.
He knew that this was the changed Jack had to go through to turn into the head of Hughes family.
"Jack..." Morrison bit his teeth.
Just as he wanted to say something, Old Master Quinn cleared his throat and stopped him.
Old Master Quinn looked at Jack angrily, his tears ran, "If I agree, will you leave the Quinns alone?"
"I am just informing you, if I will leave you alone of not depends on what the Quinn will do."
Jack's eyes were cold and dense, he never showed any other emotions than hate since he arrived there.
In his head, he was seeing his mother again and again.
If it wasn't for trying to get the crown, he wouldn't have even given this chance to the Quinns.
"Puh..."
Old Master Quinn took a deep breath, then he suddenly said, "Morrison, remember this, we will transfer half of the Quinn's stocks and the control. From tonight on, you will be the head of Quinn's, tell the family to do good things, and to take care of themselves."
"Dad..."
Morrison kneed down on the ground, and cried out loud.
The Quinn family was always standing up straight in X City, always high above the X City and watching over them, he never thought that one day, they would be forced by someone to this point.
father's words were like rocks in his heart, each one of them pressing on his chest, making it almost impossible to breat
"Mr. Hughes, I agree."
Old Master Quinn looked at Jack with his dark and gloomy eyes, he was very determined, "Can I leave now?"
"Let me send you."
The cold voice was heard.
Suddenly a shadow was seen in the lit up room, a sword was placed on Old Master Quinn's neck, it was so bright that it hurt in the eyes.
Then, blood was splashing all over.
Morrison fell on the ground, screaming and crying, all he felt was fluid on his face, and the smell of blood in his nose.
He didn't dare to look up, he raised his trembling hand and wiped it off the face, what he saw was red.
"Ah!"
Morrison's head went blank, and he screamed out of pain.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Old Master Quinn fell down into the paddle of blood, he was already lifeless.
On the other side, Jack lowered the sword in his hand until the tip was on the ground, the bright red blood was running down along the sword blade, until it dropped on the flood.
It only took a short moment as Jack swung his sword in one smooth movement, and it was like floating clouds and flowing water.
Then, he let the sword fall on the ground, and looked at Morrison, who was crushed, with his cold eyes, "Take him, tomorrow, we will finish the transaction."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Morrison's face was pale, on it the blood and tears were mixed, and he said those three words while biting his teeth together.
Then, he sat up, with the back to his father, and took the sword, and went out of the room.
Morrison's shadow became longer and longer in the light.
"Tom, clean up in here, and organize someone for tomorrow's transaction."
"Y-yes, Young Master."
Tom's eyes were empty, Jack's words woke him up and he stuttered.
When he heard steps, he looked up slowly, and stared at Jack, who was leaving, he didn't even notice when he sweat his shirt wet.
In the scene that just happened, Jack was filled with pure murder, even he, as the Hughes' consul general in X City, was scared to his bones.
At the Quinn's birthday banquet, he was walking with Jack, Jack's behavior was already enough to make him speechless, but if he compared the incidence at the birthday with what he saw today, that was nothing in comparison.
After a long time, Tom looked at the blood on the floor, and mumbled, "This... is this really the Young Master that was abandoned for more than 20 years?"
Tom was responsible for X City, he had seen many of the young generation of the Hughes', but not a single one of them made him so shocked, so scared.
On the one side, there were the Hughes heirs that enjoyed the elite education, on the other side there was this Hughes heir, the boy that was called the "bastard", Tom could tell the difference between the two of them out of his own experience.
Back in the room, Jack was still awake.
He asked Brent to find some incense and he built up a simple mourning hall in the living room, then he put some of Sophie's pictures there.
"Mom, sorry, I was unfilial."
Jack kneed down on the floor, and spilled some wine on the ground, then, he kowtowed three times.
When he raised his head again, his eyes were shining with tears in them, "I couldn't take full revenge for your death because I need to get to the position of head of the Hughes family."
After he said that, he spilled the wine in his cup on the ground again, and kowtowed another three times.
He refilled the cup three more times, and did the ritual again, but when he was done, he kept kneeing on the ground, staring at the pictures of his mother, then, the tears ran down his cheeks, he bit his lips so hard that it started bleeding, but till the end, he didn't make one sound.
All of X City's rich families were watching everything in the Quinn's family.
When Morrison carried his father's body when leaving Soosen Villa, they were shocked!
At the same time, a storm gathered rage...☐☐☐☐☐☐☐--------
