Jack was speechless.
Was this a joke?
"Do you think I am joking?" Patrick said, as if he guessed Jack's thoughts.
Jack was quiet.
Patrick laughed freely, "You will understand the difference."
The way of a King, overbearing, benevolent...
Jack closed his mouth, eyes were full of thought, what his father said seemed a bit like a joke, but he thought about it carefully, it seemed that there were some differences.
Soon, he came to a magnificent house.
There was a certain distance between this house and the surrounding houses and pavilions, no matter the scale or the construction style, they all revealed a majestic atmosphere, a magnificent and solemn feeling.
It seemed to stand out from the crowd.
"Young Master, this is the residence of the Master." Mr. Ward said softly.
Jack looked at the magnificent house in front of him, and his heart trembled inexplicably.
This feeling was very complicated and hard to describe.
But he subconsciously clenched his fists, and his eyes were firmer than ever.
Then he entered the house.
A group of domestic slaves are busy.
Patrick took Jack and the others into the lobby.
It was an antique decoration style, every detail showed the superiority of the Hughes family.
The priceless antique vases and the calligraphy and paintings of some famous masters in the living room seemed to have become the foil for the decoration.
After they have been seated.
Mr. Ward made tea for Jack.
After doing everything, he left the hall with Brent and Daisy and closed the door.
It was quiet in the lobby.
Patrick sat quietly in his wheelchair, sipping his tea silently.
Jack sat aside and looked his father up and down.
His father looked a little weak in that moment, but he would recover from it.
This made Jack relieved.
He had no mother, if he lost his father.
Then life would have no home, but only a journey to death.
"It was really close this time."
Patrick put down his tea and broke the silence first.
"Who did it?"
Jack frowned as he asked.
Ghost was the tenth killer on the Azrael List.
To put it bluntly, there was probably no one in the world that Ghost would not dare to kill.
But the point was, there must be some kind of motivation, right?
Ghost wouldn't return for no reason to assassinate his father after the failure.
"Haha, don't ask too much. Knowing too much is not good for you."
Patrick waved his hand and changed the subject, "Aren't you curious, how I survived?"
This had hit Jack in his heart.
He was really curious.
He had personally seen the strength of Ghost in the Four Impressions Club.
Both Brent and Daisy were the top killers of the Azrael List.
The security team was also the top team that protected his father all the time.Content rights belong to .
Even the usual security team of the Four Impressions Club was definitely of superior quality.
With heavy protection, Ghost could yet make it to knock everyone down and broke straight into the Bamboo Grove.
If Uncle Brown had not been there at the time, he would have been killed by Ghost.
Patrick was not protected by the security team, and there was not a top expert like Brent guarding him. Could survive only by relying on the instinctive "weak" protective power of the Hughes family? Patrick smiled deliberately lowered his voice, "It was your Uncle Brown."
Jack's pupils narrowed, and he was immediately dumbfounded.
"After he left my place, he came to you?"
"Has he been to your place?"
Patrick raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then chuckled, "I must be confused. I sent you to Black Hell deliberately to let you meet him. Since he had gotten out of Black Hell, he naturally went to see you first."
Jack said, "After he came to see me, I asked him to stay for three days. On the third day, Ghost came around. Brown helped me chase away Ghost and then he left."
"He didn't come to the Hughes Mansion directly. To be precise, he sneaked into the Hughes Mansion shortly before I was attacked. He happened to see me be attacked, so he took action." Patrick's eyes were deep, and his fingertips tapped the wheelchair armrest lightly, "Did you see the head on the archway of the Hughes Mansion? That is what your Uncle Brown did."
Jack was shocked as he reacted to that.
"He sneaked into the Hughes Mansion? What do you mean by that?"
Although Brown failed to compete with his father for the position of the head of the family and was sent to the Black Hell without exact reason.
But in the end, he was a Hughes after all, and he was also a former heir, and his relationship with his father was not bad.
He should be allowed to enter the Hughes Mansion in an upright manner and not in hiding.
"How do I know what Brown thinks?"
Patrick gave a weird smile and Jack saw that, but he always felt there was more, obviously his father didn't want to tell him.
As he saw that Jack kept silent.
Patrick smiled and said, "Silly boy, the less you know, the better. Your top priority is to solve your current problems. The goal is to be the head of the family. This is what you promised your mother, and your mother's glory should also be up to you to fight for. As for the other things, when the time comes, I will tell you one by one."
When he heard his father mentioning his mother, Jack's face darkened, but he suppressed the doubts in his heart. Indeed, it was time to solve the assassination first, and then aim for the position of the head of the Hughes family.
As for other things, he couldn't touch it, and he didn't have the ability to do so.
Patrick raised his eyes to the closed door of the lobby, his eyes gleaming.
It seemed as if he was able to look through the door to see farther away.
He smiled comfortingly and said, "However, since your Uncle Brown has gotten out of Black Hell this time, if he is willing to help you, then the assassination mission of Assassin Squad should be solved soon."
Jack was shocked.
"Brown can finish the assassination mission?"
"Shouldn't it be possible?" Patrick smiled uncertainly.
Just as he said that.
Outside the gate, Mr. Ward's low and sullen voice suddenly sounded.
"Master, Young Master, Madame Hughes is going to hold a family meeting and sent someone to invite Master and Young Master over."
A family meeting?!
Jack knitted his brows, he just left Jensen House, and a family meeting was going to be held now.
Madame Hughes' thoughts were changing fast enough!
Patrick slapped the armrest of the wheelchair, his hands grabbing the armrest made a squeaking sound. Raging anger suddenly appeared on his face.
At this moment, Jack also felt his father's anger and couldn't help but to keep quiet.
"She is not giving up. She won't have long anymore, who does she think she is to hold a family meeting?"
Patrick squeezed the words from between his teeth, like a sullen lion, with majestic eyes, "I as the head of the family haven't even spoken yet. Why is she usurping power like this?" Outside the gate.
Mr. Ward's voice was extremely low and deep, "Master, someone said it was to discuss important matters for the heir!"
"Discuss?!"
Patrick grinned furiously, "This old bitch probably has lost her face just now and couldn't bear with it anymore. She wants to mobilize the whole family to pressure on me, to let out her anger!" After that, he said coldly, "Jack, take me over there, I want to see, what kind of games this old bitch wants to play!"
