Kaboom!

It was as if Jack was struck by a lightning. His body shuddered and his fury almost erupted from his eyes.

Mysterious man! That was the voice of the mysterious man! It was as if that struggling voice was said with immense effort. Jack could not think of anyone else other than the mysterious man. However, the caller was unlike the typical coolness and steadiness of the mysterious man. Even though they were miles apart, Jack could feel the panic and desperation in his voice.

"What happened?" Jack suppressed his feelings and asked through his gritted teeth but the call was immediately cut.

Jack appeared to freeze while still holding onto the phone to his ears. Horror, bewilderment, worry... all sorts of emotions churned within him. Jack started to breathe heavily.

'What the hell happened? Wasn't he simply holding off those four killers? Why then did he make this call?' Jack pondered.

"Hubby, what's wrong?" Amber was able to sense Jack's reactions as she was still in his embrace. As soon as she said, the phone slid out of Jack's hand and onto her back before falling onto the seat. Amber was stunned by what happened. Even Steve and Rosie were startled.

At this moment, Mr. Ward and Brent returned to the bus after the fight had ended. The bus was now protected by Cheer and the Masters of the six regions and a few hundred loyal men.

Both Mr. Ward and Brent were slightly wounded from the fight but they heard Amber's remark just as they boarded the bus. Mr. Ward and Brent immediately looked towards Jack. Jack's eyes were red at this point. His eyes started to focus, his breathing was labored and his voice quivered, "Mysterious man... he is in danger... something's wrong."

What?! Everyone on the bus was stunned inclusive of Amber and her parents. Apart from them, Mr. Ward, Brent, and Daisy were shocked with their eyes and mouth wide open.

"The mysterious man... something happened to him?" Brent was the first to speak. As soon as he spoke, he noticed that he stated the obvious and awkwardly lowered his head. Since the mysterious man had called, then surely something had happened to him! Brent realized that it was dumb for him to ask. But then again, it also reaffirmed Mr. Ward, Daisy, and his doubts. In their eyes, the mysterious man's fighting skills were supreme. This was undisputed.

Even Brent had to put aside his pride as the lord of Mercenaries and admit that the mysterious man's skills were several notches above him. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the mysterious man was superhuman.

Ninja Lord Iga could be considered as the highest skilled ninja in the entire world of ninjas. The mysterious man well and truly killed Ninja Lord Iga although he was injured in the process. Brent and Daisy witnessed the mysterious man kill Ninja Lord Iga with ease.

But... he was in trouble now!

"Turn the convoy and head to where the mysterious man was." Jack decisively ordered.

"I object!" Mr. Ward objected sternly, "Master, it is not time to be emotional. We need to be objective or things will get more complicated. I am certain that the mysterious man called you not because he wanted you to save him!"

Jack scoffed, "You are right, he hastened us to board the plane and depart without him!"

Bash! Jack punched the seat so strongly that the back of the seat dented and declared, "Don't forget, how long he had protected me and how many times he had saved my life!"

Jack's eyes were red and he was huffing and puffing like an angry bull. He felt as though he could erupt at any moment when he said, "He single-handedly covered our escape so that we can be safe. All of you are well aware of his abilities and even he told me not to worry about him Though this was not a call for help, it is far more heartbreaking!" Jack dragged the wheelchair and sat on it. His voice was cold and extremely firm.

"I am indebted to the mysterious man. Even if I am ungrateful, I will not abandon him in his time of need and run with my tail tucked between my legs. If I do that, then how different am I to an animal?" Jack trembled angrily and gritted his teeth while looking at Mr. Ward, Daisy, and Brent. He clenched his teeth as he said, "Or do you want me to become such a person. When one day you find yourself in a similar situation as the mysterious man, I will do the same as today and cold-bloodedly abandon you?"

Silence. Everyone knew that Jack was extremely furious. Everyone felt a mix of emotions while tears welled up in Mr. Ward's eyes. He slowly raised his hands and signaled respectfully, "If that day comes, I wouldn't want Master to save me. I would rather that Master be safe and sound!"

Jack was furious and his tightly clenched fists started to crackle.

Brent also said solemnly, "I share the same views as Mr. Ward. Everything will be fine as long as Master lives on!" is the owner.

"You..."

Smack! Jack punched the seat, "I don't care if you support or object! I will go and save him regardless of what you think!" Jack began to wheel himself towards the door.

"Missus!" Mr. Ward shouted for Amber as at this point, the only person who could dissuade Jack was her.

Thud! Under the watchful eyes of Steve and Rosie, Amber knelt on the floor. Jack paused when he heard this. He frowned deeply and the veins on his face began to throb. He took a deep breath and then said sternly, "Amber... even you want to stop me?"

Amber knelt and held onto Jack. Her eyes were tearing as she begged, "I beg you to listen to Mr. Ward. They are right, don't go, everyone is doing this for your good..."

Jack turned around slowly and then glared at Amber. He then grinned and then scoffed, "Amber, even you don't understand me..."

Amber was shocked. Suddenly...

Bash! Jack's expression changed drastically but before he could turn around, he blacked out.

"Mr. Ward! Enough!" Brent was dumbfounded and glared at Mr. Ward.

Mr. Ward waved his hand and said, "Desperate times call for desperate measures. We will not turn around and must now board the plane and depart immediately! I won't mind if Master decides to kill me when he regains his consciousness."

The room was dark and filled with the smell of pungent disinfectant. There appeared to be one person on the patient's bed. A person groaned in agony and tried to move but could not.

Then a terrified, desperate and helpless voice begged within the room, "Hubby... where are you, I, I need you..."☐☐☐
