Winner Takes All

Jack reached into the Drawing Crate to determine whether he would be alive or dead.

It was as if the entire cage had fallen into dead silence for a moment.

Everybody's heart was pounding as they gazed with anticipation.

However, their intentions were different.

Cynthia and Amanda were worried and apprehensive.

On the other hand, the ordinary guards were all watching the fun.

As for the Hun King, his expression was stern and he was still furious.

The moment of reaching his hand out seemed like taking a long time.

It was when Jack slowly drew his right hand out of the crate.

Everyone was so nervous that their heart was palpitating rapidly as if their heartbeat skipped at the moment.

Even Jack could not help but feel anxious and nervous when he drew out the beast selection stick.

It was only when he saw clearly the beast labelled on the stick.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

It was like a bolt from the blue. His whole body froze still in the same place and he blurted out loudly, "Damn it!"

The guard who had already followed behind Jack took the stick directly from Jack at this moment.

Once the guard saw the beast on it, even he could not help but glance at Jack again.

After shaking his head, the guard then turned around and said loudly, "Snow Lion!"

Boom!

The two words were thundering.

It was in an instant.

Everybody was clamouring with excitement.

"The Wolf is above! Surprisingly, it is the Snow Lion. This is the strongest beast in the cage!"

"It is said that the king found a Snow Lion when he was out hunting with ten thousand people three years ago. This Snow Lion had killed hundreds of people before the king could manage to capture it!"

"I know more than you do. When the king put the Snow Lion into the cage, the Snow Lion fought with a Siberian Tigger. At that time, the Siberian Tiger was the strongest in the cage. But it just eventually became the prey of the Snow Lion!"

Even if the Hun King was at the scene, these guards could not help but argue about it at this moment.

It was on the other side.

When Cynthia heard of "Snow Lion", she felt dazed as if the sky was spinning. She lamented in her heart, "Is it true that God wants to kill you?"

Normally, there could not have been a lion in the snowfield. The lion would only have appeared as a king in the grassland.

However, the Snow Lion was really captured by the Hun King three years ago when he was out hunting!

It was so exotic in the snowfield that the Hun King even regarded it as a blessing at that moment. The Hun King even feasted all the lords and nobles in the palace for three days!

Perhaps it was also due to this unusual existence, this Snow Lion was so powerful and terrifying!

The guards only mentioned about hundreds of lives had been lost during the capture of the Snow Lion.

They did not know that among the hundreds of lives...five of them were the future generals from the Wolf House and about twenty of them with superb martial arts strength who held important positions in the military!

Each of them was not ordinary people!

Their martial arts strength was outstanding and considered the peak among the others!

"Sir..."

Amanda's face turned pale as she was very worried. She suddenly turned her head to Cynthia and pleaded, "Cynthia, Can you, can you save Sir?"

Save?

This was already saving him!

Cynthia felt bitter deep in her heart. The way she expected to save him was that if he could draw that kind of beast like the wolf. Even if there were many wolves, but Jack had a higher chance to get out of the cage alive according to his strength.

However, God had not blessed him as he had drawn the Snow Lion directly.

God wanted to kill him!

"Medea, father has given him chance. But he has drawn the Snow Lion by himself. If God wants him to die, he has to die!"

The Hun King even showed a smug look on his face at this moment. He looked sternly at Cynthia who was dumbfounded, "The Snow Lion is the strongest beast. Father cannot be stingy since he was able to draw this beast. If he can get out of the cage alive, I will not only ignore everything he did before but also directly promote him to be the Hun General and take charge of the army!"

He had been uncertain of Jack who was favoured by Cynthia. No, to be precise, the Hun King had been uncertain of Cynthia for uniting the foreign tribes to attack southward.

After Wolfgang was on the verge of death and Mr.Wilson died on the spot, he was angry and wanted to kill Jack.

As compared to Cynthia's perspective, the Hun King thought more of stabilizing the situation in the Hun now. As for attacking southward, there would always be a chance step by step!

His attitude was not as determined as Cynthia's. So, he was not too concern for Jack's life who had been regarded as "the sharpest weapon to attack southward" after suffering from the loss of the generals of the Wolf House and his advisor.

Under Jack's threatening just now, he was even furious and decided to kill him on the spot. He was not as forgiving as Cynthia.

However, it was also because of his hesitation and his affection for his daughter. So, he took the advantage to give Jack a chance when Cynthia pleaded to open the cage. However, God wanted to kill Jack!

He, the Hun King, was certainly pleased to do so.

Jack was going to die anyway. Apparently, he wanted to be more generous in front of his daughter as he was not stupid.

Even though Jack died, both father and daughter still had to get along every day in the future.

It was just that... Cynthia ignored the Hun King's promise.

She stood still and hugged Amanda. Apart from feeling dizzy, darkness enveloped her eyes while her body was limp.

General?

So impressive! So courageous!

What was the point of making such a promise despite knowing that he would surely die?

To show your generosity? To sure your forgiveness? To show that you were magnificent?

"Father, father, the Hun will be doomed and unable to prosper if you were the king. You know that he will be killed by the Snow Lion, so what is the point of making such a promise?" This was the thought in Cynthia's mind.

Cynthia even showed a disdainful smile when this thought came across her mind.

Ever since she was a child, this was the first time she had despised her father!

It was in a trance.

Cynthia felt some moisture on her cheek. She regained her sense and moved Amanda back gently. At that instant, she could see Amanda's tears flowing down from her eyes. However, Amanda's lips were tightly closed as she forced herself to hold back her sobs.

Amanda also made a silent gesture when Cynthia saw her tears. She suppressed her sobs and whispered, "My brother and Sir want Amanda to be strong, don't cry..." Cynthia was stunned instantly. Amanda's words were like a sharp knife cutting on her heart mercilessly!

"Enter the cage!"

The guard who had been standing beside Jack glanced at Jack disdainfully and mocked, "You're damn talented too. There are about ten beasts in the cage and you have drawn the strongest which is the Snow Lion. You deserve to die."

If it was before with his position as a guard, he would never dare to speak like this to Jack who had entered the Wolf House.

But now, it had become a certain death since Jack had drawn the Snow Lion. The guard was sure that Jack who was in front of him or even if the strongest man in the Wolf House, Wolfgang, would end up as the prey of the Snow Lion.

Respect and reverence had never been the attitude to treat the dead!☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
