Winner Takes All

In the training room.

"Huh... Huh..."

Jack was soaked in sweat, fell seated on the floor and gasping for air.

His body was exhausted and a little cramped by repeated actions in a prolonged time.

But the numbness from the cramps had become more bearable than before.

Jack understood that these muscles cramps were the effect of the body adjusting to the power after repeating the first ten moves of the Sky Dragon Routine. Because after these cramps, Jack could feel the energy left on his body were changing slightly.

It was the effect of the practice.

Hence, Jack enjoyed the cramps from the practice.

A cold breeze blew in from the ventilation openings and froze the sweats on Jack's body, the drops of ices fell onto the ground following Jack's movements.

It continued for another half an hour.

His condition stabilized, he then let out a heavy sigh, stood up and stretched.

Crackle sound...

All his joints made a crackling sound as he stretched. It was like a handful of peas falling onto the ground at the same time.

There was even a weak sound that sounded like muscles pushing each other.

The next second, Jack's expression turned serious and focused.

He made a punch to the air.

Bang!

A loud bang was heard from the end of his fist.

Jack pulled back his punch and looked at his fist in satisfaction. He murmured, "Guess my condition now will allow me to face Brent's Python Devours Dragon more easily than with only fighting skills and tricks."

He looked up at the ventilation openings, the falling snow became more visible and clear to his eyes.

But Jack's sight deepened, he missed home.

"I've been away for half a month, wonder how things are over there. Mr Ward, Brent, Daisy... Had Beast awakened?"

His tone was full of his longing to be home.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Jack had completely cut off from the outside world since he stepped foot into Thegiant City and joined the Dragon Cavalry.

He was well protected here but couldn't receive a single piece of news from the outside world.

Although Zenith promised to keep an eye on what was happening over there, he had never mentioned anything so far.

He left home and came to a snowy place like this, any moment of silence made him missed home.

He clenched his fist and murmured, "Amber... Wait for me, I'll be back soon!"

Though it was murmured, but he sounded determined.

Next, he repeated the first ten moves of Sky Dragon Routine for another three times.

And left the training room to rest in the camp three hours before the morning training session began.

Three hours was enough for him!

Recalling the "counter-attack" by Sky Dragon Routine and Zenith's advice, Jack dared not take further step impulsively. What he could do now was take a small step at a time and repeating the first ten moves continuously.

He didn't want to waste even one second.

So he fully utilized each second so that he could progress further quicker.

His progression pace and improvements determined when could he go home.

The next morning.

The morning sunlight shone brightly on TM Villa.

Vinna entered the villa dragging her exhausted body.

She stayed overnight at LJ Hospital these days to accompany Yael.

TM Villa was nothing but an accommodation to her, she spent most of her time at the hospital.

She was the lady of the Vaughn family, living and eating luxuriously.

Her transformation was unimaginable, it was a complete change!

The Vaughn were all stunned and worried about her. Old Master Vaughn was here a few time, asking her to go home but to no avail.

As time passed by, everyone accepted Vinna's decision.

Amber, Mr Ward, Brent, Daisy and The Mysterious Man were having breakfast when Amber stepped foot into the villa.

"Vinna, come join us for breakfast." Daisy saw Vinna and said smiley.

"No Daisy, please carry on, I'm going to take a nap and back to the hospital later."

Vinna had lost a tremendous amount of weight, she looked exhausted with visible dark circles around her eyes. Her forceful smile was also very obvious.

And then she climbed up the stairs dragging her fatigued body.

One could only understand the suffering of sleep deprivation with own experience.

Vinna even felt like everything was spinning around while she climbed up the stairs.

She couldn't even hear Daisy who called out her name a few times.

"Daisy, Vinna is exhausted!"

Mr Ward said and he let out a long sigh watching Vinna disappeared from the stairs. "That womanizer Yael fell into the hands of such a loyal lover like Vinna, he's such a lucky dude!" Brent and Daisy's expression deepened hearing that.

"But Mr Ward, Vinna might collapse if this continues," Daisy said.

"Yes Mr Ward, we need to think of a way."

Brent agreed. "Vinna's emotions are like a roller coaster lately, happy now and depress the next second, this is not a good sign."

Mr Ward smiled helplessly. "She's facing a vegetative Yael every day but is still standing strong, it would be odd if she could keep a calm and relaxing emotion."

Mr Ward then took the napkin and wiped the corner of his lips.

And continued, "Let her be, everyone knows she's wasting her energy but it's better than forcing her to stop. She is deeply sunken into her own world, when she can't hang on any longer, perhaps she will then allow herself to have a good sleep."

Brent and Daisy still felt sad and wanted to continue looking at Mr Ward.

Amber who was having her porridge stopped and said calmly, "Daisy, Brent, I agree with Mr Ward, let Vinna be, we've said and done enough, there's nothing we can do with Brent in a coma in the hospital. And we can't do anything with Vinna who refused to listen to us, she is an adult, she knows what she's doing."

She was calm and sounded emotionless.

Her tone stunned Mr Ward, Brent and Daisy and they looked at her in surprise.

How could Mrs. Hughes... Uttered those words so calmly?
