Immortal King

Chapter 86

"Puff!" The old man widened his eyes in disbelief. 'Isn't this fella here to help me?'

Jack and the others had returned to the hospital.

"Jack, are you all right?" Emily had already dealt with her injuries. Seeing that it was not as serious as before, Jack was relieved.

"By the way, Lily has already woken up." She said.

Jack's heart soared at the good news. When he walked into the ward, he saw Lily awake, sitting by the bed.

"You're awake." Jack stepped forward and asked.

Lily raised her head in confusion when she heard the voice. "Who are you?" Jack was stunned and looked at Maxwell, who was picking his nose.

Maxwell tapped his temple and said, "She's lost her memory. It's harder to handle than dealing with someone in a coma. Her recovery's up to fate."

"Will it affect health?" Jack asked.

"No, it seems that she remembers everything except for you." Maxwell said.

Jack turned his head and saw that Lily was chatting with her family. However, whenever she saw him, Emily, Drake, and others, Lily's eyes would become strange.

"This must be fate," Jack murmured, his voice emotionless. He turned to leave, thinking that perhaps this was for the best. Being entangled with him could only bring her pain.

.

Meanwhile, in the underground casino of Wyndcrest, Lucky lay prone in front of the mysterious young master with a sad look, "My master is dead!" His legs were broken.

"Who killed him?" Young Master asked.

"The stone pierced through his head. It must be Jack who did it." Lucky felt extremely angry and sad. Although his master had abandoned him at the last moment, he had raised him for many years.

"Jack ruined another of my chess pieces. Why does he like to go against me so much?" The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his tone became gloomy. "But it doesn't matter. In a few days, my third uncle will come to Wyndcrest. At that time, let them avenge your master."

***

In the next few days, Jack lived a much easier life, but he did not let down his guard. As expected, the chief culprit who had helped him behind the scenes was Lucky's owner.

Now that he refused to come out, Jack did not intend to take the initiative to come out. After all, the main purpose of his fake death this time was to find out the traitor in the Northern Army, so it was better to keep a low profile.

However, he suddenly received a call from Nancy.

"Jack, where are you?" She asked.

"Nancy? Is something wrong?" Jack was surprised. He didn't expect Nancy to call him.

"Come to my house and have a meal with me and Emily's father." Nancy said coldly. It sounded like something bad was going to happen.

"Okay." Jack agreed and drove to the villa of the Foster family.

"Nancy, Frank, this is a little gift. It's a token of respect."

There was no time to prepare anything good, but he asked Drake to choose two antiques for him. It was said that Drake took them directly from the governor's mansion, so they must be authentic.

"Put it over there." Nancy said lazily.

"Is Emily not here?" Jack looked around but did not find Emily.

"She has been busy at the construction site recently. She doesn't have time to go home." Jack glanced around and found that Nancy was wearing very luxurious clothes. It seemed that the construction project of the slums had begun to make a profit.

"What can I do for you?" Jack asked.

"You're clever, Jack. I asked you here for one reason: I want you to leave her." Nancy sat up straight and said in a serious tone.

Jack frowned and didn't say anything.

Nancy continued, "I used to scold you because of my bad attitude, but I'm talking to you calmly this time. Do you think you're worthy of Emily now?"

"Her project earns a lot of profit every day. I'm going to sell this villa. We're going to buy a detached villa in the villa area of Dragon Crest. Do you know what the villa there means?" Nancy said proudly, "It means identity and status. Our family is already a celebrity in Wyndcrest."

"But what about you, Jack?" Nancy walked up to Jack with disgust in her eyes. "You're just a soldier who retired from the army. You've been back for a few months, but you don't even have a decent job like a gangster! How dare you stay with her?"

"Then what kind of identity do you think is suitable?" Jack asked lightly.

"Don't worry. I have already found a better man for Emily." Nancy said proudly, "And he will be here soon. If you want to be humiliated, you can stay."

As soon as she finished speaking, a siren came from outside the door. Then a young and handsome man came in under the lead of a middle-aged man and woman.

"Nancy, long time no see!" The middle-aged woman was dressed luxuriously and hugged Nancy enthusiastically.

"Mandy, we haven't seen each other for many years after graduating from college." Nancy welcomed the middle-aged woman into the house and said enthusiastically.

"It's been more than 20 years. Kaid, come and say hello." Mandy Medhurst waved to the young man behind her.

The young man named Kaid Medhurst immediately stepped forward and handed over the gift in his hand. "My name is Kaid. This is the gift I selected for you in West State. Please accept it."

"Oh, you're so polite!" Nancy accepted them happily. However, when she saw that there were two antiques in the bag, her expression changed. 'They are exactly the same as what Jack brought. Jack's must be fake!'

Thinking of this, Nancy shouted at Jack next to her, "You brought a fake gift. Do you have any respect for Emily's father and me?"

"With behavior like this, you have no right to be with her. Now get out!" Nancy walked to the door angrily, picked up the antique brought by Jack, and threw it at him.

Jack caught it steadily in the air. Amid their mocking stares, he slowly said, "I don't know where you got this antique from, but the one in my hand is definitely authentic."
