The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine)

Chapter 1018 Betting of the Life, Drawing for Beast

Under the lights, the palace glowed brightly. Almost everywhere, a patrolling crew could be observed.

The wind and snow were howling, and Jack and the others were moving quickly.

On the way, there were patrolling squads that saluted The Hun King.

The King, on the other hand, maintained a grim expression, disregarding all that was going on around

him.

The crew soon entered a palace building.

It wasn't really a palace; it resembled a fortress but was built in the proportions of a palace.

When the Hun King gave the command, the stronghold gate opened.

Within the stronghold, moaning and roaring of creatures could be heard in an instant. It muffled the

howling of the snow and wind, and the echo shook the entire palace.

In an instant, the peaceful palace in the middle of the night came to life.

“Is the beast roaring?” Oh my, did I hear anything wrong? Did the King unlock the beast fighting cage?”

“Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness! Isn't it thirty years since the beast fighting cage was last opened?”

“People in the medical hall said that the King was enraged and intended to kill a Wolf House officer, but

the princess pleaded for the beast fighting cage instead!”

…

Aside from the roaring of the creatures, the palace was filled with the sounds of people discussing the

incident.

Despite the weather, the beast fighting cage's opening drew a large crowd.

Even though they were not permitted to enter, it was a wonderful occasion for them, even though they

had to wait for the outcome outside of the fighting cage.

Opening the cage was not a common occurrence!

It hadn't been opened in thirty years. The time difference alone was enough to make the opening a big

occasion in the palace!

Hearing the beasts, the residents near the palace were all terrified.

And so the debate started.

“It has been unlocked! The beast fighting cage has been unlocked!”

“Oh, I remember being a tiny child the last time it was opened! I've even had my own child!”

“When the beast fighting cage is opened, it represents the birth of a rising star or the fall of a man!”

…

Amanda was scared by the roaring of the creatures in front of the beast fighting cage. She took a step

forward, moved in close to Jack, and grasped his hand hard. "Could you not enter?"

Cynthia didn't leave anything out when she was explaining the beast fighting cage to Jack just now. As

a result, Amanda realized how dangerous the beast fighting cage was. She was much more concerned

now that she could hear the creatures growling.

"Don't worry, Amanda," Jack said as he embraced her.

Because of Cynthia, the guards around them did not intervene.

As he stepped inside the beast fighting cage with the squad, Jack patted Amanda on the back

repeatedly to soothe her. He then turned to Cynthia and said, "If I perish in the beast fighting cage,

please look after Amanda for me." He stated.

"Don't be concerned." Cynthia gave a nod, "As your wife, I'll be eternally thankful to Amanda for saving

your life. She's also the daughter of Snow Land, so I'll make sure she has a wonderful life from now

on."

A brief and straightforward discussion that seemed like the final words of a dying person.

"Huh…" Because of the chilly temperature, Jack exhaled deeply, his breath turning to smoke.

When they entered the beast fighting cage, the gate behind him closed.

Inside the stronghold, the creatures howled one after the other.

There were roars from tigers, growls from lions, and howling from wolves...

All of the sounds overlappings was scary and overwhelming.

Following the howling, some beats began banging on the cages, generating a new sort of scary sound.

The team's entrance inside the beast fighting cage was like pouring cold water into a skillet full of hot

oil; it burst in an instant.

"Beast Slave!"

One of the guards yelled.

A succession of chain shakes could be heard from a long distance away.

Under the brilliant lights, Jack noticed a few men approaching them from afar, all chained up on the

legs.

Their upper body was bare and covered with scars, they appeared emotionless and indifferent, and

their long and untidy hair was like weeds covering their head.

"Beast slave?" Jack frowned.

"They are slaves who feed the monsters contained within the cage. A high-risk task like this will not fall

to ordinary folks; if they are not careful, they will become the dinner of the beasts." Cynthia elaborated.

Jack's frown deepened. He despised this system!

When someone was referred to be a slave, they were treated as if they were worst than an animal!

Amanda, her brother, and he might have ended out quite differently if it hadn't been for Amanda's

brother and if they hadn't met Cynthia.

That was... everlasting darkness!

"Quick!"

When the guard alongside The Hun King noticed them going slowly, he ran up to them. "It's your

honour to see the King's visit, move fast!" he kicked one of the slaves.

As he spoke, the guard kicked the slave who had fallen to the ground a few more times.

None of them thought his actions were improper.

Slaves... were born low! The

The beating, on the other hand, had an effect.

The beast slaves rushed forward and knelt in front of The Hun King.

"The King is welcomed by the beast slaves!" Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

A slave was unworthy of a name.

"Open the cage, and get ready for a fight!" The King gave a cold order.

The slaves then followed the guards' orders and went deep into the beast fighting cage.

While The Hun King commanded the team and marched steadily ahead.

Everything about the beast fighting cage was revealed to Jack one by one.

He took a deep breath as he saw what was in front of his eyes.

In the centre of the beast fighting cage, there was a large empty area.

A metal cage approximately five hundred square meters in size was placed right in the centre.

There were metal tunnels connecting the cage to the dark pits around it.

The howling creatures and cage slamming sounds came from the dark depths.

Jack could even see cruel and furious eyes glowing in various colours inside the black holes

illuminated by the light.

Amanda shook fiercely in Jack's embrace.

This was extremely frightening for a young child like her.

When confronted with wild animals, people were born to be fearful.

Even for adults, fear was unavoidable, let alone a little child of a few years.

"Amanda, please go to Cynthia."

As he consoled Amanda, Jack handed her over to her.

Amanda did not reject; rather, she carried her in her arms.

The guards around them were taken aback; they couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Oh my goodness! What is this man's connection to the princess?

The Hun King's daughter lowered herself to carry a child?

When the Hun King observed this, he said aloud, "Bring out the Drawing Crate!"

Sounds of shackles swaying...

Soon after, a succession of chain-shaking sounds could be heard coming from a dark area.

Jack noticed a few chained up beast slaves approaching them, carrying a large and hefty crate with

them.

"Wishing you all the best!"

Cynthia gave Jack a nod. She may appear calm, but the hands that were clutching Amanda were

already drenched in sweat.

Jack didn't say anything, but he softly caressed Amanda's head before stepping up to the drawing

crate.

He was aware that the beast he would face later was decided by the contents of the drawing crate!

As Jack continued to go ahead, Cynthia, who was standing behind him, suddenly seized him; he could

feel Cynthia's body near his back.

He felt a dagger being shoved into the belt of his beast robe without turning...

He quickly placed his palm on that spot and pressed it.

Cynthia managed everything perfectly, and despite being looked over by a swarm of eyes, no one

spotted the dagger.

Tap...Tap…

Jack approached the drawing crate, which appeared to be an average drawing case; he did not pause;

he had no choice; he had to accept this challenge!

After taking a deep breath, he reached inside and retrieved a piece of paper.

Every move of Jack touched the hearts of the audience.

Because everyone understood that this draw determined the beast Jack would face while also

influencing his chances of surviving!
