Chapter 799:
As Stephen spoke, he noticed a noticeable shift in Red Jack’s expression. His color drained from his face, and a nervous tension overtook him. Then, with sudden agitation, Red Jack shouted, “Don’t bring that up! I don’t want to see that person again!”
In an instant, Red Jack darted behind the sofa, his body shaking violently, clearly overwhelmed with fear.
Anyone who’d gone through what Red Jack had experienced would understand the terror in his reaction.
Red Jack knew all too well how powerful Ashton was. He had even taken precautions by preparing a lethal poison, one strong enough to wipe out over a hundred people.
But despite his careful preparations, Ashton not only survived but effortlessly countered every attack, leaving Red Jack powerless.
For a long time, Red Jack had convinced himself that while he couldn’t defeat Ashton directly, he would still have the upper hand when it came to his specialty.
However, when Red Jack finally faced Ashton, who was intent on killing him, reality hit hard. At that moment, he saw just how futile his own efforts had been, how ridiculous he had looked in front of someone so far out of his league.
The experience had shaken him deeply, and it was something he never wanted to relive.
As Red Jack hid behind the sofa in fear, Stephen watched, feeling a mixture of disdain and curiosity. Stephen had never felt that kind of terror himself, and it was hard for him to understand the depth of Red Jack’s panic.
Still, Stephen knew that Red Jack was his best option. He had one of the secret treasures, the key to fulfilling Stephen’s ultimate desires.
Suppressing his irritation, he said, “Mr. Red Jack, listen. As long as we get rid of Ashton and secure the treasures, I’ll mobilize all my resources to back you up. On top of that, I’ll ensure your Dark Night Organization receives a significant boost in funding once this is over. We’ll be partners in this.”

Stephen’s voice turned sharper. “Are you really going to let one defeat stop you from achieving your wish? No matter how strong Ashton is, he’s still just one man. We have plenty of ways to deal with him.”
Red Jack’s face twitched, his expression darkening for a moment. After a long silence, he finally seemed to calm himself. It was clear he was thinking carefully, considering his next words. Finally, he spoke, his voice steady but firm. “I don’t need your resources. I can bring in help from my own organization. But there’s one condition. After everything is over, I’ll let you make your wish, but the three secret treasures will belong to the Dark Night Organization from then on.”
Stephen hesitated, mulling over Red Jack’s condition.
But he quickly weighed the pros and cons in his mind. If he could finally have his wish fulfilled—wealth beyond his imagination and immortality—nothing else would matter. Ten billion dollars and eternal life were all he needed.
Taking a deep breath, he clenched his teeth and met Red Jack’s gaze. “I can agree to your terms, but are you sure the people you’re bringing are reliable?”
Red Jack’s expression remained steady; his decision was made. “Ashton’s strength can’t be underestimated. That’s why I’m calling in the leader of our Night Palace, Sainz.”
