The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine)

Chapter 972 Little Girl Amanda

The chilling wind was sharp like knives.

Thick and heavy snow hurled towards the skies.

The slave convoy moved slowly, going around the Skyline Mountain to reach The Hun Royal Palace

behind of Skyline Mountain.

The slave convoy had been moving around the snow plains for years, and they were familiar with the

surroundings. They rather take a longer distance and go around the Skyline Mountain, instead of going

into the Skyline Mountain and facing the unknown dangers.

The convoy moved forward. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

The bells were still chiming.

As for the children inside the prison cages, they all hugged together, trembling in fear. Their eyes

panicked with helplessness and lifelessness…

As a native in the foreign region, even though they were still young, they knew what would become of

them.

However, they were intimidated by the surrounding foreign men, unable to resist, and could only wait

helplessly for their cruel destiny.

Jack was thrown inside one of the prison cages. Because of his adult size, all the other children had to

curl up in a corner. They were all looking strangely at the fainted Jack who was lying in another corner.

Suddenly.

A little girl mustered up her courage and moved a step forward from her companions.

She was six to seven years old, with a ponytail on her head. Her head was covered with a piece of

black cloth to block the wind and snow, and her face was dirty. Her cheeks were chilled and redden,

even some parts of her face were cracked. But her eyes were clear and dark and looked like a

diamond, shining bright in the dark.

But now, with a slight worry, she looked at Jack who was still unconscious.

“Amanda, come back!”

Among the children, a teenage boy called out to her.

He was obviously taller than most of the children and was slightly sturdier. He curled up among the

children and looked as if he was their leader.

"Brother, will he freeze to death?"

The girl who was called Amanda turned her head around and blinked while she sniffed her nose.

She and the teenage boy were siblings.

She was small and weak. But because of her brother's protection, she could stay safe and hide among

the other children.

"He will definitely freeze to death. It's so cold around here."

The boy replied coldly, "Faster come back. Don't care about him. If he freezes to death, it's also his

destiny. I don't want anything to happen to you."

“But…”

Amanda looked at Jack hesitantly, and turned back to her brother, "Brother, We... can we try and save

him?"

“Save him?”

The boy frowned and looked at the unconscious Jack, feeling a little detested.

He and his sister had become slaves, and all he could do was protect her and let her stay safe, and not

freeze to death.

The law of survival on the snow plain was that cruel and simple.

If he had to protect another person, especially an adult, he didn't know if he was capable of doing it or

not.

When the boy was thinking in silence.

The girl wiped the mucus from her nose, her pure and clear eyes filled with tears, and said pitifully,

"Brother, please. Mum taught us to be kind-hearted. Now that mum and dad are not here anymore, and

we have already become like this, he's also the same as us. If we don't help him, he's going to die."

“Kind-hearted?”

The boy's heart ached painfully, and he suddenly showed a detested face. He scolded the little girl,

"Amanda, we are here right now because of our kindness! There is no kindness in the big snow plains.

Come back right now!"

“Brother…”

Amanda was still begging.

But the boy's face was furious, "Come here, right now!"

Facing her stern and irrefutable brother, tears started rolling out from the corner of Amanda's eyes. She

didn't dare to say anything else and moved slowly towards the crowd of children.

As Amanda approached her brother, the boy suddenly drew his hands out and pulled her to the centre.

He hugged her, attempting to pass her some warmth, then said deeply, "Amanda, remember, don't be

too kind-hearted. It won't do you any good. Father and mother were too kind-hearted, and that's why

our village got defeated."

His words were strong and heavy, full of resentment and aversion.

As he was talking, the boy's eyes reddened. He clenched his teeth and said, "Amanda, when we reach

The Hun Royal Palace, you have to stay alive. No matter what happens, you must keep yourself alive.

Brother will come and find you and save you. I will find a way to get rid of our slave status."

“Ok, brother, I promise you.”

Amanda laid her little head in her brother's arms. "Amanda will wait for brother and bring Amanda back

home, back to where we buried father and mother.

“Okay.”

The boy gave her a short response, but tears gushed out from his reddened eyes, and his lips were

trembling violently.

He's the brother, so after their parents passed away, it's his responsibility to take care of his sister.

And that's why he suppressed all his fears so that his sister could depend on him without being afraid.

But he also understood that once they reached The Hun Royal Palace, they would be separated from

each other.

And by that time, before he could locate her, he had no way to protect her.

“Brother, he's really going to die."

Suddenly, Amanda, who was in his arms said, "Can you please save him? Isn't it a good thing if

everyone is fine in this prison cage?"

"There's nothing good with it. If he dies, just let him die. I only need you to stay alive!"

The boy's voice was still very determined.

Amanda kept silent.

The boy looked at the other children around him, "Everyone come over. If we huddle together, we can

still live, if not we are all going to freeze to death."

All the children huddled together in the middle.

But Amanda was still looking through the tiny gap and fixed her gaze at the unconscious Jack.

She knew that if everyone huddled together, the probability of freezing to death would be minor. This

was common knowledge in the snow plains. Even for the child who was at the most outer circle could

be in danger, the probability of death would be still minor.

But for Jack, who was already injured and lying on the floor alone, he would easily freeze to death if he

could not keep warm.

"Brother, why don't I go and accompany the man over there?

Amanda suddenly said, "I don't want to see him die. Amanda don't want to see any more dead bodies.

Amanda has already seen too many dead bodies. Father, mother, and all my uncle aunties... sob..."

At the end of her sentence, Amanda suddenly wept.

"Don't go, listen to brother, you shall not go!"

The boy's eyes were red, held his tears, and was firm with his decision.

The children around Amanda also cried when they heard her wailing sounds.

After all, they were just young children. After their village was slaughtered, they had been suppressing

their fear in their heart.

And with Amanda's crying sound, it seemed as though they had also found an emotional outlet for

themselves.

The slave convoy men were irritated by the crying sounds.

The convoy leader at the front was annoyed. He instantly turned his head back and scolded angrily,

"Stop crying! If you cry again, I'm going to kill all of you!"

"Boss, the girl in the prison cage wanted the other children to huddle around the man to keep him

warm, but her brother didn't allow her."

One of his companions quickly came up to him and reported.

“Keep him warm?”

The convoy leader hesitated for a short while, then nodded, "That's right, in this snowy weather, he's

going to freeze to death. If he dies, we will not be able to sell him off. Get the kids over there, if we can

keep him alive, we can at least earn some money."

“Okay boss.”

The slave convoy men started to whip the crowd of child.

At this point, even Amanda's brother felt helpless.

As the convoy team scolded and shouted.

Amanda quickly squeezed out of the crowd and rushed towards Jack's side.

The rest of the children didn't dare to resist, they stopped crying, and everyone gushed over to Jack's

side.

In the end, the boy let out a helpless sigh. He went out, opened a path in between the crowd of

children, pulled Amanda to the centre, and sat beside Jack who was also in the centre.
