The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 113
At that moment the young master’s breath hitched as his eyes caught a glimpse of the dark figure entering the restaurant. The unmistakable black uniform adorned with the crimson insignia of the Hades Clan sent a cold shiver down his spine. Immediately his bravado dissolved in an instant.He dropped to his knees, his body trembling as he pressed his forehead against the cold, hard floor. His voice barely a whisper, he muttered to himself.“Don’t look. Don’t even think about looking. One glance, and it’s over.”The lights flickered for a moment, then came back on, illuminating the chaos frozen in time. The gang members, who had been so full of aggression moments ago, turned pale as they fully registered the presence of the Hades Clan. Their leader stood at the front, his gaze cold and devoid of mercy.“What—” one of the gang members stammered, his voice breaking. “What are they doing here?”At that moment another gang member dropped to his knees, his hands raised in surrender. “Please,

At that moment Summer and Derek exchanged a quiet glance, the weight of the evening’s events still heavy on their shoulders. Without saying much, they turned and began walking toward the dormitory, their movements subdued. The tension hung between them like an unspoken truth, each lost in their own thoughts about what had transpired.Still they couldn't believe what they saw today.Their footsteps echoed faintly, the sound gradually swallowed by the stillness of the night. Jason stood motionless, watching them disappear down the dimly lit path, his calm demeanor masking the storm of thoughts in his mind.As their presence faded into the distance, the silence grew heavier, almost oppressive. The cool night air carried with it an eerie stillness, broken only by the faint rustle of leaves in the breeze. At that moment Jason’s sharp senses picked up on it first—the subtle crunch of gravel underfoot, coming from behind him.His body tensed instinctively, his muscles coiled like a spring.

After arriving Jason stepped out from the shadows, his presence silent but suffocating. The faint light of the room flickered, casting ominous shapes on the walls as he approached Roy, who was already trembling. Blood smeared the corner of Roy’s mouth, his defiant mask shattered into raw fear. At that moment he scrambled backward until his back hit the wall, leaving nowhere else to run.“Jason, please,” Roy stammered, his voice shaking. “You don’t have to do this. I—I’ll leave Camila alone. She’s yours, okay? You win!”At that moment Jason’s footsteps were slow, deliberate, each one intensify Roy’s desperation. He crouched slightly, leveling his cold, unyielding gaze at the man cowering before him. “You think this is about Camila?” Jason’s voice was low, steady, and carried a weight that made Roy flinch. “It’s more than that.”Upon hearing what Jason just said.Roy blinked rapidly, shaking his head. “I—I didn’t mean for things to go this far. I didn’t know—”Immediately Jason cut h

However Jason’s focus remained sharp as he practiced, the ball leaving his hands with precision and grace. Shot after shot swished through the net, each one cleaner than the last. The coach, standing on the sidelines, clapped his hands together in approval.“Excellent work, Jason,” the coach called out, his voice carrying across the court. “You’ve got a rhythm today—keep it up!”Hearing what the Coach just said.Jason nodded, wiping the sweat from his brow as the other boys began gathering for team drills. He joined them, seamlessly transitioning into the practice routine. The camaraderie on the court was thin, however, and the tension became palpable when the conversation turned.At that moment one of the boys smirked as he passed the ball to Jason. “You’re lucky the other day, you know that?” he said, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “Camila sticking out for you like that? Unbelievable.”Immediately another chimed in, his voice louder, his words harsher. “But don’t let it get to y

At that moment the suited man extended the pen toward Jason, his smile tight with the smugness of someone who thought he’d already won. “Here,” he said, his voice laced with condescension. “Sign this, and your life changes today. Don’t waste this chance.”However Jason didn’t even glance at the pen. Instead he walked towards his bag.Everyone eyes where on his as he reached into his bag, pulling out a worn notebook. His movements were calm, deliberate, almost dismissive. He handed the notebook to the man and said evenly, “I’m not interested.”Upon hearing what Jason just said. The coach’s smile froze mid-smirk. He stared at Jason as if he hadn’t heard him right. “What did you just say?”Jason tilted his head slightly, meeting the coach’s disbelieving eyes. “I said I’m not interested. I play basketball because I enjoy it, not because I’m looking for a paycheck. Besides…” Jason’s lips curved into a faint smirk of his own, “if I wanted to get paid, you wouldn’t be able to afford

“Ten chances each,” the captain said, his voice filled with bravado as he positioned himself in front of the basket. “Let’s see if you’ve got what it takes.”Jason simply nodded, his eyes locked on the captain, his focus razor-sharp. The court buzzed with quiet murmurs, everyone eager to see how this unexpected challenge would unfold. The stage was set, and neither Jason nor the captain intended to back down.The tension in the gym was palpable as the captain stepped onto the court, his jaw set and his determination written all over his face. He grabbed the ball and gave Jason a cold smirk. “Don’t think I’ll go easy on you,” he said, his voice loud enough for everyone to hear.However Jason didn’t respond. He simply positioned himself, his stance calm and ready, his focus razor-sharp.At that moment the captain dribbled the ball with precision, trying to fake out Jason with quick movements and sharp turns. But Jason didn’t flinch. Every time the captain tried to drive past him, Jas
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 119
Upon hearing what Jason just said.The captain faltered for a moment, the room growing quieter as everyone waited to see how Jason would respond. But Jason didn’t give them the satisfaction of anger or defensiveness. Instead, he picked up the ball, spun it on his finger with ease, and walked back to the court, leaving the players and their insecurities behind.They could mock him all they want, but Jason know didn't need their validation. He knew who he was, and that was enough.At that moment the buzz of excitement swept through the gym as the doors opened and Camila entered, her presence like a sudden gust of fresh air. Heads turned, conversations halted, and the boys quickly huddled together, their earlier bravado fading into awe.“Camila’s here!” one of them whispered, nudging the others. “She came to watch us train. She must love the game.”Another smirked, trying to brush off his nervousness. “Yeah, right. She probably just wanted to see real talent.”Camila, however, didn’t

Seeing what Just happened Jason looked between the two of them, slightly caught off guard by the sudden shift in energy. He stayed quiet, letting the moment unfold.Summer laughed softly, her earlier hesitation melting away. “Yeah, i knew we went to the same school, but I guess it just never happened. You’re usually so hard to find.”Camila shrugged, grinning. “That’s true. I do keep to myself most of the time.”Then, as if remembering something, Camila’s grin turned sly. “Wait a second,” she said, her eyes narrowing playfully at Summer. “Wasn’t it you who recommended Jason to me?”Jason blinked in surprise, his gaze shifting to Summer. “Recommended me?” he repeated.Summer blushed faintly but laughed nervously. “I might’ve mentioned you once or twice,” she admitted, avoiding Jason’s gaze. “Camila asked for advice about a boy, and, well, I told her you were… different from other guys.”“Different?” Jason asked, raising an eyebrow.At that moment Summer gave him a look, half-apol

Zane didn’t waste a second, he tapped the answer button and immediately switched the phone to loudspeaker, letting the call ring out clearly through the heavy silence of the room.The phone clicked, and his brother’s voice came through the line, low and steady.Zane straightened his posture slightly, holding the phone closer."Good evening, brother," Zane said respectfully, his tone polite but carrying a slight tension underneath.There was a quick pause before he continued."Um... about that report I gave you," Zane said carefully, glancing quickly around at everyone in the room."You remember... the issue about those thugs?"His brother made a low sound of acknowledgment from the other end, Zane pushed further, making sure everyone could hear him clearly."You were the one that handled it, right?" Zane asked."You were the one that chased the thugs away... right?"For a few seconds, there was nothing but silence on the other end of the call.Zane’s fingers tightened a little around

Emma wasn’t finished.Her emotions were pouring out now, raw and unstoppable, she took another shaky breath, her voice cracking with anger and deep hurt."But we are just praising him, right?" Emma said bitterly, her hands trembling as she gestured wildly."When I got into my school... well, because my school isn't as big as Jason’s... and it’s not as tough as Jason’s... you just cast me aside."Her voice grew louder, and the words tumbled out faster now."You don’t even listen to me anymore," she said, her heart pounding hard against her ribs."You don't do anything concerning me. You just... you just let it be like I'm all alone... like I don’t know what I'm doing!"She wiped angrily at the tears beginning to gather at the corners of her eyes, her chest heaving."You’re so biased!" Emma cried out, her voice filled with a raw kind of pain."I don't even understand it!"She shook her head slowly, her heart breaking all over again."Why would you be taking care of a stranger better tha
CHAPTER 255
At that moment, Emma felt her whole body heat up with anger.Her face tightened, and her hands balled into fists at her sides without her even realizing it.She couldn't believe what she just heard come out of her mother's mouth.It was like a slap in the face—not just to her, but especially to Zane.How could she? Emma thought bitterly.Her mother wasn't just being careless—she was openly throwing jabs at Zane without any hesitation.Instead of appreciating Zane, instead of standing there and telling him a simple 'thank you' for everything he had done, her mother was here, picking sides—making Jason feel like some almighty hero, like Jason was the only one worth recognizing.Emma’s chest tightened with frustration.This isn’t right... it’s not right at all, she thought.From the look on her face, from the stiffness of her shoulders, it was clear she couldn’t stand it one bit.She clenched her jaw hard, forcing herself to breathe for a second, but the anger wouldn’t stop boiling insid

At that moment, Madam Victoria opened her mouth, about to say something, her face already showing signs of defending Emma’s fiancé.But before she could even get a word out, Zane stepped forward, his voice firm and cutting through the room."That’s not even true," Zane said coldly, his eyes locking onto her."I can categorically tell you, Madam Victoria, that Emma’s boyfriend didn’t do anything."The words hung heavy in the air, the tension thickening.Zane crossed his arms, not caring about the uncomfortable stares around him."He’s just bragging," Zane continued sharply, his voice dripping with disdain. "Trying to steal credit for something he didn’t even do."Madam Victoria’s lips parted slightly, as if wanting to argue, but the way Zane spoke—so direct and certain—left her hesitating."I don’t like people like this," Zane said, shaking his head in disappointment. "The kind of people who want to boast with the little thing they have... when deep down, they know the truth."His voic

Emma folded her arms across her chest, her expression stiff with anger. Her voice was sharp as she muttered under her breath, "He doesn't deserve my thanks."Jason, who had been quietly watching her, let out a soft, almost tired chuckle. His eyes stayed calm, but there was a shadow of hurt buried deep inside them—a hurt he didn't bother hiding anymore."Okay," Jason said simply, his voice low but steady. "I know you're still bitter. That much is clear."Emma's fingers twitched at her sides, but she said nothing. She just stared at him, her jaw tightening.Jason continued, his tone slow and deliberate, almost as if he had been carrying this inside for too long. "You've always been like this," he said, his words slicing through the heavy air between them. "You've never liked me. You've made that obvious from the start."Emma's nostrils flared. Her chest rose and fell faster, the anger rising, boiling inside her."So," Jason shrugged lightly, as if brushing off a heavy weight. "Why shoul

Madam Victoria stood there, her heart swelling with pride as she watched the scene unfold. The weight that had pressed on her chest moments ago seemed to lift, replaced by pure, genuine joy. She couldn't stop smiling. Jason had handled everything so perfectly — calm, steady, and yet so commanding. It was as if he had been born to take charge.Around her, a few staff members had also gathered, and whispers of admiration began to ripple through the room."Jason did really well," one of them said in a hushed voice, as if still processing the sheer skill with which Jason had diffused the situation."The way he just handled everything... it's like he didn't even blink," another added, clearly impressed.Madam Victoria nodded proudly, her eyes glistening slightly. She couldn't hold back her happiness anymore. "That boy..." she said softly, almost to herself. "He is something else."Meanwhile, the young man who had come in earlier — the one who had been anxiously hovering — quietly realized

The boss's face contorted with a mixture of rage and satisfaction, his earlier fear now subsumed by the confidence that comes with imminent reinforcement. His eyes narrowed to slits as he watched Victoria's desperate attempt to silence Jason."That's right," he snarled, jabbing a finger in their direction. "She knows what's coming. Maybe you should listen to her, tough guy. Start minding how you talk to me—if you want to keep that tongue in your head."Jason remained still beneath Victoria's trembling hands, his eyes never leaving the boss's face. There was something in his gaze—not fear, but a calculating intensity—that made the boss shift uncomfortably despite his advantage."Two minutes," the boss announced, checking his watch with exaggerated care. "Time for me to get comfortable for the show."He surveyed the wreckage of the shop, stepping carefully over shattered glass and splintered wood. In the corner, mostly untouched by the earlier violence, stood a single lacquered chair—on
CHAPTER 250
The silence expanded like poison gas, filling every corner of the room. The boss's pleas hung in the air, unanswered. The visitor—the connection to Victoria—remained unmoved, his expression a perfect mask."Please," the boss's voice cracked further, desperation clawing at his throat. "Look at me. Say something."But the man's eyes drifted past him, surveying the room with clinical detachment. The boss might as well have been invisible."I have money," he whispered, pressing his forehead to the cold floor, dignity abandoned. "Not just what we took from Maya. More. Much more. In accounts overseas. Properties in three countries. It's all Victoria's if she wants it."From the corner, Jason watched his once-feared boss dissolve into a puddle of fear. He'd never seen the man like this—the boss who'd once broken a man's fingers one by one for shorting him fifty dollars.The boss turned his head, seeking support from his men. Their eyes slid away, no one willing to meet his gaze."You," he ba

Donovan racked his brain, sifting through countless faces from board meetings, charity galas, and political fundraisers. The stranger's features stirred something in his memory—prominent enough to recognize but elusive enough to frustrate."What's going on here?" The newcomer's voice cut through the tension, deep and measured with an authority that seemed to resonate through the restaurant.Before anyone could respond, Victoria rushed forward, her professional composure crumbling as she approached the stranger. Her eyes glistened with unshed tears, hands trembling as she reached for his sleeve."Please, you have to help us," she pleaded, her voice breaking. "They're bullying my son. These men—" she gestured wildly at Donovan and his associates, "—they're extorting money from us. 'Security fees,' they call it."She drew a shuddering breath, the words tumbling out faster now. "We never asked for their 'protection.' They just showed up one day, demanding payment for the mosque community—
