The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 49
Jason was still on his phone when it vibrated; it was a message from the mayor.Immediately he opened it.[Master, it's done]Jason smiled because he doesn't want Summer to stress herself out. She has been working tirelessly for this, and he doesn't want her to feel disappointed.Summer had been waiting anxiously for the message that would confirm their hotel booking for the weekend; she has been trying since yesterday, but for some reason she doesn't understand they have not sent her any confirmation. She knew how much this outing meant to everyone, especially Jason, who had gone through a lot recently, but for something she doesn't understand, why the booking hasn't been confirmed yet.With a worried face.Her phone notification finally sounded, her phone buzzing softly in her hand. She gazed at her phone screen. It was a message, and the screen displayed a simple message.[Booking Accepted]. At that moment, a wave of relief washed over her.Summer took a deep breath and decided i

They all greeted each other before Summer Said.“I want you to meet my friends. This is Emily, Lily, and Grace.”Jason smiles warmly as he nods to each of the girls.“Nice to meet you all. I’m Jason.”Derek nodded in greeting.“Hey, I’m Derek.”Emily with a shy smile, glancing at Derek.“Hi… nice to meet you guys.”Lily with a confident smile said.“Hi there!”Grace started grinning mischievously.“Hey, guys!”Summer at that moment continued as he pointed at Derek.“So, Derek here is a martial artist. He’s been training for years.”Emily eyes wide with admiration, turning to Derek.“Wow, really? That’s amazing! What kind of martial arts do you practice?”Derek was a bit modest. He knows he's not that good at it, but he was forced to answer.“I mostly focus on Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai. It’s been a big part of my life for a while now.”Emily smiled.Lily then turned to Jason, curiously, “Summer mentioned you’re in the art department, Jason. What do you specialize in?”Jason sa
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 51
Jason stood just outside side the hotel, his eyes narrowing as he spotted Robert walking in with Natalie. The sight of her made Jason’s stomach twist in knots. Natalie wasn’t just some girl; she was Jade’s best friend, and Jade was Jason’s ex-girlfriend. To see Natalie with Robert was a shock to him; he wasn't expecting to see her here and with someone like Robert. At that moment, his mind immediately raced back to the incident that had led to this moment.Natalie had been punished by the mayor for lying about Jason during a clash at a restaurant.Her punishment involved working overtime at Mr. Landon’s restaurant. But now that Mr. Landon had been tragically killed, and the restaurant was temporarily shut down, Jason couldn’t help but wonder if that’s why she was here now. Still, the thought that she had seemingly stepped into Jade’s place so quickly made his heart ache.Jade had taken a leave from school after the humiliation Jason had caused her, and now it seemed Robert was using
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 52
Summer's heart sank when the front desk clerk informed her that the booking number wasn't valid. She stood there, frozen for a moment; the shock was evident on her face. Her hand, still clutching her phone, trembled slightly as she stared at the screen in disbelief. This can't be happening. She had been so confident, so sure that everything was in order, that she got the confirmation message on her phone. Beside her, Robert’s loud and mocking laughter broke the silence. He doubled over, clutching his stomach as he sneered at Summer. “I told you it was an error earlier, Summer! You should have known better, never to cross paths with me. Now, pay up. I want my money.”Summer’s face flushed with embarrassment and anger. She wasn’t the type to make mistakes like this, and the idea of handing over $100,000 to Robert made her blood boil. But she wasn’t ready to give up. Not yet, not when she got the confirmation on her phone.“There must be some mistake,” Summer insisted, her voice shaki
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 53
The man at the front desk was visibly taken aback when he saw the ticket number. His eyes widened as he stared at the screen, the shock evident on his face. He had been working at this prestigious hotel for years, and in all that time, he had never once seen a booking for the Heavenly Box. It was the most exclusive and luxurious suite in the entire establishment, reserved only for the most elite guests—if it was ever booked at all. And now, here it was, a booking right in front of him, and it was booked by a young girl who looked like a university student.He finally managed to find his voice, though it was tinged with disbelief. “The Heavenly Box” He murmured, as if testing the words in his mouth. He looked up at Summer, then at Robert and the others. They were all frozen in their place, stunned by what they had just heard.Robert, who had been so full of arrogance just moments ago, now looked completely dumbfounded. His eyes darted from the man to Summer, and then back to the man
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 54
Robert’s mind was spinning immediately; he couldn't believe he will have to pay such an amount of money to the bastards. At that moment, disbelief was etched on his face as he tried to process what had just happened. How could Summer and his group of friends, who he had always looked down on, can afford something as extravagant as the Heavenly Box? It didn’t make sense. Anger and confusion warred within him as he tried to understand the situation, but the more he thinks about it, the more confused he becomes. Immediately he gazes at Jason, who demands an explanation for all of this. His voice was shaky, his usual arrogance now laced with desperation, knowing he made a bet, and he would be so humiliated to back out of it now.“This has to be some kind of joke!” Robert exclaimed, his eyes darting between Jason and the hotel staff. “There’s no way Summer could afford this! I want answers—now! I'm no fool; I want an answer immediately.”But before Robert could continue his words, a grou
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 55
Upon hearing the man's words, the atmosphere in the Heavenly Box was thick with shock and disbelief; they couldn't believe what they just heard. The girls couldn’t wrap their minds around the idea that one of the boys they had been casually hanging out with was capable of arranging such an extravagant experience.Their eyes darted from one boy to another again, each of them trying to guess who it might be. However, the more they looked, the more confused they became; none of the boys seemed to have money or come from a rich family; Summer never mentioned such to them.They all look confused.Jason remained calm, his face betraying nothing, though inside he couldn’t help but feel a slight satisfaction at their reactions; he knew something would happen, and that is the reason he doesn't want anyone to know he was the one.It's better this way everyone should keep on guessing, and eventually none of them would have any other choice but to respect everyone here because they don't know wh
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 56
By the time they reached the last painting, the group was fully aware of Jason’s knowledge and confidence. The man turned to him again; he was expecting Jasi to give the answer regardless; it's too easy for him.“And the year for this final piece?”“1776.” Jason responded, his voice calm as he smiled, knowing he just won $40,000The man nodded one last time. “Absolutely correct.”The girls looked at Jason with newfound respect, realizing there was more to him than they had initially thought. The admiration in their eyes was unmistakable.When the last painting was identified, the man smiled broadly. “Congratulations, Jason,”he said, handing him the prize money.“You’ve correctly answered every question. Ten thousand dollars for each, as promised.”Jason smiled as he accepted the money, not flaunting his victory, but simply nodding in appreciation. He knew this would only solidify his status among his friends and the girls. It wasn’t just about the money; it was about showing that

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
CHAPTER 249
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—
CHAPTER 248
Donovan's carefully constructed facade crumbled as rage rose like bile in his throat. His face flushed crimson, the professional veneer dissolving into something primal and unrestrained."Let me make myself perfectly clear, Mr. Takeda," he snarled, slamming his palm against the conference table. The water glasses jumped, sending tiny splashes across the polished surface. "I will repeat myself just this once."He leaned forward, looming over Jason, who remained unnervingly calm in his seat. The red ring gleamed on the young man's finger as he casually tapped it against the armrest."If you don't withdraw your proposal and sign over your patents by close of business tomorrow," Donovan continued, voice dropping to a dangerous whisper, "I will personally ensure that you are financially and professionally obliterated. No one will touch you or your work ever again."A vein throbbed visibly at Donovan's temple as he straightened. "I've sat quietly through your insolence long enough. Did you
CHAPTER 247
The Dragon's disdainful assessment hung in the air for a long moment before he turned to the boss, his expression hardening."So you called me here... for a boy?" The question carried a dangerous undercurrent, like ice forming over deep water.The boss shifted uncomfortably in Victoria's grandfather's chair, the legs creaking beneath him. Sweat beaded at his temples despite the evening chill."He's more trouble than he looks," the boss stammered, his earlier confidence evaporating under The Dragon's penetrating gaze. "Just... just deal with this trash. I'm tired of wasting time." His voice found some of its former strength as he continued, gesturing around the shop with angry sweeps of his hand. "I want this place destroyed. Demolished. Scattered. Torn to shreds."The Dragon regarded him with the cool appraisal of a banker considering a high-risk loan. "As long as you're paying me very, very well..." He left the sentence unfinished, the implication clear. "I have no problem with it."
CHAPTER 246
The phone barely rang once before a gruff voice answered, the sound so clear in the silent room that it seemed to hover in the air between them."Boss." Not a question. A statement."Dragon, I need your presence immediately." The boss's voice had lost its theatrical quality, replaced by sharp urgency. His eyes never left Jason's face as he spoke, searching for any flicker of recognition, any hint of fear. "The noodle shop across from Sullivan's. Now."A beat of silence from the other end. Then: "Details.""Some punk named Jason thinks he runs things now." The boss's knuckles whitened around the phone. "He needs to be taught the kind of lesson only you can deliver. Make sure he pays. For everything."Another pause, shorter this time. "Twenty minutes.""Not good enough. Now." The boss's voice cracked slightly on the last word. A heavy sigh crackled through the connection. "Ten."The call ended abruptly. The boss slowly lowered the phone, his lips curling into something between a grimac
CHAPTER 245
The smoke of violence still hung in the air, mingling with the acrid scent of spilled liquor and sweat. Glass crunched beneath the boss's polished shoes as he surveyed the damage with uncomprehending eyes."What are you waiting for?" the boss barked at his men, who were slumped against overturned tables, clutching their injuries. "Get up! Wreck the rest of this place! Show them we mean business!"Rico, holding his stomach where a particularly brutal blow had landed, exchanged bewildered glances with Manny, whose eye was already swelling shut. Neither moved.Jason stepped forward, the fluorescent lights casting harsh shadows across his face. His knuckles were raw, but his posture remained unwavering. The room fell silent except for the rhythmic drip of liquor from a shattered bottle onto the floor."You don't get it, do you?" Jason's voice was dangerously soft, a whisper that somehow filled the entire room. "Your boys already tried. Look at them."The boss's eyes darted around, finally
CHAPTER 244
The tension was cut by the sound of the door swinging open. A reverent hush fell over the room as a figure stepped through the threshold, his presence commanding immediate attention.It was him. The boss.His tailored suit hung on his frame with perfect precision, not a wrinkle in sight. Gold cufflinks caught the light as he surveyed the scene before him, his expression shifting from mild curiosity to barely contained fury.Jason's eyes narrowed, studying the man who wielded such power that even his name seemed to inspire fear. He looked... ordinary. Dangerous, yes, but human.The boss's gaze swept across the destruction—the overturned furniture, the shattered glass, his men in various states of disarray—before settling on the confrontation at the center of the room. Something cold and calculating flickered behind his eyes."What," he said, his voice deceptively soft, "is the meaning of this?"The man who had been threatening Jason immediately released his grip and took a step back, s
CHAPTER 243
Jason stood his ground, unflinching as the tension in the room crystalized into something dangerous. The man who had been sprawled on the floor scrambled to his feet, his finger jabbing accusingly toward Jason."Him! He's the one who defied your orders, sir!"The man turned slowly, his expensive suit barely concealing the coiled violence beneath. His eyes found Jason's—cold, calculating, the kind of eyes that had witnessed things most people couldn't imagine. The room seemed to cool by several degrees."So..." The word slithered out, dangerously soft. "You're the one who did this to my man."Jason didn't flinch. Didn't blink. He let the silence stretch between them, thick and challenging. Madam Victoria stood slightly behind him, her breathing shallow, her eyes darting between the two men."I want your boss," Jason finally said, his voice steady despite the pounding in his chest. "Here. On his knees. Apologizing to Madam Victoria for this disrespect."A muscle twitched in the man's ja
