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

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 Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 57
In the VIP ward, the atmosphere became tense, with the kind of tension that comes when you're caught somewhere you shouldn’t be. The room is usually reserved for the city's elite.The shock was mutual—Jason and his friend had not expected to see Robert and his friend dressed like cleaners; they didn't understand what was happening at that moment.Robert and his friends were also shocked to the core that they had not anticipated seeing anyone else in this room, especially not Jason and his friends; they were the last person they had anticipated to see.Robert’s eyes widened; his expression was filled with disbelief and quickly shifting to suspicion. He recognized Jason and the others as being poor, but they managed to book the heavenly box, which was still a shock; he had not fully recovered from now they are here inside the VIP room. His head was full of thought; without being told, he could tell something was wrong. Why were they here? His mind raced, trying to piece together the puz

Robert's heart pounded in his chest as Mayor George Winston entered the room. The sheer presence of the mayor, a man known for his strictness and zero tolerance for nonsense and his father being scared of him, sent a chill down Robert's spine. He had expected to encounter resistance from Jason and his group, but the mayor’s appearance was something he hadn’t anticipated at that moment. Sudden sweat covered his forehead; he didn't know what to do at that moment. Without being told, he could tell his father is going to kill him if he finds out he crossed paths with the mayor, someone he's trying to avoid by everything possible.“What the hell is the mayor doing here?” Robert whispered to himself, his voice trembling. He could feel his palms grow clammy, and his mouth went dry. The confident look he had tried to maintain crumbled instantly. His mind raced, desperately searching for a way out of this mess.Mayor Winston’s sharp gaze swept across the room, landing on each person as i

Upon hearing what Jason said, Robert's eyes squinted, his lips tightened immediately. He couldn't believe the bastard still has the guts to utter nonsense. who does he be thinks he's, not when the mayor is here, he wants to say something, but he can't.However, the mayor immediately faced Robert and friends with dead eyes. Immediately, their legs vibrated, and they walked closer to where Jason was pointing.None of them could even utter a word.They had no choice but to start cleaning the VIP room floor. They moved around quietly, their faces flushed with embarrassment. Every time they looked up, they could see Jason and the others enjoying the show from their plush seats. The humiliation was almost too much to bear, but they knew they had to do as the mayor had ordered. Robert’s hands trembled as he wiped down a table; his mind was racing with anger and frustration. He didn't want his father to hear about this, and secondly, he wanted to beat Jason so much next time, he would kee

The music played softly in the background as Jason and Summer stood on the stage, under the bright lights. The crowd below them started cheering, but Jason’s mind was elsewhere. He could feel his heart beating in his chest as he looked at Summer, unsure of what to do. He wanted to take her hand to guide her in the dance, but he hesitated. Summer has a boyfriend, and Jason didn’t want to overstep any boundaries. He doesn't want anything that would come between Summer and her boyfriend; she's a friend he really wants to keep.If things were different, if Summer didn’t have a boyfriend, he would have held her hand properly; let them enjoy the moment fully. But now he couldn't.Summer stood across from him, her eyes meeting Jason's eyes briefly before looking away. She was feeling a mix of emotions too. Deep down, she regretted lying to Jason about having a boyfriend because she knows he must be thinking about that now, and he would want to respect the boyfriend she doesn't have.Th
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 61
Upon hearing Jason's words, Summer managed to smile at Jason, her eyes sparkling with forced excitement. Deep down, she doesn't want him to go, but at the same time she can't do anything about it. Jason deserves the best, and she can't give him any of that.“Don't worry, Jason. Camilla's really nice. She'll contact you, okay? Just don't reach out to her first. Let her make the first move because I'm going to give her your number and picture; if she is interested, she will call.”Summer doesn't want a situation when Camilla would talk to Jason in a nasty manner, so it's better she calls him first.Jason nodded, feeling a mix of nerves, since summer isn't interested and the little things that just happened on the stage were just an incident and nothing more because he doesn't want to hurt Summer in any way. That was why he asked her if she's alright with it. He had always admired Camilla from afar. She was the kind of girl who seemed out of reach, like a star in the sky. But now, wit
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 62
Jason stood in the middle of the fancy store, his heart pounding like a drum in his chest. This was his first time doing this, and he could feel the weight of everyone’s eyes on him, which made him uncomfortable; the look on their faces, he could tell they were judging him. He knew they were waiting for him to make a fool of himself, so they could all laughed at him, but Jason wasn’t about to give them that satisfaction they think they are going to have.He wasn’t going to back down; no matter how much they laughed or sneered at him, he's going to get the suit he wants.Jeremy, smug grin, leaned casually against a display case, his arm draped around his girlfriend’s shoulders. “Look at him.”Jeremy said loudly, his voice dripping with sarcasm.“He’s asking for the most expensive thing in the store! Can you believe it? What a joke! He probably doesn’t even know where he is; he must be thinking here is some kind of a roadside store.”Jeremy smiled.“I tried to advise him as a friend,

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
