The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 73
At that moment, everything was shocked as they all gazed at Jason. His words made everyone freeze in their position. They couldn't believe what they just heard. How could the painting be fake?Roy couldn't hold it in, and he burst out laughing. “Jason or whatever you call yourself, you're out of your mind!” He shouted while still laughing. “How can you say that Camilla's grandfather bought a fake painting? Are you saying that the Joseph family, one of the wealthiest families around, is displaying a fake painting on their wall for everyone to see? That's ridiculous! You probably haven't seen many expensive paintings in your entire life, so you think this one is fake.”Camilla’s grandfather at that moment frowned. He wasn’t happy with what Jason said. His eyes narrowed as he looked at Jason, trying to understand why he would make such an outrageous claim, and the manner in which he said it speaks a lot. He looks so confident, and he doesn't look like someone who doesn't know what he
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre Chapter 74
The room was filled with tension. As Jason’s words hung in the air, it kept ringing in each of their minds, making everyone pause. All eyes turned to the photo he had just revealed to be fake. Jason opened the picture that was sent to him and said calmly.“Here, take a look at it; this will show you I wasn't lying and saying the truth; I saw this same picture in the heavenly box, and it was the real one.”At that moment, everyone immediately stepped forward as they looked at the picture. It showed a group of people standing in front of a famous painting, but the most shocking part was the man standing right in the center. It was the head of the management, the same man who guided Jason and his friends around the mayor's office earlier that day. The discovery sent a wave of surprise through the room as their eyes were focused on the picture.Camila’s eyes widened as she stared at the photo closely. Her family was just as stunned as she was. “How did you get this?”Camila's voice tr

Hearing what Roy said, the room was filled with nervous tension as everyone watched Jason and his actions with bated breath. They couldn't believe he's still bold and trying to prove a useless point that doesn't exist. However, Camila’s grandfather couldn’t help but chuckle. Though there was a flicker of anger in his eyes, he was disappointed in Camilla. He thought she would have the right mindset to pick someone who is well-to-do and comes from a great family, but she then decided to introduce a loser to him, someone who doesn't have respect. He didn’t show his disappointment openly, but the tightness in his jaw was a clear sign of how angry he was.His voice was steady but laced with disbelief, and it cut through the silence. “This is what you planned to prove, Jason? This trick? This was all done at the audition house; it was done by a professional that has been doing it for years, even before you were born, and it was proven real! , but you came into the house and uttered nons
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 76
Camila's grandfather stood there, staring at the fake painting, his face pale and his hands trembling. He couldn’t believe it. The painting he had cherished and spent so much money on was a fake.At that moment, his disbelief quickly turned into anger, and his jaw clenched as he reached for his phone. “I’m calling the agency in charge of this crap!!”He snapped, his voice filled with anger. “They need to be held accountable for selling fake art work and claiming it was real.”But before he could dial the number, Jason stepped forward, gently placing a hand on the old man's arm. “Please, don’t”Jason said calmly, his eyes soft and calculative.“Let me handle this. I will make sure your money is refunded, and I will bring those responsible to justice. But if you call them now, it might get out of control, and I don’t want Camila or anyone else to think badly of me as the guy that created the mess.”Jason said all of that because he doesn't want Camilla's father to escalate the situat

Everyone gazed at the servant with a curious face, they didn't know what he was going to say.At that moment the servant's face became pale even more as everyone's gaze was focused on him; his voice started trembling as he spoke again.“Sir, there's something wrong with the dog. Camila's grandfather's dog is very sick, and it needs urgent attention.”Camila’s grandfather’s eyes widened in shock hearing the news about his loyal dog, who had been with him for years; he's a member of the family, and everyone loves him.“What do you mean, sick?” He asked, his voice filled with worry. His heart raced, and he felt a sudden tightness in his chest.“We have to go see him right now!”Everyone at that moment was also saddened hearing the news; they couldn't allow him to die.Roy, who had been standing nearby, quickly stepped forward, putting a reassuring hand on Camila's grandfather's shoulder. He knows how important the dog is to him, and he's going to do everything possible to save him. “L
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 78
Jason's words of accusations hung in the air like a heavy cloud, making the roon feel smaller and more suffocating. Camilla’s uncle shifted uncomfortably; he had been standing there all along without saying anything, but the recent development had prompted him to say something now. He glanced at Roy with a suspicious look. and before he could say anything Camila Uttered “Roy” She began, her voice filled with anger.“You said this was your first time here. How could you have known about the dog’s condition so quickly? and you knew the perfect drugs to give him without you even asking questions if the dog had developed this issue before now.”Roy’s hands started trembling, and as he clenched them into his fists to stop the shaking, he couldn't believe the bastard Jason saw through his plans, and he just exposed him, and now everyone's eyes are on him.At that moment he could feel sweat trickling down his neck, his heart pounding fast like a drum in his chest. He didn't know what to
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 79
Upon hearing Jason's words Roy's heart started pounding in his chest even more, each beat echoing louder in his ears. His hands were clammy, and he could feel the cold sweat running down his back. If the dog dies, a real vet will come to check it, and then everything will fall apart as to the real cause of the death since he had not fully said he poisoned the dog yet he only admitted he only wanted to help. He was terrified. His mind raced as he tried to think of a way out. He glanced around the room again, hoping for some kind of escape, but there was none.He then turned and walked closer to Camilla’s uncle, his voice started shaking. “We need to do something now”he said, his eyes wide with fear. “You have to help me, or we’re both in trouble, if the dog dies”Camilla's uncle wasn’t doing much better either; he was just being tough towards Roy because he doesn't want anyone to think he's involved in all this. immediately his face went pale, and his hands trembled as he looked at
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 80
Camilla's uncle stood in the room trembling. He had no choice but to confess, because if his father find out after the dog die he's going to be in bigger trouble. The truth is out already, and there was no way to hide it anymore. Camilla's grandfather was still kneeling beside the dog, his face red with anger and frustration seeing his beloved friend in pain and he might die if the vet doesn't come quickly. Camilla's uncle said with a low voice.“ Father I'm sorry for what I'm about to say”His father gazed at him, he was curious, wanting to know what he's going to say.“ It was a poison, I gave him a little bit of it so Roy would steal the show and impress you and everyone, i never thought it would get to this stage”He immediately went on his knees.“ Father I'm sorry, I'm so sorry ”At that moment his father gazed at him with dead eyes, his eyes were filled with rage, he couldn't believe what he just heard.“How could you do this!!” he shouted at Camilla's uncle. “How could you

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
