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

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

    Jason looked at Camilla seriously. “I have one condition” he said, his voice firm. Camilla waited, her heart started beating fast. What could he possibly want? She doesn't want to lose out on Jason because she could see her grandfather already liked him and it would be wrong of her to look for someone else at that moment.She gazed at Jason, a curious face, her ears wide open, she prayed he shouldn't demand for something ridiculous.“I want you to pretend to be my girlfriend too”Jason said, his eyes not leaving hers. “I don’t have any girlfriend in the university, and if you can pretend to be mine, then I’ll pretend to be yours in front of your grandfather. No feelings involved, no touching involved. Just for names only. Let’s just pretend.”Camilla was stunned for a moment. She blinked a few times, trying to process what Jason had just said. He was willing to help her, but on one condition—one that she hadn’t expected she thought would be more money or something ridiculous. “Yo

    Jason stared at his phone in shock. The live video of Summer being tortured made his blood boil. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. How could Jade do this not just to anyone but summer. How could she be so cruel? Jason’s hands trembled as he watched, his anger rising inside him like a storm.“Stop the video, Jade!” Jason demanded, his voice shaking with fury. “This isn’t right! You need to stop now!”But Jade didn’t agree. She just laughed on the other end of the call, her voice cold and uncaring. “Why should I stop?” she sneered. “Summer deserves this, and you can’t do anything about it, I want you to watch and feel the pain you inflated on me”Jason couldn’t take it anymore. His heart pounded, and he felt a wave of panic and anger wash over him. Without thinking, he cut the call. He had to do something, and he had to do it fast.

You're all going to pay for this!” he shouted, his voice echoing through the cold scene.his lips tightened even more as none of the police officers listened to him again.The car drove off slowly as they passed Jade and her family, who stood watching with smug expressions all focused on Jason.Jason at that moment locked deadly gaze with Jade.

    The detective immediately leaned back staring at the direction of the door, his eyes widened as it were focused on Robert’s father, the City council with a smirk. Jason sat quietly in his chair, his face stoic, his eyes focused on the floor. He didn’t react to the detective's earlier attitude, not even when Robert’s father walked in, his face flushed with the urgency of summer safety that all he could think of now.“Release Jason immediately,” Robert’s father demanded, his voice firm. “The Mayor has sent me. He wants Jason out immediately.”At that moment the detective raised an eyebrow, his smirk widening into a full grin. He crossed his arms, leaning forward slightly. “The Mayor?” he chuckled, his disbelief was evident in his tone. “You expect me to believe the Mayor is interested in some local kid? How would he even know about this? You’re playing games with me, Robert, you and I know the Mayor can't be interested in this kid.”Robert’s father at that moment bristled, his

    He stared at the black grains spilling out onto his desk, his anger momentarily replaced with confusion. His mind started racing as he tried to make sense of it, but there was no logical explanation. The room fell silent, the tension thick as the detective’s confusion slowly turned back into anger.“What kind of sick game are you and your friends playing?” the detective growled, his voice low and dangerous. He looked up at Jason, his eyes narrowed into slits. “You think this is funny? Sending me black sand?”He then turned to the officer who had delivered the letters, his eyes wide with fear but he managed to hide them.“You’re sure it was just a boy? Did he say anything else? apart from just this envelope” The detective's voice was shaky, betraying his fear.The officer nodded, his own face pale and filled with worry he doesn't understand what is happening. “Yes, sir.

His entire body shook with fear and desperation as he knelt again on the floor, begging for his life. Jason watched him quietly, his expression still unreadable. His face was calm, almost eerily so, as he observed the detective's breakdown. That was what he wanted so next time would teach her to do his job properly. After a moment, Jason leaned forward slightly, his voice low but clear.“Call Jade’s family” he said.“Tell them to come to the station. If they can make it here within the next five minutes, I will leave.”immediately the detective's eyes widened with a glimmer of hope even though he knew five minutes is not that much but there is hope. without wasting anymore time he scrambled to his feet, his hands still trembling as he reached for his phone.

    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

    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—

    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

    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."

    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

    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

    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

    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
