Mr. Landon quickly recovered from the slap, he faced his men and roared.

“What are you still doing, release him!!”

Sir George doesn't like violence, and he is the Mayor, there is no way he will folds his hand and watch him brutally assault somebody.

Dammit!!

This bastard is lucky that the Mayor showed up.

Jason was released immediately, he was starting to break free anyway, his strength seemed to be increasing every minute.

He doesn't know what is happening to him, his body seems to be packed with so much energy, surely those men won't have been able to hold him any longer.

Jason walks to the exit without looking at anybody's face; however, he plans to show the Mayor his respect.

Mr. Landon couldn't hold it anymore, Jason wasn't walking fast enough, he was delaying the Mayor's time.

“Get the hell out of here already, Bastard!!!”

George's face darkened, he would've killed Mr. Landon already if these kids weren't here, he is lucky to still be alive, and he dares insult the master again.

He angrily stepped forward to Landon and slapped him on his face, the force sent Mr. Landon to the ground, the slap was heavier than the former, and it echoed through the room.

Mr. Landon was stupefied, what did he do now, his face was red like a tomato, but he dare not ask questions.

He quickly bows his head on the floor.

“Spare me, Sir George. Please pardon my mannerless behavior”

George felt like crushing Landon down with his feet, but that will look overboard to the people around, he was lucky that these kids were around.

He turned to face Jason, he would've knelt already, but he couldn't do it because of the people's presence, and the master doesn't know who he truly is.

“What happened”

He approached Jason. He must handle the situation fully, so the master can reward him later.

Jason was surprised the Mayor cared to listen, so he explained everything to him.

George's face darkened. He turned facing Natalie.

“Come here”

Natalie's legs turned jelly, the Mayor of Ocean Berry, the Winston family, one of the most powerful families in Ocean Berry, the head of the Winston family, George Winston, is calling her.

Her heart skipped, her family are crawling babies in front of the Winston family, what is she going to do now, even the Jackson won't dare to cough in their presence, let alone a commoner family like hers.

Natalie struggled moving her legs to George, she dare not lie, the cctv camera will prove everything.

“Sir, I am sorry!”

Natalie dropped to her knees with tears streaming down from her face.

George didn't pay attention to her words, he faced the men behind him, and they handed him a pen.

He throws the pen close to Natalie.

“Sign the documents”

Natalie's heart skipped, she can't sign the documents, she can't work for free for twenty years, and it's even overtime working, she will have to quit schooling.

“Sir…, I will pay the money. I have the money with me”

George didn't put ears to her words.

“You have five seconds to decide, or you will face prison immediately. Five years is what I would arrange for you, that is the minimum”

Natalie's heart jumped, she quickly rushed to the document, everybody knows that the Mayor doesn't joke with his words, and his men were already moving to seize her.

She opens the documents and starts signing the spaces that requires her signature, her eyes capture the fee of breaking the conduct of the contract.

One billion dollars.

Her hands started shaking, what had she done.

George sounded when she was done.

“I will put somebody here to monitor you”

Natalie collapsed to the ground feeling helpless, she is finished, Jason this ANIMAL!

Robert and Jade were shaking in their spot, they were afraid the Mayor would tag them into this case, even though Jason didn't say anything about them.

George faced Mr. Landon.

“Pardon me, Sir George, I didn't know anything about the whole situation, I didn't get to hear the whole story!!”

Mr. Landon was shivering uncontrollably, this is the Mayor they are talking about, one of Ocean Berry's most fearful men.

“Of course I will pardon you, but I have other things to address.

“You have been defrauding the government of your taxes, and the statue outside was constructed on the road. Your fine is a billion dollars, come to the courthouse tomorrow. Bring your lawyer along”

Mr. Landon's heart kicked violently, he felt like dying already, everything the Mayor said is true, he is finished!

“Sir George…”

“Get out!!!, All of you!!!”

George clapped, and his men brought out their guns and simultaneously shot all the cameras in the room.

Mr. Landon hurriedly rushed to the exit.

He dare not disobey the Mayor's orders.

Robert and Jade also hurried to the exit, including Natalie, the sound of the gunshots almost made them peed in their pants.

Jason waited because he wanted to thank the Mayor, however, all the men suddenly dropped to their knees when everybody left.

Jason was dumbfounded by their actions, he turned to the Mayor and the Mayor was also on his knees.

“You are the last surviving heir of the Spectre family.

“I, George Winston, is a disciple of the Spectre family. I have come to swear my loyalty to the Master”

George bows his head on the floor, he had to make sure nobody was watching, the master identity is very complicated.

Jason was completely flabbergasted by George's words, what is the Mayor saying, and why is he bowing his head on the floor.

How did the Mayor even know his family name.

Jason was confused.

“I don't know what you are talking about, Sir George. You got the wrong person”

George raised his head to face the master.

“That ring can't be fake. You are from the Spectre family, flesh and blood, and you looked exactly like your grandfather”

His voice vibrated the room again.

Jason's heart skipped when George mentioned the ring, this is the only thing his family left him with, they abandoned him and left him with a ring.

“This ring belongs to my family, they told me that at the orphanage home”

George's fist hardened, the earlier scenes flashed through his mind, the master must've suffered a lot of hardship.

“I am sorry, I failed to locate you master”

“How do you know, I am truly the person you are looking for”

Jason was curious now, he still believed the Mayor had mistaken him for somebody else, but he wished he was the right person.

George stands up to his feet.

“Haven't you be feeling strange, your body hasn't been the same since you got injured badly”

    The silence in the restaurant seemed to stretch for an eternity. Summer's coffee cup froze halfway to her lips, her eyes widening as Jason's words hung in the air between them."What did you just say?" Summer's voice came out barely above a whisper. The background chatter of the café faded away, leaving only the thundering of her heartbeat in her ears.Jason leaned back in his chair, his expression far too casual for the bomb he'd just dropped. "I said I think you're only hanging around because you feel sorry for me."Summer's cup clattered against the saucer as she set it down with trembling hands. Heat rushed to her face – not embarrassment, but indignation."That's what you think?" She gripped the edge of the table. "That I spend all this time with you out of... what? Pity?"Jason shrugged, but there was something guarded in his eyes. "You're always checking up on me, making sure I've eaten, asking if I've taken my medication. You practically invited yourself to my doctor's appoint

    Summer stared at Jason, her mouth slightly open, but no words came out.What he just said… it caught her completely off guard.Everything she had been rehearsing in her mind—how she would start, what she would say, even the tone she would use—just vanished like smoke. Her hands, which had been resting nervously on the table, stiffened. She couldn't even think straight, much less find the right words to say to him.Her mind raced, panic threatening to take over.What if he reacts badly? What if he misunderstands?But deep down, Summer knew she couldn’t back down. She had to say it, no matter how messy it came out.She lowered her eyes briefly, gathering the last bit of courage she had left."Camila called me today," she finally said, her voice not as steady as she wished it would be. "She said... they're going to have a meeting. She said I'm going to be... following everything that's going to happen."Summer lifted her gaze slowly to meet Jason’s, trying to read his expression but find

    Jason sat in his car for a moment, his fingers tapping against the steering wheel. The anticipation gnawed at him. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off with Soma. He had tried to brush it off, but the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.He turned the engine over and drove to the place where he was supposed to meet her. The drive seemed to stretch longer than usual, as if the roads themselves were teasing him, making him question what was coming next.When he arrived, Soma was already seated. Her back was straight, her arms crossed, and her eyes were fixed on the ground, but the tension in her posture was unmistakable. The slight furrow of her brow, the clenching of her jaw—it all painted a picture of frustration. But it was the mix of emotions in her eyes that threw him off. There was anger, yes, but there was also something else. Something softer, yet heavy with worry.Jason walked toward her, his steps deliberate. As he stood before her, he couldn’t

    Summer sat on her bed, restless. Her fingers tapped nervously on the edge of her phone until she finally gave in and dialed Jason’s number. It didn’t even ring twice before he picked up.“Hello?” Jason’s voice came through, slightly muffled, like he was moving around.“Jason,” Summer said quickly, not wasting time. “There’s something I need to talk to you about. It’s important.”Jason paused. “Alright,” he replied. “But I’m with the guys right now. We’re about to head to the gym. You know that fight competition is in a few weeks, and I need to stay sharp. I was planning to do some sparring—flex the muscles a bit. I promise we can talk after, okay?”Summer’s heart dropped. Her brows pinched in disbelief. She sat up straight, her tone sharp and cut through the line.“Jason,” she said coldly, “don’t even think about doing that. I’m serious.”Jason froze on the other end, confused. “What? It’s just training, Summer. I’ve done it before—”“No,” she snapped. “Don’t try it. Don’t be stupid.”

    when Summer heard what Camilla just said, there was a sharp stillness on her end of the call. Her hand clenched unconsciously at her side, and for a few seconds, she said nothing. Her heart thumped like a drum against her chest, but her voice—when it came—was calm, even a little cheerful.“Oh… wow,” Summer said, forcing out a laugh. “That’s… that’s great, Camilla. I mean, truly. I’m happy for both of you.”Camilla didn’t catch the falter in her tone. Summer had trained herself well to hide things like this.“Thanks, Summer. I knew you’d understand,” Camilla said warmly. “That’s why I called you. Because I know how close you and Jason are.”Summer’s throat tightened. She bit her lower lip so hard she nearly broke the skin. “Yeah,” she replied quietly. “Anything you both want to do, I’m fully in support of it. Anything at all.”But even as she spoke, her chest was burning.She was trying to be strong—trying to say the right things—but her thoughts were racing in all the wrong directions

  • CHAPTER 231

    Summer just kept smiling, her tone sweet, calm—too calm. She nodded slowly as Camilla spoke, not giving anything away. “That’s how Jason is,” she said, her voice soft but steady. “He’s the kind of person who would move mountains for someone, even if they don’t ask. He always pays attention to the little things. You’re lucky.”Camilla let out a dry laugh, folding her arms as she studied Summer’s face carefully. She didn’t like that response. It sounded too perfect, too rehearsed. There was no twitch of envy, no shift in her expression—just a practiced smile.That silence felt loud.“So,” Camilla started, tilting her head, “you’re not surprised Jason booked out Pasumi Kazoo?”Summer blinked, her brows lifted a bit. “I mean, it’s Jason. He does impossible things and makes it look simple.”Camilla’s lips pressed into a thin line. She looked away for a moment, then back at her. “That’s exactly what worries me,” she muttered under her breath.Summer tilted her head. “What?”“Nothing.” Camil

    Camilla sat beside her grandfather in the garden behind the estate. The quiet hum of the fountain nearby was the only sound between them. Her grandfather’s face had that thoughtful crease again—one she’d come to recognize when something serious was weighing on him.“So,” he said slowly, his eyes still fixed on the koi fish swimming in circles, “this Jason... The person who introduced him to you... was it a guy or a lady?”Camilla didn’t look up right away. She picked at the edge of her sleeve, trying to act normal, though her chest was already tightening with anticipation. “A lady,” she replied.Her grandfather finally turned to face her, his tone unreadable. “A lady?”There was a long pause.Bit by bit, something began to settle in the old man’s heart. Something he couldn’t quite place. His fingers tapped his cane lightly. The first bit—doubt.He wasn’t sure he liked this. Not because Jason wasn’t remarkable. No, that was clear. The young man had done more than enough to prove himsel

    The moment Summer mumbled under her breath that she’d be going with Jason and Camilla to the restaurant after all, her sister’s ears perked up like a dog who just heard the word “walk.”“What did you say?!” she gasped, eyes wide in disbelief.“I said I’ll be going with them, alright?” Summer muttered, not looking at her.She barely had time to finish her sentence before her sister leapt at her like a rocket, throwing both arms around her with pure joy.“You’re going with them?! You're going?! Oh my God, Summer!” she screamed.“Get off me,” Summer groaned, struggling in her grip.“Nooope! You’re not going anywhere,” her sister said through happy laughter, tightening her hug like a boa constrictor. “You’re finally coming to your senses!”Summer tried to push her off with a grunt, but her sister held her too tightly. Eventually, Summer gave up and let her hold her, rolling her eyes as she sighed.“Fine. Do what you want,” Summer mumbled, but deep down… a little smile tugged at her lips.

  • CHAPTER 228

    At that moment Summer’s jaw clenched tightly as she stepped closer to her sister, her hands balled into fists. “You better not say anything stupid to Jason,” she muttered, her voice low but brimming with warning.Her sister, however, leaned against the doorframe with that same smug smile dancing on her lips, arms folded like a victor at war. “Too late,” she said, tilting her head mockingly. “I heard everything. Every word. ‘Why can’t he just see I have feelings for him?’” She even mimicked the tone, fluttering her eyelashes with exaggerated sweetness. “Poor Jason… so clueless.”Summer’s eyes widened in embarrassment, heat rising up her neck. “You were spying on me?”“I wasn’t spying,” her sister replied, laughing. “You were screaming loud enough for the whole street to hear. Should I play it back?” She tapped her phone playfully.Summer stepped forward, her tone low and sharp. “Delete that or I swear—”“Oh, please,” her sister snapped. “You're always acting like you're in control, but
