The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre

Chapter Two

Jason couldn't believe he was hearing these words from Jade, what is happening to Jade, where did he mess up.

“Jade, I thought you loved my paintings, you told me I will make a fortune from it, what happened to those encouragement words”

He wanted to touch Jade's hands but Jade stepped backwards avoiding his movement.

“Wake up Jason, how dumb are you. Your paintings were popular arts of other artists, you are only good at imitating others, I love those popular arts not your paintings, they are two different things”

Jason's heart tightened, he was starting to understand her words, that he had been a fool. Right from the beginning, ever since Jade came to him, she has been asking him to draw other artists' work, especially the popular ones.

He hesitated because it's illegal to do such a thing, but Jade promised to keep them in her room, she had never asked for his creativity, Jade never cared about his own arts.

Jason felt like breaking down to the floor, he had been completely used all these while, he thought Jade loved him, not knowing she was a fan of popular arts work, and she couldn't get them, so she drew closer to him so he could help her make imitations.

Robert taps Jason on his right shoulder.

“Do you understand now punk, it's over between you and Jade, now it's time to run along”

Jason's breath was vibrating, two years of being deceived like a fool.

He faces Jade.

“Give me back the paintings”

Those paintings are illegally made, he can no longer trust Jade, he should get rid of them quickly.

Jade's heart kicked a little, she has sold the paintings already, something happened to her family business, they needed money, that is when she discovered Jason, they sold all the paintings to recover the family business.

“I have burnt them to ashes, how can I keep such a thing with me”

Jason was doubtful, but what would Jade gain if she kept them.

However, he needed to make sure of it, he wanted to say something when Robert pushed him on his chest.

“Bro, get the hell out of here!!, Jade said it's over, why are you pestering her”

Robert pushed Jason again on his chest.

“You are just so annoying, no wonder Jade didn't give you the opportunity to hold her hands, I bet you haven't kissed her hand before, unlike me, I have kissed her numerous times, on the lip of course”

He steps closer to Jason and whispers to his ears.

“Remember when she said she was sick some weeks ago, she actually spent the night in my house.”

Jason's rage exploded, he smashed his tightly squeezed fist into Robert's face, the force sent Robert staggering some distance backwards before he finally crashed to the ground.

Jason rushed forward to Robert, but his henchmen quickly seized him from inflicting more injuries on Robert.

“Bastard!!”

Jason roars as he struggles violently with the seven henchmen.

Robert coughs out a mouthful of blood, he staggers to his feet before he points to Jason.

“Kill this bastard!!”

The henchmen smashed Jason to the ground, they smashed their heavy boots all over his body, Jason tried to fight back, but he was overwhelmed by the numbers, feeling helpless on the floor, his eyes were focused on Jade, she was taking care of Robert injured lips, she didn't even throw a glance at him or ask them to stop.

Robert stands up when Jade has finished wiping his lips clean.

He steps forward to Jason and boots him twice on his stomach, then he spat on the floor.

“I will make sure you leave this school”

He faces his men.

“Throw him out, he is obstructing the flow of this party”

The henchmen pick Jason up and throw him out of the hotel.

They threw him to the roadside, Jason landed on his front, his body was filled with bruises, blood was oozing out from his nose, and it was reaching to his mouth, he managed to move his right hand to his nose, Jason wanted to wipe the blood away, when the ring on his right hand suddenly started glowing in different colors.

“What is this”

Jason stares at the ring, it was covered in blood. His eyes were suddenly dizzy.

*

Inside a beautiful mansion, a middle-age man was having his tea peacefully, his eyes diverted to the newspaper on the table, he wanted to pick it up when the entrance door suddenly opened.

One of his apprentices rushed forward to him.

“Master, master, Sir George”

He kneels on the floor when he reaches the middle-age man.

His body was soaked with sweat and his hands were shaking uncontrollably.

George picked the newspaper on the table and opened to the middle, his eyes were focused on it.

“Speak already”

His attention remained on the newspaper.

The apprentice hesitated before he summoned a mighty courage to voice out.

“Master, the Spectre family rune stone is glowing”

George's eyes teared open immediately, he flings the newspaper away and stands up to his feet.

“What rune stone are you talking about”

The apprentice pointed to the doorway.

“The stone in the treasure room. It's glowing”

George's heart skipped twice, how is that possible, that stone hasn't glowed for years, and that is because the Spectre family are all dead, it can't suddenly start glowing, unless somebody from the Spectre family is alive, and this person has the supremacy ring.

The Spectre family supremacy ring, a ring that houses all the powers of the Spectre family, it can only be activated by a member of the family.

George's heart seized when he finally came to a conclusion, somebody from the Spectre family is alive.

His cheeks raised to his eyes, he suddenly felt a little pain in his right hand, the ring on his right hand was starting to glow red.

George's face darkened.

“The master is in trouble”

He faced his apprentice.

“The supremacy ring is sending out a signal to all of us. We must get there quickly”

He rushed to the exit without waiting for his apprentice or even contemplating about changing his clothes.

“Get the cars ready, Junior. The master needs our help, we must get there before the rest of the disciples.

“We have to be number one on the master list”
