Chapter 32: The Assassination Attempt
A few seconds before the assassination attempt, Seth and his elite unit had been quietly securing the outer perimeter of the restaurant. Suddenly, Seth’s eyes narrowed as he caught a faint, sudden flash from a distance.It was a tiny, sharp red dot dancing across the pavement.The dot danced and skipped erratically against the walls, looking exactly as if a child were carelessly playing around with a laser pointer. Seth's combat instincts flared instantly. He silently flashed hand signals to his unit: two operatives to hunt down the shooter's position, two to breach the diner and escort Jason out, and the rest to form a defensive ring for absolute emergency response.Seth quickly calculated the distance and trajectory, smoothly unslinging a high-caliber sniper rifle of his own.He brought the weapon up to his eye, peering through the advanced thermal scope. Two blocks away, on the high balcony of a dark skyscraper opposite the restaurant, he immediately spotted a figure lying flat on
chapter 31: Who am i
"Who am I?" Jason sighed, running a tired hand through his hair. "I don’t even know who I am anymore."Seeing Charlotte’s intense, concentrated gaze, he slowly continued. "My family is... complicated. Ever since I was little, I’ve always known we were wealthy. I knew we owned companies all over the world, but they made sure I never knew the true extent of it.""There has always been a strict tradition in our bloodline, passed down from generation to generation," Jason explained, his voice dropping slightly. "Whenever a child is born, the family completely buries the news. We are raised entirely in the shadows, far away from any media attention. I was literally homeschooled from basic education all the way through high school."Charlotte sat frozen, hanging onto his every word."I took every single exam from the isolated comfort of my own home," he said, offering a sad, self-deprecating smile. "The only real friends I've ever made in my entire life were the ones I met here, during my u
Chapter 30: The Fake French Restaurant
Since they were already here, it would not make any sense if they did not order anything at all. Jason waved over the waitress who had greeted them at the entrance and asked for two servings of the Pastel de Nata—a blatantly Portuguese dish served in a supposedly French restaurant."Your order is on its way, monsieur," the waitress said with her genuine accent before stepping back to greet the next arriving guests.Though the restaurant was not exactly teeming with massive crowds, a considerable number of visibly wealthy people kept walking through the doors. It certainly wasn't because the prices here were cheap. As Jason looked around, he realized he was currently about to find out the real secret behind why this bizarre place maintained such fiercely loyal customers like Charlotte. Soon, their order arrived. The presentation was flawless: a pair of rich egg custard tarts, beautifully dusted with a fine layer of cinnamon. Each tart boasted a perfectly blistered, deeply caramelized t
Chapter 29: La Capucino
Jason walked over to meet Charlotte, immediately noticing how her gaze kept darting nervously around the empty street, as if she were desperately searching the shadows for someone.Jason understood exactly what she was doing, but he simply smiled."Who are you looking for?" he asked softly."Is your... bodyguard not coming with us?" Charlotte asked, her voice tight."I sent him away," Jason answered plainly. "I noticed you weren't comfortable around him, so I asked him to disappear.""You shouldn't have done that," Charlotte said, furrowing her brow in feigned concern.However, Jason clearly heard the soft, unmistakable sigh of relief escape her lips.Still keeping up the act, she gripped her small clutch purse tightly. "What if the Godfather returns while we're out on the date?" she asked, a genuine flash of panic returning to her expression."Don’t worry, I have that under control," Jason said, patting her gently on the back. "Our ride will be here very soon."Charlotte was genuinel
Chapter 28: The snow dropper 3
A few seconds after the Godfather's frantic footsteps faded down the hallway, the earpiece tucked into Seth's ear crackled to life.Seth paused, his eyes narrowing slightly as he listened to the brief report from the tactical unit downstairs. Then, he turned to face Jason."Young Master," Seth reported, his voice flat. "My team has successfully detained the target on the street. They have weapons hot and are awaiting your final order."Jason didn't answer immediately.He stood calmly in the center of the cramped apartment, his mind spinning like a cold, calculating machine. Killing the Godfather right now would be incredibly easy, but it would also send a chaotic shockwave through the city's underworld.On the other hand, keeping a terrified, deeply indebted mob boss alive could prove to be a highly useful asset in the near future.Jason casually adjusted the cuffs of his suit, his expression completely indifferent."Stand the team down," Jason ordered coldly. "Let them go.""Release
chapter 27: The snowdropper
The Snowdropper didn't exactly sound like a terrifying name, but the Godfather acted as if he had just seen a ghost.Jason was intensely curious, but he knew now was not the right time to ask questions. He looked at the trembling mob boss with raised eyebrows, but ultimately decided to keep his mouth shut.The heavy silence lingered in the cramped apartment for a moment longer before Jason finally broke it. "You must know why I summoned you. There's no reason to beat around the bush." It was his turn to act high-profile now.Jason turned to face the Godfather, sitting comfortably with one leg crossed over the other, perfectly mimicking the crime lord's previous, arrogant posture.The Godfather, now completely subservient, answered while visibly shivering. "Yes, sir. My boys came back and told me that you dealt with them... and honestly, I'm very happy that you did.""I already guessed why you called me, sir," the Godfather continued, rambling frantically as the intimidating image he h
