chapter 33: who ordered the killer
He knew Matthew was a petty, arrogant guy, and he trusted him to be a lot of things—a bad roommate, an annoying rival, a campus jerk—but an actual assassin who would ruthlessly try to put a bullet in his chest? That was entirely out of the question."Matthew! What the hell led you to this?!" Jason demanded, stepping closer to the stretcher. "I’ve always known you to be an antagonist, Matthew, but not a real-life killer! Why?!"As Jason shouted, his eyes locked onto Matthew’s right side. He sickened to realize that Matthew's right arm was completely destroyed, dangling uselessly by a shred of flesh, his shoulder completely shattered by the impact. Jason turned an intense, questioning glare toward Seth for answers."I noticed the laser sight right before he pulled the trigger, and I did what I had to do to stop him," Seth said with a casual shrug. "I went directly for the kill shot. It is a genuine miracle that he survived, Young Master. It can only be attributed to a lucky twist of fat
Chapter 32: Unmasking the Assassin
"Let her be," Seth said softly as he gently laid Charlotte down to rest on a clean booth cushion. Seeing Jason’s intensely curious glance, he added, "She will sleep for a full day. By the time she wakes up, even this little scar will have completely disappeared."Jason was burning with a million questions, but he knew right now was not the time to push it. The way he looked at Seth had fundamentally changed. He had always just viewed him as the stoic, distant bodyguard who had watched over him since childhood."I know you have a lot of questions, Young Master," Seth said, offering a rare, faint smile. "But now is not the right time to talk. Everything will be fully revealed to you after you pass the third test."That single sentence only made Jason’s curiosity spike into pure frustration.What the fuck, bro? Jason screamed internally. I literally just finished the first test, and now you’re keeping me in suspense for the third test? The first test took four good years to complete... f
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
