Jasper then shared a look with Jonah before they headed deep into the jungle.
Landon prayed for the two of them to return safely.
In the Millenniumâs most extravagant suit, Jameson was discussing merrily with a Tsulu military representative.
This Tsulian man, Inigo Montoye, had worked with Jameson when the latter was making a name for himself in Kontina. Since Inigo had benefited a lot from working with Jameson, he naturally gave the same to Jamesonâs endeavors in Tsulu and Kontina.
Jameson had become a powerful financial magnate in Kontina, while Inigo was a lieutenant colonel in the Royal Tsulian Armyâs Ground Force.
Virtually no outsider knew of their connection all these years.
Amber stayed beside them the whole night, topping their drinks off and playing the perfect role as bait.
Whenever she bent down to pour a drink, Inigo got a full view of her cleavage, making the blood in hist veins burn with desire. He didnât even notice when his drink spilled at the edges.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. Carl hurried in to whisper to Jameson, âSir, Jasper Beckett, and Landon Harper have arrived on Tsulu. Theyâre currently in Shelland Island, targeting Jeffrey Snyder.â
âOh? Just the two of them?â Jameson asked, sipping his red wine.
âAnd also⦠Ms. Alyssaâs eldest brother, Jonah Taylor.â Carl seemed ill at ease. âShould we continue with the original plan, sir? Mr. Taylor brother after allâ¦
âSo what?â A coldness glinted in Jamesonâs eyes as he sneered. âIâve long seen through those Taylor brothers. None of them will help me get what I want. Theyâll only stand in the way of me getting Lyse for myself. Let him perish. One down is better than none.â
Carl felt cold sweat trickle down his back upon hearing this.
Beside them, Amberâs hands trembled lightly. She pursed her lips, recalling Axelâs handsome face.
âWhy would Lyse need that many men around her? All she needs is me to love her,â Jameson said.
âHahaha! Thereâs the Jameson Schmidt I know. As ferocious as ever.
I love it!â Inigo chuckled, clapping proudly.
âThank you for your praise.â Jameson smiled, speaking in Tsulian.
âWhen will I get to witness your wedding with Ms. Alyssa, Mr. Schmidt? Iâll be sure to bring a great wedding gift!â Inigo said.
âSoon. But whether or not this wedding will go through depends on whether you can help me, Lieutenant Montoye.â Jameson smiled cruelly. âI was hoping you could help me take care of two individuals.â
âWho are they?â Inigo asked lazily.
âJasper Beckett and Jonah Taylor,â Jameson gritted out.
Inigo jolted in shock. âAre you serious, Mr. Schmidt? I may be Tsulian, but I still know how powerful those two are. Theyâre not to be trifled with, especially not Jonah Taylor!
âHis father, Winston Taylor, is Belbanksâ most powerful man. They even have connections with the royals. If I take him out and they find out I had something to do with it, Iâm toast!â
âIâve already considered all of that, Jameson said, leaning forward slightly. His eyes were cold and dark. âThe man they intend to capture is one of your countryâs arms dealersâ right-hand men.â
âWhat?â Inigo was shocked by this.
Jameson said, âThose two foreigners plan to provoke matters on your countryâs territory. Iâm sure your royals wonât just sit around and do nothing about that. So, instead of waiting for the higher-upsâ orders, why donât you make the first move and save them time?
âCulling terrorists in your countryâs own borders is only right for someone of your position to do.â
Inigoâs eyes glinted knowingly. He knew what he had to do now.
