Jasperâs suspicion over Jameson wasnât entirely baseless. He wasnât simply taking a stab at his love rival.
Ever since he reunited with Alyssa, he had been trying his best to conduct thorough investigations into a few things in secret.
These included his relationship with the Schmidt family members, his situation in Solana City, and what he had been up to in Kontina all these years.
As expected, due to Jamesonâs keen intellect, uncovering classified. information about him proved impossible.
However, Jasper did uncover that Jameson had colluded with the evil underground forces in Kontina.
Superficially, the corporation they established appeared to operate in the realms of real estate and gambling. In reality, though, it concealed a nefarious organization involved in a wide array of criminal activities.
With extensive connections in Kontina, Jameson held sway even among officials and businessmen, ensuring that powerful parties were covering for him.
This was the method by which he expanded his business significantly. over the course of several years.
Simultaneously, he adeptly portrayed his background to appear increasingly legitimate.
More importantly, he also had quite an influence in Tsulu. According to Jasperâs sources, there were indications that Jameson also had a hand in the military and the government.
Hence, he had reason to believe that Jameson had the capability to send word to Tsulu in secret, then send his people to come and Even if the Beckett and Taylor families had the will to chase him down, their remains would have vanished by then. Their families would certainly not be able to find any clues or any evidence of their demise.
Jonah noticed that something looked amiss about Jasper. He raised his brow and queried, âDid you just get an idea of who might have done it?â
Jasper took a deep breath and replied, âNow isnât the time to talk about this. We need to settle the immediate problem first.â
It wasnât yet the time for him to point fingers at Jameson right in front of Jonah.
He thought it would make him look like he was using the opportunity to push his love rival into the ditches.
Since he had no evidence, it wasnât time to voice it out. He didnât want to risk himself becoming the immoral one.
âWell, something feels off about you. Iâm sure you already know who orchestrated it, donât you?â Jonah asked as he shot two people down as if he were having a covert competition with Jasper.
He was Alyssaâs biological brother, and they had similar personalities. Both were individuals driven to uncover the truth and couldnât tolerate superficiality.
Throughout all of this, despite having average firepower, every shot found its mark precisely. As a result, their enemies hesitated to advance toward them.
âShould they belong to Tsuluâs gangland, then I canât be certain who it is.â Jasperâs eyes twinkled dimly in the dark.
He held a tight grip on his gun and continued, âBut if they are from Right when Jonah was trying to figure out what he meant, to their surprise, someone shouted at them with a hailer, âShelland Island is an important base to our countryâs armed forces!
âWe command you to put your weapons down. Stop resisting and surrender yourselves! Otherwise, we will not show you any mercy!â
Jonahâs pupils constricted. âItâs the military.â
They were only trying to capture an insignificant criminal. He never expected that they would alert Tsuluâs military!
How powerful was Jeffrey?
Jasper clenched his teeth. He mumbled, âHuh, itâs as I had expected.â
Jasper knew all along that Jameson was the one behind this.
âHand over your firearms and surrender, quick! I promise we will treat all of you humanely!â their enemy shouted from the other side.
The coastal air was warm and humid in the first place.
In the face of danger, the falling raindrops seemed on the verge of freezing into icicles!
âDonât listen to his crap.â
With nerves on edge, Jonahâs eyes held the weight of years of festering resentment.
âBelieve me or not, if we were to show ourselves now, all that awaits us is animalistic treatment,â he said, âI used to always speak with the same kind of deceit.â
Jasper was startled. His surprised gaze was focused on Jonahâs icy. and expressionless face.
He deduced that Jonahâs life experiences in the past must have been Then, Jasper was alerted by a sound. The rustle of footsteps on the grass caught his attention.
He spoke in a low, cautious voice, saying. Theyâre approaching. Iâll run toward the left to draw their fire in a moment. Then, you hurry on and lead the others in search of Jeffreyâs hideout!â
Jonah objected without hesitation, his voice firm, âNo way! How can I leave you on your own?â
âIf all of us were to die right here, you would regret what you have just said.â
