Chapter 1015

Alyssa and Axel were rendered speechless.

Jonah's tone suggested he was upset.

Was he standing up for Julien?

Landon was Cornelius’ eldest grandchild. He grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. He never had

to answer to anyone.

However, even he, who wasn't sensitive to these things, could sense the trace of anger in Jonah's

cold gaze

He let out an awkward laugh. "I-I-I'm just asking. I'm sure Mr. Jonah invited a miracle doctor. I

worried for nothing.”

"Mr. Landon, Dr. Lovelace is a better doctor than me. Don't worry. The operation is in good hands."

Alyssa choked slightly as she said it. Her eyes reddened. "Once Jasper gets over this, I still have to

rely on Dr. Lovelace for his care.

"He is an expert in neurology. He should know what to do with Jasper's physical complications.”

Upon reaching the end of her statement, her tone softened, and her eyes betrayed a sense of guilt.

Landon's breath quickened.

He was careless with words, so he didn't dare to comfort her. He was worried he would upset her by

saying all the wrong things, consequently making things worse.

"Damn it! That bastard, Jeffrey, is the cause of all this!"

Landon, his eyes ablaze, rolled up his sleeves. His arms displayed veins that hinted at a brewing,

violent aggression. "That bastard is in the car, right? Let me make him lose half of his fucking life

before sending him away."

Then, a procession of cars inundated the basement parking lots, advancing directly toward them.

The screech of brakes echoed through the darkness, and a palpable sense of oppressive intensity

filled the surroundings.

"We have uninvited company.” Jonah frowned and held Alyssa by her waist.

"Yes, we have uninvited company.”

Alyssa's heart tightened. Her gaze turned piercingly cold as she observed the men disembarking

from the car.

Wearing a police uniform that betrayed his high rank, a man in his 50s, easily identified as a

commander by the shoulder badge, took the lead.

Behind him was a squad dressed in Tsulu police uniforms. They were police enforcement.

They encircled Alyssa and the others, their stern gazes generating an intimidating vibe.

Axel and Landon stood poised, ready for a potential altercation.

Jeffrey, bound like a mummy with a cloth in his mouth, recognized that this commander was with

his boss. He knew his savior had arrived.

With all his might, he cried for help. He squirmed like a worm within the car, his movements causing

the vehicle to shake.

Without a word, Axel pulled out a sharp dagger out of nowhere and stabbed Jeffrey's thigh. His face

was expressionless.

Jeffrey winced in pain. He couldn't scream no matter how hard he tried. He could only twitch in

pain. It was better to be dead at this point.

"You better behave yourself."

Axel kept his dagger. He narrowed his eyes dangerously. Then, he took a cigarette out and flicked it

with his fingertips. His mouth caught the cigarette.

Axel continued, "Or else, you can trust that I have a hundred ways to handle you before you even

think about leaving this car. Torture is my kind of game.”

Jeffrey shuddered. He was so terrified that he had forgotten the pain.

To him, Axel was the most terrifying man that ever walked the earth. He was the devil disguised as a

man, charming and arrogant.

Throughout the journey, he observed Axel extracting either an unidentified object or a secret

weapon. It felt like a magic trick.

He was curious to know if Axel was secretly a wizard.

He was worried he might cast a deadly spell on him at this rate.

Jeffrey was scared out of his wits.

"We received a report that you held a high-profile person from Tsulu, hostage.”
