Alyssa lowered her gaze and kept her silence. Noting her dampening mood, Jasper held and caressed
her hand. "Lyse, I know you feel sorry for Lauren, but Landon loves her. With his abilities and family
background, he is more than capable of protecting her."
"Yes, I know that. In fact, I am grateful to him." Alyssa's gratitude had nothing to do with Landon's
acceptance of Lauren. She was thankful to God that Landon was able to see the good in Lauren and
patiently stayed by her side.
Shortly after, Landon returned to the living room, appearing more fatigued than ever. Jasper released a
deep sigh. "Landon, that must've been tough for you."
"She's my partner. I'll do anything for her." Landon did not blame Angelina for the oversight and
resumed the conversation, "Where were we? Oh, right! I thought it over—Inigo Montiye is a wanted
man who has no power in Solana City. How could he possibly bribe the locals into helping him out?
"Could this be part of Jameson's plan? Is he secretly protecting Inigo Montiye?"
The same idea had occurred to Alyssa and Jasper as well. After all, Inigo had once answered to Jeffrey
Synder in the Shelland Island ambush against Jasper and Jonah.
To Jameson, Inigo must be an important witness who could wreak havoc. Jameson would never allow
Inigo to fall into Alyssa and Jasper's hands—that would be shooting himself in the foot.
"Since Inigo Montiye showed up, we now know he's still alive and within Solana City. If he's still in the
city, there's no way he can escape. It's a matter of time before we get him."
Jasper's eyes were as deep as an abyss. He declared, filled with resentment, "Lives are more
important than anything. I do not wish to see any innocent lives taken by bastards like Jameson
Schmidt and Inigo Montiye—it's not worth it at all."
Landon shared the same bitter feelings. Jasper might appear distant on the surface, but Landon knew
he was more hot-blooded than anyone else.
"Um... I have a question," Xavier suddenly interrupted while raising his hand.
"What it?" Landon, Alyssa, and Jasper responded in unison.novelbin
"I can't figure out why Jameson Schmidt would expend all the effort on protecting Inigo Montiye. He's
not even in Kontina; he's on his turf. Wouldn't it be easier to silence Inigo Montiye by killing him?"
"Inigo Montiye isn't alone in this. Coming from a military background, he has a mercenary working for
him, and each could easily take on ten men.
"Besides, the Harper and Beckett Group have been searching the area for Inigo Montiye and his men.
The customs, train lines, and ports are under tight surveillance. If Jameson Schmidt gets into a conflict
with Inigo Montiye and his men, the news will reach us. They would be exposing themselves."
Angelina, who was more calculative, added, "Inigo Montiye and his men are hardcore. Jameson
Schmidt would only invite trouble if he confronted them."
Xavier insisted, "But Jameson Schmidt is cunning. He can surely think of a way to get rid of Inigo
Montiye quietly. That guy's just a ticking time bomb to him."
Xavier's casual remark struck Alyssa. She connected all the dots and exclaimed, "Damn it! Jameson
will make a move against Inigo Montiye!"
