Jasper said, “If anything were to happen to you here, what am I supposed to tell Lyse?”
Danger was imminent. Both Jasper and Jonah couldn’t delay even a second longer.
Jasper called out to him. “Jonah.”
Jonah felt shaken. The way his name was called had an unusual effect on his body. He couldn’t quitepinpoint the sensation, but it seemed to be a mix of an obscure pain and bitterness.
Jasper looked eyes with him, delivering a clear message. “No matter what, you must return to Lysesafe and sound. Lyse had said before that her family is the most important people in her life.”novelbin
Jonah’s eyes welled up in tears. He grabbed him by the arm and asked, “How about you, Jasper?Aren’t you important to her too? It took her 13 years to finally get to be with you.
“For many more years do you plan to make her endure the pain you’ve caused? Do you even have aheart?”
With a bitter smile and an unwavering gaze, Jasper spoke, “I know I’d shattered her hope in me whenwe got divorced,” he said, “If she has to lose me again, she’ll likely find a way to adapt.”
Without even waiting for a response from Jonah, he darted out at lightning speed.
“Jasper!” Jonah shouted after him.
Jonah couldn’t stop him at all. He could only watch as Jasper bolted deep into the dark forest.
Their enemy, watching them like a lion ready to pounce, started running after him!
Believing that he could serve as an effective distraction for their enemy, Jasper assumed that bymaking himself the bait, he could do his utmost to disperse the danger that enveloped them all.
These people could quickly converge to besiege them. Now, he was 90 percent confident in assertingthat it was somehow linked to Jameson, who had probably given his orders from Solana City.
If this were true, it meant that he was their target.

Sharp tree branches cut into his arms, neck, and face, but he paid little heed. The relentless gunfirefrom behind, with bullets raining at his feet, consumed his attention.
Fortunately, the extensive experience he gained from warfare saved him. Otherwise, he would havelost his life very early on!
“If I were to survive this, Jameson, you’d better watch out,” Jasper said out loud.
Gritting his teeth, he sprinted like the wind. “If I live, you’re dead meat!” he exclaimed, veins pulsating athis temples.
In the midst of the intense battle with the enemy, a bullet was discharged from behind, aimed at hisback!
He heard the terrifying sound slicing through the air. However, shots were also being fired from thefront, and he couldn’t turn around in time!
Gasping in agony, he felt a sharp pain tearing through his left.
He had been hit!
The pain wasn’t the kind of pain that just about anyone could endure. Yet, he was thankful the shothadn’t struck a vital point.
Behind him, he heard a voice speaking in Tsulian. The individuals across from him lowered their gunsupon hearing the voice.
“Hi there, Mr. Beckett.”
Jasper’s face was covered in cold sweat. He fought to suppress the pain, and turned back slowly.
There, he found Jeffrey holding a submachine gun. He grinned
smugly at Jasper and remarked, “I didn’t expect us to reunite so soon. I’m assuming you’re not here onShelland Island for a vacation. I’m afraid that the locals here aren’t that friendly.”
Behind Jeffrey, his men stood armed with various handheld weapons, casting mocking looks at Jasper.
Jasper was a classy and arrogant man in Solana City. However, he appeared no different from acoward to these assassins who began their careers as mercenaries.
A mere gesture from them could make him submit like a dog.
