The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 114
At that moment Summer and Derek exchanged a quiet glance, the weight of the evening’s events still heavy on their shoulders. Without saying much, they turned and began walking toward the dormitory, their movements subdued. The tension hung between them like an unspoken truth, each lost in their own thoughts about what had transpired.Still they couldn't believe what they saw today.Their footsteps echoed faintly, the sound gradually swallowed by the stillness of the night. Jason stood motionless, watching them disappear down the dimly lit path, his calm demeanor masking the storm of thoughts in his mind.As their presence faded into the distance, the silence grew heavier, almost oppressive. The cool night air carried with it an eerie stillness, broken only by the faint rustle of leaves in the breeze. At that moment Jason’s sharp senses picked up on it first—the subtle crunch of gravel underfoot, coming from behind him.His body tensed instinctively, his muscles coiled like a spring.
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 115
After arriving Jason stepped out from the shadows, his presence silent but suffocating. The faint light of the room flickered, casting ominous shapes on the walls as he approached Roy, who was already trembling. Blood smeared the corner of Roy’s mouth, his defiant mask shattered into raw fear. At that moment he scrambled backward until his back hit the wall, leaving nowhere else to run.“Jason, please,” Roy stammered, his voice shaking. “You don’t have to do this. I—I’ll leave Camila alone. She’s yours, okay? You win!”At that moment Jason’s footsteps were slow, deliberate, each one intensify Roy’s desperation. He crouched slightly, leveling his cold, unyielding gaze at the man cowering before him. “You think this is about Camila?” Jason’s voice was low, steady, and carried a weight that made Roy flinch. “It’s more than that.”Upon hearing what Jason just said.Roy blinked rapidly, shaking his head. “I—I didn’t mean for things to go this far. I didn’t know—”Immediately Jason cut h

However Jason’s focus remained sharp as he practiced, the ball leaving his hands with precision and grace. Shot after shot swished through the net, each one cleaner than the last. The coach, standing on the sidelines, clapped his hands together in approval.“Excellent work, Jason,” the coach called out, his voice carrying across the court. “You’ve got a rhythm today—keep it up!”Hearing what the Coach just said.Jason nodded, wiping the sweat from his brow as the other boys began gathering for team drills. He joined them, seamlessly transitioning into the practice routine. The camaraderie on the court was thin, however, and the tension became palpable when the conversation turned.At that moment one of the boys smirked as he passed the ball to Jason. “You’re lucky the other day, you know that?” he said, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “Camila sticking out for you like that? Unbelievable.”Immediately another chimed in, his voice louder, his words harsher. “But don’t let it get to y
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 117
At that moment the suited man extended the pen toward Jason, his smile tight with the smugness of someone who thought he’d already won. “Here,” he said, his voice laced with condescension. “Sign this, and your life changes today. Don’t waste this chance.”However Jason didn’t even glance at the pen. Instead he walked towards his bag.Everyone eyes where on his as he reached into his bag, pulling out a worn notebook. His movements were calm, deliberate, almost dismissive. He handed the notebook to the man and said evenly, “I’m not interested.”Upon hearing what Jason just said. The coach’s smile froze mid-smirk. He stared at Jason as if he hadn’t heard him right. “What did you just say?”Jason tilted his head slightly, meeting the coach’s disbelieving eyes. “I said I’m not interested. I play basketball because I enjoy it, not because I’m looking for a paycheck. Besides…” Jason’s lips curved into a faint smirk of his own, “if I wanted to get paid, you wouldn’t be able to afford

“Ten chances each,” the captain said, his voice filled with bravado as he positioned himself in front of the basket. “Let’s see if you’ve got what it takes.”Jason simply nodded, his eyes locked on the captain, his focus razor-sharp. The court buzzed with quiet murmurs, everyone eager to see how this unexpected challenge would unfold. The stage was set, and neither Jason nor the captain intended to back down.The tension in the gym was palpable as the captain stepped onto the court, his jaw set and his determination written all over his face. He grabbed the ball and gave Jason a cold smirk. “Don’t think I’ll go easy on you,” he said, his voice loud enough for everyone to hear.However Jason didn’t respond. He simply positioned himself, his stance calm and ready, his focus razor-sharp.At that moment the captain dribbled the ball with precision, trying to fake out Jason with quick movements and sharp turns. But Jason didn’t flinch. Every time the captain tried to drive past him, Jas
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 119
Upon hearing what Jason just said.The captain faltered for a moment, the room growing quieter as everyone waited to see how Jason would respond. But Jason didn’t give them the satisfaction of anger or defensiveness. Instead, he picked up the ball, spun it on his finger with ease, and walked back to the court, leaving the players and their insecurities behind.They could mock him all they want, but Jason know didn't need their validation. He knew who he was, and that was enough.At that moment the buzz of excitement swept through the gym as the doors opened and Camila entered, her presence like a sudden gust of fresh air. Heads turned, conversations halted, and the boys quickly huddled together, their earlier bravado fading into awe.“Camila’s here!” one of them whispered, nudging the others. “She came to watch us train. She must love the game.”Another smirked, trying to brush off his nervousness. “Yeah, right. She probably just wanted to see real talent.”Camila, however, didn’t

Seeing what Just happened Jason looked between the two of them, slightly caught off guard by the sudden shift in energy. He stayed quiet, letting the moment unfold.Summer laughed softly, her earlier hesitation melting away. “Yeah, i knew we went to the same school, but I guess it just never happened. You’re usually so hard to find.”Camila shrugged, grinning. “That’s true. I do keep to myself most of the time.”Then, as if remembering something, Camila’s grin turned sly. “Wait a second,” she said, her eyes narrowing playfully at Summer. “Wasn’t it you who recommended Jason to me?”Jason blinked in surprise, his gaze shifting to Summer. “Recommended me?” he repeated.Summer blushed faintly but laughed nervously. “I might’ve mentioned you once or twice,” she admitted, avoiding Jason’s gaze. “Camila asked for advice about a boy, and, well, I told her you were… different from other guys.”“Different?” Jason asked, raising an eyebrow.At that moment Summer gave him a look, half-apol
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 121
Hearing what Jason just said.Camila’s lips pressed into a thin line, her grip on the wheel tightening slightly. “Friends, huh?” she murmured, her tone skeptical. “She doesn’t look at you like someone who’s just a friend.”However Jason hesitated, sensing the shift in her demeanor. “She’s the one who recommended me to you,” he said carefully. “That’s all there is to it.”At that moment Camila’s jaw tightened, and her thoughts raced. Is that really all? she wondered. She couldn’t ignore the flicker of hurt she’d seen in Summer’s eyes. It wasn’t the look of someone indifferent, it seems she's regretting her actions now.“You’re sure?” Camila asked, her voice quieter but insistent. “Because the way she reacted... it felt like there’s more to the story. Were you two—”Jason cut her off, his tone firm but not defensive. “No. We weren’t anything.”At that moment Camila’s shoulders relaxed slightly, but the uncertainty lingered. “She seemed... invested in you,” she said softly, almost to h

The moment Summer mumbled under her breath that she’d be going with Jason and Camilla to the restaurant after all, her sister’s ears perked up like a dog who just heard the word “walk.”“What did you say?!” she gasped, eyes wide in disbelief.“I said I’ll be going with them, alright?” Summer muttered, not looking at her.She barely had time to finish her sentence before her sister leapt at her like a rocket, throwing both arms around her with pure joy.“You’re going with them?! You're going?! Oh my God, Summer!” she screamed.“Get off me,” Summer groaned, struggling in her grip.“Nooope! You’re not going anywhere,” her sister said through happy laughter, tightening her hug like a boa constrictor. “You’re finally coming to your senses!”Summer tried to push her off with a grunt, but her sister held her too tightly. Eventually, Summer gave up and let her hold her, rolling her eyes as she sighed.“Fine. Do what you want,” Summer mumbled, but deep down… a little smile tugged at her lips.
CHAPTER 228
At that moment Summer’s jaw clenched tightly as she stepped closer to her sister, her hands balled into fists. “You better not say anything stupid to Jason,” she muttered, her voice low but brimming with warning.Her sister, however, leaned against the doorframe with that same smug smile dancing on her lips, arms folded like a victor at war. “Too late,” she said, tilting her head mockingly. “I heard everything. Every word. ‘Why can’t he just see I have feelings for him?’” She even mimicked the tone, fluttering her eyelashes with exaggerated sweetness. “Poor Jason… so clueless.”Summer’s eyes widened in embarrassment, heat rising up her neck. “You were spying on me?”“I wasn’t spying,” her sister replied, laughing. “You were screaming loud enough for the whole street to hear. Should I play it back?” She tapped her phone playfully.Summer stepped forward, her tone low and sharp. “Delete that or I swear—”“Oh, please,” her sister snapped. “You're always acting like you're in control, but
CHAPTER 227
Summer's voice trembled with rage as she turned sharply toward the door. Her eyes flared as they met her sister's smug expression.“What are you doing there?” Summer snapped, her hands balling into fists at her sides. “Were you standing there the whole time?”Her sister leaned against the doorframe casually, arms folded, a knowing grin spreading across her lips. “I knew it,” she said, her tone light but laced with mockery. “You like him. You actually like Jason.”Summer’s stomach clenched. Her heart pounded against her ribs, not from fear, but from embarrassment and fury. She stepped forward, her face tight with anger. “What are you even talking about?” she hissed. “You were eavesdropping? On me?”“I don’t need to eavesdrop,” her sister said with a roll of her eyes. “You were basically screaming. Crying over a guy who took someone else to Pasu Mikazu. That doesn’t sound like a girl who doesn’t care.”Summer’s breath caught in her throat. Her cheeks flushed. She didn’t like this feelin
CHAPTER 226
Jason stepped away from the soft music and laughter echoing inside Paso Mikazu, standing beside a quiet corner where the call with Summer could come through clearly. Her voice came through low but sharp, laced with something he couldn’t quite place at first—until her tone began to twist."So you’re really there... with Camilla?" Summer asked. Her voice was calm, too calm, but Jason caught the edge in it. It wasn’t the usual Summer. It sounded like... restraint. Jealousy?Jason’s brows furrowed. “Yeah... today’s her birthday. I wanted it to be special for her,” he said honestly. “Why are you sounding like that?”“Like what?” she said, a little too quickly.“Summer, why are you reacting this way? Why do you sound so... off?” he asked, rubbing his temple with his free hand. “Is it because of Paso Mikazu?”Silence.Jason exhaled softly, trying not to overthink it. “Look... the truth is, that’s why I called you earlier. I wanted to tell you that anytime you’re free, just say it, and we’ll
CHAPTER 225
Camilla didn’t say much after Jason’s reply, but her silence was loud. Her jaw tightened ever so slightly, her smile faded in the corners, and her hands, which had once been calmly placed on her lap, were now locked together too tightly. She had been observing, quietly. She always did. And what she was seeing now didn’t sit right with her.‘Summer.’The name alone was enough to stir something in her chest. It wasn’t that she was insecure—far from it. But it was the way Jason spoke about her. The ease in his voice, the calmness, that small smile he always wore whenever Soma’s name was brought up. Camilla saw it. She always saw everything.Jason’s explanation sounded honest. It always did. But something in her gut told her there was more behind Summer’s call. And for some reason, that made her even more upset. Her gaze dropped to her untouched glass of fruit wine. The sparkle in her eyes dimmed, just slightly.Ever since Jason came into her life, things had been different. Unpredictable
CHAPTER 224
Jason held the phone close to his ear, his brow furrowed. The noise from the softly playing instrumental music inside Pasu Mikazu faded into the background as Summer’s voice filtered through.“Jason,” she said, her tone quieter now, but not calm—more like something was being held back. “You’re with Camilla right?”Jason didn’t lie. “Yes… I’m at Pasu Mikazu. It’s her birthday today.”Jason said again, however There was a pause on the other end, and Jason could hear Summer’s faint breath.“Oh,” Summer finally said, her voice flat. “So, no one thought I was worthy enough to be invited too, huh? That’s… interesting.”Jason opened his mouth, but no words came out. The guilt settled in, even though he hadn’t meant it that way. Before he could explain, Summer continued, letting out a soft, bitter laugh.“I mean… I’ve never even stepped foot in Pasu Mikazu before,” she said. “But I guess some girls get first-time privileges.”Jason leaned back slightly, resting his head on the back of the cha
CHAPTER 223
As the suited waiter stepped aside gracefully, he gestured toward the hallway leading to the grand tasting room. “According to the ticket given to you,” he said in a clear and composed voice, “you’ve also been granted the privilege to live stream during your visit. However, I must respectfully remind you—there are certain boundaries.”He bowed his head slightly, maintaining a gentle tone. “The house-special drinks and delicacies prepared exclusively by Pasu Mikazu chefs are part of our confidential culinary signature. Those may not be recorded or streamed. But for everything else—the live cooking, the architecture, even the presentations—you may capture as much as you like.”At that moment Camilla blinked twice, still taking in the glow of the floor tiles beneath her feet. Her mouth parted slightly as if to speak, but all she could say was, “Wow.”Her friend, still gaping at the walls glittering with soft golden accents and hand-carved art, reached for Jason’s arm without realizing it
CHAPTER 222
As soon as the glass doors of Pasu Mikazu slid open and Jason, Camilla, and her friend stepped inside, it was as if they had walked into a different world entirely.For a moment, none of them said a word, the silence wasn’t awkward—it was reverent.The air inside carried a faint floral scent, soft like morning dew. The walls glowed, not from paint or wallpaper, but from something far more delicate—an opalescent finish that shimmered under the ambient lighting, like crushed pearls set into marble. The entire floor reflected their movements like a perfect mirror, smooth, pristine, and warm underfoot.At that moment Camilla froze mid-step.“Jason…” she whispered, her eyes wide, voice nearly stolen by awe, “this place…”Even her friend—usually the one who always had something sarcastic to say—had her mouth slightly open. “Are we… are we standing inside a dream?”It wasn’t just beautiful, It was unreal.Everything looked as if it had been designed by a deity with taste finer than anything
CHAPTER 221
At that moment A thick silence swept over the entire entrance of PASUMI KAZU.For a second, no one moved. Not Jason. Not Camilla. Not even the security officers who had come at the former guard’s call. The air hung heavy—like it didn’t know if it should gasp or stay completely still.Everyone just… stared.Mouths slightly parted. Eyes wide. One of the four arriving security men blinked twice in disbelief, unsure if he’d just seen what he thought he did.Even Camilla’s friends across the street, who had been laughing and whispering just a moment ago, froze with their phones still held up mid-livestream. The camera capturing the moment jolted slightly as the person recording fumbled.The elegant man stood still after delivering the slap, his hand still slightly raised, as if the echo hadn’t yet finished ringing out.The security man who had been barking confidently minutes ago stood stiff. His face had turned red, not just from the slap but from confusion, fear, and sudden realization.
