The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 132
Immediately the room was frozen in awe. Even the most skeptical faces were now etched with disbelief and wonder. At that moment Camila’s grandfather rose from his seat, his eyes wide as he took in the intricate details of the painting. “Impossible,” he muttered, his voice trembling. “That painting was destroyed centuries ago.”Jason removed his hand from the canvas, the glow of the ring fading slightly. He turned to face the crowd, his gaze steady. “The ring doesn’t just hold power—it holds history. Memories. The essence of King Matais himself. No forgery could do this.”At that moment The hall erupted into chaos as soon as the painting fully formed on the canvas. Gasps turned into shouts, and within moments, phones were pulled out, people frantically making calls to gather more funds. Wealthy bidders barked orders to their assistants, demanding immediate access to additional resources. The once skeptical crowd now resembled a frenzy of sharks circling prey, desperate to secure wha
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 133
At that moment Camila’s grandfather’s brows arched slightly as Jason extended the ring to him, his hand steady, his gaze unwavering. The older man was quiet for a moment, his eyes flickering between Jason and the glowing ring inside the glass. The hall had gone silent, every attendee waiting for his response.However a smile began to form on his lips, subtle at first, then broadening into something genuine. This wasn’t the outcome he had expected. He had assumed Jason would guard the ring for personal gain or, at the very least, use it as leverage to secure wealth. But this—this selfless act—was beyond what he had anticipated.At that moment Camila’s grandfather nodded approvingly, his voice carrying a warmth that was rare. “You surprise me, Jason,” he said, his words slow and deliberate. “Most men in your position would’ve clung to this ring for their own benefit, but you’ve chosen to place legacy and respect above greed. That shows character.”Jason inclined his head slightly, a

The air outside was cool, but tension simmered beneath the surface as Camila’s grandfather stepped out of the auction hall, flanked by Jason and Camila. His rejection of the numerous offers—both direct and through business deals—had left a few lingering stares and whispers in their wake. Still, he carried himself with an air of unbothered authority, his expression calm, as though the evening’s events had not just placed a massive target on his back.The drive home began in silence, the hum of the engine serving as the only sound in the confined space of the car. Camila sat beside Jason, her thoughts still swirling with unease. She couldn’t shake the feeling that their peaceful departure was too easy. Jason, ever perceptive, noticed the slight furrow in her brow but didn’t comment. He remained calm, his gaze steady, as though he too was bracing himself for something.The unease proved warranted when their convoy slowed upon reaching a narrow alleyway, one of the shortcuts to their est
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 135
At that moment the alley was silent except for the sound of approaching footsteps. The men in suits spread out, surrounding Jason, Camila, and her grandfather, their movements calculated, confident. Jason’s calm demeanor didn’t waver as he stepped forward, his eyes scanning the group.Camila’s heart pounded as she grabbed her grandfather’s arm, whispering urgently, “Grandfather, please, let’s just give them the ring. This isn’t worth it.”However her grandfather didn’t reply, his focus fixed on Jason. There was something unsettling yet reassuring about the young man’s calmness. He hadn’t faltered, not even as the first attacker lunged at him with a vicious strike.At that moment Jason moved like a shadow—swift, calculated, and precise. He sidestepped the attack, delivering a sharp elbow to the man’s ribs, dropping him to the ground in an instant. Seeing what just happened the others hesitated for only a moment before charging at him all at once.What happened next was a blur of moti

At that moment Jason crouched in front of the gang boss, his cold gaze piercing through the man’s defiance. “Who sent you?” he asked again, his tone calm but carrying an edge that made the air feel heavier.The gang boss spat blood onto the pavement, smirking through his bruised face. “You can ask me a thousand times, kid,” he sneered, his voice dripping with mockery. “You won’t get a word out of me.”Jason’s jaw tightened slightly, but he didn’t rise to the provocation. Instead, he calmly pulled out his phone and scrolled through his contacts. Seeing what Jason was doing the boss raised an eyebrow, confused but still cocky. “What now? You gonna call your mommy?” he taunted, chuckling weakly.Jason ignored him, pressing a number and putting the phone to his ear. “Giovanni,” he said evenly, his eyes never leaving the boss’s face. “I need you here. Now.”The boss froze mid-smirk, the name echoing in his mind like a thunderclap. His blood ran cold as realization dawned, but he quick

Summer stepped out of the elevator and into the dimly lit corridor of the hotel’s private suite floor. Her heart raced as she adjusted the strap of her bag, unsure if coming here was the right decision.Then the receptionist had directed her to one of the private rooms, and she now stood in front of the heavy wooden door. Taking a deep breath, she knocked softly.At that moment the door opened, revealing the boy she had called earlier. He leaned casually against the doorframe, a sly grin on his face as he looked her up and down. “Glad you could make it,” he said, stepping aside to let her in.However Summer hesitated for a moment before stepping inside. The room was spacious and luxurious, filled with the sound of laughter and the clinking of glasses. Around the dining table sat a group of people, some of whom Summer immediately recognized. There were a few guys, including the boy she had called, and a handful of girls—some of whom attended her school but majored in different courses.
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 138
At that moment Jason had just seen Camila’s text pop up on his phone, asking if he would marry her. He stared at it for a moment, his mind clouded with uncertainty.He didn't know what he was going to say to her or how he's going or react, but one thing is sure she won't give it and so doesn't her grandfather.Before he could decide how to respond, his phone vibrated with an incoming call. It was Summer.Without hesitation, he answered, pressing the phone to his ear. “Summer?” he said, his voice calm but curious.What greeted him wasn’t her usual cheerful tone. Instead, muffled sounds of struggling filled his ears. Jason’s expression shifted immediately, his brow furrowing as his grip on the phone tightened. “Summer? Are you okay?” he asked, his voice firmer now.At that moment aman’s voice cut through the noise, low and menacing. “She’s coming with me.”Jason froze, his body stiffening as his mind raced. His expression darkened, his jaw clenching tightly. “Who is this? What are you
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 139
At that moment Jason kept his composure as a few of the bigger guys from the group sauntered toward him, their expressions smug and filled with challenge. Immediately one of them, a tall, muscular boy wearing a backward cap, stepped forward, his tone dripping with disdain. “Who do you think you are, walking onto our court without even asking for permission?”Hearing what the boy just said.Jason took a deep breath, trying to keep his anger in check. “Look, I’m not here to start anything. I just need to find Samuel Rowan. It’s urgent,” he said, his tone firm but measured.At that moment the taller boy scoffed, crossing his arms. “Urgent? To us, you’re just some errand boy trying to act important. You want something? Ask nicely, maybe we’ll think about it.”Immediately the others chuckled, their laughter echoing across the court.At that moment Jason’s patience was wearing thin, but he tried one more time. “I’m not looking for trouble. Just tell me where Samuel lives, and I’ll be o

Camilla’s hand tightened gently around Jason’s wrist. Her voice came out quiet, almost pleading. “Jason, it’s not the end of everything. Maybe we should just go… try to figure out how the booking was even made. Maybe someone tricked us. We could come back later when things are clearer.”Jason didn’t even look at her. His eyes were locked on the security man like stone against stone. But Camilla could feel it—something in him was beginning to boil.Her friend stepped forward hesitantly, voice softer. “Jason… we believe you. We do. It’s just… maybe this was a scam. Maybe whoever handled the booking wasn’t legit.”Jason turned to them now, slowly. His voice was low but firm. “Be the last to say that.”Camilla froze.“I know what I’m doing,” he said, his tone sharper now. “I personally booked this place myself. I didn’t go through any agency. I called. I spoke to someone. I got the confirmation directly from the top.”Camilla’s breath caught. What?Her friend’s eyes widened. “Wait… you… b
CHAPTER 216
Upon hearing what Jason just said, The security man let out a deep laugh. Not the amused kind—but the dismissive, scoffing kind that came from a place of disbelief and condescension.“You?” he chuckled, shaking his head slowly as he folded his arms. “You really just said that?”Immediately Camilla and her friend turned their eyes toward Jason, startled by the sudden shift in tone.However Jason remained still, calm, his eyes locked on the guard.The man pointed a thick finger at Jason’s chest. “As small as you are—what are you? Maybe second year in university? You don’t even look like someone who has finished growing. And you’re here… threatening me?”He scoffed louder now, eyes scanning Jason’s simple, clean outfit. “Look at you. You think just because you wore a shirt with a collar, and you brought two pretty girls here, suddenly you're the king of the city?”Hearing his words Jason’s jaw tightened slightly, but he didn’t speak.The guard leaned in a little, his breath sharp with mo
CHAPTER 215
At that moment Camilla didn’t flinch. She squared her shoulders and stepped forward again. “Do you think we’re just some ordinary kids? That children don’t come from wealthy families anymore?”However The security man didn’t answer at first. His gaze flicked between her firm expression and the phone in her hand. At that moment he adjusted his belt, the corner of his mouth twitching upward as if he’d heard a joke only he understood.“My grandfather has booked Pasumi Kazoo before,” she added, her voice rising, “Once, in fact. So don’t stand there and act like we don’t belong.”Her words hung in the air. Sharp. Unapologetic.Upon hearing what Camila The security man chuckled. It wasn’t mocking—it was more of a tired laugh, the kind that came from someone who’d seen too much. He folded his arms. “I get it. You’re trying to stand your ground. That’s good. But right now, you're just behaving like a child.”Camilla’s breath caught.He went on, shaking his head slightly. “Even if your grandf

Seeing what Jason just did Camilla blinked as Jason slipped his phone back into his pocket. “Wait… that’s it?” she whispered, glancing at her friend, then back at Jason.However Jason didn’t reply. He stood calm, his hands relaxed by his sides, his eyes fixed ahead like he was simply waiting for something he already knew would happen.Immediately Camilla’s friend leaned in and whispered, “He didn’t even say a full sentence… just one line? That’s who he called?”“Yeah,” Camilla muttered, her voice soft but unsure. “He didn’t even sound worried.”At that moment a strange tension settled over them—quiet but heavy. Then Camilla bit her lip, half in confusion, half in nervousness.Across the road, the group of friends who had been laughing earlier were still recording. One of them zoomed in and chuckled. “Oh wow, he really made a call. What now, Jason? Is a helicopter coming to pick you up?”Hearing what they just said, The security guard snorted, folding his arms in front of the entrance.
CHAPTER 213
Jason’s pace slowed a little when he spotted Camilla and her friend standing outside the elegant entrance of Pasu Mikazu. His brows furrowed.He couldn't believe they were still outside? They should’ve been inside by now, soaking in the ambiance, not lingering by the door like they didn’t belong.He stepped closer, a light crease forming between his brows as he approached them.“Hey,” he said, glancing between Camilla and her friend, “what’s going on? Why are you two still out here?”Immediately Camilla gave a short sigh, folding her arms slightly across her waist. She looked embarrassed, but also slightly frustrated.“It’s… the security man,” she said softly, gesturing toward the well-dressed but stern-looking man guarding the entrance. “He said we can’t go in.”Hearing what Camila just said, Jason blinked. “What? Why not? You have the invitation, don’t you?”“We do,” she nodded, pulling out her phone. “But he said the QR code looks fake. Apparently, they’ve been having a lot of onl
CHAPTER 212
The boys coughed and winced where they lay, nursing bruises and swallowing the bitter taste of humiliation. Their breaths came short, their faces a mix of confusion, pain, and fear. One of them, still holding onto his ribs, forced out a shaky voice."Yes, yes—we didn’t mean it!" he said, gasping.“Honestly,” another added, his voice trembling as he wiped a streak of dirt off his cheek, “we were just trying to scare you, that’s all. Just scare tactics… so you’d back down, apologize. That’s what we wanted.”Jason stood still, letting their words hang in the air like a weak excuse trying to find wings. His eyes scanned the group—ten of them, and not one could meet his gaze directly. The fear now written across their faces was thick, raw, almost pitiful.“Oh… now I understand,” Jason said slowly, his voice dangerously calm. “So it was all for show? The threats? The ambush? The part where you were going to break all ten of my fingers?”A nervous chuckle slipped out from one of the boys, bu
CHAPTER 211
One of them stepped forward—tall, lean, and arrogant, with a twisted grin that made Jason’s jaw tighten.“You know, Jason,” the guy said, cracking his knuckles, “you’re a very troublesome person.”Jason didn’t respond. His silence only seemed to encourage them.“Word around is,” another chimed in from behind, “you’ve fought with a bunch of people in this school already. You're always in some drama, right? Always in trouble. Always causing something.”Jason gave a faint smirk, but his eyes stayed focused. He could already see where this was going.“Thing is,” the first guy continued, circling him like a vulture, “tonight, there’s no crowd. No cameras. No teachers. No referees to save you. Just us. And you.”Someone behind laughed. “Yeah, and we’ve already got our story cooked up. When they ask, we’ll say you attacked us first. That you were angry because we told you the truth—that you were cheating in the game.”“That’s right,” another added quickly, “you got mad, lost your cool, and s
CHAPTER 210
Jason smiled, just a little. A tired, knowing smile.Now he understood.Now he understood why some players probably lost to these guys on purpose—why they didn't give their all on the court. Because the moment you did, the moment you showed your worth, they came after you. Not with a handshake or a respectful nod like true sportsmen—but with bitterness and threats. This wasn’t competition. This was insecurity masked as pride.Jason let out a quiet sigh, not one of fear, but of disappointment.He looked each of them in the eye, one after the other, calm and composed.“You know,” he said slowly, “this explains a lot.”The tallest one raised a brow, confused. “What are you talking about?”“This,” Jason said, gesturing casually at the group, “this attitude right here… it’s why people probably let you win in the past. It’s easier than dealing with this kind of behavior.”One of them scowled. “You think we care what people think?”“No,” Jason said plainly. “That’s the problem. You don’t car
CHAPTER 209
The entire gymnasium erupted like fireworks exploding in waves of celebration. Students from Jason’s school stormed the court, screaming and chanting his name like he was a hero in a movie come to life.“Jason! MVP! MVP!”Some were laughing. Some were crying. Everyone was jumping, hugging, high-fiving like they had just won the championship—even though it was just a qualifier. But that didn’t matter. What mattered was Jason, the so-called rookie, the boy nobody believed in, had just pulled off the impossible.Camilla’s name started floating in whispers.“No wonder she’s dating him.”“I mean—did you see that last shot?”“He’s not just fine, he’s a genius. That boy is gifted.”People were already editing Instagram stories and posting clips of Jason’s fourth-quarter domination, tagging it with: “MVP of the year.” Even the school’s teachers who had come to watch looked dumbfounded but deeply proud.Meanwhile, the opposing school’s side was dead silent. You could almost hear their heartbre
