The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 137
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

At that moment The silence in the room was suffocating as Jason’s question hung in the air.Immediately the men on the couches exchanged glances before one of them smirked, rising to his feet. “You’ve got a lot of nerve barging in here,” he sneered, cracking his knuckles as he took a step toward Jason.However Jason didn’t respond. His eyes remained fixed on the group, his stance steady, every muscle in his body coiled like a spring. At that moment Another man, emboldened by his friend, stood up as well, grabbing an empty bottle from the table.“Looks like we’ve got ourselves a hero,” he mocked, twirling the bottle in his hand. “Let’s show him how we handle nosy bastards.”At that moment the first man lunged at Jason, swinging a wild punch.Immediately Jason shifted effortlessly, grabbing the man’s wrist and twisting it with brutal precision. At that moment a sickening crack echoed through the room as the man howled in pain, collapsing to his knees.Seeing what just happened the s

At that moment Jason hesitated at the base of the stairs before following Summer’s father up to her room. He told himself it was to be sure she’d be alright, but a part of him felt an unspoken pull—a need to see her one last time for before he leaves.However As they entered her bedroom, Jason’s eyes were immediately drawn to the walls. His breath caught in his throat. Hanging on her walls, carefully framed and displayed, were several of his old paintings. Paintings he had created during his early days at the university, when he was still finding his style. They were raw, imperfect, but filled with emotion—pieces of himself he hadn’t thought anyone cared for. Yet here they were, decorating Summer’s space like prized possessions.At that moment he moved closer to one, his fingers brushing the edge of the frame. The colors, the strokes—it was as if he was seeing them for the first time through someone else’s eyes. His chest tightened.“She kept these?” he said himself, his mind swirlin

After the call Jason drive to the Major hotel.Not long after he arrived and parked his car outside the Hotel, the grandeur of the building gleaming under the city lights.At that moment He adjusted his jacket, taking a deep breath before stepping through the grand revolving doors. As soon as he entered the private hall reserved for their meeting, he noticed the room was already filled with an air of reverence and anticipation.Waiting for his arrival.Seated were Giovanni Hades, the feared and respected king of the underworld; George Winston, the city’s influential mayor; Liam Jones, renowned as the miracle doctor; and Benjamin Franklin, the business tycoon whose name was synonymous with success. At that moment, at the sight of Jason, they all stood up and, to his surprise, dropped to their knees in unison.“Master,” they said in unison, their voices filled with respect.However Jason’s expression remained calm, though he felt the weight of the moment. “Stand up,” he said, his to

At that moment Jason’s jaw tightened, and he glanced down at the ring on his finger, its gleaming surface catching the light. His thoughts swirled as the full picture of his family’s history came into focus. He now understood the burden he carried, the responsibility etched into his bloodline.“Master Jason,” Giovanni Hades spoke up, his tone uncharacteristically soft, “you are the one who will restore what was lost. We are here to serve you, to ensure the prophecy becomes a reality—not through fear, but through the wisdom and strength of your lineage.”Hearing what Giovanni just said.Jason nodded slowly, his gaze still fixed on the ring. “This,” he murmured, “is only ten percent of my power, yet I’ve already reached the grandmaster realm. If this is what ten percent feels like…” He trailed off, his voice heavy with determination.The room was silent as everyone absorbed the significance of his words. Jason looked up, his eyes burning with resolve. The path forward was clearer now, a

At that moment Jason stepped out of the grand entrance of the Mayor Hotel, the cool evening air brushing against his face. The weight of the meeting lingered in his thoughts, but he knew he had to shift focus. School awaited. Sliding into his sleek car, he started the engine and drove towards campus, the city’s lights reflecting on the windshield.As he parked near the dormitory building, his phone buzzed with a message. Pulling it out, he saw it was from Camila.[Next week is my birthday,] the message read. [My grandfather wants us to spend it together. Just the two of us. He wants pictures of us having fun to be sent to him.]At that moment Jason leaned back in his seat, his lips twitching into a faint smile. Just the two of us, he thought. The words hung in the air like a quiet challenge. He typed back a quick response: [Okay, no problem.]Pocketing his phone, Jason stepped out of the car, locking it behind him.However his expression shifted to its usual neutral calm as he headed

At the Private Dinner TableThe weight of Jason’s words settled over the room like a storm brewing on the horizon.No one spoke for a second—not because they didn’t want to, but because they didn’t know how to respond.Rio Grade Design.That wasn’t just any company.That was the company.A fortress of exclusivity.A place where money, family influence, and powerful connections meant nothing.You either earned your way in—or you were nobody to them.And yet, Jason just said he had connections there.A sharp laugh broke the silence.Dry. Disbelieving.The guy in the navy suit, who had been questioning Jason all night, shook his head.“Do you even hear yourself?” he scoffed, leaning forward.His eyes gleamed with frustration, like he was trying to convince himself Jason was lying.“No one has connections in Rio Grade Design.”A few people nodded, murmuring in agreement.A girl in gold silk folded her arms.“That company doesn’t allow outsiders to pull strings. That’s their whole reputati
CHAPTER 176
At the Private Dinner TableThe weight of Jason’s words settled over the room like a storm waiting to break.The laughter was gone.The mocking smirks had disappeared.Now, there was only stunned silence.Because if what Jason was saying was true…Then he wasn’t just some random junior.He was someone who had walked into DF Shopping Mall, dropped five million dollars in cash, and walked out with a dress that had been untouched for years.A dress that even the richest among them wouldn’t dare to touch.The murmurs spread.A few people leaned toward each other, whispering.Camila could see it—the doubt, the disbelief, but also… the curiosity.They wanted to challenge him.They wanted to tear the story apart.But the problem was… they couldn’t.Because the rumor was real.Everyone in their world had heard it—that someone had bought the DF symbol dress for five million dollars in cash.And now—Jason was saying it was him.Someone finally broke the silence.A guy in a gray suit, his voice
CHAPTER 175
At the Private Dinner TableThe air remained thick even after everyone sat back down.Jason could feel it.The way their eyes still lingered on him, waiting, expecting him to slip.Camila’s defense had stopped them—for now.But it hadn’t changed their minds.They still thought he was a fraud.A scammer.And now, they wanted proof.The guy in the navy suit smirked, tapping his finger against the rim of his wine glass.“So, Jason.” His voice was smooth, calculated. “Since you were keeping a low profile, prove it.”A few people nodded in agreement.Some even leaned forward slightly, intrigued.Jason could tell—they weren’t just asking.They were challenging him.Because if he failed to prove himself here, whatever respect he had gained would vanish instantly.Camila crossed her arms, irritation flickering in her gaze.“Seriously?” she scoffed.“You just asked him all these questions, accused him of being a con artist, and now you want proof? What, are we in court?”A few people chuckled
CHAPTER 174
At the Private Dinner TableThe pressure in the room was thick.Jason was being scrutinized, tested.Camila could feel it—the weight of their stares, the unspoken challenge in their words.They weren’t just curious.They wanted to see him fail.To prove that he was nothing.Her fingers tightened slightly around her fork.Then—she cleared her throat.Loud enough for everyone to hear.“Alright, that’s enough.”Her voice was firm, sharp.The entire table paused.Camila leaned forward slightly, her eyes scanning each of them.“This isn’t an interview for my boyfriend. This is my pre-birthday party.”Her tone hardened.“Why the hell are you all asking him these questions? Are you trying to say I’m lying?”A heavy silence followed.For a moment, no one spoke.Then, someone sighed, shaking their head.“No one’s saying that, Camila. We were just curious.”A few people nodded, pretending to back off.Camila could tell—they weren’t dropping it.They were just changing tactics.And sure enough—
CHAPTER 173
At the Private Dinner TableThe atmosphere shifted the moment Jason stood up.No hesitation. No nerves. Just pure confidence.Camila's classmates exchanged glances, some amused, some intrigued.“Wait, is he actually serious?” someone murmured.A girl in a wine-colored dress covered her mouth, stifling a giggle. “He’s really going to play?”Somebody in a navy suit, the one who had pulled up the video, leaned back in his chair, smirking.“This should be interesting.”Jason didn’t acknowledge any of them.His movements were calm, calculated.He walked toward the sleek, black keyboard that had just been brought in.The hotel staff carefully positioned it, making sure it was properly set up.The air was thick with anticipation.Some expected him to fail.Others just wanted to see what he’d do.Camila, however, was holding her breath.Her thoughts raced.Jason had never played the piano in front of her.He had never even mentioned it.So… was he bluffing?Was this just another act of defian
CHAPTER 172
Outside the Private SuiteCamila walked up to Jason, her posture poised as always, but there was a slight stiffness in her movements.She exhaled softly before speaking.“Jason, I’m sorry.”Jason tilted his head slightly, his eyes calm and unreadable.“For what?”Camila hesitated for just a fraction of a second before answering.“For not telling you about the pre-birthday party.”Jason let out a quiet chuckle, shaking his head.“There’s nothing to apologize for.”Camila’s brows furrowed slightly, sensing something off in his tone.Then Jason spoke again, his voice calm, distant.“Our relationship is fake anyway.”Her fingers curled slightly.Something about the way he said it—like it was a fact, like it was obvious—bothered her.Not because he was mistaken.But because lately, she had started to forget that.She had gotten used to him.To having him around.To the way he never tried to impress her, never treated her like she was above him.And yet, here he was—reminding her.Camila to

Jason leaned back slightly, his expression still unreadable.“Camila didn’t tell me.”Camila’s grandfather exhaled, shaking his head.“Of course, she didn’t,” he muttered. “That girl only thinks about herself sometimes.”Jason remained silent.The old man continued, his tone firmer now.“She left this morning to join her classmates for the pre-birthday party.”Jason’s eyes narrowed slightly.She had already gone ahead without saying a word to him?Camila had always been impulsive, but something about this still felt off.Her grandfather, as if sensing his thoughts, leaned forward.“I want you to be there, Jason.”His voice was not a request.Jason met his gaze. “Why?”The old man exhaled again, this time more slowly. “Last year, when Camila’s classmates held this pre-birthday celebration, everyone came with their boyfriend or girlfriend.”His eyes darkened slightly.“Everyone… except Camila.”Jason said nothing, but he could already see where this was going.“She was the only one ther

At that moment Jason leaned back slightly, his gaze calm, unwavering.“I’ll pay the amount,” he said smoothly. “But on one condition.”The CEO raised an eyebrow. “Oh?”Jason’s smirk deepened. “You have to announce publicly that someone purchased the dress for thirty million dollars.”At that A beat of silence followed.Then—The woman’s eyes flickered with something unreadable.The room itself felt heavier.For the first time in their conversation, she didn’t respond immediately.Instead, she studied him carefully, as if trying to find a crack in his confidence.Did he really have that kind of money?Did he even flinch at the price?No.He was completely composed.As if thirty million dollars was nothing.Her fingers lightly tapped against her armrest as she exhaled slowly.“…Interesting,” she murmured.Jason didn’t blink. “So? Is it a deal?”The woman was silent for another second—then, surprisingly, she reached out her hand.Jason took it.They shook hands.It wasn’t just an agreem
CHAPTER 169
At that moment Jason leaned back in his chair, his expression calm, almost amused.“How much are you willing to pay for me to return the dress?”The CEO studied him for a moment, then smirked.“I’ll give you two million dollars.”Jason raised an eyebrow. “Two million?”She nodded. “You’ve already taken all the praise for buying it. Giving you the full amount would be a loss for me.”At that moment Jason exhaled lightly, as if he found the situation ridiculous.Then, he shook his head. “That won’t work for me.”The woman arched a brow. “Oh? And why not?”Jason’s gaze didn’t waver. “Because if people see that the dress is back in the store in less than a day,” he said smoothly, “then I’d be the biggest loser of them all.”His tone was calm, but firm.The CEO’s smirk faltered slightly.Jason continued, his voice dropping just a notch lower. “If you really want the dress back, give me ten million dollars, and I’ll hand it over.”The scene went silent.For a moment, there was nothing but
