The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 196
The moment the words sank in—that the Miracle Doctor had actually agreed—Alyssa’s eyes widened, her mouth slightly agape like she’d misheard. Her hands rose to her lips, then dropped to her chest, where she could feel her heart pounding wildly. She blinked several times, unable to hide the emotion rushing through her like a wave of warm light."Wait... did he just say yes?" she whispered, almost to herself.When no one answered, she turned to Jason for confirmation, her voice trembling, "Jason… is this real?"Jason gave a soft smile. “Yes, Alyssa. It’s real.”Upon hearing what Jason just said, Her knees nearly buckled from the overwhelming joy. For a moment, she didn’t care who was watching. She laughed through her tears, a stunned kind of joy, the kind that fills lungs with hope and makes the air feel different.She grabbed Jason’s hands and squeezed tightly. “Thank you. Thank you so much.”Camilla stood nearby, her eyes glassy with emotion. She had known Jason was different, but t

Jason stepped slightly away from the others, slipping his phone from his pocket when he saw Summer’s name glowing on the screen. He answered with a low, calm “Hello,” and pressed the phone to his ear.“Jason,” Summer's voice came through fast, tight, filled with concern. “I just got off a call with my dad. Something’s wrong. They announced the new executive director as you—but the actual contract was delivered to my father’s name. He’s the one assigned, not you. But the public statement made it seem like it’s you. What… what did you do?”Jason glanced up toward the sky briefly, his voice composed. “I did that,” he said. “I asked them to announce it that way.”“What?” Summer’s voice cracked slightly in disbelief.“It’s better this way, Summer,” Jason said gently. “If they knew your father was the one behind that position, a lot of people would’ve started digging. He's better off not being in the spotlight until everything is stable. Trust me on this.”There was a long silence on the ot
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 198
At that moment Summer’s brow furrowed slightly as she watched her younger sister retreat back toward the hallway with Jason. Her gaze lingered on their backs a little longer than necessary. Something didn’t sit right.“Wait,” she said, walking forward slowly. “Is there… something going on between the two of you?”At that moment Jason turned slightly, confusion flickering in his eyes, while her younger sister immediately waved her hand in protest.“No—nothing like that!” she said quickly, forcing a small, nervous laugh. “We’re just… friends now. That’s all. I mean, he helped us today. Is it wrong to be respectful?”Hearing what her sister just said Summer didn’t say anything at first. She just stared, quiet but sharp-eyed. Jason offered her a small smile, as if to say she was overthinking. “Summer,” he said gently, “you don’t have to worry.”But before she could respond, her sister did something unexpected—she looped her arm into Jason’s and tugged him playfully toward the hallway.

Jason stood up from the dining table, politely nodding at everyone as he thanked Summer’s father for the warm meal. Though smiles and laughter had filled the room moments ago, something unspoken still lingered in the air. Especially between him and Summer.He valued her. Not just because of what she’d done for him or what they’d been through, but because of the quiet bond they’d slowly built. A bond he didn’t want to break. Jason wasn’t blind—he could sense things were shifting, but he chose not to assume. He respected boundaries, and if friendship was all they could ever share, then he’d treasure it fully.“Some feelings are better left alone,” he thought to himself, his hands casually brushing against his pants as he walked to the door. “Summer wouldn’t even want that. So why entertain it?”Summer followed closely behind, clutching her phone in one hand. She didn’t say anything at first. Her eyes kept flickering toward Jason, then quickly away.Her younger sister, eyes mischievous a

Roland slowly turned toward him. His lips parted slightly as if to argue—but then stopped. For the first time, there was hesitation in his eyes.Valerie looked between them, catching the shift.“It’s a desperate move,” she said carefully. “But it might be our only card.”Another executive chimed in, “And if we play it now, maybe—just maybe—he’ll bite.”The room went silent again, this time not from fear, but from possibility.Then one voice broke through.“Should we just… call him back?” someone asked. “And give him—at least—try to give him a better deal than what they just offered him in that other company?”The tension in the boardroom thickened like fog after a storm.Silence stretched—painfully, uncomfortably.A middle-aged executive with a graying beard slammed his fist lightly on the table. “No,” he said, his voice low but filled with certainty. “That’s not going to work. That’s not even the point anymore.”Eyes turned to him, confused.He continued, “What better deal can we eve

He looked around, searching the room for agreement, but none came.He gave a bitter smile and shrugged. “Well, that’s my opinion. That’s my own cup of tea, like they say.”Then he leaned back, arms crossed. “But as long as I’m here, one thing is certain—whether anyone else sees it or not—I like Jason. And I’m going to make sure that this relationship he’s having with Camilla? It’s not going to end. It’s going to continue. Camilla is going to continue.”The room fell into an uneasy hush the moment Jason stepped in. Faces stiffened. Some forced polite smiles. Others didn’t even try. The air was thick with judgment—silent whispers hidden behind glances, as if they all silently agreed that Jason didn’t belong.Camilla stood a few steps behind him, her hands folded tightly in front of her. She could feel it too—the tension, the quiet disbelief rippling through the air.One of the cousins muttered under his breath, “He’s just a university student… What’s he doing here in a suit?”Another ch
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 202
The silence that followed was no longer disbelief—it was stunned realization.Her grandfather slowly looked at her, eyes wide. “He… came?” he said, almost in a whisper, as if the words themselves were too heavy to carry.And for the first time in a very long while, Camilla saw something on her grandfather’s face that she wasn’t used to seeing—uncertainty.Even her uncle, usually quick to argue or brush things aside, was staring at her like she had just said the sky had fallen.“He came?”“What happened? How is that even possible?” Camilla’s uncle couldn’t hold it in anymore. His voice trembled slightly, his earlier disbelief quickly turning into desperate curiosity.Camilla nodded slowly. “He came.”The room fell silent again.“He really came,” she repeated. “The Miracle Doctor. He showed up.”Her grandfather’s jaw tightened as he leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, trying to make sense of it all. “You’re telling me that the Miracle Doctor came to this hospital… because J
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 203
Camilla’s voice was steady, but her heartbeat was not.“Some of the doctors actually witnessed it,” she said, her eyes scanning the room, daring anyone to interrupt again. “They were the ones who came out begging Jason to help them speak to the Miracle Doctor. But Jason didn’t say a word to them. He didn’t even look in their direction.”Her grandfather slowly removed his reading glasses, the lenses catching a gleam of light as he placed them gently on the side table. His brows creased, not out of anger, but out of the sheer weight of what he was hearing. “Wait…” he muttered. “So you mean… this wasn’t just some quiet private visit?”Camilla shook her head. “No. Everyone at that hospital knows about it now. You can go there and confirm it. The staff—especially the senior doctors—they’re all talking. It’s everywhere. They saw it with their own eyes. My friend’s case… it was beyond repair. She had no pulse, her leg was crushed, and yet, after he came… everything changed.”Her grandfather

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
CHAPTER 208
A thick silence settled in the room. The tension was sharp enough to slice through.Then one of the men, the same one who’d been flipping his pen between his fingers since the meeting started, finally leaned forward and broke it.“What if he’s hiding something?” His voice was cautious, almost accusing. “A special ingredient? A catalyst that wasn’t listed in the video?”A few heads turned his way. The thought lingered in the air, heavy and unsettling.For a moment, no one responded.Then a man at the far end of the table, older and sharper in tone, sat up and said firmly, “We’ve all seen the footage. Watched it frame by frame. The way he handled it—every motion, every measurement—it was clean, intentional, and consistent. No hesitation. No room for secret ingredients.”Someone else nodded. “Exactly. He didn’t pause, didn’t second-guess himself. And the product? It performed exactly as described. If he had some hidden technique, it would’ve shown up in his rhythm, his flow. But everythi
CHAPTER 207
By the third quarter, the scoreboard glared back with an unforgiving truth—80 to 30. The gym buzzed, but not with hope. Greyhill’s fans were practically dancing in the stands, taunting louder with every basket, every steal. “Third year in a row!” they screamed.On the court, Jason stood still for a moment, hands on his knees, sweat dripping, chest rising steadily—but not from exhaustion. It was restraint. Every time he sprinted into open space, his hands ready, eyes calling for the ball, it never came. Not once.Instead, Marvin tried a contested jumper from the side and missed.Alex forced a drive into the paint and got blocked.“Again?” the coach growled from the sideline, yanking off his cap and throwing it down.Jason stayed calm, even though his fists were clenching tighter now.He wasn’t invisible.They were ignoring him on purpose.The tension had been building ever since that locker room talk weeks ago—when Jason said they needed to play smarter, not just harder. Marvin didn’t
CHAPTER 206
Camilla’s words lingered in the air, calm but firm, and her grandfather blinked slowly as if trying to process the depth of what she just said. The living room fell quiet for a moment, only the ticking of the antique wall clock echoing faintly.“I understand what you’re saying,” her grandfather finally spoke, his voice softer now but still carrying the weight of authority. “But Camilla… when I see a man like that—Jason—walk into this family, do what he’s done, speak the way he speaks… I see legacy. I see someone who will protect you, who will lead with strength. We’ve waited too long for someone of his kind.”Camilla swallowed. “I know, Papa. And I see it too. But I don’t want to rush him into something he’s not ready for. He’s someone who doesn’t move just because people say he should. He moves when he’s ready—when it feels right.”Her uncle sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. “I hate to admit it,” he muttered, “but the boy’s different. I’ve watched how people respond to him. Tha
CHAPTER 205
Everyone sat in silence, eyes wide and hearts unsettled.Camilla’s voice had been calm but full of conviction, and it stirred something in the room. “Jason is not just who we think he is. He’s someone with a past—maybe not the kind we can see or measure—but it’s there. And whatever it is, it made him who he is now.”Her words fell heavy.Her grandfather blinked slowly, trying to piece together the weight behind what she had just said. Her uncle leaned forward, confused and visibly shaken. “What are you saying, Camilla?”Camilla didn’t blink. “I’m saying I’ve seen enough. I’ve seen what he can do. I’ve watched how people treat him, how even the Miracle Doctor bows his head and how top hospitals make way when he speaks. This isn’t luck. This isn’t arrogance. It’s presence. He carries something we don’t understand. And I’ve reached the point where I don’t need to understand it anymore to trust him.”Her voice didn’t shake. There was no hesitation.Her grandfather slowly nodded, more to h
CHAPTER 204
The room had fallen into an eerie silence, only the faint hum of the chandelier above reminding them they were still seated in the grandeur of the Maximilian estate. Camilla’s fingers nervously brushed over her skirt as she glanced between her grandfather and uncle. Their eyes were fixed on her, waiting—demanding—for answers.“It’s just too much,” her uncle muttered, leaning back, his brows furrowed tightly. “How can one person do all of this and no one even knows who he really is? Who is Jason? How is that even possible?”Camilla exhaled slowly. Her voice came quiet at first, almost unsure. “I don’t know if this is bigger than what the Miracle Doctor did… but it’s big,” she said, locking eyes with her grandfather. “It’s just as big.”Her grandfather straightened up, clearly intrigued. His hands clasped the armrest of his chair with a slight tremble—not from age, but from anticipation.“Camilla,” he said, his tone soft but commanding. “Say it. I’m anxious to hear what it is.”She nodd
