The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre 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
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre 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
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre 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
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre 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
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre CHAPTER 217
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.
The Pre-eminent Jason Spectre 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

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

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

Summer stared at Jason, her mouth slightly open, but no words came out.What he just said… it caught her completely off guard.Everything she had been rehearsing in her mind—how she would start, what she would say, even the tone she would use—just vanished like smoke. Her hands, which had been resting nervously on the table, stiffened. She couldn't even think straight, much less find the right words to say to him.Her mind raced, panic threatening to take over.What if he reacts badly? What if he misunderstands?But deep down, Summer knew she couldn’t back down. She had to say it, no matter how messy it came out.She lowered her eyes briefly, gathering the last bit of courage she had left."Camila called me today," she finally said, her voice not as steady as she wished it would be. "She said... they're going to have a meeting. She said I'm going to be... following everything that's going to happen."Summer lifted her gaze slowly to meet Jason’s, trying to read his expression but find
CHAPTER 234
Jason sat in his car for a moment, his fingers tapping against the steering wheel. The anticipation gnawed at him. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off with Soma. He had tried to brush it off, but the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became.He turned the engine over and drove to the place where he was supposed to meet her. The drive seemed to stretch longer than usual, as if the roads themselves were teasing him, making him question what was coming next.When he arrived, Soma was already seated. Her back was straight, her arms crossed, and her eyes were fixed on the ground, but the tension in her posture was unmistakable. The slight furrow of her brow, the clenching of her jaw—it all painted a picture of frustration. But it was the mix of emotions in her eyes that threw him off. There was anger, yes, but there was also something else. Something softer, yet heavy with worry.Jason walked toward her, his steps deliberate. As he stood before her, he couldn’t
CHAPTER 233
Summer sat on her bed, restless. Her fingers tapped nervously on the edge of her phone until she finally gave in and dialed Jason’s number. It didn’t even ring twice before he picked up.“Hello?” Jason’s voice came through, slightly muffled, like he was moving around.“Jason,” Summer said quickly, not wasting time. “There’s something I need to talk to you about. It’s important.”Jason paused. “Alright,” he replied. “But I’m with the guys right now. We’re about to head to the gym. You know that fight competition is in a few weeks, and I need to stay sharp. I was planning to do some sparring—flex the muscles a bit. I promise we can talk after, okay?”Summer’s heart dropped. Her brows pinched in disbelief. She sat up straight, her tone sharp and cut through the line.“Jason,” she said coldly, “don’t even think about doing that. I’m serious.”Jason froze on the other end, confused. “What? It’s just training, Summer. I’ve done it before—”“No,” she snapped. “Don’t try it. Don’t be stupid.”
CHAPTER 232
when Summer heard what Camilla just said, there was a sharp stillness on her end of the call. Her hand clenched unconsciously at her side, and for a few seconds, she said nothing. Her heart thumped like a drum against her chest, but her voice—when it came—was calm, even a little cheerful.“Oh… wow,” Summer said, forcing out a laugh. “That’s… that’s great, Camilla. I mean, truly. I’m happy for both of you.”Camilla didn’t catch the falter in her tone. Summer had trained herself well to hide things like this.“Thanks, Summer. I knew you’d understand,” Camilla said warmly. “That’s why I called you. Because I know how close you and Jason are.”Summer’s throat tightened. She bit her lower lip so hard she nearly broke the skin. “Yeah,” she replied quietly. “Anything you both want to do, I’m fully in support of it. Anything at all.”But even as she spoke, her chest was burning.She was trying to be strong—trying to say the right things—but her thoughts were racing in all the wrong directions
CHAPTER 231
Summer just kept smiling, her tone sweet, calm—too calm. She nodded slowly as Camilla spoke, not giving anything away. “That’s how Jason is,” she said, her voice soft but steady. “He’s the kind of person who would move mountains for someone, even if they don’t ask. He always pays attention to the little things. You’re lucky.”Camilla let out a dry laugh, folding her arms as she studied Summer’s face carefully. She didn’t like that response. It sounded too perfect, too rehearsed. There was no twitch of envy, no shift in her expression—just a practiced smile.That silence felt loud.“So,” Camilla started, tilting her head, “you’re not surprised Jason booked out Pasumi Kazoo?”Summer blinked, her brows lifted a bit. “I mean, it’s Jason. He does impossible things and makes it look simple.”Camilla’s lips pressed into a thin line. She looked away for a moment, then back at her. “That’s exactly what worries me,” she muttered under her breath.Summer tilted her head. “What?”“Nothing.” Camil
CHAPTER 230
Camilla sat beside her grandfather in the garden behind the estate. The quiet hum of the fountain nearby was the only sound between them. Her grandfather’s face had that thoughtful crease again—one she’d come to recognize when something serious was weighing on him.“So,” he said slowly, his eyes still fixed on the koi fish swimming in circles, “this Jason... The person who introduced him to you... was it a guy or a lady?”Camilla didn’t look up right away. She picked at the edge of her sleeve, trying to act normal, though her chest was already tightening with anticipation. “A lady,” she replied.Her grandfather finally turned to face her, his tone unreadable. “A lady?”There was a long pause.Bit by bit, something began to settle in the old man’s heart. Something he couldn’t quite place. His fingers tapped his cane lightly. The first bit—doubt.He wasn’t sure he liked this. Not because Jason wasn’t remarkable. No, that was clear. The young man had done more than enough to prove himsel
CHAPTER 229
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
