Jeremy and the rest were frozen in their positions when they saw the manager walk in. Their eyes were wide with shock, and some of them even gasped. It was clear they hadn’t expected to see him there.Jeremy, still a bit nervous, tried to explain the situation.“Sir Jason is poor and needs help; he can't afford anything here.”However, the manager didn't listen to what Jeremy just said; instead, he looked at them with a serious face and said.“Mr.Jason might be poor, but that doesn’t mean he’s not smart. He knows more than you think.”The words hung in the air, making Jeremy and his friends feel even more surprised.Jeremy, still unsure of what was happening; he didn't want to make any mistakes, quickly pointed at Jason.“It’s him, sir.” Jeremy said, his voice dripping with mockery.“But he’s just wasting your time. Jason’s poor! He can’t afford something like that, please don't waste your energy on him, he's useless, very useless.”Jeremy realized the manager must have heard about
Jason just smiled seeing the turn of events. The once mocking and sneering atmosphere had turned into one of stunned silence, with everyone staring at him in disbelief. The manager, after finalizing the purchase, asked where Jason would like the suit to be delivered. For a moment, Jason considered his options. He didn’t want the suit delivered to his dormitory; that would attract too much attention. Besides, he wasn’t ready to show it off just yet. It's not just yet the time and seeing the suit; they would start thinking something else even if he tells them it was fake; the quality of the suit speaks for itself, so it's a bad idea.“No, don’t deliver it.”Jason said, his voice steady and composed. “Keep it here for now. I’ll decide when to pick it up later.”The manager nodded respectfully, understanding Jason’s wish.“Of course, sir. We’ll store it safely for you. Whenever you’re ready, just let us know, and we’ll make sure it’s ready for you.”As Jason spoke, he was already forming
Jason stepped out of the store, feeling the cool breeze brush against his face. He had just picked up some snacks and a drink, thinking about how to spend the rest of the evening after a successful shopping and finally getting his revenge on Jeremy. When his phone buzzed in his pocket, startling him a little.It was an unknown caller. Jason stared at the screen for a moment, unsure whether to pick it up or not. Finally, with a slight hesitation, he answered the call.“Hello?” Jason said, his voice steady but curious.“Jason, it’s Camila Joseph.”A familiar yet distant voice spoke on the other end. “I’ve heard everything from Summer. I’m sending someone to pick you up. Make sure you dress up nicely.”At that moment, Jason’s mind raced, hearing Camila Joseph's voice. He hadn’t expected her to call, especially not today. He thought it would take weeks or months, but why so fast? There was a brief pause as he processed what Camilla just said.“Okay, I’ll be ready.”Jason replied, tryi
At that moment, Jason stood protectively in front of the young girl. Her eyes were wide with fear, her body trembling as she clung to the hope that Jason could save her.Jason still doesn't understand what is going on. He gazed around, and he couldn't see anyone, and the girl had refused to say anything.Without being told, he could tell she is scared to the core.Jason face her again and was about to say something when seven rough-looking men emerged from the shadows.Upon seeing the men, the little girl's hope began to falter. She thought she had successfully run away, and with someone here, they wouldn't be able to get her, but she was wrong. These men looked like ruffians, with hardened faces and cruel smiles—the kind that made someone stomach twist in knots.One of the ruffians, a tall, muscular man with a scar running down his cheek, stepped forward. His voice was rough and commanding.“The boss is waiting inside. Come with us now and make things easy for yourself.”His word
His face set in a serious expression as he asked her the question.His eyes were cold, and his jaw was tight, showing that he was ready for whatever was coming.However, the girl's hands started shaking as she tried to keep up with the fast pace of everything that had happened to her. She looked scared, her eyes wide, and her breathing quick and shallow.The girl glanced at Jason, her voice trembling as she said.“You don’t know what you’re doing. The boss of these rascals—he’s an underground lord. This is his territory. No one dares to offend him here and i mean no one because he controls everything.”Her voice was small, like she was afraid that someone might hear her and tell the boss that she was saying something to a stranger.Jason didn’t get his gaze off her. He didn’t even look at her to make her feel comfortable, but instead he wants to end every mess that is going on in her life. She is too young for it. “I don’t care who the boss is.” He said calmly, his voice steady b
The door to the private room flew open with a loud bang, startling everyone inside. They all gazed at Jason with dead eyes. The Junior Master, a tall man with a low beard and a cruel look in his eyes, turned his head sharply toward the sound. He was sitting at a long table surrounded by ten of his most loyal and tough men, all of them looking really large and intimidating. Their laughter died down as they saw who had entered.Jason walked in calmly, and immediately the girl ran to him. She wanted to hold his hand and tell Jason to run away, but she couldn't get to Jason in time, and she followed him closely from behind. Her hands were trembling, and her face was pale, showing how scared she was; she never expected herself to come back here again.The Junior Master’s eyes narrowed when he saw her, but then he smirked, thinking that Jason had captured her and brought her back.“Ah, you caught her!” The junior master said with a sneer. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a thi
The room was silent as what Jason said kept echoing in the air.Jason stood tall, his face hard and expressionless, and his eyes were cold as ice. He picked up the knife on a food plate.He held the knife in his hand like someone who is ready to use it without hesitating. Its knife blade was glinting in the low light. His grip was firm, and there was no hesitation in his movements.He looked straight ahead, ignoring any little sympathy he was having in his mind around; he's a beast, and he's not going to have sympathy for a human who see himself as a beast. At that moment, The Junior Master, a young man who usually carried himself with pride, now find himself in a situation that tested his every nerve. The Junior Master, though, was trying to appear confident he couldn't just give his fear away; he decided to hide the tremor in his voice as he spoke.“You’ve made a mistake, young man.” The Junior Master said, his voice shaky but laced with a forced authority. “You don’t know who
Jason's words were short and straight forward, the underground master knowing the Hades clans were involved in the situation now, the underground master knowing he must obey, he couldn't hesitate to look at Jason with fear. He knew he had no choice. Jason's words were always short and straightforward, but they carried a weight that could crush a mountain.“Cut one of his fingers.”Jason said again, his voice steady, but this time, with the look on his face, one could tell he can do anything and destroy them with just his order.The master hesitated for just a moment before making his mind up; he knew better than to argue at this moment. His hands started shaking as he held the knife tightly, and his vein started showing in his already weak hands.The junior master stared at his father with wide, terrified eyes. His lips quivered, and tears began to spill down his cheeks even more. He can't escape now; if his father can't do anything, it means he too can't do anything either. He cou
