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
Camila Joseph was holding her phone in hand, staring at Jason's number. She had sent him some money, and she wanted him to use it to buy a good suit for himself. She didn't do some background checks on him, and Summer was so kind enough to tell her a few things about him that she thought to her this would be the best decision. She really wanted him to look nice for the upcoming event. Camila had high standards, and it was understandable, given her family’s status. They were wealthy and well-known, and she wanted Jason to fit in with his handsome face and book so it wouldn't be difficult to blend in.Jason received the message and the money, and he stared at his phone for some seconds, not knowing what to say. He felt a bit overwhelmed because this would be the first time he's recovering something for someone they have not even met. Without being told, he knew Camila’s standards were high—maybe too high for him then, but he understood why. Her family is very important in the count
Jason stepped out of the car; he was looking sharp in the limited edition suit.The fabric shimmered under the light, catching everyone's attention. Camila’s family, who were already gathered outside waiting for Jason to arrive, were all shocked by his appearance. They weren't expecting him to look this smart, and the suit he was putting in looked expensive. Camila, her eyes also wide with surprise, immediately, without wasting any time, quickly approached Jason. She gently took his hands, her fingers brushing against the smooth fabric of the limited edition suit.“Jason… Where did you get this suit?” She asked, her voice soft but laced with curiosity.Jason smiled and looked bold as always; he started tilting his head slightly as he met her gaze. “You told me to look good, didn’t you? So, I did what you wanted.”Camila’s surprise didn’t fade away. Instead, it deepened as she continued to look at Jason.Without being told, she could tell the suit was not just any suit; it was some
At that moment, everything was shocked as they all gazed at Jason. His words made everyone freeze in their position. They couldn't believe what they just heard. How could the painting be fake?Roy couldn't hold it in, and he burst out laughing. “Jason or whatever you call yourself, you're out of your mind!” He shouted while still laughing. “How can you say that Camilla's grandfather bought a fake painting? Are you saying that the Joseph family, one of the wealthiest families around, is displaying a fake painting on their wall for everyone to see? That's ridiculous! You probably haven't seen many expensive paintings in your entire life, so you think this one is fake.”Camilla’s grandfather at that moment frowned. He wasn’t happy with what Jason said. His eyes narrowed as he looked at Jason, trying to understand why he would make such an outrageous claim, and the manner in which he said it speaks a lot. He looks so confident, and he doesn't look like someone who doesn't know what he
The room was filled with tension. As Jason’s words hung in the air, it kept ringing in each of their minds, making everyone pause. All eyes turned to the photo he had just revealed to be fake. Jason opened the picture that was sent to him and said calmly.“Here, take a look at it; this will show you I wasn't lying and saying the truth; I saw this same picture in the heavenly box, and it was the real one.”At that moment, everyone immediately stepped forward as they looked at the picture. It showed a group of people standing in front of a famous painting, but the most shocking part was the man standing right in the center. It was the head of the management, the same man who guided Jason and his friends around the mayor's office earlier that day. The discovery sent a wave of surprise through the room as their eyes were focused on the picture.Camila’s eyes widened as she stared at the photo closely. Her family was just as stunned as she was. “How did you get this?”Camila's voice tr
Hearing what Roy said, the room was filled with nervous tension as everyone watched Jason and his actions with bated breath. They couldn't believe he's still bold and trying to prove a useless point that doesn't exist. However, Camila’s grandfather couldn’t help but chuckle. Though there was a flicker of anger in his eyes, he was disappointed in Camilla. He thought she would have the right mindset to pick someone who is well-to-do and comes from a great family, but she then decided to introduce a loser to him, someone who doesn't have respect. He didn’t show his disappointment openly, but the tightness in his jaw was a clear sign of how angry he was.His voice was steady but laced with disbelief, and it cut through the silence. “This is what you planned to prove, Jason? This trick? This was all done at the audition house; it was done by a professional that has been doing it for years, even before you were born, and it was proven real! , but you came into the house and uttered nons
Camila's grandfather stood there, staring at the fake painting, his face pale and his hands trembling. He couldn’t believe it. The painting he had cherished and spent so much money on was a fake.At that moment, his disbelief quickly turned into anger, and his jaw clenched as he reached for his phone. “I’m calling the agency in charge of this crap!!”He snapped, his voice filled with anger. “They need to be held accountable for selling fake art work and claiming it was real.”But before he could dial the number, Jason stepped forward, gently placing a hand on the old man's arm. “Please, don’t”Jason said calmly, his eyes soft and calculative.“Let me handle this. I will make sure your money is refunded, and I will bring those responsible to justice. But if you call them now, it might get out of control, and I don’t want Camila or anyone else to think badly of me as the guy that created the mess.”Jason said all of that because he doesn't want Camilla's father to escalate the situat
