Alyssa’s heart clenched. With a purse of her lips, she said, “I doubt it. I’ve investigated Inigo’s


    background. He used to be a mercenary and had experience personally guarding members of the royal


    family. He made it to where he is today with an iron fist. I don’t think he’s that easily killed.


    “Plus, he wouldn’t havee all the way to Sna City alone. It won’t be that easy to take him out


    even if Jameson wanted to, right?”


    Jasper’s words still made Alyssa worry.


    Jasper seemed to have picked up on this.


    He slowly intertwined their hands and consoled her, “Our enemy is powerful. It’s okay if we don’t catch


    them all at once.


    “There is still time. At the very least, we now know who to watch out for, which is a far better situation


    than before.


    “What’s important now is to take care of Sophia ASAP and both Nina … and my mother.

    Jasper’s voice shook slightly upon mentioning his mother. His grew red with unshed tears.


    He did his best to control his emotions in front of Alyssa. He wanted to be a calm, steady sentinel to


    her, making her feel safe and at ease. whenever.


    Alyssa’s heart ached as if it was filled with sharp gravel. She gently hugged Jasper.


    He immediately hugged her back as if he had been waiting for it.


    “You don’t have to say anything. I know. I know you care for me.”


    Cyrus and three of his team members for this case had been. interrogating Jeffrey for ten hours in the


    police station.


    All of them were incredibly experienced when it came to questioning suspects, yet none of their


    expertise seemed to work in front of


    Jeffrey. He was an evil, strong-willed bastard.


    No amount of threat or bait could make Jeffrey reveal who the mastermind behind his acts was.


    As things reached a stalemate, Jasper and Alyssa arrived at the station.


    “I’m so sorry, Lyse,” Cyrus said sadly, scratching at his head. “It’s my fault for not being able to crack


    him even until now. If he’s trying to stall for time, there’s no way we could convict Sophia even if the


    court finds him guilty. Our one lead on her would be lost by then!”


    How could they get revenge for Jasper at that point in time?


    Cyrus continued, “There’s a more serious question right now. Jeffrey is a Tsulian. Our country’sws do


    not allow foreign convicts to be sentenced to death here. At most, a murderer would get 20 years


    behind bars. Jeffrey would definitely be extradited to Tsulu in 20 years for their court to deal with him!”


    Cyrus ground his teeth together, grunting out, “I feel like strangling something the moment I think about


    the fact that that cruel lowlife won’t be getting the death penalty, Lyse!”


    “Don’t say that, Cyrus. You’re already doing your best. It’s Jeffrey that’s too cunning and heartless.”


    Alyssa took a deep breath and asked, “Can you inform your higher-ups that Jasper and I want to have


    a chat with Jeffrey?”


    “You two?” Cyrus was shocked.


    “Yes. Let us have a chat with Jeffrey. Who knows? We might be able to contribute to the case.”
