Alyssa lowered her gaze and kept her silence. Noting her dampening mood, Jasper held and caressed


    her hand. "Lyse, I know you feel sorry for Lauren, but Landon loves her. With his abilities and family


    background, he is more than capable of protecting her."


    "Yes, I know that. In fact, I am grateful to him." Alyssa''s gratitude had nothing to do with Landon''s


    eptance of Lauren. She was thankful to God that Landon was able to see the good in Lauren and


    patiently stayed by her side.


    Shortly after, Landon returned to the living room, appearing more fatigued than ever. Jasper released a


    deep sigh. "Landon, that must''ve been tough for you."


    "She''s my partner. I''ll do anything for her." Landon did not me Angelina for the oversight and


    resumed the conversation, "Where were we? Oh, right! I thought it over—Inigo Montiye is a wanted


    man who has no power in Sna City. How could he possibly bribe the locals into helping him out?


    "Could this be part of Jameson''s n? Is he secretly protecting Inigo Montiye?"


    The same idea had urred to Alyssa and Jasper as well. After all, Inigo had once answered to Jeffrey


    Synder in the Shend Ind ambush against Jasper and Jonah.


    To Jameson, Inigo must be an important witness who could wreak havoc. Jameson would never allow


    Inigo to fall into Alyssa and Jasper''s hands—that would be shooting himself in the foot.


    "Since Inigo Montiye showed up, we now know he''s still alive and within Sna City. If he''s still in the


    city, there''s no way he can escape. It''s a matter of time before we get him."


    Jasper''s eyes were as deep as an abyss. He dered, filled with resentment, "Lives are more


    important than anything. I do not wish to see any innocent lives taken by bastards like Jameson


    Schmidt and Inigo Montiye—it''s not worth it at all."


    Landon shared the same bitter feelings. Jasper might appear distant on the surface, but Landon knew


    he was more hot-blooded than anyone else.


    "Um... I have a question," Xavier suddenly interrupted while raising his hand.


    "What it?" Landon, Alyssa, and Jasper responded in unison.


    "I can''t figure out why Jameson Schmidt would expend all the effort on protecting Inigo Montiye. He''s


    not even in Kontina; he''s on his turf. Wouldn''t it be easier to silence Inigo Montiye by killing him?"


    "Inigo Montiye isn''t alone in this. Coming from a military background, he has a mercenary working for


    him, and each could easily take on ten men.


    "Besides, the Harper and Beckett Group have been searching the area for Inigo Montiye and his men.


    The customs, train lines, and ports are under tight surveince. If Jameson Schmidt gets into a conflict


    with Inigo Montiye and his men, the news will reach us. They would be exposing themselves."


    Angelina, who was more calctive, added, "Inigo Montiye and his men are hardcore. Jameson


    Schmidt would only invite trouble if he confronted them."


    Xavier insisted, "But Jameson Schmidt is cunning. He can surely think of a way to get rid of Inigo


    Montiye quietly. That guy''s just a ticking time bomb to him."

    Xavier''s casual remark struck Alyssa. She connected all the dots and eximed, "Damn it! Jameson


    will make a move against Inigo Montiye!"
