?Chapter 2218


    Jameson looked exceptionally calm. He stared at Alyssa''s sleeping face with a fiery gaze. "You can take Lyse away, but not right now."


    Remy''s gaze turned cold. "How dare you go against Sir''s orders?"


    ''As I said-not right now." Jameson covered his mouth and let out a few deep coughs.


    As he lowered his hand, he quickly curled his fingers inward to hide the blood on his palm. "Love, hate, and all these grudges-Jasper and I have been at odds for so long. Today is the day to settle our scores. This is such a critical moment. How could Lyse not be by my side?"


    Remy furrowed his brows, his expression one of bewilderment as if he were facing a mad doomsayer.


    "What in the world are you going to co?"


    *I know that Sir has always had some feelings for Lyse. It was just that he wasn''t willing to show it."


    Jameson stopped coughing. Slowly and elegantly, he buttoned up his shirt as if this were a regr morning. "But, even if Sir were to have Lyse, he''d just be like me-unable to win her heart. It would be a mere pipe dream. Her heart will always belong to Jasper. Unless..


    With a frigid gaze, Remy asked in a deep voice, "Unless what?"


    "Remy, if you are truly devoted to Sir, you need to do as I say."Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    Jameson held Alyssa''s hand. He lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand. While caressing her hand lovingly with his fingers, he said, "This will be thest time. Let this count as me repaying Sir for saving my life back then."


    The terrains on Rose Ind were not asplex or rugged as the other undeveloped inds.


    Jasper and Axel moved swiftly through the woods, their speed and agility reminiscent of cheetahs and tigers. Both were top performers from the military academy, with Jasper particrly skilled in wilderness battles. Comtent from NóvelDrama!!


    As long as Alyssa hadn''t been secretly moved, finding her would be a matter of time.


    Before venturing deep into the woods, they had contacted Jonah. Using the Third Eye, they pinpointed the ind''s location and scanned its surroundings. No ships, speedboats, or any vessels were spotted along the shore.


    Even if Jameson tried to escape by boat with Alyssa, he wouldn''t make it out of Kontina''s waters without being detected immediately.


    In other words, he could only escape using an aircraft. However, this ind was notrge, and the noise from an aircraft would betray his ns.


    ''Jasper, there''s a huge manor up front!''


    Through a pair of binocrs, Axel spotted a white building covered in vines hidden between theyers of trees in the woods.


    Jasper took the binocrs from him and looked through them. His heart pounded so hard that it felt like it was beating out of his heaving chest.


    *Could Lyse and Jameson be in there?"


    Axel''s eyes lit up with hope. Even his voice started to tremble from his nervousness. "After all, we''ve been running for so long, and we haven''t seen a decent-looking house. This has to be it!"


    With his ck tactical gloves still on, Jasper tightened his fists. His chest felt constricted as hemanded, Transmit the exact location to Jonah and the others. Let''s head out and check it ourselves!"


    Just then, Jasper and Axel froze, their eyes widening in shock. The sudden sound of cracking branches echoed through the quiet woods.


    Remy, d in a ck T-shirt, overalls, and Dr. Martens boots, emerged casually from the depths of the forest, exuding an intimidating presence.


    Despite being calm, he was ready to kill.


    Just like this, he revealed himself openly, indifferent to whether Jasper and Axel recognized him.
