Semua Bab LUCAN VALE: THE GHOST ASSASSIN: Bab 51 - Bab 60

Back downstairs, Seraphina helped Marvin to his feet. Blood dripped from his mouth as he was finally able to stand up, and one of his front teeth was gone, thanks to Jason’s punch.Marvin clutched his mouth in pain, groaning as wiped off the blood with a napkin, and then he shot Jason a glare that was equal parts fury and fear.Actually, he would go at Jason right now, that was how much angry he was. But the problem was that Jason was not just equal, doing that would only warrant a death sentence forr Marvin. At least this time he used his brain and didn't do anything reckless.“Do you want more?” Jason asked casually, like he was offering a refill instead of a beatdown. Truthfully, he could’ve done far worse. He had to hold back just to stop himself from tearing Marvin apart.But if Marvin really wanted that? Jason wouldn’t mind.A cold shiver ran down Marvin’s spine. He felt the gap where his tooth used to be, then looked down and saw it lying on the floor, a bloody reminder of wh

The fact that the operations director straight out addressed Jason by his first name unsettled her, it was like he was known here.But wasn't he just a loser? So how could he be known at this place?Meanwhile, Vanessa was also intrigued by this. She was beginning to wonder now for real, if maybe Jason had more to him that he appeared.Jason took a step forward, expression unreadable. “That would be me.” He informed the hotel director.Ross checked the tablet, tapped a few times, then straightened his posture even further. He bowed towards Jason and said, “My apologies, Mr. Wolfe. We didn’t realize you were in attendance tonight,” he said, his tone now formal, almost deferential. “Miss Von Halen herself put you on as one of the special guests. Your presence is a privilege. If there’s anything you need, we’ll make it happen immediately.”Cassira’s jaw slackened. “Wait… what?”“Mr Ross, there has to be a mistake, do you even know who this man is?” Seraphina questioned. ‘I’m not wrong abo

The high-polished marble hallway echoed with the rhythmic tap of two sets of boot heels. Elara, known in the underworld as Elayne Duskmoor, led the way with her usual practiced elegance. Two of her personal guards flanked Jason. To Vanessa and her family, Jason was nothing more than a nobody, an insignificant waste of space, with no pedigree. But the underworld knew him differently.He was known to most in the underworld as Lucan Vale, the Ghost among shadows and the Eclipse Syndicate’s deadliest weapon.Tonight, however, he was just Jason Wolfe, here to confront the infamous strategist and spy of the Crimson Court, Elara Von Halen. The Crimson court was a rival organisation to the eclipse syndicate, both operating deep in the underworld.The office door opened, and Elara walked straight to her desk. Instead of sitting behind it, she hopped onto the edge, crossing one leg over the other. She looked relaxed, but her eyes shows a lot of emotion to Jason. He knew her well.Jason coul

Blaine's hand was as quick as a viper as he went for Jason's throat with his fist, while a hidden blade flickered from his sleeve, aimed for the heart. Jason moved, not with panic, but with a fearless and fluid elegance that seemed to anticipate every move. He effortlessly moved from Blaine’s grasp, the blade missing his chest by… not even closeA heavy thud echoed in the quiet corridor as Jason's elbow connected sharply with Blaine's jaw. The assassin staggered, momentarily disoriented, but recovered just in time. His eyes now blazed with a professional, dangerous focus. This wasn't going to be easy, he could tell.“Fuck! You're skilled! It looks like I've underestimated you.” Blaine remarked, a cold grin spreading across his lips.“But you still have to die!” He declared, and then he launched a series of calculated strikes, a flurry of fists and kicks designed to incapacitate. But Jason was holding back. He parried, blocked, and dodged, his movements effortless and precise. He d

It was no secret at this point that Bryce was very much interested in Vanessa, and it had annoyed him to see that she was engaged to someone. However, now that he understood what was going on, he didn't hesitate to call Jason out for taking the girl of his dreams. Yet again, the lively crowd was drawn to Bryce's loud voice. And hearing what he just said about Vanessa Smith's engagement to Jason, some could not restrain themselves from commenting.“He has her trapped in a contract? What kind of loser does that?” a woman in a sleek green dress whispered behind her glass of wine, her voice laced with incredulity and amusement.“The kind that knows he can’t keep a woman like Vanessa Smith,” another replied with a dry chuckle. “He’s insecure. Has to legally bind her just so she doesn’t leave. Pathetic.”A man with slicked-back hair added. “Bryce was right to get in his face. If that was my friend being strong-armed into an arranged engagement like that? Please. I’d have done much worse th
