“I’ve heard it until I’m tired of hearing it. Let’s see how he performs now that the opportunity has come.”
“Axel! Are you heartless?”
Alyssa’s eyes turned red from anger, and she clenched her fists, tightly. “This time, he’s going into a lion’s den alone, and he doesn’t even have a decent weapon. He’s also bringing along Landon, who’s a liability. Someone might die! If something happens to him, I … I…
“Who are you going to marry, right?”
Axel put his hands in his pockets and leaned close to her face. His eyes were tinged with slyness and affection.
Alyssa blushed with embarrassment, about to playfully hit him, but suddenly, a thought crossed her mind.
The Taylor family had some influential people, even more powerful than Jonah.
They could help Jeremy.
The next day, Jeremy and Landon went secretly to Shelland Island, armed with weapons.
It wasn’t the smoothest trip. The day started out sunny and calm, but a thunderstorm struck after two hours on the boat.
The two had opted for a yacht instead of a larger vessel in order to keep a low profile. Not only would they be a smaller and speedier target, but they could also swiftly retreat the scene if needed.
But the downside to this kind of ship was how vulnerable it left them to the extreme weather!
“Mr. Jeremy, Mr. Harper, what do we do? Is the boat going to capsize? Landon’s men were doing their best to keep the yacht afloat. But it was tough to do so when the vessel wouldn’t stop being tossed and turned by the harsh waves, not to mention sail onward in a straight line!
All of a sudden, a large wave crashed toward the ship, aiming right for Landon.
Landon stood there shocked, unable to move. All of a sudden, someone went up to shield him.
Jeremy used his body to protect Landon from the wave before it crashed!
Jeremy didn’t so much as stumble as the wave hit him, unlike most others. He merely swayed slightly under the force.
Jeremy was so powerful that he could even make a man fawn over him.
“Are you alright, Jeremy?” Landon asked, quickly holding onto Jeremy.
“Yes, I’m fine,” Jeremy said with a smile.
As their eyes met, Landon found himself blushing. “Dammit. Can you not look at me like that? I feel like I might actually fall in love with you at this rate!”
“Thank goodness Lauren’s the one you fell in love with, or else you might actually feel that way for me one day,” Jeremy said. sarcastically. He then hurried over to the helm of the ship to steer it.
“Fuck me. You didn’t have to play along that hard!” Landon scowled. He wiped away the seawater on his face and watched Jeremy steer the ship.
After some time, Landon sighed to himself, feeling respect and admiration toward his friend.
Landon had foolishly taken more than he could chew when he tried pursuing Alyssa. He’d even moped around after being rejected by her.
Now, it seemed like Alyssa had made the right decision.
After all, how could someone who had gotten used to the love of a fierce warrior ever turn to another?
Landon wasn’t disappointed, nor did he feel regret. In contrast, he had to thank this one-sided love for introducing him to Lauren, the love of his life.
The ocean tossed the yacht around angrily, but it seemed invigorated once Jeremy began to steer. It soon continued sailing on to Shelland Island.
Two hours later, the thunderstorm finally stopped. The night sky peered out from behind the clouds.
“The darkness will help us. Come on, Jeremy!” Landon exclaimed excitedly, strapping two guns on his back.
Landon used to be renowned as a Grim Reaper, given his love for the dangerous things in life. It looked like that nickname wasn’t given without good reason. Landon seemed to have forgotten about the danger they were in earlier before arriving there.
“Do you think this is a paintball game? You only have one life. If your lose it, there’s no restarting,” Jeremy said.
Jeremy was dressed in a black shirt, cargo pants, and boots as he held onto a firearm. One could sense how powerful he was based on his outfit alone. There was even a hint of wildness.
“You’re not as unattached as you used to be. You have my sister to consider now,” Jeremy reminded him.
Landon’s heart clenched upon recalling his lovely wife.
He was right. He had a family now. His once-tough demeanor had softened up ever since he fell in love.
Lauren had nearly had a breakdown after hearing about Nina’s death. Landon couldn’t imagine how Lauren would react if something. happened to him.
“Mr. Jeremy, Mr. Harper, there’s a chopper flying toward us!”
Jeremy and Landon looked up, and sure enough, a helicopter was flying right toward them!
Everyone immediately went on high alert. They took out their weapons and aimed right at the helicopter.
“At ease. I doubt they’re the enemy, Jeremy said calmly. He was the only one who remained unworried.
“How are you so sure?” Landon asked in surprise.
“If they were the enemy, they could’ve started firing at us from this distance already. The only reason they haven’t is because they don’t plan on killing us.”
Landon nodded eagerly. “Makes sense!”
The helicopter landed on the beach, its blades sweeping up sand that blinded everyone’s eyes. Only Jeremy remained steady, welcoming the billowing wind as he watched a man step off the helicopter.
When Jeremy saw who it was, his eyes widened.
“Holy shit! It’s Jonah!” Landon yelped and hid behind Jeremy.
Jonah approached them, emanating a commanding presence.
Despite having connections in legal and underworld circles, Landon should theoretically not be afraid of anyone. However, at this moment, he was intimidated by Jonah.
Jeremy, who had already surpassed him in terms of marital relations, now wielded an overwhelming presence!
Jeremy and Jonah met one another’s gazes-subtle hostility boiled between the two.
“What brings you here, Mr. Taylor? Jeremy asked coldly.
“I’m sure you know why. We have the same goal, don’t we?” Jonah didn’t have a good impression of his ex-brother-in-law even thought Jeremy had already decided to devote his love to Alyssa.
There was something in the Taylor family bloodline that made it so that they never wanted to reveal their truest feelings on the surface. In other words, they held a certain pride.
After all, Jeremy had cruelly abandoned Alyssa and made her suffer for three long years. She nearly became crippled on the battlefield because of Jeremy, too.
No matter what, Jonah’s feelings toward Jeremy wouldn’t change so easily. Alyssa was as bright as a star in the sky. Jeremy would have to give up his all to have her again.
“I will handle Jeffrey Snyder. You don’t have to worry, Mr. Taylor,” Jeremy said persistently.
“I’m Lyse’s big brother, and this issue remains something personal to our family. I can take care of this without you.” Jonah wasn’t relenting either.
“Let’s go, Landon,” Jeremy said, ready to move on without a second. thought.
“If I remember correctly, you told my sister you were going overseas to Yoarkley.” Jonah’s voice rang out coldly.
Jeremy turned around, seeing the sneer on Jonah’s face. “If Lyse finds out that you were lying to her even though it was for her sake, don’t you think she’ll get furious at you? You know how she is.”
“Don’t tell her!” Jeremy ran over to Jonah, pleading, “All I do, I do for Lyse, Mr. Taylor. I was just afraid she might come here with me if she knew I was coming after Jeffrey. I can’t let the woman I love be put at
“But what right do I have to… protect her, as her man, if I can’t even take care of this issue for her myself?”
The sincerity in Jeremy’s declaration made Jonah’s eyebrows furrowed.
Even Landon felt the urge to give his friend a boost.
“I know you must hate me for hurting Lyse, Mr. Taylor, for being so cruel to her and abandoning her…” Jeremy lamented.
Jeremy’s eyes grew red-rimmed, his voice hoarse, as he begged Jonah. “All I’m doing now is so that I can make it up to Lyse. I’d give up my life just to help her achieve what she wants, no matter whether you all forgive me or not. Just please don’t put Lyse at risk. As her brother, you know just how she can be!”
Jeremy was really worried that Alyssa would be angry at him all over again. They had gotten to such a neutral state after months of tribulation. Jeremy didn’t want things to return to square one.
