Chapter 1313
Meanwhile, on the other side of the room.
Julian, Jerrick, Serena, and that incredibly annoying stray dog of a man were seated around the dining table.
The table was laden with an exquisite breakfast prepared by top-tier chefs.
The atmosphere was warm and decidedly relaxing.
Except for the corner.
Jasper’s stomach growled loudly. He felt like he was shattering into pieces, his
deeply resentful gaze fixed longingly on the dining table.
Why was he the only one injured?
The only one beaten?
And to top it off, they wouldn’t even let him eat.
It was too cruel.
Watching the others eat at a leisurely pace in perfect harmony while he crouched in the corner with a growling stomach made him feel utterly pathetic.
So hungry.
He had skipped dinner the night before to stake out the hotel.
Now, after getting beat up, he was starving.
Once Serena finished her meal, she took a napkin and elegantly dabbed her lips.
She stood up, picked up a steaming bowl of seafood soup, and walked straight toward Jasper in the corner.
Jasper’s ears perked up, and he raised his head.
Seeing Serena walking toward him with food, his captivating eyes instantly lit up. He looked profoundly moved, his voice thick with emotion. “Sniff… Serena is the best p>
He sniffled, on the verge of tears. “Only my sister knows how to take care of me. I’m starving to death p>
With that, he eagerly reached out with both hands to take the bowl.
Just as his fingertips brushed the porcelain edge.
Serena subtly shifted her wrist, pulling the soup out of reach.
She stood in front of him, her cool gaze sweeping over his bruised and battered face.
A slight smirk tugged at her red lips, a smile that was breathtaking but laced with a dangerous cunning.
“Jasper p>
Serena’s voice was crisp, the last syllable slightly drawn out. “Do you want to… make up for your mistake p>
Hearing her call his name with that tone turned his bones to jelly.
Forget making up for his mistakes.
If she told him to lay down his life right now, he would do it willingly.
Jasper nodded vigorously, staring at her with eager eyes. “Yes, absolutely p>
He patted his chest to show his loyalty. “As long as you’re not mad at me anymore, I’ll do anything. I’d walk through fire and water for you without a second thought
Serena raised an eyebrow in satisfaction, a glint of calculating sharpness flashing in her clear eyes. “Since you’re the top bounty hunter On The Obsidian Dark Web, you should have the highest clearance level, right p>
Jasper paused, instinctively straightening his posture. “Of course! Aside from the founders, my clearance is absolute top-tier S-Class p>
Serena smirked. “Since you accepted this thirty-billion bounty, use your highest clearance to trace the IP address of the person who posted it p>
Jasper’s eyes immediately lit up.
“Oh, right! Exactly p>
He slapped his thigh, realization dawning. “I can reverse-engineer their IP! Once I have it, I can track down exactly who ordered the hit p>
Thinking about the fact that someone actually dared to put a bounty on his precious sister’s head.
His expression instantly darkened. Gritting his teeth, he swore angrily, “What kind of garbage dares to put a hit on my sister p>
He kept cursing, his eyes filled with pure malice. “They almost made me kill my own family. I’m going to dig up their ancestors and wipe them all out p>
Serena shoved the bowl of seafood soup directly into his hands. “Eat up, then get to work p>
“Just get me the real IP address. You don’t need to worry about anything else p>
She would personally reel in the net for the rest of it.
Jasper cradled the piping hot bowl of soup.
Feeling the warmth spread through his palms.
His eyes stung, nearly bringing him to tears from sheer gratitude.
Having a sister really was the best.
Because of her, even after taking a beating, he had someone looking out for him.
This soup was amazing!
