Chapter 1007
“Jeffrey, surrender yourself.” Jasper kept it short and simple. The look on his face was glacial.
At that moment, the flow of blood from his injured left shoulder echoed in his ears. His breaths were shallow, and he had little
energy left to spare on Jeffrey.
The few assassins burst out in laughter.
“Sure, Mr. Beckett. I’m here, right in front of you. Come and arrest me,” Jeffrey taunted as he cocked his head to the side.
His expression gradually became more sinister. “But, do you still have the energy left to do so? Shouldn’t you remove the bullet
on your left shoulder?” he questioned.
Jasper clenched his teeth, maintaining the same look on his face.
“If you delay it any longer, you might lose your left arm. Don’t say that I didn’t warn you.”
Before Jeffrey could continue, Jasper raised his hand and pointed the
black nozzle at him.
The assassins reacted swiftly by lifting their guns and aiming at
Jasper!
Both parties were ready to fire at any moment.
The atmosphere around them was fierce and chilling. Although
Jasper was going solo, he was calm and collected.
The sheer level of intimidation emanating from him left the assassins reluctant to lower their guard.
Jeffrey’s brows twitched in astonishment. Contrary to his

He chuckled. “I guess I was the one who worried too much. What’s an injury to an arm when you are ready to throw your life
away?”
“I will fire the moment I take my last breath.”
Jasper had gone numb from the pain, but his hand holding the gun was as steady as ever.
He continued, “I believe my shooting skills will allow me to blow your head off with this shot. If you have any doubts, would you
like to try?”
Jeffrey clenched his teeth firmly, a ferocious expression taking hold
of his face.
During his tenure working for Sophia in the Beckett family, he had conducted personal investigations on Jasper.
Jasper wasn’t someone who was only all talk. He had graduated from the military academy with flying colors. He had even
received multiple awards when he was with the Peacekeeping Forces.
Furthermore, the fact that he could hold up to this point proved that he was a sharpshooter. Essentially, he was able to fire with
infallible.
accuracy!
“Hey, Mr. Beckett, are you sure that an eye for an eye will be worth it for you in this case? Your life is priceless, whereas mine is
pretty
much worthless.
“To add on to that, how devastated would Ms. Alyssa be if you were to die? You’re giving your all to protect her, but wouldn’t she
be made a widow at such a young age?”
At the thought of Alyssa, Jasper’s heart ached to the point where he
almost couldn’t breathe.
He loved Alyssa. He wished he could be with her in this life and the next. He felt that he hadn’t even loved her enough. So, how
could he bear to die right here?
However, seeking revenge on her behalf was a separate matter altogether for him. He needed Jeffrey to pay with his life!
Then, one of Jeffrey’s men beside him spoke to him in their local language. “The boss ordered us to take him out once we
capture him!”
“That’s right. We clearly outnumber him with our men and weapons. It will be a piece of cake to get rid of him. It doesn’t matter
how accurate his shot is. Would he be faster than us? I don’t believe so!”
Damn it! His target wasn’t the rest of them. So, of course, it was easy for them to say so!
Jeffrey’s gaze was vicious. He challenged them, saying, “The few of you, would you like to get rich and have an early
retirement?”
The men nodded eagerly.
“If so, tonight, we will capture him alive. He is the son of the richest man in Solana City. We can take him as hostage and
demand a few billion dollars from him. I’m sure his father would gladly pay to get his
son back!”
A few billion?
Everyone’s eyes lit up, revealing their greed.
Even though Jasper couldn’t understand their conversation, he could tell one thing based on their facial expressions-Jeffrey
might have changed his mind about killing him for the time being.
