Back to the Past Breaking the Love Spell (Carlisle Zahn) novel Chapter 363

Chapter 363 

Alex sported wavy hair that curled at his neck, making him look like the lead actor from some early–noughties movie. He warned, “Arthur, Gavin’s with me.” 

Arthur released Gavin at once and snorted. “So that’s what happened. You took him 

in, huh?” 

The eight students who had sided with Gavin were regretting their choice even more 

now. 

Gavin said loudly, “From now on, we’ll answer to Alex! He’s Jalen Holder’s nephew!” 

The students behind Gavin couldn’t hide their surprise. They had guessed that Alex came from some formidable background, but they didn’t think his uncle was Jalen, 

one of the Heroes of Riverland. 

Alex shoved his hands into his pockets and smiled. “Those who want to hang out with me, you may do so free of charge. I’ll even throw in a welcoming pack of cigarettes and put your drinks on my tab.” 

Gavin straightened his collar and eyed Arthur menacingly. “I’m Alex’s man from now on, so you might want to watch yourself if you run into me in the future.” 

With that, he led the eight students over to Alex. 

Alex gave one of his lackeys a look, prompting the latter to quickly produce a half- dozen packs of cigarettes and distribute them to the new recruits. 

“Come on, Arthur. Join us and I’ll give you a thousand–dollar allowance every month,” 

Alex said to Arthur. 

This was not the first time he had tried to recruit Arthur. If he could have someone as 

strong and capable as Arthur in his gang, he could secure his position on campus. 

Arthur sneered, “Forget it. I’m not the type to betray someone’s trust in me.” 

What a shame that Alex couldn’t persuade someone with such admirable loyalty to 

join his gang. 

A pause later, he chuckled and said, “It’s fine. I can keep waiting. Let me know once 

apter 367 

you’ve given my offer some thought. I’m ready to welcome you into my gang 

anytime. I’ll even let you become my right–hand man!” 

With that, Alex turned on his heels and left with his lackeys. 

Arthur watched them leave as scorn and disgust flashed across his eyes. He then looked at Jamie quizzically and asked, “Why didn’t you join Gavin and his group?” 

Jamie smiled breezily. “Give me some credit, Arthur. I’m not disloyal.” 

If he were frank, Gavin’s and Alex’s offers were tempting. 

Everyone had heard about what happened to Heath. Even if Heath’s men were 

released, they would be no better than a leaderless pack with neither direction nor 

structure. 

Besides, Jalen and Titan likely had their plans for Heath’s henchmen. 

They were the Heroes of Riverland, and Benjamin might not even last until the end of 

the month if they were to come for Heath’s forces. 

The only reason Jamie chose to stay on Carlisle’s side was because of the latter’s history with Heath. 

Jamie heard that Heath had reported to Carlisle. In other words, Heath and his forces likely rose to power because they had help from Carlisle. 

Although Heath’s rise to power had been as quick as his downfall, it was still impressive how his forces had gained traction in just half a month. 

Jalen and Titan, on the other hand, had treaded the edge of a blade for over a 

decade to attain their infamous reputation. 

There was no denying that Carlisle’s sharp judgment allowed him to aid Heath’s rise 

to power, though Heath’s capabilities played an important role as well. 

Jamie thought Carlisle was a rather interesting figure, and he would like to see if 

Carlisle could help Benjamin carry on Heath’s legacy. 

Meanwhile, Carlisle had escorted Wanda to her class.

Susan had only just come out of the office when she spotted Carlisle and Wanda holding hands.
