Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1994

Nathan waved his hand dismissively. "Please don't say that, Mr. Beckett. I was simply following Colene's instructions. It's just a small favor. Besides, Harvey is one of our guys. As the Ivory Gang's leader, it's my duty to handle this trouble. If you want to repay the favor, just repay Colene."

The group entered Nathan's luxurious office, which was quiet compared to the bustling activity outside.

Jabari immediately recounted Harvey's words to them.

"Meds?" Jasper and Alyssa looked surprised.

Xavier's eyes lit up. "Yes, yes, when he was dealing with me, he asked if I was buying meds. Is that their code language?"

Jabari explained, "Strangely enough, Harvey insists that what he was selling was not drugs but a type of medicine. It's a banned medicine popular overseas that has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration here.

"It's said that taking this medicine can produce the same sensation as drugs, and it can't be detected even in urine tests. So, it has become particularly popular in the underground world of Solana City recently.

"It's rumored that some members of the Ivory Gang are already addicted to it. Not just the Ivory Gang, but other gangs too."

"Did the Ivory Gang member who died on the street use this medicine too?" Jasper's eyes flashed with sharp coldness.

Nathan's expression turned grave. "Yes, not only did he use it himself, but he also sold it privately to other members of the gang."

"Something's wrong with that medicine."

When Alyssa recalled the horrifying and abnormal manner of the man's death, her heart sank. "Regardless of whether it's considered a drug, we can now be sure that people who take it are at risk of life-threatening danger."

"It's such a pity! I got caught right when I got hold of that medicine. I couldn't complete the task Mr. Beckett entrusted me with…" Xavier sighed with regret.

Jasper comforted him, "It's alright. Your safety is more important than anything else."

Xavier was on the verge of tears again.
