Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2160

"What are you saying, Jasper?" Axel's lips curled into his usual, careless smile. His nonchalance was as if the world's end held no consequence for him.

"Who said I'm going for a final battle? I'm just returning to work. I've been absent for days. The organization might fire me if I don't go back. Then I'll lose my pension."

"Stop pretending. I've overheard your conversation with Dad." Alyssa pouted, pinching her earlobe. "Don't forget my awesome eavesdropping skills!"

Axel was left speechless. Alyssa truly had a knack for eavesdropping on everything.

"I'm determined to get Amber back, no matter what." Axel took a deep breath. A dull pain spread throughout his heart. "Jameson's bold enough to reveal his location and even invited me to Kontina. This just shows that it will be one hell of a fierce battle. Honestly, I'm terrified."

"Axel…" Jonah's eyes welled up as he stepped forward, placing his hands firmly on Axel's shoulders.

Axel!" Jasper and Alyssa struggled to hold back their emotions too.

"I'm not afraid of dying. I'm just afraid of not coming back alive to all of you," Axel's casual smile weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

"That's rubbish, Axel!" Jonah wrapped his arms around Axel. "I will be with you. I will protect you and make sure that nothing happens to you!"

"Don't be silly, Jonah. Julien would cry his eyes out if anything were to happen to you," Axel teased.

With tears in his eyes, Jonah replied in a choked voice, "We'll all come back alive. We'll be reunited with the ones we love and live out our lives together…"

Alyssa couldn't bear the scene. As a sensitive person, her tears started to fall.

"Let me go with you, Axel," Jasper said, his arm around Alyssa's waist, his tense jaw emphasizing his sharp features. "We're academy alumni. I may have left the military for business, but a soldier's blood still runs in me. Who better to be on the front line if not me?"

"That's right. We're alumni," Axel said, touched. His eyes twinkled. "I didn't expect us to fight alongside each other like this."

"Jasper..." Alyssa looked deeply at him with flushed cheeks. Intense pride surged through her, but worry consumed her. Still, she didn't want to add to Jasper's burden. Besides, if she kept him from going, he'd regret not taking Jameson down.

With tears held back, she forced a calm expression. "Silas and Cyrus have been working on this case. On top of that, Nicholas is a state witness. Additionally, Jameson's hideout in Solana City is compromised, Schmidt Group's shares have plummeted, and those responsible have either been arrested or dismissed from their roles.

"He's at his wits' end in Kontina. Cyrus managed to get a Red Notice issued, so the police are already searching for him.
