Frightened out of his wits, Xavier yelped, covering his head and crouching low in his seat.
It wasn't that he was a coward. He had been brave in the past, but this situation was unlike anything an ordinary person would face.
Working for Jasper meant Xavier didn't have to worry about his livelihood, but every day was a gamble with danger. If this continued, he might have to keep Nitroglycerin on hand just to survive.
Jasper, with his strong, muscular frame, shielded Sebastian beneath him.
He knew the attackers were after Sebastian, the witness, aiming to eliminate anyone who could tip the scales against them. If they could take down Jasper too, or at least injure him severely, it would be a bonus.
These people were ruthless.
Sebastian, oblivious to the danger, was muttering the Lord's Prayer under his breath. He didn't know that the man protecting him was sometimes more powerful than any deity.
"Don't lift your heads! Arrows aren't like bullets—they can pierce glass but not the car's body," Jasper said, his voice steady despite the sweat on his brow.
The sounds of clattering filled the air, a barrage of arrows raining down like a violent storm. It reminded Jasper of his time fighting terrorists in the warzone at Luminara. His eyes narrowed, and his blood surged.
After five or six minutes, the barrage stopped, but their tires were punctured. There was no way to keep driving forward. Thus, the only thing Jasper could do was to charge at their attackers with his bare hands.
"Xavier, protect our witness."
With that, he threw open the car door and charged out without hesitation.
In the blink of an eye, over a dozen assassins surrounded him like a pack of wolves closing in on a lion. Some wielded blades, others carried sticks.
Jasper remained calm, his body tense, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles cracked.
It became clear—Sebastian was merely a secondary target. The real aim was Jasper's life.

It’s dwindled down to 1 page a day??...
7 chapters a day would be great...
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
