Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2533

Step by step, Jonah walked into the darkness, his footsteps steady and determined.

The front doors slammed shut behind him with a resounding groan, as if a deep abyss had opened and swallowed him whole.

At the same time, Jasper and Remy stood side by side in the chilling wind atop a tall abandoned building across from the factory, their grim gazes fixed on the structure.

"That guy is slick. He picked a factory that's completely sealed off. No one outside can see what's going on inside."

Jasper tightened his grip on the magazine of his sniper rifle. "There's no way I can have an accurate shot if I can't see his exact position."

Remy knitted his brows tightly. "What about thermal imaging? We could use it to track the movement of people inside the building."

Jasper shook his head slightly. "It's useless. Even if we can see them, they're too far away, and there are too many obstacles in the way. I won't be able to take him down with a single shot, no matter how good a shooter I am.

"Instead, it would only alert the enemy. If he gets desperate, Jonah's and Dr. Lovelace's lives could be at risk."

Remy's chest felt heavy, and his injured left shoulder throbbed faintly. Still, he ignored the pain. Steadying his breathing, he asked, "So… what should we do now?"

Jasper's eyes darkened. "We'll sneak in."

"We'll sneak in."

Another voice echoed the same words from behind them.

Jasper and Remy turned around, surprise flashing in their eyes. "Mr. Axel?" they exclaimed.

Axel stepped out of the darkness and walked toward them with effortless grace. Though his striking features looked slightly haggard, he still carried himself with his usual elegance and composure.

"A pathetic bastard like him doesn't deserve a clean bullet to the head. That's too merciful. We should barge in and blow him up."

With warmth in his eyes, Axel walked up to Remy and looked intently at the face he hadn't forgotten, even after all these years. Holding back his tears, he pulled Remy into a tight hug.

"It's Axel."

A wave of emotion swept through Remy's heart. Awkwardly, he said, "Axel."

Perhaps finally having a home and someone to love had changed him. Axel, who had once been wild and untamable, had grown softer inside. In the end, he couldn't stop a tear from slipping down his cheek.

"Let's finish this as soon as possible. The longer we drag it out, the more dangerous it becomes for Jonah and Dr. Lovelace."

Jasper was already prepared. With a stern expression, he added, "The sooner we finish this, the sooner Mr. Axel can go home and be with Ms. Altman."

Axel raised a brow and clicked his tongue. "Excuse you. Mr. Axel? Just call me Axel!"
