Jasper happily cradled the bowl, finishing every last drop of the seafood soup without leaving a single trace behind.
His sister had personally brought this to him!
Receiving this 'special treatment' from Serena had Jasper practically floating. Even the grievances from his earlier beating and bruised face completely vanished.
He set the empty bowl down on the table, a fiercely confident, almost arrogant smirk spreading across his exquisitely handsome face.
"Serena, just watch."
He rolled up his sleeves, pulled out a high-backed leather chair, and sat down at the computer with unapologetic swagger.
His stunning face practically radiated the aura of 'watch me work my magic'.
His long, elegant fingers cracked over the keyboard, producing sharp, crisp snaps.
"Don't worry, someone dared to hang a thirty-billion-dollar hit on you? I'll dig up their family's graveyard for this!"
He was, after all, the number one bounty hunter on The Obsidian Dark Web.
He held the highest tracking clearance in the entire underground network.
This kind of task was a walk in the park.
As his fingers danced across the keyboard, he couldn't resist showing off to his sister. "Let me tell you, I might not be good at a lot of things, but I've never met my match on the Dark Web! You have no idea, but not only am I the top bounty hunter, my hacking skills are absolutely unmatched!"
"The last time you said that, Serena kicked you into a dumpster," Jerrick stated blankly, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.
Jasper's temple twitched, and his fingers stalled. "Jerrick, can you drop it already?! That was three years ago!"
Julian, sitting on the sofa, gracefully pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses. With a polite smile, he added with absolute precision, "Three years and two months."
"...Julian!"
"I'm simply stating facts," Julian replied without blinking.
Serena lounged lazily on the sofa, merely lifting the corners of her eyes and smiling softly as she watched him work.
Nicholas leaned casually beside her, his mesmerizing eyes slightly narrowed. With an aristocratic, relaxed posture, he advised, "Focus, Jasper. You really shouldn't get distracted during a reverse trace."
Jasper took a deep breath. "I am the top bounty hunter, C. I don't need you to teach me!"
