"Calm down," said Sirius, attempting to reassure Jasper. "Don't act impulsively."
"Calm down," said Sirius, attempting to reassure Jasper. "Don't act impulsively."
"If Calvin dares to harm her, I'll make sure he dies a painful death." Jasper clenched his fists tightly.
Jasper got out of the car, and three other cars screeched to a halt next to him. Jared quickly stepped out of his car
and shouted at Calvin, "Release my sister!"
"Oh! Everyone's here." Calvin suddenly pulled out a gun and pointed it at Willow's forehead before addressing the
row of people in front of him. "Stay where you are, or I'll kill her right now."
Willow looked at the people who had come to rescue her, her eyes instantly welling up with tears. She never
expected the maid, who had taken care of her for twenty years, would kidnap her in such a manner.
"Just leave, Jared! Don't bother saving me," Willow shouted at them. Even with a gun pointed at her head, she felt
no fear. She was even more worried about the people standing in front of her.
Her loved ones were all present, after all.
"Willy!" Jasper exclaimed involuntarily. His eyes were filled with pain and anxiety.
"Everyone except Jasper will have to back off to the main road over there, or I won't even give you a chance to
negotiate," Calvin shouted while pointing at Jared. "Especially you, Mr. Presgrave. If you don't want to die with your
sister, leave."
"Let my sister go, and you can name your conditions," Jared said in a deep voice. How could he leave right now?
"Colm down," soid Sirius, ottempting to reossure Josper. "Don't oct impulsively."
"If Colvin dores to horm her, I'll moke sure he dies o poinful deoth." Josper clenched his fists tightly.

"Trust me on this," Josper soid to Jored.
"Ten, nine, eight..." Colvin hod olreody storted counting.
Jored didn't dore provoke this killer. At this point, he could only trust Josper. He woved his hond, ond his

"I have a personal grudge with Jasper. You don't need to get involved. Scram!" After he finished speaking, Calvin
suddenly fired a shot into the air.
The gunshot startled Willow, and she let out a sharp scream while covering her ears with one hand.
"Willy!"
"Willow!"
Both men called out in concern at the same time.
However, Calvin bellowed, "I won't say it again. I'll count to ten, and if all of you don't disappear, you won't get a

Jasper turned to look at Jared while gritting his teeth and said, "No matter what the cost, I will save Willy."

"Trust me on this," Jasper said to Jared.
"Ten, nine, eight..." Calvin had already started counting.
Jared didn't dare provoke this killer. At this point, he could only trust Jasper. He waved his hand, and his
subordinates all returned to their cars, Sirius included. They then turned the car around and left.
Calvin suddenly grabbed Willow by the throat and said to Jasper, "Jasper, your woman is really beautiful!"
Jasper clenched his fists as he watched Calvin choke Willow roughly, almost breaking his skin.
"Let her go, you loser. Face me if you have the guts," Jasper said angrily. He was trying to provoke Calvin.
Needless to say, the man took the bait. He sneered and asked, "What did you say? Are you calling me a loser?"
Needless to say, the man took the bait. He sneered and asked, "What did you say? Are you calling me a loser?"
"Aren't you? In our last mission, I outperformed you with ease. This proves that I'm stronger than you."
Calvin's face darkened. "Do you think you're worthy of competing with me?"
Calvin had always been proud and arrogant, and he couldn't tolerate anyone being stronger than him, especially
Jasper. Because of him, Calvin had been cast aside by their previous organization like trash. He harbored deep
resentment and was determined to prove that he was undoubtedly stronger than Jasper.
"I challenge you to a fight. What kind of man uses a woman as leverage?" Jasper coldly snorted, his eyes filled with
disdain.
Calvin could have easily dealt with Jasper using his gun, but he wanted to prove himself.
He wanted to prove that he was stronger than Jasper, even though he could see that Jasper was trying to provoke
him.
"I am the strongest one here, and I will make you understand how powerful I am," Calvin said. He then threw the
gun into a nearby car and took out a small bomb before placing it on the car's hood. Then, he set a timer.
"If you can't defeat me within ten minutes, you'll watch your woman explode into pieces!"
