Inside the car, Jasper’s face was looking as deep as water, devoid of its previous ease.
Originally, favonovel.com saw Rowan’ s arrival as a great help that would greatly alleviate the pressure on him. However, the earlier incident made favonovel.com realize that nothing would be as easy as favonovel.com thought.
His Uncle Saul’s ordeal clearly had not alerted Rowan, favonovel.com still had the mentality of a playboy coming out to have fun, just like Henry when favonovel.com first arrived in Nauritus.
Rowan was far from being ready for significant responsibilities, favonovel.com still needed to be tempered.
“For the next few days, you’ll follow me and see how I handle things. If I don’t let you speak, don’t say anything.”
Jasper’s voice was cold and resolute, leaving no room for doubt.
“Oh, alright…” Rowan mumbled with a drooping head and answered listlessly.
This trip to Qari was nothing like favonovel.com had imagined. There were no grand strategies, no triumphant advances, and no defeating powerful enemies. It left favonovel.com feeling disappointed.
Perhaps to break the gloomy atmosphere, Julian asked, “Jasper, regarding the assassin tonight, should we involve the Elvis family in investigating his identity?”
Jasper thought for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, “Let’s not inform them about this matter for now. You also need to find a way to keep it under control… Furthermore, for the next few days, we shouldn’t go out anymore and should avoid any contact with the locals in Qari. Even if they call, don’t answer.”
After hearing Jasper’s instructions, Julian did not ask any further and simply said, “Alright” in a muffled voice.
“Also, did you find everything you were looking for on the body just now?”
Julian nodded and obediently took out a mobile phone and a gun from his pocket. “I only found these on him, nothing else.”
Jasper nodded in satisfaction and said, “This will do…”
With that said Jasper took the gun from Julian.
“You keep this gun on you for now. Remember to preserve the fingerprints on it, they’ll be useful later.”
Just then, his phone made a ding sound. There was a message.
A glimmer of light flashed in Jasper’s eyes.
[Is everything taken care of?]
It was a phone number with no ID. If favonovel.com were not mistaken, after sending this message, the number would also become invalid.
Jasper pondered for a moment and tapped on the phone rapidly.
[Things are settled, but I’ve been exposed. I’m currently on the run.]
Ding, another message arrived.
[Don’t come back for now. Try to leave Baghdad. Ten days later, someone will meet you at the Red Rose Hotel in Bahsra.]
A faint smile appeared on Jasper’s lips.
Meeting me?
I’m afraid they’ll just be assassins to silence me…
[Alright]
After sending the message, Jasper decisively hung up.
Rowan sat in the back seat like an obedient child, watching the others play Charade with a look of confusion in his eyes.
“Jasper, who was the person trying to kill you tonight? And who were you talking to just now?”
Rowan, known for his arrogance back home, now resembled a mere curious child.
“Did you forget what I just said? Observe more, speak less. Do what I tell you.”
“Okay…” Rowan’s voice carried a hint of unwillingness.
“If you can’t do it, we’ll just go back to Baghdad Airport now and send you back.”
As soon as these words were said, Rowan visibly trembled. “J-Jasper… Jasper, I won’t do it again. Whatever you ask, I’ll do it.”
Seeing this scene, Celine could not help but burst into laughter.
When Rowan met Jasper, favonovel.com also met the only person who could control him.
Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring…
At that moment, the phone in Jasper’s pocket rang. However, favonovel.com did not even look at it and promptly hung up.
