Chapter 118: Fearless

Jason watched Anya masking her fear and being strong. He didn't know what to do with her. Tightening his hold on her arm, he twirled her to face him, "It's alright to fear." After all, they didn't sign up for a life-and-death job. "Let the military take care. You should rest for now." 

He couldn't believe she was facing a life and death game again and again. First when Harper's men attacked her house, thankfully they didn't do anything to her. Then the car was trampled, she was uninjured due to a high-end car with complete safety features. Before she could even take a breath, she was kidnapped, inducing sleeping drugs to her body. 

The only good thing that happened during this time was that Alvin took care of her. Anyway, her bad luck is right behind her back. She jumped into the ocean for her first love and is now almost shot in the head. He truly commended her for not breaking into tears but clenching her teeth to get over it.

Major Reth, who sent the injured military man to the ambulance, stood by them, "What exactly happened here?" He demanded a response. After all, his subordinate was injured.

Jason glanced at Anya. He was actually leaving the harbor. When he got into the car, he fetched his personal mobile which was in silent mode. That's when he saw many messages and missed calls. Most of them were about the Owen family brought to the Oasis mansion in the morning. He was so busy from dawn with arranging everything he hadn't checked his mobile.

He returned to inform her and ask her what her opinion was. Now looking at her hiding her fear, he didn't know how to reveal it to her. She would undoubtedly panic at the news.

He even thought of using cops against Linus as the latter kidnapped them but according to the reports, her parents voluntarily followed Linus Collins. Hence Jason needed her opinion before doing anything.

Jason reported only the latter part to Major Reth, "I noticed the laser on her head." Hence he jumped out of the car and ran towards her. "With the angle and direction," He turned to the container site, "Either they are in a container or that building." The tall building outside the harbor.

Her identity was a secret and many prominent persons were walking around, yet the shooter waited for her. "Officer Owen is their target!" Major Reth deduced in shock, looking at the slender lady between tall and sturdy men. 

Anya refused to fall weak and feel the fear that was creeping in her bones. Hence she kept her mind busy with everything but the fear that hit her very hard. 

She analyzed who might target her. 'Harper Johnson!?'

But Harper has no idea about her identity. If he somehow got to know that she is an officer who is trapping him down, then somebody in cyber security must have told him. If Harper doesn't know her identity, he should try to kidnap her instead of killing her. 

So why is Harper trying to kill her? 

Considering Harper knows her identity, if he was trying to kill her, that doesn't mean he could escape the law because another officer will take over. So he has to erase the proof of his heinous activities to come out clean.

Her eyes sharply glinted, "Harper Johnson will target Manager Payne and Vice-Captain Berwick. We should disguise the Vice-captain while escorting him out. As for manager Payne, we should try to make sure he could be alive." She notified Major Reth.

She pulled her mobile out to call the commanding officer of the police agency. She opened the new contact she saved and dialed it as she returned to the building she came from. The eight-armed men continued to provide her protection.

"Commission Brown, Officer Owen here. I will send you two addresses, please find that family and escort them to a safe location. If they aren't around, arrange a search team immediately."

Major Reth pointed at her back and looked at Jason, "She is so young… Yet…" She was so composed and collected in the face of death. He almost thought to ask her if she would like to join the military. If she joins, she would be following others' orders. Whereas now, her position was far higher. So he dropped his idea.

Jason sighed internally. Like men who don't show their fear, some women hide it too. Some show their fear to all and some stay strong until they find the person they feel safe to show their fear. 

All these years Jason had seen her hide her fear, pain, dissatisfaction, gloominess, struggles, labels on her character, and whatnot. She had endured everything alone. So his reaction to her behavior was normal. 

He turned to Major Reth and put up a request, "Major Reth, Officer Owen won't delay your operation." He indirectly asked Major Reth not to stop her due to her gender. "Please try to avoid her exposure outside the building without safety measures." He couldn't stop her, so he could only come up with an increase in protection for her.

Major Reth accepted without a second thought as she was the prominent person in the whole mission who is keeping her life at stake with his soldiers, "Absolutely."

Jason didn't follow her. He decided to let her cool down a little and reach the capital. He will personally take action if she asks him to file charges against Linus or Alvin. 

Getting into his car, he suddenly recalled, 'Alvin Matthews must have met his son by now.'

At the Oasis mansion,

Alvin's chauffeur drove the car into the estate in absolute silence. He didn't dare to even breathe loudly or sigh knowing that Alvin was in a terrible mood. He felt suffocated in the car filled with cold, murderous air. The driver silently prayed for the long life of the one who might be facing his master in the mansion. 

Alvin alighted the car and stormed towards the entrance of his mansion. He stretched his long leg and stepped inside when he heard a cute, beaming voice floating to his ears.

"Mommy, Mommy, Mommy…"

Suddenly a little meatball appeared from the half-opened door and bumped into Alvin's leg. Due to his awful mood, Alvin's brows were tightly knitted, ready to hurl some cold words at the intrusion.

The handsome little man's excitement dropped and he faintly groaned after the bump. He stumbled back on his short legs but balanced himself effortlessly. He lifted his head to see the culprit who didn't only block him, had no courtesy to apologize or ask if he was fine. The brows knitted on the little man's handsome face and narrowed his eyes at the tall man who pained his neck. 

Alvin's whole world froze the second he noticed the fearless eyes.
