Chapter 103: Captain Cassian

Chapter 103: Captain Cassian

Jazmine Harrison’s movements were swift. She rose, her dark green eyes flashed with focus and determination. The guns in her hands were light and weightless. The way she handled them, it was as if she was made for them. As if she had years of practice. And it was true too. In her last life, dangers lurked around every corner. It was a depressing truth—but it was still the truth. The experience of her past life had taught her some valuable skills.

The shots fired one after another. Her fingers moved rapidly on the trigger. The recoil of the gun didn’t even cause her to stagger.

Rolf was too stunned to act."Wait... Let me handle this—"

When Rolf had just stood up, he froze.

Jazmine had fired only four times, and the shocking thing was—not a single one of her bullets missed. There were four men. One bullet hit each, and now each one of them was collapsed and writhing in pain."H-How..." Rolf craned his neck to look at Jazmine, and he was reminded of a certain someone from his time back in the army."C-Captain Cassian?" He could swear that he saw Captain Cassian in the woman for a second. The aura around her was the same as his.

Then Rolf shook his head."No... It can’t be." He must have been delusional. Captain Cassian had no blood relation with Jazmine. He had been her father-in-law in her past life. Still... maybe he had trained her? The possibility made Rolf look at her with a different light in his eyes.

Jazmine turned and faced him."Duck down." Her face was expressionless. Her eyes were cold.

"W-What—" Rolf was still too distracted. His eyes widened when he saw her raise her gun. With no time to argue, he quickly lowered his head.

The next second, a bullet was fired.

"Are you crazy—" he began, but stopped midsentence when he heard a loud thud behind him. He turned abruptly and saw a man, mere inches from him, collapsing. A gun fell from the man’s hands, his body quickly covered in blood.

Just a few more seconds, and the man would have reached Rolf—and it would’ve been the end for him. The people who had planned this abduction might have had orders not to hurt Jazmine... but for him? They wouldn’t hesitate.

"You’re too careless. You wouldn’t have survived without me protecting you," Jazmine said, shaking her head.

Rolf’s face twitched. He? The great marksman? Being protected by a woman? But when he looked at the men writhing in pain, he shuddered. This woman was not to be underestimated. He’d made a mistake. Gods forgive him. She wasn’t bluffing when she said she wanted to train him.

After all, President Crowne wouldn’t set his eyes on just any normal woman. The way Rolf looked at Jazmine changed drastically. The way she fought. It was—it was truly... Cool.

"President, are you alright?" a frantic Lucian Smith rushed in. "I heard gunfire—what could it be—" He almost shrieked and passed out when he saw the bloodbath.

"Nothing much. Just some scoundrels sent by people who wanted to trouble me." Jazmine shrugged.

The shock Lucian received from her words was greater than what he’d gotten from the carnage itself. You’re surrounded by unconscious gunmen and you say ’nothing much’? His President was not normal. His weak heart almost couldn’t take it.

"President... do you need me to find out—"

"Don’t trouble yourself with these matters. You don’t need to find out because I know exactly who sent them. Just get rid of the bodies before anyone finds out. Don’t want to create trouble in a foreign place, do we?" Luckily, the place Lucian had chosen was mostly abandoned and sparsely populated. No one had noticed the commotion—yet.

"Y-Yes, President." The situation was still too bizarre, but he quickly composed himself. Aye... it’s so hard to keep up with such a scary President.

"What about the ’certain job’ the President talked about?" Rolf’s tone had changed. Noticeably. He even sounded... excited. He wanted more of that cool action from her.

"Huh...? I already did it. I wanted to send a message to Dorian Blackwood. This will definitely convey all my intentions—without words." Jazmine’s lips curled up into a cold smile."If he messes with me, this is how he’ll end up."

So cool! Rolf’s eyes twinkled with admiration.

"Dorian Blackwood...?" Lucian stilled when he heard the name. "President, are you sure you’ll be alright?" The Blackwood family wasn’t small. And with the past protection of President Crowne, they were once considered invincible. Lucian feared the President might be in danger if she made an enemy of Dorian.

"Lucian, are you aware of how President Crowne dealt with the recent trouble Dorian caused in the company?" Jazmine’s voice was calm, but firm. "You don’t need to worry about Crowne backing the Blackwoods."

"Yes, President. President Crowne didn’t give them leeway like before. In fact, he was ruthless. He didn’t even care about the fall in stock prices when he struck back over their misconduct. He even prosecuted them for past transgressions. Wait... does this have anything to do with you, President?" Lucian was stunned. Even if Crowne had struck once, it didn’t mean the long-standing relationship with the Blackwoods was over. But if President Jazmine was the reason...

Jazmine didn’t reply. She only smiled—and climbed into the car.

Lucian stood frozen as the vehicle sped away."President Jazmine and President Crowne..." Lucian was no fool. He had observed how personally President Crowne had involved himself since the beginning.

"Could it be these two..." Even the thought thrilled him. A power like President Crowne... if Jazmine had him at her side...

Suddenly, Lucian felt like he’d made the best decision of his life by deciding to follow his President.
