Chapter 142
Jasper woke up in Seth’s condominium after getting stoned and was startled to see Seth. “Seth, why are you here?” Seth glanced at him and poured him a glass of warm water, pursing his lips calmly. “This is my condominium.”
“What?”
Jasper accepted the water and walked around the room.
“This little condominium is pretty neat.
He then stood by the window and looked out.
“Hold up, isn’t this Elstunda? Since when did you live here?
Tve been here for some time now.”
“Why didn’t you tell me about it?” Jasper glared at him.
Seth met his gaze.
“You came to Elstunda, but you didn’t tell me, either.”
Jasper scratched his head in embarrassment.
“I didn’t mean to. I initially thought I’d be leaving in a day or two. I didn’t think I’d have to remain here for more than a month, Jasper muttered.
Jasper muttered a few words, then suddenly reacted, “How did you pick me up if I never told you that I was in Elstunda?” Seth glanced at him like he was an idiot.
“Do you think you’d ever be able to hide your whereabouts from me?”
That’s true.”
Jasper pursed his lips. “I’m sure you’ve learned all of Somnus‘ hacking skills by now after spending so much time with her. My firewall, which she set up, must be a piece of cake for you.”
“No.” Seth shook his head. “No one can bypass the firewall she set for you.”
“In that case, how did you figure out my whereabouts?”
Seth pinned him with a condescending look once more.
“You posted about it on Instagram….
Jasper smacked his head upon the revelation.
“Oh, right! My post from two days ago about the restaurant I ate at was obviously in Elstunda. I was too careless. Why didn’t you contact me if you already knew I was here two days ago?”
Seth took a sip of water and answered softly, I had important matters to deal with
“I sec.
A thought seemed to occur to Jasper as his entire being suddenly became deflated and he slouched on the couch

despondently.
“I met Somnus, but she refused to admit her identity.”
Seth looked at Jasper and said slowly, “It doesn’t matter whether she admits it as lon
as we know she’s the one, right?”

“How come?” Jasper appeared puzzled.
Seth lowered his eyes. His ocean eyes were filled with a nebulous emotion, and an air of sorrow hung over him like a shroud.
“Everything will be fine as long as she’s alive.”
Jasper focused his eyes on Seth.
After a moment, he abruptly broke into a smile.
“You’re right. As long as we believe that she’s alive, all’s good. After all, it’s far better than her actually being dead….
Jasper chuckled to himself again before murmuring. “Even if she’s an impostor…”
Time flew by and it was soon September.
During that time, Alec asked Xavion to notify Samantha about the final verdict regarding Darius and others, which was lifetime imprisonment.
Alec had mercy on them for the sake of the Johansson family, especially Darius.
Nevertheless, sparing their lives was the limit.
The trio would never ever have freedom and were destined to be miserable for the rest of their lives.
On the other hand, the training for Samantha’s Rogue Squad was in full swing,
Everyone improved by leaps and bounds.
However, Xyla and Xavion’s relationship remained tense since they came back from the island,
They hardly bumped into one other and even deliberately avoided each other.
It wasn’t until a day before Samantha began her new term at Elstunda University and a celebration was held for her that the pair had no choice but to meet,
Xeno booked an entire pub for the occasion.
All the members of Rogue Squad were present.
Xeno and Simon, who usually preferred being bystanders, continually persuaded everyone to drink more, including Xyla
Xeno looked at Xyla teasingly. “Hey, Xyla, what’s wrong with you recently? Why drink juice when all of us are here are getting wasted? Where did the queen of drinking. Ms. Xavier, disappear to? Don’t tell me you’ve decided to turn over a new leaf?”
Xyla glanced at him, a little irritated.
And what if I have? Do you have a problem with that?”
“No way! The wine bottle in Xeno’s hand shattered on the table with a loud bang.
“How could you not drink in honor of Queen Samantha during her party? That would be a huge offense!”

Samantha intentionally remained silent.
Xyla glared at Xeno. “I’m not feeling well.”
“Why is it that you don’t feel well every time it’s your turn to drink? Doesn’t that only apply for a select few days each month? It seems to me that you’re unwell for the entire month.
You
“I don’t care. We’ll talk once you’ve downed three bottles. Xeno was insistent.
Xyla’s face was as red as a tomato.
“I’ll drink on her behalf, Xavion interjected out of the blue.
“Well, well” Neno had an indecipherable look on his face when he stared a Xavion. “Since when did Mr. Johansson become so chivalrous? I remember how forcefully you used to encourage drinking back then. I can’t believe you’re now drinking on another’s behalf. How incredible
Xavion’s eyes flickered slightly. “It’s understandable since Xyla claims to be unwell.”
“Do you happen to know why?” Xeno eyed Xavion tauntingly.
Xavion was stunned and turned to look at Xyla
“Are you feeling pain anywhere? Should I send you to the hospital?”
“I… Xyla barely had time to decline before being cut off by Xeno,
“What hospital? Don’t we have a doctor right here? Come now, Ms. Xavier. Let me have a look at you.”
Xyla subconsciously withdrew her hand. “There’s no need. I’m fine.
“Excuse me, Ms. Xavier. What’s going on? You claim to be unwell when I ask you to drink, yet you refuse to undergo a check- up, saying you’re all right. Could you be hiding something from us?”
Xyla’s heart dropped at Xeno’s words.
Martin joked, “Come on, Xeno. You still have much to learn. Girls always have secrets they prefer to keep to themselves. It’s nothing unusual.
“It seems like you have a secret yourself. Xeno elbowed Martin’s chest amusedly.
Martin shrank back subconsciously and instinctively eyed Zephyr, who was sitting opposite of him
There was something off about him that he couldn’t seem to pinpoint.
Xavion suddenly got to his feet a second later.
“Xyla, let’s go. Il bring you to the hospital for a check–up”
There’s no need. I’m not going to the hospital. Xyla’s butt seemed glued to the bench and she wouldn’t budge.
“Come out for a bit, then. I have something to tell you.” Xavion still stood to her side, gazing down at her. Xyla remained motion/
“I have nothing to say to you.

The atmosphere instantly turned heavy.
Everyone seemed to sense a hint of tension in the air.
“What’s going on here? Sit down and have a drink!” Simon hurriedly pulled Xavion toward himself.
He then opened three bottles of beer and placed them in front of Xavion.
“Now, Mr. Johansson, here are the three bottles of beer you agreed to drink on behalf of Ms. Xavier. Please begin your performance.
Several casual bystanders began cheering Xavion on and even whistled.
Alas, Xavion’s expression was thunderous.
“Since she’s fine and doesn’t want to go to the hospital, let her drink it herself!”
