With just three minutes left on the countdown timer next to Willow, she looked at Jasper, mentally preparing for
the inevitable. Her sole wish was to imprint his image in her memory before dying. She hoped that in her next
life, she could spot him in a crowd, for if they couldn't be together in this lifetime, she was determined to reunite
with him in the next.
While Calvin had Jasper pinned down, it appeared Calvin had the upper hand. However, Jasper spotted an
opportunity when Calvin let his guard down and quickly took action. With a quick move, Jasper elbowed the
ground and wrapped his long legs around Calvin's neck. He sat firmly on Calvin, reaching for the key hanging
around his neck, and yanked it.
Calvin was instantly strangled by the chain, which turned into a deadly weapon, cutting off his breath and
turning his face purple. He desperately swung his fists, trying to dislodge Jasper from his shoulders. However,
Jasper’s legs continued to tighten around Calvin's neck, dragging him closer to the edge of death. Calvin's face

Suddenly, blood spurted from Calvin's neck as the chain severed his windpipe. With a fierce expression, he fell to
his knees. Only then did Jasper step away and remove the chain hanging from Calvin's neck. At this critical
moment, there were just 15 seconds left on the countdown timer next to Willow.
Willow had been engrossed in Jasper’s counterattack, forgetting momentarily that she stood next to the Grim
Reaper. However, when Jasper rushed to unlock her handcuffs, she realized the danger she was still in.
Just then, she saw Calvin, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly rise again. Despite his broken neck, he was
brimming with murderous intent as he charged toward Jasper.
“Jasper, watch out!” she shouted. Jasper quickly pushed Willow several feet away, concerned that Calvin might
target her. Yet Calvin's aim was not her; he was going after Jasper. Summoning his last ounce of strength, Calvin
pushed Jasper toward the cliff. At the stime, Jasper also realized Calvin's intentions.
“Joinin death!” Calvin spat out a mouthful of blood as his eyes burned with hatred. Jasper quickly turned,
shoving the bomb into Calvin's grasp, intent on escaping. However, Calvin, in a deft move, latched onto Jasper,
tripping him up with a well-placed ankle lock. Then, Calvin dragged Jasper down the cliff.
“Jasper!” Willow cried out and rushed over. Just then, Jared arrived and hugged his sister tightly. “Willow, you
can’t go.”
“Jasper!” Sirius shouted as they had all seen the bomb in Calvin's hand earlier. “I'm sorry,” Jasper whispered, his
final words. before plunging off the cliff.
“Jasper! You can’t die.” Willow struggled to get to him, but Jared, aware of the bomb, held her back firmly. Boom!

As Willow heard the explosion, her mind went blank, and a dark consciousness enveloped her. In despair, she
collapsed on the ground.
“Willow!” Jared shouted and picked up his sister. He looked at her pale, tear-stained face, his heart heavy and
chest tight with pain. He turned to Sirius and said, “You handle things here. I'll take my sister back.”
“Go ahead, Young Master Presgrave. Leave this to me,” Sirius replied, his heart heavy, knowing Jasper’s chances
of survival were slim. Afterward, Jared carried his sister away quickly.. They got into the car and instructed their
bodyguard to drive to the city hospital.
Standing at the bottom of the cliff, Sirius removed his coat and jumped into the sea. At the stime, the
bodyguard, Ricky, shouted, “Get in the water and start the rescue!”
