Coolest Girl in Town (Elise and Alexander)
Chapter 829

Chapter 829 Only One of You Can Leave

The mob initiated a fight as they felt they had the upper hand with the number of people they hadbrought. The man in the mask stood still while Joseph fought them. Within minutes, he haddefeated the whole mob.

The leader of the mob knelt and hit his head on the ground a few times as a sign of admittingdefeat before running away with his subordinates.

It was a clear victory for the SK Group. Finally, they had gotten the authority for the port'sjurisdiction. It was the first time Jayden saw someone so good at fighting and could not help buttake more pictures of Joseph.

Right then, it seemed like the masked man felt the environment was safe enough, so he slowlyremoved his mask.

Jayden kept zooming in on him, and when the mysterious person removed the mask, he finally sawwho it was and looked at Narissa with wide eyes.

The leader of the SK Group was Danny!

Narissa was also as surprised as Jayden. These few years, she didn't have a close relationship withJamie, so she could not get much information about SK Group. However, she didn’t expect Danny totake over the management on behalf of Elise now.

Jayden very quickly composed himself and pointed the camera at Danny again.

These two brothers from the Griffith Family were exceptional. One was the owner of Smith Co., whilethe other led the SK Group. He was curious about what other surprising identities the remaining twobrothers had.

His fingers clicked on the shutter non-stop, and he did not want to let go as he was afraid ofmissing any detail.

As he was busy capturing the scene, Joseph, who stood on the side, got a phone call and quietlywalked out of the camera's range.

After Jayden had taken pictures for five whole minutes, he was content and started packing away hisgear. Then, he turned his head and wanted to tell Narissa about his achievement today, but instead,he saw a tall looming figure behind them.

He didn't need to double-check by lifting his head to see the person's face, and he knew it wasJoseph based on the shirt the man was wearing. He knew they were no match for him.

On the other hand, Narissa met Joseph's eyes, and they recognized each other but were discreetabout showing it in front of Jayden.

Joseph politely made a welcoming gesture. “Mr. Griffith would like to meet you both. Please comewith me.”

It wasn't the first time they had met a situation like this. So, they calmly stood up and followed himto meet Danny.

Tension filled the air as their eyes met, and both parties were displeased with each other.

After seven years, Danny has grown out of his naivety. Now, he was mature and poise. He evenbulked up so much that even his suit could not hide the lines of his muscle.

Danny walked toward Narissa first and looked at her meaningfully before stopping in front ofJayden, “Mr. Quinn, it seems like you're displeased with the SK Group?”

"Everyone has a right to be displeased with anything in this world.” Jayden was unafraid and held hishead up high.

Danny's lips curved slightly as he sneered, “If you are, you should have avoided us. You're like a flythat comes and goes. It's very annoying.”

"Someone's got to do the things that people hate for the society and its people.” Jayden wasadamant.

"Oh? I didn’t know you were so righteous. Can you tell me what crime the SK Group committed?”He bored into Jayden's eyes with a neutral face, but his eyes were enough to pressure him.

“Isn't lynching a heinous act itself?” Jayden argued. “The SK Group will do anything as long asthere's money. It doesn't even matter if it breaks the law!”

"So, what's the problem? Whatever the law can't solve, the SK Group will do it for them. We'vesolved so many conflicts, but why do you want to rat on us? Huh?” Danny questioned in a low voice.“It's just a matter of differences in personal values. I've got nothing else to say. Do what you willwith me,” Jayden scoffed as if he was prepared to die.

That didn't anger Danny as he looked toward Narissa on the side intentionally. “I see. It's definitelyworth it to die being accompanied by a beautiful woman. I would feel the same too.”

Only then did a hint of panic flash across his face. “You're a man, Danny. You shouldn't lay yourhands on a woman. She's got nothing to do with this. Let her go.”

“I should let her go because you said 50? Do I look that benevolent to you?” Danny took a step backwith a half-smile and said playfully, “I know. There can only be one of you who leaves, but you'llhave to decide that among yourselves!”

“No need for that. I'll stay!” Jayden stood in front of Narrisa, blocking his eyes on her. “She didn'twant to do this job. I was the one who pulled her in. Let her go and kill me. Then, no one wouldknow what happened today.”

At that moment, Narissa’s heart pounded as she gazed at him with admiration, like he was her hero.She had once told Elise she hoped that the person she loved would be a hero.

A person who fought with his life for the people and would protect her in the face of danger wasindeed a hero.

It had been seven years before she realized this.

Danny smacked his lips as he felt the fun drained out of the situation. He went up and snatched thecamera in Jayden’s hands and slammed it into the ground before crushing it with his feet until it wasall shattered beyond repair.

Then, he picked up the memory card before throwing it into the sea.

Jayden could feel his heart twist in pain at the sight. “What are you doing, Danny?”

He rolled his eyes as he warned impatiently, “Consider yourself lucky. I'll let you off the hook today.But if one word of what happened here gets out, you won't live to see the next day's sun. I knowyou're not afraid of death, but what about your family? Now, scram. You only have one minute toget out of my eyes. Otherwise, I can’t promise I won't change my mind.”

Jayden didn't even think and grabbed Narissa’s hand before sprinting away. As the two silhouettesdisappeared under the night sky, a shadow slowly got down from the boat parked on the side untilit reached under a light to reveal Jamie's face.

"Always sacrificing yourself to help others. How many times have you done this? Are you going tokeep wiping their ass every time?” Danny mocked him. “I didn't know you were such a kind person.”"What else can I do? We've promised Boss to take care of Narissa on his behalf. It's ourresponsibility.” Jamie answered with conviction.

“Responsibility? Ha.” Danny did not point out what he was trying to hide. Instead, he just smiled andpatted him on the shoulder before leaving with Joseph.

The salty sea breeze whizzed through the port in the pitch black night, and the cold air blew intoJamie's clothes, making them flutter along with the draft. He ducked his head and silently gazed inthe direction Narissa left with eyes filled with longing.

Jayden and Narissa kept on running until they got in the car.

After he took a few deep breaths, he suddenly grabbed her hand.

“Narissa.” He breathed heavily. “Would you be my girlfriend?”

Her hand holding the water bottle froze mid-air.

“I finally realized how much I love you at that moment just now" Jayden's voice was sincere. “Whatabout you? You have feelings for me, right?”

“I don't know.” Narissa was flustered. “It's exhilarating and fulfilling when I'm with you, but I alwaysfeel like something's missing.”

He tightened his grip on her hand. “Give me one chance. Let me do something about that missingpiece, please?”

Not many girls could resist such a passionate confession during a life and death situation.

So, it was only natural for her to cave in and accept his confession, “Yes!”
