Can’t Win Me Back

"What are you saying, Jasper?" Axel's lips curled into his usual, careless smile.

His nonchalance was as if the world's end held no consequence for him.

"who said I'm going for a final battle? I'm just returning to work.

I've been absent for days.

The organization might fire me if I don't go back.

Then I'll lose my pension." "Stop pretending.

I've overheard your conversation with Dad." Alyssa pouted, pinching her earlobe.

"Don't forget my awesome eavesdropping skills!" 1 Axel was left speechless.

Alyssa truly had a knack for eavesdropping on everything.

"T'm determined to get Amber back, no matter what." Axel took a deep breath.

A dull pain spread throughout his heart.

"Jameson's bold enough to reveal his location and even invited me to Kontina.

This just shows that it will be one hell of a fierce battle.

Honestly, I'm terrified." "Axel..." Jonah's eyes welled up as he stepped forward, placing his hands firmly on Axel's shoulders.

Axel!" Jasper and Alyssa struggled to hold back their emotions too.

"I'm not afraid of dying.

I'm just afraid of not coming back alive to all of you," Axel's casual smile weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.

"That's rubbish, Axel!" Jonah wrapped his arms around Axel.

"I will be with you.

I will protect you and make sure that nothing happens to you!" "Don't be silly, Jonah.
