The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)
Chapter 702

“It turns out you're aware of the things that are going on, huh? I guess you're not that foolish afterall! At least you're faster than I have anticipated!”

"Y-You—"

Jonathan couldn't even finish his sentence as he could barely catch his breath. He sprinted in thedirection of the young man and pointed the gun to his head.

“I'll take you out immediately!”

The young man wasn't intimidated at all. Instead, he challenged Jonathan with a scowl and urged,"Go ahead and give it a try!”

Ironically, the confrontation occurred on a great day perfect for a family day out.

Jonathan's eyes widened in disbelief. He pulled the trigger without a second thought but hesitatedwhen he caught a glimpse of Sebastian's face.

Out of nowhere, another familiar image showed up in his mind. In the end, he couldn't differentiateif he had been seeing things again.

“Dad, if you think I'm the one at fault, why don't you kill me? Go ahead and fire a shot to take meout!”

The man in his mind mentioned something similar and told him to take him out without anyhesitation.

As a result, Jonathan's hand started trembling against his will.

Jonathan had always been proud of Shin because he had always been exceptional ever since he wasyoung. Most importantly, Shin had inherited the great qualities of Jonathan as an army.

Therefore, Jonathan had high hopes for Shin and thought his son would be the successor of thefamily in the future.

Shin did a great job living up to his father's expectations. He was enlisted at the age of eighteen.Two years later, he was assigned to lead a platoon to go on a mission. His exceptional son washighly regarded by authorities from all around the globe. As a matter of fact, Shin was a recipient ofa few highly accorded awards and recognition.

However, a woman from Avenport had turned the life of the pride of the nation upside down backin the day.

He was head over heels in love with Frederick's sister-in-law after making his way back fromAvenport.

Shin, who had never defied his father's instructions, rebelled against him for the first time in life—hesmuggled the household register and got married with the woman in Avenport.

Truth be told, Jonathan could no longer recall the things he had in mind when he found out Shinhad rebelled against him for the first time.

He couldn't even recall the sort of decisions he made to take Shin into custody. How he was tied uplike a beast and presented in front of the man.

It was then Shin glared at Jonathan and yelled, “If you think I'm the one at fault, why don't you killme? Go ahead and give me a shot to take me out!”

Jonathan's hands trembled against his will. In the end, he just couldn't bring himself to fire the shot.Trying his best to keep his emotions to himself, Jonathan gasped out his question, “What else doyou want after taking out so many people over the past few weeks? Are you going to take out all ofthe Jadesons?”

Sebastian turned around and stared at his so-called grandfather in the eyes, asking sarcastically,"What do you think? After taking out the members of the Hayes, you don't think they get to denytheir responsibilities, do you?”

“You have freaking killed Eric and Tyler!”

"What about it? Is that enough to compensate for my loss and my parents’ demise? What aboutSasha, Shawn, Karl and the men I brought with me?” “Am I supposed to turn a blind eye when mostof my close acquaintances are dead? You don't think two of the Jadesons' lives are enough to atonefor their sins, do you?” “What makes you think it's fair? Is it because they're born superior to therest? Is it because they're members of the Jadesons? Answer me!” Sebastian finally let loose of hisemotions and yelled at Jonathan without holding back.

Glaring at the man in front of him, he enunciated his every word sarcastically, indicating he had nointention to let them off the hook just yet.

Standing in front of the injured young man, Jonathan was startled because he was at a loss forwords to defend himself.

He thought it was very shameless and selfish of him to stop Sebastian when he had lost more thanhalf of the people he cared about the most in life.

An eye for an eye had always been the mantra of most people. However, in an attempt to defendhis family member, he merely threw Charles into an isolation cell after his nephew murderedcountless innocent people.

Jonathan couldn't think of anything to prove Sebastian wrong because the thought of ensuringjustice was served to the innocent ones had never crossed his mind.

Upon another peek at Jonathan, Sebastian burst out laughing and asked, “What's wrong? Are you ata loss for words because I'm spot on again? Have you finally figured out you're just a selfish man?”"Sebastian Hayes!"

Jonathan was on the verge of going berserk again. He yelled, “I won't deny I have neglected others’aspects, but do you really think you're better than me? Apart from taking out Charles to avenge theHayes, you have escalated the issue to a national level! Are you aware of the consequences of youractions? Are you trying to drag others to hell to keep the deceased members of the Hayescompany?”

Sebastian's goal had always been stirring things up between the White House and the Jadesons. Inshort, Charles’ demise was merely a trivial aspect of his ambitious plan.

It would soon turn into a showdown between a supreme ruler and a family asserting influences overthe army of the nation

Thus, it would be tough to foresee the outcome of the showdown. Nonetheless, things would bechaotic for sure. Countless innocent people would be sacrificed as a result of the showdown.
