When Axel heard the news, he immediately returned to the city where his organization was based.

Without even reporting back to work, he booked the earliest red-eye flight to Cyrris. His eyes were bloodshot from lack of sleep, and when he emerged from the arrival gates, an ominous air surrounded him. A black luxury car awaited him at the exit.

Standing in front of the car were Jasper and Xavier, who had been waiting anxiously for his arrival.

Axel's gaze locked onto Jasper's fiery eyes. His presence radiated fury, unrestraint, and a barely contained viciousness.

A strong gust of wind swept through the terminal. Snow danced in the air, tangling both Jasper's and Axel's hair into disarray. "Let's talk in the car, Axel," Jasper said in a low, measured voice.

Red-eyed, Axel insisted, "I need to find my wife right now." "That's exactly why I'm here. Get in the car, and we'll talk." Jasper turned on his heel. His tone grew colder. "But let's be honest- you won't find her no matter how urgently you act, will you?" Grinding his teeth to suppress the storm of rage inside him, Axel finally climbed into the car with Jasper.

The atmosphere in the car was heavy and gloomy.

Jasper wasn't directly connected to Amber, but she had once fought alongside them. Her disappearance weighed heavily on him, especially after seeing Alyssa cry her heart out over it.

"Lyse and I went to the scene where Amber vanished," Jasper began. "We found blood trails." Axel didn't let him finish. A guttural growl escaped his lips as he slammed his fists against the car window repeatedly. His entire body trembled with barely contained anguish, and the veins on his forehead bulged as sweat dripped down his face.

"Axel, calm down!" Jasper barked, gripping Axel's swollen fists tightly, forcing him to stop.

"Did you find out who took her?" Axel's voice was raw, his fury barely contained as his blood roared in his veins.

Jasper fell silent for a moment. Although brief, it felt like an eternity.

"Amber uncovered critical evidence at The Millennium," he finally said. "She found a report on the human drug experiments that shook Solana City previously.

"After leaving The Millenium, she headed to the mountain behind it. That's where she was ambushed. It's also where Alyssa and I found her cell phone.

"Given Amber's past work with Jameson and her indirect connections to Justin and Sheryl, Alyssa and I strongly suspect Justin is behind her abduction." Despite the car's heating system blasting at full power, the air inside felt frigid, as if they were on the brink of disaster.

"I want to kill them both," Axel growled, his bloodshot eyes slowly meeting Jasper's. "Would you mind?" "Not at all," Jasper replied evenly. "But I will stop you from doing it." "Fuck!" Axel shoved Jasper's hands away. "Jasper, are you wasting my time? Do you think I'm joking? My wife is missing! If it were Lyse who disappeared, would you be this cold, this indifferent?" Content belongs to en.kikistoriesJasper remained stoic, his expression unreadable.

Axel sneered bitterly. "Oh, how stupid of me. I forgot. Lyse doesn't mean anything to you anymore, does she? She doesn't make your heart race like she once did." A pained smile tugged at Axel's lips, his eyes brimming with anguish. "You don't love her anymore. You can't even understand what love is now. So how could you possibly understand how I feel?" Content belongs to en.kikistoriesJasper swallowed hard, his voice rough when he finally spoke. "I'm stopping you, not because Justin is my brother or because I'm dismissing your pain.

"If you go through with this, you'll have blood on your hands. You'll beca fugitive, hunted for murder remember you once toldyou wanted a peaceful life. You said Amber dreamed of living in the light." Content belongs to en.kikistoriesAmber wanted to live in the light.

UMS Axel's bloodshot eyes flickered with a glimmer of realization. He closed them, wrestling with the emotions warring inside him.

"You can ignore everything else, Axel," Jasper said, his voice firm yet tinged with an unfamiliar emotion. "But you cannot ignore the love of your life." "What if Amber-"
