Chapter 388: Chapter 388

Chapter 388 Jonas’s heart felt like it was being pulled in different directions, tangled up in a mess he couldn’t quite untangle. He never intended to say much, but the words slipped out anyway...

His lips barely moved as he explained, almost out of habit, “This thing was mine originally. Then it ended up with Jackson. It’s been over a decade...”

Jonas’s voice was calm, almost indifferent. But for Oneida, those words struck like a lightning bolt, leaving her reeling. She clenched the brooch in her hand, her throat tightening to the point where she couldn’t even speak.

She understood. So that’s how it was. This brooch had belonged to Jackson for over a decade. It means the boy who saved her at the Saint Yales Resort wasn’t Jonas but Jackson.

It was Jackson... It was him!

For Oneida, everything seemed lik side this whole time.

a cruel joke. The person she had been desperately searching for had been right by her In her past life, she had even ended up getting him killed because she mistook him for someone else! He had liked her so much.

In this life, she managed to avoid the mistakes of her past, but still, she got it wrong. She almost mistook Jonas for the boy in her memories. If only she had known earlier...

All those twists of fate made Oneida and Jackson miss out on an entire lifetime together. This time around, they hadn’t missed each other, but she only just now realized that the boy at the Saint Yales Resort that year was indeed Jackson.

Oneida bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes. She hated crying, she hated tears. They were a sign of weakness. But now, the tears “swirled in her eyes, refusing to be pushed back.

For the first time, Oneida felt the sting of being toyed with by fate.

Her Jackson She did care so much for Jackson... But now, he was poisoned with the deadly Water Death, his fate hanging by a thread...

Thinking of this, Oneida’s tears finally spilled over, streaming down her cheeks.

She pressed her lips together tightly, allowing the tears to fall, her features rigid and devoid of expression Jonas saw Oneida in this state, and a deep frown creased his brow. For once, he looked uncertain and lost.

The man opened his mouth as if to say something but seemed at a loss for words.

Jonas had no experience comforting people. He let out a low sigh, then spoke, his tone hard, “If you need to cry, do it elsewhere. Don’t do it in front of me.”

Otherwise, it would just make him more irritable.

Hearing his words, the unfocused look in Oneida’s eyes sharpened. She lifted her gaze, her eyes red, “I’m not leaving. You haven’t given me what I came for!”

At this moment, Oneida’s eyes blazed with a wild determination.

There was a silent resolve about her, a madness that appeared heedless of consequences.

“Water Death, hand it over!” Oneida took a step forward, suddenly reaching out to grasp Jonas’s throat.

1/3 Chapter 388 Jonas, reliant on a cane and already struggling with mobility, was caught entirely off guard by Oneida’s sudden attack.

He stumbled back, nearly collapsing to the ground. Luckily, Ales who had been standing by, stepped in just in time, steadying Jonas’s wavering figure.

At the same time, he deflected Oneida’s potentially deadly strike Oneida’s eyes narrowed, she wasn’t about to back down. Her fist flew towards Alex immediately.

Alex gritted his teeth and began grappling with Oneida.

Jonas stood to one side, watching the two trade blows.

Oneida’s advantage lay in her speed. She moved with incredible agility and efficiency, her strikes just as ruthless and swift, driven by her intense emotions.

Alex was a solid guy, but under Oneida’s relentless assault, he quickly found himself overwhelmed. Oneida’s powerful sweeping kick sent Victor sprawling to the ground, unable to move.

Oneida’s eyes narrowed her expression both arrogant and lazy. Her gaze flicked over to Jonas.

“Your turn, Jonas.”

Oneida said with a faint smile, then started walking towards Jonas at a leisurely pace.

“Give me the Water Death,” she demanded, each word cutting through the air with unwavering determination, her eyes -sharp as blades.

Jonas watched her with a blank expression, his fingers curling into fists subconsciously.

“Do you want to save him that badly?” He asked, his voice low and heavy.

“Of course I do,” Oneida replied, her current demeanor that of a ruthless warrior, her eyes devoid of any warmth. “Even if it means...

“Trading my life for his.”

For Oneida, her life belonged to Jackson. Years ago, she had drowned, and if Jackson hadn’t bravely dived in to save her, sh would have died. Now, she wanted nothing more than for Jackson to live, no matter the cost.

Jonas was taken aback by the resolve and madness he saw in Oneida’s eyes, momentarily lost for words.

Oneida continued to edge closer.

“Okay.”

Jonas suddenly spoke in a low tone. Oneida paused for a moment.

Jonas’s eyes narrowed, “I can give you the Water Death.”

Oneida didn’t respond immediately, waiting for Jonas to finish what he was going to say. She knew that Jonas wouldn’t give her the Water Death without a catch. He would have conditions. What was the catch? That’s what mattered to Oneida.

“Have you heard of Paragon Group?” Jonas asked slowly, his thin lips curling. Oneida’s eyes narrowed slightly.

The Second Act Revenge (Oneida and Jackson)

The Second Act 387 Paragon Group? Of course, she knew about Paragon Group. It was a massive organization, rivaling the Aphotic Group, and a formidable opponent too.

“Rumor has it that the leader of the Paragon Group, Evan, carries a key. This key can unlock the Paragon Group’s largest Chapter 388 treasure vault.” Jonas said, his voice calm and measured. “The treasure vault contains treasures that are one of a kind in this world.”

Jonas smiled then, fixing Oneida with a meaningful gaze. “Get me that key, and I’ll give you the Water Death.”

Jonas’s eyes held a deep, meaningful glint. Oneida’s eyes narrowed, her tone heavy with skepticism as she replied, “You want the key?”

Was Jonas dreaming? Paragon Group’s strength was on par with the Aphotic Group. Even as the leader of Aphotic Group, it was tough for her to gain any advantage over the Paragon Group And now Jonas wanted her to get the key from Evan... That was pure fantasy.

Evan’s power was incredibly profound. She had seen the man from a distance once... He was a formidable adversary.

Just getting close to him was nearly impossible, let alone taking the key from him.

Jonas’s demand was hardly achievable. Almost impossible.

“Do you want those treasures?” Oneida shot a cold glance at Jonas, her tone dripping with sarcasm, “So greedy... do you even think you deserve to own them?”
