Can't Win Me Back

Chapter 2219

Remy's face was an immense shock to Axel and Jasper, a staggering sight that hit them with the force of a bombshell. Axel, in particular, stared in disbelief, a quiver in his voice as he cried out, "Damien! Damien, is that really you?"

Remy, however, stared back with a cold, emotionless gaze, his eyes as still as a tranquil pond.

*Axel, calm down. Have a good look!"

Jasper, though internally stunned, managed to steady himself. Having never met Damien alive and only seeing him in the Taylors' family photos, he was able to quickly calm down.

With a tense jaw, he remarked, "Damien was reported dead in a plane crash. It's been years, and they never recovered his body. How could he still be alive?

*This could be someone who merely resembles Damien, a ploy by Jameson to throw us off. Axel, keep your wits about you. Don't let yourself be fooled!"

When Remy heard Jasper's words, he couldn't help but frown.

Here was another one. No, there were two of them.

That man named Damien truly had so many friends and relatives. He had been dead for over four years. Yet, there were still so many people who missed him and remembered him.

In actual fact, after Alyssa pestered Remy the other day, he had looked up information on Damien with his phone after he went back to his room.

As far as he could remember, this was his first time becoming curious about another person.

Something stirred within him when he saw the photo of Damien in his captain's uniform. Remy felt a sense of distant familiarity. But how could that be?

His name was Remy Lexington. He was an orphan. He had always been by Justin's side, and was a competent assassin.

Other than their appearance, he didn't share any other similarities with Damien.

The world was a ginormous place, and they weren't the only two people who looked alike.

*Jasper, us brothers grew up together. Damien was the brother I was closest to."

Axel stared fixedly at the man before his eyes. He was so riled up that he couldn't even conceal his emotions on his face. "No one knows Damien better than I do. He is Damien. He definitely is!"

'I'm not.' Remy stared at them expressionlessly. He said in a distant and cold voice, "I'm not the person you're both talking about. But I don't suppose you'll have any other regrets in life if both of you get to die in the presence of your loved one."

Before he finished speaking, he charged right at Axel with lightning speed, like a beast on a hunt.

"Axel, watch out!' Jasper shouted, sweat beading on his forehead as he drew his gun.

He cocked the gun and aimed it at Remy. Comtent from NóvelDrama!!

Back at the military academy, he was first in the academy at target training. Plus, his dynamic visual acuity was outstanding. Even though Remy was moving about speedily, Jasper was 90% confident that he could hit his target.

"Jasper, do not fire!" Axel yelled.

Suddenly, he felt a murderous air coming at him, and a cold glint of steel flashed. A sharp blade swept across in front of his eyes, missing him by just a hair's breadth!

Fortunately, his exceptional skills allowed him to dodge in time. Otherwise, the blade would have certainly blinded him.

"Axel!" Jasper widened his eyes in shock. How could this man be Damien?

He was such a ruthless, cruel, and cold-blooded killer. How could he be Damien?

Remy had swung his blade at 80% of his regular speed. To his surprise, Axel was able to dodge it so casually. He truly hadn't expected this.

Remy realized that he had met his match. He curled his lips into a smirk, and a look of excitement flashed across his eyes. He swung that sharp blade at Axe once again.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

This time, he aimed for his neck.

*Jasper, hurry up and go!"

Thanks to Axel's agility, he dodged Remy's attack once again. He shouted at Jasper, 'This person is trying to delay us so Jameson can move Lyse. Jasper, I'll stay here to hold him off. Hurry up and save Lyse!"

As he spoke, he swiftly tilted his head to the side, evading another lethal swipe of the blade by mere inches. The man, eerily similar to Damien, was relentless in his intent to kill. In Axel's extensive career as a secret agent, he had only come across a few individuals with such lethal proficiency.

They were truly killing machines, each swing of their knife and each gunshot calculated for efficiency and a desire for blood, with no room for showiness. Their goal was always a single, decisive kill.

That said, Axel could sense that despite the man's ruthless attacks, he was still holding back. It didn't seem like he was truly intent on taking Axel's life.

If he genuinely wanted to kill, why would he use a knife?

This island was their territory. He could very well just bring a machine gun out to shoot at them. Even if Axel were a creature with multiple arms, it would be a real challenge for him.

Fighting back tears, Jasper responded with determination, "Axel, Jonah and the others are on their way. Hang in there!"

Axel evaded another strike. He even had the time to gesture "okay" to Jasper.

It was clear that the situation was still manageable for him.

Jasper's heart, which was in his throat, settled down a little. He started running toward the manor.
