Back when I was working in a meth lab, I came across the hottest drug on the market, Frost Crystal 1."
"By now, it's probably Frost Crystal 2, but the recipe hasn't changed much. The key ingredient is still Mirage Grass."
Watching Jasper talk about those drugs with such ease, the Interpol officer asked, "May I know who you are?"
"My code name was Breeze!"
The legendary figure who infiltrated the previous Toxic Monarch's inner circle for a year, endured hardships, and ultimately brought the whole gang down, Breeze!
The Interpol officer looked at Jasper with a newfound respect.
"Salute to you!"
"It was my duty."
Another Interpol officer chimed in: "That last operation was coordinated with one of our other teams. Wise Fool was there too."
Jasper's expression changed: "My sister was there?"
"Yes, the Obelisk Organization was on a mission nearby, so we invited Wise Fool to join us!"
"A lot of people were trapped in a basement well at that time, and it was Wise Fool who rescued them."
Jasper was even more surprised!
He was one of those trapped in the well!
It was a critical situation; the Toxic Monarch's men had opened the floodgates, and the basement well was about to be flooded, with over a hundred people at risk of drowning.
He hadn't realized it was his sister who had saved them!
Thinking back to how someone had blocked the valve, forcibly closing a water gate that required machinery to operate, and their smooth, cloud-like maneuvering skills, Jasper felt he couldn't keep up even with ten years of training!
Jasper's knees went weak, and he knelt on the ground!
He was completely bowing down to his own sister!
Helped up by an Interpol officer, he managed to stand and said solemnly, "...this way is correct, but there's poison gas along the path. Make sure your gas masks are secure."
"Don't worry!"
...
Meanwhile, at the Baker Group HQ.
Noella sneezed and rubbed her nose, "Who's thinking about me?"
Handing Noella a magazine, Palmer said softly, "Probably family. Everything okay with Jasper?"
"As long as Jasper isn't with me, he won't run into trouble."
With Jasper's combat prowess, especially when paired with Interpol, it was unlikely he'd face any danger.
On the contrary, being with Noella, Jasper would be too worried about her, hindering his abilities!
Family is both armor and Achilles' heel.
For them, being apart was the best choice!
"When Jasper went by the ID Breeze, his bounty was up to 50 million dollars."
Millie spat out the magazine she was chewing and exclaimed in shock, "He's Breeze? How did I not recognize him?"
"Seeing him a few years ago and now, the difference is understandable."
While acting as Breeze within the Toxic Monarch's circle, Jasper was like a proficient Magee.
Skinny, hunched, and with a look that made people uncomfortable.
After returning to Imperial City, he transformed into Jasper Schnabel, the most arrogant scion of the Schnabel family. This past was known only to the Schnabel family!
Let alone Millie recognizing him, even Noella didn't recognize him at first!
It was only after thoroughly investigating the Schnabel family that she realized Jasper was Breeze!
Millie felt her heart shatter.
"Breeze is my idol... OMG!"
"Isn't Jasper great?"
Choosing between a Southeast Asian scammer Breeze and a suave Imperial City gentleman seemed obvious.
Millie, enraged, took out a Magee!
"You don't understand, Master! My idol!"
Noella calmly replied, "So what? You've even teased him."
Millie experienced what it felt like to hit rock bottom!
If she had known he was her idol, she would never have treated him like that...
Noella watched as Millie's mental state crumbled.
