Jack did his shopping, engaging Jason in the talk about his old days, rough days in the streets where he had to thug it out, toot and nail. He had to take care of himself after his father abandoned him and his mother to life in the slums. Well, now he was glad he experienced sothing like that.
"You know..." he had said back then. "There’s not much difference between high society and the slum life. It’s just that everyone wears clean clothes and slls better. But it is still the sa rotten hearts and cold-blooded creatures."
Jason knew that this man was probably forced to beco the most cold-blooded creature of all. As they walked out, with Jason carrying the groceries like a good little servant, ack walked ahead and then he turned to Jason right as they were about to reach his car forcing him to stop in his tracks.
At that mont the man did sothing he had never expected. Jack extended his hand, smirking with that serpentine grin that never reached his cold, calculating eyes. It was way too interesting to see what was going to happen.
"Keys, Jason. Let’s see if this beast lives up to its look," he said, his voice smooth, almost mocking.
Jason arched a brow but didn’t hesitate, flipping the keys into the air. Jack caught them mid-flight, his grin widening.
"I’m a man who loves speed. Hope you’re not too attached to this beauty. I might take it away if it feels tight and snug," Jack added, walking toward the car with a spring in his step.
A sexual innuendo? Very smooth.
Jason chuckled under his breath, watching Jack slide into the driver’s seat like he owned the world. "Do what you want," Jason muttered, more to himself. His gaze lingered on Jack, his thoughts swirling.
This man is a sociopath.
The mory of the store incident resurfaced. Jack had handed a child a candy bar, assuring him it was fine to eat without paying. Minutes later, security had descended on the boy and his frantic mother. Jack had laughed as if he’d just witnessed the funniest prank. Jason on the other hand had watched him in interest.
"People are idiots," Jack had said back then with the faintest smirk on his face.
Jason, masking his disdain, had replied, "Yes, they are." But his words had carried a double aning. To Jason, the true idiot was Jack. He had been revealing more and more of himself to Jason the entire ti, and Jason was not one to let such a clear advantage go like that.
He was going to use every single thing he learned to build rapport with the man. That was what he told himself back then, and he had been hard at work. Now, Jason moved to the back of the car, loading the groceries into the trunk. His mind wasn’t on the mundane task but on the plan, he’d ticulously crafted.
Jack was dangerous, yes, but predictable. Jason had spent hours studying him, building rapport, and acting like the obedient ally Jack wanted. Every smile, every nod, every "You’re right," had been calculated.
And right then in that mont, it was all about to co together.
Sliding into the passenger seat, Jason turned to Jack, his eyes narrowing.
"Jack," he said, his voice calm but commanding. Jack glanced at him, and that’s when Jason struck.
Activating his [Emperor’s Gaze], Jason locked eyes with Jack. "From now on, you will obey my every word," he said, his tone low and resonant, each syllable weighted with authority.
Jack’s smirk faltered, his eyes widening as if an invisible hand had gripped his mind. He blinked rapidly, his body trembling. Jason saw this as a form of resistance and letting go of thoughts of everything that might be holding him back, he leaned closer, his voice soft but unyielding.
"Stop resisting." The words hit like a hamr, and Jack’s shaking ceased.
Jason’s heart raced as he turned to look at his state.
