The servant was standing outside while carrying a bowl of steaming herbal medicine, but the servant did not dare to enter the room. "Mr. Hunt, please take the medicine while it's hot. There is residual venom in your body. If you don't take the medicine in time, I'm afraid that the toxin may spread. It'll be dangerous by then…" The physician, whose mustache had turned white, stood outside the room and advised Stefan earnestly. He had treated many noble and rich people, so he had seen a lot of patients who were hard to deal with. However, it was the first time for him to meet such a difficult patient like Stefan. At first, Stefan was nearing death. He was finally saved after much difficulty, but he did not listen to the others at all. He did not even want to take the medicine. He was simply courting death. "Where's Renee? Where is she? I want to see her. Get lost if you're not her!" Stefan casually picked up an antique vase and threw it hard at the door. When it was about
After a brief pause, Stefan found the bowl of medicine before he leaned his head back to gulp it down."Can you tell me now why you're keeping me alive?" His thoughts were very clear. He made a guess and hit the nail on the head. "Did Renee say something to you? You guys reached some kind of deal... What is your relationship with her?" He vaguely heard Renee address Quinton as her brother and Quinton address her as his sister when he was in the water dungeon. However, wasn't Renee the only child? When did she get a brother out of the blue?He had too many doubts he needed to figure out. Even if he had to die, he had to die without any doubts. "I don't have to tell you about our relationship. The reason I keep you alive is because I'm kind and generous. I don't want my pawnshop to be stained with blood..." "Ridiculous!" Stefan snorted and retorted, "Is Midnight Demon someone to be trifled with? You're born a demon, and you regard the lives of others' lives as mere dust. Yo
Logically, he should have fed Stefan to the crocodiles in the river, but... his desire to kill him had somewhat subsided. It might be because of his sister or that he had been lying low for so many years. He did not like killing as much as he was in the past. "Why? You don't want to die? Do you want to launch a counterattack?" After that, he turned around and looked at Stefan with a smirk. "Don't worry. I'll give you a ride back to the Hunt family after your body is clear of the snake venom." "Are you willing to let me go?" With knitted brows, Stefan felt quite surprised. The Midight Demon he remembered was a complete demon. He was inhumane too. It was considered kind if he did not hack his enemy into pieces or ruined his enemy completely. But... he was willing to let Stefan go. It was as if pigs could fly. Hmph! Unfortunately, he would not be able to see that even if it did happen..."Let me correct you. I'm not going to let you off the hook. I'm just keeping you ali
While fumbling, Stefan vigilantly closed the door. The only person he trusted in Carmine Pawnshop was Chase. He did not think that the four-year master-servant relationship was merely acting. "Mr. Hunt, what would you like to ask me?" Chase sighed secretly and asked Stefan softly. "How is Renee? Did that maniac hurt her?" "Don’t worry, Mr. Hunt. Ms. Everheart is fine. Even if my boss hurt himself, he won't hurt Ms. Everheart," Chase answered honestly. "So, they're siblings?" "Yes, they're mixed-gendered twins." "No wonder that maniac let me go. It's unprecedented!" Stefan slowly clenched his fingers with deep shock. Although he had long guessed that Renee had an extraordinary relationship with that man, he was still ill at ease when he confirmed it at the moment. His beliefs were deeply shaken. It turned out that the rumor was not ungrounded. That year, the Everheart family did gain a pair of twins of mixed genders. However, rumor had it that the elder son died u
Finally, Stefan had a mental breakdown. No matter how strong his heart was, how could he convince himself to face such a hard truth? "That's all I wanted to say. Your body is clear of snake venom now. My boss is a man of his word. Soon, someone will take you back to the Hunt family. Take care." After that, Chase gave Stefan a firm bow full of apology before he left the room. After a long silence, Stefan's crazy roars came from the room. He sounded like a wounded beast. There was even the sound of things being smashed. "Renee, you're such a cruel monster!" Standing not far away from the room, Chase rubbed his fingers together in a deep struggle. Quinton was standing beside Chase with his head high and chest out. He then cracked a satisfactory smile and nodded at Chase. "Chase, you did a good job. So, it seems you've made up for your faults with some contributions. Work hard at Carmine Pawnshop from now, and I won't hold you responsible for what happened in the past." H
Quinton was about to ask someone to give Stefan a ride home to Hunt Manor. However, his subordinate hurriedly came to inform him about something. "Sir, there's an issue. A group of thugs came. They want us to deliver that bastard, Stefan, to them. If not, they're going to set this pawnshop on fire!" "Hmph! They're so bold! How dare they make a scene in my territory?" "They... They look extraordinary, and they come fully armed. The key is the leader comes from a very strong background, so we don't dare to act rashly. So, please... step forward!" "Okay, I'm curious as to who is courting death!" Quinton brought nothing with me as he went to Carmine Pawnshop in his casual clothes. The large ancient gate of Carmine Pawnshop exuded a majestic magnificence. The front courtyard was covered with slab stones several thousand square feet wide. Tall and upright pine trees were planted at either side of the gate, in addition to two large, ferocious-looking lion statues that were placed
Seraphina was just a naive young lady, so naturally, she shuddered in fear. She swallowed nervously, taking a few steps back. "So, what is it you want? People like you are always fighting over money, right? My family is rich, so I can give you all the money you want… just let him go! If you don't, the Murphy family will crush this pathetic place with just a few of our men. There's no need for the Hunt family to take action!""Hahaha!" Quinton's smile widened and his eyes gleamed wickedly. "You're such an ignorant lady… so silly and naive. I have more than enough money, so I don't need more. You should keep it for yourself, Ms. Murphy." Quinton grinned wolfishly and slowly approached Seraphina. He had the grace of a dangerous predator cornering its prey, and the atmosphere grew thick with tension."Y-You don't want money? What do you want then? Don't be greedy!" Though Seraphina was holding a torch, her arrogance was draining away. Now, she just looked like a timid young lady.The
Quinton's gaze travelled over Seraphina's body meaningfully, and he replied, "I heard you're Stefan's girlfriend now. Are you two getting married soon?" "Yes, Stefan and I are childhood sweethearts, and we have similar backgrounds, so it's only a matter of time before we get married. If you don't want to offend both the Hunts and the Murphys, let him go!" Seraphina said defiantly.Quinton merely smirked lazily in response. "Say, I think I want to have some fun with Stefan's woman. What do you think will happen if I do?""Don't even think about it, you hooligan!" Seraphina's face flushed in anger. She tried to slap Quinton's cheek, but he quickly grabbed her wrist and stopped her.Quinton sneered, "You'll do anything for your fiance, won't you? How about I offer you a deal then? If you serve me well, I'll let Stefan go."Quinton pretended to be a pervert and caressed her body, making her shiver. "After that, I'll release the video of us to the public. When that happens, the whole
