"I told you to get it!" Sebastian barked angrily.Mabel flinched, her face going from white to red. "Oh, you think you can yell at me, Sebastian? Fine! I'll get it. But if you don't find Ms. Sutton today, I'm not letting this slide!" she snapped back. She stormed off in a huff, but within five minutes, she'd found what Sebastian needed—a handful of protective charms and some blessed pens."Here's what you wanted," she said with her arms crossed, glaring at him. "Now, what's this all about?"Sebastian took a quick glance at the items and replied coldly, "Leave me alone.""Excuse me? Hey, I went through all that trouble to find this stuff, and now you want me to leave?" Mabel was fuming.What the hell was Sebastian up to?"Do you wanna find Whitney or not?" Sebastian asked, his voice as cold as ever.Mabel's expression shifted, and she hesitated for a moment before saying, "I… fine! I'm leaving! Let's see what kind of mess you can make without me!"With a huff, she turned and s

Instantly, the scrawny man's arm froze in midair. He let out a blood-curdling scream while clutching his arm. Dropping to his knees, he writhed in pain and yelled in agony."Who's there?" the other man shouted. He grabbed a machete and glared at the rusted iron doors. A figure emerged from the doorway, each step slow but deliberate, radiating an air of menacing aggression."You two are dead meat," Sebastian said coldly, his voice dripping with murderous intent. The air around him seemed to vibrate with sheer malice. Even Whitney could feel it as she shuddered at the intense atmosphere.She stared in shock at Sebastian, who had appeared like some kind of hero to save her. Tears welled up in her eyes as she was overwhelmed by relief. She never expected him to be the first to find her.Sebastian raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you okay?"Whitney nodded furiously, tears streaming down her cheeks as she said, "I'm fine… I'm okay…"Whitney suddenly felt so wronged and aggrieved

Leonardo's face darkened instantly upon hearing the question. He frowned and stared across at Sebastian with a cold gaze. "Who the hell are you?""Does it matter? You just need to answer me. Were you behind Whitney's kidnapping?" Sebastian asked coldly.Leonardo snorted, laughing derisively. His eyes were filled with contempt and mockery. "Kid, you come into my place talking big. Are you looking to get yourself killed?""Yes or no?" Sebastian repeated, his tone unwavering.Leonardo's expression turned grim, his eyes gleaming with irritation. He turned to Milo and asked sharply, "Where's the woman?"Milo was already in a state of shock as he collapsed to his knees with a cry. "Leo, h-he saved the woman!""What?" Leonardo roared, his anger erupting. His eyes locked onto Sebastian, his voice turning ice-cold. "Kid, are you here to start trouble?"Sebastian replied calmly, "Trouble didn't start with me. It started with you."Leonardo's rage boiled over. "You're fucking dead!" Wit

"Who even are you?" Sebastian frowned.Leonardo let out a mocking chuckle, his voice filled with spite as he shouted. "You don't even know who Mr. McQueen is, and you dare wreck our casino? You really have a death wish!" "Spit it out if you have something to say," Sebastian retorted coldly.Leonardo was infuriated by the comeback, and he shouted, "Fine, you're so cocky! Let me tell you, this is Mr. Zachary McQueen, one of the three infamous underground casino kingpins in Steinberg!Leonardo continued, "In Steinberg, everyone bows to Mr. McQueen? He controls 18 underground casinos and over 20 entertainment venues! Just one word from him, and he can summon a thousand men! "Kid, no matter how tough you are, you think you can take on a thousand people? I suggest you get down on your knees and beg for mercy, or you'll be dead before you know it!" Sebastian frowned, looking at the crawling Leonardo. "You done?" he asked coldly.Leonardo frowned. "What are you waiting for? Kneel!" h

Upon seeing James enter, Zachary's expression changed dramatically, and his brow furrowed with concern."Mr. Turner? What brings you here?" Zachary reined in his anger and gave a slight bow, showing James a level of respect.James, the head of the Turner family, was a legendary figure in Steinberg. Anyone with any influence in the city had to give James some measure of respect. Even someone like Zachary knew better than to disrespect him."Hmph! If I hadn't come, would you have gone so far as to cripple Mr. Ballard?" James snapped, his face filled with displeasure.Zachary shuddered at his words, and he frowned in confusion. He glanced at James and asked, "Mr. Turner, are you here for this punk?""Watch your words!" James pounded his cane on the ground with a resounding thud, his voice sharp with reprimand. "Zachary! To speak to Mr. Ballard like that… Are you disregarding me?"Zachary froze, and his expression changed. He quickly stammered and said, "No, of course not, but I don'
