�You� You bloodthirsty monster. You�re finally here!�

When Seraphina saw Quinton, a tinge of fear emerged in her gaze.

According to rumors, Carmine Pawnshop was not merely a simple pawnshop but was the center of black-market trading. Anything could appear in this establishment, not least of all human lives. Everything under the sun was available as long as it could be seen.

Besides, the head of Carmine Pawnshop was called Mr. Q. Going by the moniker of Night Demon; he was cold-blooded and merciless. He treated human life as something as cheap as dirt.

It also meant that if she stood against Carmine Pawnshop or offended Night Demon, her internal organs might be openly exhibited or sold in the pawnshop the next day.

But she was fearless for Stefan�s sake. So what if her organs would be dug out? She could even risk her life, if it came to that.

�Cut the crap. The people I have here aren�t ordinary thugs. They�ve been to wars. Their power will crush your lackeys� easily. Listen to me and hand Stefan over if you don�t want your territory to be ruined!�

Seraphina waved her torch and threatened rampantly.

�Miss Murphy, you should know that my Carmine Pawnshop holds a deep grudge against the Hunt family. That year, he slashed my face and ruined it. He also ruined the business I built with sweat and tears. I suffered in silence for four years just so I could get my revenge. Now that I�ve finally grabbed hold of my enemy, do you think I�ll just let him go so easily?�

Quinton put both of his hands in his pockets and asked with a faint smile. He appeared relaxed and nice, but the ferociousness in his eyes made those experienced thugs tremble in fear.

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, Miss 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 reason she was so scared was because Carmine Pawnshop was infamous for its powerful Daredevil Army. The Daredevils were so terrifying that none of the eight families dared to get involved with them. Additionally, the fighters Seraphina hired were not particularly strong � only some of them had experience in fighting and had military training, the rest were just there for backup.

Seraphina had planned to use money to resolve this, because she knew she was doomed to lose as soon as the two sides fought.

�I don�t want money � I want his dignity. I want the victory of destroying him and watching him crumble under my feet,� Quinton sneered, loathing clear in his tone.

When Quinton was younger, he used to long for money, but now, it had lost its meaning. To him, crushing the powerful Stefan�s pride and joy was far more interesting. JrNovels.com
