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

“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.
“You freak!” Seraphina hissed in disgust, “Lowly people like you will never be able to match him, let alone defeat
him!”
“What? Haven’t I already defeated him?” Quinton pulled Seraphina to him roughly, and then raised her chin so her
eyes met his. Lips curved up into a smirk, he said mockingly, “The almighty president of H Group got caught by his
enemy and needed a woman to save him. Doesn’t that prove how weak he is?”

struggled in his grip, and unable to free herself, finally ordered her fighters to attack. The men moved forward
bravely to try and rescue her.
The two sides began to fight, but unfortunately, the fight ended quickly. The weak fighters Seraphina hired were
quickly overpowered by Carmine Pawnshop’s Daredevils.
Seraphina’s eyes widened, and her body trembled in fear. “W-Wait! What do you want? My family… They’re
powerful! We can give you anything!”
“What do I want? That’s a good question. Let me think…” Quinton chuckled softly as he stroked the side of her
face.
