Chapter 467 He Really Dares to Kill

+8 Pearls

Orion seemed almost impatient, his eyes a deep crimson, betraying a fury and ferocity he could no longer contain. He was unconcerned about the consequences of his actions, unfazed by the trouble he might provoke. To him, this situation was nothing new.

However, if they were terrified by Seraphina, that was an entirely different matter.

Seth, upon hearing Orion's words, felt his bones go weak. He collapsed onto the ground, kneeling and raising his hands in surrender.

"I was wrong; I was truly wrong! Mr. Dros, please spare me! Don't kill me!"

He had merely used a bit of intimidation against Seraphina; who could have anticipated that it would lead to such a deadly predicament?

Orion was different from Seraphina. If he decided to kill, he would truly do it. Even in front of so many witnesses, Orion could toss Seth into the river and make him disappear forever.

That was the most terrifying aspect about him.

Orion was a ruthless man who was capable of such cruelty and who valued life so little.

Seth's pleas fell on deaf ears; Orion showed no sign of compassion.

Realizing his desperate situation, Seth turned his attention toward Seraphina.

"Ms. Cross! Ms. Cross! Please spare me! I was wrong; you can take whatever you want; just don't kill me."

Seraphina looked down. She released Orion's hand and examined the gun in her grasp with a slight smile,

"Of course, I intend to take this and another set of ledgers."

She was determined to take what was hers, embodying the attitude of a true victor,

As soon as she spoke, Seth froze momentarily, then quickly understood.

From the very start, Seraphina taking the ledgers was only the first step; everyone knew that the real ledgers were hidden away.

They had their official accounts, but there were also clandestine records.

Seth hadn't expected Seraphina to be so forthright-she was going after a second set of books!

If that set were exposed, he and Blake would surely find themselves behind bars.

He hesitated, torn between the decision to comply or resist.

Just then, Seraphina pulled the trigger, her cold smile unmistakable.

It was a threat. Seth needed to choose between his life or the ledgers?

conceded, "Alright."

Nobody anticipated that the other set of books wasn't even at the company but was deceitfully hidden in Seth's home.

In just 20 minutes, all the people and vehicles in the area had disappeared.

Seth led them to retrieve the books. He was fearful of Seraphina's gun and dared not keep anything to himself.

Seraphina instructed her people to move the items. This trip had been a resounding success.

After they left, Seth sat on the ground, wiping the sweat from his brow as if he had narrowly escaped death.

In the car, Seraphina repeatedly examined her prize.

Unlike her intimidating toy, this was the real deal.

She was surprised that Orion would carry a weapon with him.

Thomas had been forcibly escorted into Orion's car by Ken, and now Orion sat next to Seraphina.

Watching her study the gun in her hand, he couldn't help but smirk.

"Do you like it?"

Seraphina paused before handing it back to him.

"What brought you here?"

Orion's smile faded slightly, and he said, "I told you, things are complicated. It's dangerous. How could I let you handle things on your own?" His voice was low and gravelly, echoing in the confines of the vehicle.

Seraphina let out a forced smile and said, "Thanks, but aren't you worried I might get a jump on you and talk to Senator Long about this project?* Orion's gaze flickered, suddenly focusing on her.

"Don't you trust me?"

Seraphina shot back, "There's no foundation of trust between us, is there?"

Her honesty hung in the air.

The car fell silent for a few seconds.

She could feel the chill radiating from Orion.

It was inexplicable.

"Aren't you on your way to see Senator Long?" she asked

Pressed for time, he had initially planned to speak with Senator Long as well, but Seraphina's words caught him off guard, leaving him feeling resentful.

It seemed as if everything he did for her came with an ulterior motive.

Seraphina chuckled softly. Haha, this j*rk!Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Even though they were rivals, they employed completely different methods, and it was uncertain who would ultimately come out on top.
