Chapter 960
Quinton was about to ask someone to give Stefan a ride home to Hunt Manor. However, hissubordinate hurriedly came to inform him about something.
“Sir, there’s an issue. A group of thugs came. They want us to deliver that b*stard, Stefan, to them. Ifnot, they’re going to set this pawnshop on fire!”
“Humph! 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 verystrong 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 wascovered with slab stones several thousand square feet wide. Tall and upright pine trees were planted ateither side of the gate, in addition to two large ferocious-looking lion statues that were placed at eitherside of the door. A large blue signboard was hung above the door with gilded handwriting that read“Carmine Pawnshop.”
For Water Dock, Carmine Pawnshop was an important landmark that symbolized absolute solemnityand power. It was a presence that guarded the condition of the whole dock.
Generally, the front courtyard of Carmine Pawnshop was guarded by two rows of security guards. Thewhole place was quiet and solemn. Besides, it was vastly different from the other crowded, noisy, andmessy places in Water Dock.
However, the gate of Carmine Pawnshop was quite crowded. Some who carried along firearms wavedthem high in the air, chanting, “Hand him over! Hand him over! Hand him over!”
The leader was standing on high ground with no weapon but a torch. At the same time, that person ledthe crowd and shouted with all her might, “If you don’t hand him over, we’ll set this place on fire! Handhim over! If not, we’ll set fire!”
Quinton walked out and looked closely to find that the leader was a woman.
Besides, he knew that woman. She was the heir of the Murphy family, Seraphina. According to rumors,the Murphy family was going to ally themselves with the Hunt family through marriage.
In other words, this woman was Stefan’s future wife.
So, she was his sister’s past rival in love.
Well, how could he let her off the hook?
At first, Quinton was a bit angry, but he flared up in a rage because that woman was his sister’s rival inlove.
“Miss Seraphina, I’ve heard a lot about you. You’re just a spoiled young lady. Why have you come tothis bloody, run-down purgatory of mine?”
“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 ofblack-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 internalorgans 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 riskher 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 willcrush your lackeys’ easily. Listen to me and hand Stefan over if you don’t want your territory to beruined!”
Seraphina waved her torch and threatened rampantly.
“Miss Murphy, you should know that my Carmine Pawnshop holds a deep grudge against the Huntfamily. That year, he slashed my face and ruined it. He also ruined the business I built with sweat andtears. I suffered in silence for four years just so I could get my revenge.novelbin
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 andnice, but the ferociousness in his eyes made those experienced thugs tremble in fear.
