Chapter 956

Author: Mizuki Sei
After a brief pause, Stefan found the bowl of medicine before he leaned his head back to gulp it down.

"Can you tell me now why you're keeping me alive?"

His thoughts were very clear. He made a guess and hit the nail on the head. "Did Renee say something to you? You guys reached some kind of deal... What is your relationship with her?"

He vaguely heard Renee address Quinton as her brother and Quinton address her as his sister when he was in the water dungeon.

However, wasn't Renee the only child? When did she get a brother out of the blue?

He had too many doubts he needed to figure out. Even if he had to die, he had to die without any doubts.

"I don't have to tell you about our relationship. The reason I keep you alive is because I'm kind and generous. I don't want my pawnshop to be stained with blood..."

"Ridiculous!"

Stefan snorted and retorted, "Is Midnight Demon someone to be trifled with? You're born a demon, and you regard the lives of others' lives as mere dust. Yo

    Logically, he should have fed Stefan to the crocodiles in the river, but... his desire to kill him had somewhat subsided. It might be because of his sister or that he had been lying low for so many years. He did not like killing as much as he was in the past. "Why? You don't want to die? Do you want to launch a counterattack?" After that, he turned around and looked at Stefan with a smirk. "Don't worry. I'll give you a ride back to the Hunt family after your body is clear of the snake venom." "Are you willing to let me go?" With knitted brows, Stefan felt quite surprised. The Midight Demon he remembered was a complete demon. He was inhumane too. It was considered kind if he did not hack his enemy into pieces or ruined his enemy completely. But... he was willing to let Stefan go. It was as if pigs could fly. Hmph! Unfortunately, he would not be able to see that even if it did happen..."Let me correct you. I'm not going to let you off the hook. I'm just keeping you ali

    While fumbling, Stefan vigilantly closed the door. The only person he trusted in Carmine Pawnshop was Chase. He did not think that the four-year master-servant relationship was merely acting. "Mr. Hunt, what would you like to ask me?" Chase sighed secretly and asked Stefan softly. "How is Renee? Did that maniac hurt her?" "Don’t worry, Mr. Hunt. Ms. Everheart is fine. Even if my boss hurt himself, he won't hurt Ms. Everheart," Chase answered honestly. "So, they're siblings?" "Yes, they're mixed-gendered twins." "No wonder that maniac let me go. It's unprecedented!" Stefan slowly clenched his fingers with deep shock. Although he had long guessed that Renee had an extraordinary relationship with that man, he was still ill at ease when he confirmed it at the moment. His beliefs were deeply shaken. It turned out that the rumor was not ungrounded. That year, the Everheart family did gain a pair of twins of mixed genders. However, rumor had it that the elder son died u

    Finally, Stefan had a mental breakdown. No matter how strong his heart was, how could he convince himself to face such a hard truth? "That's all I wanted to say. Your body is clear of snake venom now. My boss is a man of his word. Soon, someone will take you back to the Hunt family. Take care." After that, Chase gave Stefan a firm bow full of apology before he left the room. After a long silence, Stefan's crazy roars came from the room. He sounded like a wounded beast. There was even the sound of things being smashed. "Renee, you're such a cruel monster!" Standing not far away from the room, Chase rubbed his fingers together in a deep struggle. Quinton was standing beside Chase with his head high and chest out. He then cracked a satisfactory smile and nodded at Chase. "Chase, you did a good job. So, it seems you've made up for your faults with some contributions. Work hard at Carmine Pawnshop from now, and I won't hold you responsible for what happened in the past." H

    Quinton was about to ask someone to give Stefan a ride home to Hunt Manor. However, his subordinate hurriedly came to inform him about something. "Sir, there's an issue. A group of thugs came. They want us to deliver that bastard, Stefan, to them. If not, they're going to set this pawnshop on fire!" "Hmph! 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 very strong 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 was covered with slab stones several thousand square feet wide. Tall and upright pine trees were planted at either side of the gate, in addition to two large, ferocious-looking lion statues that were placed

    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, Ms. 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

    Quinton's gaze travelled over Seraphina's body meaningfully, and he replied, "I heard you're Stefan's girlfriend now. Are you two getting married soon?" "Yes, Stefan and I are childhood sweethearts, and we have similar backgrounds, so it's only a matter of time before we get married. If you don't want to offend both the Hunts and the Murphys, let him go!" Seraphina said defiantly.Quinton merely smirked lazily in response. "Say, I think I want to have some fun with Stefan's woman. What do you think will happen if I do?""Don't even think about it, you hooligan!" Seraphina's face flushed in anger. She tried to slap Quinton's cheek, but he quickly grabbed her wrist and stopped her.Quinton sneered, "You'll do anything for your fiance, won't you? How about I offer you a deal then? If you serve me well, I'll let Stefan go."Quinton pretended to be a pervert and caressed her body, making her shiver. "After that, I'll release the video of us to the public. When that happens, the whole

    Stefan frowned. As he carefully made his way towards the door, the crying voice became louder."It must be Renee… they're torturing Renee! Chase was lying, Renee can't be the Midnight Demon's younger sister! She would never leave me behind!" Agitated, Stefan hurriedly opened the door. Unable to see, he tripped over the steps and crashed to the ground, hurting his palms and knees. He quickly got up, but tripped and fell again after just a few steps. He was a complete mess."Save me! Help! Don't touch me! Get away from me!"Stefan's heart ached with worry when he heard the woman's cries for help."Useless! Damn it, Stefan, you good-for-nothing!" Stefan snarled, feeling distraught. He covered his face with his hands, feeling like he was losing his mind. How he wished he could gouge out his eyes! He knew his woman was in danger but couldn't do anything about it. It was worse than having someone torture him to death!"Renee, wait for me. I'm coming! I'll save you!" Stefan swore, his bo

    "Stef! What do you mean? I'm Seraphina. Don't you recognize me?" Seraphina tried to tidy her torn clothes, her eyes filled with tears. She looked at Stefan, feeling ashamed. "Are you disgusted? Those monsters hurt me and made me dirty. Is that why you don't want to talk to me anymore?""Oh, it's you!" Stefan exhaled, feeling relieved. Stefan had thought it was Renee who called for help, and images of her being tortured had flooded his mind and made his head ache. Fortunately, it was not Renee."W-What do you mean?" The desperation in Seraphina's eyes grew. Stefan's attitude towards her was a million times more painful than the abuse she had just suffered."Did you think I was Renee? Did you think those monsters tortured Renee as she tried to save you? Are you relieved to find out that it was just me? Because if it's me, you wouldn't have cared as much, would you?" Seraphina cried out bitterly.Stefan did not reply, and instead asked her, "Seraphina, what are you doing here? What ha

    Then, Stefan calmly placed the crab leg on the plate in front of Leia. Leia was flabbergasted. She did not dare to move. She wondered what he was doing, and if he wanted to sacrifice her."Why aren't you eating it?" Stefan looked at Leia, sounding composed. Yet, he was full of the dominance that could burn anyone.Leia swallowed and gnashed her teeth, asking Stefan, "How could you peel the crab for me? Isn't it inappropriate?" She was the most cowardly person. Usually, she looked fierce and indignant as if she wanted to punish Stefan severely. But when he came to her and looked at her, she would be very frightened. She would not dare to do anything."Why not? Someone said women shouldn't peel the prawns or crabs themselves. I'm just being a gentleman. It's nothing serious. It's just peeling the crab!" Stefan said. It was rare to see him speak so much. It was incompatible with his contradictory identity. However, it was clear that he was mocking Justin and saying how ridiculo

    Both Stefan and Justin mocked each other, which made the atmosphere more awkward. Although Liam and Leia were simply watching the fun, they felt awkward, too. It made them restless.Renee was having a hard time, too. She smacked the table and said to Stefan and Justin, "You'd better stop eating. Go out and fight. The food got cold because of your endless fight."When she spoke, she sounded like a class teacher with absolute authority. Although both Stefan and Justin were dissatisfied, they fell silent and did not dare to say more. Everyone started enjoying the great food, but said nothing. It seemed a little gloomy.Renee was about to get a prawn, but Justin had already peeled it nicely for her. He dipped it in some sauce and put it in Renee's bowl. "I know you love prawns the best. I've peeled it for you. Of course, women can't peel the prawns themselves.""Oh, Mr. Baldwin. You're considerate. You're a role model among the men. Anyone who marries you will be very happy!" Le

    Justin smiled and described the children's experiences, acting like a stepfather. When he talked about the children, he made it sound like they were his biological children. Stefan didn't look so good. He felt that the glass of wine was getting bitter."Well, I'm sure kids will find everything new and exciting when they go to a new place. But they'll get bored with it when time passes. They'll love their real home better." Stefan had wanted to act relaxed and casual, but he could not stop himself from refuting when he heard Justin's provocative words. "Mm?" Leia sat beside Liam and leaned against his arm, and whispered, "What are they doing? This is weird. Are they going to fight?""It's just a competition between men. They won't get into a fight." Liam kept eating and watching the fun. He merely found it amusing. As expected, Renee was greatly admired. Although she remained silent, she would always be in the limelight. Liam was amused to see people like Stefan or Justin

    "How dare you!"Stefan's words instantly made Leia speechless. She had wanted to rebuke him, but he snatched the chance from her and struck her dumb.In short, he was an utter scumbag.After a moment, Leia finally managed to comment, "How shameless!" Justin had kept silent all the while. He looked at Stefan with a scrutinizing and mocking gaze. "Mr. Hunt, I admire your honesty and self-awareness. If that's the case, let's stop being reserved and have fun together!""Yes, let's have fun together. I'm shameless, too!" Liam joined in the effort to mock Stefan. He swayed his glass of wine and faked a smile. "I've known her a long time, so of course I know what shameless things Mr. Hunt has done. I think I'd better grab this chance to tell you all of them since everyone is here today."Standing at the door, Renee was worried that Liam might say more indecent things. She hurriedly stopped him. "Pipe down, Liam!" "Got it." Liam shrugged helplessly but obeyed her.Although he yea

    "Do you want to leave?" Stefan saw Renee. He was calm, indifferent, and distant. His behavior stung Renee. Renee could easily recall their lovey-dovey memories. They had both risked their lives for each other and vowed to be together forever. They had two children, too. Yet, they ended up as strangers.Although Renee was heartbroken, she became competitive. She smoothed her hair and said in a similarly cold manner, "I'm going to the washroom." "Okay." Stefan did not have anything to say. He nodded and walked past Renee before heading to the dining table. "Hmph! I didn't expect you to come so boldly," Quinton sneered.At the sight of Stefan, Quinton subconsciously clenched his fists, acting like he was about to fight Stefan. On the surface, he wouldn't act aggressively because he knew Renee would stop him. "It's not easy for the few great families to get together. It's good and meaningful for us. If I refused to come, it would make me seem heartless."Stefan kept his co

    Having said that, Renee lowered her head, about to leave. She didn't even have the time to bother about Adie and Abby, and told Quinton to take them home later. Her strange behavior filled Quinton with displeasure. He blocked Renee and said solemnly, "Are you afraid? Do you want to run away? People might think that you're guilty and have cheated on your husband!""No, I'm not!" Renee refuted him loudly, then explained seriously, "I'm busy. I need to handle something right away. Plus, I'm not guilty. I did nothing wrong. There's no reason for me to feel guilty." Quinton went straight to the point. "What are you afraid of since you know you're not guilty? Why do you want to run away? He should be afraid instead!""I told you. I'm not afraid of him. I'm just…" "What?" Quinton crossed his arms and looked at Renee coldly. He wanted to get to the bottom of it.Renee came up with a ridiculous yet normal excuse. "I… I recalled that the dessert shop that I want to head to is about to

    Jovan called Stefan to sound the latter out. Anyway, it would be convenient for Stefan to rush over since they were both at the same spot. "I'll be right there," Stefan said. Then, he hung up.For a moment, silence washed over everyone, as if something terrible was about to happen.After taking in the new information, Leia said indignantly, "What's going on? Why does he want to come? Isn't he too shameless? How dare he come?" Although everything wasn't discussed openly, everyone knew why Stefan and Renee broke up all of a sudden, despite how lovey-dovey they were. The reason was that Stefan had cheated on Renee.Even if the adultery was faked, it was still the cause of their breakup. If Stefan were shameful or guilty, he wouldn't have agreed to come. He was going to face Renee there with their friends and family around. Certainly, it was embarrassing. "Hmph! Why not? He impersonated me, seized my business, and snatched away my woman. Plus, he led a steady life, got married

    Jovan's words made the atmosphere quiet and bizarre. "Are you out of your mind, Jovan? It's already very annoying to have someone like you here. Do you have to get another annoying guy?" Leia frowned, crossing her arms. She kept scolding him.Initially, the atmosphere was considered harmonious. It was still considered fine even if there was an annoying person like Jovan. Unexpectedly, he wanted to call another, more terrible person to come here. Things would certainly go wrong. "Ms. Osborne, you're famous for talking harshly, too. You're just like me. I love it." However, Jovan was not mad at all. He grinned while waiting for Stefan to answer the call. Generally, Stefan would not answer Jovan's call. Surprisingly, he picked it up that time."What's the matter?" Jovan purposely put it on speaker mode. Stefan sounded aloof and emotionless.Jovan sounded wicked as he calmly asked Stefan, "Do you want to join a gathering, Stefan?""I'm going to hang up if you don't say anythi

    In the past, Jovan had always regarded Stefan as a coward. Stefan couldn't forget about Renee, but he kept pushing Renee to another man. It seemed like Justin was more responsible, considerate, and gentle. Of course, Renee would lead a very happy, steady, and comfortable life with such a man. At the very least, Jovan felt that he could not be that meticulous and considerate. He would only drive Renee mad just to get her attention. "Hmph! Are you trying to humiliate me or yourself?" Justin didn't find that a compliment. Instead, it sounded like smockery. Jovan made it sound like Justin was a nice guy, but would not be picked by Renee. Usually, people like that had to suffer and would not end up well."I'm praising you." Jovan was helpless because of his reputation as the villain. Although he had said a lot of annoying things, he did want to compliment Justin. His love was probably as deep as Justin's, but his and Stefan's ways of loving Renee were much inferior to Justin's.
