Semua Bab Goodbye, Saintess.: Bab 541 - Bab 550

But to save the man she loved in this life…Hera turned back to Sebastian. A storm of emotion flickered in her eyes, held down through sheer will."Sebastian, I truly loved you." She faced forward again, her gaze steady with tragic resolve. "In the next life, I hope to be your wife again."Her quiet declaration struck everyone in the hall like a heavy hammer.Baron and Frank stiffened. Even Edmund's expression shifted. He never expected Hera's love for Sebastian to run so deep that she would cast aside her dignity, even her purity.Jealousy and spite twisted Edmund's face into something grotesque. "Good. Then kneel down, strip, and crawl to me.""Fine." Tears slid down Hera's cheeks in silent streams. Her jaw locked tight enough to hurt. Her legs bent as she began to kneel before Terry and Edmund.Even Metis, who normally disliked Hera, could not stomach such cruelty. "This is too much! You monsters! Women are not toys for you to degrade!"At the front, Byleth's cold stare shar

"I hate this!" Terry's eyes burned with rage and unwilling defiance, though his body still trembled in fear the moment I stepped toward him."You said you had more people. Then call them. If you can't, it's my turn." My tone stayed calm. He was obviously bluffing, and I kept moving forward.Not far away, Edmund tried to slip out through the chaos. The moment he moved, I lifted the chair in my hand and brought it down on his leg without hesitation.Edmund screamed and dropped to the floor, clutching his thigh with both hands. "Ahhh! It hurts, it hurts! It's broken, it's really broken!"His whole body shook in panic.Terry froze as well, terrified by how sudden and ruthless I was. With a shrill scream, he bolted toward the elevator like a madman.But he could not outrun someone who had worked as a firefighter. Within five seconds, I caught him, dragged him back, and kicked him hard in the knee.His legs buckled. Terry fell to his knees in front of me. "Sebastian, I was wrong! Give

At the same time, I told Baron and Frank to head to the surveillance room and prepare to collect evidence."I must trouble the two of you," I said with a smile. "The people around me are all girls. I can't let them watch something this disgusting."Both men glanced at Terry and Edmund. A chill crept up their spines."Mr. Grimwald, you're absolutely right," Baron muttered."For a piece of the Amos family's pie, we'll endure it," Frank added.They steeled themselves and left the banquet hall for the surveillance room."All right, we should go too." I looked toward Metis and Byleth. Neither hesitated. Both wore expressions of deep disgust as they hurried out of the hall.Hera watched me with open hope, waiting for me to give her some direction."Dear husband—""Don't call me that. We're divorced." I faced away from her and didn't turn around. I walked on without another glance.Before I left the doorway, I gave her two parting lines. "Thank you for tonight. But we can't go back.

Byleth sensed the weight of my gaze. For the first time, a faint blush crossed her calm face. She stepped behind me and stayed quiet."Mr. Grimwald, our people will arrive soon. We can wait a little longer.""That's right, Mr. Grimwald. They are already on the way."Baron and Frank moved to his side and tried to reassure him.I had just nodded when the line of black cars outside shifted. An elderly man stepped out of the front vehicle.It was Terry's grandfather, Harvey Amos, patriarch of the Amos family."Sebastian, finally we meet again." Harvey leaned on his cane as he faced me. His cloudy eyes narrowed, and his tone held no clear emotion."Yes, Mr. Amos. Long time no see." My voice stayed calm. I did not bother to lift my eyelids.There was a time when a man like Harvey felt unreachable to me, someone I only saw on television. Now that we stood in the same place, he looked like any other stubborn old man."Tonight I offer an apology for the trouble caused by my useless gra

Because the family operated across so many industries, they needed security everywhere to block rivals from scheming against them. Yet tonight, for Terry's sake, Harvey had pulled nearly the entire Amos family's foundation away from its posts."He really intends to kill us. He wants us dead no matter the cost." Baron's face went pale as rage and fear tangled together. "This is bad. Even if our reinforcements arrive, they can't match more than a thousand men from the Amos family."Frank looked just as shaken, his expression tight with unwilling disbelief. "Calling for help now is too late. Are we really going to die here tonight?"At the same time, Metis clung to my arm, her voice trembling. "Sebastian, this is out of control. Byleth is only one person. How long can she hold them off? What do we do?"I didn't answer. I kept my eyes fixed on Byleth.She moved among the Amos family guards like a swift dragon. One punch or kick from her could drop a man in an instant, but there were t
