The moment the call connected, Sebastian’s cold voice cut through the air. “You can take Bernie as well.”

Theodore nodded, his face pale.

Bernie’s voice trembled. “Mr. Giovanni, what do you mean?”

“That thing isn’t Richard’s. What does he mean by they can take me?‘ Bernie’s mind raced with the rumors about Paginara over the past few years. If it fell into Richard’s hands, it would spell disaster. Bernie couldn’t help but shiver at the thought.

Theodore nervously made the call. Thirty seconds later, he looked at Sebastian sheepishly. “H–he didn’t answer.”

Sebastian’s face darkened instantly.

“I’ll call again right away,” Theodore said quickly, his voice shaking.

That look was terrifying. Remembering the bullet Sebastian had sent into his leg earlier, Theodore feared the next one might be aimed at his head.

Bernie’s heart skipped a beat. “Mr. Giovanni, I’ll get the item from my brother right away. I swear.”

“Your brother?” Sebastian’s gaze sharpened.

“Yes, the item is with my brother Bert. I’ll get it from him. Please don’t give me to Richard,” Bernie pleaded.

Richard was unpredictable. If Bernie ended up in his hands, there was no telling if he’d survive. With his people already dealt with by Sebastian’s men, Bernie didn’t dare cause more trouble.

Sebastian glanced at Elliot, who nodded and left the scene without a word.

Bernie shifted nervously under Sebastian’s silence. “Mr. Giovanni,” he ventured, his voice tinged with desperation.

Macro leaned forward, a sly grin playing on his lips. “You have any idea who you were trying to hit on?”

“Who?” Bernie’s forehead creased in confusion. He spent most of his time on Keris Isle and had no clue about Stephanie’s significance. To him, she was just another face in the crowd. Anyone close to Sebastian must be a mere plaything–what else could they be?

“That’s Sebastian’s pride and joy, the girl he raised from a child,” Macro continued, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “And you thought you could toy with her?”

He shook his head, disbelief clear in his eyes. ‘Bernie actually thinks Sebastian’ll reward him for such a reckless move. He must have been either incredibly naive or just plain foolish.‘

Bernie’s eyes widened in shock as the realization hit him. “So she’s the legendary girl?”

Even in the most secluded corners of the world, news of Sebastian’s adopted daughter had spread. Everyone knew the story of the little girl he had raised. He wondered, ‘Hasn’t she gone missing? Is this the same girl we’ve just seen? So she’s been found?‘

Macro let out a derisive chuckle. “You might not know this, but she’s also Richard’s fiancée in name. Imagine the fun he’d have if he got his hands on you.”

Sebastian’s cold gaze flicked toward Macro, a silent warning.
