Chapter 160: Chapter 160: Mr. Grant Appears (1)

Seraphina Sterling didn’t even have to think. ’No one but Miles Galloway would do something like this!’ She had taken every precaution, yet she never imagined they would target the people around her instead!

Seraphina Sterling made a quick excuse and left. She didn’t know how far Miles Galloway would go. Although Genevieve Churchill seemed carefree and nonchalant, she was still just a girl who had never seen the dark and dirty side of the world.

Seeing Seraphina Sterling leave, Logan Grant followed her. "You know where Genevieve is!" It wasn’t a question, but a statement of fact.

"I’ll bring her back!" This was Seraphina Sterling’s way of admitting she knew Genevieve Churchill’s whereabouts.

"I’m going with you!" Logan Grant kept pace. "If a single hair on Genevieve’s head is harmed, her brother will absolutely flip out! And I’ll be the first one to suffer!"

Seraphina Sterling didn’t object. ’They clearly didn’t just meet at the conference.’ If this was their first meeting, they wouldn’t speak with such familiarity and lack of restraint. Besides, Logan Grant had been training since he was a child. His skills should be decent. If they ran into an emergency, he should have no problem protecting Genevieve Churchill.

From his tone, it was clear Genevieve Churchill wasn’t from some ordinary family either. To be acquainted with the Grant Family of Aethelgard, her background couldn’t be simple. And that brother he mentioned... if things really escalated, the situation wouldn’t be easily resolved. ’If Miles Galloway actually dares to touch Genevieve Churchill, the Galloway Family is done for.’

By the time they reached the docks, a speedboat was already waiting for them.

There were many small islands around Sanford. They were either developed into tourist areas, leased to corporations for factories, or were privately owned.

The winter wind howled past her ears as a chill rose from the river. The cold air snaked its way into her collar, but Seraphina Sterling stood with her back straight, her gaze fixed on the brightly lit docks ahead.

As the night grew darker, a thin white mist rose from the river’s surface, threatening to shroud the entire island. Seraphina Sterling knew they were entering an extremely dangerous place. Here, anything could happen.

"Miss Sterling, please."

The moment they stepped off the boat, four men in suits led Seraphina Sterling and Logan Grant to what looked like a villa complex. From the outside, it appeared to be some kind of bar, but upon entering, they realized it was an enormous casino. The main hall was packed with people, including many influential figures one would never see in public. ’The security here must be incredible,’ Seraphina thought. These people could enjoy the thrill of gambling without any fear of the outside world finding out.

Seraphina Sterling had never been to a place like this. Professional dealers, beautiful women in bunny outfits, top-shelf red wine—whatever you could possibly want, they had it. ’Whoever has the power to run a place this big must be extraordinary,’ she thought. ’If Miles Galloway’s backer is the owner of this casino, then this situation has just become a lot more complicated.’

After a moment of shock, Seraphina Sterling composed herself, her mind already racing to analyze potential scenarios and formulate a response.

The two were led down to the basement level. If the floor above was heaven on earth, this was hell.

Room after room was enclosed in transparent glass. Some were spattered with blood. Others contained dismembered body parts—fingers were the most common, but there were whole hands, too. The cleaning crew seemed completely numb, wiping away blood and sweeping up fingers as if they were merely cleaning up spilled water and everyday trash.

"Please, I’m begging you, let me go! I’ll pay you back! I swear I’ll pay you back! I promise!"
