Orion's fingers clutched the phone, turning pale as if he intended to crush the device in his grip.
Sebastian was not just a friend but a brother to him. Orion had known Sebastian since he was ten years old,
always treating him like a younger sibling. Sebastian had called him "bro" for so many years, considering Orion
his most trusted confidant. The bond between the two transcended mere friendship.
Orion had not anticipated that Alexander wouldn't directly target the Orion family but instead chose the lowest-
cost yet most effective leverage: Sebastian. Following Sebastian's agonized cries over the phone, he yelled
frantically, "Bro, don't mind me, just go!!" Sebastian was crying in pain, yet amid his suffering, he urged Orion to
leave. This man was a devil; if Orion returned, things would surely take a grave turn.
Sitting lazily in his chair, Alexander displayed no anger upon hearing Sebastian's cries; instead, a sly smile
played on his lips. "Orion, tis running out for you. You can go, the farther the better. But under no
circumstances should you regret along the way, or else there will be nothing left."
"You are insane. Do you truly believe you can act with impunity, devoid of all decency?" Orion choked on his
words, Alexander's arrogance beyond unbearable. If it wasn't Sebastian in trouble but William or any other
person, calling the authorities might help, but Sebastian... He was an orphan, without parents.
Orion abruptly ended the call, his grip tight on the steering wheel, veins bulging on his forehead. Quinn watched

After a moment, she tugged at Orion's sleeve apologetically. Orion, seeing the guilt on her face, sighed and
shook his head, "It's not your fault. This is on me; | acted recklessly." If only he hadn't impulsively agreed to
Wayne and Quinn's marriage proposal, none of this would have happened. If he hadn't left in anger earlier with
Quinn, Sebastian wouldn't be in jeopardy now. It was his arrogance and underestimation of Alexander that led to
this moment. Quinn gestured, "Let's go back quickly."
Orion hesitated once more, gazing deeply at Quinn. "If we go back, what about you?"
Quinn pressed her lips together, silent for a couple of seconds before gesturing, "Let's go back."
With nothing more to say, Orion started the car, preparing to turn around and head back from where they came.
It would take at least forty minutes to return from this point. Forty long minutes...
Orion now knew that Alexander was truly deranged his actions surpassing all expectations of madness. He would
surely proceed to sever each of Sebastian's fingers.
The thought caused Orion's eyes to redden, glancing off the accelerator to race the car out at top speed.
Simultaneously, Quinn felt uneasy. She couldn't fathom why Alexander had transformed into this monstrous
version of himself. This wasn't the Alexander they knew.
