Chapter 676
“What a surprise!” Nathaniel smirked. “You lied to me, claiming to be Sheena’s bodyguard. You
know, it’s funny that I didn’t recognize you, letting you dance around right under my nose all these days!”
Lionel mocked, “It’s because you’re just too dumb.‘
Nathaniel’s smile vanished instantly, replaced by a cold and icy demeanor.
Jamie asked, “Sir, what should we do with him?”
“Put away the guns. They’re too loud. Take him to a secluded place and deal with him quietly,” Nathaniel casually instructed.
Lionel chuckled and taunted, “Nathaniel, do you really think your minions can kill me?”
Nathaniel provocatively raised an eyebrow, saying, “Why not give it a try?”
As soon as he said that, Jamie immediately started attacking.
Lionel’s eyes turned fierce as he evaded the attack and swiftly retaliated.
It was six against one, yet in a matter of seconds, Lionel, with incredible speed, took down two
opponents.
However, his movements were rather restricted as he was holding the cooler box. Moreover, he had
no weapons.
Lionel was soon hit in the back with a taser.
An intense electric shock surged through his body, causing uncontrollable convulsions.
Jamie took the opportunity to deliver a strong blow to the back of Lionel’s knee with a baton.
Lionel grunted, using one hand to support himself, avoiding a humiliating fall, with the left arm still tightly guarding the cooler box.
Nathaniel clicked his tongue, uttering, “I know you’re skilled and have a robust physique, trained personally by Elliot. But facing a taser barehanded is still quite challenging.”
The gentle sounds of violins from the main banquet hall faintly reached them.
Nathaniel lazily rubbed the wound on the back of his neck, growing impatient.
“Forget it. Just shoot him with the gun. I’ll explain to Mom later.”
“Yes.
Jamie pulled out the gun again, aiming at Lionel’s head, ready to pull the trigger.
“Stop! Everyone, freeze!”

Sheena suddenly appeared behind Nathaniel, swiftly restraining his hands in a reverse grip. The silver needle on her ring pressed firmly against his neck, and blood trickled down his throat.
sheena threatened, “This silver needle is incredibly sharp. If you don’t want me to slit his throat, don’t move!”
Seizing Jamie’s moment of hesitation, Lionel took the chance, snatched the gun from him, and pressed it against his forehead,
The situation instantly reversed, leaving the remaining three guards uncertain about what to do.
In the tense atmosphere, Nathaniel was the first to laugh.
“Nana, this isn’t fair, is it? We were conducting a legitimate trade, and you resorted to theft. If you manage to steal it, won’t I be on the losing end, losing you and Clear?”
“Is there such a thing as ‘fairness‘ when dealing with a monster like you? Weren’t you scheming to both keep me and withhold Clear?”
After mocking him, she immediately became serious.
“Free Lionel and I’ll stay.”
“No can do. The wedding is just seven days away. If he takes Clear back to Froania now and cures Elliot, won’t that bastard come over to snatch you?”
Nathaniel narrowed his eyes slightly, signaling the three remaining guards.
Three tasers were aimed at Lionel’s back.
Another shock would surely bring him down!
Nathaniel, utterly unafraid of the concealed weapon pressing on his neck, flashed a charming smile at
Sheena.
“Nana, don’t be unreasonable. You won’t kill me. I’m holding an alarm. If I die, you and Lionel won’t be able to leave, and Elliot will be beyond cure. In the end, we’ll all perish together.”
Sheena did not back down, and the ring closed another two millimeters.
Blood droplets once again trailed Nathaniel’s neck, staining the collar of his pristine white shirt with
red.
Sheena defiantly stated, “Indeed, I won’t kill you. But before I came here, I learned some techniques from Noah. I can guarantee someone’s life but leave the lower half of their body paralyzed. I wonder if that’s important to you.”
