Chapter 466 Do You Need My Help?
Seraphina’s attention was fully concentrated by the chaotic scene before her. The thugs were relentless, grappling fiercely with the bodyguards, but none dared to approach Seraphina directly.
Out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught sight of Seth trying to sneak away.
Her brows knitted together, and she pressed her lips fightly. Seth was the key to subduing these men.
She couldn’t let him get away!
Just as she prepared to rush over and pull him back, she suddenly heard Thomas’s terrified shout from the other side. “Ms. Cross, watch out!”
In an instant, Seraphina froze, her body tensing as a chilling breeze swept across her back. She instinctively realized: Someone was launching a sneak attack from behind!
There was no time to dodge–she was cornered!
At that moment, Seth lunged toward her from the front, his body moving uncontrollably, his face a mask of fear.
His speed surpassed Seraphina’s, who was still frozen in shock, as he collided with the weapon wielded by
the attacker behind her.
A dull thud echoed through the air.
Seth let out a pained scream, clutching his head as he began to curse. “What the hell was that for?”
“You threw yourself at

He looked at her. His eyes slowly drifted down, and he saw the gun she held tightly in her hand. His eyes flickered, filled with a fleeting surprise.

The number of men Seth brought, combined with Seraphina’s own, quickly turned the tide in their favor.
Seth’s lackeys stood no chance against the experienced bodyguards.
“Mr. Dros, you want this project too. As long as you can pay, it’s yours. You can’t let a woman make you lose such a great opportunity. Seth stammered, his voice tinged with panic.
The moment he laid eyes on Orion, a shiver ran down his spine. The man was terrifying, his influence and mystery rendering anyone too afraid to oppose him.
Seth tried to reason with Orion, pleading with him to make a decision for the greater good.
Orion paid him no mind, his focus solely on Seraphina. Noticing her silence, he reached out and took the revolver from her grip, easily recognizing it as a fake.
