Sebastian’s smile was pure venom. “Losing your mind in your old age, Cary? Mr. Claria made it perfectly clear, this was their gift to you. What does any of that have to do with me? I haven’t even laid eyes on those men, let alone conspired with them. Your imagination is running wild. Besides, do you really think a man like me needs backup to handle someone like you?”

He paused, his eyes glinting with amusement. “And for the record, I hadn’t even watched that video myself. If you hadn’t reminded me, I honestly would’ve forgotten all about it. I had no idea the content was going to be this entertaining. I guess they’re right what they say about karma. It’s a real bitch, isn’t it?”

“No… impossible!” Cary roared, his eyes bloodshot with fury. “You expect me to believe you did nothing? If you didn’t have a hand in this, how did they know about the merger? How did they find out exactly what I said to you in private?”

Sebastian’s lips curled into a mocking sneer. “Well, if you want to get technical, I suppose I did one small thing. I made sure they received regular news updates from Murica. It’s a tragedy to be stuck in such a remote, backwater hole without knowing what’s happening in the world. I just had no idea your associates would react quite so… explosively. That’s hardly my fault. Maybe you should have worked on your communication skills. Or at the very least, built a shred of trust. But clearly, there was none, so don’t go looking for someone else to blame.”

“Sebastian! I’ll kill you!” Cary snapped. In a blind rage, he lunged for the pistol tucked into Will’s waistband, whipped it out, and leveled it at the man on the stage.

The deafening crack of the gunshot sent the room into a frenzy. Screams erupted instantly as guests scrambled for cover. Lilian didn’t stop to think; seeing the bullet hurtling toward Sebastian, she shoved Eric out of the way and flicked her wrist. A streak of ethereal blue light shot from her fingertips, intercepting the bullet mid–air and knocking it to the ground.

Uriel and his wife stood frozen, their breath catching in their throats. They had seen it clearly, that blue light had materialized from nowhere. It was a display of power that defied the laws of physics, a force that matched the velocity of a bullet. The sight was beyond anything they could have imagined.

On stage, even Sebastian was stunned. He knew she had secrets, but he had no idea she was capable of the impossible. Snapping back to reality, he glanced at the security cameras and barked an order to Foster. “Wipe the hotel’s entire surveillance system. Every single frame. Now!”

“On it!” Foster shouted, sprinting toward the control room.

Cary stared at the fallen bullet in disbelief, his rage boiling over. He fixed his sights on Lilian. “It was you! You’re the one who stopped that bullet! Fine! Then you can die first!”

He pulled the trigger three more times in rapid succession.

Sebastian’s heart leaped into his throat as he scrambled off the stage, desperate to reach her.

Lilian raised her hand. This time, three silver needles glowing with a faint blue aura flew from her fingers. She had used raw spiritual energy in her panic the first time, but she couldn’t risk being that obvious again. The needles, bolstered by her inner power, sliced through the air and struck the incoming bullets, sending them clattering harmlessly to the floor.

“Lilian! Are you okay?” Sebastian grabbed her, his hands shaking as he checked her for wounds. “Are you hurt? Talk to me!”

Lilian swatted his hands away, giving him an annoyed look. “I’m fine. How would I be hurt?”
