Danica was so furious she wanted to slap this savage hick across the face, but then she suddenly remembered that Cassia had once taken down three thugs all by herself. She definitely had some serious brute strength. On second thought, it was probably better not to start a physical fight.

Brie was also tugging at her sleeve from behind, urging her to hold back.

Cassia slipped on her white sneakers and pulled open the door, glancing back with a look of cold indifference.

“I’d rather feed the dog than let you have what’s mine!”

With that, Cassia slammed the door and left.

Near the Wood Manor, inside a luxurious yet understated villa.

Draven sat on the couch, his impeccably tailored black suit accentuating his tall, slender frame. Loose strands of hair fell across his forehead, casting shadows over his face.

Even so, they couldn’t hide the sharp, dark coldness gleaming in his eyes.

Draven didn’t just have Seven as his subordinate. He had another one named Axel Orren.

The soup for Cassia had been sent on Draven’s orders by Axel.

But at this moment, Axel stood off to the side with his head bowed, too afraid to make a sound.

“You know what happens when you fail to get the job done.”

“Boss, please give me one more chance.” Axel lowered his head even further.

The air in the room was thick and suffocating.

Seven tugged at his collar, finding it hard to breathe.

“Boss, how about giving him another chance, for my sake?”

Draven shot Seven a sidelong glance.

Okay, so he had no leverage to speak of…

Seven pursed his lips and walked over to Axel, lecturing him like a seasoned mentor. “You really did drop the ball this time. You should have had someone deliver the mushroom soup directly into Ms. Wood’s hands. You couldn’t even handle something this simple. How could you expect Mr. Grey not to be angry?”

Axel didn’t try to explain himself and kept his head down.

He hadn’t gotten the job done. It was indeed his mistake.

“But you can’t entirely blame Axel for this!” Seven turned to face Draven and started defending Axel. “Who could have guessed that Brie and Danica would be so shameless! That mushroom soup was specially made to help Ms. Wood recover, and they had the nerve to take it!”

As Seven kept talking, he got more and more animated. “But hey, you gotta admit, Ms. Wood is a total badass! She’d rather give it to the dog than let them have it. Man, that was so damn satisfying!”

At the mention of Cassia, the harshness in Draven’s expression softened.

“This is the last time.” Draven looked at Axel with cold, narrowed eyes.

“Yes, Boss. I understand!”

Axel exhaled in relief as if he had just received a pardon. “Thank you for giving me another chance, Boss.”

Draven picked up his phone from the table and opened the Pocket Novel app.

Seeing this, Axel bowed respectfully to Draven and quietly left.

Draven looked at “Fallen of the Massacre” on his reading list.

Still no update?

Draven’s brow furrowed deeply, a dark and icy aura emanating from him.

The moment Seven saw this, he knew the author of “Fallen of the Massacre” hadn’t updated again.

Speaking of “again,” that author who went by “SkyeDreame” had already missed an update once before. Who knew what they were doing yesterday, but there was no new chapter.

The boss had been looking forward to binge–reading two days‘ worth of content, but not only was there no update yesterday, there was nothing today either.

“You don’t think they abandoned the story, do you?” Seven speculated aloud.

The moment those words left his mouth, Seven found himself pinned by a dangerously intense gaze.

His gut told him that if that author dared to abandon the story, Draven would absolutely hack. into their computer, track them down, and scare the living daylights out of them.

“I’m just kidding! With a fan like you, Boss, that author wouldn’t dare to drop the story even if they had a hundred times the guts!”

That answer seemed to go over well enough.

Draven’s gaze shifted back to his phone screen.

“Um…” Seven changed the subject. “Boss, I still have no leads on ‘C. I’ve ruled out everyone I could, but I still can’t find him. Do you think he slipped out through a back door? Or used some other trick?”

“Keep looking.” Draven left those two words, stood up, and walked out.
