Felix’s brows knitted together as Sean’s words sank in.

“What?” he asked, blinking in confusion. “Another auction invitation?”

Sean gave a slow nod, his calm gaze steady.

“Yes. The last one you gave me led to something… useful. I want to know if there’s another.”

Felix sat back in his chair, confusion deepening as realization dawned on him.

“So that’s why you came here,” he muttered, half to himself. “You’re not just here about Nate… you came for the invitation.”

Sean didn’t deny it. He only watched in silence, his expression calm and unreadable as ever.

Felix rubbed the bridge of his nose and exhaled softly.

“You could’ve just said so,” he murmured. “Would’ve saved us both a bit of panic.”

Leaning back, he let out another breath and glanced at the papers on his desk, his thoughts briefly drifting to the previous event.

“I actually have one,” he admitted after a moment. “An invitation to tonight’s auction. But…” He paused, lips curving into a small, rueful smile. “I planned to use it

    Immediately, Kian saw Sean, and he was sure he was doomed.Sean had asked him to bring the man to him in thirty minutes, and now that Sean had come on his own meant that it was past thirty minutes already.And Sean had given him a warning that he was going to come get him and make him regret it if he wasted too much time, and now he had wasted too much time.“I was bringing him to you now,” Kian said, immediately lowering his gun. “He said he was going to come alone, but due to the pain in his legs, he had to slow down.”Sean’s brows arched.“I am telling the truth!” Kian said, wanting to defend himself before Sean could do anything else. “I told him that you wanted to meet with him, and he agreed! Isn’t that right, Darren?” Kian asked, turning his head to look at Darren.Kian’s gaze was pleading as he looked at Darren, and his eyes begged Darren to nod his head in agreement and agree to what he was saying.However, Darren shook his head.“My legs are fine,” he stated. “I am just here

    There was no reason for Kian to answer that question. He knew nothing would come of it. He only wanted to finish the task Sean had given him before Sean arrived. It had been a command — complete it and Sean would keep him alive.Earlier, he had come with the remaining two. Sean had told him to deal with the lackeys and bring the leader to him. He’d called it a test, and Kian wanted to be sure he finished it before Sean came for the leader himself if they dragged on too long.“Hey!” the leader yelled, snapping Kian out of his thoughts. “We’ve never done anything against each other before. So why did you and Levi come here to bother me and my men?”Kian hesitated; nothing came out.“Don’t tell me you’re here for the flower I sent my men to get?” the leader pressed.Kian shook his head as if the leader could see him. “That’s not it. I wanted the flower at first, but I don’t need it anymore,” he replied. “That flower almost became the death of me.”“What do you mean?” the leader asked,

    Several men sat in a dimly lit room, their faces shadowed and hard, each exuding an intimidating aura.The only light came from a single overhead bulb, flickering slightly, casting long, uneven shadows across the walls.The air was thick with tension, and the faint smell of smoke lingered, as if the room had been sealed for hours.All eyes were serious—brows furrowed, lips pressed into thin lines.No one moved. They stared in one direction, as if something there held their attention.At the far end of the room sat a large, slightly elevated chair, the most imposing piece of furniture in the space. One man occupied it, his presence commanding.He leaned back, hands resting on the armrests, eyes sharp and calculating. The others occasionally flicked glances toward him, subtle gestures of acknowledgment and respect.This was clearly the leader.Even without words, it was obvious. The way his posture filled the room, the faint smirk that hinted at control, he didn’t need to speak to ass

    At first, Kian didn’t hear what Sean had said clearly, so he just nodded his head, but then the words suddenly sank in.“What?!” Kian yelled, dumbfounded. “What do you mean — use us as bait?”Sean folded his arms and leaned back in his chair. “Do you need me to explain the meaning of bait to you?” he asked, eyes darting to the window again.Sean had first noticed the man was following him when he had finished tying Jamie to his car. At first, when he saw the man watching him, he had done nothing and just pretended not to see him, the man was that good at stalking and following. If Sean had been someone without any experience, he wouldn’t have noticed the man because of how skilled he was at his job.Sean wasn’t confused about where he had seen the man, either, since he had made sure to look at everyone at the auction. He had spotted the man earlier, scribbling in his notes, and had noticed the man’s weary appearance. Black hoodie, black pants, black glasses, literally everything b

    A few minutes after he had knocked them out, he dragged them out of the auction house and tied them in the car where Jamie had been tied. Now there were three people bound behind his vehicle.Without saying another word to them, he got into the car and glanced back at the baby.The baby was staring at him, his large, bright eyes still wet—he had probably been crying for a while.“Time to go,” he told the baby. “Hold on.”Igniting the engine, he drove off without another word.Later, the car pulled up in front of a warehouse.He turned the steering wheel, driving into the wide driveway that led straight to the warehouse gates.The headlights illuminated the entrance, casting a pale glow across the area.The car came to a smooth stop in front of the main doors.He shut off the engine and exhaled quietly, the sound of the cooling motor filling the silence.Pushing the door open, he stepped out, his boots crunching against the ground.The early morning air was cool, and the heavy breeze t
