A Crazy Night Novel

So far, no one stayed alive and well after threatening Nathaniel.

A glacial glare settled in Nathaniel’s eyes as he typed: Deal with him however you want. Old Mrs. Taggart’s life is worth more than an assistant’s.

Manuel was annoyed and frustrated by Nathaniel’s reply.

I don’t believe this! I’ll find a way to threaten Nathaniel!

Manuel placed the phone screen before Sebastian’s eyes and spat, “Open your f*cking eyes and read this carefully. You worked so hard for Nathaniel, yet he doesn’t care about your well-being when you’re in trouble. See? This is what you get for being a loyal dog to this man.”

Sebastian’s limbs were tied to the chair, his face swollen, and his eyes bloodshot. He was in so much pain that he could only manage to open them a little to read the text.

When the blurry words came into his view, he smiled and spat a mouthful of blood at Manuel before laughing maniacally.

Annoyed, Manuel wiped the blood off his face and slammed his fist at Sebastian’s head.

The impact sent Sebastian toppling to the ground. Like a lifeless fish, he lay weakly on the stinking ground, and his eyes stared blankly at the hanging beams on the roof.

“D*mn it! How dare you provoke me? You’re asking for it!” Manuel rushed forward to give Sebastian a few more kicks, determined to give the latter an agonizing punishment. However, one of the lackeys held Manuel back.

“Mr. Manuel, you mustn’t beat him to death. It’ll be useful to keep him alive. Maybe it’s Nathaniel’s way of stalling for time. Sebastian’s basically the second-in-command for Hadley Corporation. We’ll just have to test it out to see if Sebastian’s valuable to Nathaniel,” said the lackey.

Manuel frowned hard and shoved the man away. “Carry on.”

with relief, the lackey grinned. “Sebastian’s been working for Nathaniel for many years, which proves how much the latter trusts him. I’m sure Sebastian knows many the Hadley family’s secrets. No matter how stubborn he is, he’ll definitely spill everything under torture. I refuse to believe he’s willing to sacrifice his life
