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
e!” the attacker replied weakly.
“Who the hell dares to kick me?” Seth trembled with rage.
Seraphina didn’t turn around; she lifted her gaze to see Orion striding toward her, flanked by a group of imposing figures.
Dressed in black, his tall frame loomed like a devil emerging from darkness. His eyes were red, emanating an aura of menace, as if he had just stepped out of hell itself.
The cold wind stung her face, but Orion appeared impervious to the chill.
He approached Seraphina. His gaze was deep and intense, swirling with complex emotions.
Yet, beneath it all, the fury was unmistakable.
He was angry that she had put herself in danger, angrier still that anyone dared to lay a hand on someone so dear to him.
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.
“Why are you here?” Seraphina asked calmly, though her heart raced at the sight of him.
If it hadn’t been for Orion, Seth’s men would have undoubtedly attacked her. She had underestimated the

Orion’s arrival sent a chill down Seth’s spine, as if he had just encountered a devil.
The bravado he had just displayed vanished in an instant. “Mr. Dros?” He stammered.

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.
His voice was cold and sharp, laced with an icy calm, yet a sardonic smile danced on his lips.
“Have you ever played with the real thing?”
Then, he produced a sleek Glock from his waistband and handed it to Seraphina with an effortless nonchalance.
The gesture was casual, yet it sent a chill through everyone present.
Fear made Seth’s legs weak, and he dared not question whether Orion was aiming the weapon at him.
Seraphina accepted the gun calmly, showing no signs of surprise or fear.
Who exactly were these two?
Panic gripped Seth as his complexion turned pale, the fear coursing through his veins, freezing him in place.
Seraphina hefted the weapon in her hands. Orion took hold of her wrist, aiming the gun toward Seth.
Tension hung thick in the air and was ready to snap.
Orion’s expression remained impassive, his tone icy. “Is it him? Do you want me to deal with him?”
