Chapter 484 Not Afraid of Trouble
Justin was the first to regain his composure. Perhaps it was the countless hours spent acting or his familiarity with scripts involving gangs that gave him this advantage.
After listening to Sivir, he couldn’t hide his disdain and snorted dismissively.
“What’s the big deal with gangs? Our company has funded plenty of congressmen and military officials. When the time comes, we can mobilize the army. I doubt those thungs can handle tanks and cannons!”
The earlier conversation finally weighed Seraphina down as she started to process the situation.
While the assassin might have had ties to a gang in the past, that didn’t necessarily mean the local gang was involved in this matter.
She lifted her eyes and looked at Sivir, her tone calm and rational.
“Today’s society is not what it was decades ago. Any gang worth its salt is in the process of cleaning up its image. Our company hasn’t had any direct confrontations with them, and there’s no reason for them to escalate things. We need to investigate whether this assassin is still connected to the gang. We should avoid using violence unless absolutely necessary.
Sivir was skeptical the local gang posed much of a threat to the Cross Group. Seraphina’s words make sense to him.
a large–scale bloody conflict could be detrimental to their company.
With that thought in mind, he had some plans.
“Alright. I’ll take care of this. Don’t worry. We won’t seek trouble with them, but we won’t shy away from it either.”
Seraphina nodded. Sivir gently ruffled her hair before turning to Justin. “I’m heading back to the office. Call me if you need anything.”
The room fell silent once more.
Since Seraphina was not in her best mood, Justin decided to install a projector in her hospital room to watch movies. He animatedly explained his plans to her.
Seraphina looked at him with a mix of despair and disbelief. Was he planning to stay here forever?
Was he really pleased to be away from home and not have to keep Emeris company?
Pulling the blanket over her head, she sighed, “I need to rest. Justin, you can go have fun somewhere else.”
Justin stared at her and was at a loss for words.
How could she be so ungrateful?
He stormed out, grumbling to himself. Many people desired his company. Seraphina had no idea how wonderful he was!
The design of the hospital was the result of careful construction by renowned foreign designers. The room

It felt less like a hospital and more like a casual, semi–open area, with security only at the main entrance.
Inside, the atmosphere was serene and elegant, with a modern flair that instantly put one at ease.
As Justin walked through the corridors, he attracted envious glances from doctors and nurses alike. But just as he turned a corner, he spotted a man sitting alone in a bamboo chair not far away.
He squinted. Haha! Isn’t that Orion?
As he approached, he noticed Orion sitting there with lonely and desolate demeanor. Orion must be feeling quite depressed, especially now that Wilson was standing beside Seraphina.
Considering Emeris’s attitude toward Wilson, Justin wondered if there might actually be something brewing between the two.
Orion looked up and caught sight of the smiling Justin.
“What a coincidence, Mr. Dros!”
His appearance surprised Justin.
Orion’s eyes were bloodshot, suggesting he hadn’t slept in days. It seemed he hadn’t slept in days, and he appeared anxious and unwell.
It was a side of Orion Justin had never seen before, and he was no longer in the mood to tease h
verted his gaze, his voice rough and gravelly. “Is she doing better?”
Clearly, he was here to visit Seraphina.
Justin sighed and sat beside him.
“Much better. She can’t walk, but there aren’t any major issues. Mr. Dros, I appreciate your concern.”
Orion’s eyes flickered slightly as he stared at the floor, lost in thought.
Blinked, Justin raised an eyebrow and asked, “Aren’t you going to visit her?”
This wasn’t like Orion at all.
Orion froze. Of course, he wanted to see her. He had been itching to rush over the moment he heard she was hurt.
Yet, as he approached the door, he hesitated.
For reasons he couldn’t quite understand, a wave of panic washed over him.
The fact that Wilson shared the same blood type as Seraphina only deepened his unease, embedding a painful ache in his heart.
He couldn’t shake the feeling of being too ashamed to face her.
