Sterling Norwood looked at Selena Kensington. "Stay here."
"...Okay."
Selena originally wanted to say she’d go out with him, but faced with Sterling Norwood’s gaze, she couldn’t say a word.
Sterling Norwood and Hughes walked out the door.

Outside, the Gailo Family was furious.
They’d been fooled!
Just monts after handing over all their assets, they were surrounded by the Colombo Family.
At that ti, the Gailo Family managed to remain calm.
Later, Samuel Dalton appeared and directly exposed them.
Only then did the Gailo Family realize the others had known they were here all along.
"Albert, look at your pathetic clown act... Tsk."
Samuel Dalton spoke in pure Vylandish, his tone mocking and disdainful.
"You!!!"
Albert, held back by the Colombo Family, was about to jump up to confront him.
Unfortunately, the Colombo Family wasn’t to be trifled with either.
He could only glare wide-eyed, filled with resentnt and frustration.
Samuel Dalton spoke slowly, "Albert, indeed this island is yours now; the Colombo Family never breaks its promises."
He changed his tone, "But... whether you can leave here today, I can’t guarantee."
He smiled at the Colombo Family mbers who were glaring at him intensely.
Their resentful, unwilling, yet powerless expressions brought him a strange pleasure.
He enjoyed seeing the eyes of those on the brink of execution.
Such unwillingness, regret, and hatred.
Yet still powerless.
Defeated ones, stop dreaming of rising again.
Afterward, what Albert said was exactly what Selena Kensington overheard.
Samuel Dalton listened for a while but soon grew impatient.
Albert sneered, "Did you think we’d co out this ti without backup?!"
Samuel Dalton paused, his smile growing broader.
"Oh? You an those reinforcents outside? Ah... truly grateful, otherwise finding your lair would’ve been quite the hassle."
Albert shivered. "You... you’re... a Devil!"
"...You’ll rot in hell!!"
"I curse you! Alessio Colombo! I curse you!"
Samuel Dalton had no patience for these useless complaints anymore. "Take them away."
After saying that, he turned and walked out the door.
As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Sterling Norwood and Hughes.
His gaze montarily faltered.
It was him...
His sister’s lover.
Honestly, it made him jealous.
Samuel Dalton maintained his expression as he t Sterling Norwood’s eye. "Patriarch Norwood, Mr. Lyon, a pleasure."
A silent battle ensued between the two n.
Samuel Dalton nearly lost his composure.
Sterling Norwood looked at him indifferently, nodding slightly.
Hughes spoke inquisitively, "As expected from the Young Master of the Colombo Family, recognizing the Norwood Family Head at a glance."
Samuel Dalton’s expression remained unchanged. "Just a coincidence."
"I’ve got so business to attend to, so I won’t disturb you further."
Having said that, he prepared to leave with the Gailo Family and others.
But Room Five’s door unexpectedly opened at that mont.
Samuel Dalton’s heart trembled, stopping unconsciously.
Inside, having heard nothing from outside, Selena Kensington couldn’t suppress her curiosity and ca out.
She slightly peeked her head out, not looking at Samuel Dalton, but at Sterling Norwood. "Is it settled?"
Seeing her appear, Sterling Norwood turned sideways, holding her hand to let her co out. "Yes, it’s all right."
