Howard York’s face turned ashen with anger, and he rushed over, his attitude unbearably arrogant.
"You damn pretty boy, how dare you disrespect me? Do you even know who I am?!"
"In Ystoria, killing a useless pretty boy like you is as easy as squashing an ant!"
Before Serena Everett could speak, Gabriella Beaumont jumped in to defend like a protective mother, "Since when does the York Family get to call the shots in Ystoria?"
The Beaumont Family is one of the ancient noble families of Ystoria, and they have been loyal to The Midnight Syndicate for years, holding a high status in Ystoria.
Gabriella Beaumont, as the only daughter of the Beaumont Family and highly business-savvy, had long been groomed as the heir apparent of the Beaumonts.
Thus, no matter which family in Ystoria, they would always give Gabriella some respect.
But Howard York was already blinded by rage, "Gabriella Beaumont, are you really going to turn against the York Family for a pretty boy like him?!"
"Every day I treat you like a queen, and you never give me the time of day. You’ve never accepted any of my invitations, yet now you’re having dinner with this pretty boy? What do you take me for?!"
Howard was so emotional, jealousy nearly spilling out of his eyes, and he reached out to grab Gabriella.
"You worthless punk, today I’m going to make you pay for making a fool out of me... Ah..."
Before his claws could touch Gabriella, Serena Everett kicked him flying.
"You’re really noisy." Thıs content belongs to n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Serena’s delicate porcelain-white face showed impatience, looking down at him disdainfully.
"You, a filthy creature, dreaming of a swan—that’s ugly, yet fantasizing grandly."
These words might not be very harmful, but they were extremely insulting.
Howard struggled to get up from the ground, enduring the pain, and swung his fist towards Serena.
"You dare lay a hand on me and disrespect me , today I’m going to teach you a harsh lesson, pretty boy!"
Serena didn’t even lift an eyebrow, clearly not seeing him as a threat.
This further enraged Howard, and he swung his fist at Serena’s face, about to strike...
With a "snap," Serena moved so quickly that it was hard to see. Howard’s left hand was wrenched and broken, the pain almost causing him to blackout.
Then with a shoulder throw, Howard was slammed heavily to the ground, unable to get up from the pain.
Serena stepped on Howard’s face with overwhelming dominance, sneering, "Who do you think you are?"
Howard’s face turned colors, he had been humiliated by a pretty boy!
"Cough, cough... You dare treat me , the York Family won’t let you off!"
Serena pressed down harder on his face, her beautiful fox-like eyes full of mockery.
"I’d like to see how the York Family plans to take me down."
"Stop it, no one can cause trouble at Caesar’s Casino; that’s the rule of The Midnight Syndicate!"
Witnessing this, Gabriella’s face turned worried and she moved to intervene, but Finn stopped her.
"Miss, our boss doesn’t like being interrupted when he’s teaching someone a lesson."
"But he’s the young master of the York Family!"
Though the York Family in Ystoria doesn’t surpass the Beaumont Family, they are still prominent.
Gabriella was frantic, "Besides, this is Caesar’s Casino, The Midnight Syndicate’s territory. No one is allowed to make trouble here! Don’t you know that in Ystoria, The Midnight Syndicate is like God, you can’t offend them!"
Unlike the anxious Gabriella, Finn remained calm and simply replied, "Oh."
What’s all this fuss about? Our Alliance Hierarch already offended The Midnight Syndicate greatly!
The guards of Caesar’s Casino arrived quickly, surrounding Serena.
"Who are you? Don’t you know that no one is allowed to cause trouble at Caesar’s Casino?"
"What a coincidence."
Serena slightly tilted her head, showing no fear, instead a wicked grin crossed her face, her tone defiant and bold.
"I’m here to cause trouble today."
At these words, the whole place erupted in disbelief.
No one could believe someone would dare be so arrogant on The Midnight Syndicate’s turf!
Even Gabriella was stunned, her heart beating faster.
How bold! No one has ever dared to be so defiant in front of The Midnight Syndicate!
And yet, he’s so handsome!!!
"Outrageous! How dare you come to The Midnight Syndicate’s turf to stir up trouble!"
Gabriella snapped back to reality, quickly stepping forward to plead, "He’s my friend, it’s his first time at Caesar’s Casino, he doesn’t know the rules. Please, for the Beaumont Family’s sake, forgive him this once!"
The head guard of the Hidden Guard remained unyielding, "Miss Beaumont, these are the rules personally set by the leader. Anyone who breaks them must face the consequences."
Hearing him mention that fool of a leader of The Midnight Syndicate, Serena thought about how much she had lost because of him, almost draining her funds, and her mood soured instantly.
The next moment, Serena easily snatched the gun from the head guard, pointing it right at his forehead.
"Let’s see if The Midnight Syndicate really has what it takes!"
"You... Daring to be this insolent on The Midnight Syndicate’s land, courting death!"
The chief guard’s expression changed drastically, becoming grave as he pressed a button, and the alarm in the casino rang out, with a large group of Hidden Guards hurrying over.
Serena remained calm, her glowing red lips curling coldly as she tossed a smoke bomb.
The guards panicked and tried to shoot out the smoke bomb, but instead of extinguishing, it exploded prematurely.
"Ah... There’s shooting, run..."
The sound of gunfire and smoke spread out simultaneously, sending the wealthy patrons into a panic, and soon the entire Caesar’s Casino was in chaos.
Serena reached out to steady Gabriella, who was nearly knocked down by the panicked crowd, and casually helped fix her disheveled hair, her tone nonchalant yet inexplicably reassuring.
"You all leave first, or else it wouldn’t be good to frighten you lovely ladies later on."
Meeting her mischievous fox-like eyes, Gabriella’s heart skipped a beat, lingering blankly.
Oh no, she’s fallen in love...
The other young heiresses close to Gabriella hurriedly dragged her away, everyone rushing out in panic.
Serena watched as most of the unrelated people evacuated from Caesar’s Casino, her delicate brows raised lazily, tone indifferent.
"It’s time to start our plan."
