As the dagger was about to pierce Sebastian’s heart, Sebastian suddenly opened his eyes and swiftly grabbed the assassin’s wrist.
Startled, the assassin tried to pull away. But Sebastian’s grip was firm. No matter how hard the assassin struggled, there was no way to break free. In desperation, the assassin swung a palm toward Sebastian’s head.
“You strike quite fiercely,” Sebastian remarked calmly, blocking the attack with his hand. With a forceful pull, he caused the assassin to collapse onto his bed.
“Let go of me!” The assassin struggled vigorously, shouting angrily. The voice was clear and pleasant, and her eyes blazed with fury.
Sebastian flicked his finger, releasing a burst of spiritual energy that turned on the switches. The room was instantly illuminated.
The assassin’s figure was graceful, and she had a faint fragrance.
“Don’t move, or I’ll kill you,” Sebastian threatened as he grabbed her neck, causing her to freeze in fear.
He reached out and removed her mask, revealing an incredibly beautiful face. It was none other than Rainey.
Sebastian wasn’t surprised; he had already guessed it was her.
There were many guards around the house, and only someone from the Lloyd family could have bribed a few to sneak in. Among those who might want him dead, only Rainey and Ferguson fit the bill. The slender figure of the assassin matched Rainey’s.
“Let me go, or I’ll kill you!” Rainey shouted, her face was filled with murderous intent.
“Ms. Lloyd, we have no enmity. Why did you sneak into my room to kill me in the middle of the night?” Sebastian asked with a smile.
“You old bastard, you made me wash your feet. I want to cut you into pieces and feed you to the dogs.”
“Who would’ve thought you’d hate me this much just for washing my feet? If I were to sleep with you now, you’d probably dream of killing me,” said Sebastian.
“You’re slandering me. I never had that thought. Let go of me, or I’ll scream for help,” Rainey threatened.
“Go ahead and scream. I’d like to see how your father deals with your attempt to assassinate me,” Sebastian snorted.
A trace of worry flashed in Rainey’s eyes. If Benjamin found out, she wouldn’t be spared.
“Even if my father knew, he’d only punish me. But being defiled by you would be worse than death. If you let me go now, I’ll compensate you handsomely,” said Rainey.
“Do I look like someone who needs money?” Sebastian asked with a sly smile.
“Name your conditions and I’ll try to meet them as long as they’re not too excessive,” Rainey offered.
“My demands are simple. You stay here tonight and serve me well. You have such delicate skin. Just looking at you makes my mouth water. I bet it’ll be quite enjoyable,” Sebastian said lecherously. He wasn’t merely scaring her. He genuinely had this desire.
