Chapter 495: Chapter 495

Looking at the girl’s face full of determination, Lucas Laine could only suppress all the unwillingness in his heart and wave for all the Hidden Guards to retreat.

"Serena." The rıghtful source is N()velFire.net

Damian Quinn stepped forward and tightly held her hand, a look of concern surfacing in his eyes.

"You don’t look well, has something happened?"

Serena Everett pursed her red lips and briefly told him everything.

"That’s how it is..."

"Impossible!" Damian Quinn’s expression instantly became serious, "My father isn’t someone who kills the innocent indiscriminately, there must have been a misunderstanding back then!"

His father was a person of integrity; there was no way he could have harmed innocent women and children!

"What happened back then is long past, investigating it isn’t easy and will take time." Serena frowned tightly, "You need to leave immediately, Master is now blinded by hatred and has lost his reason; he won’t let you go. Staying here puts you in danger!"

"Serena, what about you if I leave?"

He gently brushed aside the hair on her forehead, his tone soft yet firm.

Winston Winslow now harbored deep hatred toward him, and if he left the Netherworld Syndicate, Winston would certainly suspect the young girl.

He didn’t want to see his girl continue to be in a difficult position.

A warm current flowed through Serena’s heart, and she gripped the man’s hand in return, "I’ll go with you and uncover the truth of what happened back then as quickly as possible!"

Only by uncovering the truth about the tragic death of Master’s wife and daughter back then can all these thorny issues be resolved!

"Lucas, please cover this up from Master for me."

Lucas Laine pressed his thin lips together, his eyes clouded and obscure.

He didn’t want to help Damian Quinn, but he could never refuse any of Serena’s requests...

In the end, Lucas Laine suppressed all the reluctance in his heart and quietly said, "Okay, I’ll handle this for you, Serena."

Watching her turn around without hesitation and run toward Damian Quinn, Lucas felt a pang in his chest and instinctively reached out his hand.

But before he could touch the girl, Damian Quinn stepped forward, "Thank you, Vice Alliance Hierarch, Serena and I will be leaving now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Damian Quinn took Serena onto the car, giving Lucas no chance to speak.

"Vice Alliance Hierarch, you shouldn’t have agreed to the Alliance Hierarch’s request!"

Standing beside Lucas Laine, Finn couldn’t help but whisper.

"Damian Quinn is being hunted; if he dies, Vice Alliance Hierarch, your chance will come!"

Lucas Laine remained silent, his eyes dim and dark as he quietly watched them leave.

"Master, we were a step too late; Damian Quinn and the others have escaped..."

Lucas Laine lowered his head, reporting in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, anger flushed Winston Winslow’s pale face; but as soon as he got angry, he was hit with a fit of violent coughing.

Lucas Laine immediately stepped forward, swiftly pouring a cup of warm water and bringing it to his front.

Winston Winslow took a sip of water, and his coughing eased somewhat, but his expression remained grim and he spoke coldly.

"They can’t get far on the grounds of the Netherworld Syndicate, keep pursuing! We must capture Damian Quinn!"

Lucas Laine’s eyes darkened slightly as he respectfully responded, "Yes, Master!"

As if recalling something, Winston Winslow furrowed his brow, "Send some people to watch Serena! I’m worried she might go soft on Damian Quinn."

Lucas Laine continued to respond respectfully, "Understood, Master."

Winston Winslow gave a light cough, then sighed as if lamenting, "If I’m no longer around in future, having you by Serena’s side puts me at ease."

"Master, Serena will be able to cure you!"

Upon hearing this, Winston Winslow was noncommittal and continued, "After this matter is resolved, I’ll find a way to bring you and Serena together."

"Lucas, you are the most suitable person for Serena."

He had grown up with Serena and knew her well; no matter how you looked at it, he was the most suitable person for her!

Upon hearing this, Lucas Laine lowered his complicated eyes, making it hard to guess his feelings at the moment.

But in the end, he spoke in a deep voice, "Thank you, Master."

He knew that taking advantage of the situation now was despicable, but this might be his only chance...
