The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 474 - 472

Quinton was about to ask someone to give Ace a ride home to Moran Manor. However, his subordinate hurriedly came to inform him about something.

"Sir, there’s an issue. A group of thugs came. They want us to deliver that b*stard, Ace, to them. If not, they’re going to set this pawnshop on fire!"

"Humph! They’re so bold! How dare they make a scene in my territory?"

"They... They look extraordinary, and they come fully armed. The key is the leader comes from a very strong background, so we don’t dare to act rashly. So, please... step forward!"

"Okay, I’m curious as to who is courting death!"

Quinton brought nothing with me as he went to Carmine Pawnshop in his casual clothes.

The large ancient gate of Carmine Pawnshop exuded a majestic magnificence. The front courtyard was covered with slab stones several thousand square feet wide. Tall and upright pine trees were planted at either side of the gate, in addition to two large ferocious-looking lion statues that were placed at either side of the door. A large blue signboard was hung above the door with gilded handwriting that read "Carmine Pawnshop."

For Water Dock, Carmine Pawnshop was an important landmark that symbolized absolute solemnity and power. It was a presence that guarded the condition of the whole dock.

Generally, the front courtyard of Carmine Pawnshop was guarded by two rows of security guards. The whole place was quiet and solemn. Besides, it was vastly different from the other crowded, noisy, and messy places in Water Dock.

However, the gate of Carmine Pawnshop was quite crowded. Some who carried along firearms waved them high in the air, chanting, "Hand him over! Hand him over! Hand him over!"

The leader was standing on high ground with no weapon but a torch. At the same time, that person led the crowd and shouted with all her might, "If you don’t hand him over, we’ll set this place on fire! Hand him over! If not, we’ll set fire!"

Quinton walked out and looked closely to find that the leader was a woman.

Besides, he knew that woman. She was the heir of the Murphy family, Seraphina. According to rumors, the Murphy family was going to ally themselves with the Moran family through marriage.

In other words, this woman was Ace’s future wife.

So, she was his sister’s past rival in love.

Well, how could he let her off the hook?

At first, Quinton was a bit angry, but he flared up in a rage because that woman was his sister’s rival in love.

"Miss Seraphina, I’ve heard a lot about you. You’re just a spoiled young lady. Why have you come to this bloody, run-down purgatory of mine?"

"You... You bloodthirsty monster. You’re finally here!"

When Seraphina saw Quinton, a tinge of fear emerged in her gaze.

According to rumors, Carmine Pawnshop was not merely a simple pawnshop but was the center of black-market trading. Anything could appear in this establishment, not least of all human lives. Everything under the sun was available as long as it could be seen.

Besides, the head of Carmine Pawnshop was called Mr. Q. Going by the moniker of Night

Demon; he was cold-blooded and merciless. He treated human life as something as cheap as dirt.

It also meant that if she stood against Carmine Pawnshop or offended Night Demon, her internal organs might be openly exhibited or sold in the pawnshop the next day.

But she was fearless for Ace’s sake. So what if her organs would be dug out? She could even risk her life, if it came to that. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Cut the crap. The people I have here aren’t ordinary thugs. They’ve been to wars. Their power will crush your lackeys’ easily. Listen to me and hand Ace over if you don’t want your territory to be ruined!"

Seraphina waved her torch and threatened rampantly.

"Miss Murphy, you should know that my Carmine Pawnshop holds a deep grudge against the Moran family. That year, he slashed my face and ruined it. He also ruined the business I built with sweat and tears. I suffered in silence for four years just so I could get my revenge.

Now that I’ve finally grabbed hold of my enemy, do you think I’ll just let him go so easily?"

Quinton put both of his hands in his pockets and asked with a faint smile. He appeared relaxed and nice, but the ferociousness in his eyes made those experienced thugs tremble in fear.

Seraphina was just a naive young lady, so naturally, she shuddered in fear. She swallowed nervously, taking a few steps back. "So, what is it you want? People like you are always fighting over money, right? My family is rich, so I can give you all the money you want... just let him go! If you don’t, the Murphy family will crush this pathetic place with just a few of our men. There’s no need for the Moran family to take action!"

"Hahaha!" Quinton’s smile widened and his eyes gleamed wickedly. "You’re such an ignorant lady... so silly and naive. I have more than enough money, so I don’t need more. You should keep it for yourself, Miss Murphy."

Quinton grinned wolfishly and slowly approached Seraphina. He had the grace of a dangerous predator cornering its prey, and the atmosphere grew thick with tension.

"Y-You don’t want money? What do you want then? Don’t be greedy!" Though Seraphina was holding a torch, her arrogance was draining away. Now, she just looked like a timid young lady.

The reason she was so scared was because Carmine Pawnshop was infamous for its powerful Daredevil Army. The Daredevils were so terrifying that none of the eight families dared to get involved with them. Additionally, the fighters Seraphina hired were not particularly strong – only some of them had experience in fighting and had military training, the rest were just there for backup.

Seraphina had planned to use money to resolve this, because she knew she was doomed to lose as soon as the two sides fought.

"I don’t want money – I want his dignity. I want the victory of destroying him and watching him crumble under my feet," Quinton sneered, loathing clear in his tone.

When Quinton was younger, he used to long for money, but now, it had lost its meaning. To him, crushing the powerful Ace’s pride and joy was far more interesting.

"You freak!" Seraphina hissed in disgust, "Lowly people like you will never be able to match him, let alone defeat him!"

"What? Haven’t I already defeated him?" Quinton pulled Seraphina to him roughly, and then raised her chin so her eyes met his. Lips curved up into a smirk, he said mockingly, "The almighty president of H Group got caught by his enemy and needed a woman to save him. Doesn’t that prove how weak he is?"

"That’s because you used dirty tricks on him. If you came at him honestly and openly, you’d never win!" Seraphina struggled in his grip, and unable to free herself, finally ordered her fighters to attack. The men moved forward bravely to try and rescue her.

The two sides began to fight, but unfortunately, the fight ended quickly. The weak fighters

Seraphina hired were quickly overpowered by Carmine Pawnshop’s Daredevils.

Seraphina’s eyes widened, and her body trembled in fear. "W-Wait! What do you want? My family... They’re powerful! We can give you anything!"

"What do I want? That’s a good question. Let me think..." Quinton chuckled softly as he stroked the side of her face.
