Hank scoffed arrogantly. “This here is the heir of the Lannister family from
Zovince–Mr. Gwain Lannister, the man known as the best fighter in the world!
Not someone you insignificant guards can stop!”
Immediately, the guards bowed their heads in fear. However, the head guard
remained firm and apologized, “Mr. Lannister, I’m very sorry, but this venue
has been reserved by Maestro Moretti. She specifically ordered that no one
enter unless invited. All her guests have already gone inside. If you wish to
meet her, you will have to wait until after the performance.”
Gwain frowned, displeasure evident on his face.
Wyatt coldly added, “Maestro Moretti is elusive. Who knows when we’ll have
another chance to see her after tonight? Do you really think you can
disrespect Mr. Gwain and the Lannister family of Zovince?”
The Lannisters, while not as obscenely wealthy as the Chapman family or as
politically connected as the Zelinsky family, nor controlling commerce like the

Tanner family, were a prestigious family with a century–old legacy. Their
reputation was just as prominent nationwide.
The guards were caught in a difficult position, sweat starting to bead on their
foreheads. Isabella was strict, and none of them dared disobey her orders.

“Mr. Gwain, please allow me to report this to Maestro Moretti,” the head guard
offered, hoping to defuse the situation. But before he could take a step, Hank
kicked him aside. “Get lost! If others can go in, why should Mr. Gwain have to
wait outside?”
The trio began pushing their way into the magnolia garden, easily
overpowering the guards without needing Gwain to lift a finger. Hank and
Wyatt dealt with them swiftly, leaving a path of unconscious bodies behind
as they forced their way through with Roselynn in tow.
Sonia, worried about Shane, hesitated for a moment before steeling herself
and sneaking in behind them.

“Shane? Where are you, Shane?” Sonia called out softly as she walked deeper
into the garden. The magnolia trees surrounded her, and the place seemed
deserted, making it difficult to find anyone.
“I’m here!” Shane suddenly jumped out of a bush, covered in dirt and leaves.
Sonia couldn’t help giggling when she saw him.
She pulled out a handkerchief and began dusting him off. Shane, transfixed
by her gentle touch and kind smile, felt his heart racing. It was as if the world
had stopped, and he could hear nothing but the pounding of his own
heartbeat.
“What’s wrong?” Sonia asked, noticing Shane was standing perfectly still, his
eyes wide as if in a daze.
“Miss Toma, you… you’re so beautiful,” Shane blurted out before quickly
turning away, feeling his cheeks burn with embarrassment. He fidgeted like a
shy schoolboy, unable to meet her gaze

“What are you laughing at?” Shane eventually turned back, his face still red
but curious.
“You’re like a little kid,” Sonia teased gently.
Shane was about to respond, still flustered, when he noticed something in
the distance. Through the trees, four figures passed by, one of whom he
immediately recognized.
“Roselynn!” Shane exclaimed, suddenly serious. He completely forgot about
his embarrassment and sprinted toward the figures. He couldn’t believe his
eyes–he had actually found her.
“Shane, wait!” Sonia called out, but she couldn’t keep up with him.
“Roselynn! Roselynn!” Shane shouted, running toward her.
Gwain and his two companions immediately became suspicious. Hank

glanced at Gwain, silently asking if they should knock Roselynn out, but Gwain
shook his head. Not yet.
“Roselynn! What are you doing here?” Shane rushed to her side, grabbing her
arm. “Manny’s been looking everywhere for you. Come on, let’s go find him!”
Roselynn wanted nothing more than to go with Shane, but before they could
move, Hank and Wyatt stepped in front of them, blocking their path.
“Hey, fatso, are you blind? Do we dead to you?” Hank snarled.
“Uh, who are you guys?” Shane asked, stepping protectively in front of
Roselynn. “Roselynn, do you know them?”
Roselynn hesitated. She desperately wanted to escape, but she knew that
without Emmanuel, Shane stood no chance of saving her from these men.
