“Really?” Hannah retorted with a smile, “Didn’t Mrs. Compton assign you to look after me? If anything happens to me, wouldn’t you be the first in trouble?”
This remark visibly irked Lorenzo. “You’re quite stubbor Winston, unable to contain himself, stormed over and seized Lorenzo by the collar. “Tell me you didn’t bring my sister, did you?”
Seeing how angry Winston was, Lorenzo’s mood lifted. He playfully swatted away Winston’s hand, tidied up his outfit, and remarked, “No one can disobey Mrs. Compton’s order.”
He gave Winston a reassuring pat on the shoulder and remarked, “Relax.
Let your sister and the other girls take good care of our guests; it’ll make our negotiations run more smoothly.”
“You!” Winston’s eyes widened, and he lifted his hand, poised for action!
But at that moment, Lorenzo’s men aimed their guns at Winston!
The air crackled with tension!
From inside the car, Hannah glared icily at Lorenzo. “What’s this? A feud right outside the Compton’s doorstep?”
Unfazed by her, Lorenzo retorted with a raised brow, looking at Hannah in the car, “He started it, not me.”
After a tense stare-down, Hannah instructed Winston outside, “Get back in the car.”
With eyes blazing, Winston clenched his jaw, lowered his hand, and returned to his car.
With the idea that he had subdued Hannah’s presence, Lorenzo’s confidence surged, and he flashed a smug smile. “You got it, Miss Moore. You’re well-versed in the game plan. Without our shield, surviving the underground city might have been a dicey proposition for you.”
“Enough with the nonsense!” Hannah responded coolly. “I don’t resort to involving women in negotiations. Let the girls in your van go.”

Lorenzo, scoffing at her demand, sneered, “Are you joking? Do you really think…”
In the midst of his words, a gun abruptly pointed at him.
Lorenzo’s expression shifted, and his eyes locked onto Hannah, who had her gun pointed right at him. He began to say, “You…”
A sly smile formed on Hannah’s face as she said, “Will you release them, or not?”
“I serve Mrs. Compton. If you dare to shoot me here…” Lorenzo stood firm, unconvinced that Hannah would act decisively.
With a calm demeanor, Hannah responded, “Do you truly believe I won’t act because of Amelie? I have no desire to harm anyone, and I’m not inclined to act now. But if you push me, I won’t hesitate to take a life here.”
As soon as he grasped that Hannah had the audacity to act, Lorenzo’s expression swiftly shifted, and he raised his hand to signal the people behind him.
In an instant, those people dashed back, swung the door wide, and the young ladies in the van quickly streamed out one by one.
Hannah instructed Winston, “Go and fetch your sister now.”
A slender and attractive girl, wearing fancy yet provocative clothes that seemed out of place on her, hurried towards Winston.
