Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 985

"Clap. Clap. Clap."

Sebastian applauded slowly as he stood up.

He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, his face displaying a twisted, genteel elegance. But the mania in his eyes was unrestrained. "Miss Lancaster truly values loyalty. You are exactly the kind of prey I desire."

"To brave this dragon's den all alone for a low-class nobody."

"Tell me, Miss Lancaster, do you genuinely believe I won't hurt you, or are you just fatally overconfident?"

Sebastian licked his lips in anticipation, his gaze locking onto her.

When his eyes traced the flawless curves of her face, his excitement spiked. "Should I praise your bravery, or laugh at your stupidity?"

Serena stood completely still before him.

She quickly assessed Lydia, confirming the girl was merely terrified and nursing some minor scrapes. Her heart settled.

As long as she was alive.

She then shifted her attention back to Sebastian. Her dark eyes remained cool, devoid of any panic. "Since I'm here."

"Let her go."

Her tone was flat, completely detached.

That chilling composure was entirely different from what Sebastian had expected to see.

This wasn't right!

This wasn't how it was supposed to play out!

She was supposed to be weeping, falling to her knees, begging and pleading for him to spare Lydia's life!

How could she remain so completely calm? So collected?

Sebastian gripped his knife tighter, pressing his tongue against the roof of his mouth as a sinister chuckle escaped him. "Let her go?"

"Did you fail to grasp the situation?"

"Right now, you are the one begging me! Not the other way around!"

His expression warped into a grotesque snarl as he spat every word. "I know you know how to fight, but you actually came alone? You should realize by now... this is a hunt designed specifically for you."
