At that moment, Keegan's true colors were completely exposed. "You have to be obedient. If you dare to disobey us, we will leave you in this cave! We'll let the wolves come out to take you away! Are you afraid of pain?" Keegan looked at Aino fiercely.
Aino's tears immediately gushed down her cheeks. Immediately after that, she pursed her lips and burst out crying. "I want my dad. I want my mom. I want to go home." She sobbed.
"No crying! Caelus shouted angrily!
Aino was so frightened that she immediately did not dare to cry anymore. She pursed her lips and looked at the men in front of her while tears streamed down her cheeks. She held back her tears so much that she was trembling all over.
"Don't frighten her. She is such a small child. If something bad were to happen to her after she was frightened, with Sebastian's power in the South City now, he would skin us alive. The purpose we took the child was to negotiate with Sebastian." The eldest brother, Keegan, was still slightly calmer, after all.
Shortly after, he looked at Aino. "Don't cry, little one. I will not hit you. I just had a little conflict with your father. If your father is willing to listen to me, I will release you unharmed. Tell me, does your father love you?"
Aino nodded her head with all her might. " He does. He loves me the most. If you let me go, my dad will certainly be willing to give the entire company to you. My dad will certainly be willing to do so."
"Excellent! You're the best! I like you very much. You're very obedient!"
Aino nodded her head with all her might again. "I certainly will be very, very obedient!"
"Then, shall we give your father a call now? " asked Keegan.
"Alright." Aino nodded.
Keegan took out her phone and dialed a set of numbers.
On the other end, Sebastian, who was so occupied that he did not even have the time to take a sip of water, still had no clue that his daughter had already been abducted by Keegan and his brothers. He did not even notice that the three men were not even kneeling outside the entrance. That was because he was indeed too busy that day.
The funeral in the Shaw family was different from the funeral in the Ford family. The majority of the people who had a relationship with the Ford family were from the business world. However, it was different for the Shaw family. Just the disciples and subordinates of Old Master Shaw alone were spread across the entire country. The number of people was so great that it was beyond imaginable.
That was the day that Old Master Shaw had been cremated and his ashes were brought home. The ceremony to place his urn in the memorial place was absolutely necessary. That was the reason Sebastian was unable to entertain the guests at the entrance. However, the guests who were supposed to come were already there. Many people crowded the huge courtyard of the Shaw Residence and it appeared to be a sea of darkness. Everyone was mourning silently. Sebastian had conducted the funeral in an orderly fashion. Marcus, as well as his parents, were very thankful for Sebastian.
After the wake, many people have returned to the hotel they were staying at as they quietly wait to attend the burial of the Old Master Shaw. After waves and waves of people were sent off, the Shaw Residence was finally a lot quieter.
At that moment, Marcus' parents came to Sebastian and looked at him with immense gratitude. "Sebastian, it’s fortunate that you're here for the Old Master Shaw's funeral. If it weren't for you, our family would truly be in a hot mess. As the son of the Shaw family, I have to be by the old man's memorial place to observe mourning. It’s the same for your mother-in-law as well. However, those three sons of mine, to be honest, were truly jerks. Sebastian, I have to trouble you to forgive the three of them. They don't seem so bad. The main thing is that the three of them had gotten used to living abroad since childhood, so they have gradually gotten more distant from the people on our end. They have lost the family connection.
Unlike Marcus, who had gone through so much trouble before finding their aunt, often kept their aunt accompanied after finding her, and formed a mother-son-like bond with their aunt after a few years.
They did not have any of that. Once they returned, they saw their aunt, Sabrina, and Yvonne had popped up in the house."
