"I had never wanted to harm her. I had no choice either. If I hadn't used Minerva to blackmail you, if I hadn't chopped off one of her fingers to threaten you, it would be impossible for my boss and me to leave South City alive. It was an action taken out of desperation. However, you have seen it as well. Minerva is considered to be unharmed in the end."
"Unharmed? Unharmed? Are you even fucking human? What is this nonsense you speak of? She was abducted and treated by you for three days. How could you make up for her emotional abuse?"
"Yes! You're right. On some level, Minerva is unharmed! However, one of her fingers was indeed cut off by you! That kind of pain, shock, and endless fear was real. wasn't it?
"She was just a young girl in her early twenties. She was abducted by you for nothing and one of her fingers was chopped off. You then reattached the finger and sent her back, and you said she is unharmed?"
"Eldon, thank you. You didn't let Minerva die, so I should thank you right now. Is that it?" Nigel questioned Eldon while grabbing his collar and shaking him crazily.
Sebastian, on the other hand, was still very calm.
Nigel was tearing Eldon up with great fury, but Eldon was not afraid at all.
However, Eldon was afraid of Sebastian's calmness.
He knew, and he was able to figure it out. As long as Sebastian was able to find him, he certainly would be coming to take his life.
In fact, Eldon was not afraid of losing his life at all. He did not regret it either. The main thing was that he had people he cared about. He had begged Sebastian, but it was not because he was afraid of death. Instead, it was for the people he cared about.
Eldon looked at Sebastian calmly and said while still holding on to a ray of hope," Mister Ford, you had come a long way over the years. You had lived abroad in exile when you were a teenager. Then, you formed a mercenary team abroad. Later, you returned to your country and decided to fight against the entire Ford family for your mother. Throughout this entire process, in that kind of bloodbath, you have injured others, haven’t you? You probably had injured even more people back then than I did now, right?"
