"Of course," Sebastian replied.
"And yet, what have you done to my daughter Emma half a year ago? She is my blood!" Axel roared. "But still I didn't come looking for trouble for how cruel you were to her, while you continue your ruthless way with me over and over again!"
"If I may ask, when have I ever been ruthless to you, Uncle Axel?" Sebastian questioned coldly.
Axel was laughing incredulously at this point. "When? All those weapons on Star Island ended up in your hands. Is there anyone else in the world that could surpass your ability to take advantage of the situation? Those weapons belong to me, Axel Poole! Mine! I was the one who invested those on Star Island, shouldn't you return them to me?"
Axel had bet everything on supporting Star Island. Though he was helping the old Master Shaw, his main purpose had been to take revenge in his daughter's place and completely wipe Sebastian out on the island. Never had he imagined that Sebastian had been setting up a trap for him to walk right in. How could he not be furious, how could he not hate the man?
"I'm sorry, Uncle Axel, but what did your daughter do half a year ago in South City?" Sebastian's tone remained calm.
"She is all grown up now. How would I know why she went to South City?"
"Very well! You said you have no idea what Emma did i n South City, then let me tell you! She came here to ruin my wife! She gathered countless wealthy women t o ambush my wife, and even manipulated my wife's colleague into hitting my wife with shoes to humiliate her! Uncle Axel, do you hold any personal grudge against me? Or is it Emma who had a grudge against me?"
Axel did not respond.
Sebastian sneered. "No explanation?"
