Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 981

"Let me tell you the truth, Mr. Poole, about just how many years I've been waiting for those weapons of yours. Based on my personal financial capabilities, to actually purchase those weapons with my own money would be far too costly for me to bear, but now, I managed to obtain them without spending a penny! I have plotted for six whole years to set up this trip for you! And you just jumped right into it. I must say, I am extremely thankful, Uncle Axel!" 1

"Why you...!" Axel raised his arm abruptly, his eyes widened in anger as he stared daggers at Sebastian. H e wanted desperately to punch Sebastian's skull in, but his arm fell to his side helplessly. He couldn't unless he had a death wish, because Axel realized that he no longer had any leverage against Sebastian.

"Uncle Axel, if it weren't for you trying to harm me over and over again, how would I have succeeded in taking over one third of your weapons? You asked for this. Back in Kidon City, you were no match to Alex even when you had everything, not to mention after losing one third of your weapons. Uncle Axel, your reign is over. You wouldn't stand a chance against Alex, and you are no match to me! I am going to let you go this time, for Alex's sake!"

Axel wanted nothing more than to bury himself in a hole from the humiliation.

After saying what he had to say, Sebastian turned to his wife. "Aren't you tired, Sabrina? We have been here since we landed, let's go home."

Sabrina nodded. "Let's go home, hubby."

The couple strolled right past Axel and proceeded to exit the room, leaving him behind like he didn't exist. Just then, the waitress walked in with the bill and handed it to Axel.

"Sir, here's the bill."

"Scram!" Axel roared.

The waitress glared at Axel. "Hey, geezer! Are you going to leave without paying? This is a high-end venue and one private room costs over a thousand at the very least. Are you trying to scam us?"

"Scram or I will kill you!"

Startled, the waitress scrambled to run downstairs like she was being chased by a ghost. "Hurry, there's this rude old guy in the private room. He refused to pay and told me to go away. I told him off and he said he is going to kill me."

Axel watched wordlessly. He had been blinded by his fury for a moment just now. But even if the private room had nothing to do with him, the bill should have been settled by Sebastian, the old Master Shaw or his granddaughter. He knew that if he refused to pay, he wouldn't be able to leave. Moreover, he would become the laughing stock for everyone. At that moment, his eyes were reddened from the anger burning within him. He rushed over to the reception, apologized and settled the bill, before running out after Sebastian. He wanted to catch Sebastian before he left and get him t o pay for the bill!

Once Axel was out the door, he saw a car parked right outside the clubhouse's gates. He knew that car. It belonged to his nephew Alex. Alex had become the one and only boss in Kidon City, with power much more formidable compared to his father when he was young. Naturally, that meant Alex's fame had surpassed that of his uncle.

Two people came out of the car leisurely and it was indeed Alex, and the woman who followed him everywhere, Jane. Jane ran towards Sabrina as soon a s her feet touched the ground, before stopping to check on her from head to toe. The two were so close that their interaction was almost identical to that between sisters.

Tears welled up in Jane's eyes. "Sabrina, I couldn't reach you for the past two weeks. I was so worried. I called you the night you arrived on Star Island but your phone had been switched off and it remained that way the entire time. Is...is everything okay on the island? Where is Aino? Why don't I see her anywhere?"

Just as the last word was spoken, someone bumped into her from the back. Jane turned around and was immediately startled. "Ah...! Wh-what is this?" she screamed.
