As easy as fastening a button.
Selene and her parents were all scared silly. In the near distance, Harry Payne and his wife were equally terrified.
Surprisingly, Minerva was the more courageous one out of them. She kept her wits with her and even looked at Sebastian with slight admiration. She muttered softly under her breath, "When my Uncle Holden controlled the island, he was so vicious and decisive too."
Minerva glanced at Aino and said softly, "Hey my little follower, your dad is very similar to Uncle Holden."
"Uncle Holden?" Aino asked.
Although Aino was a proud and almost arrogant little girl, she willingly answered an ugly girl like Minerva who called her as her little follower. Aino thought it was an honor to be the follower of a girl who was more than ten years older than her.
"My Uncle Holden!" Minerva rolled her eyes at Aino, "H e loved you like you were his own daughter! He found me disgusting, but the moment he saw you, he coddled you like you were his little treasure, ha!"
Aino laughed, "Oh...your Uncle Holden is the same Uncle Holden as my Uncle Holden."
Minerva was silent.
The little girl blinked innocently, "Alright, alright. I'll compensate you. I would you like to visit me in South City."
Minerva said, "...You...what did you say?"
Her entire family was currently prisoners of war.
Besides, the Payne family was not the rightful owner o f the island. The rightful owner had returned. It was time for them to pay the price. 1
Minerva felt like she had grown up overnight, but she was naturally bold and fearless. She looked at Sebastian calmly, "Hey! You are very similar to my Uncle Holden, I keep mistaking you for him, but I know you are more powerful than he is. That's why it i s only a matter of time before we fall into your hands. I f you want to kill or torture us, go ahead. However, can you please make it fast? It is a torment to wait for death like this."
The moment the words left her mouth, her father kicked her, "You little brat! What are you saying? Master Sebastian didn't say he was going to kill us."
Minerva looked at him in disdain, 'Dad... face reality, please!”
The moment she spoke, she heard Sebastian say, "I’ll bring you with me to South City. Which school do you want to enroll in?"
