Chapter 420

As Sienna turned her head, Zachariah loaded the gun.

He shoved the gun back into Sienna's hand, holding her hand up with the barrel aimed at his own chest. "I have one request: get the people out of the building."

"Are you out of your mind?" Sienna's eyes were cold. "Let go of me!"

Zachariah ignored her, gripping her hand tightly. "We need to hurry!"

Even Sienna didn't expect him to pull the trigger without hesitation.

She was stunned by his speed, only managing to jerk her wrist away at the last second. She hadn't realized how strong and determined Zachariah was.

The gunshot echoed through the manor, alerting everyone inside.

Simon and two unfamiliar faces were the first to rush in. Before they entered, Sienna quickly adjusted, pretending she was the one holding the gun.

Simon locked eyes with Sienna and barked, "What are you standing around for? Help him!"

The two strangers immediately ran over and carried Zachariah out.

"Hit me," Sienna mouthed silently.

Simon hesitated, worried about her strength, but he had no choice. Sienna had already steeled herself and threw the first punch.

They fought from the room into the hallway, where Finnian arrived, his face darkening at the commotion. "Enough!"

Sienna didn't care. She shoved Simon aside and, before anyone could react, turned and lunged at Finnian.

Simon realized her intent and stumbled, deliberately falling to the ground.

Sienna grabbed Finnian by the throat and pushed him back, his waist hitting the railing, his upper body hanging precariously over the edge.

The two mercenaries beside Finnian were caught off guard, not expecting Sienna to attack him now.

They were a step too slow. With Finnian's life in Sienna's hands, they could only draw their guns, unable to make any effective move.

Sienna tightened her grip, Finnian's face turning red, his eyes bulging.

"Are you scared? Do you feel pain? You should taste death!"

With each word, Sienna pressed harder on Finnian's throat, the sensation of hanging in the air and suffocating making him realize she might actually kill him.

"If Kelvin dies, I'll make sure you suffer a thousand times more!"

Sienna's fury was evident in every word. "Whether it's mutual destruction or a fight to the death, I don't mind either!"

At that moment, Simon stood up and approached, placing a hand on Sienna's shoulder.

Sienna instinctively wanted to strike him, but held back when she saw it was Simon.

Simon spoke, "No matter what, we're allies now, Sienna. You still have the same ruthlessness as us."

Sienna's grip on Finnian's throat suddenly loosened.

Finnian gasped for air, breathing deeply.

Simon continued, "For my sake, don't hurt him."

He pulled Sienna away, and the two mercenaries immediately came to Finnian's aid. But Sienna's actions had already challenged his authority. As soon as he regained his breath, he angrily ordered, "Sun, you've gone too far! You need to be taught a lesson!"

He pointed, and the two mercenaries charged at Sienna.

At that instant, Simon wanted to protect her, but Sienna pushed him aside and rushed forward. "If you want to use me, don't piss me off. You better treat me right. If you make me uncomfortable, you'll regret it!"

Simon understood. From the moment Zachariah's incident happened, Sienna had a plan.

First, she wanted Finnian to see her strength—a person who had been 'punished' last night and recently underwent experiments, yet recovered quickly. Second, she wanted to test the mercenaries' capabilities.

Finnian soon realized that the people he had paid handsomely for were no match for Sienna.

In the confined space, Sienna unleashed her fury without restraint, while the mercenaries who had been strutting around the manor for the past few days now avoided Finnian's gaze.

"How many people do you have left in this manor?" Sienna mocked. "Are these worthless fools worth keeping around?"

"Sun, don't go too far," Simon stepped forward. "He at least saved your life."

"I've already repaid that debt, Simon. If it weren't for our past, do you think I wouldn't kill him today?"

"Then for my sake," Simon said. "Sienna, you owe me your life."

Simon grabbed her wrist, pulling her close. Their eyes met, and Simon said, "Kelvin is your lover, but what has he done for you? I was your family, spending every day with you. I risked my life for you, and now you want to destroy my home for a man you've only known briefly?"

"What kind of home is this?" Sienna spat.

"Whether I like it or not, I'm part of it now. If you kill someone, there's no going back to the world you want."

Simon paused. "Why make things worse?"

Sienna gritted her teeth, glaring at him. "So what?"

"We're family," Simon said, leading her back to the room. "Come with me."

Sienna stared at him coldly, her eyes full of anger.

Simon turned to Finnian for his opinion.

Finnian was furious, but Simon's words had shaken him.

Considering Sienna's future usefulness, he reluctantly nodded.

Simon led Sienna into his room.

As the door closed, Sienna slid down, exhausted.

Simon knelt beside her, checking for injuries.

Sienna chuckled softly. "Didn't expect acting to be more tiring than fighting. I'm fine. How's Zachariah?"

Simon helped her up and into the bedroom, giving her water and medicine. "This medicine works well, but don't take too much. Don't be so impulsive next time. I'll check on Zachariah later."

Sienna nodded, relaxing. "I never thought he'd use his life as bait to help us."

"Finnian agreed to let him see Sloane today. He made her favorite breakfast this morning and went to see her."
