"Yes, Miss Garcia was wonderful. She was like a pure flower -simple and naive without any malice in her. She was

my boss' motivation to survive. Eventually, he gained enough power to leave the small fishing village, but he

suppressed his talent and capabilities just so he could be with her. He stayed in that tiny village and became a

humble fisherman..."

"What happened afterwards? Where did she go? Why didn't my brother mention her?" Renee had so many

questions.

"After that..." Chase frowned and murmured, "That wicked brother of hers bullied her, so my boss beat him up and

ran away with Miss Garcia. I was a rebel too back then, so I

went with them. We were just broke kids at the time, so we decided to go to the chaotic Water Dock to survive. We

then risked our lives to establish Carmine Pawnshop."

"Quinton really is amazing... All of you were." Renee could not imagine how three penniless youths established

Carmine Pawnshop in that land of chaos. It was the border of three countries, and was full of savage people.

Only they knew the pain and hardships they had to endure.

"Miss Garcia and I were ordinary, but your brother was something else. He was handsome and charming, and even

though we had nothing, he managed to secure a whole lot of orders, especially ones from female customers. Soon,

Carmine Pawnshop grew by leaps and bounds, and his reputation as the Night Demon also grew..."

Chase smiled sadly at the memory. "At that time, Joanne was our princess, and as her knights, we protected her

from the evil in the world. She enjoyed a pampered life without learning the ways of the world, and maybe that was

what gave a villain the chance to use her."

"Villain... Who was that?" Renee had a name in mind, but she prayed and hoped that it wasn't the case.

"Miss Everheart, you're not stupid. I'm sure you can guess who it was..." Chase grimaced as he was forced to recall

that unfortunate memory. "That year, Carmine Pawnshop was at the peak of its glory, but at some point, it butted

heads with the Hunt family's industrial chain. Stefan had just taken over some of his family's properties at that time,

so he saw Carmine Pawnshop as a way to prove himself. Both parties fought each other for many years, but it was

neck and neck...

"The Hunt family did well in legitimate businesses, but they weren't used to underground dealings. They couldn't

fight my boss since he was more experienced in that area, and he had been overtaking them the whole time, but

the situation soon changed... thanks to the cunning Stefan. He found my boss' weakness-Miss Garcia, an innocent

and gullible young woman. He approached her and bewitched her until she betrayed my boss."

Chase clenched his fists tightly, his lip curling in anger." Initially, my boss had the upper hand during the great battle

at sea that year, but Miss Garcia stabbed my boss to protect Stefan before Stefan slashed his face. Desperate and

downcast, he jumped into the sea, and Miss Garcia went missing after that..."

"What?" Renee was dumbfounded, and couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Is Stefan... really that cunning and

wicked?
