The living room was deathly silent; you could even hear people breathing. Everyone waited nervously for a response from the other end of the line. Jasmine Faulkner had a malicious thought: 'Wouldn't it be great if Ethan Thompson just dealt with Seraphina Sterling directly? It would save me the effort!'
"You win!" Ethan Thompson hung up the phone, fuming. The Thompson Family wouldn't be afraid of the Sterling Family alone, but the Grant Family's Demon King of Chaos was not someone to be trifled with. He had only given Seraphina Sterling a bit of trouble during military training, and Terrence Grant had retaliated almost immediately, sending him straight to the hospital. If Seraphina really went up against the Thompson Family, it would be strange if Terrence Grant *didn't* step in to help! The Sterling Family was already a force to be reckoned with. If you added the Grant Family to the mix, even the Thompsons would come out worse for wear.
