Reborn to My Engagement Night Chapter 189 Being Teased
A twitch played at the corner of everyoneโs mouths upon hearing that.
Good heavens, of all the places you couldโve passed by, maโam, why would you choose to pan by such a godforsaken place? This is scaring the life out of me!
Behind Madelyn, Adelar and the others had long been astounded by her outrageous actions. In fact, they were already on the brink of total insanity when she pretended to be Morgana and had them disguised as her one-eyed subordinates earlier.
They found it truly preposterous that she would dare impersonate Morgana. But strangely, Madelynโs portrayal of Morgana was spot on. That overwhelming aura, bordering on the point of being absurd, was identical to that emanating from Grimo. Adelar and the others had no other option but to submit to her.
โWhy? Do you not welcome me?โ At that moment, she parted her red, thin lips and voiced out.
The leader of Hellfire Creed was instantly terrified, his legs giving out from fear. โHow could that be? Iโm more than happy to welcome you! I never expected you to come, so I apologize for my lack of hospitality. I hope you can forgive me.โ
As he spoke these words, he was trembling all over. He had invested heavily in this mission, both in resources and manpower. Following the gunfight earlier, many of his subordinates had either been killed or wounded, and that undoubtedly left him beyond furious.
Nevertheless, with her presence, he dared not let out his emotions, and despite knowing that she was talking nonsense, he could only force himself to play along. Oceanic Empire never gets involved in such minor matters. Ms. Morganaโs probably really just passing byโฆ.
Madelyn, however, was extremely aloof, paying no heed whatsoever.
In the end, the leader said, โMs. Morgana, I apologize for what happened today. If thereโs nothing else, weโll take our leave nowโฆโ
Having said that, he sent his subordinates to apprehend Sebastian and the others.
Sebastianโs face instantly darkened. He pointed his gun at the leaderโs forehead. โGo ahead and give it a try.โ
The leader immediately raised his gun as well. โMr. Lockhart, you only have a few with you right now. Iโd advise you not to overestimate your ability. Iโm curious to see if youโll be able to outrun our bullets!โ
โAt the very least, you wonโt have the chance to stay alive and talk to me.โ Sebastianโs gaze remained icy cold.
The two found themselves in a standoff once more.

Rage surged within her instantaneously.
โDid I give you permission to leave?โ Madelyn suddenly uttered.
The voice was chilling to the bone, almost as if it had echoed from the depths of hell. The members of Hellfire Creed shuddered violently and asked apprehensively. โWhat do you mean?โ
Madelyn laughed icily. โI overheard your negotiation just now.โ She paused and pointed at Sebastian. โIโve taken a liking to this man. Be it diamond mines, gold mines, or emerald mines, theyโre all his. Now, Iโll give you five minutes to get out of here. Otherwise, no one is leaving.โ
Her tone was incredibly domineering; the members of Hellfire Creed nearly had a heart attack hearing that.
This Morgana doesnโt hold back at all and is making excessive demands the moment sheโs here! And most importantly, she even wants to protect that Lockhart brat!
Sensing the situation was off, the leader of Hellfire Creed immediately said, โMs. Morgana, Iโm truly sorry, but we discovered the mine first. We canโt hand it over to themโฆโ
โThis is nonsense!โ Harriet suddenly let out a cold chuckle. โWe discovered this mine together. You just wanted to monopolize it.โ
โIs that so?โ Madelyn gave a chilling smile upon hearing those words.
Her smile nearly scared the life out of the leader!
Fortunately, he was quick-witted and immediately said, โMs. Morgana, if you still remember, our boss once had some connections with you. If you can help us get this diamond mine out of respect for our boss this time, weโll give you half of it!โ
Unexpectedly, the cold smirk on Madelynโs face intensified. โHalf? Hahโฆโ
That voice sent tremors through the leaderโs heart, and he quickly conceded, โNo, no. If you prefer, we can split it seventy-thirty, or even eighty-twenty if youโd like!โ
Even though he felt as if he was stabbed in the chest, he didnโt want to provoke her. But at the same time, he was reluctant to give up this mine as he had spent considerable time and energy on it, after all.
โIf it really comes to it, weโll split it ninety-ten. Would that work?โ Seeing how she was unwilling to compromise, the leader had no choice but to push his limits.
However, Madelyn had lost her patience. What she wanted was the entire mine, as well as Sebastian.
As such, she sneered coldly. โI gave you all a chance, but since you chose to feign ignorance, donโt blame me for being rude.โ
Madelynโs lips quirked up slightly, and she took a step back and commanded, โTake action.โ
Adelar nodded and stepped forward, brandishing his machine gun and unleashing a barrage toward the members of Hellfire Creed.

were knocked down before they could even fire a bullet.
In just a short while, Hellfire Creed suffered substantial casualties.
It was, in fact, also Madelynโs first time experiencing such a situation. At that moment, even though she was coldly watching from aside, her heart was already filled with fear and anxiety.
Luckily, the leader eventually admitted defeat and begged loudly while hiding behind a table, โMy Morgana, I was wrong! I was wrong! Please spare us! We will never set our eyes on this mine again.โ
Only then did Madelyn command with a wave of her hand, and almost immediately, the sound of gunfire ceased.
She revealed a satisfied laugh, still exuding an air of authority. โVery well. Since thatโs the case, you shall draft a transfer agreement. Relinquish these mines, then you may leave.โ
โSure! Iโll write it now.โ
The leader immediately crawled out and obediently wrote the transfer agreement.
After he was done, Madelyn then told them to get lost.
Madelyn held onto the transfer agreement and looked at Sebastian with great satisfaction.
Sebastian and his subordinates were all taken aback by her decisive and swift actions just now, leaving them feeling somewhat apprehensive.
Right then, unexpectedly, Madelyn steadily made her way toward Sebastian.
Sebastian was a man with a keen sense of timing. He knew that rather than squabbling with the Oceanic Empire over such trifle mineral resources, it would be wiser to earn some goodwill at this point. Essentially, these mines werenโt that significant to him.
So, he quickly said, โMs. Morgana, if the Oceanic Empire truly values these mines, Iโd be more than willing to give it up.โ
To his surprise, Madelyn burst into laughter.
Her fiery red lips curved into a smile, and she stopped before Sebastian and lifted his chin playfully. โNo, do you really think I care about these mines? I donโt want it. Compared to that, I like you more.โ
As soon as she finished speaking, Madelyn, seemingly on a whim, leaned in abruptly and planted a kiss on Sebastianโs lips.
In an instant, everyone was left utterly speechlessโฆ.
WโWhatโs going on here?
Sebastian, too, was taken aback.
Once he regained his composure, he immediately pushed Madelyn away with a serious expression and coldly uttered. โPlease respect yourself!โ
