Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 85 If You Continue, I'll Throw You Into The Woods To Be Food For Wild Beasts.

Lela didn't even glance at Josh Fudge, instead, she held Sylvester's hand and lowered her eyes, lost in her thoughts. Sylvester rarely appeared in public.

Other than his involvement with the Flame Dragon, he mostly dealt with trivial matters through his subordinates. Each time he made an appearance, it sparked speculation.

The people in the stands observed the individual personally greeted by Josh Fudge and exchanged whispers, "Who could that be? Such an elaborate welcome from Mr. Tang; they must hold significant importance." "I'm not sure know, but he must be someone noteworthy, given since he's the heir of the Gomez family in Central City."

Some residents of Central City knew of Sylvester and explained, "That's the young master of the Gomez family. He's definitely someone important."

Someone gossiped, "Hey! I heard Raymond from the Gomez family died. They said he died in Ironfist Holding Center, I wonder if it's true."

"Died in Ironfist Holding Center? In the hands of their own people!" was the reply, laced with a meaningful tone.

"When did it happen? I haven't heard of a funeral. Could it be..."

This gossip continued until Trenton Salazar shot a cold glance, silencing them.

"Everyone, we are all intelligent and should know what to say and what not to say. I don't think I need to make it any clearer." "Yes, yes, Mr. Jiang is right."

"We tend to talk too much; we brought it upon ourselves to be scolded." they admitted.

The discussion came to an end.

Trenton Salazar shifted his gaze and walked with Burl Cain and Goy Gomez towards Sylvester.

Sylvester led Lela as they made their way to the stands, with Josh Fudge following closely behind, occasionally glancing at Lela.

"Master Sylvester, little Lela, you finally made it."

Lela smiled at the group but didn't say anything.

As they reached the stands, which were farther away from the woods, Lela's discomfort eased slightly, although not as much as when they first entered the forest.

Sylvester held Lela's hand tightly, not allowing her to move away from his side.

Burl Cain noticed Lela's pale face and jokingly remarked, "Lela, why do you appear so disinterested? Did the roar of the fierce beasts scare you on the way here? I just saw Master Sylvester carrying you. Are you really that timid?"

Lela looked up at him, a sly smile on her face. "Not quite."

Burl Cain was taken aback by her response. "Wow, so you can talk after all?"

Why was she pretending to be mute before?

Trenton Salazar and Goy Gomez looked at Lela with surprise, their expressions filled with astonishment.

Feeling deceived, Burl Cain pouted. "You're not well-behaved. How daring of you to deceive your brother."

Sylvester stood beside them and swiftly kicked Burl Cain, causing him to almost fall off the stands.

Josh Fudge quickly caught Burl Cain, preventing him from tumbling down.

Smiling, Josh Fudge asked, "Mr. Cain, are you alright?"

Burl Cain pushed Josh Fudge away and glanced at the others, his face losing its dignity.

He rubbed his butt silently, mumbling, "Master Sylvester, you are overly protective of little Lela. You don't leave me any face." After all, he was a future pillar of the family, the CEO of several companies.

Some of the top beauties in the entertainment industry were signed under his agency.

With a multitude of eyes watching, because he remarked that Lela was timid?

He lamented the disregard of friendship for desire.

Hearing this, Sylvester coldly glanced at him. "If I don't protect my own, who will I protect? You talk too much. If you continue, I'll throw you into the woods as prey for the beasts." Burl Cain: "..."

Trenton Salazar and Goy Gomez chuckled to themselves. "Deserved."

Lela laughed, "I never said I couldn't talk."

Trenton Salazar and Burl Cain recollected the scene with Ziyuan and realized they had misunderstood.

They had jumped to conclusions.

The group of magnates walked towards the most prestigious seats in the stands.

Since Sylvester hadn't arrived yet, Josh Fudge naturally took the lead. After all, it was his plan, and he was a well-known billionaire on the Forbes list. People were willing to give him face. When Sylvester arrived, everything changed.
