"I have no intention of harming you or any members of House von Conradie. I want Olga. Give her to me, and you can carry on with your life as if you've never met either one of us,"

"Never!" The man barked.

"You shall neither pursue her nor subject her to further threats," Egon declared firmly when Olga whimpered.
"I am not going anywhere until I have her. Release her at once!" the man grumbled defiantly.
"You attempted to take her life. What kind of a father are you?" Egon questioned, his tone dripping with disgust.
