"Don't say I didn't warn you, sir," Ralph huffed coldly. There was an icy flash in his eyes as he waved at the Grandmaster experts beside him.Jeremiah looked triumphant and crossed his arms over his chest, looking scornfully at Sebastian. He was looking forward to watching the show.There was a cold gleam in Sebastian's eyes as his gaze swept over the security guards, Jeremiah, and Jeremiah's bodyguards. "Are you sure you won't regret it?" Ralph scoffed and reached to grab Sebastian's collar.He expected Sebastian to only struggle for a while before submitting at once. He thought he could take Sebastian down easily with just a single move.However, before he touched Sebastian's collar, he felt as if a speeding train had crashed into his chest, and he found himself flying backward helplessly. As Ralph was sent flying, a trail of blood flew through the air behind him. He slammed against a stone pillar before falling heavily to the ground. He had been knocked out cold.When the
"Mr. Gibson, bad news! Our security team got beaten up, and there's a young lady being held hostage!" a security guard in a black suit said to Tripp Gibson, who was sitting in the center of the room.Tripp put down the document he was holding and frowned slightly as he said, "Who would be bold enough to make a fuss at my banquet?"The security guard explained to Tripp about what had happened. After listening, he slammed the table.His temper had improved greatly over the past few years, and many people had forgotten that he wasn't just a businessman; he was also an extremely ruthless man."Who are the people who started this conflict? Have you checked?" Tripp asked grimly."Yes. One of them is Jeremiah Manson, the CEO of New World Media. The other is named Ballard. I heard that he's a consultant of Arctic Snow Group in Steinberg. He probably doesn't come from a prestigious background," the guard answered quickly.At the mention of Sebastian, a young man sitting beside Tripp scoff
"Whitney, I won't pursue this further for Mr. Ryder's sake. However, how can you defend your ex-husband in front of me? Isn't that disrespectful to me as your fiancé?" Jayden asked menacingly.Whitney's pretty face turned frosty. She retorted icily, "Jayden, did I ever agree to marry you? Who are you calling your fiancée? Please show some respect!"Jayden laughed coldly and said, "Ms. Sutton, don't forget that you'd have been kicked out of Frostwave Corporation by now if your mother hadn't agreed to our marriage. Even your current position as vice CEO is only secure because of the influence of my family."Whitney was stunned.Just a day ago, Edna had personally decided to make Ryder the CEO of Frostwave Corporation. As for Whitney, all she would get was an inconsequential position.Things at Frostwave Corporation had turned upside down overnight, and there were mixed feelings about it in the Sutton family.Those led by Morty had all taken Ryder's side at once, and they had immedi
For the past ten years or so, Tripp had slowly faded out of the public eye. He very rarely took part in the conflicts of the underworld, and the various social circles in Sunway had almost forgotten his existence.The truth was that Tripp had used the past ten years or so to legalize all his businesses. He had transformed himself into the chairman of Gibson Group.Despite this, the crowd still gasped at the sound of his name. They were also worried for Sebastian.If Sebastian had only offended someone from the business world, like the Stallones or Jeremiah, the most they could do would be to beat him up. However, Tripp was different. He wouldn't hesitate to murder!"Hmph! Ballard, how dare you disrespect Mr. Gibson? I think you must be tired of life! Kill him!" Jeremiah roared ferociously at his bodyguards. The bodyguards grinned viciously and raised their daggers to stab Sebastian in the chest. They assumed that Sebastian wouldn't dare to resist, as Rosalie was still being held
However, no matter how much Jeremiah struggled, he couldn't get out of Sebastian's vise-like grip.The bodyguards beside him were prostrate on the floor in terror, too frightened to even move."I always keep my word," Sebastian said. He flung Jeremiah heavily down to the floor.There was a crisp snap as Jeremiah's left leg broke, and a shard of bone pierced through his pants.Jeremiah clutched at his throat, coughing violently. He began squealing like a pig being slaughtered, and he held onto his broken left leg as he curled up on the floor.Sebastian approached him murderously and pulled up one of his arms. He stepped on his shoulder and said coldly, "The upper class? You think you're so important and better than everyone else?"As Sebastian spoke, he tore Jeremiah's arm off his body and flung it into the air."Aargh!" The onlookers screamed in horror.Jeremiah had gone pale with pain. He held his empty sleeve as blood spurted into the air like a fountain. "M-Mr. Ballard… I
"Ballard, you have crossed the line. How dare you beat up Mr. Gibson's men! Mr. Gibson was being generous when he told you to apologize, but you not only disrespected him, you even crippled that man! "People like you shouldn't be allowed to continue living in this world!" Jayden growled angrily through gritted teeth. He glared menacingly at Sebastian.A moment ago, Jayden had been worrying that Sebastian would do as Tripp had commanded, which would mean that he would have no chance of getting his revenge.When he walked into the hall, he discovered that Sebastian had ignored Tripp's order and had even maimed Jeremiah on the spot.This was an excellent opportunity for Jayden to kick Sebastian while he was down. He wouldn't miss it for the world!Ryder looked coldly at Sebastian and turned to Whitney. He said, "Do you see that? That's the husband that old idiot chose for you back then! I can't believe that you had the audacity to speak up for him!""Forget it, Mr.Sutton. Let's go.
Tripp narrowed his eyes and stared fixedly at Sebastian. He looked sinister as he said, "Young man, I already gave you a way out. If you insist on behaving this way, you'll be showing me disrespect.""Oh, you must be Mr. Gibson!" Sebastian smiled sunnily as he glanced at Tripp.Tripp continued staring silently at Sebastian.Sebastian was clearly challenging his authority. He was humiliating Tripp in front of so many of the rich and famous in Sunway."Mr. Gibson came right on time." Sebastian's smile froze all of a sudden, and he said coldly, "Why didn't you come out just now when his bodyguards wanted to kill me? Why didn't you come out to stop them? What were you doing when he was holding my girlfriend hostage at knifepoint?"Both Rosalie and Whitney were in shock to hear him mention the word "girlfriend".Rosalie was shocked but delighted. Meanwhile, Whitney backed away, looking dazed. Had Sebastian made things official with Rosalie already?As Whitney backed away, she shook
Whitney ran out of the hall, crying. Tripp glanced at her as she ran off and smiled disdainfully. "I think you should take Ms. Sutton's advice. Have you looked in the mirror? Who do you think you are?"At the very least, Mr. Manson is the CEO of a media company. Everyone else here has status and influence. If you hadn't been impolite, why would they have made things difficult for you?"Sebastian laughed out of sheer anger. He pointed at Jeremiah and said, "Ask him why I hit him! According to your logic, if I flirted with your wife to your face, you should be thanking me for stopping her from being lonely!"As soon as Sebastian finished speaking, there was a roar of laughter in the hall.Tripp's face turned white, then red, as he glared angrily at Sebastian. He was shaking with anger. No one had dared to take that tone with him in over 20 years. Sebastian had successfully provoked Tripp!However, Tripp didn't dare to walk over to him.Jeremiah was living proof. Even if Tripp w
