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
With Gavin's help, Sebastian would no longer have to worry.As he had expected, Rosalie had only just sent the message when her phone vibrated with a reply. The message simply read, "I'm here."Rosalie showed the phone to Sebastian, and he nodded, chuckling.Tripp was incensed to see Rosalie and Sebastian flirting with each other. They clearly didn't respect him! How could they still act all lovey-dovey at a time like this?"Sebastian Ballard, I'm talking to you! Are you deaf?" Tripp roared angrily as he pointed at him.Sebastian smiled lightly. His gaze swept over the crowd until finally, at the 11 o'clock position, he spotted a very familiar face—Gavin."I'll tell you one last time. Get over here, kneel, and apologize! If you do, I'll spare your life." Sebastian grinned and pushed Rosalie toward Gavin. "Mr. Tirth, kill him for me!" Tripp yelled at Maximus as he pointed at Sebastian.Maximus began calmly doing the footwork for the Square Steps. When he reached the center of t
Maximus' eyes flickered, and he smiled at Sebastian as he said, "Young man, I admit defeat when it comes to your speed and technique."It's just a pity that I haven't met a worthy opponent over all these years. I was planning on going easy against you, but I didn't expect you to be afraid to fight in close quarters with me."Maximus pretended to look regretful, but in reality, he was just trying to force Sebastian to fight with him in close quarters. All Warriors either practiced external and inner strength or technique. Sebastian was so good at his technique that he was as fast as lightning. That meant that he was probably very weak in his external and inner strength.However, that was just an assumption on Maximus' part. Sebastian had actually never practiced any techniques. The only thing he knew was the Sacred Medicine Society's Seven Star Path, which he had happened to see once and had remembered since then. Sebastian chuckled and stood still. He said to Maximus, "Old man
Tripp immediately understood Maximus. He looked meaningfully at the subordinates beside him.His subordinates were about to move when an icy bolt of light flashed in front of them. Right after that, four heads fell to the floor. Tripp had seen many things in his time and had weathered many storms, but he had never seen people being killed as easily as if they were vegetables! Cold sweat trickled down his forehead at once. "Maximus, you're the most shameless person I've ever met," Gavin said as he walked out of the crowd and fixed a cold gaze on him.When he heard the icy voice calling out his name, Maximus frowned and looked up in Gavin's direction. When he saw Gavin's face clearly, his pupils constricted, and he wet himself in fear. His snow-white pants were immediately stained yellow, and the onlookers burst into laughter at once. "Oh my! How can he wet himself at the drop of a hat at his age?" "I think he'd better go back to diapers before coming again.""The next time
Tripp fell to his knees. Between pride and his life, Tripp chose to live.Pride was important, but what use would pride be if he lost his life?Sebastian slapped Tripp in the face and said loudly to everyone in the hall, "Is this what the upper class is like?" Although there wasn't much force behind his slap, Tripp felt like crying from the indignity of being slapped in front of hundreds of people. Sebastian slapped Tripp again and smiled, saying, "Someone with status?"He slapped him four times consecutively, and Tripp felt his ears ringing. "Tell me where your status is! If you're so important, why are you kneeling on the floor?" Sebastian narrowed his eyes at Tripp.Tripp hung his head and dared not say a word. He could feel the murderous energy emanating from Sebastian. Jeremiah's torn arm lay a mere four feet or so away from him, as if reminding him not to be impulsive or to resist. Otherwise, he would end up worse off than Jeremiah."You. Get me a rope." Sebastian po
As Jeremiah howled, Sebastian grinned at Tripp and said, "Mr. Gibson, I have no grudge against you. Why did you make me grovel in apology to you without even asking what had happened?"Tripp had no answer.In the beginning, he also felt that Jeremiah had gone too far, but he had been contemptuous of Sebastian upon hearing that he didn't come from a prestigious background. He felt that it was nothing to ask someone like Sebastian to grovel because Sebastian had no status, influence, or powerful allies.However, Jeremiah was an influential person. If his pride was hurt, he could even back out of the Sunway Chamber of Commerce. That was why Tripp had made such a rash decision.However, he didn't dare to say a word of this to Sebastian. "As for you, show me the sword that you used just now!" Sebastian pointed at Maximus.Maximus' eyes twitched, and he trembled as he unfastened the sword from around his waist. The moment Sebastian took the sword, Maximus felt a sharp pain in his
Tripp was no longer in any mood for a banquet. He had to find out about Sebastian's background as quickly as possible so that he could pay him back for what he had done.Maximus walked out of the hall behind Tripp.Micah had only just come back, and he frowned slightly when he saw that the hall was quiet and that there were bloodstains on the floor. He wanted to ask about what had happened, but he resisted the urge to do so in the end. The crowd in the hall dispersed very quickly. They had all been humiliated by what had happened that day, and no one was in any mood to eat. When Micah saw that only a few people were left in the event hall, he left with Melissa as well.…After getting into the car, Rosalie glanced at Gavin and said, "Thank you."Rosalie knew very well that she would have fallen into Tripp's hands if it hadn't been for Gavin's intervention. Gavin only smiled slightly and turned to Sebastian in the back seat. He said, "Can the two of you not draw so much att
