Gavin smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Shields Senior doesn't just want me to learn skills and techniques from you. He also wants me to protect you. Therefore, apart from me, a few of the men from the security department stayed behind in Steinberg as well."He added, "As soon as you left Steinberg, I received news saying that Ryder and Jayden were also rushing to Sunway. I felt that it was too much of a coincidence, so I followed."Sebastian nodded slightly. He frowned and said, "You seem to know this place very well. You haven't been living here this entire time, have you?"Gavin chuckled and said, "What's wrong with me staying here? I can help Ms. Griffin watch over the security. It's killing two birds with one stone."As they conversed, a man in a suit walked quickly into the office and whispered a few words in Gavin's ear.Gavin nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Ballard, someone's causing trouble at the bar on the third floor. Three or four security guards were beaten up."A thug
Sebastian couldn't be sure about whether the three men were assassins sent by the Slaughter Gods. Through the incident with the truck, Sebastian had truly realized what indiscriminate assassination was.The three men didn't look easy to deal with, even if they weren't murderers sent by the Slaughter Gods.No one could fake that vicious light that they had in their eyes. It was the result of a long period of training and experience.Sebastian turned and said to Liam, "You and your men stay outside and monitor their movements. If the situation changes, don't let them escape."He walked inside the room alone.One of the men, who had a shaved head, grinned ferociously when he heard Sebastian. He said disdainfully, "Who do you think you are? I came here to have some fun, but now I'm not having fun anymore!"Sebastian smiled slightly and said, "Please forgive us if our service has been inadequate. We'll give the three of you a good bottle of red wine to make up for it. How about that?"
Lysander looked coldly at Sebastian and accused him as soon as he walked in.Beside him, Bradley laughed contemptuously at Sebastian. "It's alright. Just hide and don't come out. People like you who are incapable but nosy usually come to a sticky end."Sebastian looked sideways at Lysander and Bradley. He said coldly, "I advise you not to interfere.""What? You're telling us not to interfere? If we don't, can you handle it?" Lysander laughed, and Bradley followed suit.They felt that Sebastian was a total joke.Lysander wasn't a mindless, wealthy heir. It was just that all his energies were currently focused on Rosalie.Otherwise, with an intellect like his, he should have been able to see how different Sebastian and the others were from an ordinary person. Gavin was a soldier, and every move he made was different from regular people. However, Lysander was blinded by desire and greed, and he didn't see any of this at all. He had received news about the brawl early on, but he
Lysander saw that Sebastian had retreated to the doorway, and he smiled disdainfully.He walked over to the man in the lead and clasped his hands behind his back, arrogantly saying, "Gentlemen, I hope you can give me a satisfactory explanation for tonight's events."He continued, "Don't you people know that there's someone called Mr. Wagner in Steinberg? Even he wouldn't dare to cause trouble here. Are the three of you tired of living?"Lysander had overslept on the day of the opening and had only gotten to work in the afternoon. That was why he had no idea what had happened that day.He had only heard that the infamous Andon of Steinberg had gotten slapped in the face and slunk off with his tail between his legs. As for the person who had slapped Andon, not many people knew who it was. Although Sebastian had visited a few times after that day, Lysander had always coincidentally not been in. That was why Lysander still did not know that the person who had humbled Andon was Sebast
"You insisted on doing this the hard way!" Without hesitating, the man grabbed a knife from the table and plunged it into the abdomen of a dazed security guard. Blood immediately stained the security guard's uniform, and the escorts who were watching at the door immediately turned pale with fright.Lysander was still clutching at his wound, equally stunned by what had happened. It wasn't a fight! It was murder!"C-Call the police!" Lysander wasn't an idiot. He could tell from the man's moves that he and his friends were definitely Warriors.Although Lysander's security guards had received some training, there was still a huge gap between them and Warriors. They were no match for them at all.Suddenly, there was a deafening sound from inside the room, and the escorts at the door exclaimed in shock as they crouched down.Sebastian and Liam were the only ones that remained standing. Everyone else, including Lysander, were crouching on the floor in fear with their heads in their han
The gazes of the other two men swung over to Sebastian at once. Everyone else looked panicked, but Sebastian looked very calm. Anyone who could remain calm and undisturbed in the face of a gun was no ordinary person."It doesn't matter who I am. I have a very important question to ask you," Sebastian said, smiling."Don't move!" The man standing opposite Sebastian instinctively raised his gun. As the gun pointed at Sebastian, the man couldn't help taking a step backward to maintain a safe distance."You're not from Steinberg," Sebastian said, smiling."That's right, I'm not! So?" The man in the lead stood up from the sofa."Gentlemen, put the gun down, and let's have a heart-to-heart talk," Sebastian said, a harmless grin plastered on his face."Fuck that!" The man who had attacked was beginning to feel more and more fearful. He couldn't resist shooting Sebastian.They hadn't been planning to kill anyone there, but Sebastian felt too dangerous. They felt as if they would die in
Lysander trembled involuntarily as he lowered his head. He did not dare to look into Sebastian's eyes. He had never even dreamed that Sebastian would be so aggressive, especially as he looked so docile.Lysander couldn't believe that he had tried to oppose someone as formidable as Sebastian! He had almost caused a huge mess for him just now!Now, all Lysander felt was terror.The three gunmen had fallen beside him, and their wrists were still bleeding.Sebastian's ruthlessness made Lysander suspect that he would have no qualms about committing murder."Your foolishness almost killed everyone here. Don't you think that you deserve to die?" Sebastian looked icily at Lysander."No, no! I didn't know they had guns! Please, don't kill me." Lysander wept as he knelt in front of Sebastian.The crotch of his pants was becoming visibly wetter. He had been so scared of Sebastian's accusing glare that he had wet himself.A few security guards, including Bradley, looked contemptuously at L
Sebastian pulled out the knife and glanced at the man with the scar, whose name was Jamie Dullet. He picked up the net on the table that was used for wrapping fruit. He wrapped it around Jamie's leg forcefully and said, "The ancient people of Dramon invented a type of torture. I wonder if you've heard about it before."He added, "Apparently, if you wrap a net around someone and cut off his flesh piece by piece, you can slice him 360 times with a knife.""Wait!" Jamie was sweating profusely as he stared at Sebastian. He said, "I… I'll tell you."Sebastian nodded slightly. He looked Jamie in the face and said, "Good. This means that you're a smart man. Answer me.""We're not from Dramon, we're from Veldor! The three of us are mercenaries!" Jamie yelled loudly.Sebastian nodded slightly and said, "Yeah. I guessed which country you were from based on your features. That's not what I want to know. Who told you to come, and what are you supposed to do here?"Jamie was about to speak
"It's a good thing I was here tonight. You may not be so lucky next time," Lyanna said. She got up to leave, but Rosalie rose hurriedly and called after her, "Wait!""Is there anything else?" Lyanna turned her head slightly and fixed her beautiful eyes on Rosalie."What kind of person is Sebastian? I mean…" After Lyanna had told her who she was, Rosalie felt as if her thoughts were in turmoil. Even Sebastian, whom she had always loved and admired, had suddenly become unfamiliar to her.If Sebastian had just been a traditional medicine doctor, she could have accepted it. However, now Sebastian was keeping a female spirit around him. Not only that, the spirit was his servant. This was beyond the scope of Rosalie's understanding. Sebastian was rapidly becoming like a riddle to her."Have you heard of sages? Mr. Ballard is probably like them," Lyanna said. In a flash, she had disappeared without a trace.Rosalie remained quiet for a long time before she started the engine once mor
The short, fat man who had smashed up Rosalie's car window tossed his rock aside and hurried over. His eyes were bulging as he looked greedily at the beautiful woman standing in front of them. She was just as pretty as Rosalie was."Boss, I deserve some credit for the work I've done, don't I? Can you give me this chick?" the short, fat man asked, rubbing his hands together as he licked his lips.Lyanna looked at Chet and the short, fat man. She covered her mouth and giggled as she said, "I don't know what kind of day it is, but I do know that next year, this will be your death anniversary! Which of you wants to die first?""I… Huh?" Chet had been about to lunge forward and grab Lyanna, but then he realized what she had said.It would be their death anniversary on this day next year? What did that mean?Before he could recover his senses, Lyanna tittered and nodded. "Alright, you'll die first."She flicked her sleeve aside and revealed her slender, pale hands. Her foot-long, brigh
When Chet and the lackeys looked more closely, they saw that the car parked in the distance was a personal car and that there was a gorgeous woman sitting inside it.They were delighted at their good fortune. This was an opportunity they could not miss!As they were in such a remote area, they barely ever saw any women, let alone a beautiful one like Rosalie.Therefore, Chet gave the order, and the thugs all surged forward. They were barely able to contain their excitement."Hello, beautiful. What has upset you so much at this late hour? Tell us about it. Even if we can't make you happy, you can make us happy!" The short, fat man in the lead reached out to pull Rosalie's car door open as he spoke.Rosalie was beside herself with fear. She hastily locked the car and pulled her phone out of her bag as she screamed loudly at the men outside her car. "What do you want? Stay away from my car, or… or I'll call the police!"The fat, short man glanced at Rosalie, who looked frightened an
Sebastian heard Rosalie sobbing behind him. He turned around abruptly, but Rosalie rushed over to him and slapped him in the face before he could explain."Sebastian! I rushed over here as soon as I heard that something had happened in Steinberg! You… You're a jerk!" Rosalie was weeping. She had been planning on telling Sebastian on the day of the martial arts battle about the good news of the huge order that Arctic Snow Group had received from Lorcan. However, while eavesdropping on a conversation between Oliver and Belinda, she found out about the huge commotion over in Steinberg.When she heard that all eight of the Celestial realm experts that the Warrior League had sent to protect Whitney had all been killed and that the latter had disappeared, Rosalie couldn't contain her anxiety.She had rushed back to Steinberg at once.When she found no sign of Sebastian at the Moonlyte Club, she had come to the convenience store instead.She saw that it was lit up and had run straight
Hank and Taylor broke out into a cold sweat when they saw what had happened. Terence was like a god to them!Who would have thought that Terence, who had had the upper hand just a moment ago, would have stood vacantly on the spot just because Sebastian had thrust the rusty bronze mirror at him? He had just stood still and waited for Sebastian to come and kill him!"Run, hurry!" Before he could think too much about it, Taylor growled in a low voice and turned to flee to the foot of the mountain.Hank only came to his senses when Taylor was already far away from him. He was about to go after him, but he had only gone a few steps when a ghostly, feminine figure appeared and blocked his path."You—" The moment Hank turned, his soul almost left his body from fright at what he saw.Only a moment had passed since Terence's murder, but the eerie woman in front of him had already cut off more than a dozen heads. Whenever she cut a head off, dark energy would be sucked into her emerald
Terence wielded his sword. Wherever the blade pointed, the air was sliced apart instantly!Sebastian forced himself to concentrate and raised his sword to shield his chest!There was a clang as Terence's sword crashed down on Sebastian's, and sparks flew up at once. Sebastian couldn't help but take a few steps back. He felt the energy roiling inside him and almost spat out a mouthful of blood."My lord!" Nina felt extremely anxious when she saw that Sebastian was at a disadvantage. She ignored Sebastian's previous command and leaped over to him to hold him up. "My lord, are you alright?" Nina asked in concern. Sebastian was slightly flushed, and he looked as if his energy was becoming erratic. He shook his head slightly and pushed Nina away. He handed Whitney to her and said, "Protect Whitney well. If anything happens to her, come and see me with your head!" Nina turned to Rose, who was beside her. She wanted to protest, but Sebastian waved a hand and said, "Lyanna was hur
"It's a pity that you'll never understand," Sebastian said.Terence's face flushed. Who would've expected a young man in his twenties like Sebastian to be so perceptive? He was even more advanced than Terence in the Way of Wisdom!"My lord, I was trapped in the front yard just now. No matter how I walked, I couldn't get through the door. That's why…" Lyanna trailed off and hung her head, looking shamefaced.Technically, she was a spirit. How had she fallen prey to the Bewitchment spell? Even Lyanna was puzzled."It's the Soulbell!" Sebastian turned abruptly to look at Terence.Lyanna felt that she couldn't have been trapped by the Bewitchment spell because she didn't actually have a body. Meanwhile, Nina was a thousand-year-old snake deity, and ordinary formations couldn't contain her at all.Therefore, there was only one possibility. Terence had external help. The Soulbell was the only possible explanation.Nina and Rose arrived as well."Protect Whitney," Sebastian said befor
Sebastian eyed the middle-aged man and laughed coldly. "You surprised me too. Do you want to be a sacrifice for my sword?"Sebastian gently shook Purity, which he was holding. Immediately, it felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck the entire yard!Hank and the others began mocking him at once. "Ballard, you are bold out of ignorance. Do you know who is standing in front of you? Let me tell you, it's the seventh elder of Sword Towers, Mr. Manderly."One of them added, "Consider it an honor for you to be killed by Mr. Manderly."Sebastian raised an eyebrow and squinted at Terence as he said, "If I'm guessing correctly, Nina and the others must have fallen into your trap. That's why they haven't arrived yet. Right?""You're observant!" Terence smiled faintly and said, "If you hadn't stepped into Draconem Cathedral right before I did, you would be stuck in a Bewitchment trap, just like them."Honestly, it's a miracle for someone of your age to have this level of training. However,
While Taylor stood there, stunned, Sebastian bore down on him. Upon seeing Sebastian raising his fist to hit him once more, Taylor hastily pulled himself together and met Sebastian's punch with his own."Are… Are you all stupid?" Blood was seeping out of the back of Taylor's hand as he looked at the people behind him."You've always liked fighting alone, Taylor. We were afraid that we would spoil your fun." Despite what Hank said, he turned on his heel and sent a spinning kick at Sebastian to block his path.Sebastian felt a strong force rushing toward him, and he immediately stopped in the midst of pursuing Taylor. He moved aside and aimed a roundhouse kick at Hank. Yet another wave of energy exploded, and fear flashed across Hank's face. The blow had seemed plain, but it embodied the mysterious principles of martial arts.Even an expert who was two levels higher than Hank would have had his bones broken by that kick, let alone someone who was only at the first level of the Ce
