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
"He's a sadist! He's a demon and a murderer!" Lysander shouted and wailed as he scrambled in Rosalie's direction.He had only crawled forward a few steps when a man in a suit kicked him back. Gavin's gaze swept over Lysander, and he said coldly, " Crouch down and stop moving!"Lysander had been kicked in the ribs by the man in the suit. He was in so much pain that he could barely breathe. However, he knew that he couldn't afford to provoke any of these people, so he had no choice but to crouch aggrievedly on the floor. He dared not move."Send some men and take the corpses to a crematorium. Get them cremated before you investigate how they entered the country and verify their identities!" Gavin ordered in a low voice."Yes, sir!" Two men in suits went out. Not long after, four other men in suits came in again, holding several large black plastic bags. They put the corpses into the plastic bags and stealthily took them out of the Moonlyte Club. Sebastian tossed the knife aside and
Rosalie's expression turned frosty as soon as Lysander finished speaking. She said expressionlessly, "How do you think I should deal with this, Mr. Gaiman?"Lysander was delighted that Rosalie was asking for his opinion. He said venomously, "Ms. Griffin, I think that people like Sebastian will bring trouble upon the Moonlyte Club sooner or later! Do you know that those three murderers said that someone had hired them to kill Sebastian?" Lysander was extremely gleeful. He felt that as long as Rosalie believed him, Sebastian would no longer even be able to enter the Moonlyte Club. If he could come up with some other minor incidents to get Rosalie called back more frequently to the Moonlyte Club, they would have more opportunities to see each other. Once that happened, he was sure that Rosalie would eventually sleep with him. Besides, Lysander felt that he was the one who had contributed the most to the Moonlyte Club. Rosalie would have to consider his opinions carefully. "Mr. Ga
"If you're still planning on staying here, you'd better not provoke Sebastian or any of the people who are staying in the rooms on the fifth floor. Otherwise, the consequences will be far beyond what you can imagine." Rosalie strolled out of the room and sauntered elegantly toward the elevator.Lysander clenched his fists tightly and stared viciously at her retreating figure. He leered at her and said in a low voice, "I will make you pay a heavy price!"…Meanwhile, Sebastian and the others had returned to the office on the fifth floor. Gavin frowned and said, "Mr. Ballard, when did you offend someone with the family name Lewis?"Sebastian raised an eyebrow. Lewis?On the way back, Gavin had told him that someone had hired three assassins from Veldor to kill him. The three assassins had told him that the person who had hired them had the surname Lewis.However, Sebastian couldn't remember offending anyone with that surname. Could it be Jeremy?Sebastian suddenly remembered what
Sebastian's sudden question startled Gavin. He paused for a while before nodding. He said, "Mr. Ballard, to tell you the truth, that is my intention."Before Sebastian could ask, Gavin continued, "The security department has received some information. The peace in Sartvale may be disrupted soon."Mr. Shields Senior must have considered this when he asked me to stay in Steinberg with you."However, if we transfer too many people here, it's sure to attract attention. If we arrange for them to stay at the club as security guards, no one will be able to detect anything."Sebastian nodded slightly and said, "What I'm interested to know is who is the one who will disrupt the peace in Sartvale."Gavin smiled brightly and said, "Mr. Ballard, I wonder if you would consider my suggestion?" Sebastian frowned. "What is it?""Join the security department." Gavin chuckled.Sebastian smiled wryly and shook his head. "Sorry. I'm not interested in the security department. Besides, I don't want
"Young lady, can you tell me where Klaus is now?" Sebastian looked placidly at the receptionist.The receptionist had turned pale with fright when she saw how Sebastian had knocked out a 200-pound, six-foot-tall man with just one slap. She instinctively took one step back.The other security guards rushed forward upon seeing their colleague being knocked unconscious.Sebastian looked at them out of the corner of his eye and smiled at Gavin and Liam. "I'll leave them to you." Liam spread his hands as he looked at Gavin. The two of them exchanged looks and sighed in exasperation. In a flash, they both charged at the guards. Although Gavin and Liam weren't as skilled as Sebastian was, the guards were no match for them at all. Within less than half a minute, the guards were all lying in pools of blood. Gavin patted the dust off his body and chuckled as he said to the receptionist, "I told you he has a bad temper." The receptionist was pale with fear. Both of these men were cl
Luigi had just left when someone reported his movements to Alessio."Oh? Luigi left with six people?" Alessio asked, looking stern."Yes. They brought weapons and were wearing night camouflage clothes!" a young Warrior said.Alessio shook his head and said, "Luigi is walking into certain death. He shouldn't have done that."He suddenly thought of the look of despair in Luigi's eyes when he had left Alessio's room. Only someone who couldn't see any hope and had no choice but to die would look like that."Mr. Gallo, Luigi isn't betraying us, is he?"As soon as the young Warrior spoke, Alessio slapped him and yelled angrily, "What do you know, you bastard?"The young Warrior hunched his shoulders and lowered his head quickly."He's going to find that mystic arts expert for us! He's using his life to ensure our safety!" After taking a few deep breaths, Alessio ordered coldly, "Get out!"The young Warrior hastily left his room.…At that moment, Sebastian and Lyanna were being en
The battle at the arena continued until evening. Four deacons from Dramon's martial arts court had joined forces to defeat over 100 of the international experts who had challenged them. It had pushed the martial arts battle to new heights."Everyone, it's getting late. We can have the final match tomorrow morning!" the host said into the mic to all those in the arena and in the audience.Two-thirds of the seats in the stands were already empty. Apart from the Yvantonian Warriors, who had been wiped out by Yutaria, most of the Warriors from other countries had been killed by Lyanna and Nina.Out of 400 or 500 visitors, only less than 200 were left. If the battle went on, everyone in the opposition stand would be dead after a day at most.…After returning to Yutaria's base camp, Luigi stood up and asked a middle-aged, "Mr. Gallo, have you noticed that there's something strange about the Dramonian Warriors?"For two days in a row, Luigi had been watching sharply. He couldn't unders
After returning to the club with the rest of the Sapientia, Ezekiel smashed more than ten cups in his anger. The more he thought about what had happened that day, the angrier he became. How could that bastard Sebastian have tricked him like that?"Mr. Harton, why didn't you confront Sebastian?" Alaric asked in confusion.Ezekiel struck him hard across the face. "Are you an idiot?" he snapped. "How can we argue with him when he still has Purity?"Ezekiel had been planning to use Aiden's death to force Sebastian into a corner. However, that would only force Sebastian to use his trump card. When that happened, who would take the brunt of it?Gritting his teeth, his eyes glinted with malice. "Since Sebastian didn't keep his word, we don't have to play fair either!"Alaric was still stunned by the slap. He looked timidly at Ezekiel, not daring to say anything.Percival stepped forward to smooth things over. "Mr. Harton means that we'll go to Sebastian's place tonight and invite his
Everything ended once one was dead. Any fame and renown granted after death was meaningless."Mr. Tuxley, you must be joking," Percival said, barely holding it in.He continued, his eyes bulging. "Sebastian promised that he would lend us Purity if we won three matches in a row, but Mr. Lorne won 12 matches. In the end, he died in the arena because his strength had run out. What do you have to say about that?""When did I say that I would lend it? I said I could lend it. Don't you understand the difference?" Sebastian asked coldly.Phineas chuckled. "That's right. Mr. Ballard meant that he could lend it or decide not to. However, since you've promised to stand up for Dramon's martial arts community, you should be battling in the arena anyway. As for whether you live or die, that depends entirely on your own capabilities."Everyone could tell that he was biased toward Sebastian. Ezekiel had the highest ranking among them, and everyone turned to look at him. At this point, he was the
Aiden was already panting from exhaustion in the arena. When he heard what Sebastian had said, he grew furious.Sebastian was deliberately letting him wear himself out! However, at that point, there was nothing he could do about it despite his anger.Whitney and Rosalie finally understood what Sebastian was up to. They now realized that he was using Aiden and the others as cannon fodder.Even so, Whitney was still rather worried. Leaning in close, she whispered, "Sebastian, it isn't' wise to offend them like this. They're all part of the martial arts community. What if they seek revenge on us?"Part of the martial arts community?Sebastian chuckled coldly. He was the successor of the Sacred Medicine Society. Who would dare to play any tricks with them?"Don't worry," he said, smiling. "They acknowledged me as their league leader, didn't they? Which means, they should do as I say. If it comes down to it, I won't be their league leader anymore, and they can have the position back."
Aiden's sword technique was the standard Polar Technique of the Sapientia. Not only was it incredibly fast, but it also changed very quickly.None of Giuseppe's previous opponents had received the true legacy of the Sapientia. Aiden, however, was different. He had already mastered the sword technique.Giuseppe had barely dodged Aiden's Heartseeker move. Before he could retaliate, Aiden had already stepped forward and circled around him to attack with a downward thrust!Sensing the danger at his back, he hastily blocked it with his machete.However, he was just a moment too slow. Aiden's sword slashed his shoulder, and with a sickening squelch, his left arm was severed.That was when Giuseppe realized how powerful Aiden was.Aiden's techniques were exquisite, and they more than compensated for what he lacked in strength. In just a few moves, he had cut off Giuseppe's arm, and all of the latter's arrogance was gone.He stared at Aiden, looking as pale as a sheet. The hand that hel
The host hastily instructed the staff to remove Malachi's body from the arena. He looked toward the stands and said, "The winner of the first match is Giuseppe Rossi from Yutaria!"A hush fell over the Dramonian audience. At the sight of Malachi dying in such a tragic manner, they all sighed, quietly murmuring their condolences.In the stands, Whitney frowned. "Sebastian, he had the upper hand at first. Why did he suddenly…""Pride comes before a fall. Besides, he only had the advantage because it was a sneak attack. It wasn't because of his abilities," Sebastian said, smiling slightly.Giuseppe grinned smugly when he heard the host. Then, he crooked his finger at the Dramonian stands.Aiden's expression darkened. Malachi was one of his sect's elite apprentices. He wasn't a weak or incompetent man. How could he have been cut down by Giuseppe in a single move?He cursed Malachi inwardly for being useless before turning to look at one of his other apprentices. "You go!"However, j
"You will pay the price for your arrogance!" Giuseppe shouted. He tightened his grip on his machete slowly, and the blade gleamed ominously. Sebastian frowned in the stands. Earlier, Giuseppe had been caught off guard, but now the powers he was showing made it clear that Malachi was no match for him. The gleam of that machete was different from that of normal blades. It extended along the blade and swept over its tip.Normally, when a blade wasn't moving, the reflection of light on it wouldn't move either.This meant Giuseppe had already mastered the art of blade intent. It was just that his skills were so rudimentary that he wouldn't even count as a beginner.Despite that, he was still much more powerful than an average Warrior. Those who had never experienced the difference between blade energy and vital energy could never imagine the huge difference between the two. No matter how strong one's vital energy was, if their opponent had even a basic mastery of blade intent and
Winning three matches consecutively didn't seem like a tough request, but that depended on who the opponent was.Every challenger in the tournament was an international expert. Even if Ezekiel himself stepped into the arena, he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to win three consecutive matches.Alaric looked troubled and asked, "Mr. Ballard, don't you think that's a bit too much?"Sebastian glanced at him sideways and replied, "That's the bare minimum. If even that request can't be met, wouldn't this sword be worthless?"He lifted the sword in his hand and weighed it gently. Alaric clenched his jaw but had no choice but to sit back down. He turned to Aiden and the others, muttering, "Winning three matches in a row is easier said than done. I don't think Sebastian has any intention of handing that sword over."Alaric shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Lorne, now is not the time to fight with Ballard. After all, we have an agreement."The league agreement bound not onl
