Sebastian smiled happily as he walked into a private room with Skylar. There were two other women seated on the couch inside, and they immediately got up to greet him when they saw him entering."Mr. Ballard! Mr. Ballard!" The two women slipped their arms through Sebastian's.He smiled at them as he said, "I didn't see the two of you inside that room just now. Skylar wants to thank me, but you two…""Mr. Ballard, we were the escorts for those men just now. This is Lina Turnor and Mimi Lozario. If you hadn't helped us, the three of us would have been in huge trouble today!" Skylar explained to Sebastian as she closed the door.Sebastian nodded and glanced at the four glasses of red wine already laid out on the table. He smiled and said, "I can see that you're fully prepared."Skylar was startled, and the other two women immediately smiled very awkwardly."Mr. Ballard, let me make you a toast," Skylar said. She picked up one of the glasses of red wine and handed it to Sebastian.S
Sebastian closed the door and chuckled as he said, "Don't worry. I won't kill you right now.""Mr. Ballard, we… we were forced to do this," Lina explained quickly to him.When Sebastian had killed the three men, she had been in the room. She had seen for herself how Sebastian had tortured them to death, which was why she was now looking at Sebastian with fear in her eyes."Mr. Ballard, if you're going to kill me, I have nothing to say. I beg you, please save my family." Skylar walked over to Sebastian, looking as if she had made peace with herself. There was an apologetic, guilty look in her eyes as she said, "Mr. Ballard, did you already suspect me from the beginning?"Sebastian smiled calmly and said, "Only a bit. You were acting too enthusiastically when we've only met once."Sebastian hadn't expected Skylar to drug his wine. He had thought that Skylar would try to seduce him to get his protection. However, the moment he had sniffed the wine, his keen sense of smell had imm
Skylar nodded slightly. Sebastian heard the sound of high heels in the corridor, so he quickly lay back in his original position and closed his eyes tightly.As he had expected, the door opened in less than a minute.Mimi walked into the room and looked at Sebastian, who was still on the floor where he had fallen.When she saw that he was still unconscious, she smiled and said, "Your next task is to let him lean on you as you leave the Moonlyte Club. There'll be a black van outside. Just take him there, and that will be all you have to do."Skylar and Lina nodded quickly. They hefted the "unconscious" Sebastian onto their shoulders with some difficulty and tottered outside.In the corridor, the security guards immediately surged forward when they saw Lina and Skylar walking outside with Sebastian leaning heavily on them. Lina quickly explained that Sebastian was drunk and they were taking him back. The security guards stopped asking questions. After all, many people got dead d
Sebastian saw that he was in a spacious room that was about a thousand square feet. There were over a dozen burly men dressed in black.They all looked murderous, and their waistlines were bulging. They were probably armed with guns.Behind Sebastian, Skylar and Lina were being held on the floor by four burly men. Their eyes were filled with terror as they looked at Jeremy. On the other end of the couch, Mimi sat with her legs crossed. She fixed an icy stare at Sebastian, as if she were looking at a dead man."We meet again, Mr. Lewis. However, is this how you treat guests?" Sebastian waved his tied arm.Jeremy burst into laughter and said, "Ballard, who would've thought that you would ever be in a situation like this? I really put in everything I had to get you."His smile became increasingly more ferocious. When he saw Sebastian, he immediately thought of Jasper, who was still lying in hospital. He also remembered the slaps that he had gotten that day. Since the day he start
However, the Slaughter Gods had suddenly cut off all contact with Jeremy, which was why he had suddenly gotten the idea of legalizing all his businesses. Without the support of a powerful ally like the Slaughter Gods, Jeremy had been rather cautious.However, the Slaughter Gods had suddenly contacted him again recently, making him feel that luck was really on his side.He had been planning on becoming the top dog of Steinberg's underworld with the Slaughter Gods' help, but unfortunately, Sebastian's appearance had ruined his plan.Otherwise, both Hans and Andon might have already been murdered through the Slaughter Gods. Jeremy had finally seen an opportunity when the Moonlyte Club reopened, whereupon he immediately activated the pawns he had planted in the club.However, the result had disappointed Jeremy greatly. It hadn't posed any threat to Sebastian at all. He had had no choice but to take action and plot an elaborate scheme to lure Sebastian into his trap."I'm sure you
Sebastian couldn't help feeling relieved. If Belinda hadn't given him Purity, he wouldn't have been able to dodge Mimi's shot.Although he had vital energy to shield himself, it wouldn't be able to withstand modified bullets, which would be able to penetrate it easily!Mimi's bullets were all modified, and at such close quarters, it was even more powerful than a sniper rifle.There was a deafening sound of metal clashing against metal. The bullet ricocheted away and smashed into the glass beside them.Mimi had never dreamt that Sebastian's sword would be so hard. That bullet had been made to penetrate steel several inches thick at a distance of several feet.Just as she was in shock, she saw an icy flash cross her eyes.Right after that, Mimi held onto her throat with both hands, looking defiant. Bright red blood seeped out through her fingers.Jeremy had grabbed the opportunity to retreat to the door. He turned and smiled coldly as he said, "Sebastian, you won't be able to esca
Through a top-secret message sent to him by headquarters just a moment ago, Liam had found out that Jeremy was the most important member of the Slaughter Gods in Steinberg.Sebastian turned and said to Liam, "I'll leave him to you."Liam pulled out his gun and held it against Jeremy's head. His arm trembled, but in the end, he didn't pull the trigger.At that moment, several men in suits burst onto the third floor. One of them approached Liam and said, "Colonel, all those who resisted have been shot dead!"Liam looked at Jeremy for a long time, but in the end, he slowly put his gun down and said to the two suited men behind him, "Take him away and stop the bleeding. Don't let him die!""Yes, sir!" Jeremy laughed scornfully at Liam as he said, "Didn't you want to get revenge? Kill me! Would you dare to?"The building rang with Jeremy's wild laughter. Liam clenched his fists. He wanted to kill Jeremy more than anyone. However, as the captain of the special forces team, he could
Sebastian looked at Lina, who had fallen to the floor. There was a sheen of cold sweat on his forehead.That had been close!He had almost lost his life in that split second.It was the second time that night that he had come so close to death.Sebastian could finally feel how terrifying the Slaughter Gods were.Compared to a face-to-face battle like they'd had in the past, indiscriminate assassination was very hard to guard against. A slight slip could mean sudden death at any moment!"S-Seb… I… I… Grandpa…" Blood trickled out of the corner of Liam's mouth. Two men in suits hurried forward to support him."Liam!" Sebastian hurried over to him to check his injuries.Luckily, the bullet had gone through his body without injuring any of his internal organs.Liam was vomiting up blood because of the strain on the blood vessels in his abdomen that had been caused by the drag of the bullet. That was why he was bleeding.Sebastian quickly sealed Liam's acupuncture points with silve
Javier fell with a thump onto the floor. He stared dazedly as Kayden was tied to a long bench with a rope."Bring in the family members of the victim. Who from the law enforcement hall will carry out the punishment?" Sebastian demanded.He pulled out a silver needle and pierced one of Kayden's acupuncture points, which would make him more alert.When a man in a wheelchair was pushed into the hall by a young woman who looked very frail, Sebastian stood up quickly.He said to the young man, "Kayden is the reason your family's fallen apart. We'll torture him to death very soon.""That asshole! He deserves to be slashed a million times!" the young man yelled at Kayden, clenching his fists tightly."Don't get agitated. He won't die before he gets cut 7,000 times. Although you don't have the right to carry out the execution, you can splash salt water over his wounds!"Sebastian took a bucket from one of the law enforcement hall apprentices and placed it in front of the young man."Se
At least that man had not had to grovel to the perpetrators to thank them. Not only did Brayden have to grovel to the law enforcement hall men, he even had to thank them!After about four hours, when Kayden had pulled up his pants, he went over to Brayden and said in a slightly ashamed tone, "Inspector Jefferson, I… I had no choice!"He sounded as if he was completely innocent.Brayden wanted to murder him. Just a minute earlier, when Joaquin had called out his name, he had been shaking with excitement. He had even forgotten about the pain of having his crotch injured and lunged toward Darla like a hungry wolf. Now, he was standing in front of Brayden, acting innocent?Brayden had only gotten into this state because of Kayden!After sending away all the reporters, Joaquin sent a message to Sebastian. In less than ten minutes, Sebastian sauntered back into the restaurant. He glanced at Darla, who was lying on the floor with a vacant look in her eyes. Sebastian patted Brayden's sh
If the incident was broadcast, it would be sure to cause an uproar, and Boren would become the center of the storm.However, Sebastian had made up his mind, and Joaquin didn't dare to try and dissuade him. He had no choice but to do as Sebastian had commanded and call over the news teams from all three states' television stations.Since the head director of a state was calling them personally, none of them dared to refuse. In less than two hours, the news teams from all three state television stations had arrived and were in position."What news are we broadcasting today, Mr. Ballard?" a female reporter asked Sebastian.She had seen how messy the place was, and there didn't seem to be anything for them to report about."Later, these people are going to help a family improve the gene pool, and I need you to broadcast the entire process live. Before you do, please play a recording of a phone call from Inspector Jefferson," Sebastian said. He sent the recording of the phone call
"Kneel!" Sebastian suddenly yelled.Brayden yelped with fear and fell to his knees."Sebastian, I… I'm a tristate inspector of the Martial Arts Court!"At that point, Brayden's final hope was his authority and position. He didn't want to die, and he especially didn't want to die for no reason.He just wanted to win favor with the ancestral being of the Berkeleys and get some tips on how to get a longer life."Call your wife! I'll give you two hours. If she doesn't come, you'll be tortured to death as well. I can tell you clearly that I'm a doctor, and I have ways to keep you alive until you get slashed 3,600 times with a knife!" Sebastian said icily."I…"Brayden trembled as he pulled out his phone. His mind had gone blank, and it took him a long time to find his wife's phone number. Her name was Darla Wyllis. "Hello? Honey? A handbag caught my eye today, but that stupid store actually refused to give it to me for free! It's a lousy handbag that only costs about 500 thousand d
Jayden had only gone a few steps, but he had no choice but to stop. He turned and grimaced at the Berkeleys and Brayden, who were all looking in his direction.He was filled with regret. He should have made his escape earlier instead of coming back with Brayden. Egbert and Yorrick were clearly fools. One of them had maimed himself and ended up vomiting blood relentlessly, while the other stood there like an idiot for Sebastian to slap him. He would be surprised if either of them could defeat Sebastian.As everyone was watching him, Jayden had no choice but to return to his previous spot. He looked nervously at Yorrick, praying inwardly that the old man would somehow get more skilled. He couldn't let Sebastian screw him over!"This is the last slap, old man. Do you still have any feeling in your face?" Sebastian asked, raising his palm."Damn you!" Yorrick swore violently. However, one of his front teeth had been knocked out earlier when he was slapped, and air escaped noisily t
The entire left side of Yorrick's face had become so numb that he couldn't feel a thing."Young man, just now you already hit me—""I only slapped you once!" Sebastian interrupted, holding up a finger.Yorrick spat and said, "How could one slap have made so many noises?"Sebastian replied innocently, "Everyone here can testify that I only hit you once, and I did it very slowly too. You all saw it, didn't you?"The onlookers nodded quickly, especially the experts from the law enforcement hall. They still couldn't figure out how an expert at Yorrick's level could have been sent flying through the air by a weak slap like that from Sebastian.What puzzled them the most was that Yorrick had clearly landed in a very safe spot. Why had he insisted on rolling into a pile of broken glass and gotten such a gaping wound on his face?"Fine!" Yorrick clenched his teeth and suppressed the pain in the right side of his face. "There are still two moves left!" he said viciously."Will you com
Sebastian nodded slightly. Yorrick had probably killed the young man because the latter was proficient in mystic spells and was already on the brink of the threshold. That could be the only reason for Yorrick's senseless deedThere were some people who couldn't bear seeing people who were stronger than them, which was why they made their move before their opponent could grow and develop."Are you really going to concede three moves to me, old man?" Sebastian stepped forward, grinning."Of course!" Yorrick answered, staring arrogantly at him.He still hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary with Sebastian, so he assumed that Sebastian was just an ordinary guy. He had probably only been able to defeat so many experts—including Egbert—because he had used some kind of trick. Egbert had lost because he had fallen into Sebastian's trap, not because of the latter's skills. That was why Egbert ended up suffering from the backlash of the ghost he had nurtured and lost his powers."I'll
"Young man, you're so cruel. Have you ever thought of the consequences of your actions?" Yorrick asked. He put his hands behind his back as he walked slowly toward Sebastian. Sebastian eyed Yorrick, whose training was at least on the same level as Egbert's. Besides, what he had studied was also a kind of spell. He and Sebastian specialized in the same study.The moment Yorrick got angry, Sebastian had sensed the faint power of Dainist principles from him."No blows are kind, and neither are harsh words! Why do you people feel that others should meekly allow you to beat them up? When your people are injured, you immediately think of it as the other party's mistake! That doesn't make any sense!" Sebastian answered coldly."Mr. Irving, kill that asshole!" Kayden said viciously. He was still clutching his crotch with one hand while he pointed at Sebastian with his other hand. Beside them, Jayden said defiantly, "Mr. Irving, you must not let this guy go! He's ruthless and extremely
Huh? Egbert frowned involuntarily. He had never felt that way before. What was going on? There was a loud blast, and the gigantic statue suddenly appeared out of thin air. At the same time, Egbert suddenly felt his blood churning inside him, and he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.He was about to turn and run when a black bolt of light hit him in the back. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew through the air like a broken kite. "Oh! Are you actually a sadist, old man?" Sebastian asked, smiling.Before Egbert could scramble up again, yet another bolt of dark light flew toward him."Damn it!"Egbert could no longer be conscious of his image and dignity. He swore at once. The dark light was aimed at his energy reserve. If he was hit, his decades of training would be completely ruined. However, he had plenty of life experience and had been through many such situations. When he saw the dark light flying toward him, he rolled across the floor like a bal
