After seeing Sebastian's fight with Luther, Gavin finally believed what Cillian had said.Gavin could not say for sure that he would be able to knock Luther out with just one punch and defeat him with another move.The powers that Sebastian had shown were far beyond what Gavin himself could ever aspire to, and as a soldier, all he felt for those stronger than him was respect.That was why Gavin saw Sebastian as someone who was worthy enough to be someone that he could follow and learn from as a role model."Mr. Ballard, there seem to be assassins on the second floor," Gavin said in a low voice because he could sense danger.All the lights on the second floor were turned off, so when they looked around, all they could see was darkness. There were also the faint silhouettes of tables and chairs laid out neatly.Only those who were particularly good at staying concealed would be able to detect the danger in the air. Gavin was one of them. Sebastian smiled calmly and went straight
"Hmph!" Cormac scoffed but didn't answer. He turned back and clapped his hands lightly three times.The silhouettes of three men and a woman immediately materialized at the door. One of them was Rose. Sebastian's heart skipped a beat. He immediately exchanged looks with Gavin, who also sensed how dangerous the four of them were."I have a few friends who would like to have a word with you." Cormac confidently pulled out a chair and sat down.Rose and the three other black-clad men sat down. The four of them were positioned in a way that ensured that both the door and the windows were covered. "Is there a grudge between us?" Sebastian asked, looking at one of the men."You've killed so many members of the Slaughter Gods. How could there not be a grudge between us?" the man answered coldly."What about you?" Sebastian asked, turning to look at Rose."I came to watch the show, handsome. Don't be so nervous." She smiled winsomely at him.The other three turned to look at her in
"Thank you, thank you." Cormac got up and ran out of the room. Andon immediately got up to escape with him."Hold it!" Sebastian said sharply. Andon froze in the doorway. He stood stiffly, not daring to move a muscle."Let me ask you a question. I hope that you can answer honestly. Otherwise, you'll become the fourth corpse in this room." Sebastian asked icily, "Where on earth is Jace?""I… I don't know either, Mr. Ballard! I haven't seen him for a long time. This time, I know that I've made a mistake!"If you forgive me this time, I'll retire at once and never return to Steinberg." Cold sweat was pouring off Andon's brow, and he was trembling violently."Get lost!" Sebastian waved a hand at him.Andon took a step forward, and behind him, Rose said softly, "It would be better if you acted as if nothing happened here. If a word of what took place here gets out, your entire family will die."Andon jolted slightly, then ran downstairs as fast as his legs could carry him.Altho
Zane shut the door while he was speaking and started the engine."Come home first. I have something to discuss with Mr. Ballard," Theodore said. He hung up."Seb, my dad told me to take you back. He has something he wants to discuss with you," Zane said tentatively. "Alright. Let's go back to your place first, then." Sebastian nodded slightly.Gavin knew Theodore, so he went with them as well.When they reached the Northman residence, Theodore called Sebastian into the study and said very seriously, "Mr. Ballard, I think you were a little impulsive in how you treated the Dunhills today."Sebastian already knew what Theodore's intentions were, so he nodded slightly and said, "You might be right, but I don't like his arrogant attitude.""Wait a moment," Theodore said. He pulled out his phone, found a number, and dialed it. When the call connected, he handed the phone to Sebastian and said, "It's Mr. Shields Senior."Sebastian was surprised. He hadn't expected Cillian to be inv
Theodore led Sebastian out as soon as he finished speaking. Before getting into the car, he called Ambrose and asked him to meet them at the hotel entrance.When Ambrose heard that Sebastian had agreed to help, he was delighted and thanked Theodore profusely over the phone.Theodore exchanged a few pleasantries with him before hanging up.In the hall of the Elysium, Angus looked coldly at Fernando and Wilbur. They had been trussed up by the Dunhills' bodyguards and tossed into a corner. They were no longer being treated as guests."Sir, if we don't give them any water, I'm afraid that they'll…" the bodyguard trailed off as he glanced at Fernando, who kept licking his lips."Let them have some, then." Angus turned to Fernando and Wilbur and said, "If it weren't for the fact that Brett is about to be saved, I would toss you downstairs right now!"Wilbur hunched his shoulders in fear. He wasn't even thinking about how to get the contract anymore. He just wanted to survive.When Amb
"Alright!" The black-clad bodyguard turned and ran into the elevator. "Please sit down, Mr. Ballard." Angus' attitude was now much more pleasant compared to before. He even ordered someone to pour tea for Sebastian and the others."Mr. Ballard, Luther has been my subordinate for many years. Do you think you could save his life?" Angus requested sincerely.Luther had been stabbed in the stomach, and both his legs were broken. He was barely hanging on, and even the best doctors in Sunway could not do anything for him.Although Luther was just a dog to Angus, he still didn't want to lose such a loyal dog. "That's not hard. I'll write a prescription again. Don't worry, Mr. Dunhill," Sebastian said, chuckling."Thank you, Mr. Ballard. I'll be sure to repay you handsomely," Angus said firmly.He took the prescription from Sebastian and handed it over to one of the bodyguards standing beside him. Only then did Angus look at Brett, who was lying on the bed. His son appeared to be an i
The yellow paper charm drifted gently onto Brett's forehead.A blast of white light enveloped Brett at once."Mr. Dunhill, your son will wake up in about an hour's time. Make this mound of graveyard dirt into a sachet and let him keep it with him at all times. After a month, he'll be as good as new," Sebastian said as he handed the graveyard dirt to Angus."Go and get me a sachet!" Angus instructed.After a while, the sachet was ready. Sebastian instructed them to crush some medicinal herbs and smear them on Luther's wound."I'll give you another prescription. Let him take the medicine on time, and he'll be fully recovered within a month," Sebastian said. He took some pen and paper, wrote a prescription, and handed it to a bodyguard. "Go and get the medicinal herbs," Angus ordered.The black-clad bodyguards turned and left after receiving Angus' permission."Mr. Ballard, I have a small gift that I hope you'll accept," Angus said. He took a square, redwood box from a black-cl
There was a glint in Angus' eyes as he looked at Sebastian.Silas' health was deteriorating, and without him around, the Dunhills would lose their main pillar of support.The so-called renowned doctors, even those in Draepolis, could not do anything about it at all.However, Sebastian had given Angus hope.There were many prestigious families in Janover, but what they all competed in was how long the head of the family could live.For instance, the Tamson family had once been very glamorous, but it was now less than a third-rate family. It had lost all its influence among the prominent families when the head of the family, Archie Tamson, passed away three years ago. The Dunhills would face the same thing one day because no one could live forever. However, as long as Silas could hold on, it would give the Dunhills precious time to develop further."Mr. Ballard, are you interested in going on a trip to Janover?" Angus said, smiling wolfishly at him. He was now no longer hostile
