Buying land and buying a factory were two entirely different things. Although it was an abandoned factory, it was still extremely expensive."He bought the land? Does he have that much money?" Orlando frowned and asked, "Where would he get so much money?""Mr. Gulliver, I'll be honest with you. That piece of land is almost 250 acres. I heard that he spent over 500 million on it!" Trey said truthfully.As the director of the factory, he knew every detail about it. He was even secretly relieved that the new owner was so wealthy. It meant that there would be more opportunities for promotion and a higher salary. "He really keeps a low profile, doesn't he? As long as we can verify that he's the owner of both the land and the pharmaceutical factory, things will be easy." Orlando smiled menacingly. 500 million… even if Sebastian had many wealthy friends, that amount would surely be everything he had. As long as they could seize the pharmaceutical factory, Sebastian would become poor.
Marcel had been in politics for a long time. He knew that people like Kelvin would never do something for nothing. He wouldn't have spent so much money unless he had a favor to ask.Kelvin smiled impassively and said, "I see that nothing gets past you, Mr. Lyme. Actually, I do have a little favor to ask of you."Marcel raised his glass and took a sip of expensive whiskey. He put some food in his mouth and enjoyed the flavor before saying, "Mr. Gulliver, I'll do everything I can. However, in terms of the benefits…"Kelvin smiled thinly and took out a check from his pocket. He pushed it over to Marcel.Marcel glanced at it and immediately refused, saying, "Oh, Mr. Gulliver. Before I can be sure about whether or not I can help, you don't need to be so polite."Marcel wasn't an idiot. The Gullivers and Sebastian had been locked in a fierce battle for quite some time. Although Sebastian was a relatively unknown nobody, he did have connections with Zeke from Steinberg Pharma.Marcel ha
"We have to check it very carefully and meticulously," Marcel said. "If you can't find a problem and the factory isn't closed down, you can resign!""Okay! You can leave it up to me!" Jake Bullen said confidently. Marcel's intention was clear. Jake would have to seize the pharmaceutical factory in the northern region.After hanging up, Jake immediately contacted Rory Woodsen, who was from the Food and Drug Administration. He told Rory what Marcel wanted.When Rory heard that it was a direct command from Marcel, he immediately called ten of his subordinates and drove to the northern region with Jake.On the way there, Rory asked in confusion, "That pharmaceutical factory has been closed for about half a year, right? Why would Mr. Lyme suddenly tell us to investigate it?"Jake scoffed. "There's a saying that says that people hide their riches. Think about how well-off you have to be to spend 500 million on establishing a factory in the northern region. If Mr. Lyme doesn't do anyth
Sebastian glanced at Jake from afar. He could tell from their actions that they had come prepared."Gentlemen, I'm Sebastian Ballard, the owner of this pharmaceutical factory," he said, smiling. Jake eyed Sebastian and pretended to look surprised as he said, "Oh? Aren't you the consultant of Arctic Snow Group? My apologies for the disrespect." Sebastian smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Bullen, you're too polite. Why did you bring so many people? Are you planning to smash up my factory?"Jake scoffed. "Rubbish! I'm here on a regular inspection. Get your permit and production license, and show me!"Sebastian glanced at his uniform and said, "Since when has the Department of Health been in charge of pharmaceutical factory permits?" "The FDA has the right to ask, surely?" Rory walked over to Sebastian, hands clasped behind his back. His gaze swept over him as he said coldly, "You must be this factory owner. Show us the permit!""Who are you?" Sebastian looked Rory up and down. "I'
Wasn't Sebastian only a consultant of Arctic Snow Group? Even if they did trample him to death, what could he do? After all, Rory had the support of the whole Gulliver family! Was there anything the Gullivers couldn't settle in Sartvale? Trey turned pale as he watched the permit being torn to shreds. He turned and ran toward the office, but someone stuck their foot out and sent him sprawling with a thump. He didn't even have time to turn back and see who had tripped him. He scrambled up from the ground and ran swiftly toward the office. He had taken the military permit from Fitz. Tearing up a military permit was a crime punishable by death. They could be shot dead! Trey did not dare to conceal it without reporting it. Rory watched Trey run off to the office. He grinned gleefully and said, "Did you see that? He was scared shitless! It must be a fake permit!" Jake glanced at the dazed Trey and was even more sure that the permit Sebastian had produced must be fake. "Sebastia
Jake trembled as he said, "I'm Jake Bullen from the Department of Health! We're just following orders.""Following orders? What orders and who gave them?" Fitz's cold gaze swept over Jake and Rory's faces. "We came to ch-check the permit," Jake said after mustering up the courage. "Haven't we given you the permit already? Why did you rough him up?" Fitz asked, looking thunderous.Trey had run over to tell him that something was happening with the pharmaceutical factory, but he hadn't been told that the permit had been torn up. "P-Permit? Where?" Rory had been so scared that his mind had gone blank. He had completely forgotten about what had happened. "It's… It's the one you tore up!" Trey said, panting. "What?" Fitz's expression suddenly changed. He looked down and noticed the torn pieces of paper on the ground and immediately became furious. Glaring at Jake and Rory, he yelled, "Tell me! Which bastard tore that up? Step forward!"Everyone jolted with fright and simultaneo
"Who the hell did this!" Fitz was furious. The equipment they had bought was all of extremely high quality, and they were very expensive. He had brought over so many soldiers not just to protect the factory but also to protect the shipment of equipment and ensure that it remained undamaged.The men who had taken part in smashing up the machines fell to their knees in fear at once. They wailed, "It has nothing to do with us! It was Mr. Bullen and Mr. Woodsen who made us smash it!""Splash him awake!" Fitz's eyes were bulging with anger, and he was breathing heavily.Two soldiers splashed a huge bucket of water on Rory's face. He shuddered and woke up. "Tell me honestly! Who told you to smash it up?" Fitz said, pointing to the equipment next to them.The newly-awaken Rory turned to look at the equipment behind him, and he hastily pointed at Jake. "It was Jake who gave the command to smash it! He even said that if anything big happened, he would take responsibility!"Jake was utt
"Yes, they've all been shot dead. Even the law enforcement team that went with them are all… all dead," his assistant said. Cold sweat was pouring off him like rain."Sebastian! How could he be so bold? Connect me to the may—"Before Marcel could finish speaking, Liam walked into his office with two military officers wearing the uniform of a major. There was also a man in a suit with a badge pinned to his chest."Are you Marcel Lyme?" Liam asked, his expression frosty. Marcel looked Liam and the others up and down and said, "Yes… I-I am. Who are you?"The man in the suit went up to him and said, "Hello, Mr. Lyme. I'm from the Investigation Department. There are some things I'd like to find out more about from you. Please come with us.""What? What do you want with me? I haven't made any mistakes, have I?" Marcel asked fearfully, trembling.He could not understand why they had come looking for him. Besides, what were the three officers behind him doing?Even if he had offended
Blake commanded a few Warrior League apprentices to load the Medcroft Cauldron into the car before gesturing politely to Sebastian. "After you, Mr. Ballard."Sebastian said goodbye to Belinda before getting in. Afterward, he handed Blake a bottle of Gold Remedy. "How are your injuries?"Blake shook his head. "I'm fine. However, you need to be careful after getting back, Mr. Ballard. I'm afraid that the Yutarian Warriors aren't going to let things go so easily."Sebastian hadn't been well-known before, but after what happened in the arena, his name had spread fast. "Don't worry. Let them come if they want to," Sebastian said, smiling slightly.…When Sebastian carried the Medcroft Cauldron into the convenience store, Nina and Lyanna both turned to look at him."There's something strange about this cauldron," Lyanna said, frowning. She could sense a frightening tendril of energy from it. It was an ancient, powerful object that was very mysterious, and it clashed with her ghostl
The Yutarians would be very likely to try and penetrate the three divine mountains to find the Reincarnation Pill if they were unable to find anything in other places.The Warriors that had been sent to Steinberg were probably only a distraction.Steinberg was just a small city, after all, and Sartvale was just a small state in Dramon that didn't have many legends in its history.The three divine mountains were different. Every single mountainous region contained countless legends and stories.The Medcroft had been named as the place where the Way of Wisdom had originated.Norlyn was named the home of deities.Meanwhile, Caela was called the gate to paradise. Even in the present day, there had been no one who had managed to explore the three divine mountains thoroughly. No one could reveal the secrets of those three divine mountains either."Madam Dragon, do you mean that we should delay them or destroy them here in Steinberg while we also send someone to keep an eye on the th
The losses they had suffered that night were too severe. More importantly, they had offended Jorvahn.Giovanni felt that there had been nothing wrong with his plan. The only mistake they had made was in allowing Saul to escape, which resulted in the entire thing getting exposed."Mr. Conti!" Luigi's voice came from the doorway as Giovanni was wiping down the blade."Please come in, Mr. Coppola," Giovanni said as he continued to wipe down the Yutarian saber.The door was pushed open, and Luigi walked into the room. When he saw that Giovanni was actually wiping down his Yutarian saber, his eyes widened."Mr. Conti, are you…"Giovanni smiled bitterly and said, "It's what our superiors want. I'm sure that someone will come and take over for me tomorrow morning."He sighed deeply.Luigi hastily pressed Giovanni's hand and said, "Mr. Conti, this has nothing to do with you. This is all due to my negligence."Giovanni shook his head slightly and said, "That is no longer important. How
Belinda nodded slightly and said, "Hold grand funerals for those who are dead and take care of their families.""Yes, Madam," Blake replied. He looked stern as he waved at the Warrior League apprentices. They all quickly picked up the corpses of the Warrior League apprentices on the ground and carried them into the cars.Someone took out gasoline and poured it over the assassins.Sebastian lit a cigarette and took a few drags. He then flung it at the pile of corpses.As flames roared into the air, Blake said coldly, "Get into the cars and let's go!"The procession of cars began driving toward Ventus Estate. …After Luigi had managed to escape, he stopped a few miles away. The assassins who had followed him slowly gathered together.After counting the people present, Luigi couldn't help sighing heavily. Out of over 300 assassins, almost half of them were dead. How was he going to explain this to Giovanni?"Warrior League!" Luigi clenched his fists viciously."Mr. Coppola, m
Blake was shocked to see that the apprentice had been killed right in front of his eyes. He waved quickly to his right and left.There was the sound of doors opening and closing as over 200 Warrior League apprentices jumped out of the cars.The rustling sound in the woods could be heard from either side of them."The assassins have caught up!" Saul said nervously.Although he was very confident in Sebastian's skills, he was still only one person. The Warrior League had more people, but the assassins were in the shadows. It was a disadvantageous situation for the Warrior League.There was a sharp whistling noise as countless throwing spikes shot out of the woods. Several Warrior League apprentices fell to the ground."Turn off the car headlights!" Sebastian shouted at the Warrior League members.All the car headlights were turned off at once, and it became pitch-black. Sebastian opened the car door softly and leaped into the woods. There was the crunch of bones breaking, and
"They're afraid that the Juwanian King Jorvahn will lead a force to Dramon and affect their plans. That's why they wanted to kill everyone. Their goal is to find the Reincarnation Pill in Dramon," Belinda said as she analyzed the situation.Sebastian frowned, deep in thought. Soon, he nodded in agreement.That was the only explanation that made sense.Otherwise, there was really no reason for the Yutarian Warriors to slaughter all the Yvantonian Warriors when there was no grudge between them."They killed all of my people. As long as you keep me safe, I'll tell King Jorvahn about everything that happened here. I can guarantee that King Jorvahn will destroy all of them, and he won't hold you responsible," Saul said urgently to Sebastian and Belinda. Sebastian and the Warrior League were Saul's last hope. They were still more than ten miles away from the city, and it would be impossible for him to flee there if he had to run. Besides, the enemy would be sure to chase after him if
A few other Warrior League apprentices went up to them. When they were close enough, one of them asked coldly, "What are you shouting about in the middle of the night?"Saul looked fearfully at them and asked, "Where's Mr. Ballard? I want to see him! Something huge has happened!"He was very pale, and he looked extremely afraid. The Warrior League apprentices frowned, and one of them immediately took out his phone to call Blake.Upon hearing Blake's voice, the apprentice told him about how Saul had run over to them to ask for help.Blake nodded and said, "Don't hang up yet. Let me ask Madam Dragon."Blake hurriedly rolled down the window and waved a hand at the cars behind him, indicating for them to stop temporarily."Madam Dragon, Yvanton's team leader has come to ask for help, and he bumped into some of our men who were fixing their car. Do you think…"Belinda and Sebastian were both startled. Sebastian had just killed Jorvahn's grandson, and now Saul had come to ask them
"That's right! This time, we must find the Reincarnation Pill!" said another Warrior.If Jorvahn did turn up in Dramon, the Yutarian Warriors would be wiped out by him. Yutaria had sent over 300 Warriors this time, not just to defeat Dramon's Warriors in the arena. They had an even more important mission. They had to stay in Dramon and find the Reincarnation Pill!There were only less than three years until the day when their ancestral god would be restored. The ancestral god would remain asleep forever if they couldn't get the Reincarnation Pill back within those three years.At that time, the islands of Yutaria might even sink into the sea because of the ancestral god's deep slumber. This was a secret that Yutaria had hidden for thousands of years."Kill them all so they won't have a chance to spread the news!" Giovanni finally made up his mind after hesitating for a while."Yes, sir!" The Warriors straightened up simultaneously and bowed to Giovanni.Luigi waved a hand
The news of how Jorvahn's grandson had been chopped into mincemeat and fed to dogs caused a commotion in the family at once.However, Dramon was too far away, and they didn't know enough about the situation there. Even though they wanted revenge, they would have to wait for the visiting team to return to Yvanton before they could gain more information and form a plan.…On the way back to the city, Belinda was worried for Sebastian and said, "Mr. Ballard, although there's nothing wrong with killing the grandson of the Juwanian King Jorvahn, chopping the two into mincemeat and feeding them to the dogs was a little inappropriate."She didn't just have connections with the high-level officials of Dramon, but she also had many friends in the international martial arts community. However, she had never had any dealings with Jorvahn before.Jorvahn had a terrible reputation in both Yarroland and Velkashan. He was extremely hard to deal with, and it wasn't because he was capable. It was
