"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
"What did you say?" Marcel had assumed that the worst that could happen would be that he would be arrested and sentenced. However, when Liam said that someone would die, Marcel was aghast."After we've verified your actions, we'll execute you by gunshot within three days! This is an order from above!" Liam said and turned around. He didn't even want to look at Marcel again.Marcel burst into loud laughter as he wailed. "The Gullivers! Kelvin Gulliver! They were the ones who did this to me! Even if I become a ghost, I'll never forgive them!""Oh? Is this related to the Gullivers?" Liam asked impassively as he turned to look at Marcel. "Yes! It does have something to do with them!" Marcel wiped away the tear stains on his face and sobbed, "I'm willing to tell you everything I know. Can you please spare my life?"Liam shook his head slightly and sighed, saying, "A military order is as immovable as a mountain. However, if you behave well, we can hide your crimes from society so that
Rosalie glared at the security guard and picked up the scattered flowers from the ground.Although Rosalie had grown up in a wealthy family, she understood how difficult life was for those on the lowest rung of the social ladder. Anyone who had to sell flowers on the street on a festive day must be doing it because they were forced to do so and had no choice.It must be true for the little boy in front of them. He was so young, but he was helping his family share the burden of raising him. He was so thoughtful that it made their hearts ache."Exactly! You only need to chase him off. Did you have to hit him?" Whitney frowned, looking displeased.She had watched the rain pouring down outside while the unfortunate child was kicked to the ground by the security guard. His clothes were drenched!She hastily bent down and helped the little boy up."How dare you be so arrogant?" Zane said. He slapped the security guard before turning toward Sebastian and said, "Mr. Ballard, please wait
The force of the bullet hitting Rosalie made her roll forward several feet. A pained expression flashed across her face, but even when she hit the ground, she was still pointing at the security guard behind Sebastian."Rosalie!" Sebastian roared. He shot forward and caught her in his arms. When he saw the red, flower-like bloodstain on the back of her snow-white coat, he felt as if his heart had been pierced by a thousand arrows.The security guard who had fired the gun looked shocked when he realized that he had not managed to kill Sebastian.By the time he pulled the trigger again, Sebastian seemed to disappear into thin air. Right after that, an agile figure appeared in front of the security guard. He tried to turn the gun, but Sebastian kicked him in the chest.The security guard barreled backward and crashed against the wall behind him, as if he was a bullet that had just been fired out of a gun.The crash made him feel as if his upper body had gone completely numb, but he
Zane glanced at the gunman, who was lying dead in the corner, and at the unmoving boy, who was lying on the ground in the distance. He hesitated but still started the engine quickly.Whitney climbed into the car and sat in the passenger seat. She turned and said to Sebastian, "How's Ms. Griffin?""I've only temporarily stopped the bleeding. I'm not sure if her internal organs were injured or not, so we must get back as quickly as we can so that I can treat her wound," Sebastian said in a slightly choked voice.He had never imagined that Rosalie would take a bullet for him without any thought for her own life. He looked down at Rosalie, who was lying unconscious in his arms, and he couldn't help but think about everything that had happened since they met.At first, he had treated her coldly and kept her at arm's length until he eventually came to accept her. Now, Rosalie was barely hanging on to life. Sebastian had finally realized that he already owed her too much. He was afraid
The burly officer frowned.After hesitating for a long time, he mustered up the courage to approach Sebastian and glance inside the car. When he saw that there really was a severely injured young woman inside, he frowned and asked, "What's going on?"Sebastian had no choice but to tell him simply about what had happened. Once he had heard Sebastian's account, the burly officer waved a hand at the dozen or so officers behind him and said, "Put your guns away. Clear a path and send the young lady in the car to the hospital at once. Hurry!"Sebastian said gratefully, "Thank you.""You're welcome. I'm very sorry. We received a report from someone about a murder, but we didn't expect you to be the victims."He added, "Hurry, time waits for no man. With police cars clearing a path, the journey will be much smoother." He saluted Sebastian and the others and sprinted back to his car.With the police cars clearing a way for them, the half-hour journey to Tranquil Hospital was shortened to
Aloysius was much calmer. Although the black-robed man was holding a knife against Orlando's throat, he didn't seem overly flustered. He looked calmly at the man and said, "I'm guessing that you have a grudge against Sebastian, too. Since we have the same goal, why don't we sit down and have a cup of hot tea?"Jeffrey nodded approvingly at Aloysius. He put his knife away and strode toward the sofa opposite the Gullivers, where he sat down."I guess it's true that experience counts for something. I'll get straight to the point. I'm from the Sanguis Cult. I believe you've heard of us, Mr. Gulliver Senior."Even Aloysius gasped at what Jeffrey had said.The Sanguis Cult was even more terrifying than the Slaughter Gods.If the Slaughter Gods were just an organization of murderers, then the Sanguis Cult could be said to be one of the newest, most evil martial arts sects that had popped up in the past couple of years. It was rumored to have accepted experts from all kinds of sects fro
Aloysius sighed heavily and said, "The Sanguis Cult is the kind of entity that we could never reach. Even the Slaughter Gods are wary of them!""However, when one door closes, another opens. Perhaps we can forge a connection with the Sanguis Cult through this incident with Sebastian. That would be a boon for our family too." Aloysius' serious expression softened as he smiled slightly.…That night, Gavin rushed to the hospital as soon as he could. When he saw Sebastian, he asked in concern, "Mr. Ballard, how is Ms. Griffin? If you need me to, I'll transfer the best medical equipment in Janover here right now."Sebastian waved a hand gently and said, "It's alright. Rosalie is out of danger. She'll wake up after resting for three days. However, those assassins didn't seem to be part of the Slaughter Gods."Gavin frowned and asked, "Mr. Ballard, do you mean to say that someone else was trying to assassinate you this time?"Gavin's phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was his deputy,
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
