The middle-aged man was named Artie Morrison. He glanced toward the pharmaceutical factory from time to time. He was obviously waiting for someone.After about ten minutes, a young woman in business attire walked quickly out of the front doors of the pharmaceutical factory. She looked to either side and hurried into an alley down the street when she was sure that no one had noticed her. The woman was Lisa Lovell, and she was the manager of the factory's production hall."Have you investigated thoroughly?" Artie asked in a low voice as he looked around warily. "Yes. The Whitney that you're looking for is probably the 'Ms. Sutton' that the factory manager talked about," Lisa answered in a low voice. "Will you be able to lure her to the mouth of the alley?" Artie asked as he pointed at an even smaller alley in the distance."I'll try my best. After all, I'm only the manager of the production hall. It won't be easy to think of a reason," Lisa said reluctantly. "You can't just tr
Whitney frowned slightly as she glanced at Lisa. She could see that there was something odd in Lisa's expression.She said quickly, "Don't hide it from me. Is your mother very ill? How about I call Sebastian right now so that he can go with you to have a look?" As Whitney spoke, she pulled out her phone and called Sebastian. She told him about Lisa's situation and instructed him to help her no matter what. After all, Lisa was the manager of the production hall, and her main responsibility involved production. If she became distracted because of such a small issue, it would be sure to affect the first batch of drugs that would be handed over to the military. "I'll take him to see her tomorrow, and I'll drive both of you to the hospital together. He's already promised to treat her," Whitney said, smiling."How could I accept that, Ms. Sutton?" Lisa's frown tightened. She felt so ashamed that she didn't dare to look Whitney in the eyes."Oh, it's nothing. Don't think too much, an
If they could follow the trail and get rid of the Sanguis Cult's den in Sartvale, it would be a fitting revenge for Gavin's fallen comrades. "No. I'd better go over to Whitney's," Rose said as she stood up. She slipped her dagger and a few blades into her sleeves.Rose had been the first person Sebastian had thought of, but he hadn't been able to bring himself to ask her to go and protect Whitney. Rose had a natural advantage. As she was a woman, it would be perfectly convenient for her to be with Whitney at all times. Sebastian also trusted Rose's capabilities in stalking and deception, so he nodded and said, "That would be the best. However…" He paused before saying, "It would be better to take them alive.""I'll do my best!" Rose said as she walked out. Not long after she left, Sebastian received a call from the sanatorium. Liam said heavily over the phone, "Seb, my grandfather is kicking up a fuss about taking your medicinal potion. He won't even listen to the doctor no
Sebastian nodded and smiled at Wyatt in greetings. Wyatt finally sat down in his chair and said, "Well, tell me why I can't drink alcohol.""Of course you can. Why not?" Sebastian chuckled."Seb!" Liam shot him a meaningful look. "Liam, Mr. Holman Senior is allowed to drink alcohol. Things that are pungent are good for the lungs, and alcohol can help. Why shouldn't he drink it?" Sebastian explained to Liam. "Sebastian, your medical skills are as advanced as ever. What you said makes sense. Come, let's shake hands. After that, we must have a few drinks together." Wyatt got up and shook Sebastian's hand heartily. Sebastian was his savior! That bunch of doctors in white coats had all refused to allow him to drink. Sebastian was the only one who supported him, so Wyatt immediately thought of him as a close friend. "Mr. Ballard, is Mr. Holman Senior really allowed to have alcohol in his condition?" Jonah asked worriedly."Yes, but he's only allowed to have elderflower wine. Add s
Liam also put down his glass and stared intently at Wyatt.Wyatt's stance represented the entire Holman family. If Wyatt gave his support, Liam could forge ahead without any worries. "As long as it's related to the Sanguis Cult, then kill them! Rid us completely of that evil!" Wyatt said through gritted teeth, clenching his fists."I understand," Liam said, nodding heavily. "You don't have to worry about the Sloanes. I'm an old man, but I have some favors to call in among the higher-ups. "If they dare to stand with the Sanguis Cult, then it means that they are openly standing against me and my old pals, and all of Crestborne. You don't need to show any mercy to those who betray their people!" Wyatt's steely voice echoed in the hall.He added, "However, there's one more thing. You must not kill the innocent. You need to have evidence for everything." After all, the Sloanes were not an ordinary family. That was why they would have to have an airtight plan with clear evidence.
As night fell, Arctic Snow Group's pharmaceutical factory slowly emptied. There were only a few security guards on the night shift who were left."Ms. Sutton, please wait," Lisa stuck her head out of her office and called out as Whitney walked out of the office."What is it?" Whitney asked, stopping in her tracks. "Ms. Sutton, I just want to thank you. Shall we have dinner together?" Lisa asked. She took her trench coat down from the rack and came out of her office. She could have gone home hours ago, but she had stayed in the office to wait for Whitney to come out."It's alright. I'm going to eat at home." Whitney smiled at her. She hadn't seen Sebastian for days, and she did miss him a little. For some reason, ever since she had started living together with Sebastian again, memories of their marriage together had kept flashing up in her mind."Ms. Sutton, I also have a few questions that I'd like your advice on," Lisa said. She took out a document folder and held it out to
"Whitney, was that woman from your factory? It doesn't seem like it," Zane asked as he drove."She's the manager of the production hall. She just wants to buy me a meal," Whitney answered, sounding slightly annoyed."Whitney, you've got to be wary of her," Zane said seriously."What do you mean by that?" Whitney was irritated. Firstly, Zane had scared her half to death and had insisted that she leave quickly, and now he was meddling in her relationships with her colleagues at the factory.Even Sebastian didn't try to interfere with these things. So, what right did Zane have to try and interfere?"Later, that woman—" Zane still did not know how to address Rose."Which woman?" Whitney said angrily, looking impatient. "The female assassin. When she gets back, you'll know why," Zane explained hurriedly."Her?" Whitney couldn't help frowning."Yes. Actually, Seb wasn't the one who asked me to come and pick you up. It was her. She told me to bring you home and wait for her there."
Rose giggled and played with her hair. Her fingers found the blade hidden in her collar, and she held it tightly between her index finger and middle finger.One of the men approached her, and her slender fingers brushed lightly across his neck. From a distance, it looked as if Rose was embracing him, but when she moved her hand away from his neck toward another one of the men in the army fatigues, the first man fell to the ground, clutching his neck.She had cut his windpipe with frightening accuracy in just one slash, but she had not cut open any blood vessels. The first man stopped breathing without shedding a single drop of blood.In just the blink of an eye, five men had fallen. Artie was aghast, and he quickly reached for the gun around his waist. However, he had only just pulled out the gun when he felt a chill on his wrist. His entire right hand had been cut off, and the gun fell into Rose's hand."How can a bunch of losers like you try to commit murder?" Rose toyed with
Cohen looked rather troubled as he said, "I'm not sure how to say this, Mr. Ballard. Please come to the Martial Arts Court, and you'll understand!"Sebastian nodded slightly and said to Unus, "Let's go!"As Candy watched Sebastian walk off, she felt as if her heart had been torn apart.Sebastian was so powerful! Why hadn't he said so earlier?Didn't men like showing off their strength and power in front of women? Why had he kept hiding his powers from her?If she had known earlier about how strong Sebastian was, she wouldn't have thought twice about giving herself completely to him."What should we do, Ms. Candy?" one of her bodyguards asked. They could no longer live in that villa when over 100 people had died in the yard. They had to move as soon as possible. Clearly, the villa was now a cursed place.Candy hesitated for a moment before calling one of her best friends. …When Sebastian was invited into the Martial Arts Court, he saw over a dozen corpses at the entrance an
Unus finally stopped fighting with the Lynches and revealed his true form. A humongous snake with black scales and a dragon's head that was close to 300 feet tall reared up into the sky. His bloody maw opened gently, and a strong suction force immediately pulled everyone in the Lynch family."Huh? What's that?" Maclin almost wet his pants in fright. It was a dragon!However, upon closer inspection, something didn't seem right. Dragons had four talons, but Unus' true form did not have any. Its body was smooth and pitch black, but it had the head of a dragon. It looked as if a dragon had been grafted onto a snake, or the other way around.It looked very strange, and there was a cursed energy emanating from it that sent a chill down everyone's spine.Unus' slightly open mouth was like a strong vacuum. The apprentices of the Lynch family were all sucked up into mid-air before falling right into his mouth. In a moment of distraction, Bartemius was also sucked up into the air.
Daxton collapsed and lay on the floor, convulsing violently.In the blink of an eye, over half of the Lynches' apprentices had been swallowed up by Unus.Bartemius stared at Unus in shock. He had swallowed over 50 people alive. But why hadn't his stomach expanded at all?Both Calder and Maclin felt their hairs stand on end with fear. Based on his tongue, which stretched out for several feet, they could only surmise that Unus was some kind of snake.However, they had no idea what kind of snake would be so ferocious. The truth was that they were laughably wrong. Unus wasn't a snake at all. He was a Devora!Even if their mentor was there, he wouldn't have recognized something like that. After all, Devoras had only appeared three times in tens of thousands of years of history. The first time they appeared was when the six kingdoms had been united into one by the First Emperor.The second was during the time of the Nomad King, although it had been wrongly named as another kind of
Chandler had echoed the heart of all martial arts practitioners in Dramon for the past 5,000 years. Sebastian nodded and said, "As expected of a member of the Gladius Sect. You have very high morals. What a pity! It's a huge pity!"Chandler could hear Sebastian's determination in his voice. Even if the Lynches decided not to fight that night, Sebastian would still not forgive them."Is there no other way?" Chandler asked, turning to look at Sebastian.Sebastian shook his head slightly and asked Unus, "Aren't you hungry?"Unus' eyes lit up at once. That was the best news he had heard for the past few days!Bartemius looked at Sebastian in confusion. He didn't understand why he kept asking the burly man beside him whether or not he was hungry.Laurie stepped forward and pointed at Sebastian as he yelled, "Ballard, there are over 100 of us. Even if we only punch you one time each, we can turn you into mincemeat!""One punch each? You'd have to be able to throw out that punch firs
The law enforcement team all stared at Sebastian in shock. Was he going to kill more than 100 members of the Lynch family on his own?Maclin and Calder didn't doubt it at all. If Branson or Kody were here, the Lynches wouldn't be a match for them even if they all gathered together, but even the two of them working together had almost died by Sebastian's hand.If Sebastian wanted to slaughter the entire Lynch family, it would be a piece of cake. At that thought, Maclin and Calder had no choice but to retreat until they were out of the front yard, looking in from afar. When the law enforcement team saw that the Gladius Sect members had left meekly, they followed suit as well.Candy stared in disbelief at the others' retreating figure, looking dazed. She had thought that she knew Sebastian very well and that she was nothing compared to the entire Lynch family.However, reality had taught her a vivid lesson. She had severely underestimated Sebastian's abilities, as well as his infl
Sebastian looked at the three members of the Gladius Sect in the distance. "You three are all the successors of the Gladius Sect. I used to be at the same level as your seniors. We've interacted before, and I don't wish to kill you here. What happened today has nothing to do with you. It's not too late to leave right now!"After Sebastian had spoken, both Calder and Maclin were furious. How old did Sebastian think he was?How could he say that he was of the same level as their senior?"You may be young, but you're very arrogant. I'd like to ask you which senior of mine you know well," Maclin said, smiling coldly.Sebastian gave him a brief smile and said, "It's not just your seniors. If we were to discuss this in detail, I'd probably be on the level of your mystic tier seniors!""You little…" Maclin was about to lose his temper when Chandler stopped him. "Can you tell us what your name is?" Calder asked, looking impassively at Sebastian."Sword Fiend and Sword Zealot!" Sebasti
"Your prestige?"Cohen looked as if he had heard a joke. He laughed heartily and asked in a sardonic tone, "Does your family have any prestige at all? Was the antiques dealer in Longville waylaid and killed by people sent by Colton?""Also, anyone in the antique street who get a good item will have their entire family slaughtered if they refuse to sell the item to you Lynches at a low price! Do you really think that I'm both deaf and blind? Every single person in the Lynch family has hands stained with blood!"Cohen paced back and forth as he counted all the crimes the Lynches had committed. Once he had finished, even the members of the law enforcement team looked at them with hatred.Not only were they taking things that belonged to others, they were even destroying entire families. The worst thing was that they didn't even let three-year-old children go and had them chopped up into mincemeat.Were they even human?Although the apprentices of the Nine Sects were also arrogant, t
Bartemius huffed and said, "Revenge!""Revenge?" Cohen sneered and asked, "Mr. Lynch Senior, you did receive Mr. Wentworth's command, didn't you?"The moment Joaquin's order had been given, the new rule of the Martial Arts Court had been delivered to the various elite martial arts families. And the Lynches had been the first to be notified.Bartemius had no choice but to nod and said, "We have received it."Cohen nodded and said, "Alright. That's good. Don't you know what kind of crime it is to trespass on private property as a Warrior?"Bartemius took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He controlled his emotions with difficulty and said, "Mr. Gabbard, to tell you the truth, both my son and grandson were killed by this person!" He pointed at Sebastian.Cohen nodded slightly and said, "So what if that's true? I'm asking you where you are right now!"As he spoke, he pointed at the earth beneath his feet."This is the home of Ms. Candy!" Daxton interrupted.Bartemius glare
Bartemius was giving Laurie and Oswald a way out while also destroying all of Candy's expectations. "Old man, whether or not you believe it, I just want to tell you that Roman died at the hands of one of your own!" Sebastian said, grinning. Bartemius was about to explode with anger. Sebastian still looked as if he was enjoying a show. However, the thing was that Roman might actually have been killed by Laurie. The Lynches had always treated the six retainers well. If Roman really had been killed by Laurie, didn't that mean Bartemius had been supporting an enemy for all these years? "Hmph! We won't discuss the rest for now. Today, I only want to see you!" Bartemius shouted, pointing at Sebastian. As soon as he finished, the Lynches' apprentices all pulled out their swords. "Ballard, you won't escape justice today!""I am going to chop you into pieces today!" They hooted, looking as if they were ready to swallow Sebastian whole. "My lord!" Unus looked beseechingly at Se
