"You're at Level One of the Celestial stage. Why are you willing to be the Gullivers' lackey? Besides, the Gullivers no longer exist. Why are you so fixated on this?" Sebastian said as he continued to walk forward. He clearly didn't intend to stop.However, when he heard the old man mention his battle with Bianca five days ago, his heart sank involuntarily. Was the old man the person who had sent him the letter that day?"I am not associated with the Gullivers, and I didn't come on their behalf. Otherwise, I wouldn't have commanded someone to send you the secret letter five days ago. However, under any circumstances, you should not have been so harsh on Mr. Thompson." The old man's eyes grew colder."Sir, that was the Gullivers' fault. This has nothing to do with you. Besides, I bear no grudge against you, and I do not wish to hurt you," Sebastian said sincerely. Since the old man had tipped him off that day, he was clearly not an evil person. Sebastian was only vicious toward tho
Sebastian remained perfectly calm as he clamped two fingers around Lana's sword. He grinned at her.Lana felt as if her sword had melded into his hand. She couldn't pierce him with it, nor could she pull it away."Let go!" Lana was furious. She used all her strength and tugged it backward, but she hadn't expected Sebastian to cooperate! He released the sword at once, but she had pulled it back so violently that she ended up stumbling several steps backward before falling flat on her backside. "Lana!" Nate rushed over to help her up. Lana's face had turned bright red, and she hid behind Claude in shame and humiliation. Before coming, she had thought dismissively that Sebastian would kill himself as soon as he saw them. However, she had been completely wrong. Sebastian had only had to move his fingers to get rid of her."Sir, I don't think these two are up to much. If we have to fight, why don't you and I battle against each other?" Sebastian said to Claude, smiling.Claude frown
That meant that Sebastian's skill was far above Claude's. Besides, Sebastian had only thrown out a very casual punch. He hadn't used all his strength at all.That shocked Claude even more. If Sebastian had put all his strength into it, he would've killed Claude with that punch."Mr. Sheridan!" Lana and Nate shouted and hurried to help Claude up.Claude waved quickly at them and forced himself to endure the churning energy in his organs as he said, "The new generation is to be feared. Who is your mentor, my young friend?""I cannot reveal the name of my mentor," Sebastian said, smiling slightly. "With training like yours, why did you kill Barnabas? He was no match for you at all," Claude said, clutching his chest."He deserved to die," Sebastian said coldly."How dare you!" Nate said angrily as he pointed at Sebastian. Sebastian slapped him and said in an icy tone, "If it weren't out of respect for this old gentleman, both of you would be cold corpses by now. If you say anothe
Rose had already reached the entrance to The Elysium, but there was a sign which showed that it was closed. The entrance seemed deserted.In a luxurious private room on the third floor, Winston knelt in front of Tyler. He was bruised and battered."Mr. Tyler, do you think that those people got killed by their old enemies?" a man clad in black asked doubtfully.There had been over ten of them, and all of them had been lawless ruffians. Besides, they had been armed with guns. However, someone had killed them without a sound."I actually hope that it was an old enemy of theirs who murdered them." Tyler felt strangely uneasy.Those men had been his trump card. They had been the ones who had taken care of troublesome opponents for him for years. They were his last resort, and now they were all gone. How could he not hate Winston?"Damn it! I told you again and again to be careful!" Tyler said as he slapped Winston again."Mr. Tyler, I did as you said. Who would've thought that they w
As soon as Tyler finished speaking, ten guns instantly pointed at Sebastian and Rose. However, just as Tyler thought that they would kill Sebastian for sure, both Sebastian and Rose suddenly disappeared right in front of his eyes. The black-clad men who were holding the guns were startled, but before they could react, they felt a chill on their wrists as a white figure flashed past them. They stared as their hands thumped onto the floor, still holding the guns. "Aargh!""My hand!" The rest of the men had their broken, while all their guns ended up with Sebastian. "Tyler, your men don't seem to be very useful." Sebastian tossed the dozen or so guns onto the table and looked calmly at Tyler.Tyler stared at the guns on the table in a daze and swallowed with difficulty. He finally understood why Sebastian had been bold enough to come alone. His exceptional skill was what made him bold."Mr. Ballard, how do you think we should resolve the issue between us?" Tyler had lost his do
Tyler was sweating profusely from the pain, and he could no longer speak. He could only muster up the strength to nod and grunt in reply to Sebastian's question."Thanks. Take care of your injuries." Sebastian patted Tyler on the shoulder and left the room with Rose."Why didn't you kill him?" Rose asked in confusion as they walked off. People like Tyler were very likely to seek revenge in the future. It would be better to get rid of him completely rather than let someone potentially harmful survive. "After killing Tyler, there will be others like him. Would it be of any use? Besides, leaving Tyler alive can act as a good example for all the thugs in Sunway," Sebastian said, smiling."What should we do about Hunter?" Rose asked without thinking. He was the real mastermind. If they didn't get rid of him, the trouble would not stop."He'll deliver himself to us." Sebastian seemed to remember something, and he turned and said to Rose, "Have you heard of someone named Gordon Baxter
"Oh, you're here to see… Mr. Ballard?" Zane raised his voice by a few decibels on purpose. "Please sit down. I'll go and notify him." With that, he hurried into the elevator and went up to the top floor.Before long, Sebastian walked out of the elevator and smiled at Isabel, saying, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Ms. Jiminez.""Let's go, Mr. Ballard. I've reserved a spot at Destiny Café for us. We still have 20 minutes, so we should be able to make it," Isabel said, smiling as she shook hands with Sebastian. She was always punctual, and she could be accurate down to the minute when it came to the time. That was one of the good habits she had kept up over many years."Shall I ask Ms. Griffin to come?" Sebastian asked.Time was more precious than gold to powerful businesswomen like Isabel. She wouldn't just buy someone a meal for no reason. She might have heard some news on the grapevine and also wanted to collaborate with the army by becoming a shareholder in their project. S
"Yes. As always, you're the one I can trust to do things, Isabel." Marissa finally let out a smile."What is the issue you currently wish to fix, Marissa?" Sebastian asked as he took a sip of scented tea.Marissa pointed at the freckles on her face and said, "My face. As you know, I was once pregnant. After miscarrying, the blemishes on my face should have disappeared, but they've been like that for almost ten years."The older a woman was, the more she cared about her appearance. That was because they knew very well that they were no longer young. If they didn't pay more attention to skincare, they would age very quickly. Marissa had a very thick layer of makeup plastered on her face. Despite that, her blemishes could still be seen faintly. She was only average-looking at best, and she could not be deemed naturally beautiful at all. The scars on her face made her even less attractive.To a woman in upper-class society, the state of their face was very important and was the fou
