Chapter 1276

Author: Wendell Mayhew
"Jaxon Lark?" Rosalie turned and looked at the man in the blue suit in surprise.

"It's been a while, Rosalie," Jaxon said. He stretched out his arms, as if he was getting ready to give her a hug.

"It's been a while indeed." Rosalie hastily stuck her hand out to shake hands with him and maintain a safe distance.

Jaxon had no choice but to shake hands with her awkwardly.

"Aren't you doing business abroad, Mr. Lark? What are you doing in Sartvale?" Rosalie asked, frowning.

The Larks were involved in international trade and the supermarket business. They were wealthy even by Janover standards.

Jaxon had had a crush on Rosalie since middle school. He had been sent abroad to study in his second year of high school, and ended up staying on to build his career there.

"My family asked me to come back and help out. We're planning to open a big mall in Sartvale soon, as well as a few franchised supermarkets, so I gave up the opportunities I had there and came back to help," Jaxon said rat

    Tears rolled down Rosalie's cheeks as she spoke.Sebastian was flabbergasted. What was going on?""Last night? I didn't sleep with you last night," Sebastian said, looking wronged."Then it must have been the day before yesterday. We slept together that night."Sebastian was rendered speechless by what Rosalie had said. The day before yesterday, he really had slept with Rosalie because she had forcefully requested him to do so.Jaxon was furious as he stood there and listened to Rosalie and Sebastian bickering back and forth like a couple!"Rosalie must be blind! How could she have feelings for a petty, ungrateful guy like you?" Jaxon said angrily. He had turned pale with fury and was pointing at Sebastian. He wasn't angry because Sebastian had been unfaithful. He was angry that a guy like that had slept with his dream woman!When he'd heard Rosalie say so, Jaxon felt as if he'd been struck by lightning. He would have liked nothing better than to kill Sebastian to vent his hat

    Jaxon turned and walked down the escalator. As Rosalie watched him leave, she burst into laughter. Sebastian rolled his eyes at her and said, "You are such a drama queen. Don't you think that was much too convincing?"Rosalie giggled and said, "Who said that I was acting? I did sleep with you.""I…" Sebastian could not think of anything to say to her. He felt dizzy and regretted making an impulsive decision at the time."We were sleeping together fully clothed!" he protested."Did you want to take my clothes off?" Rosalie looked fearfully at Sebastian.Sebastian was rendered speechless. He rolled his eyes but could not think of anything to say. Women, particularly smart women, would always have the advantage morally."Let's go, handsome. Let's eat." Rosalie took Sebastian's arm. Even the shop assistants in the neighboring shops were dumbstruck. Either Sebastian was much too charismatic, or Rosalie was a very good actress. They watched the two of them take the escalator do

    "Hello, Mr. Zohan." Rosalie went up to him quickly and shook hands with him. Paul Zohan glanced at the area Rosalie was in, and he said arrogantly, "Do you want to come and sit at my table?""No it's alright. I just popped in to have a look today. It doesn't matter where I sit." Rosalie declined Paul politely and sat back down next to Sebastian. "We don't seem to be very popular." Sebastian frowned and looked around. Every other area seemed to be better than theirs."Shh, keep your voice down." Rosalie pointed at the tables near the entrance and said, "Did you know that even the people who sit there are worth billions? Anyone who's attending this gala must belong to the upper class of Steinberg. Ordinary people can't even get in." Rosalie was making herself very clear. As part of the younger generation, or a young person who hadn't made a name for themselves yet, they were already being given respect by even being allowed to sit there. At least they were better off than those s

    Dexter and Wyatt were among them. Vince and Zeke were behind Barry Chesterton. All of them were talking and laughing as they headed straight for the round table in the center of the room."Look, that's the chief of police, Chief Weist. I heard that he's been very lucky recently and got himself a big case. Apparently he dealt with more than ten fugitives who were wanted for arrest, and he did it all in one go!" Hayden said, looking rather enviously at Vince. "I heard that Chief Weist is going to be transferred out of Steinberg because of those malicious events that took place recently," a young man in a black jacket like Sebastian's said curiously. Hayden looked rather triumphant as he said, "That's old history. You're not in the city department so you don't know about it, but Chief Weist has been on a roll lately.""Oh? Tell us about it," someone said curiously. "I heard that all 13 of those wanted for arrest were absolute scoundrels, but Chief Weist was right at the forefront

    "I heard my dad talking about it. It's very reliable information," Hayden said, looking very sure of himself."Be quiet." A person at a neighboring table frowned at Hayden, so he had no choice but to shut up. After Larys finished his speech, there was thunderous applause, and they moved on to making toasts. However, these weren't just any toasts. The round table in the center had been blocked off by security, and only a few of the VIP guest tables around them were allowed to go and make toasts there. A few people from the neighboring tables wanted to toast Dexter and Wyatt, but they were blocked by security.Ryder had gone up with his wine glass as well, but when he was stopped by security, he had no choice but to leave with his tail between his legs. "Only those who can go to that table to make a toast can really say they've made it!" Hayden gazed intently at the main table. "It's just a toast, isn't it? How difficult can it be?" Jaxon pulled on his collar and walked towar

    What if Sebastian really was an important figure? Wouldn't Hayden be missing an opportunity if he accidentally offended him?"He's a traditional medicine doctor who currently runs a convenience store. He's a BIG business owner!" Jaxon cut in sarcastically before Sebastian could answer. "You run a convenience store?" Hayden scoffed. "Are you joking, pal? Do you want to go and take Mr. Compton's pulse or are you going to promote nail clippers to him?"Everyone laughed scornfully. "A mere traditional medicine doctor wants to toast the mayor? There must be something wrong with your brain!" "I think he's obsessed with currying favor with him. Doesn't he know that they're from completely different worlds?""That's right! Who is this guy? Who brought him here? He's so out of it!" The women chattered.Rosalie's face burned slightly, and she tugged on Sebastian as she said, "Watch what you're saying. We're becoming the center of attention.""I don't know what to do." Sebastian sighed.

    Jaxon felt like he had swallowed a fly. He looked extremely grim."Larys, it doesn't matter where I sit. Besides, I wouldn't know what to say to all of you." Sebastian stood up and clinked glasses with Larys. The entire table was in a daze, especially the women who had been mocking Sebastian just a while ago. They regretted it deeply. If they'd known how important Sebastian was, they would have tried harder to flatter him.Compared to the boastful Hayden and the pompous Jaxon, Sebastian was clearly a prominent figure who was keeping a very low profile. Sebastian breathed a sigh of relief when Larys returned to the main table. At least they were pretty much done with the toasts. As for Dexter and Wyatt, they were so old that he was sure they wouldn't come over to toast him.Sebastian now felt very pressured, because almost everyone was staring at him. The people at neighboring tables were already beginning to speculate about who he was."Who is that guy?" "I bet he's a wealt

    Bernard, whom Jaxon was so proud of, had bowed to Sebastian and had proposed a toast for him. However, Sebastian had been dismissive of him.Everyone at the table looked at Jaxon with both contempt and compassion.Sebastian's lips barely touched the glass before he put it back on the table. "Alright! Thank you, Mr. Ballard. I'll get going." Bernard returned to the main table. His face had turned bright red."Mr. Lark, was that your uncle?" Hayden looked sympathetically at Jaxon."Your uncle didn't seem to have any plans to drink with you.""Is he really your uncle?""Do he and your dad have the same mother?""Does he dislike you?" Everyone at the table chattered simultaneously, making Jaxon turn bright red. He hung his head, unable to say a word.He hated Sebastian with a vengeance. Without him around, he would have gotten all the glory. He felt that there was only contempt and scorn in Rosalie's eyes when she looked at him. However, just as Jaxon was feeling completely h

    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

    "What did you do to them?" Saul asked fearfully at the sight of Caleb and Reuben's bloodshot eyes. The veins on their heads and necks were bulging. "I've heard that the man with the most willpower in the world can endure this for seven minutes. That's the limit for a human. I wonder whether these Juwanian beasts can break that record," Sebastian answered, clasping his hands behind his back and looked down at Caleb and Reuben.Caleb's body curled into a ball but stretched out all of a sudden as he continued to convulse on the ground.Reuben jolted from time to time, and in less than two minutes, he began bleeding from his ears and nostrils."You're crazy! You've gone mad! Pull out the silver needles on their bodies at once!" Saul was beside himself with anger. He shot forward to pull out the needles for Caleb and Reuben.However, although he moved fast, he was sent off even more quickly. Before he could even touch Caleb, Sebastian sent him flying with a kick.Saul rolled over the

    The most extreme pain in the world was the pain of bones breaking. Reuben had been lucky enough to experience that pain more than ten times within a very short period of time.If Sebastian hadn't pierced him with that needle, Reuben would have gone mad with the pain.However, no matter how much he struggled and yelled, Sebastian just acted as if he couldn't hear him. He continued to step all over Reuben's body impassively.Every time his foot landed on a spot, it was accompanied by the sound of bones cracking and shattering.The entire yard was silent except for the howling of the wind and the sound of Reuben's screams, as well as the shattering of his bones.As everyone watched him silently, even the Yvantonian Warriors who had tried to stop Belinda and the others previously couldn't help shuddering. They felt as if they were being tortured the way Reuben was. A female reporter squeezed out of the crowd and said in a trembling voice, "Oh, please! Please have mercy on him. He… H

    The hundreds of Yvantonian Warriors standing in the center of the yard couldn't help but gasp. Just how strong did Sebastian have to be to pull off Caleb's arm with his bare hands?Sebastian looked so thin and frail. He didn't look strong at all."You! Stop it right now!" Saul shouted, rushing forward to stop Sebastian.Before he reached Caleb, Sebastian turned sharply. There was a cold, murderous look in his eyes, and it frightened Saul so much that he skidded to a halt."Do you have anything to say?" Sebastian asked frostily. Saul swallowed and mustered up his courage. He yelled angrily, "You can't treat Caleb like that! He's the bishop's—"Before he could finish, Sebastian slapped him. There was a loud smack, and Saul was lifted off his feet with the force of it. He spun in the air before falling onto the ground."You're so noisy!" Sebastian dusted off his hands and turned to walk toward Reuben.Reuben had wet his pants in fear when he saw Sebastian pulling off Caleb's arm.
