Seeing how happily everyone was eating, Sebastian felt reassured enough to pick up his cutlery and say, "Come on, let's—"Before he could even start, he realized that there was barely any food left.Lila smiled and stood up, saying, "Wait a moment, Mr. Ballard. I'll tell the chef to serve some more food."When Lila had gone, Sebastian asked Liam, "What do you think?"Liam was busy stuffing a piece of herb-infused fish into his mouth and hadn't heard Sebastian's question at all. He nodded vigorously as he ate, saying, "It's good! It's great!""Have you been starving your entire life? We're talking about official business." Sebastian rolled his eyes at Liam.People who wolfed everything down were so annoying. Why hadn't they left him any food?"I'm sorry, Seb. I was hungry," Liam said, wiping away the sauce from his mouth.They had been busy all morning. Liam's appetite would not have been assuaged even if he'd eaten half the food on the table."I was asking you what you think a
Steinberg wasn't famous for any particular dish, which was why Maverick's eyes lit up when he saw the medicinal food on the menu.These dishes weren't just unique in Steinberg. They would be hard to find even in Sunway.During the meal, Maverick talked with the two wealthy young scions beside him about driving techniques and engine mechanics.While a waiter was serving a dish, he accidentally spilled some sauce on the clothes of one of the young women."You stained my clothes!" The young woman glared huffily at the waiter as she stood up in a hurry."I'm sorry! I didn't do it on purpose," the waiter apologized quickly to her."Is an apology enough? Do you know how much I paid for this? It cost 100 thousand!" The young woman didn't relent and continued berating the waiter. "Kneel and apologize!" Maverick didn't even look at the waiter as he continued to talk about racing with the two scions beside him. Seeing the waiter still standing there, Maverick suddenly shot to his feet
However, all that Maverick got in answer was a resounding slap.He didn't even see Sebastian attack. He only felt a powerful force slap him in the face before he was sent flying backward."How dare you hit me?" Maverick held his bruised and swollen face as he scrambled up from the floor and glared furiously at Sebastian."Let's forget about it, Maverick," Lyle Harris said. Seeing Sebastian's murderous look, he couldn't help feeling his heart jolt. It was clear that Sebastian did not fear the Coltranes at all.Maverick could fight fairly well. After all, the Coltranes were very wealthy and had hired the best martial arts teacher in the state to teach Maverick, and he had been learning since he was a child. Thus, Maverick was already at the martial arts Grandmaster level despite his young age.However, he hadn't even been able to dodge Sebastian's slap before being sent flying at once. It was clear that Sebastian was more powerful than they had thought.That was why Lyle was tryi
"My mentor is Barney Litton, and my name is Emmett Channing. I'm his senior apprentice! If you had any tact at all, you'd do as I say. Otherwise, today will be the day you die!"Barney Litton?At the mention of this name, several of the patrons immediately looked stricken!Barney was a famous Supreme Grandmaster from Steinberg!He was known for being ruthless. Once, he had broken Hans' cousin's legs because he had provoked one of Barney's personal apprentices. However, Hans had no choice but to suppress his anger and accept what had happened.Emmett had assumed that mentioning his name would have been enough to scare Sebastian and the others. But Sebastian and Liam only grinned disdainfully—they didn't look scared at all."Let me try it out." Hamish swaggered over. He was built like a tower., and he suddenly threw a punch. Emmett's lips curved upward slightly. He smiled disdainfully and met Hamish's punch with one of his own.Their fists collided, and there was a loud crack.
Sebastian pressed Emmett on the floor, and the latter spat out a mouthful of blood.To outsiders, it only seemed that his legs had been broken.However, Emmett knew that Sebastian's huge hand on his shoulder was exerting a force that was breaking every single meridian in his body.Emmett was filled with regret. He shouldn't have offended such a person.He had assumed that at the mention of Barney, Sebastian and the others would have had no choice but to swallow their anger.Even if Hamish had broken one of his arms, Emmett would still have come out of it looking good.Who would've thought that this would be the result? Even if he regretted it, what could he do about it?"I should have let it go for Mr. Coltrane Senior's sake, but unfortunately, you were the reason that this happened. You should kneel too," Sebastian said. He moved like a phantom, leaving only a shadow behind. In the blink of an eye, he had popped up in front of Maverick. Maverick was thoroughly dumbfounded.
"What?" Barney hit the armrest of his chair, his mustache quivering with anger.Emmett was one of his most prized apprentices, and he had joined the sect at the age of seven. Barney had trained him personally. However, Emmett was inexperienced and not skilled enough, which was why Barney had warned him to be humble and to be cautious in everything that he did.However, Emmett was used to getting his way by using Barney's name, which Barney had turned a blind eye to.Everyone in society or fellow martial arts practitioners would be sure to be lenient on Emmett for Barney's sake. Now, he was incensed to hear that Emmett had gotten his legs broken."Calm down, Mr. Litton. Let's go and see what's going on." Dexter didn't dare to delay for a single moment. He dragged Barney outside. When they arrived at the Royal Café, the patrons were all gone. Only Maverick and Emmett were left kneeling at the entrance.Maverick was in slightly better shape, as he'd only gotten his legs broken.
"Seb, I'll do it!" Liam said. He took off his jacket and got ready to attack.Sebastian grabbed Liam. Both Liam and Hamish would have a high chance of winning against Emmett, but Barney was a different story. Ten Emmetts wouldn't have been a match against Barney.Liam might be able to get into a draw with Barney after ten more years of training, but right now, Barney might very well kill Liam within ten moves."Go and take care of Hamish. Just leave this old coot to me." As Sebastian spoke, he moved like a flash of lightning, leaving only a shadow behind. Barney had been feeling perfectly smug, but he couldn't help gasping when he saw Sebastian's phantom-like moves. A technique like that was the stuff of legends. Barney had never seen it in person until that moment. The shadow left behind was because Sebastian had moved so fast that the human eye couldn't even react fast enough.Barney had been planning to back away so that he was against the wall. If he did so, no matter how
"Seb—no, Mr. Ballard…" Dexter had just called out to Sebastian when he realized that he had to be more polite. He had always called Sebastian by name before, but this time, he changed it."You don't have to be so polite, Mr. Coltrane Senior. Your grandson was the one who made a mistake, not you," Sebastian said, smiling at Dexter. He had noticed that Hamish's complexion was slowly getting better.Realizing that Sebastian wasn't planning to cause the Coltranes any trouble, Dexter breathed a sigh of relief.As for Maverick, Dexter wouldn't intervene no matter how Sebastian decided to deal with him."He hit my lobby manager just now. I hope that the Coltranes can give me a satisfactory resolution for this." Sebastian pointed at Lila."You've brought shame on this family!" Dexter roared. He slapped Maverick, who felt so wronged that he wished he was dead. Sebastian had broken his legs, and he had expected Dexter to come and avenge him.However, the opposite had happened. Dexter had
