"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
Sebastian shook his head slightly. From how Barney had acted when he left, Sebastian knew that he would be sure to try and get revenge in the future.Therefore, Sebastian felt no compassion in his heart at all.When the sun began to set, Hamish finally opened his eyes and sat up with great difficulty. He said, "I'm sorry, Seb. My carelessness has smeared your name."Sebastian smiled slightly and said, "You didn't smear my name at all. You did very well."He chuckled and gave Hamish a small black pill. He told him to take it as soon as possible.Although Hamish had taken Barney's antidote, there were still traces of poison left in his body. Without a poison-neutralizing pill, Hamish's arm might be crippled, even if he managed to survive.Afterward, Zane drove off with Liam and Hamish, and Sebastian returned to the Moonlyte Club alone. Meanwhile, Maverick was lying on a soft bed at Coltrane Estate. His injured legs were still bleeding. The pill that Sebastian had given Dexter c
Fabian only gave Marty a few instructions before hanging up.Marty looked at the address he'd written down on a note and frowned as he said, "Why does this club and convenience store sound so familiar?""Marty, haven't you heard of Dr. Ballard, the miracle doctor?" a man in black martial arts robes who was standing beside Marty asked in a low voice."Dr. Ballard?" Marty looked doubtfully at the man in black."It was broadcast live on television this morning. The one called Sebastian rescued that bus driver," the black-clad man explained."Hmph! A miracle doctor?" Marty picked up the note with the address on it and scoffed. "No one who offends the Coltranes in Sartvale ends up well. Go and arrange things. I don't want to see this convenience store again!"As for this club, let's take our time in thinking of a plan. In any case, we'll have to make this Ballard fellow remember us first!"The black-clad man frowned slightly and said, "Marty, this Ballard fellow seems to have connect
The black-clad man exchanged glances with the burly men behind him. They suddenly pulled out their daggers and lunged at Sebastian.They didn't dare betray their boss or the Coltranes. However, Sebastian was obviously not going to let them go.Therefore, they had no choice but to do their best to attack. If they could injure Sebastian severely or even kill him, they were sure that the Coltranes would be able to save their lives.When Sebastian saw that the men were charging toward him, he flicked his toe against the ground and kicked up a mass of sand and stones.The men shielded their faces instinctively. In that instant, Sebastian shot forward toward them.He raised his hand and gave a gentle push. Dirk Wallis, the black-clad man, immediately felt a powerful force crashing on his chest. He was sent flying several feet backward, and he fell heavily to the ground."Dirk!" The burly men beside him hastily helped him up. Dirk coughed violently. His lips were speckled with blood a
Sebastian had no wish to create any tension with the Coltranes. After all, he was also on fairly good terms with Harold.He had to give the Coltranes a chance to turn over a new leaf, even if it was only for Harold's sake.He hadn't expected the Coltranes to return the favor in this way. They had actually sent someone to burn his store!There were some mistakes that he could overlook, but some should never be committed.If Rose hadn't been recuperating at the store and sensed that something was wrong, the store would probably have gone up in flames."Mr. Ballard, we're telling the truth. We didn't hear everything they said on the phone clearly, but before we left, Marty said that the Coltranes were his support and that we didn't have to be afraid of anything. He said that himself," one of the burly men said loudly.Dirk was weak from his wound, and he was so angry that he fainted. "Take him and get lost!" Sebastian instructed as he pointed at the unconscious Dirk."We should t
