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
Dexter took the gas can and frowned slightly. He asked the people behind him, "Who did this? Step forward!"The Coltranes looked at each other with expressions of confusion.Only Fabian's eyes flickered. He cursed Marty for being unreliable. Not only had he allowed Sebastian to discover him, he had even given Fabian up.However, Fabian wouldn't admit it until there was no other choice.Dexter stood up in fury when he saw that no one wanted to admit to it. He said angrily, "Fabian! Was it you?"Fabian jumped in fright at Dexter's furious yell. He walked quickly out of the crowd and said, "Dad, it really wasn't me." He looked fearfully at Dexter.He couldn't understand why Dexter was so wary of Sebastian when they were on Coltrane territory. No matter how powerful Sebastian was, Lenny and the others had guns. Even if they were very agile, no one could move faster than a bullet.However, Fabian still relented in front of everyone.He had heard of Sebastian's skills, and he could
Dexter glanced at Sebastian and asked, "What do you think about that, Mr. Ballard?"Sebastian smiled slightly and said to Rose, "He says he doesn't remember sending anyone to set fire to anything. Why don't you help him jog his memory?"Rose glanced coldly at Marty and flicked out her throwing knife. There was a gleam as a six-inch-long knife plunged into Marty's arm."Aargh! Mr. Coltrane Senior, what do you mean by this?" Marty clutched his arm as blood flowed through his fingers."Sebastian! You are at Coltrane Estate! You'd better behave yourself!" Fabian said harshly as he walked out of the crowd and pointed at Sebastian."Fabian!" Dexter glared at Fabian and said, "This is none of your business. Stand back!"Lenny and the others reached around their waists, but they pulled their hands back again when they saw that Dexter had put a stop to it."Mr. Judder, this is just a gift for our first meeting. I'm going to give you one last chance. Will you speak up or not?" Sebastian s
"Mr. Coltrane Senior, you must give me an explanation," Sebastian said. He pulled out a cigarette and lit it, then took a drag and blew out a smoke ring."Mr. Ballard, about today…" Dexter had just brought his crippled grandson home that afternoon, and now he had to put his foot down with his own son. If anything else happened, who would inherit the Coltrane fortune?"Mr. Coltrane Senior, how would you deal with someone who wanted to set your mansion on fire?" Sebastian asked coldly."Huh?" Everyone in the Coltrane family gasped.Sebastian was forcing Dexter to kill his own son.Dexter's brow was furrowed tightly as he looked at Sebastian. He said, "Mr. Ballard, could you show some leniency?"Sebastian shook his head slightly and said, "No. Fabian wanted to set my place on fire. If I just let it go, someone would go there tomorrow to destroy it.""Grandpa, Uncle Fabian was just angry because Maverick got his legs broken! That's why he sent someone to set it on fire. Besides, the
Dexter had no intention of stopping the rest of the bodyguards, even as he watched them take out their guns.That meant that Dexter was already contemplating killing Sebastian. If so, Sebastian would not show him any mercy. "Sebastian, even if you have connections and even if you have amazing skills, aren't you afraid of the law?" Dexter finally yelled, unable to help himself.He couldn't kill his own son. As long as he was alive, he couldn't stand by and watch his son die at Sebastian's hands.When Sebastian had come to interrogate him, Dexter had sent a message to Harold and told him about everything that had happened.Dexter didn't believe that Harold wouldn't take his side. He also didn't believe that Maeve would just watch the Coltranes get into trouble. As Dexter had expected, Harold and Maeve arrived at that moment."Mr. Ballard, this must be a misunderstanding," Harold said urgently as soon as he entered. He was terrified that Sebastian and the Coltranes would get into
However, the only answer they received was Rose's throwing knife.In the blink of an eye, four more bodies fell to the floor, and the hall erupted into wails.Dexter watched his family being slaughtered ruthlessly by the woman that Sebastian had brought, but there was nothing he could do. His arm shook as he pointed at Harold and said, "Harold! You're part of the Coltrane family too. Are you just going to watch him murder our family members right in front of you?"Harold turned bright red, but he said formally, "Dexter, no one has treated me like a person since I joined this family."Even Callum has the nerve to point at me and insult me. Now it's too late for you to think of me using me!" Harold shook his sleeves with dignity and turned, pulling at Maeve to leave. Maeve shook her head, her eyes full of tears as she said, "Harold, I won't blame you for leaving, but I can't go."Harold glanced at her and was about to speak when Sebastian said, smiling, "You can leave, Harold. I
The Coltranes had once been the king of the roost, but now Sartvale's business world was under the control of three families. Due to the decline of the Coltranes, Harold's influence had been greatly reduced. However, he still had connections in Sunway, and he was not ostracized by anyone. He had just lost an ally.The moment he left Coltrane Estate, Sebastian's phone rang. When he saw that it was Rosalie calling, he answered at once. "Where are you, Sebastian? Something happened at the hospital," Rosalie said anxiously."The hospital? What happened?" Sebastian asked, his brow furrowed."A very difficult patient has been admitted. Dr. Lemmington says that they've sent their best doctors, but there's been no improvement.""Oh?" Sebastian frowned and asked, "What symptoms does the patient have?""It's a very strange condition. Dr. Lemmington says that the patient hasn't slept for over ten days. His eyes are always open, and he doesn't answer no matter what he's asked. He looks as
