That night, when Sebastian got back to the Moonlyte Club, he found two police cars at the entrance. One of them had Sunway license plates, which puzzled him.As soon as he walked through the main doors, a couple of men in uniform stood up from the coffee table where they had been sitting and said, "Sebastian, please come with us!""Can I ask you why you're arresting me?" Sebastian asked, frowning."Sebastian, the situation is a little complicated, but I believe that you're innocent. This is not the right place for us to talk. Let's talk back at the station," Vince said rather apologetically as he stood up and walked over to him.Sebastian felt slightly more reassured to see Vince.However, when he saw the unpleasant looks of the two police officers beside him, he began to feel uneasy once more.It was clear that Vince's position was lower than theirs. Vince was also giving him a look that was clearly warning him not to resist. Although Sebastian was confused, he cooperated and
Vince knew very well what kind of situation he was in. He didn't belong to Larys' group of people, nor was he Harold's. The only person he could truly rely on was Sebastian.Both Harold and Larys had left him alone thus far out of respect for Sebastian.After Sebastian was brought into the interrogation room at Police Headquarters, Vince grinned and said to the two special officers sent in by the state, "Well, I won't be able to join in for the upcoming interrogation. There are just too many things to do here! I hope you'll understand.""Of course, Chief Weist. We wouldn't let the police chief conduct interrogations with us! You can leave it to us." Cody Montstone smiled and nodded.He was Ivan's right-hand man and had been sent on this trip by him. No matter what, he had to make Sebastian's case solid.After Cody had sent Vince off, he looked menacingly at Sebastian and said, "Sebastian, I advise you to tell the truth. Why did you kill Matthias?""Mr. Montstone, don't you think
While Hunter was on the phone with Ivan, Vince called Liam and told him briefly about Sebastian's case.After Liam heard about it, he was very surprised. Although he had the authority to use local police power, he didn't have the authority to intervene with the local judicial department's right to enact justice.As he hadn't been present when Sebastian injured Matthias, he had no authority to intervene in the case, even if he wanted to."Grandpa, Seb's in trouble!" Liam put the phone down and rushed to Wyatt's bedroom, where he told him about what had happened to Sebastian."That doesn't sound right. Sebastian doesn't seem like such an impulsive person."Liam couldn't help smiling wryly. "That's because you've never seen him when he's being impulsive."Wyatt glared at Liam and said, "Use your brain! If you wanted to kill someone, would you do it in public?"Liam looked rather baffled as he said, "I know that Seb was framed, but Hunter might already have taken action!"Wyatt l
"Are you going to defy me?" Liam sneered.Matthias' corpse was essential in proving Sebastian's innocence and saving his life. Liam was determined to get it. That was why he had brought Wyatt's guards with him."I'm sorry. I hope that the special forces comrades can cooperate with us," the police officer said, blocking Liam's path.Liam gritted his teeth and pulled out his gun from around his waist. He flicked off the safety catch and pointed it at the police officer who was in his way. He said, "Move aside!""Do you think you're the only one who has a gun?" The police officer pulled out his gun as well, but he didn't dare to take off the safety catch."I'll count to three, and you'll put the corpse down and let us take it. Otherwise, shoot him on the spot!" Liam commanded the soldiers behind him. "Yes, sir!" As they assented, their guns swung around to point at the police officers.The officer who was blocking Liam's path instinctively took two steps backward. He couldn't affo
In less than ten minutes, a second message was sent to Marius' phone, "Your child is in our hands! If you want the child to live, don't do the autopsy!" When Marius saw the message, his hands trembled slightly.They had kidnapped his child!"Dr. Chesney, we have the corpse. What do we do next?" Liam shouted as he jumped out of the military vehicle and walked inside.Marius recovered at once when he heard Liam's shouts. He hesitated and said, "Find a medical examiner to do the autopsy."Liam frowned and looked at him in confusion. "Dr. Chesney, aren't you qualified as a medical examiner?"Marius turned red and hung his head. If Sebastian hadn't pleaded on his behalf, he couldn't imagine what would have happened to him.On one hand was his benefactor, but on the other was his child. He was in a dilemma."Hey, say something!" Liam urged him impatiently. He could tell that there was something strange about Marius' expression."Mr. Holman, I'm afraid that I won't be able to do any
Sebastian's arms were held firmly by two police officers as they got into the police car. Cody was sitting in the front passenger seat. He glanced smugly at Sebastian through the rearview mirror as he said, "Ballard, when we get to the state department, there'll be no one left to defend you! I advise you to behave!"Sebastian ignored him and looked in the rearview mirror. A large fleet of police cars had suddenly popped up behind them."Stop that car!" Ned's voice came from the police cars behind them.Cody huffed coldly and turned to say to the driver, "Ignore them and speed up. We'll rush through the checkpoint ahead, and then our mission will be completed.At his command, the police car picked up speed and rushed straight for the checkpoint at a speed of 120 miles per hour."Damn it! Those assholes! Notify the people in the checkpoint in front and tell them to put up roadblocks!" Ned's eyes were red with fury. If he couldn't get Sebastian back, his stint as office director wo
Liam sneered and clasped his hands behind his back. He stepped forward in his shiny military boots and said, "Do you think you're tough because you're holding a gun?"I'm not sure whether you'll have the guts to shoot or not, but my special forces team members aren't going to give you the chance to pull the trigger. "I'm going to count to three. Put down your gun, or your family will be getting death notices tomorrow morning!" As soon as Liam finished, over a dozen guns were trained on Cody and Knox."Colonel Holman, you must know that I don't just represent the state," Cody said through gritted teeth.Liam scoffed and said, "I know whose dogs you are. But even that dog Hunter wouldn't dare to try and act tough in front of me!" He slapped Cody in the face."You—""Forget it, Cody. This is beyond the two of us. We'd better go and report this to Chief Galledin as soon as we can," Knox said in a low voice as he tugged at Cody's clothes.At Knox's reminder, Cody realized how seri
When Ivan heard the news, he had no choice but to suppress his rage.He knew that Vince was opposing him on purpose, but he could only compromise and revoke Sebastian's arrest warrant in the state department as well. Vince had already set up a special team to put on the case. He was going to investigate it thoroughly and clear Sebastian's name. Ned was in charge of the team. Sebastian nodded slightly, but he couldn't help feeling amused. Shane had almost killed him. Even he couldn't understand when he had offended Shane."Does that mean I'm free now?" Sebastian asked, smiling."Yes. You're innocent, Mr. Ballard, so we must clear your name," Ned said. He started the engine of the police car and headed straight back to Steinberg's city area."Seb, I feel like there's something strange about all this. Even if Shane wanted to get you in trouble, he isn't powerful enough to use someone as important as Ivan. "Although the Winters do have some dealings with the martial arts sects, t
"Pay you? Keep dreaming!" Kayden roared. "I'm telling you, even if I were to set fire to this entire building, no one would dare to make me pay a penny! Smashing this tiny hotel up is nothing!" He continued, "You came at just the right time. Today is the day I'm going to show you how I have some fun with your lady!"Kayden suddenly had an extremely evil thought. He would make the men from the law enforcement hall restrain Sebastian before he stripped Nina naked right in front of him. He was thrilled at the thought, and he was getting even more exhilarated. It wasn't the first time he had done such a thing, but he had never toyed with a woman as beautiful as Nina. The thought of having such a beautiful woman under him filled him with excitement. "Oh? Do you really think that you can do as you wish with such a small number of men?"Sebastian's gaze swept over the men from the law enforcement team. Over half of them had participated in wiping out the Lynches, and they were dee
Kayden grinned slyly as he spoke. The reason he hated Sebastian so much wasn't only because of how badly the latter had beaten him up. What was more important was why someone like Sebastian would have such a beautiful woman with him!Kayden was the heir of the Berkeleys. He was the most influential heir in the whole of Acorn City! When compared with Nina, Candy was practically a country bumpkin. Kayden couldn't stand the drastic difference between the two women. Didn't all beautiful women like rich men?Shouldn't beautiful women be vying for the attention of wealthy heirs instead?Sebastian was just a charlatan who went around tricking people! How could he have such a beautiful woman as his companion?Kayden was determined to make Nina one of his conquests by the end of that day so that she could see how impressive he was. Even if Sebastian died, Kayden wanted to make sure to cuckold him even in death!"Mr. Berkeley, t-this isn't appropriate!"Although Rocco did not know
Not long after Kayden had reached the Aequor, over a dozen ambulances pulled up opposite the hotel and waited there. "Rocco, get out here!" Kayden yelled toward the manager's office as soon as he reached the restaurant on the third floor. Rocco had received the news as soon as Kayden walked into the hotel. He had been scared witless when he saw Kayden storm in. Sebastian hadn't been back for two nights. He might have been killed by the Berkeleys! Without Sebastian's support, how could Rocco oppose them?To Kayden, killing Rocco would be as easy as crushing a bug. "What should I do, what should I do? Oh God, oh holy mother of gods! What should I do, damn it!" Rocco ran wildly around his office. He didn't even know which god to pray to for protection. "Rocco! If you don't get out here, I'll burn your office down!" Kayden shouted once more. Rocco's heart almost stopped at the mention of fire. He pushed the door open quickly and scurried over to Kayden. "Mr. Berkeley, plea
Kayden soon received news of how Sebastian had broken into the Berkeley clan hall the night before.He was furious. Who did Sebastian think he was? Was the Berkeleys' clan hall the kind of place that people could just walk in and out of as they pleased?"Mr. Berkeley, shall we go and see the clan hall later? After all, Ms. Candy is still there," Jayden said in an ingratiating tone.He had only managed to latch onto Kayden through his connection with Colton. This was a rare opportunity for him to make a comeback.That was why he had spent quite a large sum of money on Kayden recently. He had already gifted him over a dozen high-quality emerald pieces.Kayden wouldn't have been impressed by him if he hadn't done so."Do we need to? Sebastian is sure to die this time! Rocco is annoying me more right now. How dare he neglect me just because he thinks he's found a strong ally in Sebastian?"Kayden had seen clearly how obsequious and respectful Rocco had been to Sebastian while ignori
"You've done many evil deeds, and it's time for the Berkeleys to be destroyed!" Sebastian exclaimed. He summoned back his 18 clones with a single thought while he raised Purity. "No!" Violet screamed at the top of her lungs.There was a dull thump, and a head flew high into the air. A dark energy that looked both like a snake and like a human shot out at once. Sebastian wasn't going to let her have a chance of escaping. He tossed out four yellow paper charms at the same time. They formed a Nullcurse Spell and trapped both of Violet's souls within it."When I say die, I mean that your soul and spirit will be destroyed! You won't have a chance at finding another host!"Sebastian raised his palm and upturned it slightly as he said, "Destroy!""Sebastian, you'll come to a tragic end!"There was a blast as countless bolts of gold light burst forth and pierced the dark shadow, which looked both like a snake and a human.In the blink of an eye, the dark figure had disintegrated in t
In the end, even the scales on Lucius' body had been swiped off by the blows. Huge pieces of scales were torn off his body along with his skin and flesh. With every piece of scale that was torn off, he let out a bloodcurdling scream."Aargh! Please have mercy! I won't ever act recklessly again! Have mercy!"Lucius was now completely bloodied from the beating he had received. He was covered with wounds that went deep to the bone, and he was bleeding profusely. Even Violet couldn't bear to look at him.He no longer had the dignity of the ancestral being of the Berkeleys, and he had lost his domineering air. "You won't? Hmph! What are you going to say about that snake curse in her, then?" Sebastian asked, pointing at Candy. Lucius almost burst into tears. He didn't know anything about what they had done to Candy. Besides, once the soul of a snake began to merge with that of a human, they would become an entwined soul.He had only ever heard of a secret art that could separate an e
Lucius panicked at once. His clones couldn't make different moves, but Sebastian's attacks were all coming from different directions. How could he dodge them?A bolt of blue light slashed down on the head of one of Lucius' clones. He dodged to the side quickly while leaping up to dodge the other five swords. However, before he could land, he spat out a mouthful of blood.Although his original form had escaped from harm, his clones had been killed immediately. Although they were only his clones, they were very closely connected to his true form because of how truncated his Cloning Technique was compared to the original. That was why the backlash was particularly strong when his clones were killed."Just one move and both are already dead? Your Cloning Technique really isn't much!"Sebastian's 18 clones had surrounded the severely injured Lucius and were covering over a dozen different directions."How could this be? How could you have such an orthodox Cloning Spell passed dow
"How is that possible?"Lucius looked as if he was in disbelief when he saw that Sebastian had cut through the coal-black silk threads so easily. Sebastian appeared in front of him in an instant, and he raised Purity to slash at him.Right at the moment when the sword energy was about to touch Lucius' clothes, the air around them seemed to ripple violently. Lucius shot backward several feet as if he were a phantom, and he dodged Sebastian's attack."You're truly extraordinary!"There was a gleam in Lucius' dark eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to blur out of sight before splitting into three identical figures! Even the coal-black knife in his hand was exactly the same. "You didn't expect that, did you, young man? That's our lord's secret cloning technique!" Violet laughed triumphantly. Sebastian now had to fight against three on his own, which would be certain to end in his death. So what if he could break through the binding of the coal-black silk threads?
The handsome youth's name was Lucius Vipera. He grinned evilly and said, "You're the first person who's had the guts to insult me. You will pay!""My lord!"Violet hastily bowed to Lucius, too afraid to even look up at him.Lucius ignored her and strode toward Sebastian."Young man, you are extraordinary. To have accomplished so much in your 20s isn't an easy feat. If you apologize to the Berkeleys and promise to never oppose us again, I can consider letting you go today!" he said coldly in a manner that brooked no argument. Sebastian scoffed and shook his head as he said disdainfully, "You're not also planning to make me grovel to you in apology, are you?"While they all looked on in shock, Sebastian seemed to flicker out of focus, leaving behind a line of shadows as he rushed toward Lucius.Lucius narrowed his eyes and huffed coldly. "With your paltry skills, are you really going to—"Before he could finish, Sebastian's slap landed. There was a cold flash, which Lucius has
