If the Emrys Sect was also looking for the sword, Anthony wouldn't dare to covet it. However, if they were ignoring Maximus, that would be a different story."Oh, my mentor has passed away. I'm just an external apprentice. How could I ask the other seniors in the sect to do anything? I had no choice but to watch as Purity, one of the ten famous swords of the Emrys Sect, fell into Sebastian's hands." The hatred in Maximus' voice intensified as he spoke. He hadn't just lost the sword. His reputation in Sunway had crumbled as well. He hadn't been able to find an ally, but now Anthony was going to come off his mountain to deal with Sebastian. Maximus might now be able to use the opportunity to get back his sword and his dignity."Oh, okay. I'll help you out. What does your sword look like?" Anthony had heard of Purity, but he had never seen the real thing."It's a rare treasure that can be both soft and hard and can be wrapped around one's waist. As far as I know, Sebastian keeps th
Shane smiled and said, "Dad, Mr. Stallone called me just now and asked me to go with him to greet Mr. Laing. Don't you think our family should go and welcome him as well?"Finn's gaze swept over Shane, and he asked, "What do you youngsters know? Our family are businessmen. As for Anthony, he's an influential figure in the mystic martial arts sects. From what I've heard, Sebastian isn't easy to deal with, either. Our family shouldn't get mixed up in this."Finn's experience in life told him that it wouldn't be wise to provoke either Sebastian or Anthony. Besides, it was too early to tell who would be the victor among the two of them.What if Sebastian killed Anthony?If the Winters were found to have tried to curry favor with Anthony, they would be dealt with very quickly.When two such powerful forces were fighting, it was best to feign ignorance of the entire thing. Otherwise, it would only bring trouble upon them.Besides, the case with Matthias was still unresolved. If they of
Finn took out a bank card and handed it to Shane.There was exactly ten million in the card, which he had prepared beforehand. However, it wasn't for Anthony. He had been planning to send it to Harold.After all, Shane had been implicated in Matthias' case.Finn had been able to bail Shane out because the police didn't have concrete evidence, but if the case remained unresolved, Shane would not be able to leave Sunway even for a day!That was what Finn was most worried about.If they proved that Shane had done it, it wouldn't just be the police who would be after him. The Winters would kick both Finn and Shane out of the family.However, it seemed that there was no need to worry at all. If Sebastian's identity was changing all the time, how could he have any powerful allies? The police would probably close the case very soon. It was why Finn had decided to bet on Anthony. Shane took the bank card happily and rushed out of the house.There were too many rules involved in goin
Anthony had no idea that the black bronze horse was covered with a film of corpse energy because it had been kept in an ancient tomb for far too long.The glossy black sheen wasn't the color of the bronze. It was because it had been tainted with corpse energy."Mr. Laing." Although Jayden had never seen Anthony before, he could tell who it was from his demeanor and from how respectful the elderly men behind him were.It was obvious that this was the legendary Anthony. Jayden hadn't expected to be able to see Anthony at all. For someone of his status, he would have been satisfied with just handing his gift over to Anthony so that the latter would know that he existed. His main purpose of the day was to go to the convenience store and insult Sebastian. He hadn't expected Anthony to be so hospitable and to actually come and greet him personally."Please come in, gentlemen," Anthony said, giving his apprentices a pointed look.Someone came swiftly to take the bronze horse. Althoug
Besides, it would be even more convenient for Anthony to cause trouble for the Northmans if he were Jayden's mentor. He could use the grudge between the Stallones and the Northmans as an excuse."Mr. Laing! You're like my second father! Please accept my respects!" Jayden could easily adapt to any situation. He understood Anthony's intent and why he had suggested such a thing.He hastily knelt in front of Anthony and groveled to him.Anthony smiled and helped him up. He took out a booklet and said, "You should maintain good relationships with all your fellow apprentices. They're all in here."Anthony had taken in many apprentices, and all of them were wealthy heirs from prestigious families. He hadn't accepted them to pass on his skills. It was merely for the convenience of gathering wealth. Jayden had felt lucky at first, but when he looked at the booklet, he did a double take. There were about one or two hundred names in it.Were they all his fellow apprentices?When Shane saw
What the bodyguards were most worried about was that Jayden would get some harebrained idea and get into trouble once more.Although the bodyguard was just an employee, he could see very clearly that Anthony had only accepted Jayden and Shane as his apprentices for money. Anthony wouldn't care whether they lived or died.If they went out there and boasted that they were named apprentices, they would get their heads smashed in.One should never show off if one was not equipped to do so. They would be sure to pay the price for it."What would you know?" Jayden glared at the bodyguard and said, "I'm Mr. Laing's apprentice now! Everyone who sees me will have to humble themselves!"He waved the booklet at the bodyguard.The bodyguard wanted to cry. Did Jayden really think that the booklet could be used like some kind of valuable sword?He began to question his employer's intelligence. However, as a bodyguard, he had no choice but to obey. Their black sedan drove straight to the Nor
"Use violence on you?" Zane shook his head and said, "I won't, but they might! Get these idiots out of here!""Yes!" The Northmans' bodyguards were all retired soldiers who were experts in combat. Besides, they were in the majority, which boosted their confidence.Before Jayden could raise his booklet once again, punches and slaps rained down on him.In the storm of punches and slaps, there were a few kicks thrown in for good measure, which made Jayden scream when they landed.Jayden's bodyguards were beaten up even more harshly. Three of them had several of their ribs broken. Out of the remaining two, one had his leg broken while the other was knocked unconscious. "Damn it! Zane, Theodore, listen to me! When I come back with my fellow apprentices, I'll kill your whole family!" Jayden said viciously as he wiped away the blood gushing out of his nose and spat out two broken teeth. "Mr. Stallone! Give me a hand! My leg is broken!" Shane had been beaten up until he was battered an
"Mr. Stallone!" A bodyguard hurried over to stop Jayden.However, he was too late. Sebastian had already stood up slowly and was walking toward Jayden."Look carefully! I'm an apprentice of the Caelbane Sect leader now!" Jayden knew that Sebastian had some martial arts skills, so he hastily flashed his booklet at him.Sebastian slapped Jayden without any hesitation."Damn you—"He slapped Jayden again."I'm—"Sebastian cut him off with another slap."I—"There was another resounding slap, followed by another.With every word that Jayden said, Sebastian gave him a generous slap. He slapped him so many times that Jayden saw stars, and his ears were ringing. Sebastian slapped Jayden yet again, and this time, blood trickled out of the corner of Jayden's mouth."Who gave you the guts to come over here and boast? The Caelbane Sect only accepted fools in the past. Do they also accept cripples now?" Sebastian gave Jayden a hard look.He was only trying to teach him a lesson with
"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.
Sebastian didn't even need to use the Indigo Thunder God tactic to deal with Caleb and Reuben. With their powers and level of skill, they were no match for him at all, not even if there had been ten of them.Caleb ran toward him and suddenly picked up speed. The curved sword in his hand gleamed coldly as it aimed for Sebastian's left rib cage. At the same time, Reuben wielded his sword and thrust it at Sebastian's right rib cage. The two of them attacked from both left and right simultaneously, but Sebastian just stepped forward at a measured pace. It looked like a leisurely move, but one step brought him over 20 feet away. Caleb and Reuben's curved swords had been about to slice into Sebastian when he suddenly disappeared from their sight. The two of them stopped quickly.However, they were still a step too late. They had been using so much force that their curved swords clashed against each other, throwing up sparks. It was clear that they had used all their strength to try
Reuben and Caleb burst into gleeful laughter. If not for Belinda's answer, they wouldn't have been so bold. Belinda sneered as she looked at the shameless men. She decided inwardly that they would only live for another three days!However, just as Caleb and Reuben thought they were safe, Sebastian strode forward and said calmly, "You don't have to regret it. I can fight against the two of you on my own. Not only can you wear brass knuckles, but you can even use daggers or swords. I'm alright with anything."The smile on Saul's face froze."Madam, didn't you agree that the martial arts battle has ended for today?" Saul demanded, pointing at Sebastian.Belinda smiled slightly and said, "Like you said, he's not part of the Warrior League. What right do I have to stop him?"Saul was rendered speechless.Sebastian wasn't part of the Warrior League, and he had said so himself. Belinda didn't have any right to stop Sebastian.Caleb clenched his teeth and exchanged looks with Reuben.
Saul grinned triumphantly. He hadn't expected Blake to throw down the dagger at all. He had only stepped forward to stop the battle so that he could stall for time.Blake's wound was bone-deep. Since he had pulled out the dagger, the wound was bleeding continuously. Losing too much blood could be fatal to a Warrior.He was unwittingly helping Caleb gain an advantage."Ha! Die, Dramonian!" Caleb exclaimed. He strode forward and struck a punch. A gleam of silver shot toward Blake's chest.Although Blake didn't know what the shining object was, he could feel a sense of extreme danger. He dodged quickly to avoid Caleb's punch.However, he did not dodge quickly enough, and it grazed his abdomen. He felt a piercing pain at once, and Blake realized that Caleb was wearing brass knuckles.However, the brass knuckles were different from ordinary ones. There was a steel needle that was about an inch long on the middle finger.Blake said angrily, "Caleb, you are shameless! How can you wear
It was just the second attack, yet Blake had managed to injure Caleb so severely.Caleb clutched his left rib and bent over. It wasn't an act, because Blake knew how much force he had used in that move. He had broken at least two ribs with that punch.Ordinary people couldn't endure the pain of broken bones, especially if the ribs had been broken with blunt force. It would be extremely painful.Blake smiled slightly and asked, "You think you can injure Mr. Parham and get away with it? Hmph!"With a wide grin, he cracked his knuckles loudly. As Caleb watched Blake slowly walk over to him, he begged for mercy, his face twisted in pain. "Don't kill me! I didn't do it on purpose! Please spare me!"Caleb backed away as he spoke, but Blake was unmoved. His mission was to kill Caleb.As Blake moved closer, Caleb couldn't back away any further. When he was backed into a corner, Caleb's eyes widened with fear as he stared at Blake, walking toward him with deliberate steps.Everyone was
Caleb and Reuben were delighted at what Belinda had said. However, Saul shot them meaningful looks. Did they really think the Warrior League was easy to deal with, even without Sebastian?The Warrior League was filled with experts. If the two of them fought against them rashly, they would be sure to die."Wait!" Saul stepped forward to block Gary and the others."What now?" Belinda asked coldly."There are so many of you. If all of you fight against them while saying that it's a one-on-one battle, no one could withstand that! We need to set a limit, at least," Saul said seriously."We'll only fight three battles," Belinda said calmly.That meant that the Warrior League would only send three people, while Caleb and Reuben couldn't have anyone helping them.In other words, it was three against two. Still, they had to accept those conditions. It was the best they would get.Otherwise, Belinda only had to give the command and it wouldn't be a one-on-one battle, it would be a bloo
"Forget it. Since you didn't die, we won't pursue the matter further with you. We've already enjoyed that young woman anyway, so we won't punish you for your crime," Reuben said, grinning scornfully.They could tell that Belinda and the others had turned up in such a large group to get revenge on them.However, they had special identities. Would Belinda be bold enough to offend two hugely influential forces in Yvanton for the sake of an old man?Was the Warrior League really powerful enough to offend Yvanton? Besides, the Juwanian bishop in Yvanton was also renowned in the martial arts community."If the two of them have done anything disrespectful to the Warrior League, I apologize on their behalf. Yvanton is willing to compensate you for what happened today. You can name your price," Saul said seriously.Even he believed that Belinda and the others wouldn't dare push for revenge now. After all, who would dare to kill Jorvahn's grandson?Belinda scoffed. "So what if he's the Juw
