The Warriors who had been trying to persuade Sebastian couldn't help frowning. They all felt that Sebastian didn't know what was good for him.They were trying to help him, but Sebastian was now telling Zephyr to break his own legs!"What did you say? You want me to break my own legs? Are you deaf? I told you that my family's ally is Tomas Argento! Is this your first day joining the martial arts community? Damn it!"Zephyr was almost insane with fury. He had already mentioned Tomas' name, and yet Sebastian still wanted him to break his own legs?The fact was that Zephyr wasn't sure whether or not his family would be able to use their connection with Tomas or not. All he knew was that his grandfather had personally gone to visit Tomas a while ago. As for what Tomas' answer had been, Zephyr still had no idea.All he knew was that his grandfather had started sounding much more confident after that visit. There had been several times when he had even ignored what the Wentworths had
"Blake asked you to look after me? You really do inflate your own importance, don't you? Even Blake wouldn't dare to say something like that!" Sebastian gazed coldly at Hendrix.Hendrix clutched his numb cheek and stood up. He glared at Sebastian, but before he could speak, he spat out a few teeth. Blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth."How dare you hit me!" he said through gritted teeth as he pointed at Sebastian.He had always felt that Sebastian was just a friend of Blake's, or perhaps someone who hung around with the Warrior League. Even if he had defeated Ethan, so what?There were plenty of people in Boren who were stronger than Ethan. Sebastian didn't count for anything.Blake had given him special instructions to be very respectful to Sebastian, but Hendrix hadn't been willing to do so at all.Why should he, the chairman of the Mount Klane Martial Arts Association of Boren, go personally to the airport to greet a young man who was in his 20s? What made him so m
When Hendrix had first said something like that to him, Rory had begun to suspect his motives. However, after hearing the proof from Sebastian's lips, Rory's suspicions had become even stronger."Sebastian, I can't believe I kept trying to help you. This morning, when Mr. Hardy asked me to take you here, I was still trying to persuade him not to. Now you're repaying my kindness with a stab in the back and slandering me!"Hendrix could see that there was no way he could explain it, so he had no choice but to try and lead the conversation topic away.His little tricks weren't enough to deceive Sebastian at all, especially as Nina was sitting beside him. She was even more shrewd."You weren't afraid that Mr. Durham Senior and I would get into some kind of conflict. You're just worried that something might happen to me," Sebastian countered. He continued, "If anything did happen to me, Blake or members of the Warrior League would come personally to Boren. If Blake comes, all those de
Even those in the martial arts community hated the Sanguis Cult from the depths of their being.A middle-aged Warrior shot to his feet. "You're actually a lapdog for the Sanguis Cult?""Damn it! Slaughter that asshole!" another young Warrior bellowed, his blood-red eyes bulging as he stood up."Kill him!""Skin him alive!"Seven or eight Warriors all stood up one after the other.The Sanguis Cult had done many evil things in Dramon, and many martial arts practitioners as well as the family and apprentices of elite martial arts families had been assassinated by them.It was clear that the people who had spoken must have had loved ones who had died tragically at the hands of the Sanguis Cult assassins.Hendrix was completely stunned. No matter how much he tried to explain, there was no way he would be able to make himself clear."Hendrix, do you really belong to the Sanguis Cult?" There was a menacing glint in Rory's eyes as he stared fixedly at Hendrix.The reason he was raisi
Sebastian's words fell like a pebble in a lake, causing widespread ripples. Everyone frowned.Why was Sebastian being so relentless at a time like that? Did he actually want Tomas to come and slaughter him?There was a ding as the elevator doors opened, and Douglas rushed out. "Zephyr! Where's my son?"Zephyr saw that one of his family members had finally arrived, and he immediately yelled urgently at Douglas, "Dad! I'm here! Come and save me! This guy smashed my kneecaps!"Douglas had seen everything that had happened in the hall through the surveillance footage. He had seen more clearly than anyone how Sebastian had pierced Zephyr's kneecap with a fork. At the time, he had wanted more than anything to rush in and save his son and get revenge for him.However, Sebastian's move had been so impressive. Douglas thought about his own skills and knew that he would only be dying for nothing by going over there. That was why he had waited for Tomas to get there before rushing up to th
There were many experts among the Wentworths. That was how Joaquin had gotten the position of the state head director. Even if all of them joined forces, they might still not be a match for Joaquin."My young friend, you mustn't lose sight of the big picture. It's just a woman! Do you really want to let so many of Dramon's Warriors die because of a woman?"Rory was the most thick-skinned out of everyone present. No one else had wanted to say it, but he was saying it as if it was the most natural thing in the world. It was as if Sebastian was killing his fellow martial arts practitioners by not giving Nina to Tomas for him to have his way with her, or that he was killing the pillars of Dramon's society.Since Rory was being so shameless, everyone followed suit, unwilling to lose out."Young man, it's just a woman. What does it matter for you to sacrifice a woman for the sake of the bigger picture? You can have your pick in the red-light districts of Mount Klane. If any of them d
Everyone looked at Rory in surprise. They had only seen him stand up slowly before he suddenly flew sideways. They had initially thought that it was one of Rory's new moves."Mr. Durham Senior, I don't think anyone slapped you. You flew off on your own!" one of the Warriors beside him said, sounding puzzled.Before he could finish, Rory flew toward the table he had been sitting at, and he did so at a very strange angle. There was another series of crashes, and yet another dozen or so tables were knocked over by Rory. This time, even the right side of his face had been hit so hard that it had become misshapen.As both sides of his face had caved in from the force of the blows, even his head had become an odd shape. From afar, it looked as if there was a bulbous shape growing on his neck.Even Rory was stunned. Sebastian couldn't have slapped him from such a great distance away, but no one near him had moved either. Nina let out a tinkling laugh. Sebastian also couldn't help laug
However, things were developing in a way that was completely unexpected from what Hendrix had imagined.Hendrix couldn't help but swallow. From the moment Rory had stood up until the moment Shirley was tossed into Tomas' room, less than five seconds had passed.Even Hendrix was dumbstruck. What kind of move was that?Hendrix wasn't the only one who hadn't had time to react. Even the Wentworths were stunned. Was Rory giving up his own family for the sake of the martial arts community?However, Rory didn't seem like someone who would be so noble!In the end, Hendrix came to his senses first and ran over quickly to knock on the door. He said, "Mr. Argento, that's not the beautiful woman you had your eye on! It's wrong! It's the wrong one!"After a long time, Tomas came out of the room, looking satisfied. He asked, puzzled, "What did you say was wrong?"Hendrix pointed at Nina, his features twisted as he said, "Look! She's over there and hasn't moved at all!""Damn it!" Tomas was s
Javier fell with a thump onto the floor. He stared dazedly as Kayden was tied to a long bench with a rope."Bring in the family members of the victim. Who from the law enforcement hall will carry out the punishment?" Sebastian demanded.He pulled out a silver needle and pierced one of Kayden's acupuncture points, which would make him more alert.When a man in a wheelchair was pushed into the hall by a young woman who looked very frail, Sebastian stood up quickly.He said to the young man, "Kayden is the reason your family's fallen apart. We'll torture him to death very soon.""That asshole! He deserves to be slashed a million times!" the young man yelled at Kayden, clenching his fists tightly."Don't get agitated. He won't die before he gets cut 7,000 times. Although you don't have the right to carry out the execution, you can splash salt water over his wounds!"Sebastian took a bucket from one of the law enforcement hall apprentices and placed it in front of the young man."Se
At least that man had not had to grovel to the perpetrators to thank them. Not only did Brayden have to grovel to the law enforcement hall men, he even had to thank them!After about four hours, when Kayden had pulled up his pants, he went over to Brayden and said in a slightly ashamed tone, "Inspector Jefferson, I… I had no choice!"He sounded as if he was completely innocent.Brayden wanted to murder him. Just a minute earlier, when Joaquin had called out his name, he had been shaking with excitement. He had even forgotten about the pain of having his crotch injured and lunged toward Darla like a hungry wolf. Now, he was standing in front of Brayden, acting innocent?Brayden had only gotten into this state because of Kayden!After sending away all the reporters, Joaquin sent a message to Sebastian. In less than ten minutes, Sebastian sauntered back into the restaurant. He glanced at Darla, who was lying on the floor with a vacant look in her eyes. Sebastian patted Brayden's sh
If the incident was broadcast, it would be sure to cause an uproar, and Boren would become the center of the storm.However, Sebastian had made up his mind, and Joaquin didn't dare to try and dissuade him. He had no choice but to do as Sebastian had commanded and call over the news teams from all three states' television stations.Since the head director of a state was calling them personally, none of them dared to refuse. In less than two hours, the news teams from all three state television stations had arrived and were in position."What news are we broadcasting today, Mr. Ballard?" a female reporter asked Sebastian.She had seen how messy the place was, and there didn't seem to be anything for them to report about."Later, these people are going to help a family improve the gene pool, and I need you to broadcast the entire process live. Before you do, please play a recording of a phone call from Inspector Jefferson," Sebastian said. He sent the recording of the phone call
"Kneel!" Sebastian suddenly yelled.Brayden yelped with fear and fell to his knees."Sebastian, I… I'm a tristate inspector of the Martial Arts Court!"At that point, Brayden's final hope was his authority and position. He didn't want to die, and he especially didn't want to die for no reason.He just wanted to win favor with the ancestral being of the Berkeleys and get some tips on how to get a longer life."Call your wife! I'll give you two hours. If she doesn't come, you'll be tortured to death as well. I can tell you clearly that I'm a doctor, and I have ways to keep you alive until you get slashed 3,600 times with a knife!" Sebastian said icily."I…"Brayden trembled as he pulled out his phone. His mind had gone blank, and it took him a long time to find his wife's phone number. Her name was Darla Wyllis. "Hello? Honey? A handbag caught my eye today, but that stupid store actually refused to give it to me for free! It's a lousy handbag that only costs about 500 thousand d
Jayden had only gone a few steps, but he had no choice but to stop. He turned and grimaced at the Berkeleys and Brayden, who were all looking in his direction.He was filled with regret. He should have made his escape earlier instead of coming back with Brayden. Egbert and Yorrick were clearly fools. One of them had maimed himself and ended up vomiting blood relentlessly, while the other stood there like an idiot for Sebastian to slap him. He would be surprised if either of them could defeat Sebastian.As everyone was watching him, Jayden had no choice but to return to his previous spot. He looked nervously at Yorrick, praying inwardly that the old man would somehow get more skilled. He couldn't let Sebastian screw him over!"This is the last slap, old man. Do you still have any feeling in your face?" Sebastian asked, raising his palm."Damn you!" Yorrick swore violently. However, one of his front teeth had been knocked out earlier when he was slapped, and air escaped noisily t
The entire left side of Yorrick's face had become so numb that he couldn't feel a thing."Young man, just now you already hit me—""I only slapped you once!" Sebastian interrupted, holding up a finger.Yorrick spat and said, "How could one slap have made so many noises?"Sebastian replied innocently, "Everyone here can testify that I only hit you once, and I did it very slowly too. You all saw it, didn't you?"The onlookers nodded quickly, especially the experts from the law enforcement hall. They still couldn't figure out how an expert at Yorrick's level could have been sent flying through the air by a weak slap like that from Sebastian.What puzzled them the most was that Yorrick had clearly landed in a very safe spot. Why had he insisted on rolling into a pile of broken glass and gotten such a gaping wound on his face?"Fine!" Yorrick clenched his teeth and suppressed the pain in the right side of his face. "There are still two moves left!" he said viciously."Will you com
Sebastian nodded slightly. Yorrick had probably killed the young man because the latter was proficient in mystic spells and was already on the brink of the threshold. That could be the only reason for Yorrick's senseless deedThere were some people who couldn't bear seeing people who were stronger than them, which was why they made their move before their opponent could grow and develop."Are you really going to concede three moves to me, old man?" Sebastian stepped forward, grinning."Of course!" Yorrick answered, staring arrogantly at him.He still hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary with Sebastian, so he assumed that Sebastian was just an ordinary guy. He had probably only been able to defeat so many experts—including Egbert—because he had used some kind of trick. Egbert had lost because he had fallen into Sebastian's trap, not because of the latter's skills. That was why Egbert ended up suffering from the backlash of the ghost he had nurtured and lost his powers."I'll
"Young man, you're so cruel. Have you ever thought of the consequences of your actions?" Yorrick asked. He put his hands behind his back as he walked slowly toward Sebastian. Sebastian eyed Yorrick, whose training was at least on the same level as Egbert's. Besides, what he had studied was also a kind of spell. He and Sebastian specialized in the same study.The moment Yorrick got angry, Sebastian had sensed the faint power of Dainist principles from him."No blows are kind, and neither are harsh words! Why do you people feel that others should meekly allow you to beat them up? When your people are injured, you immediately think of it as the other party's mistake! That doesn't make any sense!" Sebastian answered coldly."Mr. Irving, kill that asshole!" Kayden said viciously. He was still clutching his crotch with one hand while he pointed at Sebastian with his other hand. Beside them, Jayden said defiantly, "Mr. Irving, you must not let this guy go! He's ruthless and extremely
Huh? Egbert frowned involuntarily. He had never felt that way before. What was going on? There was a loud blast, and the gigantic statue suddenly appeared out of thin air. At the same time, Egbert suddenly felt his blood churning inside him, and he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.He was about to turn and run when a black bolt of light hit him in the back. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew through the air like a broken kite. "Oh! Are you actually a sadist, old man?" Sebastian asked, smiling.Before Egbert could scramble up again, yet another bolt of dark light flew toward him."Damn it!"Egbert could no longer be conscious of his image and dignity. He swore at once. The dark light was aimed at his energy reserve. If he was hit, his decades of training would be completely ruined. However, he had plenty of life experience and had been through many such situations. When he saw the dark light flying toward him, he rolled across the floor like a bal
