"You said that Mr. Lynch wanted to take something that belonged to you. Where is the object?" the deacon in the lead asked, sneering. Sebastian pointed at his shirt pocket and said, "Here!" The deacon pulled out the emerald buckle from Sebastian's pocket. He weighed it in his hand and waved at the other deacons, saying, "Take him away!"When Jayden saw that Sebastian had been marched off by deacons from the Martial Arts Court, he called an ambulance for Colton. Luckily, Colton was from an elite martial arts family. Despite being spoiled, he had at least trained in martial arts, which was why he wasn't as frail as an ordinary person would be. Otherwise, he would have succumbed to his injuries long ago.Bryson and the others were also carried into the ambulance by the medical staff. Solomon sighed as he watched Sebastian leave. Although the Martial Arts Court appeared to be upholding the law, they were actually in cahoots with the Lynches. Now that Sebastian had been taken by t
A faintly murderous light flashed in Sebastian's eyes, and the deacons felt a chilling murderous energy. The deacon who had been pointing at Sebastian with a steel rod couldn't help stepping backward. He took a long time to recover. Sebastian was bound tightly in chains that were as thick as a man's thumb, and he had been cuffed to the steel chair. There was no way that he could fight back at all.The deacon felt annoyed at being scared by someone in that state, and he pointed at Sebastian with his steel rod again and shouted, "You must be tired of living, you brat! How dare you say Mr. Wentworth's name?""Even Joaquin wouldn't dare to speak to me in that manner," Sebastian said calmly.If Joaquin knew that Sebastian had been arrested by deacons from the Mount Acorn Martial Arts Court, he would kill them all without hesitation!"You're very arrogant! Mr. Lynch specifically mentioned this object. I'll give you five thousand dollars, and you can send it to him. Do you have any obje
"Mr. Lynch! Are you alright?" The deacons surrounded Colton at once.Colton had been very unlucky that day. Not only had Sebastian beaten him half to death, but he had even been injured in the head once again by him, even though Sebastian was chained. When Colton noticed how much he was bleeding, he lost it completely. "Kill him!" he roared in fury, looking crazed. The deacons exchanged looks. They knew how skillful Bryson was. However, Bryson was unable to stand against Sebastian, and it made the deacons even more afraid to move forward.Although Colton was the heir of the Lynch family, it wouldn't be worth getting their arms and legs broken by Sebastian just to flatter him. "Go and get him, damn it! I'll give you money! Each person will get one million. Beat him to death!"Colton was very agitated. He yelled at the top of his voice at Sebastian while pointing at him with his crutch. As the saying went, there would always be a hero when there was a big reward. Upon hearin
There was a dull thwack. The deacon in the lead didn't even have time to turn and escape before he was squashed into mincemeat by a single punch from Unus. Gleaming blood and flesh scattered everywhere. The rest of them tried to escape when they saw what had happened, but their speed couldn't compare to that of Unus. Before they could get to the door, Unus' fist had already reached them.There was a series of thumps as four or five deacons were all crushed. Blood and lumps of flesh fell all over the floor. The smell of blood hung heavily in the interrogation room.Jayden and Bryson cowered in a corner, trembling.Unus couldn't be human! How could it have reduced a live person to mincemeat with just one punch?As Jayden and Bryson looked on, Unus walked up to Sebastian expressionlessly. He raised his hand and tugged lightly on the chains that bound Sebastian tightly. They immediately broke into numerous pieces.Sebastian stood up and stretched before walking in Colton's directi
Javier had gone to Sunway for a meeting and was not in Acorn City. Whatever the old man said would be representative of Javier. "Mr. Gabbard, we can't let him go!""Yes, Mr. Gabbard. He's caused such a fuss at the Martial Arts Court that he should at least get both legs broken before we can let him go!""Besides, he injured Mr. Lynch! How will we explain to Mr. Berkeley when he gets back?"A few of the younger deacons protested. "I've already said that these two gentlemen may leave. Anyone who tries to stop them will be executed without mercy!" Cohen Gabbard was furious. Didn't these idiots know how to read the room? Did they have to carry out flattery no matter what the situation was?Didn't they know who the minced meat all over the floor belonged to? Who else could they be except the missing deacons?No matter how they had done it, someone who was able to smash a living person into mincemeat must be extremely powerful indeed. Even if they tried to tie Sebastian and Un
The two apothecaries immediately tossed their brooms aside. One helped the middle-aged woman to open the door while the other took the child from her arms."Time to see a patient, Dr. Larsen!" one of the apothecaries called out to an old doctor as he carried the child inside.The old doctor pushed his glasses up his nose and eyed the mother and daughter. He walked slowly over to the consultation table and sat down."Don't worry, ma'am. What's wrong with the child?" the doctor, Ellis Larsen, asked the middle-aged woman. At that moment, Sebastian and Unus walked into Townsend Clinic together. On the way there, Sebastian had remained focused on the little girl because the look in her eyes was highly abnormal. "Doctor, I don't know what's happened to her. She hasn't eaten or drunk anything since last night, and she doesn't say a word no matter what I ask her. All she does is to stare vacantly into space!" the middle-aged woman said tearfully to Ellis. Ellis couldn't help drawing i
"Yes, we have. Mrs. Wilham from our village is a medium, but she says that she can't cure this child and asked us to look for someone else," the middle-aged woman said and started crying again."What else did she say?" Sebastian asked, bending down to look carefully at the little girl.The middle-aged woman hesitated for a long time before she stuttered, "Actually… Mrs. Wilham says that t-there's no hope for our child anymore! She can only live three more days at most!"Before the middle-aged woman could finish speaking, there was a screech of brakes outside the door. Right after that, there was the sound of hurried footsteps, and over a dozen young men in suits barged in."Which of you is Dr. Solomon Jackman?" the young man in the lead yelled urgently.Solomon answered quickly, "It's me!"The young man waved quickly at the people behind him and said, "Hurry!"Soon, a young woman who was about 20 years old was carried inside.The young woman was pretty, and she was wearing clo
Solomon became agitated when he heard that Sebastian wanted to go to the abandoned mine. He tried to dissuade him. "You must not put yourself in danger, my young friend. Even others would have run into ghosts if they didn't heed warnings."The young man glanced at Solomon and said, "Dr. Jackman, they all say that you're a kind-hearted person. Why are you stopping others from trying to save Ms. Candy when you refuse to do so yourself?"Solomon turned red and sighed. "There was a huge mining accident there 30 years ago, and it's always been tainted with evil. To tell you the truth, my younger brother also didn't heed the warnings and—"Tears slid down Solomon's cheeks. Solomon's younger brother had endangered himself ten years ago to try and cure someone's illness. However, he had been carried back on a stretcher three days after that.He had been in the same state as the little girl and Candy. His eyes had been vacant, and he had neither eaten nor drunk nor slept. After just three
At the sound of the Wind Dancers' name, the waiters turned pale with fright.The Wind Dancers were known for killing people without batting an eye. It was rumored that even the Martial Arts Court had to show the WInd Dancers respect. They were immensely influential. Killing someone was like nothing to them."Oh, the Wind Dancers?" Sebastian frowned slightly."What's the matter? Are you scared now?"Reggie noticed Sebastian's expression stiffening and mistakenly thought that the latter had been frightened by the name of the Wind Dancers. Reggie pulled up a chair and sat down beside Nina."You don't have to be too nervous," he said. "We have always acted righteously, and we aren't biased toward any party at all!"With that, he pulled out a contract and gave it to Sebastian. Sebastian frowned slightly. They were clearly well prepared. They'd even drawn up a contract!When he took it and scanned it, his expression darkened at once. It was written clearly in the document that Seb
Reggie felt that it would be a disaster if Sebastian found out they were here and escaped.He had finally gotten an opportunity to help the Wentworths. However, he couldn't just let things go because Sebastian had escaped.The procession arrived at the restaurant on the 18th floor, where over a dozen waiters and waitresses were fighting to serve Sebastian and Nina delicacies from Boren. "That's him!" Colton yelled, pointing at Sebastian with his eyes blazing with anger.The patrons in the restaurant all turned simultaneously in Colton's direction. They all broke out into cold sweats of fear when they saw Anton, Reggie, and two black-clad men standing at the elevator doors. Although Colton wasn't well-known, Anton was very famous in Boren. He was known for being a vicious person who always got his revenge. "Stop eating and pack your things. Let's go!""There's big trouble brewing this time. Let's go, hurry!"The diners at several of the tables were only halfway through their
Since Reggie had accepted money from Anton, he would have to work for him. Reggie had his own plans.Now, the Wind Dancers allowed their members to buy real estate, and all they had to do was to submit one-third of their profits from their personal assets. In other words, the new rule was giving the Wind Dancers' internal apprentices permission to go and take what they wanted. When they used the name of the Wind Dancers, no one would dare refuse them.However, they would need an appropriate reason to take things. Reggie had been thinking about it, and now the solution had turned up!The more he thought about it, the more pleased he became. The Aequor was a big, five-star hotel with an income of over 100 million annually. Wouldn't that mean that he had gotten himself a veritable goldmine?Once he had made up his mind, Reggie urged, 'Let's not waste any time so that he won't have time to escape!""Yes! That's right!"Anton nodded quickly and instructed the butler to get a helicop
"My name is Reggie Joston. I'm the leader of Swordfyre Hall in the Wind Dancers. Greetings, Mr. Anton!" Reggie bowed slightly to Anton, and he spoke confidently.The leader of Swordfyre Hall?Anton was secretly surprised. It appeared that he had misunderstood the Wind Dancers. Although Reggie was young, Swordfyre Hall was renowned throughout Boren.He had only made a call, but the Wind Dancers had sent someone who was a leader. Not only that, Reggie was the lead apprentice of the Wind Dancers' sect leader. They were showing the Wentworths plenty of respect.At that thought, Anton smiled quickly and said, "Please sit down, Reggie!"As he spoke, he waved a hand at the butler, gesturing for him to go and prepare tea. Once Reggie was seated, he asked in surprise, "Who would dare to bully the Wentworths when you have such a vast fortune? The messenger told me that you've been provoked by a young man named Sebastian Ballard?"Anton nodded angrily. Although the Lynches were nothing
Seeing the determination on Sebastian's face, Nina had no choice but to nod and say, "Yes. I will do as you say. However, please allow me to go with you to the entrance of Mount Quiln tomorrow morning before I return to Steinberg, my lord!"Sebastian thought for a moment before he nodded and said, "Alright!"Nina squeezed out a smile when Sebastian gave his permission.After all, she had entered Mount Quiln with Sebastian before. She knew that it was very dangerous on that mountain. Even with Duo as his companion, Sebastian was sure to come across many obstacles on his journey!At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Nina opened it, and when she saw who it was, she informed Sebastian, "My lord, it's Joaquin.""Let him in," Sebastian said impassively. Joaquin walked into Sebastian's room and put on a wide smile as he said ingratiatingly, "Mr. Ballard, you mentioned that you'll be going into the mountains early tomorrow morning. Do you need me to send Mr. Gabbard and the ot
Sebastian crooked a finger at Jayden, who had gone out of his mind with fear. He was both sobbing and laughing as he went up to Sebastian.Sebastian slapped him.Jayden jolted with the shock, and blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth."Mr. Ballard, I was wrong! Please have mercy on me. After all, I didn't make any major mistakes!" Jayden said, falling to his knees.He didn't want his flesh sliced off until he was a mere skeleton, which was what had happened to Kayden."That slap is a lesson to you. Why can't you just do business properly?" Sebastian asked, frowning slightly."I'll remember this! From now on, I'm going to turn over a new leaf!"Sebastian looked down at Jayden, then waved a hand at him. After all, Jayden hadn't committed any major crimes and didn't deserve to die.Jayden thanked Sebastian profusely before fleeing from the Aequor.Joaquin glanced at Brayden and Darla and said coldly, "Inspector Jefferson, aren't you going to thank Mr. Ballard for not kill
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
