Sebastian was about to speak up when Mabel hurriedly cried out, "Ms. Sutton, you're overthinking things! How could he save you?"She continued, "Do you know where you are? This is the Celestial Tower! It's Mr. Carson's territory!Sebastian must have carried you out in the commotion when Mr. Wagner went in. The person who actually saved you must be Mr. Wagner!""Mr. Wagner?" Whitney frowned slightly. Then she turned to look at Sebastian and asked, "You're not the one who saved me?"Sebastian thought it over for a moment. He didn't want Whitney to misunderstand him, so he said impassively, "Ms. Lucero is right. It wasn't me.""See, Ms. Sutton? I told you that it wasn't him," Mabel said, looking sideways at Sebastian. Whitney furrowed her brow. She was disappointed. She had thought that Sebastian was the one who had saved her. If so, it would mean that she still meant something to him.However, it seemed that it was only her wishful thinking. "But we have no connection with Mr.
"And you? How could you say that to Ms. Sutton? Do you even have a heart?" Mabel shouted. Sebastian said coldly, "If she hadn't taken it upon herself to come here, would this have happened?""You're impossible! You ingrate!" Mabel said angrily. She turned and ran to catch up with Whitney. Sebastian watched Whitney leaving in a huff and sighed in resignation. He muttered, "Silly woman… we're already divorced. You shouldn't get yourself mixed up in this mess."Sebastian had spoken so ruthlessly because he wanted Whitney to give up on trying to help him. It would free him up from worrying later, as he was planning to do many things.Whitney would also be free from the risk of getting into trouble or being in danger just because she was his ex-wife. After a while, Hans came out of the Celestial Tower. He saw that Sebastian was still at the entrance and said hurriedly, "Dr. Ballard, everything's been taken care of.""Thank you for your hard work," Sebastian said. Then he left. H
Hans received the announcement from the Ninth Mountain very quickly."Go into the ring and compete? Give the Ninth Mountain all our assets and territory if we don't want to die?""The audacity! This is really too much! Gerald really thinks there's no one in Steinberg to oppose him and that we're all just lambs to the slaughter?" Hans was furious. He slammed his fist on the table, almost tilting the coffee cup on its surface.Joseph frowned and said, "Mr. Wagner, Gerald is trying to establish his authority here. We must be careful."Hans frowned and said in a low voice, "There's no use, Mr. Zimmer. This isn't just about establishing his authority. He wants to kill Dr. Ballard and I as an example! Tonight is a trap. If Gerald kills my whole family, please save my wife, Mr. Zimmer."Joseph raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Wagner, there may be a turn of events. Dr. Ballard might be much more powerful than we think.""I hope so." Hans sighed.He had bet everything he had on Sebasti
Everyone looked seriously at the figure."The underworld kingpin of Steinberg! The one who's really at the helm!""Mr. Wagner!""He came too!"There was an uproar in the arena at Hans' appearance. Hans was the most legendary man among the Steinberg underworld bosses. His power spread across half of Steinberg city!He also had several listed companies, and the most successful of them was Prosperity Corporation, which had a market value worth billions!Once Hans entered, the underworld bosses who were already seated rose reluctantly to bow to him. "Mr. Wagner."Hans nodded impassively. He took his seat with Joseph and the rest of his retinue. Those around him were unaware, but Hans knew that after tonight, he would either stand firm as the top dog in the Steinberg underworld or die here and become a part of Steinberg's history!He had bet the outcome on Sebastian.After a while, the bosses grew impatient of waiting and began complaining. "Where's Daniel? Why hasn't he come
They looked at Harry again, and he half-smiled as he said, "I gathered everyone here today to announce that Mr. Carson is dead. I will be in charge of the Ninth Mountain as Mr. Lambert of Steinberg!"The moment he finished, the underlings of the Ninth Mountain began chorusing his name loudly."Mr. Lambert!"Harry stretched out his arms, thoroughly enjoying the moment.He felt as if he was flying high, and it felt intoxicating to have this kind of authority in his hands!He waved his hand, and his underlings stopped shouting at once. He swept a cold gaze over the crowd and said, "Does anyone have a problem with this?"Felix, Tristan, Dominic and the rest all exchanged glances. Then they looked at Hans, whose eyes were closed as if he was resting."Since no one has any objection, I'll announce the next thing." Harry put his hands behind his back and said importantly."Hurry up!" Felix yelled.Harry looked threateningly at Felix and said coldly, "Tonight, a boxing match will be h
Gerald stood in the ring and said coldly, "You're not worthy of knowing who I am. I'll give you one chance. Give up your territory and submit to me! Otherwise, you die!"Felix's heart dropped to his stomach. He looked at the man next to him and said, "Titus Kart! It's up to you now!"Titus got up. He stared grimly at Gerald, who was in the ring, and said coldly, "I'll fight you!"Gerald laughed slightly and said, "You're no match for me.""You'll know whether I am or not after we fight!" Titus barked. His footsteps thumped across the floor, and he jumped into the ring.The force of his footsteps left a trail of cracks on the floor. Titus stood in the ring and stared intently at Gerald, who stood opposite him. He didn't know why, but he could feel a heavy pressure coming from Gerald. It was something that Titus had never felt before!"After you." Titus bowed. Gerald stood with his hands behind his back and said disdainfully, "I don't even need to touch you to kill you.""You'
Hans was incredibly moved. "Mr. Zimmer…" he murmured.Joseph flashed a small smile and straightened his posture before he made his way up the stage. He had an air of resoluteness to him that made him look a decade younger than he was."Mr. Wagner, I wasn't able to help you out the last time you had a duel. This time, I will help you by buying time for Dr. Ballard!" Joseph declared with a determined tone.Gerald, who was standing in the ring, scowled slightly as he watched Joseph. He then chuckled before he said, "Since you are an Inner Strength Master, I acknowledge that you have some level of capability. However, it's a shame that you seem to be hurt."Gerald then declared coolly, "If you fight me, you will die."Joseph had already made his way onto the stage by that point, and he stood before Gerald with his hands behind his back.With his posture and silent determination, he looked refined and powerful."Death is nothing to be afraid of. To be honest, I've always wanted to
"Why would someone so powerful go overseas?" someone asked in confusion.Tristan pondered the question silently before, and his expression was one of terror as he replied, "Malcolm was a vicious and cunning man who had no qualms about committing crimes. He was incredibly powerful back then and reigned terror over Jerose."He paused before continuing, "In the end, only Benedict Ziegler from the Alpha strike force was able to subdue him, and Malcolm was forced to swear never to step foot in Crestborne ever again!"The crowd broke into another heated discussion at that."Benedict Ziegler? The man from the northern military region?" The crowd's expression had shifted from disbelief to adoration once Benedict was mentioned.Benedict was something of a legend within Crestborne!He was considered a martial arts prodigy and had become a martial arts Grandmaster at the young age of twenty, making him the youngest person ever in Crestborne to become a martial arts Grandmaster.Now, he w
