"Yes, Ms. Carlton." The person on the other end of the line responded.After Lorraine hung up, she looked coldly at Brad, who looked uncomfortable. She said in a displeased tone, "You're becoming more and more cowardly, Brad!"Brad opened his mouth and said, "Honey, let's not be impulsive. Whitney is Dr. Ballard's ex-wife. If we capture her and Dr. Ballard goes mad, the consequences will be dire.""I'll take care of this, alright?" Lorraine said angrily, "Who cares about Dr. Ballard? Have you gone mad? Your son has been beaten up so badly, but instead of thinking about revenge, you're actually trying to tell me not to be impulsive?""Honey—" Brad tried to explain.However, she glared at him and said in an icy voice, "You don't need to intervene. I'll take care of it myself!"She added, "Who the hell is Dr. Ballard? How dare he touch my son? I'll make him wish that he was dead!"Lorraine looked at Louis, who was lying in bed in a coma. She turned and walked out of the hospital wa
The phone in Mabel's hand fell to the floor.The man in a gray suit with the scar, Morris Glewer, walked up to her. He raised his foot and crushed the phone under it!Whitney panicked. She rushed toward Mabel and shook her anxiously, "Mabel! Mabel!""Asshole! Who the hell are you? What do you want?" Whitney looked up and glared at them.Morris smiled sinisterly. He waved his hand and said coldly, "Take them away!"At once, a few burly, black-suited men stepped forward swiftly. They stationed themselves on either side of Whitney and began dragging her out of the conference room.Whitney struggled desperately as she shouted, "What do you want? It's broad daylight, and you're kidnapping me! This is a crime!""Call the police! Hurry up and call the police!" Whitney yelled at the company executives and shareholders, who were frozen in fear. They finally reacted. Some of them got up to try and stop the men. Others pulled their phones out to call the police. However, there was anothe
Sebastian hung up at once. He turned back, flagged down a cab, and headed straight for the Gold Phoenix Club!Although he and Whitney were divorced, according to Mabel, the other party had come for Whitney because of him. No matter what, he could not let Whitney be hurt on his account!Were the Ballards behind this?Or was it someone else…Sebastian was extremely anxious.… In the Gold Phoenix Club, Whitney woke up groggily. She found herself on the floor, and when she touched her forehead, she could feel wet streaks of blood.She was dazed as she looked around. She saw Morris. He sat on a sofa in the center of the room, savoring his whiskey. The look in his eyes was evil and sinister as he stared at her. There were seven or eight men in black suits standing around them. All of them looked ferocious. "Who on earth are you? What do you want? I haven't offended you somehow, have I?"Whitney asked. She took a deep breath and tried her best to calm down. She had to know why
"Please, let me go…" Whitney begged for mercy weakly.Morris laughed coldly. "If you're able to beg for mercy, it means that we haven't beaten you up enough. Keep going!""Okay!" the black-suited men answered. They continued whipping her mercilessly. The blood-curdling screams in the room echoed throughout the entire club. Everyone who heard them shuddered. The beating continued for more than ten minutes until Whitney was close to the brink of death.Suddenly, Morris' phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and immediately stood up respectfully. He answered the call and smiled as he said, "What are your commands, boss?""Where is she?" Lorraine's cold, ruthless voice came over the line. "We're beating her up." Morris raised the phone and gestured to his subordinates to lash Whitney a few more times.Whitney screamed again and then fainted.After Lorraine heard her, she nodded in satisfaction and said, "Remember, make sure she's still alive, but barely!"She added. "Mak
Whitney was wailing inside the room. Her beautiful face was now a terrifying sight, as it was covered with injuries. Blood trickled down her cheeks and dripped onto the floor."Aaargh!" she screamed in pain, struggling with all her strength. However, Morris held on tightly to her hair as he slashed her face again and again!"Ms. Sutton, don't blame me. This is all because your ex-husband offended someone that he shouldn't have offended," he said viciously as the dagger slashed her face open again. A bloody gash opened up on her face.After a few minutes, Whitney was covered in blood from the inhumane torture. Her clothes had been torn from the lashings she had received, and her face was covered in blood and horrifying wounds.She screamed in pain again, but her voice had become hoarse because of her constant screaming. She was seizing up as she lay in a puddle of blood, staring at the floor in despair. She had never imagined that she would ever go through such inhumane torture
"Get lost!" Morris roared.The waitresses were pale with fear as they ran to the staircase and fled downstairs as if their lives depended on it.Sebastian ran through the entrance at that moment. His expression twisted when he saw the waitresses running down the stairs in a panic. He asked urgently, "Which floor were the screams coming from?"The waitresses were dumb with fright, and they looked wordlessly at the staircase with fear in their eyes.Suddenly, there was a heartbreaking scream from the staircase.A bloody figure rolled down the stairs all the way into the lobby. Blood stained the stairs and the white tiles of the lobby.All the workers and guests in the lobby shook with fright and began screaming.Sebastian stared with his eyes bulging!"W-Whitney…?"The moment he saw her, Sebastian shuddered violently. His eyes focused, and an air of menace seemed to rise up around him!It was Whitney!How could this have happened?At that moment, Sebastian looked like a tig
There was disdain and anger in Morris' eyes as he looked at Sebastian. Anyone who dared to save someone that Lorraine ordered to die must have a death wish!"How dare you save someone marked by our boss! You punk, how many lives do you have?" he said angrily. He was extremely displeased!"Were you the one who did that to her?" Sebastian's eyes were as cold as death as he stared at Morris. It was as if he was looking at a dead man walking. "Yeah, it was me." Morris laughed coldly and sinisterly. He asked, "Are you thinking of getting revenge? Don't you know what kind of place this is? Don't play the hero!"Otherwise, not only you, but your family, friends and relatives, will pay a terrible price for your foolish actions today." Sebastian clenched his fists tightly. He exuded a menacing air as he said icily, "You deserve to die for touching my ex-wife." Morris' expression changed. Then he scoffed. "So, you're Sebastian! I didn't think that you would get here so soon. It saves me
Morris felt his entire body go numb at once, and he lay on the ground, unable to move. He could only watch as Sebastian picked up a dagger from the floor and walked toward him."Y-You can't touch me! I'm with the Sunway Carltons! If you touch me, my boss is not going to let you get away with it!" he yelled.Sebastian's expression darkened, and he said coldly, "The Sunway Carltons? Thanks for reminding me. However, for every injury on Winnie's body, you're going to experience it ten times more!" Sebastian raised his hand and made a horrifying slash on Morris' face. The flesh split apart at once, and blood began flowing out of the wound."Aargh!" Morris screamed. He yelled, "Asshole! You asshole! I belong to the Sunway Carltons! My boss won't let you get away with this!""Tell me, why? I've never offended any Sunway Carltons. Why would your boss want to hurt my ex-wife so severely?" Sebastian asked in an icy tone.Morris hesitated. There was another slash of the dagger, and a bl
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
