"Mom? Dante? Why are you guys here?" Whitney asked in confusion.Then, she quickly pulled the blanket up to cover her face.Crystal's heart dropped to her stomach, and she grabbed Whitney's blanket. "Whitney, what happened to your face? Let me have a look!""Mom, I'm fine." Whitney tried to cover herself, but she couldn't.Seeing Whitney covered in bruises and wounds, Crystal couldn't help but cry out in distress, "Who dared to lay a hand on you like this? I'll get them right now! I'll make sure they pay for what they did!"As a mother, who wouldn't ache at the sight of her daughter's injuries?Whitney remained silent.Crystal turned her gaze to Sebastian, glaring at him with frustration. "You, what's going on here? Did you do this? If you dare lay a finger on my daughter? I'll skin you alive!"With anger boiling within her, Crystal moved to take action.Sebastian frowned, and his expression darkened.Whitney hurriedly exclaimed, "Mom, it wasn't Sebastian. Please don't make a
If it was Whitney's fault, Crystal would even accompany her to apologize in person."What else could it be? It's all because of Sebastian!" Suddenly, two more figures rushed in through the door—Mabel and Theresa."Whit!" Theresa ran over nervously, sitting beside Whitney. Seeing her condition, she felt deeply distressed.Mabel, on the other hand, glared at Sebastian. "Sebastian! The reason Ms. Sutton ended up like this is all because of you! I've had it investigated thoroughly. "The reason Lorraine from the Carlton family did this is solely because you injured Louis! Louis is Lorraine's son, and she flew back specifically for him from abroad!"With those words, everyone in the room was stunned."Exactly! I was wondering how Winnie, with her gentle demeanor, could offend the Carlton family. Turns out, it's all you!" Crystal shouted. She immediately pointed at Sebastian and cursed, "You scoundrel! You're nothing but bad luck! I told you to stay away from Winnie! Look at her no
Sebastian frowned as he looked at Whitney. "Are you worried about me?""I…" Whitney was stunned, and her gaze flickered. "I just don't want you to get involved in my affairs. This all happened because of me, so I don't want anyone to suffer because of me.""Winnie, are you out of your mind?" Crystal was infuriated. She shouted, "Sebastian is the one who harmed Louis, so he should bear the responsibility. Don't be stupid! We're talking about the Sunway Carlton family here. If they blame this on you, then the entire Sutton family will be affected too!""That's right, Winnie! Don't be foolish!" Dante was anxious too.With so many people talking around her, Whitney felt helpless as well. She shouted, "Alright! Stop fighting! This is my decision, so don't try to change my mind anymore. I won't let Sebastian handle everything alone!Crystal was so angry that she said, "You… You'll be the end of me! Are you seriously risking our entire family for this jerk?""Winnie, Mom's right. I do
Seeing Whitney not heeding his advice, Sebastian's expression darkened. He shouted, "Enough! Do I have to spell it out for you? Whitney! I told you, this matter doesn't concern you! With you here, it'll only bring me more trouble!"Upon hearing this, Whitney froze. Her eyes instantly turned red, filled with tears. She hadn't expected Sebastian, who had just been gentle and sweet, to suddenly change his demeanor and say such things!"Do… do you really mean that?" Whitney asked. Looking at Sebastian's cold expression, she felt incredibly distant from him. In her heart, there was a deep sense of bitterness. Wasn't she doing all this for him? But he actually despised her for causing trouble."Yes!" Sebastian said firmly."I don't believe it, I don't believe it! You don't mean it…" Whitney shook her head, crying.Sebastian's expression darkened again, and he said resolutely, "Believe it or not, I don't need your help, and I don't need you to do so much for me! "My affairs don't
In the rain, the two black vans stopped in front of the grocery store.With a clatter, the van doors swung open! Seven or eight men in black clothes with machetes in their hands jumped out of the vehicles. They glared menacingly at Sebastian standing at the doorway and Robert sitting there, smoking his pipe."Are you Sebastian?" one of them, the leader, asked coldly.The machetes in their hands glinted sharply!"Yes," Sebastian replied calmly.The leader sneered, and with a swift swing of his machete, he grimly said, "I'll send you on your way!"As the words fell, he aimed a powerful blow directly at Sebastian. The speed and force behind it were beyond ordinary.Robert, still puffing on his pipe, chuckled. "Oh, you've got some skill there. Not your average Joe, there's a real martial artist here."Sebastian naturally noticed it too as his brow furrowed slightly.If he wasn't mistaken, these people in front of him were all martial artists. Their stance and energy were more po
A moment later, the disciples of Drager Martial Arts were shaking uncontrollably from the heavy rain. Several of them couldn't bear it and passed out."Robert, how much do you know about Drager Martial Arts?" Sebastian asked Robert beside him.Robert explained, "Drager Martial Arts ranks first among the various martial arts schools in Steinberg. They are formidable and have many members, but their quality varies. The head of Drager Martial Arts is a man named Jacob Stewart, who is likely a Grandmaster."Robert added, "He's known to be sociable and has connections with various figures from all walks of life. Many notorious criminals and thugs are said to be associated with Drager Martial Arts too. "In essence, Drager Martial Arts is not just a martial arts school. It functions more like a martial arts alliance. And Jacob is its leader, holding considerable power and influence in Steinberg."Upon hearing this, Sebastian frowned slightly, but his expression remained calm as he said,
"You're seeking death!" Jacob declared coldly. Then, he added, "However, I am not one to bully the weak. As long as you kneel and apologize, I can spare your life for the time being!"Sebastian chuckled and replied, "You're quite compassionate. Wouldn't it be impolite of me to not accept this kind offer?""It's good that you know," Jacob said arrogantly.However, Sebastian's expression changed, and he retorted coldly, "If you want to fight, then fight. Spare me the stupid talk!"At Sebastian's words, Jacob's face darkened, and he grew furious. He shouted, "Kid! It seems you're unwilling to accept kindness but would rather invite punishment. In that case, don't blame me for using force!""You guys, attack!" Jacob gestured with his hand.Immediately, several disciples from the martial arts school rushed forward, charging at Sebastian.They attacked with fierce momentum and cunning moves. But the next moment, before everyone could react, those disciples who rushed forward were se
A Grandmaster in his twenties? That was downright terrifying!Someone like that could go places in the martial arts world, no doubt. But why would such a talent be stuck hiding out here?"Mr. Stewart, are you okay?" A couple of disciples hurried over, looking concerned.Jacob frowned, shaking his head. "I'm fine. That punk just sucker-punched me when I wasn't looking. What a cheap shot!"Jacob wasn't about to admit he got outplayed. It'd deal a blow to his authority.The disciples caught on quickly, turning to Sebastian with accusations."You sneaky little… Who attacks from behind?""Screw this! Let's take him down, guys!""Mr. Stewart, let us handle this for you."The disciples were all fired up, itching for a fight.Jacob's eyes narrowed, his voice cold as he said, "No need. I'll deal with him personally!"With a roar, Jacob unleashed his internal energy and threw another punch at Sebastian. The punch was fierce and domineering!But Sebastian didn't even flinch. He caught
