The slap puzzled Dante so much that he looked at Kevin with widened eyes. He then bowed and said, "Mr. Carlton Senior, I-I was just helping you to tie him up!"Dante's face was filled with horror. What was Kevin thinking? Why did he slap him for Sebastian?"That's up to me to decide, and it's none of your business! Scram!" Kevin roared as he vented his anger on Dante.Dante was so scared that he shivered and nodded profusely. "Alright, I will leave n-now…"The members of the Sutton family were also afraid. They looked at each other and didn't dare to walk forward.Kevin's face darkened as he looked at Sebastian and approached him.Whitney, who was standing behind Sebastian, went forward. She started to apologize to Kevin, "Mr. Carlton Senior, we're so sorry. This happened because of me. "If you want, you can take me away. Sebastian hit Ms. Carlton to avenge me. He didn't do it on purpose, so please show him mercy. Don't bring him away."Whitney continued, "I will bear the r
Under everyone's shocked gazes, Kevin walked toward the crying Whitney and lowered his head. "Ms. Sutton, I'm sorry."They were all stunned! What was happening? Why was Kevin apologizing to Whitney?The Sutton family members couldn't believe what they were witnessing.He was the head of the Sunway Carlton family. He was powerful and had a high status."Mr. Carlton Senior, what are you doing?" Edna asked.Kevin didn't even spare her a glance, still speaking to the surprised Whitney, "Ms. Sutton, I have investigated the whole reason for the incident. It's because of my useless grandson that this happened. "It's my daughter and her son's fault. Our family is to blame. Please forgive my daughter and grandson, if you will."Then, Kevin bowed once, which made everyone's jaw drop.Kevin apologized! What on Earth was going on?Whitney was stunned too. She didn't expect things to turn out this way.Kevin had actually apologized to her. "Mr. Carlton Senior… I-I am at fault too. My e
Whitney's words made everyone look at Sebastian.Right, Sebastian had beaten Lorraine to an extent that was worse than Whitney's condition. However, Kevin wasn't even mad or sought revenge. Instead, he came to apologize.Was Sebastian hiding something from them?"Sebastian, what's going on? You'd better explain!" Crystal shouted, gazing at him sharply. Sebastian frowned and said, "I've already said I would handle this issue. Since everything's fine now, I'll take my leave."Crystal's face changed. Was it really this brat who handled the matter?Whitney was also giving Sebastian a strange look. Just when she was about to ask more questions, Fergus, dressed in his suit and tie, rushed into the house.When he saw that everyone was there, he said loudly, "I have good news! About the issue between the Sutton family and the Sunway Carlton family, things will be fine soon! I asked my dad to use his connections to persuade them. Winnie, don't worry. I'm here now!"Fergus looked at Whi
"I told him!" Crystal said and scolded Whitney, "You ingrate! Why would you bear the responsibility for Sebastian? If I hadn't contacted Fergus and told him about this, would we all be safe now?"Crystal then turned to Sebastian. "And you! You should thank Fergus for his help, or the Sunway Carlton family would've taken you away! What are you waiting for? Thank him!"Everyone turned to look at Sebastian.He frowned. "Thank him? Are you so sure that it's all because of him?""Oh, come on! That's really funny! If it wasn't for Fergus, was it you then?" Crystal rolled her eyes, clearly annoyed. "If it weren't for Fergus, the Sutton family would have been done for long ago!""Exactly! Sebastian, if it weren't for Fergus stepping in, you hitting Lorraine would have been enough to get yourself punished a hundred times over!" Dante chimed in fiercely.Sebastian snorted. "You think Fergus is the savior of your family?"Sebastian couldn't understand at all. Were these people brain-dead?
Sebastian frowned as he looked at Whitney. After some time, he exhaled and said coldly, "Not me."Sebastian was tired. He didn't want to argue with these people anymore.The point was that he didn't want this whole issue to make Whitney develop any feelings or anticipation toward him. They were not meant together, and that was final.Upon hearing his words, Whitney's eyes dimmed and were replaced with disappointment."It's not him. It's really not him…" Whitney muttered to herself with teary eyes."I told you! It's not him, for sure! Do you believe me now?" Crystal shouted as she cast Sebastian an angry look. She continued, "Sebastian, you're finally honest for once! I knew it couldn't be you! If not for Fergus, we might have been deceived by you!"Dante chimed in and said, "That's right! Sebastian, are you trying to scam my sister into remarrying you again? In your dreams!"The rest of the Suttons started to voice their discontent as well. "Hpmh, it turns out that was his i
Whitney was furious too. With a cold voice, she asked, "Sebastian, why did you hit him?"Fergus helped her settle the matter, yet Sebastian treated him this way. How rude!Was Sebastian really jealous? Since when had he become like that?"Didn't you see that he started it first? Also, did I even do anything?" Sebastian's face darkened."He only grabbed your shoulder!" Whitney replied coldly.Sebastian raised an eyebrow and laughed mockingly. "So, you mean he grabbed my shoulder only, and as for me, I hit him back? I'm that horrible, huh?""Don't try to be unreasonable! Fergus helped our family solve the matter, yet you treated him this way! What do you want? If you're so capable, handle it yourself!"Sebastian frowned. How foolish. Whitney really thought Fergus was the one who handled it.With a cold expression, Sebastian said, "Since you trust him so much, marry him!"Everyone fell silent at his words.Whitney looked at Sebastian in disbelief, and her eyes welled up with t
Sebastian left the Sutton residence.As he stepped out of the house, Sebastian's expression became bewildered and helpless.Those words just now weren't his true intentions, but in order for Whitney to completely forget about him, he had to do it this way.Especially at the moment of leaving, seeing Whitney's disappointed gaze, Sebastian felt a sharp pain in his heart.But he knew Whitney didn't belong to him. She couldn't belong to him.He had many things to do. Just dealing with the Ballard family alone was enough for Sebastian.If Whitney stayed by his side or had any relationship with him, it would only bring her more trouble and danger."I'm sorry, your future shouldn't have anything to do with me." Sebastian sighed and blended into the crowd.At this moment, inside the Sutton residence, Whitney was crying so miserably that she seemed to have completely collapsed to the floor."Winnie, please don't cry. What's so great about Sebastian? He's a scum! Haven't you seen throug
Fergus was excited as he said, "I will think of a way, even if it means getting you the stars in the sky!"Whitney shook her head and said, "I don't need stars. I just want the wedding to be extremely grand. I want to tell someone that I have married well!""No problem! I promise I'll give you the best wedding ever! I'll invite all the big shots in Steinberg to attend our wedding!" Fergus replied excitedly.Whitney nodded. "I'm tired. I'm going to rest.""Do you need me to send you?" Fergus asked in concern."No. I want to be alone for now." Whitney then left the hall and went to her room.All the Suttons were delighted as they discussed the wedding in three days.Crystal watched Whitney's retreating figure, feeling a pang of guilt in her heart. How could she not know what her daughter was thinking? But it was clear that Sebastian wasn't the right match for Whitney. Fergus was the one Whitney deserved to marry.After some thought, Crystal followed Whitney and arrived at the d
"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
"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
