Everyone's jaw dropped at that and Alvin, Jason and Cassandra's expressions were of utter disbelief.What did Sebastian mean by that?Why did he need to approve?What did he mean?Was he saying that he was the owner of the Artic Snow Mask?Alvin frowned at Sebastian. "What do you mean by that? Are you the man behind the Artic Snow Mask?" "Yes," Sebastian replied mildly.Jason and Cassandra burst into mocking giggles at that."No way! You're the owner of the company behind the Artic Snow Mask?" Jason exclaimed in disbelief as he laughed boisterously.Cassandra also giggled as she asked, "Rosalie, your friend is hilarious. How could he even think to say something so outrageous?"She then turned to Sebastian before she said, "How could you be the owner of the company of Artic Snow Mask and still dress like that?"Sebastian remained stone-faced even as everyone else laughed at him.Rosalie opened her mouth to defend him but before she could say anything, Sebastian placed his h
To show off just how powerful he was, Alvin then turned to Scorpio and challenged, "Fight me!"Scorpio raised an eyebrow before he scoffed. "I admit you have some skill but that won't be enough for you to defeat me!"Scorpio then roared and stomped his foot, making spiritual energy roll off him in waves.After that, he swung a fist right at Alvin's face at the speed of light.Alvin didn't even have time to react and he was thrown backward.Alvin's face was stained with blood and he clutched his broken nose as he got back onto his feet."Fuck you! Don't you know martial arts etiquette?" he snarled as he glared at Scorpio.However, Alvin knew deep down that Scorpio was not an easy opponent."Come on then. Fight me!" Scorpio mocked, beckoning Alvin with the same hand gesture that he had used moments ago.Alvin felt his temper rise and he roared, "How dare you mock me! I'll give you a chance, if you beg for mercy, I'll let you live. If not, I'll attack and you'll definitely die!"
The three men wore equally bloodthirsty expressions and it was clear that they were nothing like Scorpio and his men.These three men were true killers!The energy they radiated was oppressive and filled with bloodlust and it made Jason and Cassandra shudder.The both of them then scrambled behind Alvin.Alvin, for some reason, seemed oblivious and he arrogantly scoffed, "Oh look! Another three people who have a death wish!"The man wearing the black martial arts robe took one look at Scorpio and his men, who were on the ground, and asked, "You did this?""Yeah! What about it?" Alvin replied confidently. "What is it? Do the three of you want to end up like them too?""What a cocky bastard. I'm looking forward to seeing you beg me for mercy," the man in black replied coldly."Fuck you! You're the one who's going to beg for mercy!" Alvin growled. "Do you think I'm scared of you? I graduated from Janover School of Martial Arts as one of their top five students!"After that, Alvin
Alvin was shocked and his terror only grew when he saw the gleaming dagger.Fugitives!These men were fugitives!He was doomed.However, Rosalie was still watching him so he couldn't possibly back down. He gritted his teeth and snarled, "If you have the balls, you'll tell me your names!"The man in the black robes smiled coldly before he replied, "Listen up then, we're the Demonic Trio!""What? The Demonic Trio?" Alvin stammered in disbelief as sweat beaded on his forehead."Fuck! They're The Demonic Trio…" Cassandra and Jason muttered fearfully.The Demonic Trio were notorious for their crimes and were the most feared criminals in the northwest region.These three brothers had murdered hundreds of people and were the epitome of a criminal!They were so terrifying that they could scare off stray dogs with just a glare and Cassandra, Jason, and Alvin were also shocked into silence at this revelation."It's doomed. The Demonic Trio are the worst of the worst criminals," Cassa
Sebastian frowned and raised an arm to grab at the man in green's fist.After that, there was a crunch as Sebastian broke the man's arm effortlessly.The man let out an anguished howl of pain. His right arm was currently at an odd angle and his bone was exposed.Before the man could do anything else, Sebastian grabbed his neck and with a flick of his wrist, he broke the man's neck.It all happened so quickly that the man probably didn't even know how exactly he had died.The man in green's body slumped lifelessly to the ground and everyone present was horrified.That was terrifying!Sebastian had killed him in a matter of seconds… was he a demon?Jason and Cassandra's expression shifted from fear to confusion and now terror and it was as if they were seeing Sebastian in a new light."Brother!" the remaining man, who was wearing a grey martial arts robe, yelled."You bastard! You killed my brothers! Prepare to die!" the man howled.After that, spiritual energy rolled off his
The man spat out a mouthful of blood and his expression was one of pure terror as he stared at Sebastian."Who… who are you? Why are you so powerful?" he stammered."How could you call yourself a part of The Demonic trio with your measly skills?" Sebastian asked mildly.Everyone was shocked into silence at that. Jason looked like he had seen a ghost and Cassandra couldn't believe what she had just seen.Alvin was also rendered speechless.Jason swallowed unconsciously. "Impossible… is he a monster?" he stammered.The Demonic Trio were notorious and everyone knew how powerful they were and yet Sebastian had easily defeated them.Cassandra's eyes were as wide as saucers and were filled with pure terror."How is he so strong?" she asked in disbelief.She thought that Sebastian was nothing more than a pretty face but it seemed like she was wrong.He was definitely more than just a pretty face and he might even be more powerful than Alvin, who was quite well-known within the mar
Stephen huffed and rolled his eyes before he snapped, "Did you have something to do with Rosalie's attempted kidnapping?"Sebastian frowned in annoyance. "What are you trying to say?" he asked in a low voice.Stephen scoffed. "Isn't it obvious? I suspect that you're the mastermind behind this! I bet you staged this just so you can heroically save her and make her fall for you even more!" he sneered."You have such a strong imagination, Mr. Beckard. Have you considered becoming a writer?" Sebastian mocked."Drop the act!" Stephen snapped. Then, he turned to his men and ordered, "Take down this bastard!"Stephen's bodyguards, who had been standing at attention behind him, quickly sprang into action. They moved to grab Sebastian."That's enough!" Rosalie snapped. Her expression was thunderous as she continued, "What do you think you're doing, Stephan? Sebastian just saved me! How could you accuse him of planning this?""You've been blinded by him, Rosalie! Think about it. Besides
Stephen paled at the sight. "Impossible!" he exclaimed in disbelief.Shadow was a professional archer he had recently hired from Janover to beat Sebastian, yet Sebastian had easily defeated him!Just how powerful was Sebastian?Shadow clutched his chest as he spat out another mouthful of fresh blood. His eyes were filled with terror as he asked, "How are you so strong? Which sect are you from?"Sebastian glared at him disdainfully as he replied, "You don't deserve to know that. However, I see that the Thunder Bow Sect is still as weak as ever."He sneered, "Besides being able to use a bow and arrow, everyone in your sect is practically useless!"Sebastian's words had their intended effect, and Shadow stared at him in horror as he asked, "You… you know my sect?""Is there a problem?" Sebastian challenged with a smile.Ignoring Shadow, he turned his attention to Stephen, who looked as pale as a sheet. "Mr. Beckard, if you have any other tricks up your sleeve, you can just revea
"What is your name, sir?" the bodyguard in the lead asked, smiling as he handed Sebastian a cigarette."Sebastian Ballard." As there was a child in the car and the windows were all closed, Sebastian waved the cigarette away."I've never heard of you before!" The bodyguard gave him a name card and said, "My name is Daxton Haddock!"Sebastian took the name card and smiled at Daxton. "I'm not from Boren. I just came here for a trip to Mount Quiln."Daxton was startled. Although the area around Mount Quiln was a popular tourist area, strange things had been happening there continuously since autumn the year before. No one had come there for a holiday for more than half a year."Mr. Ballard, are you confident of being able to save Ms. Candy?" Daxton asked rather worriedly. After all, even Solomon had said that there was no cure for a condition like hers. Sebastian was a young man in his 20s who looked very confident. It was hard not to be doubtful.Sebastian shook his head slightl
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
"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
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
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
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
"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
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
"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
