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
Whitney was rendered speechless before her temper flared, and she snapped, "What are you trying to say? Don't beat around the bush!"She was livid. How could Sebastian say that?Sebastian chuckled. "Ms. Sutton, have I not made myself clear? Do you need me to be more direct?"Whitney frowned and shouted into the receiver coldly, "Go on then! Be more direct! I would love to hear what you have to say!""Alright. Let's never meet again. Just prepare for your wedding to Fergus," Sebastian replied curtly. His finger then hovered over the "End Call" button."Sebastian!" Whitney screeched before he could hang up.Sebastian brought the phone back to his ear. "Do you need something else, Ms. Sutton?" "You were the one who forced me to get married to Fergus!""I forced you? When did I do that?"Whitney huffed and opened her mouth to vent her feelings but swallowed her words at the last minute."Whatever, I don't have the energy to argue with you," she huffed instead. "I wanted to talk
Stephen returned to his hotel and was in a foul mood."Useless trash!" he roared as he kicked an already injured Shadow.Shadow crashed to the floor and mumbled gruffly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Beckard. I was no match for him."Stephen was furious as he snapped, "Aren't the disciples of the Thunder Bow Sect always saying that they are undefeatable? Look! You were defeated by a useless idiot! How embarrassing!"Shadow had nothing to say to defend himself, and Stephen planted himself onto the sofa with a huff. Once his anger had subsided slightly, he turned to Shadow with a dark expression."What do we do now? That Sebastian bastard is so arrogant that I won't feel good if I don't teach him a lesson!"Shadow scrambled to his feet and bowed respectfully. "Mr. Beckard, I have a senior who is one of the best disciples of my sect. He would only need three arrows to kill Sebastian, and he doesn't even need to be close to him to do so." Stephen's mood visibly brightened. "Really?""Yes."
"What do you want?" Colton asked, sobbing as he looked up."What do I want? That depends on what you want, Mr. Lynch!"Sebastian sneered and continued. "Didn't you say that if I don't sell what I'm holding to you, I won't be allowed to leave this street? Well, I don't like getting threatened by people, so I had no choice but to give you a slight bump!"Colton's face was covered in tears and snot. He said tearfully, "If you don't want to sell it, then don't! Please stop torturing me. I'm about to die from the pain! Go away. I really don't want that buckle anymore!"Jayden couldn't help swallowing. Sebastian was ruthless. He had tortured an heir from an elite martial arts family so severely that the latter was now losing his mind from the pain."Does that mean I can leave now?" Sebastian asked, smiling widely.Colton nodded quickly. If Sebastian didn't leave soon, he would die!"Mr. Lynch, take care of yourself from now on. You won't always be so lucky!" Sebastian said. He sneered
Sebastian had also almost shattered Colton's chin. Not only that, he had slapped Colton in front of hundreds of people there on the street of antique stalls. Courage wasn't the only thing required to do such a thing."I dislike that look of hatred in your eyes," Sebastian said, sneering as he looked down at Colton.Colton lowered his head quickly, not daring to look at Sebastian again.There was a snap as Sebastian pressed a hand on Colton's shoulder and exerted a slight force. As everyone heard the sound of bones breaking, half of Colton's shoulder sunk in. It hurt so much that Colton couldn't help but shriek.The onlookers all gasped involuntarily. Sebastian had just hurt Colton Lynch!"Let's not go too far, my young friend! The Lynch family has great influence in Acorn City. You will get nothing for killing him!" Solomon walked out of the crowd once more and tried to advise Sebastian out of the kindness of his heart.Colton was sweating profusely. The pain he felt in his sho
The speed of the punch made even Colton nod in approval.It was the Mountainsplit Punch, which was Bryson's signature move. He could smash a stone plaque with a punch like that, so one could imagine what it would do to a person. Sebastian just raised an arm casually and threw a punch that did not appear strong at all. There was a loud bang."Aargh!"Sebastian's fist collided against Bryson's, but right after that, Bryson flew backward like a broken kite. His entire arm had broken under the force of Sebastian's punch. Pale white bone poked out of his shoulder, and his shirt was soon stained with blood. Bryson didn't even make a sound before fainting from the pain."Mr. Lynch, the fighters from your family aren't very impressive," Sebastian said, smiling widely as he clasped his hands behind his back. Colton had been extremely alarmed by what he had just witnessed. Bryson had just been defeated! The man was famous for his iron-hard fist, which could shake up the whole of Moun
From how pale Sebastian was, Bryson deduced that he must be very sick or extremely weak. He even felt that fighting against Sebastian would be an insult.Although he wasn't the top fighter in the Lynch family, he was still one of the best ones. There was no honor in winning against a sick person."I'm going to give you the same words," Sebastian said, smiling widely."Mr. Lynch, he's actually very powerful. I don't think that Bryson will be a match for him. Why don't you let them attack together?"Jayden had seen Sebastian fight before. Although he could see that Sebastian looked unwell, he was still an expert. It would be better to be more wary. Colton rolled his eyes at Jayden. He knew Bryson's skill level. How could an expert who was at the eighth level of the Energy Refining Technique lose against a sick man?Sebastian looked so frail that he was sure to be knocked out as soon as they started fighting. Plus, the number of people in the whole of Acorn City who could last more
Colton nodded slightly and patted Cliff on the shoulder. He turned and said to Sebastian, "You heard him. He's one of our men. Therefore, you can't take that with you, but you won't make too much of a loss. Here's a check for 500 thousand dollars. Hand that emerald buckle over!"Colton was clearly not going to give Sebastian a choice in the matter. He was used to doing whatever he pleased by relying on his family's influence. Besides, they were also on very good terms with the local Martial Arts Court. He couldn't use his family's connections for the grudge between Jayden and Sebastian, but he would have ample reason to use the Lynches' influence for a priceless emerald buckle.There always had to be a legitimate reason. Clearly, Colton was smarter than Jayden. "I'm not interested in your check, and I'm not going to give it to you either!" Sebastian answered coldly without even glancing at the check.Colton looked thoughtfully at Sebastian and clasped his hands behind his back.
Sebastian had just walked out of the antiques street and had held out his hand to flag down a cab when a middle-aged man in black training clothes walked over to him. The man held out a hand to block Sebastian and Unus' path."Stop!" Sebastian glanced at the middle-aged man and asked, "And what can I do for you?""Mr. Lynch wants to see you. Come with me!" the middle-aged man said icily."Mr. Lynch? Who the hell is that?" Sebastian asked sardonically, sneering. "It's Colton Lynch, and you better remember it!"Sebastian heard a clear, crisp voice. Two young men walked over to him, one walking slightly in front of the other.There was a young man in a branded suit next to the first one. Sebastian couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw the young man next to Colton. It was Jayden, his old friend from Sartvale.Sebastian had never expected to meet Jayden Acorn City. Now that he thought about it, Jayden still owed him a life. If Sebastian hadn't shown mercy to him, the flowers
The old man nodded slightly and said, "That's right. My name is Solomon Jackman. If you think things through, you can come to Townsend Clinic. We can discuss the price!"Solomon bowed to Sebastian before squeezing out of the crowd. Cliff's eyes reddened as he watched Solomon leave. Solomon was a prominent figure in Acorn City. Not only did he have exceptional medical skills, he was also skilled in martial arts. However, neither of those were Solomon's true specialty. What he was most skilled at was antique appraisal! Any antique that Solomon appraised was sure to be a treasure among treasures.Noticing Sebastian and Unus turning to walk away, Cliff immediately became agitated. "Stop!" he shouted.Sebastian turned to glance at him and said, "A deal's a deal. No returns or refunds. You said that yourself. It's the rule of the antique industry!"Cliff ignored all of that. He came out from behind his stall and grabbed Sebastian's sleeve. "I'm not going to sell that emerald pendan
"I don't think that you've seen the original form of this emerald pendant, either," Sebastian said, smiling coldly at Cliff. Cliff looked disdainfully at him. He felt that Sebastian was just unhappy about being tricked and was trying to provoke him. "Stop putting on that mysterious act. Why wouldn't I know about something that belongs to me?" Cliff demanded with a scoff. "You might really not know," Sebastian replied. He closed his palm slightly and exerted a slight force. The layer of stone on top of the emerald pendant peeled off. While everyone looked on, dumbstruck, Sebastian opened his palm once more. The crowd gasped.There were two clouds of energy on the emerald pendant, chasing each other like a pair of fish. One was black, while the other was red. The emerald pendant had been square-shaped originally, but it had now become a round emerald buckle. In the middle of it, a pale yellow energy was rising slowly. Everyone cried out in shock. It was clearly a rare trea
Some people just didn't know what was good for them. Even if Cliff had wanted to laugh, he should have waited for Sebastian to leave before doing so. How could he call a buyer a fool while they were still there?"It may be a little crude, my young friend, but it doesn't change the fact that you were hoodwinked!" Cliff said, guffawing gleefully.Since Sebastian had already paid, he could no longer take it back. After all, it was a rule never to accept returns or refunds. When Cliff thought of how he had charged Sebastian more than ten thousand for something that had only cost him about 300 to 400 dollars, he became even more smug. "You'll just have to bear with it, my young friend. Not regretting your purchase is the rule of the antique industry. Even if you've now found out that you were deceived, you can't get your money back!""That's right. The work on the emerald pendant that you're holding is so shoddy that it was clearly just done last week. It's a new item!" "Watch out
