Chapter 436

Author: Wendell Mayhew
Whitney's tone was mocking as she asked, "The best man you've ever met?"

She scoffed. "Ms. Griffin, I really don't understand how someone as useless as him is the best man you've ever met. I've been married to him for three years and know exactly what kind of man he is.

"We're both women, so let me warn you. He's not worth it."

Rosalie flashed Whitney a light smile. "Whether or not he's worth it is up to me to decide. You'll never know how good he is because, to you, he'll always be useless.

"However, it's precisely because of your bias against him that leads to so many misunderstandings between you two."

Whitney frowned, her expression souring. What an unpleasant interaction.

After a while, she sighed. "Regardless, nothing's going to change now. My impression of him won't change unless he really does something to change it."

"You'll understand in the future just how foolish your decision was, Ms. Sutton," Rosalie said with a smile, but the glare that she shot Whitney was fille

    Sebastian frowned. "That's not what I meant," he explained with an exasperated sigh.When did their relationship deteriorate so much?Whitney's expression was frosty as she snapped, "Then what do you mean? All I want is a letter of understanding from you so Shannon can be free. Is that too much to ask?"Or are you just preventing Shannon from attending my wedding as revenge to humiliate me?"Sebastian remained silent.Whitney didn't mind his silence and continued, "I'm getting married to Fergus in two days, and everyone who's anyone in Steinberg will be present! Why can't you just let me get married in peace?""Why… Why do you have to make things so difficult?" Whitney asked finally with a shaky voice as she knelt on the floor."Why is everyone forcing me to do things I don't want to do? Even you are forcing me!" she cried.Sebastian sighed as he stood silently to the side. He used to be able to comfort her whenever she cried, but he couldn't do that now. They were already divo

    "I know more than you think, and it's precisely because I know so much that I chose to maintain a low profile. "I'm not interested in the petty squabbles that come with being at the top. And I know full well the second I allow myself to get entangled in that mess, I'll never know a day of peace," Sebastian saidWhitney smiled as she eyed him with disappointment and thinly veiled disdain. "How could you say something like that now? Do you have no shame?" she demanded."Such words would've probably worked on me in the past and Ms. Griffin now, but it won't work on me now," she sneered.Sebastian simply shook his head, unwilling to explain himself to her. Perhaps it was for the best that she didn't believe him."I'm warning you, if you don't actually like Rosalie and you're only using her for your personal gain, let her know! Don't lie to her like that! She's innocent and naive, and I don't want to see her hurt by a jerk like you," Whitney hissed as she glared at him.Sebastian tur

    The Carlton family was shaken to its core as the general had returned. A monumental celebration was in order!Kevin hurried inside from the backyard. Upon entering the living room, he was met with the sight of a tall, imposing middle-aged man standing in the hall. His commanding presence radiated authority and fierceness as he stood there, hands behind his back."Lucas! You're finally back…" Tears streamed down Kevin's face.Lucas Carlton was Kevin's eldest son and the only general in the Carlton family. He held a prestigious position in the western military district, commanding thirty thousand soldiers. If all went as planned, he would earn another star in the latter half of the year. By then, the Carlton family would be the undisputed leading family of Sunway!Lucas turned and quickly helped Kevin to a grand armchair. With a flourish of his cloak, he kneeled on one knee and said, "Father, I have returned.""Good, get up," Kevin replied, visibly moved.Lucas quickly rose and

    Lorraine burst into the room and flung herself into Lucas' arms, her voice filled with distress. "Lucas, you must avenge me this time. Catch that scoundrel, and let me torment him thoroughly!"Lucas looked at Lorraine, nodding firmly as he said, "Alright! I promise you, I'll capture that brat and let you have your revenge."Lorraine was pleased with his words. "How are your injuries?" Lucas asked. "They're mostly healed, thanks to Richard from the Hundred Heaven Sect. He gave me a healing pill that sped up my recovery," Lorraine replied.Lucas nodded just as Richard entered the room, exuding an air of wisdom and serenity. He bowed to Lucas. "Greetings, General Carlton."Lucas returned the gesture. "No need for such formality, Mr. Jett. You're a great benefactor to our family. Without you, Lorraine's recovery wouldn't have been so swift."Richard chuckled and said, "General Carlton, you jest. With the relationship between the Hundred Heaven Sect and your family, it was but a sm

    Before anyone inside Frostwave Corporation could grasp the situation, Lucas arrived swiftly outside the company building. Two or three dozen elite soldiers accompanied him. The arrival of the military jeeps caused an immediate stir amongst the company's employees. Why would military vehicles be parked outside the building?Without waiting for the staff's reaction, Lucas swung open the car door. With a flick of his cloak, he commanded, "Seal off Frostwave Corporation, now!""Yes, sir!"The two or three dozen soldiers charged into Frostwave Corporation, swiftly sealing off the building. Every entrance and exit was manned by fully armed soldiers with live ammunition, and no one was allowed in or out.In less than a minute, Frostwave Corporation's executives and shareholders were all detained by several soldiers in the meeting room. At that moment, Lucas stood with his back turned to the executives kneeling on the floor. His gaze was cold and indifferent as he looked through th

    Mabel was so afraid that she stuttered. "Where's Whitney Sutton?" Lucas asked coldly.Mabel was terrified, and her face paled as she replied, "I-I don't know…""Hmm?" Lucas' gaze sharpened. Mabel quickly amended her response, "I-I know, I know! Ms. Sutton should have gone to see Sebastian to discuss the matter with her cousin. Looking at the time, she should be returning to the company soon…"Before she could finish, a figure with a graceful silhouette entered through the door—it was Whitney.When she was downstairs, she noticed the soldiers standing at the entrance. After identifying herself as the CEO of the company, Whitney was allowed inside."I'm Whitney," she declared as she stepped into the room. Whitney cast a glance at the executives kneeling on the floor before turning her gaze to Lucas. She forced herself to appear composed and asked, "I wonder what brings you to our company so unexpectedly? Is there something important you wish to discuss?"Whitney tried to ma

    At Lucas' command, two soldiers quickly stepped forward and escorted Whitney out of the conference room. They took her to a jeep and drove away from Frostwave Corporation. The company's top executives and shareholders stood at the door, visibly shaken. It wasn't until the dozen or so military jeeps had been gone for a while that they dared to wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads and speak. "It's over. It's all over for Ms. Sutton now…" "We've offended the Sunway Carlton family. What's going to happen to the company?" "Quick! Call an emergency meeting!"The group of executives and shareholders hurried back to the conference room for an emergency meeting. Realizing the gravity of the situation, Mabel quickly dialed Sebastian's number.Sebastian was in the convenience store, handling some emerald stones. He was going to refine them into safety stones. Suddenly, his phone rang. Reluctantly, he answered after the persistent ringing. As soon as he did, Mabel's furious

    "Enough, I'm not here to chat. I need you to do something for me," Sebastian said coldly.Draco, clearly annoyed, retorted. "Hey, Sebastian, watch your tone. Call me Commander Kolt! And if you're calling to ask for a favor, shouldn't you start with some pleasantries? Is this how you ask for help?"At that moment, inside the Department of Defense building, in a spacious and brightly lit office, a young man in his mid-twenties sat relaxed in a chair with his legs crossed. He was dressed in a dark green military uniform with a dragon head emblem proudly displayed on his shoulder. His sharp eyes added to his imposing demeanor.Beside him stood two lieutenants, each with three gold stars on their shoulders, standing silently. However, their gazes toward Draco were filled with admiration and envy.After all, the man casually lounging in the chair was one of the newly appointed top five commanders of the Dramon Department of Defense, known as Commander Draco!At just 26 years old, he c

    Sebastian shook his head slightly and said, "Thank you for your kind thoughts, Madam Dragon. Even if the entire martial arts community treats me as an enemy because of this, I'll accept it."How could Sebastian be an elder in the Warrior League when he was the successor of the Sacred Medicine Society?Everyone looked at Sebastian in slight surprise. He would be willing to make an enemy of the entire martial arts community?Belinda was also surprised. She hadn't expected Sebastian to be so firm."Mr. Ballard, are you afraid that your mentor will be against it?" she asked, frowning.No one would refuse the conditions that she had just made. Besides, joining the Warrior League in the current circumstances would be great for Sebastian.With the Warrior League as his ally, the Sapientia wouldn't dare to do anything to him. She hadn't expected Sebastian to refuse outright."Mr. Ballard, do you have a mentor?" Elara asked, puzzled. Hadn't Sebastian always said that he didn't have one?

    When Belinda and Elara heard Sebastian's voice, they walked out of the back room."It's been a while, Mr. Ballard," Belinda said, smiling.Upon seeing her expression had changed from how it had been when she greeted him, Melvin was even more astounded by Sebastian's identity.Belinda always smiled when she met Sebastian, but it was a rare event for any other person to see her smile."It's been a while, Madam Dragon," Sebastian said with a bow. "Please sit down, Mr. Ballard." Elara hurried toward him and pulled him down beside the main seat. Melvin and Phineas returned to their seats, looking rather awkward."Mr. Ballard, I hear from Mr. Tuxley that Ezekiel is plotting something against you. That's why I sent Blake to bring you here. I'd like to hear your opinion," Belinda said, smiling.Everyone noticed that Belinda had spoken respectfully twice. They all turned to look at Sebastian."Madam Dragon, I wasn't concerned about Ezekiel at first, but now so many sects from the mar

    Blake chuckled as he walked in."Yes! I just jump up and slap people in the face—" When Zane turned and saw that it was Blake, he abruptly stopped speaking.He smiled awkwardly. Boasting in front of Blake was just asking for trouble."Zane, that move where you jump up and slap people was quite interesting to watch," Blake said, grinning.Zane suddenly had a coughing fit. He didn't know if Blake was complimenting him or not."Is Mr. Ballard around? I've come on behalf of Madam Dragon. She would like him to pay a visit," Blake said to Zane. "Yes, yes! He's inside. He's with Ms. Griffin, and they're chatting—" Zane suddenly spotted Sebastian leaning in the doorway, a smile playing about his lips as he stared at him."Uh… he's not chatting." He hastily changed tack and congratulated himself for being quick-witted."Come in, Blake." Sebastian rolled his eyes at Zane. He knew exactly what Zane was going to say whenever he opened his mouth. He was sure that Zane had nothing innocent

    Blake bowed slightly to Belinda before turning and leaving the hall."Please sit for a moment, gentlemen. We'll discuss this matter once Mr. Ballard arrives." Belinda left Melvin and Phineas there on their own after she had finished. She didn't even give them a chance to reply before entering the back room with Elara.Melvin and Phineas sat awkwardly in their seats. It didn't seem right to either leave or stay."Relax, gentlemen. Madam Dragon is discussing some matters with a few elders. Have some tea and wait for Mr. Ballard," a maid said as she carried over a tray of tea. She served both Melvin and Phineas with a cup of fragrant tea.Melvin was pleasantly surprised. He took the teacup from the maid with both hands. Although she was a mere maid, the important thing was who she worked for. Belinda had a close relationship with the head director of Dramon's Martial Arts Court. It could even be said that the Martial Arts Court wouldn't exist without her.Even the national head dir

    "Yes. That's right," Melvin answered quickly.Blake nodded slightly and strode to the entrance. He said to Phineas, "Mr. Tuxley, Madam Dragon would like to see you."Phineas immediately puffed up his chest and straightened his clothes. When he finally felt presentable, he followed Blake to the hall.Meeting someone as important as Belinda was a matter of honor for Phineas. Therefore, he prostrated himself as soon as he entered and said to Belinda, "My name is Phineas Tuxley and I'm the head director of the Steinberg Martial Arts Court. Greetings, Madam Dragon."Belinda was startled to see him prostrate as soon as he entered. She suppressed a smile and shook her head slightly. "Mr. Tuxley, a bow like that is an outdated rule from hundreds of years ago. It is no longer appropriate in today's times. Please sit down," she said, pointing at the seat beside her."Thank you, Madam Dragon." Phineas stood up and glanced at the chairs. Where was he supposed to sit? Melvin had already ta

    Melvin bowed his head and followed Blake into Ventus Estate. On the way there, he kept stealing glances at the black-clad men.The more he looked at them, the more shocked Melvin became. Where had the Warrior League gotten so many experts at the third level of the Celestial realm and above?In any other sect, they would be a deacon at the very least, but they were only fit to be guards for the Warrior League.He didn't know that these men hadn't previously been at such a high level. It was all thanks to Sebastian that they had been able to improve so swiftly.That was why everyone in the Warrior League respected Sebastian so much. Sebastian and the Warrior League relied on each other and helped each other. There was no imbalance in their relationship."Please come in, Mr. Cappell." Blake stood in the doorway to the hall and indicated for Melvin to enter.Despite Blake's politeness, Melvin knew that he had no right to walk in front.The Lucoxes weren't just the family who contr

    Technically, this was gross negligence on Phineas' part. However, he had very little authority that he did not have the courage to ask for details.There were probably only very few people who knew Sebastian's real identity. It wasn't as if Phineas could go and ask Belinda. Would he dare to ask the elders of the Warrior League? Of course not!"Let's go to Ventus Estate," Melvin said as he stood up.He had to find out what kind of relationship Sebastian had with the Warrior League. In particular, he had to know whether Sebastian had latched onto the Warrior League or if it had been the other way around.He couldn't let himself make the wrong decision.Phineas hurried out of the lounge after Melvin.…Meanwhile, Belinda and Blake were at Ventus Estate, discussing the martial arts battle that had taken place that day."Madam Dragon, these people were much too ignorant. How could they have expected to do well when fighting against Mr. Ballard?" Blake smiled.Belinda looked at the

    When the host saw that no one else dared to step into the arena, he immediately announced, "The match will end here for today. Each side will rest for three days each, and after three days, the matches will resume!"The three days' rest in between had been Phineas' idea.He still didn't feel assured. After all, Dramon only had Sebastian and the others, and today's battle was only the beginning. The really tough battle was yet to come.He had to fight for time so that the Martial Arts Court could send some powerful candidates.When the battle ended, Phineas finally snuck over to Sebastian and said, "Mr. Ballard, please wait."Phineas' passionate speech earlier had genuinely moved Sebastian, so his attitude had softened greatly."Mr. Tuxley, go ahead and say whatever you have to say." Phineas looked around. Upon seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he whispered in Sebastian's ear, "Mr. Ballard, you must be wary of Ezekiel. He is coveting the treasure in your possession.

    Farrell was about to get up when he collided with the sole of Zane's foot as Zane aimed a kick at him. Although Zane wasn't very powerful and wasn't even a beginner in martial arts, the kick encompassed the inertia that had built up over a long distance as well as the fact that Farrell had just rolled over. With his full weight behind it, the kick carried great force.A loud sound echoed through the arena as Zane's kick landed squarely on Farrell's face. The bridge of his nose actually collapsed."Aargh!" Farrell clutched his face, screaming in pain.Before he could recover, Zane gave him a spinning kick which hit him in the back of the head. The force knocked Farrell out cold. The moment he hit the floor, another bolt of intense energy struck him in the chest.The audience and the international experts in the stands only saw Zane kick Farrell, after which the latter spat out a mouthful of blood. Farrell didn't even struggle before dying in the arena.Thunderous applause bro
