"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
After Sebastian ended the call, he immediately drove toward the Sunway Carlton family estate.Meanwhile, chaos erupted at the Sutton family home. "What? Winnie was taken?" Crystal nearly fainted upon hearing the news.The day after tomorrow was her daughter's wedding to Fergus, a momentous occasion, and now this catastrophe had struck.Tears streaked Mabel's face as she cried, "You all need to think of something to save Ms. Sutton! It was General Lucas Carlton from the Carlton family who took her.""What? General Lucas Carlton from the Sunway Carlton family?" Edna exclaimed, her eyes widening in shock as she stood abruptly from her chair. Then, as the gravity of the situation sank in, she collapsed into the chair, a look of despair spreading across her face. "It's over. The Sutton family is finished… With that general from the Carlton family involved, do we even stand a chance?"Crystal's face turned pale with fear as she cursed, "It's all that damn Sebastian's fault! If he
Lorraine had been waiting for this day for so long!When she thought about how she was tortured because of Whitney, she wanted so badly to skin her and Sebastian alive!Whitney turned toward Lorraine, her eyes brimming with cold defiance. She spat out the blood in her mouth and looked at Lorraine, giving a cold laugh. "Ms. Carlton, do as you please; kill or mutilate me then."Lorraine was intensely irked by Whitney's fearless demeanor.With a sneer, she crossed her arms and circled Whitney twice. Then, bending down to meet Whitney's gaze, she sneered menacingly. "Whitney, do you think I'd let you off so easily by letting you die?"Touching Whitney's cheek, Lorraine smirked. "Oh, the wounds on your face have healed quite quickly. What medicine did you use?"Noticing that Whitney's facial wounds had almost completely healed, leaving no scars, and thinking of her grotesque scars, Lorraine felt a surge of bitterness."I won't tell you!" Whitney retorted stubbornly.Lorraine slapped
In the living room of the Carlton Manor, Lorraine walked out with an unhappy expression and asked, "Lucas, where is Sebastian?"Lucas took a sip of tea and said, "No worries. I have already put words out. If he still cares about his ex-wife, he'll apologize soon.""Really? That's great! I'll skin him alive then!" Lorraine said through gritted teeth, and her eyes were filled with hatred.If it wasn't for Sebastian, she wouldn't have suffered so much pain! Every time she recalled the things she had gone through, she would get so furious.As the lady of the Carlton family, she had always been loved and spoiled by her family. Nobody had ever treated her this way since she was young, and this remained for over 40 years!However, a stupid brat treated her so badly! Hence, she would avenge herself no matter what!"Where's that woman?" Lucas asked.Lorraine sat down and said, "I put her in the cabin with ten men having fun with her. I even asked them to record everything to release it t
Lucas let out a cold laugh before speaking, "Quite the audacity to show up alone at Carlton Manor. Saves me the trouble of hunting you down myself."Sebastian, uninterested in Lucas' words, cut straight to the point. "Where's Whitney?"Stepping forward with arms crossed, Lorraine grinned with a mix of triumph and malice. "Your ex-wife, right? Well, I've got ten men keeping her company. Bet she's having a blast."Sebastian's expression shifted dramatically at her words, his energy bursting forth with intensity."What did you just say?" Sebastian's voice boomed with anger.Lorraine shot back, "Can't wrap your head around it? Let me spell it out for you! I've got ten guys hanging out with your ex-wife, probably having a wild time. "And guess what? I've gone the extra mile and hired a top-notch director to film it all, turning it into a blockbuster shown all over Steinberg. Everyone's gonna see just how wild your ex-wife can get!" Her laughter echoed with madness."How dare you!" S
Sebastian gazed calmly at the fist charging toward him, his eyes gleaming with determination. With unwavering resolve, he met the incoming fist with his own!Seeing Sebastian throw a punch, Lucas became furious beyond measure!"You arrogant brat! Daring to exchange blows with me? You truly don't know your limits!" Lucas roared, increasing the force behind his punch. His fist, like a cannonball, broke the sound barrier as it thundered toward Sebastian's fist.A deafening explosion echoed through the entire Carlton Manor, sounding like thunder reverberating through the sky."Alright! Lucas, knock him out with one punch!" Lorraine cheered from behind, visibly excited. She could already envision Sebastian's defeat at the hands of her brother's mighty blow.However, the next moment, an astonishing scene unfolded!Lorraine and the Carlton family guards who had rushed over watched as Lucas was sent staggering backward by a single punch!He retreated for over a dozen steps, his foot s
S-Sebastian… I'm so hot. I can't wait any longer… Help me…" Whitney lost her rationality and began to beg. The ten burly men laughed even more lecherously."I told you, this drug is amazing. Who would've thought Ms. Sutton, with her pure and virtuous image, would be so full of womanly charm? Shall I go first?"Then, one of the burly men approached Whitney, tearing off her skirt and exposing her flushed skin. Although Whitney was still subconsciously resisting, she was completely powerless.Just as the burly man reached out to touch Whitney's chest, the door of the cabin was kicked open with a bang. Several burly men standing behind the door were kicked away by a powerful force, crashing onto the floor and against the wall. They vomited blood and died on the spot.Then, a tall, angry figure walked in through the door.At that moment, Sebastian was undoubtedly the Grim Reaper.Seeing the scene inside the room and Whitney's condition, Sebastian frowned and shouted coldly, "You
Lucas was stunned!Sebastian turned his head and saw dozens of military jeeps charging into the Carlton Manor, accompanied by a large force of nearly a thousand fully armed soldiers!What caught his attention the most was their attire. It was not the usual combat gear; rather, they were clad in dragons. Each suit was adorned with a golden dragon emblem on the chest and shoulders. They were the Draco Troops soldiers!At that moment, Lucas' face turned pale. Hispupils dilated as he stared at the nearly thousand Draco Troops soldiers!Why were they at Carlton Manor?This was the undefeated legion renowned for their unparalleled victories on the battlefield, the invincible force under Commander Draco Kolt! They were capable of crushing armies of 500 thousand from eight nations!But why were they suddenly at Carlton Manor? Shouldn't they be stationed at the border, guarding against potential threats?Before Lucas could react, what he saw next sent shivers down his spine, filling
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
Sebastian laughed at the reluctant expression on the stall owner's face. He weighed the emerald pendant in his hand and asked, "Mister, are you sure that this emerald pendant is worth 210 thousand?"With that, he tossed it onto the counter and turned to leave."Huh?"The stall owner immediately ran around to the front of the stall when he saw that Sebastian was about to leave. He grabbed him and said, "Don't be in such a rush to leave, my young friend. Let's negotiate. If you're sincere about buying it, I'll sell it to you at 150 thousand, and I'll be making a loss. Let this be the start of a friendship between us!"Sebastian smiled slightly and said, "Mister, even a layman can tell that this emerald pendant is a fake. I just like the patterns on it because it's quite trendy. That's why I asked about it on a whim."Describing the patterns on the antique as trendy only served to show how obvious it was that it was a fake.The stall owner turned beet red, then white. He cursed hi
However, the more famous something was, the more imitations there would be. Antiques were no exception. In Boren, streets filled with antique stores were abundant. From Klane City to the smallest town, they were omnipresent.There were stores and stalls of various kinds that had everything, but all of them had one thing in common. All the antiques and trinkets that they sold were a mixed bag of authentic and fake. Buyers had to rely on their own judgment. There was also an unspoken rule there. Once a deal was made, no returns were allowed. If a buyer had paid for an item before realizing that something was wrong or recognizing that it was a fake, they would have no choice but to accept it. There was a saying about how the golden age of antiques was during times of chaos. Although they were now in times of peace, many members of the upper class were still very interested in them. Both experts and laymen liked to have a few collector's items in their homes. There were plenty of we
"Watch him closely! If you lose him, I'll have your head!" Anton said before hanging up. A malicious grin spread across his face.As the son of the head director of Boren Martial Arts Court, many were eager to curry favor with him. If it came to dealing with Sebastian, there were plenty of people willing to do the dirty work for him. Acorn City was the second largest city in Boren after Klane City, and Anton knew just who to call. About two weeks ago, the Lynch family of Acorn City had sent gifts to him. However, as the Lynches were a third-rate elite martial arts family, Anton had dismissed them. That was why, despite searching frantically, he couldn't find Colton Lynch's name card."Damn it! Where did that asshole's name card get to?"It was the first time Anton had been so anxious about finding the name card of an heir from a third-rate family. After rummaging around for a while, Anton had a sudden flash of inspiration. It was in the trash can!He suddenly remembered that
Sebastian laughed wryly and shook his head at Nina's words. "Nina, you're staying behind so everyone thinks I'm still here. Rowan and Arran will stay here with you so that no one will become suspicious!"Nina frowned. "But I'll be worried about you being with Unus. It's still just a beast whose rational capabilities aren't fully developed yet. What if it—"Sebastian smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry. Hugo has subdued them completely already, so nothing unexpected will happen. Honestly, there isn't much in Boren that worries me. However, if the Yome Sect enters Steinberg while its defenses are down, we'll be put in a difficult position."Though reluctant, Nina finally agreed.That night, Sebastian quietly brought Unus out with him. As soon as he walked out of the hotel doors, two thugs hiding at the side of the road who had been watching them stealthily immediately reported his movements to Anton."Are you sure it was Sebastian?" Anton demanded sharply."Positive! He looks e
"Kneel!" Joaquin yelled at Anton the moment he entered the room.Anton immediately dropped to his knees with a loud thud in front of Sebastian."My lord, my son is worthless. Everything that happened before was his doing. He has been a disgrace to our family. Please have mercy on his crimes," Joaquin said. He looked up at Sebastian and was puzzled to see how terrible his complexion was.Nina had been injured the day before, so why was it now the other way around? She had a rosy complexion, while Sebastian looked as white as a sheet."Alright. The important thing is to learn from one's mistakes and change. Don't forget the oath that you made. If you break it, I won't have to punish you. The law of heaven will act accordingly!" Sebastian said coldly."Yes, of course! I would never dare to break the oath! But…" Joaquin looked at Sebastian with a troubled expression.Sebastian frowned slightly and asked, "But what?""I can see that you don't look very well, my lord. Should I prepa
After resting for the whole night, Nina's complexion had almost returned to normal. Even the wounds on her body had almost healed.In stark contrast, Sebastian looked worse than ever.It was the aftereffect of losing too much blood essence. If it wasn't for the fact that he had the legacy of the Sacred Medicine Society, he might have already been half-dead. Even so, Sebastian felt weaker than he had ever felt before. His legs felt like jelly, and he was unsteady on his feet."My lord…"Rowan blanched with fear when he saw Sebastian. Sebastian was as pale as a sheet. Even his lips had lost all color."My lord, how did you get into this state?" Rowan asked, clearly confused. Sebastian had seemed fine when they returned to Mount Klane the night before. Waving his hand slightly, Sebastian replied, "I'm fine. I'll get better after some rest. Why are you up so early?"Rowan grew even more worried after hearing how frail Sebastian sounded."My lord, did you get severely injured o
