Sebastian nodded and looked thoughtfully in the direction of the security guards.He realized that the guards weren't in any hurry to leave. Instead, they were standing in the dark, as if they were discussing something.Sebastian did not think much of it. He and Rosalie followed Zach into the Tiger Pavilion.Zach was busy, so he did not stay with Sebastian and Rosalie.They found a seat and sat down.Coincidentally, Mateo and the woman with sunglasses appeared in front of Sebastian again."How did you two get in?" Mateo asked, frowning in displeasure."Is that any of your business?" Sebastian said coldly. He disliked rich playboys like Mateo."Damn it!" Mateo swore. He did not want to continue arguing with Sebastian, so he sat down in front. However, he turned back to Sebastian from time to time to make threatening gestures.Sebastian only found him childish. He glanced around and realized that there were several warriors inside the Tiger Pavilion. Some of them were quite skil
Sebastian frowned before he raised his sign. "12 million dollars!" he called out.Mateo's expression soured, and he countered, "15 million dollars!"After that, he shot Sebastian a scathing glare."Go on then, raise the price! I would love to see how much you are willing to spend on this!" Mateo mocked."20 million dollars," Sebastian called out as he raised his sign again.Everyone present sucked in a breath at that. It was only a five million dollar chalcedony and yet the bidding price was 20 million dollars.What were they thinking?Mateo grimaced in annoyance.Was Sebastian insane? How could he just increase the bidding price by five million dollars…"Fuck! You're just determined to go against me, aren't you?" Mateo seethed.Sebastian flashed him a smile. "I wonder who's really going against whom. Mr. Cortez, if you're unhappy, you can always outbid me.""Fucker!" Mateo growled. "30 million dollars!" he roared as he raised his sign."40 million dollars," Sebastian count
The crowd shook their heads in disappointment. The star of the auction tonight really was too ordinary!However, Sebastian, who had been sitting silently stared excitedly at the wild truffle on the stage.Besides Sebastian, the truffle also caught the interest of a woman in sunglasses sitting next to Mateo. This woman, Penelope Lucox, had been silent throughout the entire auction. But now, she excitedly took off her sunglasses to stare at the truffle, showing off her good looks."Mateo. I don't care how much it costs, you have to buy this wild truffle!" she instructed coldly.Mateo frowned as he whispered, "Are you sure, Ms. Lucox? This is just a regular wild truffle. If you really want a truffle so badly I can give you a few from my house."Penelope glared at Mateo before she grumbled, "What do you know? That truffle has to be at least 500 years old and has to be of the highest grade as well!""What? A top grade truffle? 500 years old?" Mateo exclaimed in disbelief with wide e
Everyone couldn't believe what they had just heard.That was the Nichton Lucox family! One of the four families of ancient martial arts!And yet, this idiot was saying such rude things to Penelope Lucox? He really had a death wish!Unsurprisingly, Penelope's expression soured at Sebastian's words, and her gaze was frosty."My friend, I don't think you fully understand what it means when I say I'm from the Nichton Lucox family. Why don't you ask around and see what happens if you offend someone from my family?" she said unhappily with a frown.She had never met anyone brave—or stupid—enough to openly defy her family.Sebastian smiled slightly. "Since it's an auction, the highest bidder naturally gets to purchase the item. Are you really going to use your family name to oppress others at an auction?" he challenged.Penelope's expression turned frosty at that, and Mateo barked, "I'm warning you, this is Riverville! If you keep messing with the wrong people, you may even end up dead
"Is that so? I'll be waiting then," Sebastian scoffed."So you really want to do this the hard way, don't you?" Mateo huffed. "I really hope you can leave Riverville alive!" Sebastian ignored him and pulled Rosalie backstage to pay for the truffle.Mateo's expression was thunderous as he watched Rosalie and Sebastian leave."Motherfucker!" he gritted out. "I'm going to kill him!""I don't care how, but you are going to get me that truffle tonight," Penelope threatened Mateo coldly before putting her sunglasses back on.After that, she left Tiger Pavilion without another word.Mateo frowned and thought about what to do before he pulled out his phone."Call the Blacksmith! For what? I want him to kill someone!" he barked into the phone and hung up before he rushed after Penelope.Meanwhile, Sebastian and Rosalie had already paid and were waiting to collect the truffle.The hostess then walked over and handed Sebastian the truffle with a smile."Mr. Ballard, Boss has said that
Sebastian simply laughed coldly in response. "What if I don't hand it over?" he asked."Then die!" the guard roared and swung the dagger right at Sebastian's chest.Sebastian's expression darkened, and he raised his hand to grab the dagger handle.While the guard was still recovering from the shock of getting countered, Sebastian applied some force and broke the dagger into pieces.The guard paled, and he looked like he had just seen a ghost. However, before he could do anything else, Sebastian flung the broken dagger handle at the guard's chest, piercing it!The guard stared wide-eyed at Sebastian as he clutched his chest and fell lifelessly to the ground.A pool of blood soon formed around his lifeless body, and the remaining guards whipped out their daggers and charged at Sebastian."Amateurs," Sebastian scoffed and attacked them.The four guards were then thrown backward unceremoniously by a force and spat out mouthfuls of fresh blood as they howled in pain.Mateo glared
"Don't worry, I've promised Mr. Mateo that I would leave you alive. So you won't die so easily," the old man said casually.Right now, his hand was only half an arm away from Sebastian's neck.Rosalie was terrified, and she exclaimed, "Sebastian! Dodge!"However, Sebastian did nothing of the sort. Instead, he noted coldly, "That's the Black Eagle Sect's Eagle Talon technique.""Oh? So you know what this is? You have a good eye," the old man said. "It's too bad that you offended Mr. Mateo!"The old man cackled again as he shot his hand at Sebastian with more force.Sebastian shook his head slightly as he sneered, "It's just an Eagle Talon. It will never be a Dragon Claw!"After that, Sebastian's fingers curved like claws, and he swung his hand right at the old man. Wisps of golden energy swirled around his fingers, and he grabbed the old man's hand. There was the distinct sound of a dragon's roar as he did so.The old man was shocked as he stared shakily at his hand. "Impossib
Sebastian flashed him a smile. "Is that so? Let's see who's the real victim tonight.""Crazy bastard!" the old man roared. "Die!"After that, he stomped a foot before appearing right in front of Sebastian and swinging a fist at him. His fist was as fast as the speed of light, and was headed straight for Sebastian's chest.At such a close distance, unless his opponent was a Grandmaster, it would be practically impossible to dodge his attack.In the Blacksmith's eyes, Sebastian was powerful, but there was no way he was a Grandmaster. After all, Sebastian was still so young! So, he was confident that this one blow would kill Sebastian. Seeing as how Sebastian had not made a move to dodge his blow, the Blacksmith sneered, "Did I scare you stupid, kid? Die!"Right after that, the Blacksmith's fist made contact with something. He thought that he had hit Sebastian, but when he realized what had really happened, he was stupefied.Somehow, Sebastian had casually caught the Blacksmith's
