"Sebastian, be careful!" Standing at the entrance, Tommy and several neighbors shouted in concern.Whitney stood rooted to the ground. She stared intently at Sebastian as he rushed inside.For a moment, she seemed to see the Sebastian she knew from three years ago, who was willing to do anything for her.Mabel exited the car, too. She sneered disdainfully. "It's just a run-down shop. Is it really necessary?"Whitney raised an eyebrow and questioned her coldly, "Did you and Fergus do this? You went too far!""Ms. Sutton, do you feel sorry for him? Don't forget. Both of you are already divorced! He almost got you and Frostwave Corporation into trouble today!"Burning down his little shop is too light of a punishment. Just wait. He'll come begging for our help without the shop."Mabel smirked triumphantly.Whitney scoffed and was about to run into the shop.Mabel hurriedly grabbed her. She was puzzled. "Ms. Sutton, what are you doing?""I'll go take a look," Whitney replied.Ma
"Whitney is a strong woman. I've only seen her three times. Every time I saw her from a distance, I felt a chilling aura.""Besides, don't forget her current status. She's Steinberg's most successful businesswoman with a net worth of ten billion! "Forgive me for being blunt, but you might be a burden in her eyes. It's a good choice to divorce her. You can stay with me in the future. I'll take care of you."With that, Tommy poured some alcohol for Sebastian.Sebastian chuckled and raised his glass. "Tommy, do you think power and status are that important?"Tommy laughed and replied, "I don't know. Only the big shots care about those things. I'm content with my life."Sebastian was momentarily stunned but laughed along."By the way, Sebastian, what are your plans for the future? Will you renovate the shop, or do you have other plans?" Tommy asked.Sebastian shook his head and said, "I don't know for now. I want to take a break."Tommy smiled and suggested, "Sebastian, I don't w
Mabel then handed a tablet to Whitney.Whitney's expression changed as she quickly took the tablet and glanced at it. Frowning, she asked, "Why are there so many negative comments about us?""It's all because of that jerk, Sebastian! He posted the acupuncture technique for treating certain illnesses in conjunction with the Goldcrow Pill on a forum. "Then, people started feeling skeptical about our company's promotion of the pill. The post was reposted on various platforms in less than half an hour.""Besides, a video of Sebastian treating Mr. Whitaker Senior at the estate was released.""Now, netizens are criticizing the Goldcrow Pill under the video. They say that our company produces harmful medicine!"Mabel explained angrily. Her words were filled with resentment towards Sebastian.Whitney quickly browsed through the comments and said, "Ask the Public Relations Department to deal with this immediately.""I've already informed them to do so," Mabel replied.Whitney's frown
"Really? Thank you very much, Mr. Cobb. Also, congratulations in advance on winning Ms. Sutton's heart."Being a secretary wasn't her ultimate goal.She wanted to become the queen of Steinburg's business world!Who wouldn't want to climb to the top?After hanging up the phone, Mabel glanced meaningfully at Whitney's office and exited the restroom.Meanwhile, Fergus sat on the sofa, surrounded by attractive girls. He held a cigar in one hand and a glass of wine in the other.Across from him sat a man with a fierce and dark complexion.He exuded a terrifying, murderous aura.There were stacks of banknotes on the table, totaling around two million dollars.Puffing on his cigar, Fergus wore a cold and sinister smile. "Zac, you did a good job. But what I wanted you to do was break his hands. Burning down his shop is not enough."Zac grinned, revealing an evil and sly smile. His voice was hoarse and low. "Mr. Cobb, don't you trust my ability? I will get things settled by tonigh
The two guys shook their heads vigorously when they heard that. They exclaimed, "No, no. We're not loyal.""That's great." Sebastian smiled and sat back down. He asked them, "So, who sent you?""Z-Zac ... It was Zac!"Anxious, one of them stuttered. He was afraid Sebastian would crush his knees if he didn't respond in time."Yes, yes. Zac sent us."Not to be outdone, the other guy eagerly added, "He offered to pay us 20 thousand dollars to chop off both your hands.""He wants to buy my hands for 20 thousand dollars?"Sebastian frowned and said coldly, "I don't recall offending this Zac you speak of."The two men shook their heads and blurted, "We don't know. We're simply doing our jobs. You have to ask Zac for the details.""Where is he?"A chilling gaze flashed across Sebastian's eyes as he asked."We have no idea. We never knew Zac's whereabouts. He contacts us through the phone," one of them replied.Sebastian nodded and extended his hand. "Give me your phone."The man
"Bastard, you arrived quite fast. Where are my men?"Zac questioned with a stern face.Sebastian approached him with his hands in his pockets. He glanced around the room, assessing the positions of Zac's underlings and the potential weapons available to them. It was only then that he sat before Zac. He crossed his legs and smiled faintly. "I tied them up."Zac slammed his palm on the table angrily, shouting, "Bastard! How dare you touch my men? Even if you're God, you won't walk out of here tonight!"As Zac finished his sentence, his fierce men surrounded Sebastian. They retrieved gleaming knives from their waists.Unfazed, Sebastian poured himself a drink, took a sip, and asked, "Zac, right? I don't recall us having any grievances. If I'm not mistaken, there's someone behind you.""I'll give you a chance. Tell me who it is. I can pretend nothing happened and leave.""Hahaha!"Hearing that, Zac laughed out loud. He stared at Sebastian disdainfully. "Bastard, did I hear you
Sebastian smirked coldly. He calmly sat in the spot Zac previously occupied and uttered, "Can you tell me now?"Zac gulped nervously and replied, "Mr. Ballard, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I can't. In our line of work, there are rules."If I spill the beans, I won't be able to survive in Steinberg anymore. Mr. Ballard, please spare me. I'll do anything to repay your kindness."Sebastian frowned and said in dissatisfaction, "Remember, from now on, my rules are the rules."If you don't reveal the truth, I can kill you now.""You have three minutes to think it over."Zac gasped and trembled. He could sense the overwhelming killing intent Sebastian emanated.He wondered if Sebastian really dared to kill him.His head was lowered, and Zac was sweating profusely.Time passed second by second.As Zac was about to give in to Sebastian's oppressive aura, the door of the private room swung open.Then, a stern voice rang out in the room."Young man, forgive while you ca
Upon hearing this, Sebastian shook his head and said coldly, "I'm not releasing him."Hector's face fell. He reprimanded, "Seems like you want to do it the hard way.""So what?" Sebastian smiled faintly, showing no fear whatsoever.Zac was terrified by Sebastian's bold response!Sebastian was too arrogant!He didn't even bother to show Hector any respect.Hector could secretly kill someone in Steinberg with just a few words.How could Sebastian be so bold?At the same time, Zac sneered inwardly.Since Sebastian had offended Hector, he wouldn't be able to leave this place alive.Hector's face turned grim. He shouted angrily, "Young man! You shouldn't be too arrogant! Do you think that knowing some martial arts makes you superior?"You must know that there is always someone better than you. Today, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your master!"With that, Hector took action first. His figure flashed, and he teleported before Sebastian like a ghost!Immediately afterward,
At Keanu's age, he no longer placed any importance on pride. What mattered most was being able to continue living. Even Phineas was shocked when Keanu knelt. After all, he was the Keanu Norris!With a single thought, the countless shadows behind Sebastian disappeared at once, while he appeared in front of Keanu."Didn't you just say that you would destroy my whole family?" Sebastian asked coldly."I… I would never dare to do so!"Keanu broke out in a cold sweat.Sebastian was already so powerful despite being so young. It had made Keanu think of a name that everyone in the Nine Sects was terrified of—the Sacred Medicine Society! The only reasonable explanation was that Sebastian was from the Sacred Medicine Society! At the very least, he was probably an apprentice of someone mysterious in that sect.Sebastian slapped Keanu and asked icily, "Do the Sapientia have privileges?"Keanu shook his head hastily, and blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth. Sebastian's slap had
Keanu was furious. This was the first time someone hadn't trembled after hearing his name, especially when it was a young man in his 20s!"Since you know my name, aren't you going to admit to your crimes and accept your punishment?"Phineas hastily approached him and said, "Mr. Norris, this—"Before he could finish, Keanu silenced him with a slap, sending him flying eight feet away.Phineas saw stars, and he struggled for a while on the ground, unable to get up.Sebastian glanced at Phineas and said coldly, "Norris, apologize to him now and it won't be too late. Otherwise, your luck ends here!"Keanu glanced at him and said, "You brat! This day next year is going to be your death anniversary. If you have any last words, say them now!"Keanu slowly pulled out his sword and pointed it at Sebastian."Last words?" Sebastian scoffed and strode forward. In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Keanu.He had moved so fast that it surpassed Keanu's imagination. How could a you
Phineas had wanted to arrive first so he could stop Sebastian from killing Ezekiel."So what if he's Ezekiel's mentor? Does that mean that the Sapientia can do as they please without getting punished?" Sebastian asked icily.Phineas broke into a cold sweat and said, "Mr. Ballard, it's not wise to offend Mr. Norris. He's in the top 100 of the Nine Sects. You might not understand the difference here, but Ezekiel isn't even in the top 5,000."Sebastian scoffed. "Well, I'd like to meet Mr. Norris, then. I want to see just how impressive he is."He wasn't the only one who was highly skilled. He also had Lyanna and Nina with him. Even if a deity had come down to the earth, Sebastian would have wanted to meet them, let alone Keanu.As they spoke, a black car stopped at the entrance to the estate. An old man with a white beard who was dressed in red Dainist robes got out of the car haughtily. As he walked into the estate, he shouted, "Ezekiel, come out here on your knees to greet me!"
Sebastian smiled slightly and asked, "You understand now, don't you? Purity isn't a sword that anyone can use. If you want to use it, you must first be strong enough."As he spoke, Sebastian spread his fingers out, and Purity flew back into his hand as if it were alive.The moment it landed in Sebastian's palm, lightning crackled along its blade, and it emitted a pale blue glow again. That was the moment when Ezekiel realized that the problem wasn't with Purity but with its wielder.Ezekiel couldn't help staring at Sebastian in shock. Wouldn't that mean that Sebastian's powers were above those of the Sapientia's leader?"If you understand, you can also go and die now."Sebastian smiled thinly and waved his hand. A bolt of lightning shot forth. With a dull thud, over a dozen heads fell to the ground at the same time. Percival and his men collapsed alongside them.After that, Lyanna and Nina worked together. Apart from a few local Warriors from Steinberg, all the Sapientia's ap
At that moment, all Percival could think about was ensuring his survival.Sebastian glanced coldly at him and smiled. "Mr. Chard, that's not what you said before."He had no intention of letting Percival and the others leave alive.Maximus was just a clown at most. Even if he was permitted to leave, he couldn't endanger Sebastian, Whitney, or Rosalie. Percival and the others were different. They were used to throwing their weight around. Although they had submitted to Sebastian today because of the circumstances, they were sure to hold a grudge against him for it.In the future, the lives of those around Sebastian would be threatened the moment he let down his guard."Mr. Ballard, I really was talking nonsense. You're our league leader. I'll be sure to keep our agreement from now on," Percival said, groveling so hard to Sebastian that he grazed his forehead. Blood trickled down his cheeks."Mr. Ballard, we made a mistake too! We… we all came because we received the Martial Go
"The person who's going to kill you!" Lyanna answered, smiling calmly at Ezekiel.The elite martial arts families and the members of the sects from Steinberg had all retreated far away in fear. Unfortunately, the space in the yard was limited, and they were soon backed into a corner with nowhere else to go.While they cowered in fear, Nina turned into her true form. A huge snake reared up more than 40 feet in the air and began voraciously devouring the corpses on the ground, its red tongue flicking in and out. The estate had become a living hell.Percival wet his pants in fear. What was going on? This wasn't how things were supposed to go at all!Shouldn't they have brought the women with Sebastian over here and forced Sebastian to hand Purity over before slashing him to death? After that, they would have divided Sebastian's women and assets among them!Why were they the ones being slaughtered and eaten instead?"M-Mr. Harton… what should we do?" Percival stuttered.He was tru
"H-How dare you?" Ezekiel had turned pale with anger.How could Sebastian have flayed and removed every bone of a Sapientia member? Was there still justice in the world? Was there any respect for the elders?"Hmph! You want to harm the women around me, yet you won't permit me to enact a small punishment on you and your men?" Sebastian asked, laughing scornfully."Sebastian, you bastard. You're defying your elders, and you have no respect for them! The martial arts community is a place where seniority is important!" Ezekiel yelled.Just as he finished speaking, a bolt of white light came to the estate at an extremely high speed. With the white light came a lump of bloody, tattered flesh.Nina had tossed Gaston into the yard."My lord, Lyanna's pulled out all his bones. Please inspect him," Nina said, smiling.That was when everyone noticed the bloody lump on the ground. They only recognized Gaston when they looked closely!There was a strip of red cloth stuck on his body, and he
Sebastian shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Harton, even if you make me hand it over, you should have a reason to do so."Everyone looked viciously at him.How could he still be so arrogant? He had been relying on Purity to put on a tough act, and he was now surrounded by more than 1,000 people. Could he really break through just by using the sword? "Aiden's tragic death is the reason! You just stood by instead of saving him, and that's the reason too," Ezekiel said coldly. "Yes!" Percival chimed in. "You're the league leader. How could you bear watching him die?" "That's right! What you did is an act of betrayal in the martial arts community!" the other sect leaders chorused. "League leader? Do you really think that I don't know?" Sebastian's gaze swept over Percival and the others. "You formed this so-called league just because you covet Purity. Aiden's death in the arena was his own doing. He was greedy, and he got what he deserved!" As soon as Sebastian's words fel
Life was tough out in the world. People couldn't do as they pleased just because they were skilled.Wits were the only factor in survival. However, how sharp could a young man in his 20s be?"Mr. Harton, I don't quite understand what you mean. Didn't we already deal with this issue earlier?" Sebastian asked, looking uninterestedly at Ezekiel."Sebastian!" Percival suddenly yelled. "What kind of place do you think this is? Do you think you're still in the martial arts arena?"Percival no longer had enough patience to keep up his act. He would have harmed Sebastian on the way back if he hadn't been wary of Purity, knowing that he might not be a match for it.Now that Sebastian was alone and was surrounded by more than 1,000 people on the estate, how could he still remain so arrogant?"Oh? What kind of place is this? Hell?" Sebastian asked, his gaze sweeping over the crowd around him. A white-haired old man squeezed out of the crowd and pointed at him. "Sebastian, you've been lawl
