"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,
Hiss!Zac's lips twitched as he saw Hector flipped to the ground by Sebastian's slap. He was dumbfounded.Stunned, he stared in fear at Sebastian, who was approaching him.Sebastian just sent the owner of Steinberg's Thunder Martial Arts Club flying with a single slap!Hector was completely defenseless!Who exactly was this young man?A chill ran down Zac's spine. He felt goosebumps creeping on him.In the next second, Sebastian's grim voice rang out. "Now, can you tell me?"Zac gulped and trembled. He knelt on the ground and repeatedly banged his head on the ground. He pleaded, "I beg you to spare my life. I'll tell you ..."It's Fergus. The CEO of Cobb Corporation made me do this. He gave me two million dollars to disable your hands."Zac was genuinely terrified.He had never felt such immense fear before."Fergus?" Sebastian furrowed his brows.So, Fergus was behind this.After getting the answer that he wanted, Sebastian turned around and left.Watching Sebastian's
"Pay you? Keep dreaming!" Kayden roared. "I'm telling you, even if I were to set fire to this entire building, no one would dare to make me pay a penny! Smashing this tiny hotel up is nothing!" He continued, "You came at just the right time. Today is the day I'm going to show you how I have some fun with your lady!"Kayden suddenly had an extremely evil thought. He would make the men from the law enforcement hall restrain Sebastian before he stripped Nina naked right in front of him. He was thrilled at the thought, and he was getting even more exhilarated. It wasn't the first time he had done such a thing, but he had never toyed with a woman as beautiful as Nina. The thought of having such a beautiful woman under him filled him with excitement. "Oh? Do you really think that you can do as you wish with such a small number of men?"Sebastian's gaze swept over the men from the law enforcement team. Over half of them had participated in wiping out the Lynches, and they were dee
Kayden grinned slyly as he spoke. The reason he hated Sebastian so much wasn't only because of how badly the latter had beaten him up. What was more important was why someone like Sebastian would have such a beautiful woman with him!Kayden was the heir of the Berkeleys. He was the most influential heir in the whole of Acorn City! When compared with Nina, Candy was practically a country bumpkin. Kayden couldn't stand the drastic difference between the two women. Didn't all beautiful women like rich men?Shouldn't beautiful women be vying for the attention of wealthy heirs instead?Sebastian was just a charlatan who went around tricking people! How could he have such a beautiful woman as his companion?Kayden was determined to make Nina one of his conquests by the end of that day so that she could see how impressive he was. Even if Sebastian died, Kayden wanted to make sure to cuckold him even in death!"Mr. Berkeley, t-this isn't appropriate!"Although Rocco did not know
Not long after Kayden had reached the Aequor, over a dozen ambulances pulled up opposite the hotel and waited there. "Rocco, get out here!" Kayden yelled toward the manager's office as soon as he reached the restaurant on the third floor. Rocco had received the news as soon as Kayden walked into the hotel. He had been scared witless when he saw Kayden storm in. Sebastian hadn't been back for two nights. He might have been killed by the Berkeleys! Without Sebastian's support, how could Rocco oppose them?To Kayden, killing Rocco would be as easy as crushing a bug. "What should I do, what should I do? Oh God, oh holy mother of gods! What should I do, damn it!" Rocco ran wildly around his office. He didn't even know which god to pray to for protection. "Rocco! If you don't get out here, I'll burn your office down!" Kayden shouted once more. Rocco's heart almost stopped at the mention of fire. He pushed the door open quickly and scurried over to Kayden. "Mr. Berkeley, plea
Kayden soon received news of how Sebastian had broken into the Berkeley clan hall the night before.He was furious. Who did Sebastian think he was? Was the Berkeleys' clan hall the kind of place that people could just walk in and out of as they pleased?"Mr. Berkeley, shall we go and see the clan hall later? After all, Ms. Candy is still there," Jayden said in an ingratiating tone.He had only managed to latch onto Kayden through his connection with Colton. This was a rare opportunity for him to make a comeback.That was why he had spent quite a large sum of money on Kayden recently. He had already gifted him over a dozen high-quality emerald pieces.Kayden wouldn't have been impressed by him if he hadn't done so."Do we need to? Sebastian is sure to die this time! Rocco is annoying me more right now. How dare he neglect me just because he thinks he's found a strong ally in Sebastian?"Kayden had seen clearly how obsequious and respectful Rocco had been to Sebastian while ignori
"You've done many evil deeds, and it's time for the Berkeleys to be destroyed!" Sebastian exclaimed. He summoned back his 18 clones with a single thought while he raised Purity. "No!" Violet screamed at the top of her lungs.There was a dull thump, and a head flew high into the air. A dark energy that looked both like a snake and like a human shot out at once. Sebastian wasn't going to let her have a chance of escaping. He tossed out four yellow paper charms at the same time. They formed a Nullcurse Spell and trapped both of Violet's souls within it."When I say die, I mean that your soul and spirit will be destroyed! You won't have a chance at finding another host!"Sebastian raised his palm and upturned it slightly as he said, "Destroy!""Sebastian, you'll come to a tragic end!"There was a blast as countless bolts of gold light burst forth and pierced the dark shadow, which looked both like a snake and a human.In the blink of an eye, the dark figure had disintegrated in t
In the end, even the scales on Lucius' body had been swiped off by the blows. Huge pieces of scales were torn off his body along with his skin and flesh. With every piece of scale that was torn off, he let out a bloodcurdling scream."Aargh! Please have mercy! I won't ever act recklessly again! Have mercy!"Lucius was now completely bloodied from the beating he had received. He was covered with wounds that went deep to the bone, and he was bleeding profusely. Even Violet couldn't bear to look at him.He no longer had the dignity of the ancestral being of the Berkeleys, and he had lost his domineering air. "You won't? Hmph! What are you going to say about that snake curse in her, then?" Sebastian asked, pointing at Candy. Lucius almost burst into tears. He didn't know anything about what they had done to Candy. Besides, once the soul of a snake began to merge with that of a human, they would become an entwined soul.He had only ever heard of a secret art that could separate an e
Lucius panicked at once. His clones couldn't make different moves, but Sebastian's attacks were all coming from different directions. How could he dodge them?A bolt of blue light slashed down on the head of one of Lucius' clones. He dodged to the side quickly while leaping up to dodge the other five swords. However, before he could land, he spat out a mouthful of blood.Although his original form had escaped from harm, his clones had been killed immediately. Although they were only his clones, they were very closely connected to his true form because of how truncated his Cloning Technique was compared to the original. That was why the backlash was particularly strong when his clones were killed."Just one move and both are already dead? Your Cloning Technique really isn't much!"Sebastian's 18 clones had surrounded the severely injured Lucius and were covering over a dozen different directions."How could this be? How could you have such an orthodox Cloning Spell passed dow
"How is that possible?"Lucius looked as if he was in disbelief when he saw that Sebastian had cut through the coal-black silk threads so easily. Sebastian appeared in front of him in an instant, and he raised Purity to slash at him.Right at the moment when the sword energy was about to touch Lucius' clothes, the air around them seemed to ripple violently. Lucius shot backward several feet as if he were a phantom, and he dodged Sebastian's attack."You're truly extraordinary!"There was a gleam in Lucius' dark eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to blur out of sight before splitting into three identical figures! Even the coal-black knife in his hand was exactly the same. "You didn't expect that, did you, young man? That's our lord's secret cloning technique!" Violet laughed triumphantly. Sebastian now had to fight against three on his own, which would be certain to end in his death. So what if he could break through the binding of the coal-black silk threads?
The handsome youth's name was Lucius Vipera. He grinned evilly and said, "You're the first person who's had the guts to insult me. You will pay!""My lord!"Violet hastily bowed to Lucius, too afraid to even look up at him.Lucius ignored her and strode toward Sebastian."Young man, you are extraordinary. To have accomplished so much in your 20s isn't an easy feat. If you apologize to the Berkeleys and promise to never oppose us again, I can consider letting you go today!" he said coldly in a manner that brooked no argument. Sebastian scoffed and shook his head as he said disdainfully, "You're not also planning to make me grovel to you in apology, are you?"While they all looked on in shock, Sebastian seemed to flicker out of focus, leaving behind a line of shadows as he rushed toward Lucius.Lucius narrowed his eyes and huffed coldly. "With your paltry skills, are you really going to—"Before he could finish, Sebastian's slap landed. There was a cold flash, which Lucius has
