Sebastian could very well come from one of the nine prestigious sects.At the thought of that, Marco's face darkened."What, Mr. Rivera? Is this all you've got? If that's the case, we should rename the Riverville Warrior League to the Ballard Warrior League, after my surname." Sebastian chuckled.Marco was infuriated as anger roiled within him. He yelled, "Brat, you've gone too far thinking you're some hotshot! I didn't want to kill you, but it seems like the only way for you is death!"He gathered his energy and attacked Sebastian once more.This time, Sebastian didn't hold back.Within three moves, Marco was punched in the chest. It sent him flying backward like a kite with a broken string. He slammed into the floor and tumbled away before stopping at a distance.Blood dripped down his chin as he coughed more out."Mr. Rivera!" the Riverville Warrior League members cried in horror. None of them would have ever expected Marco, their leader and the top martial artist in River
Marco's face was soaked in gruesome blood under Sebastian's foot."H-How dare you treat me like this? Do you know how powerful and respected I am in Riverville?" Marco growled in a deep voice, trying to intimidate Sebastian.However, Sebastian couldn't care less. He looked at Marco below him and said, "Mr. Rivera, it seems like you don't understand the situation you're in right now. I asked what you would choose—life or death."Marco felt goosebumps prickling his skin at Sebastian's words. He thought Sebastian was feeling murderous."D-do you… y-y-you, really dare to kill me? I'm the leader of the Riverville Warrior League! If anything happens to me, you'll never make it out of Riverville!"He threatened Sebastian in anger, but fear grew in his heart.Sebastian wouldn't really kill him, would he?"I see that you've chosen death, Mr. Rivera," Sebastian replied coldly with little emotion.With that, he stepped harder on Marco, making him yelp in pain."Argh! Stop, stop! I want t
Marco shuddered in fear. He groveled to Sebastian and shouted, "I'll never betray you! Absolutely not! From today onward, you're the highest leader of the Riverville Warrior League. I, Marco Rivera, will be at your disposal!"Sebastian chuckled and turned to leave.Marco breathed in relief after Sebastian left. He shouted, "Quick! Go and get Dr. Lowe!"Soon, an old man arrived at Riverville Warrior League with his medical kit.Marco's external injuries have already been tended to. "Dr. Lowe, please check my condition quickly. There's a couple of silver needles in my chest. Hurry and take them out," he said anxiously.Ronald Lowe, a gray-haired genius doctor, nodded and examined Marco's chest.His expression changed the moment he saw where those needles were situated. He uttered in horror, "I-It's… the Reaper technique! Mr. Rivera, I'm so sorry. I dare not remove these needles.""Why?" Marco's face darkened.Ronald hurriedly explained, "This is the Reaper technique. If anyone el
Sebastian and Rosalie returned to the convenience store.Sebastian frowned when he saw that the Longevity Pill was still in its place.Hadn't Robert returned yet?"What's wrong?" Rosalie came over to him and asked.Sebastian smiled. He put away the Longevity Pill and said, "Nothing. What do you want to eat?""I want the spaghetti you make," Rosalie replied with a grin.Sebastian answered, "Okay. I'll make spaghetti for you."He headed to the kitchen and made two servings of spaghetti bolognese.Rosalie was drooling when she saw the spaghetti being served. She had been waiting at the table while licking her lips."Oh, it smells amazing." She ate in satisfaction.Sebastian rolled his eyes. "Just how long have you been starving?""You made this. Of course I love it," Rosalie said with a chuckle.Sebastian was at a loss for words as he shook his head. They continued to eat in silence.Soon, a car stopped in front of the entrance.Whitney sighed in relief when she saw that the
The sound of the engine revving was thunderous, a sign of Whitney's fury toward Sebastian as she left in her car.Sebastian came out of the kitchen and glanced at the invitation.Rosalie took it and passed it to Sebastian. She asked with a smile, "Are you going?"Sebastian looked at the entrance. He sighed and replied, "Yes. I promised her I would.""Okay." Rosalie finished her spaghetti. She got up and said, "I'm going back. I'll come over later tonight.""Sure." Sebastian nodded.The convenience store turned silent after Rosalie left.It was quiet and lonely.Sebastian sighed. He thought of the wild truffle he bid in Riverville."Let's try it and see if it can suppress my Molten Frost Poison," he muttered before heading off to the hall in the back.He sat cross-legged on the floor and started to refine the wild truffle.It wasn't a complicated process. He used his inner energy to refine the medicinal properties of the wild truffle.Soon, traces of white light flowed out o
There were more than a hundred tables set up at the grandest hotel in Steinberg.Tonight was the wedding of Fergus Cobb, general manager of Cobb Corporation, and Whitney Sutton, CEO of Frostwave Corporation. Many of Steinberg's prominent individuals were invited.It was a grand celebration over at the hotel.Fergus, clad in his suit and tie, welcomed the heads of the elite families and company owners.After a while, he went aside and asked his subordinate, "Where's Whitney?""Ms. Sutton is still doing her makeup upstairs," the subordinate replied.Fergus nodded and went upstairs. He opened the door to the dressing room and was immediately blown away by Whitney in her wedding dress.She was absolutely gorgeous—the epitome of beauty."Winnie, you're way too beautiful." He stared at her greedily as if he would swallow her whole.Whitney gave him a small smile. She stared at herself in the mirror. Somehow, she wasn't really excited, especially when she saw herself in the mirror.
Leonardo groveled and cried as he came clean. Whitney froze. She frowned and asked, "You ordered someone to kidnap me? What do you mean?"Leonardo explained, "Your brother Dante owed our casino 50 million dollars. He told us to kidnap you so he could take over Frostwave Corporation. He'd then used the corporation's money to pay his debt.""What did you say?" Whitney looked shocked, and she trembled slightly.The one behind her kidnapping was Dante? Was Sebastian telling the truth that day?"Didn't Sebastian make you do this?" Whitney asked.Leonardo panicked. He quickly lowered his head to the floor and exclaimed, "Ms. Sutton, you've misunderstood him. Mr. Ballard was there to rescue you. Dante was the one who planned the whole thing. I have evidence."Leonardo took out his phone and played a recording of a phone call. After listening to it, Whitney staggered and fell into her seat. She finally realized that she'd misunderstood Sebastian. She'd even slapped him! "Oh no, wha
When Whitney arrived at the convenience store, she saw that the door was ajar and the lights were on. Whitney got out of the cab. She held up her wedding dress and rushed into the store, but no one was there. She saw the two wedding invitation cards she'd sent that afternoon lying on the table. Was Sebastian not here? Whitney looked around, but she didn't find him. She looked forlorn as she picked up the invitation card on the table. Her eyes reddened as tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. He didn't attend her wedding banquet.Whitney retrieved her phone to call Sebastian, but he didn't pick up.She called a few dozen more, but he didn't answer any of her calls. "Sebastian, where are you? Where in the world are you? I was wrong. I was the one who misunderstood you. I'm sorry. Please pick up the phone," Whitney cried anxiously as she continued calling him. …Fergus was talking to his dad in the private suite of the wedding venue. Suddenly, one of the butlers
