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
One of the thugs with a machete stared coldly at Sebastian and sneered. "You punk, you're really here alone. If you don't want her to die, kneel now."Sebastian scoffed and glanced at them. He asked, "Are you Mateo's men?"The thugs' faces darkened.The one who spoke earlier raised an eyebrow."That's right, punk! We're with Mr. Mateo! Since you know now, let's cut to the chase. If you kneel and let us chop your hands and feet, we'll let her go. If not, we'll kill her immediately!"Steven, who was standing next to Rosalie, raised his hand and pressed a dagger on her fair neck. It pierced her flesh, and blood started oozing out.Rosalie struggled and yelled desperately, "Leave me, Sebastian. Go, just go now…"She didn't want Sebastian to be dragged down with her or get hurt because of her. Sebastian's eyes narrowed as he took count of the thugs quickly. There were 16 of them, 17 if he included the one beside Rosalie. The 16 thugs in front of him could be easily beaten. They w
"Oh? You recognized me?" Steven sneered evilly. Sebastian laughed and said, "Isn't the black star tattoo on your hand a mark of a Blacklister?"There was indeed a tattoo of a black star on Steven's arm. It was the symbol of the Blacklist. Every member had to carry this tattoo. The Blacklist was the country's chart of worst outlaws. Everyone on the list was an outlaw who committed all kinds of evil deeds. Among them were internationally wanted criminals, traitors of martial sects, and murderous demons. There were 100 people on the Blacklist. Every one of them were evil men who had blood on their hands. To become a Blacklister, you had to kill 100 people. The more people one killed, the higher one's rank would be. It meant that their target kills would be more formidable too. There was another way one could improve one's rank, and that was to challenge someone with a higher rank. Killing a higher-ranking Blacklister would allow one to replace that person. So, the Blacklis
