Hans and his subordinates were discussing the issues pertaining to their organization in his private villa. Suddenly, an underling ran in and cried out urgently, "Mr. Wagner! Bad news!""What is it? Why are you panicking?" Hans said, looking displeased.The underling said quickly, "Dr. Ballard has been arrested!""What did you say?" Hans shot to his feet and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Who arrested him?""I'm not sure, but I heard that Leonard is the interrogator!" the underling replied quickly.Hans' expression changed, and he said, "Leonard? The Judge from Hell? Oh no! If Dr. Ballard falls into his hands, things will not end well!"Hans was anxious. Without any time to think further, he called out to his underlings. "Take around a dozen men. We're going to get him out!""Yes, Mr. Wagner!" he answered and immediately ran to gather the others. Within moments, more than a dozen Land Rovers carrying Hans and his men set out, heading straight for the police station where S
Sebastian laughed slightly and said, "You want me to sign this? Okay. Kneel and beg me."The man exploded with anger. He threw the agreement violently onto the table and said angrily, "Damn it you little bastard! I don't think you realize how serious this situation is! Do we really have to show you what we mean?"The man pulled out a baton and weighed it in his hand. He laughed sinisterly and said, "Hey, punk. This is a custom baton, and it's designed to be very painful when used to hit someone. It leaves no trace, either. Do you want to try it?"Sebastian glanced at it and said impassively, "Are you going to take the law into your own hands? Who gave you the right?""I'm the authority here! How dare you talk back to me? It looks like you want us to do this the hard way!" the man roared. He swung the baton at Sebastian's arm.However, Sebastian lifted his hand and grabbed it."You're actually fighting back?" The man was furious and tried to kick Sebastian.Sebastian snorted and
Leonard was infuriated when he saw Sebastian sitting calmly. "What do you think you're doing, you punk!" he yelled. "You want me to ask you to go out nicely? Do you think you're special?"If you dare to assault police officers here, then I'm telling you, you're dead!" Leonard roared, his face contorted with rage.Blood dripped down his hand. His arm hurt so much it seemed to pierce right into his soul. The other man got up shakily. His eyes seemed to burn with intensity as he glared at Sebastian, who was sitting on the metal chair. "Damn you!" he shouted. "Assaulting an officer is a crime punishable by death. If you had just signed your name, you could've left, but now you can't leave even if you wanted to!"Sebastian calmly laced his hands behind the back of his head. He laughed and said, "Someone will come and invite me out.""You still insist on putting up an act? I'd like to see who'll come and invite you out!" Leonard roared. He was itching to tear Sebastian into pieces.
"That's right!" Hans said.Carl's expression changed completely. He looked serious and conflicted."Mr. Wagner, forgive me for asking, but what sort of relationship do you have with him? We did arrest him, but we have a reason for it. He's involved in a serious case and is currently being interrogated."Hans' eyes narrowed as he looked sharply at Carl. "Captain Lopez, I'm not going to play games with you," he said coldly. "Dr. Ballard once saved my life, and I think of him as highly as I do of my own parents!"I know very well what kind of person Dr. Ballard is. The case that you're referring to is completely ridiculous. Something must've framed him! I want you to let him go at once!"Carl's expression turned grim. He was Steinberg's police captain. He had the authority to decide who got arrested and who got released.Hans had power and influence in Steinberg. He also had many subordinates. Ordinarily, Carl would treat him with the utmost politeness. However, this situation was d
Rosalie's beautiful face was grim as she said coldly, "You're Captain Lopez, aren't you? Sebastian is a benefactor of the Griffin family. I want you to release him immediately."Carl looked troubled. He didn't dare to refuse Rosalie's request. However, Fergus was upstairs. How could he explain things to Fergus if he let Sebastian go?"Ms. Griffin, Sebastian Ballard is involved in a serious case. We're just interrogating him according to legal procedures. If there aren't any problems, we'll be sure to let him go. Please understand." After thinking it over, Carl had decided to stand his ground. He didn't want to let Sebastian go. Rosalie's expression darkened. "Captain Lopez, are you testing my patience?" she asked, annoyed. Carl's expression changed. He could tell that Rosalie was suppressing her anger. "Um, Ms. Griffin, please wait a moment. I'll go in and have a look." Carl smiled, then turned and ran back into his office. Fergus was sitting on the sofa, calmly sipping co
"Since you're standing on Steinberg soil right now, you have to follow our rules." Rosalie's expression darkened, and she looked grim. She looked up at Carl's office window and discovered a figure.She laughed coldly. "Captain Lopez, I see that someone gave you courage when you went up.""I don't know what you're talking about, Ms. Rosalie. I'm just obeying the law," Carl said immediately."As if!" Rosalie snapped. "You know much better than I do what the truth is! Aren't you afraid that I'll contact Chief Vince Weist?"Carl was momentarily stunned.If she called Vince, there would be trouble. However, at this juncture, he couldn't hold back! As long as Sebastian signed the paper to admit his crimes, everything would be fine.Therefore, he said harshly, "Even if Chief Weist comes, there'll be no use! Kick them out! You, come with me!" A few officers began herding Rosalie, Hans, and the others out. One of them followed Carl.Carl rushed to the interrogation room. He knew that
After hanging up, Vince's expression turned dark.Who would be dumb enough to arrest a guest of the Griffins?Vince swiftly sent people to find out. A few minutes later, he received the information."Leonard and Captain Lopez?" Vince looked grimly at the names."Assholes! If they offend Ms. Griffin and prevent Steinberg's development, I'll kill them both myself!" Vince said angrily. He left the office quickly and ordered his chauffeur to drive to the police station. …Back in the interrogation room, Carl held his gun at Sebastian's head. He roared angrily, "I'm going to ask you once again, punk. Will you sign this or not?"Sebastian looked at him calmly and smiled. "I won't.""Do you have a death wish?" Carl pushed him violently and yelled, "Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you right now?" Sebastian chuckled and said, "You can try firing the gun!""Are you taunting me?" Carl snapped. The sound of a gunshot rang in the interrogation room. However, the bullet hit the floor
Vince's brow furrowed in surprise. He looked at Carl and the others and asked accusingly, "Tell me the truth. Was he really the one who hit you?" "Why would we lie, Chief?" Leonard said hurriedly. "It was that guy, he's crazy! We were asking questions normally, but he just attacked us!" the other injured officer added. Rosalie frowned. She shook her head and said, "I don't believe Sebastian would do that. I want to go in and ask him myself." Carl immediately stopped her and said, "Ms. Griffin, this is an interrogation room. Non-related people aren't allowed to enter. That's the rule." "Are you feeling guilty, Captain Lopez?" Rosalie said coldly. Carl immediately puffed up his chest and said quickly, "What do you mean, guilty? We're just following normal procedure. You can ask Chief Weist if you don't believe us!" Rosalie looked at Vince, who nodded. However, he immediately said, "I can accompany you if you'd like to go in, Ms. Griffin." Carl and the others looked worrie
Javier fell with a thump onto the floor. He stared dazedly as Kayden was tied to a long bench with a rope."Bring in the family members of the victim. Who from the law enforcement hall will carry out the punishment?" Sebastian demanded.He pulled out a silver needle and pierced one of Kayden's acupuncture points, which would make him more alert.When a man in a wheelchair was pushed into the hall by a young woman who looked very frail, Sebastian stood up quickly.He said to the young man, "Kayden is the reason your family's fallen apart. We'll torture him to death very soon.""That asshole! He deserves to be slashed a million times!" the young man yelled at Kayden, clenching his fists tightly."Don't get agitated. He won't die before he gets cut 7,000 times. Although you don't have the right to carry out the execution, you can splash salt water over his wounds!"Sebastian took a bucket from one of the law enforcement hall apprentices and placed it in front of the young man."Se
At least that man had not had to grovel to the perpetrators to thank them. Not only did Brayden have to grovel to the law enforcement hall men, he even had to thank them!After about four hours, when Kayden had pulled up his pants, he went over to Brayden and said in a slightly ashamed tone, "Inspector Jefferson, I… I had no choice!"He sounded as if he was completely innocent.Brayden wanted to murder him. Just a minute earlier, when Joaquin had called out his name, he had been shaking with excitement. He had even forgotten about the pain of having his crotch injured and lunged toward Darla like a hungry wolf. Now, he was standing in front of Brayden, acting innocent?Brayden had only gotten into this state because of Kayden!After sending away all the reporters, Joaquin sent a message to Sebastian. In less than ten minutes, Sebastian sauntered back into the restaurant. He glanced at Darla, who was lying on the floor with a vacant look in her eyes. Sebastian patted Brayden's sh
If the incident was broadcast, it would be sure to cause an uproar, and Boren would become the center of the storm.However, Sebastian had made up his mind, and Joaquin didn't dare to try and dissuade him. He had no choice but to do as Sebastian had commanded and call over the news teams from all three states' television stations.Since the head director of a state was calling them personally, none of them dared to refuse. In less than two hours, the news teams from all three state television stations had arrived and were in position."What news are we broadcasting today, Mr. Ballard?" a female reporter asked Sebastian.She had seen how messy the place was, and there didn't seem to be anything for them to report about."Later, these people are going to help a family improve the gene pool, and I need you to broadcast the entire process live. Before you do, please play a recording of a phone call from Inspector Jefferson," Sebastian said. He sent the recording of the phone call
"Kneel!" Sebastian suddenly yelled.Brayden yelped with fear and fell to his knees."Sebastian, I… I'm a tristate inspector of the Martial Arts Court!"At that point, Brayden's final hope was his authority and position. He didn't want to die, and he especially didn't want to die for no reason.He just wanted to win favor with the ancestral being of the Berkeleys and get some tips on how to get a longer life."Call your wife! I'll give you two hours. If she doesn't come, you'll be tortured to death as well. I can tell you clearly that I'm a doctor, and I have ways to keep you alive until you get slashed 3,600 times with a knife!" Sebastian said icily."I…"Brayden trembled as he pulled out his phone. His mind had gone blank, and it took him a long time to find his wife's phone number. Her name was Darla Wyllis. "Hello? Honey? A handbag caught my eye today, but that stupid store actually refused to give it to me for free! It's a lousy handbag that only costs about 500 thousand d
Jayden had only gone a few steps, but he had no choice but to stop. He turned and grimaced at the Berkeleys and Brayden, who were all looking in his direction.He was filled with regret. He should have made his escape earlier instead of coming back with Brayden. Egbert and Yorrick were clearly fools. One of them had maimed himself and ended up vomiting blood relentlessly, while the other stood there like an idiot for Sebastian to slap him. He would be surprised if either of them could defeat Sebastian.As everyone was watching him, Jayden had no choice but to return to his previous spot. He looked nervously at Yorrick, praying inwardly that the old man would somehow get more skilled. He couldn't let Sebastian screw him over!"This is the last slap, old man. Do you still have any feeling in your face?" Sebastian asked, raising his palm."Damn you!" Yorrick swore violently. However, one of his front teeth had been knocked out earlier when he was slapped, and air escaped noisily t
The entire left side of Yorrick's face had become so numb that he couldn't feel a thing."Young man, just now you already hit me—""I only slapped you once!" Sebastian interrupted, holding up a finger.Yorrick spat and said, "How could one slap have made so many noises?"Sebastian replied innocently, "Everyone here can testify that I only hit you once, and I did it very slowly too. You all saw it, didn't you?"The onlookers nodded quickly, especially the experts from the law enforcement hall. They still couldn't figure out how an expert at Yorrick's level could have been sent flying through the air by a weak slap like that from Sebastian.What puzzled them the most was that Yorrick had clearly landed in a very safe spot. Why had he insisted on rolling into a pile of broken glass and gotten such a gaping wound on his face?"Fine!" Yorrick clenched his teeth and suppressed the pain in the right side of his face. "There are still two moves left!" he said viciously."Will you com
Sebastian nodded slightly. Yorrick had probably killed the young man because the latter was proficient in mystic spells and was already on the brink of the threshold. That could be the only reason for Yorrick's senseless deedThere were some people who couldn't bear seeing people who were stronger than them, which was why they made their move before their opponent could grow and develop."Are you really going to concede three moves to me, old man?" Sebastian stepped forward, grinning."Of course!" Yorrick answered, staring arrogantly at him.He still hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary with Sebastian, so he assumed that Sebastian was just an ordinary guy. He had probably only been able to defeat so many experts—including Egbert—because he had used some kind of trick. Egbert had lost because he had fallen into Sebastian's trap, not because of the latter's skills. That was why Egbert ended up suffering from the backlash of the ghost he had nurtured and lost his powers."I'll
"Young man, you're so cruel. Have you ever thought of the consequences of your actions?" Yorrick asked. He put his hands behind his back as he walked slowly toward Sebastian. Sebastian eyed Yorrick, whose training was at least on the same level as Egbert's. Besides, what he had studied was also a kind of spell. He and Sebastian specialized in the same study.The moment Yorrick got angry, Sebastian had sensed the faint power of Dainist principles from him."No blows are kind, and neither are harsh words! Why do you people feel that others should meekly allow you to beat them up? When your people are injured, you immediately think of it as the other party's mistake! That doesn't make any sense!" Sebastian answered coldly."Mr. Irving, kill that asshole!" Kayden said viciously. He was still clutching his crotch with one hand while he pointed at Sebastian with his other hand. Beside them, Jayden said defiantly, "Mr. Irving, you must not let this guy go! He's ruthless and extremely
Huh? Egbert frowned involuntarily. He had never felt that way before. What was going on? There was a loud blast, and the gigantic statue suddenly appeared out of thin air. At the same time, Egbert suddenly felt his blood churning inside him, and he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.He was about to turn and run when a black bolt of light hit him in the back. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew through the air like a broken kite. "Oh! Are you actually a sadist, old man?" Sebastian asked, smiling.Before Egbert could scramble up again, yet another bolt of dark light flew toward him."Damn it!"Egbert could no longer be conscious of his image and dignity. He swore at once. The dark light was aimed at his energy reserve. If he was hit, his decades of training would be completely ruined. However, he had plenty of life experience and had been through many such situations. When he saw the dark light flying toward him, he rolled across the floor like a bal
