Sebastian's ability to defeat Conrad indeed surprised Klaus. But it was only a momentary surprise. To him, Sebastian was nothing more than an insignificant nobody. Conrad had held back because he didn't want to cause a fatal injury. After all, the missions undertaken by the Alpha Strike Force were extremely challenging and dangerous and carried life risk. In a real mission scenario, Conrad would've finished Sebastian off easily.Thus, Klaus coldly mocked, "Don't think that just because you beat Conrad, you're special. He was holding back. If he hadn't, you'd already be a corpse."At this moment, Conrad struggled to his feet with blood dripping from his mouth. His eyes were filled with murderous intent as he glared at Sebastian. "You little punk! How dare you fight back! Do you even know who I am?" he shouted. "Why should I care who you are? What, you expect me to just stand here and take a beating?" Sebastian replied coldly. He was clearly displeased by Conrad's attitude."Y
In the next moment, Klaus stopped speaking and launched an attack on Sebastian. Each of his moves carried a lethal intent.Sebastian was unafraid, and he skillfully countered each of Klaus' moves with precision.The longer they fought, the more frustrated Klaus became. No matter how he attacked, he couldn't launch an effective attack, not even touching Sebastian's clothes."Is this punk really just an ordinary warrior?" Klaus wondered. But having already boasted, he couldn't back down now. His strikes became even more vicious, with each strike aiming to kill.Sebastian raised an eyebrow, losing interest in the prolonged fight. "Captain. Hindon, your skills are quite average," he said coldly. "Let me end this."With that, Sebastian switched from defense to offense and threw a punch through the air.Before Klaus could react, Sebastian's punch hit his chest. It felt as if he had been struck by a truck. Klaus was sent flying over 30 feet and crashed to the ground.Coughing up bloo
After thinking for a moment, Sebastian told Rosalie he was going to the restroom and took the opportunity to head up to the second floor.Meanwhile, in the private room on the second floor, Adrian held a glass of wine and approached Whitney with a smile. "Ms. Sutton, cheers."Whitney quickly raised her glass and smiled politely. "Thank you, Mr. Reece." She then took a small sip.Adrian feigned displeasure, with his tone turning stern. "Ms. Sutton, just a sip? Are you looking down on me or the Reece Corporation?"Hearing this, Whitney hurried to placate him with a smile. "Mr. Reece, of course not. I'll drink."She then drained her glass in one gulp. Adrian watched her drink with his face full of lecherous glee. Seeing the wine trickle down the corner of her mouth only fueled his desire further. He was practically salivating at the thought of possessing this beautiful woman."Come on, Ms. Sutton. Bottoms up," Adrian said and poured another glass.Whitney wanted to refuse, bu
Adrian laughed sinisterly. "Bastard! You scumbag!" Whitney cursed. She struggled to get up to leave the private room. She knew that if she stayed any longer, the consequences would be disastrous.As time ticked by, Whitney felt an unusual surge of desire coursing through her body. She was burning up with a deep-seated longing magnified within her. Especially now, when she looked at Adrian, she couldn't help but see the image of Sebastian in her mind.Noticing Whitney's increasingly dazed state, Adrian grew more excited. Unable to wait any longer, he tossed aside his wine glass and lunged at her. "Gorgeous, tonight, you are mine!" he shouted. "No! Get away, get away!" Whitney struggled desperately, but it was futile.Suddenly, the private room door was kicked open. A figure with murderous intent stormed in. With a swift kick, he sent Adrian flying away. Adrian crashed heavily to the floor, groaning in pain."S-Sebastian? Save me…"Whitney saw the figure in her dazed s
Rosalie saw Sebastian carrying Whitney down from the second floor, and she frowned. "What's the matter?""I'll explain later. Let me send her back first." Sebastian then left with Whitney.Rosalie stomped her foot angrily and followed behind.Soon, the three of them went back to the convenience store.Rosalie was jealous when she saw Sebastian giving Whitney acupuncture treatment. "I've never seen you so worried about me."Sebastian rolled her eyes. "She was drugged.""Drugged?" Rosalie blinked and continued, "What happened?"Sebastian stored his silver needles and told Rosalie everything that happened in the private room."Do you know who that guy is?" Rosalie asked.Sebastian shook his head. "Nope, I forgot to ask."At this moment, Whitney woke up. She saw Sebastian and Rosalie and asked, "Why am I here?"Rosalie glared at her and crossed her arms. "Why else? Sebastian saved you.""Sebastian?" Whitney was puzzled. Then, she recalled everything that happened.Her body sho
Sebastian scoffed and shrugged Whitney's hand away. "Ms. Sutton, you don't care about me, do you? You care about yourself and the Frostwave Corporation project more, right?"Whitney was stunned, and she looked at Sebastian in confusion. "What do you mean?""Do you really need me to repeat that?" Sebastian said.Whitney's face darkened, and she asked Sebastian with displeasure. "Sebastian, you really think I'm like that?""What else? I saved you, yet here you are, blaming and scolding me! Is Reece Corporation or Adrian so powerful?"If you think me hitting Adrian would make things worse for you and Frostwave Corporation, then ask him to see me," Sebastian said coldly before heading to the back of the store.Whitney was stunned, staring at his back. Rosalie gave her a proud glance and shook her head. "Ms. Sutton, I really don't understand why you keep hurting Sebastian when he has always been so nice to you. Don't look for him anymore, in case you hurt him even more."With that
Whitney was hesitant."Since you're not making any decision, then I will decide for you. Someone, catch Sebastian!" Edna said angrily.This matter involved the Sutton family and Frostwave Corporation, so Edna had to make a choice."Got it!" The few bodyguards outside of the meeting room responded, then left.Whitney was scared, and she shouted, "Wait!"Instantly, everyone turned their eyes to her.Whitney took a deep breath and held her fist. "I'll go. Don't bring trouble to Sebastian anymore. I'll handle this issue!"Edna scoffed and left the meeting room. Then, the higher-ups also left. However, they were stating how dissatisfied they were with Sebastian hitting Adrian.Crystal waited for most of the people to leave before approaching Whitney. "Winnie, why are you helping Sebastian? He hit Adrian, so he should be the one handling this matter! Aren't you just selling yourself now?"Dante said, "That's right! You've already divorced that scumbag, so why do you even care? You c
"Do you know who Adrian is? It's well-known in Steinberg that he's a pervert!" Dante shouted. "He initially wanted our family to cripple your arms and make you apologize in person at Reece Corporation. "But Whitney decided to help you! She even said that it is none of your business! You're really a jerk, yet she still cares so much about you!"Sebastian frowned upon hearing that. "What? Whitney went to Reece Corporation alone?""Yes!" Dante replied. "And if you feel bad about it, then go save her! If you're late, she might have already been assaulted by Adrian!"Sebastian muttered to himself, "This woman is really a busybody."Feeling helpless, he had no choice but to drive Dante's car and rush to Reece Corporation.Dante and Crystal then gave each other a triumphant smile.Meanwhile, Whitney had arrived at Reece Corporation.Inside the CEO's office, she was bowing and apologizing to Adrian. "Mr. Reece, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect that my ex-husband would get physical."Adr
