Silver gleamed in Sebastian's hands, and he held it against their necks as he said coldly, "Tell me who you are and why you're following me. If you don't tell me, you'll die!"The man and woman leaning against the wall were scared witless. The speed with which Sebastian had reacted had made it clear that they were no match for him.The two of them exchanged looks. The man spoke first, "Mr. Ballard, we're from the Ballard family."At the term of address, Sebastian's brow furrowed tightly, and his expression darkened at once. A bone-piercing chill settled over him."The Ballards? Who sent you?" Sebastian said harshly. The silver needles he was holding pierced into their necks, drawing blood!The man tried his best to remain calm as he said, "Mr. Roland Ballard sent us.""Roland Ballard?" Sebastian's expression darkened. He studied the pair in front of him, and once he had ascertained that they weren't lying, he put the silver needles away.It was only then that the man and woman f
Sebastian's expression darkened, and he frowned when he saw the fierce-looking men."Get lost! If you don't go away, I'll set them on you!" the butler, Arnold Wasser, said threateningly. Sebastian was impassive. "I want to see Ms. Griffin.""Damn you! Are you determined to cause trouble? Beat him up and send him packing!" Arnold yelled angrily.The bodyguards behind him immediately raised their sticks and aimed them at Sebastian.Sebastian raised a hand and waved it. With a series of thumps, the sticks were all snapped in half by a strong wave of energy. The men's expressions changed to horror at once. Before they could react, a harsh wind scraped across their faces, and they immediately fell to the ground, howling in pain.Arnold wet himself with fear. He shouted, "W-What are you trying to do? I'm telling you, this is the home of the Janover Griffins! If you make trouble here, you won't be leaving Janover!"Sebastian took a step forward and said coldly, "I want to see Ms. Gr
Sebastian stepped over Arnold and walked straight into the courtyard of Griffin Manor. He had just stepped inside when sirens began howling in the courtyard!Hordes of black-suited men surged forth from all directions and surrounded Sebastian. There were about 100 of them, and the number of people kept increasing.In just a moment, Sebastian had been surrounded three deep on all sides. He frowned, and without wasting any time with small talk, he continued walking forward."Stop him!" someone yelled, and the men immediately lunged toward Sebastian.They began kicking and pummeling him. Some of them even took out daggers and tried to stab him.However, Sebastian was utterly fearless. He only moved slightly and aimed a few kicks, and all the men charging toward him were sent flying!It was as if he was tossing sandbags or kicking trash away. They all flew backward and fell in the yard, all of them whimpering in pain.In the main hall, Alec was sitting and drinking his tea when he
As Tron's deadly move approached, Sebastian remained calm and composed. He furrowed his eyebrows only slightly.Tron took this as Sebastian being scared. He chuckled and thought inwardly, "Ignorant punk, you're so naive!""I'll send you to hell!" Tron roared.His hand, as powerful as a tiger's claw, aimed at Sebastian's heart with terrifying force. However, an unbelievable scene unfolded before Tron.Sebastian simply raised his hand and swung it toward Tron's face.The humongous palm struck Tron's face directly.At that moment, he felt as if his face had been hit by a truck. He flew back with blood spurting from his mouth. He landed on the ground with a thud and bounced a few times before rolling to a stop.This scene left Alec, Zolan, and the surrounding bodyguards of the Griffin family completely stunned!Tron was a Supreme Grandmaster! He was the most capable assistant of the second heir for the Griffin family, and with Zolan, they were known to be inseparable.Seeing Tron
As soon as the words left his mouth, Zolan sprang into action. He deftly pulled out a butterfly knife from his waist that was gleaming and thrust it toward Sebastian's heart.Sebastian furrowed his brow and kicked Tron's head. Tron flew backward straight into Zolan's knife.Zolan's eyes widened in shock as he quickly retracted his blade and caught the flying Tron. He thought it would be an easy catch, but he realized his grave mistake the next moment.The impact of Tron crashing into him felt like being hit by a speeding train. Both of them slid back and even left a ditch in the bushes. When Zolan finally steadied himself, he realized Tron was no longer breathing.Tron was dead; he was killed by one kick. Zolan's face contorted with rage, and a terrifying killing intent burst forth from him."You killed Tron!" he roared.Alec, who had been watching by the side, was shocked."What? Tron is dead?" he thought to himself."He was not strong enough," Sebastian said calmly.Zola
The Thirteen Elites were martial arts experts secretly trained by Alec. They were either traitors or outcasts from thirteen different sects. They were all ruthless, violent, and utterly remorseless. They were also known as the cleaners of the Griffin family, often handling Alec's under-the-table deals.At this moment, thirteen scary figures emerged from all corners of the estate. Their appearance alone was enough to instill fear. Several of them bore terrifying brands on their faces. Those were not tattoos but burn marks embedded in their flesh."Well, well, what a tender young man." A seductive woman with her eyes glinting coldly sneered as she licked her bright red lips and stared at Sebastian. Her voluptuous figure swayed as she walked, her ample chest bouncing. Her very presence exuded a sinister vibe that screamed, "Stay away.""Black Widow! Calm down. You get too excited whenever you see a man," grumbled a burly man who was muscular. He had dark skin, and his arms were c
With a loud bang, Grindel was sent flying through the air, much to the horror of the remaining Twelve Elites and Alec. He rolled across the ground like a massive meatball and finally came to a stop several feet away.Everyone was stunned. What just happened?When they finally took it all in, they realized that half of Grindel's body had been shattered from the collision with Sebastian. He lay there unconsciously and covered in blood.Sebastian stood calmly while dusting off his chest and exhaling. "So much for the Shieldan Sect. They're nothing special."The Twelve Elites were frozen in shock, eyes wide with terror. It became clear to them that Sebastian was extraordinarily strong."Kill him! Kill him now!" Alec ordered, his face pale from what just happened.The remaining Twelve Elites didn't hesitate as they immediately surrounded Sebastian. They gave off really terrifying killing intent.Sebastian glanced at the twelve of them with a calm demeanor. "A bunch of rejects fr
Sebastian carried Rosalie away from the Griffin residence and booked a suite at a five-star hotel. After resting for a while, Rosalie felt much better.Sebastian then asked, "Why are you suddenly marrying Stephen?""It's not me who wants to marry him. My mom is forcing me to!" Rosalie replied angrily.She then explained the situation. Her mother had tricked her into returning to Janover by claiming there was a problem with the Griffin family. Once back, her uncle, Alec had her confined. At first, Rosalie resisted, but then Alec drugged her with Rohypnol.Sebastian's face darkened. "Your mother is ruthless.""I will never speak to her again!" Rosalie declared angrily."So what do you plan to do now?""What else can I do? I'm definitely not marrying Stephen!" Rosalie said firmly. She then looked at Sebastian with a sudden smile. "Maybe I should marry you instead. That way, my mom can't do anything about it."Sebastian frowned. "I think it's better if I just take you back home
"What is your name, sir?" the bodyguard in the lead asked, smiling as he handed Sebastian a cigarette."Sebastian Ballard." As there was a child in the car and the windows were all closed, Sebastian waved the cigarette away."I've never heard of you before!" The bodyguard gave him a name card and said, "My name is Daxton Haddock!"Sebastian took the name card and smiled at Daxton. "I'm not from Boren. I just came here for a trip to Mount Quiln."Daxton was startled. Although the area around Mount Quiln was a popular tourist area, strange things had been happening there continuously since autumn the year before. No one had come there for a holiday for more than half a year."Mr. Ballard, are you confident of being able to save Ms. Candy?" Daxton asked rather worriedly. After all, even Solomon had said that there was no cure for a condition like hers. Sebastian was a young man in his 20s who looked very confident. It was hard not to be doubtful.Sebastian shook his head slightl
Solomon became agitated when he heard that Sebastian wanted to go to the abandoned mine. He tried to dissuade him. "You must not put yourself in danger, my young friend. Even others would have run into ghosts if they didn't heed warnings."The young man glanced at Solomon and said, "Dr. Jackman, they all say that you're a kind-hearted person. Why are you stopping others from trying to save Ms. Candy when you refuse to do so yourself?"Solomon turned red and sighed. "There was a huge mining accident there 30 years ago, and it's always been tainted with evil. To tell you the truth, my younger brother also didn't heed the warnings and—"Tears slid down Solomon's cheeks. Solomon's younger brother had endangered himself ten years ago to try and cure someone's illness. However, he had been carried back on a stretcher three days after that.He had been in the same state as the little girl and Candy. His eyes had been vacant, and he had neither eaten nor drunk nor slept. After just three
"Yes, we have. Mrs. Wilham from our village is a medium, but she says that she can't cure this child and asked us to look for someone else," the middle-aged woman said and started crying again."What else did she say?" Sebastian asked, bending down to look carefully at the little girl.The middle-aged woman hesitated for a long time before she stuttered, "Actually… Mrs. Wilham says that t-there's no hope for our child anymore! She can only live three more days at most!"Before the middle-aged woman could finish speaking, there was a screech of brakes outside the door. Right after that, there was the sound of hurried footsteps, and over a dozen young men in suits barged in."Which of you is Dr. Solomon Jackman?" the young man in the lead yelled urgently.Solomon answered quickly, "It's me!"The young man waved quickly at the people behind him and said, "Hurry!"Soon, a young woman who was about 20 years old was carried inside.The young woman was pretty, and she was wearing clo
The two apothecaries immediately tossed their brooms aside. One helped the middle-aged woman to open the door while the other took the child from her arms."Time to see a patient, Dr. Larsen!" one of the apothecaries called out to an old doctor as he carried the child inside.The old doctor pushed his glasses up his nose and eyed the mother and daughter. He walked slowly over to the consultation table and sat down."Don't worry, ma'am. What's wrong with the child?" the doctor, Ellis Larsen, asked the middle-aged woman. At that moment, Sebastian and Unus walked into Townsend Clinic together. On the way there, Sebastian had remained focused on the little girl because the look in her eyes was highly abnormal. "Doctor, I don't know what's happened to her. She hasn't eaten or drunk anything since last night, and she doesn't say a word no matter what I ask her. All she does is to stare vacantly into space!" the middle-aged woman said tearfully to Ellis. Ellis couldn't help drawing i
Javier had gone to Sunway for a meeting and was not in Acorn City. Whatever the old man said would be representative of Javier. "Mr. Gabbard, we can't let him go!""Yes, Mr. Gabbard. He's caused such a fuss at the Martial Arts Court that he should at least get both legs broken before we can let him go!""Besides, he injured Mr. Lynch! How will we explain to Mr. Berkeley when he gets back?"A few of the younger deacons protested. "I've already said that these two gentlemen may leave. Anyone who tries to stop them will be executed without mercy!" Cohen Gabbard was furious. Didn't these idiots know how to read the room? Did they have to carry out flattery no matter what the situation was?Didn't they know who the minced meat all over the floor belonged to? Who else could they be except the missing deacons?No matter how they had done it, someone who was able to smash a living person into mincemeat must be extremely powerful indeed. Even if they tried to tie Sebastian and Un
There was a dull thwack. The deacon in the lead didn't even have time to turn and escape before he was squashed into mincemeat by a single punch from Unus. Gleaming blood and flesh scattered everywhere. The rest of them tried to escape when they saw what had happened, but their speed couldn't compare to that of Unus. Before they could get to the door, Unus' fist had already reached them.There was a series of thumps as four or five deacons were all crushed. Blood and lumps of flesh fell all over the floor. The smell of blood hung heavily in the interrogation room.Jayden and Bryson cowered in a corner, trembling.Unus couldn't be human! How could it have reduced a live person to mincemeat with just one punch?As Jayden and Bryson looked on, Unus walked up to Sebastian expressionlessly. He raised his hand and tugged lightly on the chains that bound Sebastian tightly. They immediately broke into numerous pieces.Sebastian stood up and stretched before walking in Colton's directi
"Mr. Lynch! Are you alright?" The deacons surrounded Colton at once.Colton had been very unlucky that day. Not only had Sebastian beaten him half to death, but he had even been injured in the head once again by him, even though Sebastian was chained. When Colton noticed how much he was bleeding, he lost it completely. "Kill him!" he roared in fury, looking crazed. The deacons exchanged looks. They knew how skillful Bryson was. However, Bryson was unable to stand against Sebastian, and it made the deacons even more afraid to move forward.Although Colton was the heir of the Lynch family, it wouldn't be worth getting their arms and legs broken by Sebastian just to flatter him. "Go and get him, damn it! I'll give you money! Each person will get one million. Beat him to death!"Colton was very agitated. He yelled at the top of his voice at Sebastian while pointing at him with his crutch. As the saying went, there would always be a hero when there was a big reward. Upon hearin
A faintly murderous light flashed in Sebastian's eyes, and the deacons felt a chilling murderous energy. The deacon who had been pointing at Sebastian with a steel rod couldn't help stepping backward. He took a long time to recover. Sebastian was bound tightly in chains that were as thick as a man's thumb, and he had been cuffed to the steel chair. There was no way that he could fight back at all.The deacon felt annoyed at being scared by someone in that state, and he pointed at Sebastian with his steel rod again and shouted, "You must be tired of living, you brat! How dare you say Mr. Wentworth's name?""Even Joaquin wouldn't dare to speak to me in that manner," Sebastian said calmly.If Joaquin knew that Sebastian had been arrested by deacons from the Mount Acorn Martial Arts Court, he would kill them all without hesitation!"You're very arrogant! Mr. Lynch specifically mentioned this object. I'll give you five thousand dollars, and you can send it to him. Do you have any obje
"You said that Mr. Lynch wanted to take something that belonged to you. Where is the object?" the deacon in the lead asked, sneering. Sebastian pointed at his shirt pocket and said, "Here!" The deacon pulled out the emerald buckle from Sebastian's pocket. He weighed it in his hand and waved at the other deacons, saying, "Take him away!"When Jayden saw that Sebastian had been marched off by deacons from the Martial Arts Court, he called an ambulance for Colton. Luckily, Colton was from an elite martial arts family. Despite being spoiled, he had at least trained in martial arts, which was why he wasn't as frail as an ordinary person would be. Otherwise, he would have succumbed to his injuries long ago.Bryson and the others were also carried into the ambulance by the medical staff. Solomon sighed as he watched Sebastian leave. Although the Martial Arts Court appeared to be upholding the law, they were actually in cahoots with the Lynches. Now that Sebastian had been taken by t
