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
"I know him?" Stephen frowned.Madison continued, "Sebastian from Steinberg. He trespassed my house just now and took Rosalie away."Stephen was infuriated at the news. "Fuck! This bastard is now causing trouble in Janover!" Stephen's face twisted with anger.He was taught a lesson by Sebastian in Steinberg because he wasn't familiar with that place. But now, this was Janover, the territory of the Beckard family!Stephen didn't care anymore and said to his subordinate, "Call some men with me. Let's go get Rosalie.""Alright, Mr. Beckard," replied the subordinate."Wait!" Stephen shouted. "Yes?" the subordinate asked.Stephen frowned and spoke in a low tone, "Call more men. Also, call the five elders from our courtyard. Tonight, apart from bringing Rosalie back, I want Sebastian dead!""Got it!" The subordinate then went to arrange it.Alec and Madison gave each other a look and said, "Mr. Beckard, we'll leave you to it and go back first. We look forward to your good news!"
Stephen's hundreds of guards charged at Sebastian with a deafening roar. The hotel lobby was thrown into chaos, filled with shouting and the rush of bodies.Sebastian's eyes narrowed, and his face darkened. Without wasting a breath, he sprang into action.In the blink of an eye, Sebastian moved like lightning, disappearing from view. The next moment, cries of agony erupted.Ten of the guards were sent flying, clutching their chests as they hit the ground, coughing up blood and dying instantly.Before the others could react, a dark blur passed by them. Sebastian moved swiftly, breaking arms with a sickening crack. Then, screams of pain filled the air. It was a complete massacre.The hundreds of Beckard family guards barely caught a glimpse of Sebastian before they saw their comrades falling one after another. His figure flickered like a ghost, appearing and disappearing before their eyes.Within moments, all the guards were down. They were writhing on the ground and groaning
From how pale Sebastian was, Bryson deduced that he must be very sick or extremely weak. He even felt that fighting against Sebastian would be an insult.Although he wasn't the top fighter in the Lynch family, he was still one of the best ones. There was no honor in winning against a sick person."I'm going to give you the same words," Sebastian said, smiling widely."Mr. Lynch, he's actually very powerful. I don't think that Bryson will be a match for him. Why don't you let them attack together?"Jayden had seen Sebastian fight before. Although he could see that Sebastian looked unwell, he was still an expert. It would be better to be more wary. Colton rolled his eyes at Jayden. He knew Bryson's skill level. How could an expert who was at the eighth level of the Energy Refining Technique lose against a sick man?Sebastian looked so frail that he was sure to be knocked out as soon as they started fighting. Plus, the number of people in the whole of Acorn City who could last more
Colton nodded slightly and patted Cliff on the shoulder. He turned and said to Sebastian, "You heard him. He's one of our men. Therefore, you can't take that with you, but you won't make too much of a loss. Here's a check for 500 thousand dollars. Hand that emerald buckle over!"Colton was clearly not going to give Sebastian a choice in the matter. He was used to doing whatever he pleased by relying on his family's influence. Besides, they were also on very good terms with the local Martial Arts Court. He couldn't use his family's connections for the grudge between Jayden and Sebastian, but he would have ample reason to use the Lynches' influence for a priceless emerald buckle.There always had to be a legitimate reason. Clearly, Colton was smarter than Jayden. "I'm not interested in your check, and I'm not going to give it to you either!" Sebastian answered coldly without even glancing at the check.Colton looked thoughtfully at Sebastian and clasped his hands behind his back.
Sebastian had just walked out of the antiques street and had held out his hand to flag down a cab when a middle-aged man in black training clothes walked over to him. The man held out a hand to block Sebastian and Unus' path."Stop!" Sebastian glanced at the middle-aged man and asked, "And what can I do for you?""Mr. Lynch wants to see you. Come with me!" the middle-aged man said icily."Mr. Lynch? Who the hell is that?" Sebastian asked sardonically, sneering. "It's Colton Lynch, and you better remember it!"Sebastian heard a clear, crisp voice. Two young men walked over to him, one walking slightly in front of the other.There was a young man in a branded suit next to the first one. Sebastian couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw the young man next to Colton. It was Jayden, his old friend from Sartvale.Sebastian had never expected to meet Jayden Acorn City. Now that he thought about it, Jayden still owed him a life. If Sebastian hadn't shown mercy to him, the flowers
The old man nodded slightly and said, "That's right. My name is Solomon Jackman. If you think things through, you can come to Townsend Clinic. We can discuss the price!"Solomon bowed to Sebastian before squeezing out of the crowd. Cliff's eyes reddened as he watched Solomon leave. Solomon was a prominent figure in Acorn City. Not only did he have exceptional medical skills, he was also skilled in martial arts. However, neither of those were Solomon's true specialty. What he was most skilled at was antique appraisal! Any antique that Solomon appraised was sure to be a treasure among treasures.Noticing Sebastian and Unus turning to walk away, Cliff immediately became agitated. "Stop!" he shouted.Sebastian turned to glance at him and said, "A deal's a deal. No returns or refunds. You said that yourself. It's the rule of the antique industry!"Cliff ignored all of that. He came out from behind his stall and grabbed Sebastian's sleeve. "I'm not going to sell that emerald pendan
"I don't think that you've seen the original form of this emerald pendant, either," Sebastian said, smiling coldly at Cliff. Cliff looked disdainfully at him. He felt that Sebastian was just unhappy about being tricked and was trying to provoke him. "Stop putting on that mysterious act. Why wouldn't I know about something that belongs to me?" Cliff demanded with a scoff. "You might really not know," Sebastian replied. He closed his palm slightly and exerted a slight force. The layer of stone on top of the emerald pendant peeled off. While everyone looked on, dumbstruck, Sebastian opened his palm once more. The crowd gasped.There were two clouds of energy on the emerald pendant, chasing each other like a pair of fish. One was black, while the other was red. The emerald pendant had been square-shaped originally, but it had now become a round emerald buckle. In the middle of it, a pale yellow energy was rising slowly. Everyone cried out in shock. It was clearly a rare trea
Some people just didn't know what was good for them. Even if Cliff had wanted to laugh, he should have waited for Sebastian to leave before doing so. How could he call a buyer a fool while they were still there?"It may be a little crude, my young friend, but it doesn't change the fact that you were hoodwinked!" Cliff said, guffawing gleefully.Since Sebastian had already paid, he could no longer take it back. After all, it was a rule never to accept returns or refunds. When Cliff thought of how he had charged Sebastian more than ten thousand for something that had only cost him about 300 to 400 dollars, he became even more smug. "You'll just have to bear with it, my young friend. Not regretting your purchase is the rule of the antique industry. Even if you've now found out that you were deceived, you can't get your money back!""That's right. The work on the emerald pendant that you're holding is so shoddy that it was clearly just done last week. It's a new item!" "Watch out
Sebastian laughed at the reluctant expression on the stall owner's face. He weighed the emerald pendant in his hand and asked, "Mister, are you sure that this emerald pendant is worth 210 thousand?"With that, he tossed it onto the counter and turned to leave."Huh?"The stall owner immediately ran around to the front of the stall when he saw that Sebastian was about to leave. He grabbed him and said, "Don't be in such a rush to leave, my young friend. Let's negotiate. If you're sincere about buying it, I'll sell it to you at 150 thousand, and I'll be making a loss. Let this be the start of a friendship between us!"Sebastian smiled slightly and said, "Mister, even a layman can tell that this emerald pendant is a fake. I just like the patterns on it because it's quite trendy. That's why I asked about it on a whim."Describing the patterns on the antique as trendy only served to show how obvious it was that it was a fake.The stall owner turned beet red, then white. He cursed hi
However, the more famous something was, the more imitations there would be. Antiques were no exception. In Boren, streets filled with antique stores were abundant. From Klane City to the smallest town, they were omnipresent.There were stores and stalls of various kinds that had everything, but all of them had one thing in common. All the antiques and trinkets that they sold were a mixed bag of authentic and fake. Buyers had to rely on their own judgment. There was also an unspoken rule there. Once a deal was made, no returns were allowed. If a buyer had paid for an item before realizing that something was wrong or recognizing that it was a fake, they would have no choice but to accept it. There was a saying about how the golden age of antiques was during times of chaos. Although they were now in times of peace, many members of the upper class were still very interested in them. Both experts and laymen liked to have a few collector's items in their homes. There were plenty of we
"Watch him closely! If you lose him, I'll have your head!" Anton said before hanging up. A malicious grin spread across his face.As the son of the head director of Boren Martial Arts Court, many were eager to curry favor with him. If it came to dealing with Sebastian, there were plenty of people willing to do the dirty work for him. Acorn City was the second largest city in Boren after Klane City, and Anton knew just who to call. About two weeks ago, the Lynch family of Acorn City had sent gifts to him. However, as the Lynches were a third-rate elite martial arts family, Anton had dismissed them. That was why, despite searching frantically, he couldn't find Colton Lynch's name card."Damn it! Where did that asshole's name card get to?"It was the first time Anton had been so anxious about finding the name card of an heir from a third-rate family. After rummaging around for a while, Anton had a sudden flash of inspiration. It was in the trash can!He suddenly remembered that
