Then, these guests all looked toward the head table in unison. Seated at the head table was Stephen's father, Kendrick Beckard. His brow furrowed deeply as he asked in a solemn tone, "What happened?"A steward handed his phone to Kendrick with trembling hands. Frowning, he looked at the video on the phone, his eyes suddenly bloodshot with fury as he roared, "Stephen? Where is this? Where?!" Kendrick demanded loudly, shaking the entire Beckard Manor.The steward stammered, "The Galaxy Hotel…""Damn it! Who dared to do this to my son?" Kendrick bellowed furiously. "I will tear him to pieces!""Bring him here! Gather the 3000 Beckard family desperadoes, and follow me to the Galaxy Hotel!"Footsteps echoed loudly. Soon, all 3000 Beckard family desperadoes were assembled in the estate, dressed in white outfits with face masks and armed with long knives.The air was filled with a solemn and murderous intent.Kendrick strode out of the hall, his face dark with anger. He looked at
Sebastian looked at the infuriated Kendrick and said, "Yes.""You're asking for death!" Kendrick roared.As long as anyone dared to harm his son, that person would have to pay the price no matter what."Kill him!" Kendrick commanded.Instantly, hundreds of desperadoes dressed in white, brandishing long knives moved to attack Sebastian. However, Sebastian remained calm and composed. With a serene expression, he asked, "May I make a phone call?"Kendrick's eyes narrowed at Sebastian's request. He raised his hand, signaling the approaching desperadoes to halt. Then, he fixed a cold gaze on Sebastian and said, "What, you want to call someone?""Something like that," Sebastian replied casually.Kendrick burst into laughter, filled with disdain and mockery. He sneered. "Fine, I'll give you a chance! Make your call! Tonight, I want to see who you can call upon to save you!"If the ones you call have weak backing, shallow backgrounds, or insufficient power, not only will you die, b
After that, the members of the patrol division jumped out of the armored car and swiftly formed several rows. They were waiting for the last car to stop.The onlookers were shocked at the scene!"Oh my! What's the patrol division doing here?""They have the authority to act first and report later!""They weren't called here by that young man, were they? Would he be able to deploy them?"The crowd of onlookers were shocked. Even Kendrick's expression darkened and his brow furrowed. He was amazed. The patrol division? What were they doing here?Just as Kendrick looked on in confusion, the door of the last car opened. Chester Zinn got out of the car.When he saw Chester, Kendrick's expression changed drastically!Chester? He was one of the top three commanders of the patrol division. He had actually come personally!Kendrick's brow was tightly knitted. He turned back suddenly and looked at Sebastian, who was sitting impassively in his chair.Had he called Chester over?Cheste
Chester thought for a moment and replied, "After your mother escaped from the Ballards, she once went to Steinberg and met someone there. She left a few things behind.""In Steinberg? Who did she meet?" Sebastian asked.It was probably the only person who had seen his mother.Chester's brow furrowed, and he said, "I haven't managed to find out. I only know that he has a nickname called, 'the Imp.'""The Imp?" Sebastian's expression darkened, and he frowned. Chester tried to placate him. "Things in Janover are complicated. The incident with your mother didn't just involve the Ballards. There were many other people, too. They're all hiding in the darkness right now."Your return has already drawn a lot of attention. Don't keep a high profile. I'm worried that they'll choose to attack you."Sebastian smiled, but his expression turned cold. He said, "We'll wait and see, then! I'd like to see who they are! They forced my mother to escape the Ballards and are the reason why I lost he
The Slaughter Gods. They were one of the top three warrior associations in Dramon's underworld.They were like the International Assassins. All their members were highly skilled and ruthless warriors.Since the establishment of the Slaughter Gods, they had maintained a high mission success rate of more than 80 percent!They very rarely failed.Once Ashton had left, Kendrick stood at the door to the manor's main hall and looked out at the pale crescent moon. He said coldly, "Sebastian! No matter who you are, no matter how skilled you are, how can you survive when facing the Slaughter Gods?"…In a mountain range deep in Dramon, there was a dense jungle. In the jungle, there was a cluster of buildings that looked like an army base.A four-wheel drive stopped at the steel gates of the base.Ashton jumped out of the car.After he got out of the car, he made a call as planned. "I'm here."Very soon, two ape-like figures swung swiftly through the jungle like phantoms. They sudden
Sebastian's expression darkened. He said a few words to Rosalie, left the convenience store at once and headed straight for Westville's Frost Lake.He could not make Whitney suffer on his account. That would cross the line for Sebastian. Westville's Frost Lake was located in a forest, and it was famous for how deep it was. The lake was several hundred feet deep, and its waters were as cold as ice. That was why it was called Frost Lake.A few years ago, a tour group had come to dive and bathe in the lake. Over ten people had died as a result, so the lake had been sealed off.There was still yellow police tape around its perimeter. It had once been a renowned tourist attraction, but it had now fallen into disrepair.Beside Frost Lake, there was a church. People had once come to worship there, but it had been abandoned because of the lake.Whitney was in the dilapidated church, and both her hands and feet had been bound. She huddled in a corner, her face streaked with tears. She
Muriel sat at the door to the dilapidated church, waiting quietly.Inside the church, Whitney looked up through the broken roof at the pale moon outside. Her eyes were full of tears.Would Sebastian come for her?She wasn't sure. He was probably still in Janover, fighting for Rosalie.At that thought, the tears in Whitney's eyes trickled down her cheeks. She was full of regret, and she hated herself. She had been the one who had pushed Sebastian away step by step. She was the one who had disappointed him time and time again.However, Whitney knew very well that she loved Sebastian.Now, the misunderstanding between her and Sebastian had grown deeper and deeper.The man who had treasured her so much and who had had eyes for no one else except her was now fighting for another woman.Whitney couldn't help bursting into tears. She felt very wronged."Sebastian, didn't you once say that you would only love me for the rest of your life? Why did you leave me and fall in love with a
Muriel laughed ferociously and said, "You can talk when you've survived, young man!" The soil bubbled and heaved.Corpse puppets popped up from the ground. They were completely decayed and smelled putrid.Sebastian frowned and looked grim as he looked around at the corpse puppets around him.At Muriel's command, the corpse puppets lunged fiercely at Sebastian. He shook his head, his expression turning cold. There was a terrifying energy around him.Gold bolts of spiritual energy flew toward Sebastian from all directions. As he moved his hands, the gold spiritual energy seemed to be guided by him, and they coalesced into gold charms in mid-air. "Shield against evil!" Sebastian yelled. He raised a hand and pressed down in the air!At once, the yellow charms made of gold spiritual energy shone brightly with a golden glow. They shot toward the corpse puppets.With a series of thumps, every yellow charm attached itself to a corpse puppet, sounding like metal crashing against metal
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
