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
Immediately, the trees around them snapped in half!The corpse puppets did not have time to react. Their bodies were cut in half, too, and they fell to the ground as a cloud of dust.When the sword's energy had dissipated, Sebastian remained standing there, holding the golden sword of air. He walked toward Muriel step by step.Muriel was dazed with fear. She was trembling all over as she fell to her knees, staring at Sebastian as if he were some kind of god. She begged for mercy. "Dear sir, please spare my life, I'll…"There was a hissing sound. Sebastian had raised his hand and wielded the sword, and Muriel's head rolled onto the ground! Her eyes remained wide open in death.Sebastian tamped down his energy and exhaled. He stepped over Muriel's corpse and ran into the rundown church, where he saw Whitney with her hands and feet tied up."Whitney," Sebastian called out. He ran over and began to loosen the ties around her hands and feet.After he had undone the knots, Whitney hug
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
