Across the street in a café, Fergus watched the scene unfold through the window, sneering."Sebastian, so what if you know Hans? Andon is on the same level as him. Even if Logan can't touch you today, you'll have thoroughly crossed Andon."Since Fergus had experienced Sebastian's prowess last time, he was afraid of him. He no longer dared to confront Sebastian head-on but still engaged in underhanded schemes.This time, for instance, even though he knew Jerry and Logan might suffer, it didn't matter. He was willing to risk Jerry's wrath if he could set up a conflict between Sebastian and Andon.…"Andon? Is he really that impressive?" Sebastian sneered coldly.Sebastian had heard Hans mention Andon before, but such a minor figure didn't even register on his radar. However, Rosalie's face showed a hint of worry. She knew Andon's reputation as the only person in Steinberg comparable to Hans. He was notoriously difficult to deal with, and crossing him would undoubtedly bring tro
There was nothing Logan couldn't handle in Steinberg. Even if he couldn't, Andon could."What a joke. There's nothing I can't manage in Steinberg," Logan said disdainfully.Jerry chimed in angrily, "Go on then, ask everyone you know to come here. Let me see who dares to mess around here.""As you wish." Sebastian took out his phone calmly and called Hans. Then, he gave Eugene a call.The third call was for Mike, who had been in Steinberg to check up on Black Tiger Martial Academy these past few days.They were all stunned when they received Sebastian's call. They wondered who was so bold as to offend him in Steinberg."Logan?" Mike frowned after he hung up. He had never heard of this person before; he was probably a nobody.However, since Sebastian had personally called him, Mike knew that he wanted to show his power in Steinberg. Of course, he wouldn't allow anybody to offend Sebastian.He stood up and told his two bodyguards, "Order the entire members of Black Tiger Martial A
Before Logan even had the time to recover from his shock, another frightening figure appeared at Amor Dream Restaurant."Mr. Targery?"Logan might have been scared moments ago, but now, he was completely terrified. Eugene was a powerful and scary figure in Sunway!Right now, Logan had already cursed Jerry in his heart ten times over. If not for him, would he even offend these people?Jerry promised that Sebastian was just a nobody!Eugene didn't even bother to look at Logan. He walked over him and stood right in front of Sebastian. "Mr. Ballard, there was a traffic jam out there. Hope I'm not too late."Sebastian nodded without saying a word. Eugene then stood behind him.Jerry stared at Eugene and the guards dressed in black around them. He was scared out of his wits.He imagined a scenario where Sebastian was the one begging for mercy. How did he manage to call all the big shots here? Who exactly was Sebastian?Then, he suddenly realized something. Sebastian created a scene
Perhaps Hans and Wagner would beat him up.Andon snickered and looked up at the two of them. To him, Eugene and Hans were the ones in charge. He had no idea why they were so respectful toward Sebastian yet.When he saw Sebastian's young age and the fact that he was a nobody in Steinberg, he thought it would be impossible for Hans and Eugene to work for him."Mr. Targery, Mr. Wagner, it seems this young man here is a little reckless. What do you think?" To be frank, Andon's influence was only in Steinberg; Eugene's was on a whole new level compared to him.However, if he allowed Logan to be punished today, would anyone still obey him in the future? Hence, he had to protect Logan no matter what."What Mr. Ballard wants is what he'll get," Eugene and Hans replied in unison.Andon's face stiffened, and he sat up straight. He replied in a low voice, "It seems the two of you are not considering this situation for my sake at all. Logan is my man. Whoever touches him is challenging me!
Andon was on par with Hans in Steinberg. However, they were just small-time thugs with no connection to martial arts at all! Mike, on the other hand, was different. He was the owner of the largest martial arts academy in Sunway and possessed terrifying strength himself, far beyond these small-time thugs.Even Eugene had to consider Mike's status sometimes!When faced with stronger forces, Andon had no choice but to yield to Sebastian.However, it wasn't over yet. As the sound of police sirens outside the door rang out, a large number of officers rushed out of their cars and arrested all of Andon's men outside.The sound of leather shoes approached as Vince stepped in."Ah, Ms. Griffin, Mr. Ballard, nice to see you! It's quite a commotion today."Sebastian and Rosalie both stood up, approached Vince, and shook hands with him."Mr. Weist, today's matter was trivial, but someone deliberately caused trouble for me, even publicly embarrassing Ms. Griffin. We just had to take action
Vince was stunned, and he looked at Sebastian in surprise.The atmosphere became extremely awkward.Rosalie tugged at Sebastian's clothes lightly and said, "Sebastian, I think that's enough. We might need Mr. Weist's help in the future."Sebastian patted Rosalie's hand lightly, signaling her not to worry."Mr. Weist, I believe you still remember the incident last time, don't you?" Sebastian asked."Yes." Vince nodded and continued, "Mr. Ballard, there is no concrete evidence last time, or else Fergus would not have been able to roam freely."Sebastian scoffed as he walked toward the pale-faced waitress. He pointed at her and said, "Mr. Weist, it is precisely because I always choose to resolve things peacefully that even her, a mere waitress, has the guts to bully Ms. Griffin. And also, this guy here."Sebastian then grabbed the manager's collar and lifted him up."Mercy, please!" The manager's mind went blank, and he started to beg for mercy."Hmph!" Sebastian scoffed and toss
"Mr. Beckard, what's the matter?" Gandolf asked in concern when he saw Jace's livid face.Jace remained silent for a moment before answering, "Sebastian is not a simple guy."Then, he explained the whole situation to Gandolf."It seems he is indeed not one to be underestimated. No wonder Mr. Stephen ended up this way," Gandolf said.He continued, "But this doesn't mean there's nothing we can do. In my opinion, since Andon lost to him now, we can use him in the future."The best way to deal with underground thugs was to make them backstab each other.Jace's eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily. "Then I'll have to thank Sebastian for giving me a free pawn. Come, find a way to contact Andon and ask him to see me!""Got it!" one of the guards responded before walking out of the room."Mr. Beckard, I have an idea to force Sebastian to his own end.""Oh?" Jace was immediately interested. "Gandolf, just tell me directly. I will do as you say." Gandolf then whispered his plans into
Andon sat on the couch and eyed Jace. "Mr. Beckard, why are you helping me?"Jace didn't try to hide anything and told Andon about Stephen's situation. However, he skipped parts that were not beneficial to the Beckard family."Sebastian really is audacious. How dare he cause trouble even in Janover?" Andon said aloud. Secretly, he wondered how the Beckard family's influence could possibly let Sebastian escape so easily."Yes, indeed. Unexpectedly, we didn't obtain favorable evidence. Otherwise, how could Sebastian roam free? But these things aren't important. What matters is our future cooperation." Jace's words dispelled Andon's inner doubts."Mr. Beckard, there are some things you may not know. Sebastian has quite a few connections. Even Sunway's most famous martial arts academy is working for him. I appreciate your consideration, but…"Andon smiled wryly and continued, "I'm afraid I might disappoint you. With my abilities, causing trouble for Sebastian is akin to seeking deat
When Chet and the lackeys looked more closely, they saw that the car parked in the distance was a personal car and that there was a gorgeous woman sitting inside it.They were delighted at their good fortune. This was an opportunity they could not miss!As they were in such a remote area, they barely ever saw any women, let alone a beautiful one like Rosalie.Therefore, Chet gave the order, and the thugs all surged forward. They were barely able to contain their excitement."Hello, beautiful. What has upset you so much at this late hour? Tell us about it. Even if we can't make you happy, you can make us happy!" The short, fat man in the lead reached out to pull Rosalie's car door open as he spoke.Rosalie was beside herself with fear. She hastily locked the car and pulled her phone out of her bag as she screamed loudly at the men outside her car. "What do you want? Stay away from my car, or… or I'll call the police!"The fat, short man glanced at Rosalie, who looked frightened an
Sebastian heard Rosalie sobbing behind him. He turned around abruptly, but Rosalie rushed over to him and slapped him in the face before he could explain."Sebastian! I rushed over here as soon as I heard that something had happened in Steinberg! You… You're a jerk!" Rosalie was weeping. She had been planning on telling Sebastian on the day of the martial arts battle about the good news of the huge order that Arctic Snow Group had received from Lorcan. However, while eavesdropping on a conversation between Oliver and Belinda, she found out about the huge commotion over in Steinberg.When she heard that all eight of the Celestial realm experts that the Warrior League had sent to protect Whitney had all been killed and that the latter had disappeared, Rosalie couldn't contain her anxiety.She had rushed back to Steinberg at once.When she found no sign of Sebastian at the Moonlyte Club, she had come to the convenience store instead.She saw that it was lit up and had run straight
Hank and Taylor broke out into a cold sweat when they saw what had happened. Terence was like a god to them!Who would have thought that Terence, who had had the upper hand just a moment ago, would have stood vacantly on the spot just because Sebastian had thrust the rusty bronze mirror at him? He had just stood still and waited for Sebastian to come and kill him!"Run, hurry!" Before he could think too much about it, Taylor growled in a low voice and turned to flee to the foot of the mountain.Hank only came to his senses when Taylor was already far away from him. He was about to go after him, but he had only gone a few steps when a ghostly, feminine figure appeared and blocked his path."You—" The moment Hank turned, his soul almost left his body from fright at what he saw.Only a moment had passed since Terence's murder, but the eerie woman in front of him had already cut off more than a dozen heads. Whenever she cut a head off, dark energy would be sucked into her emerald
Terence wielded his sword. Wherever the blade pointed, the air was sliced apart instantly!Sebastian forced himself to concentrate and raised his sword to shield his chest!There was a clang as Terence's sword crashed down on Sebastian's, and sparks flew up at once. Sebastian couldn't help but take a few steps back. He felt the energy roiling inside him and almost spat out a mouthful of blood."My lord!" Nina felt extremely anxious when she saw that Sebastian was at a disadvantage. She ignored Sebastian's previous command and leaped over to him to hold him up. "My lord, are you alright?" Nina asked in concern. Sebastian was slightly flushed, and he looked as if his energy was becoming erratic. He shook his head slightly and pushed Nina away. He handed Whitney to her and said, "Protect Whitney well. If anything happens to her, come and see me with your head!" Nina turned to Rose, who was beside her. She wanted to protest, but Sebastian waved a hand and said, "Lyanna was hur
"It's a pity that you'll never understand," Sebastian said.Terence's face flushed. Who would've expected a young man in his twenties like Sebastian to be so perceptive? He was even more advanced than Terence in the Way of Wisdom!"My lord, I was trapped in the front yard just now. No matter how I walked, I couldn't get through the door. That's why…" Lyanna trailed off and hung her head, looking shamefaced.Technically, she was a spirit. How had she fallen prey to the Bewitchment spell? Even Lyanna was puzzled."It's the Soulbell!" Sebastian turned abruptly to look at Terence.Lyanna felt that she couldn't have been trapped by the Bewitchment spell because she didn't actually have a body. Meanwhile, Nina was a thousand-year-old snake deity, and ordinary formations couldn't contain her at all.Therefore, there was only one possibility. Terence had external help. The Soulbell was the only possible explanation.Nina and Rose arrived as well."Protect Whitney," Sebastian said befor
Sebastian eyed the middle-aged man and laughed coldly. "You surprised me too. Do you want to be a sacrifice for my sword?"Sebastian gently shook Purity, which he was holding. Immediately, it felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck the entire yard!Hank and the others began mocking him at once. "Ballard, you are bold out of ignorance. Do you know who is standing in front of you? Let me tell you, it's the seventh elder of Sword Towers, Mr. Manderly."One of them added, "Consider it an honor for you to be killed by Mr. Manderly."Sebastian raised an eyebrow and squinted at Terence as he said, "If I'm guessing correctly, Nina and the others must have fallen into your trap. That's why they haven't arrived yet. Right?""You're observant!" Terence smiled faintly and said, "If you hadn't stepped into Draconem Cathedral right before I did, you would be stuck in a Bewitchment trap, just like them."Honestly, it's a miracle for someone of your age to have this level of training. However,
While Taylor stood there, stunned, Sebastian bore down on him. Upon seeing Sebastian raising his fist to hit him once more, Taylor hastily pulled himself together and met Sebastian's punch with his own."Are… Are you all stupid?" Blood was seeping out of the back of Taylor's hand as he looked at the people behind him."You've always liked fighting alone, Taylor. We were afraid that we would spoil your fun." Despite what Hank said, he turned on his heel and sent a spinning kick at Sebastian to block his path.Sebastian felt a strong force rushing toward him, and he immediately stopped in the midst of pursuing Taylor. He moved aside and aimed a roundhouse kick at Hank. Yet another wave of energy exploded, and fear flashed across Hank's face. The blow had seemed plain, but it embodied the mysterious principles of martial arts.Even an expert who was two levels higher than Hank would have had his bones broken by that kick, let alone someone who was only at the first level of the Ce
The building where Whitney had been imprisoned was now as bright as day as the spotlights shone on it.Sebastian untied her calmly and helped her up to walk out. "Sebastian, forget about me. I'm only going to be a burden to you, and I'll only hurt you." Whitney was already very weak. Even walking seemed very difficult for her. There was no way that they would be able to escape the clutches of the people around them in her current condition. Sebastian sighed. "I see that you still don't trust me." Despite this, there was a gentle look in his eyes when he looked at her."Sebastian, I—" Before Whitney could finish, Sebastian put a finger to her lips to shush her."Let's go out," he said in a tone that brooked no argument. Whitney was startled for a moment and was about to break free of Sebastian's support when a large, firm hand gripped her arm tightly. Sebastian walked out of the cramped meditation building with Whitney by his side, looking upright and noble next to her."I
"My lord, are you going to Draconem Cathedral?" Nina and the others hastily ran to catch up when they saw Sebastian walking quickly downstairs."My lord, if we rush there overnight to rescue Whitney, we might be walking into a trap. If so, the consequences will be dire." Lyanna tried to persuade him.It would be hard to win when there were so many people on the other side. Even if they were all at the fifth level of the Celestial realm, it didn't mean that the other side would not have any experts.Besides, the terrain around Draconem Cathedral was very complicated. How could they be sure that the enemy had not set a trap there?"We must rescue Whitney today," Sebastian said heavily."My lord, the area around Draconem Cathedral is very dangerous," Nina said. "If we fall into a trap set by Sword Towers, we won't be able to rescue Ms. Sutton. In fact, we'll be putting her in more danger.""I can't bother about all that. Even if I have to walk through a sea of fire, I must rescue Wh
