Who would've thought that the Beckards' blockade of Arctic Snow Group would have been resolved so easily?The muscles on Jace's face were twitching violently. Every contract that was handed to Penelope felt like a slap in the face to him.The main issue was that since he had closed off all the distribution channels for the Arctic Snow Mask, he had been sure that Sebastian would've submitted to him within a month. As long as Sebastian handed him the formula for the face mask, Jace could've used it to establish his own business empire in secret.Armed with his outstanding results, he was sure to become the successor of the Beckards.However, all of these people were ruining his plan!The worst thing was that he had plotted and schemed for so long to put his pawns in place at the industry event, only to have Sebastian overturn everything almost instantly.The Beckards had not only failed to blacklist Arctic Snow Group; they had ended up offending the local medicinal ingredient com
It was a threat! It was a barefaced threat!From Jace's perspective, although Eugene was a figure of authority in Sunway's underworld, he was still just a thug. What right did he have to threaten the Beckards?The three Grandmasters standing behind Jace would be enough to completely overturn all of Eugene's forces in Sunway.Without Eugene's support, would the medicinal ingredient suppliers dare to go against the Beckards?"Hmph! You heard him! How dare thugs like you go against Mr. Beckard? You don't have self-awareness at all! If you don't want to see your family dead, take your people with you and get lost!" Fergus shouted.He was acting as if he was a guard dog. He rushed to the front and pointed accusingly at Eugene and Hans. He couldn't understand why Sebastian was so lucky. The man even managed to get Eugene to come personally to support him. In the past, Fergus would never have dared take this tone with Eugene, nor would he have openly opposed Hans. However, thing
Even if Nathan hadn't said anything, Zeke would have approved the license for the Griffins' clinic as soon as possible for Sebastian's sake."Alright, good." Nathan nodded. He turned to Sebastian and said, "Sebastian, thank you for curing me of my condition. However, this old bag of bones is always suffering from one ailment or another."Do you think you could open up a long-term convalescent room for me at the hospital under Arctic Snow Group?" he asked. Jace and Fergus turned deathly pale at once. Nathan was clearly full of energy. He didn't seem sick at all. He was obviously only doing it to support Sebastian.Jace cursed Sebastian inwardly. The look in his eyes was murderous as he stared fixedly at him. "Mr. Whitaker, what are you talking about? It's our honor to serve you," Sebastian said, nodding.Nathan chuckled and nodded. Suddenly, his expression darkened, and he turned to Jace and said, "I heard someone threatening Sebastian just now. "Did you say that you wanted to
"Come on, help Mr. Beckard put the floral arrangement onto the car!" Hans ordered, sneering. Two bodyguards hurried up to lift the flowers and place them on the hood of Jace's car.When Jace saw the flowers draped over his car, it immediately reminded him of a funeral hearse. He felt like he was about to throw up. An intense rage rose up in him, and he felt a dull pain in his chest. There was a cloyingly sweet taste at the back of his throat, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!"Sebastian! I will remember your insult to me today!" Jace was shaking violently, and he was only saved from falling over by Fergus, who hastily took his arm. "I do have some parting words for you, Mr. Beckard," Sebastian said, smiling coldly. "You'd better turn over a new leaf once you get back. Otherwise, you'll find that you'll need that flower arrangement very soon!" Jace gritted his teeth and laughed menacingly. He nodded and said, "Alright! I'll remember that! Let's go!" Nathan sighed
However, could Sebastian really go against the Beckards?After hesitating for a long time, Whitney walked quickly toward him. "Sebastian, wait!"Sebastian had just turned to go back inside, but he stopped when he heard Whitney calling out to him. His back was still turned toward her as he said, "What can I help you with, Ms. Sutton?"Was he really addressing her so formally? The distant way he was talking to her made Whitney's heart wrench in pain.She took a few deep breaths, and when she had finally calmed down slightly, she said, "Sebastian, I don't know what kind of relation you have with Mr. Targery Senior, but Mr. Whitaker Senior only came to thank you."You can't possibly think that Mr. Whitaker Senior would jeopardize his relationship with the Beckards for your sake, do you?"The power of the Beckards is beyond what you can imagine. You have no idea how terrifying these prestigious families from Janover are!"Frostwave Corporation already has over a billion in assets, bu
Hans and the other wealthy businessmen were in the event hall of Arctic Snow Group, having several rounds of drinks.Suddenly, the doors opened, and four armed soldiers barged in. They all stood to attention. "Salute!"Silence fell in the entire hall at once. The young man put his hands behind his back, and his shiny military boots clomped heavily on the marble floor.Eugene, Hans, and all the wealthy businessmen were frozen in shock.Hans slowly put down his raised glass. He had an ominous feeling, and he looked meaningfully at one of his subordinates. The subordinate nodded and ran swiftly to the inner hall.Sebastian was chatting casually with Nathan. He had only just returned to his seat when Hans' subordinate burst in. "M-Mr. Ballard… S-Something's happened! You…" The subordinate glanced at Nathan, who was seated in the center, and he swallowed the rest of his sentence."Alright. You can go." Sebastian waved a hand and turned to say to Nathan, "Mr. Whitaker Senior, Rosal
Before Zeke could finish speaking, Liam interrupted him coldly. "Mr. Fisher, please tell Mr. Ballard who my grandfather is!"Sweat beaded on Zeke's forehead. He couldn't afford to offend either Liam or Sebastian!"Whoever your grandfather is, you need to learn to respect others! Hasn't your grandfather ever taught you to be polite?""You little—" Liam's eyes narrowed at Sebastian's words, and he raised a hand as if to strike. "Mr. Holman, calm down!" Zeke hastily went up to pull at Liam. He smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Mr. Ballard is very busy today…""Let go!" Liam shook him off, sending Zeke flying several feet away. He crashed into a nearby table, sending the dishes on it crashing to the ground.Sebastian frowned and turned sharply to look at Liam."What's all this noise?" At that moment, Nathan's voice came from behind Sebastian. Liam glanced behind Sebastian, his pupils constricted when he saw Nathan walking slowly into the hall with Rosalie's help!"Commander Whita
"Sebastian, let Mr. Whitaker Senior finish talking." Rosalie saw that the atmosphere had suddenly become awkward, so she quickly glossed things over and poured Nathan another cup of tea.Sebastian hesitated, and his features relaxed slightly as he said to Nathan, "Mr. Whitaker Senior, go ahead and say whatever you have to say. I'll listen."Nathan's smile was restored slightly. "Sebastian, it's like this…"Liam's grandfather, Wyatt Holman, had been Nathan's comrade for many years. Due to a relapse of an old injury, he had been to all the major hospitals in Janover, but they hadn't been able to help him.Recently, he had returned to the sanatorium in Sunway. Although he was supposedly there to recuperate, the truth was that he just wanted to be back in his hometown. Wyatt had told Nathan more than once that if he had to die, he wanted to die in his hometown. Nathan had been planning to ask Sebastian to intervene. After all, Sebastian had cured his own chronic condition.However
Chandler had echoed the heart of all martial arts practitioners in Dramon for the past 5,000 years. Sebastian nodded and said, "As expected of a member of the Gladius Sect. You have very high morals. What a pity! It's a huge pity!"Chandler could hear Sebastian's determination in his voice. Even if the Lynches decided not to fight that night, Sebastian would still not forgive them."Is there no other way?" Chandler asked, turning to look at Sebastian.Sebastian shook his head slightly and asked Unus, "Aren't you hungry?"Unus' eyes lit up at once. That was the best news he had heard for the past few days!Bartemius looked at Sebastian in confusion. He didn't understand why he kept asking the burly man beside him whether or not he was hungry.Laurie stepped forward and pointed at Sebastian as he yelled, "Ballard, there are over 100 of us. Even if we only punch you one time each, we can turn you into mincemeat!""One punch each? You'd have to be able to throw out that punch firs
The law enforcement team all stared at Sebastian in shock. Was he going to kill more than 100 members of the Lynch family on his own?Maclin and Calder didn't doubt it at all. If Branson or Kody were here, the Lynches wouldn't be a match for them even if they all gathered together, but even the two of them working together had almost died by Sebastian's hand.If Sebastian wanted to slaughter the entire Lynch family, it would be a piece of cake. At that thought, Maclin and Calder had no choice but to retreat until they were out of the front yard, looking in from afar. When the law enforcement team saw that the Gladius Sect members had left meekly, they followed suit as well.Candy stared in disbelief at the others' retreating figure, looking dazed. She had thought that she knew Sebastian very well and that she was nothing compared to the entire Lynch family.However, reality had taught her a vivid lesson. She had severely underestimated Sebastian's abilities, as well as his infl
Sebastian looked at the three members of the Gladius Sect in the distance. "You three are all the successors of the Gladius Sect. I used to be at the same level as your seniors. We've interacted before, and I don't wish to kill you here. What happened today has nothing to do with you. It's not too late to leave right now!"After Sebastian had spoken, both Calder and Maclin were furious. How old did Sebastian think he was?How could he say that he was of the same level as their senior?"You may be young, but you're very arrogant. I'd like to ask you which senior of mine you know well," Maclin said, smiling coldly.Sebastian gave him a brief smile and said, "It's not just your seniors. If we were to discuss this in detail, I'd probably be on the level of your mystic tier seniors!""You little…" Maclin was about to lose his temper when Chandler stopped him. "Can you tell us what your name is?" Calder asked, looking impassively at Sebastian."Sword Fiend and Sword Zealot!" Sebasti
"Your prestige?"Cohen looked as if he had heard a joke. He laughed heartily and asked in a sardonic tone, "Does your family have any prestige at all? Was the antiques dealer in Longville waylaid and killed by people sent by Colton?""Also, anyone in the antique street who get a good item will have their entire family slaughtered if they refuse to sell the item to you Lynches at a low price! Do you really think that I'm both deaf and blind? Every single person in the Lynch family has hands stained with blood!"Cohen paced back and forth as he counted all the crimes the Lynches had committed. Once he had finished, even the members of the law enforcement team looked at them with hatred.Not only were they taking things that belonged to others, they were even destroying entire families. The worst thing was that they didn't even let three-year-old children go and had them chopped up into mincemeat.Were they even human?Although the apprentices of the Nine Sects were also arrogant, t
Bartemius huffed and said, "Revenge!""Revenge?" Cohen sneered and asked, "Mr. Lynch Senior, you did receive Mr. Wentworth's command, didn't you?"The moment Joaquin's order had been given, the new rule of the Martial Arts Court had been delivered to the various elite martial arts families. And the Lynches had been the first to be notified.Bartemius had no choice but to nod and said, "We have received it."Cohen nodded and said, "Alright. That's good. Don't you know what kind of crime it is to trespass on private property as a Warrior?"Bartemius took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He controlled his emotions with difficulty and said, "Mr. Gabbard, to tell you the truth, both my son and grandson were killed by this person!" He pointed at Sebastian.Cohen nodded slightly and said, "So what if that's true? I'm asking you where you are right now!"As he spoke, he pointed at the earth beneath his feet."This is the home of Ms. Candy!" Daxton interrupted.Bartemius glare
Bartemius was giving Laurie and Oswald a way out while also destroying all of Candy's expectations. "Old man, whether or not you believe it, I just want to tell you that Roman died at the hands of one of your own!" Sebastian said, grinning. Bartemius was about to explode with anger. Sebastian still looked as if he was enjoying a show. However, the thing was that Roman might actually have been killed by Laurie. The Lynches had always treated the six retainers well. If Roman really had been killed by Laurie, didn't that mean Bartemius had been supporting an enemy for all these years? "Hmph! We won't discuss the rest for now. Today, I only want to see you!" Bartemius shouted, pointing at Sebastian. As soon as he finished, the Lynches' apprentices all pulled out their swords. "Ballard, you won't escape justice today!""I am going to chop you into pieces today!" They hooted, looking as if they were ready to swallow Sebastian whole. "My lord!" Unus looked beseechingly at Se
Unus was craving for food. There were so many people there, and they were all Warriors! They were fresh meat!The problem was that Sebastian refused to let him eat them, and he was almost dying from how much he was craving a taste!"W-What is he doing?" Candy asked disdainfully.Candy had followed them into the front yard unnoticed, and she had seen Unus licking his lips and clenching his teeth. "He's hungry," Sebastian answered truthfully.Unus turned to look at Sebastian. His master understood him very well!Candy was dumbstruck. "Can you really handle this?" She was close to tears. How could he be hungry on the brink of an important battle?"Which one is Sebastian?" Bartemius asked coldly as he leaned on his walking stick. Sebastian sighed in resignation and said, "Hey old man, if your eyesight is failing you, don't come out at night. If you fall, you'll break your bones!"Candy laughed at his words.However, Bartemius was furious. He pointed at Sebastian with his walk
Cadmus sneered and said, "That's right. The Lynches' foundation is too strong. Not only do they control half of the antiques streets in Acorn City, they also have connections with the Nine Sects. If we don't take this opportunity to get rid of them, we may not be able to do so in the future!" Cohen narrowed his eyes and thought about it for a while. He smiled coldly. Archer was insignificant, and he had the audacity to brag in front of Cohen just the other day. All of this was the result of the Lynches' arrogance! Cohen nodded heavily and said, "You're right. Come on! Tell The law enforcement team to step forward!" The law enforcement team was one of the organizations within the Martial Arts Court, and it consisted of the experts sent by the Nine Sects. They were usually only managed by the head director, but as Javier wasn't around, Cohen had the authority to direct them. Before long, around 30 top experts from the Martial Arts Court had all gathered in the plaza.Cohen too
"Mr. Gabbard, we don't even know if we can find him. Even if we do, he could refuse us instantly!" another deacon said, frowning.Cohen tapped the table and said, "He injured a Lynch. Won't they go after him to retaliate? That would be his weakness.""What Mr. Gabbard means is that we should mediate between him and the Lynches and ask him to help," another deacon explained, and his eyes lit up. Cohen was shrewd. Both the Lynches and Sebastian had nothing to do with the Martial Arts Court. If they could get two experts to act on their behalf by just putting in a good word or two, it would be a great deal."That brat would be getting off lightly!" the other deacon huffed coldly.One of his friends had been among the deacons that Unus had pummeled into mincemeat. However, he would have to accept the way things were in favor of the big picture. At that moment, there was an urgent knocking on the door."Is anyone there? My name is Daxton Haddock, and I'm Ms. Candy's bodyguard!"Co
