"It's rare for you to be so nice."Trevor looked at Jace from the corner of his eyes. He was surprised that Jace could conclude that he hated Sebastian for some reason just by seeing him getting kicked out of the car.It seemed like Jace was also a schemer.Jace noticed Trevor's doubtful gaze and smiled. "Mr. Northman, don't be surprised. Sebastian isn't a person who knows what's good for him. It was him who spoiled my plan during the industry event a few days ago."Although I have no idea what happened between the two of you, I know he must have something to do with you getting kicked out of the car, no?"With that, Jace lit a cigarette and took a long drag."Seems like you've done your research well." Trevor didn't answer his question.Jace smirked slightly and replied, "Mr. Northman, we are old friends, no? No need to be so formal with me."Also, I just want to share the same good outcome with you. Even if you don't want to take action against Sebastian, the Beckard family s
Trevor concluded that Sebastian's weakness was Whitney."Sebastian, you shouldn't have crossed me. I'll show you the consequences of doing so."He then called two people.On the same night, Sebastian was meditating when his phone rang. Seeing that it was from an unsaved number, he hesitated before answering."Are you Sebastian?" a cold voice came from the other end. "Yeah," Sebastian answered simply."Whitney is in my hands now. If you don't want her to die, bring me the formula of Arctic Snow Mask and meet me at Number 18, Westfore Street, in an hour. Come alone."If you call the cops, be ready to see Whitney's corpse."What?Sebastian's heart sank at the threat. He asked, "How do I know if she's really with you?"On the other end of the line, there was only a cold, sinister laugh in response to Sebastian. Shortly after, the piercing scream of a young woman echoed through. Even over the phone, Sebastian could clearly identify that the voice belonged to Whitney.In truth,
As he spoke, Sebastian leaped into the air, raising his hand to release a burst of energy.The energy struck the assassin's wrist with pinpoint accuracy, followed by a muffled groan as the assassin's short knife clattered to the ground."Vital energy release?!"The assassin was utterly shocked. He never expected Sebastian to possess such terrifying skills. As a lower-tier member of the Slaughter Gods, he knew nothing of Sebastian's past, and he himself was merely a Grandmaster. In his understanding, taking down someone like Sebastian, who was used to a life of luxury, should've been effortless. However, not only did the surprise attack fail, but Sebastian also used vital energy to knock the short knife from his hand. The suddenness and incredibility of it all left him reeling. This only meant that Sebastian wasn't merely a weak boss who couldn't handle anything, as Trevor had claimed.On the contrary, his strength was definitely superior to that of a Supreme Grandmaster!"Di
"Tell me, who sent you, and where is Whitney?" Sebastian asked coldly."Hmph! She's in our hands now. Do you really think you can negotiate with me now? Surrender if you want to see her!" the gunman said coldly, glaring at Sebastian.However, Sebastian could feel the gunman's hand shivering, and he saw beads of sweat forming on his forehead."I'm going to ask you one last time. Where is Whitney?" Sebastian walked toward the gunman, radiating a terrifying air. The gunman felt a chill run down his spine. "I'll admit that you're indeed very strong, but the bullet in my gun is no ordinary bullet. Even a Supreme Grandmaster wouldn't escape unscathed if the bullet hits."The gunman then pulled the trigger.After three shots, Sebastian remained unmoved, but his hand now held three bullets."You call this a deadly attack?" Sebastian sneered as he took a step forward.In the next moment, he appeared in front of the gunman, grabbed him by the collar, and slammed him heavily onto the g
"You knew this was a deadly trap, yet you still came alone? Since you already know, why not just kill me? Even if I die, you won't escape, either," the gunman said, his face filled with a touch of malice.Sebastian smiled and shook his head. "Don't you find it strange that your men, who had been hiding, made no move until now?"Also, you're a Grandmaster yourself, so I'm sure you know how far a silver needle can fly, right?"What?The gunman turned around immediately upon hearing Sebastian's words. The second story of the building was dark, and it was strangely quiet. There was also a sniper rifle by the left side of the window.However, nobody was behind it."Y-You killed him? How… How is this possible? When did you notice him?" The gunman couldn't remain calm anymore.The sniper was the most important part of their trap because the bullet they were going to use was a Silver Rush bullet.It could easily penetrate a martial artist's protective energy, which meant that no matt
A dozen young men in suits jumped down from the cars. Then, Whitney and Sebastian were held at dozens of gunpoints."Freeze!" The leading man shouted."Just in time! Are you guys working with the Slaughter Gods as well?" Sebastian asked the men in suits."Nonsense! We are from the Alpha Strike Force! We suspect that you are involved in kidnapping and attempted murder. You'd better cooperate with our investigation!" said the leading man.Alpha Strike Force?Sebastian narrowed his eyes. Most people knew that the Alpha Strike Force never got involved with normal cases unless it was something threatening the country's safety or if any martial artists committed a crime.However, they were here at this specific time. How fishy. Sebastian sneered. "What a desperate man Trevor is to even contact the Alpha Strike Force.""Stop talking. Raise your hands and stand against the wall, or we'll shoot," the leading middle-aged man said as he leaped into the room, pointing a handgun at Sebasti
"Ms. Griffin, there are some things you can't intervene. Even if Mr. Griffin Senior is here, he won't stop the Alpha Strike Force from doing our tasks. Please move out of our way, Ms. Griffin, or else!"Tanner stepped in front of Rosalie."Rosalie, I'm fine. Just wait for me at the store. They will release me by tomorrow morning," Sebastian said calmly."Tomorrow morning? Are you kidding me? Do you know how many people died in your hands? You are a martial arts criminal, which adds to your crime! Just wait and see!" said one of the men beside Sebastian.Sebastian just glanced at the guy and said, "Is the Alpha Strike Force so free nowadays to even patrol in the suburban area? How much did Trevor give you to work for him?"Tanner turned to Sebastian coldly and said, "I suggest you watch your mouth. Slandering the Alpha Strike Force is also an offense! You're already in deep trouble, so you'd better not make things worse!""You're going to create troubles for yourselves soon," Seba
"Bring him away!" Tanner shouted.Sebastian looked at Tanner and sneered, "What a good trap! I wonder who Trevor is to you. At least give me the privilege of knowing this before I die."Tanner chuckled coldly and then showed Sebastian his identification card."Tanner Northman."So, he was from the Northman family.Sebastian chuckled as realization struck him. "It seems the Northman family has great connections. You guys put in a lot of effort to set this trap. But aren't you scared that it might cause your family some trouble if things went south?"Trevor's trap was indeed excellent.He had Whitney kidnapped to lure Sebastian in, then used the death of the three assassins to frame Sebastian. Finally, the Alpha Strike Force stepped in.No matter how capable Sebastian was, he wouldn't have been able to escape this trap.At this point, no matter what Sebastian said, the voice recording alone was already enough to sentence him to death.Sebastian knew whatever he said wouldn't ma
