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
"Do you know the offense of obstructing the Alpha Strike Force?" Tanner asked as he stared at Janet."I don't care. Touch my lady and I will fight!" Janet said with a hint of fear.If it was just some ordinary security personnel, Janet wouldn't be so anxious. After all, Mike's connection was extensive. But facing the Alpha Strike Force, even she felt a twinge of unease."Such audacity! Let's see how desperate you are. Get her!" Tanner barked, waving his hand to the dozen or so men in suits behind him.Two of the suited men stepped forward, reaching for Rosalie's arms. Seeing this, Janet swiftly drew a knife from her waist."What are you doing?"Seeing the shiny knife in Janet's hand, the two Alpha Strike Force members took a step back and reached for their own weapons."If anyone dares to come near, I… I'll kill myself! Even if the Alpha Strike Force forces someone to death, they have to bear responsibility too!" Janet declared, pressing the knife against her own throat.The tw
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
The dark shadow stretched out a large hand toward Nina. It appeared to be planning on tearing off her clothes. "Die?" Nina burst into laughter. How dare a ghost who was only around 300 years old talk to her about dying? As the smile stiffened on Nina's face, she bared her teeth, revealing fangs. Her scarlet eyes looked up impassively at the dark shadow above her head. "Aargh!" When the gigantic, dark shadow saw Nina's true form, it turned to try and escape, but it was too close to her that it was impossible for it to do so.It had only taken one step backward before Nina reached out and yanked it back."Have mercy, my lady!" The giant shadow disappeared and became a dark and scrawny-looking ghost that was less than five feet tall. "How dare you disrupt my dreams? You deserve to disintegrate into nothing!"Nina raised her hand and pressed down on top of the dark and scrawny ghost's head. "No!"The dark and scrawny ghost fell to its knees with a thump before Nina and sa
The Sacred Medicine Secret Annals also contained mystic spells from the Demon Sect. However, it was clearly written that those who practiced them would suffer divine punishment if they were to excel in it!Those were very heavy words indeed. How evil did those spells have to be if they would bring down divine punishment on those who excelled in practicing them?"Hmph! Stop trying to act as if you're smart in front of me. Have you ever seen such amazing spells? Believe it or not, I can kill your entire family with a click of my fingers?"There was a sinister tinge to Egbert's smile. With ordinary people, Egbert would only have to send out a thought to kill the entire family of his opponent instantly.However, Sebastian was being very dismissive of him. Evil spells like those required the supernatural spirit behind Egbert to sense the opponent's energy, after which they would use the same energy to find their family members.The process wasn't as mysterious as Egbert made it out
Those deceptive tricks appeared impressive, but those who Egbert healed would only end up in an even worse state, suffering even more."I haven't committed any crimes. How can I accept my punishment?" Sebastian asked disinterestedly.Brayden sneered. "You're not the one who decides whether you've committed a crime or not. Come! Subdue this defiant man!"Subdue Sebastian? Who would dare to do such a thing?The law enforcement hall members exchanged looks.Upon seeing this, Egbert stepped forward and said arrogantly, "Young man, you've seen what I can do. Compared to me, you martial arts practitioners aren't worthy of mention at all. I'll be lenient on you because you're young and ignorant. Just give up and come quietly!"Egbert was different from ordinary deacons in the Martial Arts Court. He had been hired specially as a mystic spells expert.When compared with mystic spells or cultivation, so-called martial arts weren't worthy of mention at all.That was because all mystic spe
Brayden sneered. "Kill you and cover this up? You overestimate yourselves. This is an act of protecting officials!" The bare fact of the matter was that they were going to kill everyone who knew about the Berkeleys' depraved acts. Once they had done so, the Berkeleys' perfect image would be restored. "Do you think that it's reasonable and lawful for Kayden to act the way he does?" Sebastian asked in a cold, accusing voice. "There's no helping it. Those in power must have some privileges. That's an accepted fact in the world. It's your fault for not being part of this class of people. If you're going to blame anyone, blame yourselves for being born in the wrong family!" Brayden said smugly as he shot Egbert Galen a glance. Egbert strode over to Kayden and crouched down to inspect his injuries. He tapped him with a finger. "Aargh!" The pain made huge beads of sweat drip down Kayden's face."Alright. You can stand up and take a few steps, Mr. Kayden!" Egbert said, putting his
"Oh?" Brayden glanced twice at Sebastian before asking, "What crime has Mr. Kayden committed? Tell me!" Sebastian couldn't be bothered to argue with him and just played the phone recording. The two old men frowned involuntarily when they finished listening to it."You're Inspector Jefferson, aren't you? I'd like to ask you how anyone could want to sleep with a bride at a wedding banquet in front of thousands of guests. Is he an animal? Don't the Berkeleys do this sort of thing in private?"Does this mean that when someone in the Berkeley family gets married, any of the guests or even a mere passerby can have their way with the bride in front of all their friends and family?"Javier turned red, then pale as he listened. He pointed at Sebastian and cursed him loudly. "You bastard! Stop talking nonsense!""Inspector Jefferson, since you admire Mr. Kayden's genes so much, why don't you let him improve your family's gene pool as well? You should especially let Mr. Kayden help out wi
Two black-clad men came up to the car door and opened it for Brayden, who then got out of the car. As he alighted, two elderly men also got out of the black car behind him. They came up beside Brayden and said, "Inspector Jefferson!" Brayden clasped his hands behind his back and nodded as he said, "Mr. Galen, Mr. Irving. Come and get rid of this nuisance with me today. Remember, we must not show any mercy!" The two old men nodded slightly and said, "We'll do as you say, Inspector Jefferson!"Brayden nodded slightly and said to Jayden, "Lead the way!" Jayden hastily gestured for them to go ahead. He led them happily into the Aequor.He had fled the hotel just a while ago, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to have transformed into a different person. He walked into the hotel with his chest puffed up, and his entire demeanor had changed. The attendants on the first floor looked at him in surprise. "Did that handsome young guy go and get himself an invigorating shot of so
