"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
"You—""Don't move! If you move again, you'll die!" Sebastian stepped on the chest of one of the men while turning an icy gaze on another.Both of them immediately felt a cold, murderous energy blasting at them, especially the one Sebastian's gaze was fixed on. The man froze, feeling as if he had seen the Grim Reaper. The look in Sebastian's eyes was terrifying and made him feel as if his life was about to end.In just a moment, both Grandmaster-level experts had been overpowered by Sebastian, and the rest of the men in suits were sweating with fear. They backed away several paces, pulled out their guns, and aimed them at Sebastian."Sebastian, how dare you attack the Alpha Strike Force? Resisting against the law with violence is going to make you doubly guilty!" Tanner was shocked. He had caught all kinds of people over the years, and none of them had been bold enough to resist the Alpha Strike Force.Sebastian was different. Not only had he resisted capture, he had even attack
Tanner was the captain of the Alpha Strike Force special ops team. He had never been strangled and threatened before.In addition to that, Sebastian knocked out two team members who were Grandmasters. This was probably the most humiliating defeat the Alpha Strike Force team had suffered over so many years.He swore to himself that when they got to the Alpha Strike Force team base, he would use all their instruments of torture on Sebastian.Sebastian slapped Tanner.Tanner felt as if he had been hit by a slab of metal. Half of his face went numb at once. He was only prevented from falling to the ground because Sebastian was holding him by the neck."How dare you threaten me?" Sebastian stared icily at Tanner, who had blood trickling out of the corner of his mouth.Tanner had been struck dumb by the slap. He stared dazedly at Sebastian for a while before getting angry and saying, "How dare you hit me? No one can save someone who attacks the captain of the Alpha Strike Force team, n
Raphael felt that he was already showing Sebastian respect by giving him 5,000 dollars. If it had been anyone else, he wouldn't even have given him 50 cents, let alone 5,000 dollars!Even if he didn't pay a single penny, the mention of the name Demongate should have been enough to make Sebastian hand the Soulbell over to him."Mr. Fonda, you—""Mr. Ballard, as well as everyone here, I hope that you can understand something," Raphael cut Blake off. "The Soulbell has always belonged to Demongate. No matter how Mr. Ballard got it or whom he got it from, he should return it to its rightful owner unconditionally and present it to Demongate."I came personally and even gave Mr. Ballard a tidy sum of money for his hard work. I've done more than I needed to."Raphael clasped his hands behind his back and looked slightly contemptuous as he continued. "I don't just represent myself. I represent all of Demongate."He was clearly threatening them."Are you threatening me?" Sebastian laughed
Sebastian frowned, and he looked icily at Raphael. It had only been two short days since he had killed Terence. How had Raphael gotten the news?"You have a very efficient news network, Mr. Fonda. May I ask how you know that I have the Soulbell?" he asked, his eyes narrowing coldly at Raphael."In this world, you shouldn't do things you don't want people to know about," Raphael said, smiling contemptuously. He clasped his hands behind his back.Raphael was acting as if Sebastian had stolen Demongate's sacred vessel, and he was here to accuse him of doing it. "Mr. Ballard, there are rules in society, and the mystic martial arts sects have their own principles. As for who told me this news, it's not convenient for me to say. I came here today mainly to ask you to give the Soulbell back." Raphael made his intention clear. He clearly had no qualms about doing so.However, Blake frowned as soon as he heard him.According to the rules of the mystic martial arts sects, vessels like the
"It's a good thing I was here tonight. You may not be so lucky next time," Lyanna said. She got up to leave, but Rosalie rose hurriedly and called after her, "Wait!""Is there anything else?" Lyanna turned her head slightly and fixed her beautiful eyes on Rosalie."What kind of person is Sebastian? I mean…" After Lyanna had told her who she was, Rosalie felt as if her thoughts were in turmoil. Even Sebastian, whom she had always loved and admired, had suddenly become unfamiliar to her.If Sebastian had just been a traditional medicine doctor, she could have accepted it. However, now Sebastian was keeping a female spirit around him. Not only that, the spirit was his servant. This was beyond the scope of Rosalie's understanding. Sebastian was rapidly becoming like a riddle to her."Have you heard of sages? Mr. Ballard is probably like them," Lyanna said. In a flash, she had disappeared without a trace.Rosalie remained quiet for a long time before she started the engine once mor
The short, fat man who had smashed up Rosalie's car window tossed his rock aside and hurried over. His eyes were bulging as he looked greedily at the beautiful woman standing in front of them. She was just as pretty as Rosalie was."Boss, I deserve some credit for the work I've done, don't I? Can you give me this chick?" the short, fat man asked, rubbing his hands together as he licked his lips.Lyanna looked at Chet and the short, fat man. She covered her mouth and giggled as she said, "I don't know what kind of day it is, but I do know that next year, this will be your death anniversary! Which of you wants to die first?""I… Huh?" Chet had been about to lunge forward and grab Lyanna, but then he realized what she had said.It would be their death anniversary on this day next year? What did that mean?Before he could recover his senses, Lyanna tittered and nodded. "Alright, you'll die first."She flicked her sleeve aside and revealed her slender, pale hands. Her foot-long, brigh
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
