At that moment, Dante and Crystal came out of the two-story building, supporting Whitney as she walked. She looked very weak. "Sebastian!" Whitney looked up and caught sight of Sebastian strangling Tanner with one hand. Her eyes misted over at once. "Why? Why would you do this to me?"If you wanted the formula of the Iceheart facial mask, you could have just told me! If you wanted it, you could have taken it at any time! But… Why did you have to lie to me?" Tears trickled out of her eyes.That night, she had received a call from an unfamiliar number, but it had been Sebastian's voice on the other end.At that moment, Whitney felt as if she had seen the final ray of hope in getting back together with him. Therefore, she hadn't even thought twice before going to the place where "Sebastian" had arranged to meet her. However, the person waiting for her wasn't a tender-eyed Sebastian who wanted to start over. It had been a stranger in a baseball cap who had a rather hoarse voice.
Sebastian huffed and released his grip on Tanner's throat.Tanner finally breathed a sigh of relief as he felt the pressure disappear from around his neck. After panting heavily, he looked up and smiled ingratiatingly at Sebastian.Just when everyone thought that Tanner had submitted to Sebastian, he suddenly reached for the gun around his waist and fired three shots consecutively. "Die!"The sound of gunshots tore through the quiet night air, and the bullets headed straight for Sebastian's chest!They were only a few feet apart, and the bullets would land in Sebastian's chest almost instantly. However, something unbelievable happened!Sebastian raised his hand gently, and the three bullets stopped and hung in midair like a scene from the Matrix. What? Tanner wasn't the only one struck dumb with fear. The men in suits behind him were completely flabbergasted.Before they could recover, Sebastian reached out and grabbed the three bullets that had been suspended in midair. He s
Between staying alive and maintaining his dignity, Tanner chose the former without a second thought.It was important to maintain one's dignity, but one only had one life."I thought that you weren't afraid of death, Captain Northman. However, I hope that this is the first and last time. Otherwise, you won't be so lucky next time." Sebastian laughed coldly as he slowly lifted his foot.Tanner felt the pressure on his back disappear, and the feeling of pain disappeared as well. However, he was still sweating profusely in fear..As the captain of the Alpha Strike Force special ops team, it was the first time that he had been so close to death.At that moment, Tanner felt that his life was as insignificant as a piece of duckweed and that it could be ended at any time.That sensation caused him to feel a deep-rooted terror, but it also caused him to feel an utter hatred for Sebastian. Sebastian had spared his life in the end, but he had also humiliated Tanner in front of his entire
Half an hour later, Sebastian was brought to the Steinberg Alpha Strike Force team base.The base was surrounded by sentries, and numerous people patrolled back and forth on a wall several feet high.There were countless searchlight rays whose beams shone for miles around them. A few ordinary Jeeps drove into the base and headed straight for the interrogation building in the backyard. Before long, Sebastian was taken into an interrogation room that was around 100 square feet in size.Two men in suits uncuffed Sebastian. They pointed to a metal chair beside them and said, "Mr. Ballard, we'll have to trouble you to sit down for a while on that chair."Sebastian's gaze swept over the chair, which was made of welded steel bars, and he sat down on it calmly.The moment Sebastian sat down, he triggered a mechanism, and several iron bars about hands-width in size immediately held him in place on the chair.Seeing that Sebastian had been restrained, the smiles on the faces of the men i
"These tricks for deceiving children are no use against me. I don't mind telling you that the reason I was bold enough to come here with you is because I don't think anything of you at all," Sebastian said. "You'd better not try any tricks with me. Otherwise, there's no telling who will end up suffering," Sebastian continued in a low voice with his eyes still closed."Is that so? I guess that you won't know what you're dealing with unless we let you suffer a little today!"One of the suited men picked up a hollow steel stick and tried to hit Sebastian's shoulder.Sebastian calmly lifted a leg and kicked the man's abdomen. The man was sent flying several feet away, and he fell heavily onto the floor.As dust and smoke rose up around them, some of the suited men surrounding Sebastian pulled out their guns and pointed them at him! "Don't move! If you move, we'll shoot!" Although Sebastian had blocked the three bullets, he was now being restrained on the metal chair. No matter how
"Tanner, why don't we make a bet? I'll be able to leave this place safely within two hours at most. Do you believe that?" Sebastian said, smiling as he looked up at the clock on the wall opposite him.As soon as he finished talking, everyone, including Tanner, burst into laughter."You're still thinking of leaving this place alive? You should ask around to see how many people have left the interrogation room of the Alpha Strike Force while still being able to stand!" Tanner brandished the scimitar he was holding and slashed at Sebastian's forehead.Sebastian lifted his head calmly, and the scimitar practically grazed the tip of his nose as it went whistling past. At the same time, he landed a kick on Tanner's knee.There was a crack and the sound of bone breaking. Tanner yelled in pain and fell to one knee in front of Sebastian.Blood dripped out of Tanner's pants leg, and his features were contorted with pain. "Ballard, how dare you act so recklessly here with the Alpha Strike Fo
Anyone else would've been knocked out by the electricity in an instant.However, Sebastian didn't even let out so much as a whimper. All he did was stare coldly at Tanner."Huh? You're fine, are you?" Tanner stood with his hands behind his back and sneered as he looked at Sebastian. He said to the two suited men, "Let him really enjoy it this time!"The two men pulled the switch once more.This time, they let it continue for almost 20 seconds. When Tanner saw the blue electrical glow travel all over Sebastian's body, there was a look of triumph in his eyes as he felt the satisfaction of getting revenge!He knew better than anyone that the current was affecting Sebastian, and that Sebastian was clenching his teeth in order to endure it!No matter how formidable Sebastian's training was, he was still flesh and blood. Before long, he would experience heart failure and die!No one could blame Tanner for that. It was Sebastian who had failed to recognize what was good for him and had
"You…" Tanner hadn't expected Sebastian to read his mind. He felt as if there was no turning back at this point.Tanner wasn't really to blame for all this.After all, he wasn't part of the main branch of the Northman family, and he was a negligible presence amongst them. If he really did cause trouble, the Northmans would be sure to make him the scapegoat.If it came to that, he would not only have ruined his future, but he would even be in danger of losing his life.Therefore, Tanner had thought of the safest solution—finding out where Sebastian's formula had come from and getting rid of him legally. At the same time, the source of the formula could become a resource that would allow Tanner to elevate his status in the Northman family.He just hadn't imagined that Sebastian could see right through him so easily."I don't understand what you're saying at all. Don't forget, you were the one who killed those three people! Shall I show you the video?" Tanner sneered and pulled ou
