Chapter 940

Author: Wendell Mayhew
There was the sound of two crisp slaps, and the entire hall fell silent at once.

Slapping the employees of the Holmes family was tantamount to slapping the Holmeses themselves!

People like Colin always placed more importance on their pride than anything else. He wouldn't let it go easily.

The manager, who had been behaving so obsequiously to Jayden, immediately ran up to the VIP area on the second floor. He told Colin about what had happened.

There was a crash as the sound of a teacup smashing came from the second floor.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Lucox. This is an embarrassment. I'll go and settle a few things, and I'll be right back," Colin said, standing up.

"Please go ahead, Mr. Holmes," Cecilia said, smiling.

With Cecilia's permission, Colin pushed the door open and went out, his expression extremely icy.

Troops of security guards in black uniforms rushed into the hall, holding rubber truncheons. They surrounded the entire hall.

Jayden finally realized that he had made a grave mista

    After Jayden left, Zane felt much better. He was also delighted to hear Colin remind Jayden about the bet.Zane hadn't expected to have gained so many things that day. Not only had he won the bet, but he had also cracked open an AAA quality emerald and gotten two antiques. His luck really seemed to have improved, and it was all thanks to Sebastian.For the remainder of the auction, Zane listened to Sebastian's advice and did not raise his sign again. He had already gotten the biggest AAA quality emerald that day, and he was content with what he had gained.Sebastian knew very well that being greedy could result in a rebound of their luck.When he and Zane got into their car, a pair of frosty eyes stared intently at them, but they didn't notice."Mr. Ballard, let me take you home," Zane offered respectfully.Sebastian shook his head slightly and pointed to the painting of "The King's Son". "No, you can't keep that painting overnight. Do you think you'd be able to keep it safe?"Z

    "So what if you saw through me? Do you have any other choice?" The driver finally removed his broad-brimmed hat, revealing a ferocious, terrifying face.There was a long knife scar on his face that cut across from his left eyebrow to his right ear, and there was no light in his ice-cold eyes, making him look sinister and frightening."Who are you? Where's Bill?" Zane panicked at once. He wanted to escape, but he could not. Seven or eight burly men had come up to surround the car. Even if Zane jumped out of it, he would be caught by the men."My name is Dustin Moore!" Dustin said calmly."Let's negotiate, shall we, Mr. Moore?" Sebastian said impassively."Negotiate?" Dustin scoffed and shook his head slightly. He said, "You aren't worthy of negotiating with me!""How can you be so sure?" Sebastian's smile disappeared gradually."What do you think?" Dustin smirked and pulled out a gun. He twisted the silencer very calmly.Sebastian sighed wryly and said, "There are always peopl

    Alistair clenched his teeth and took a deep breath. Perhaps he had sensed that the extent of Sebastian's powers was hard to gauge, which was why he was not in any hurry to attack."I hope that we can resolve this peacefully. If we have to fight, both of us will end up hurt," Alistair said coolly."I'm talking about evidence. If you can prove that it belongs to you, I can return it to you! Otherwise, I don't mind making a move," Sebastian said, smirking.Alistair closed his eyes. It was as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he wrote a word out on his palm and raised it slowly. When Sebastian saw what was written, he couldn't help being startled.Alistair had written an extremely strange-looking word. The way in which he had written it was very unique. It wasn't a modern script. It was the word "bane" from the early Quorn era. That type of script had disappeared from Crestborne for more than a thousand years. Even archaeologists no longer knew how to write it

    Alistair managed to dodge over ten moves, but in the end, a bolt of intense energy hit him straight in the chest. It sent him flying backward.He spat out a mouthful of blood from the impact of the intense energy. After rolling on the ground, he got up as quickly as he could.However, he was still half a step too slow. Another bolt of intense energy hit him in his stomach. Alistair was flung into the air once again like a broken kite.At the same time, Sebastian attacked. He shot toward Alistair and released three silver needles. The silver needles plunged into several meridian points on Alistair's body. He fell to the ground and couldn't move any longer.Sebastian waved quickly at the dark shadow while he took out his Ovalia Token; a strong suction force pulled the shadow back into the Ovalia Token once more."What position do you have in the Fate Sect? How do you know about the Mirror of Rain?" Sebastian bent down and looked at Alistair, smiling. Alistair's gaze seemed rathe

    "He has amnesia! Every two weeks, he'll lose his memories for three days! As for who he is, I have no idea! I'm nobody in the Dragon Sect. Please, have mercy!" Alistair breathed a sigh of relief when Sebastian pulled out the silver needles. Sebastian held the needles, frowning deeply.The Dragon Sect was outside the jurisdiction of the Nine Orders, Eighteen Principles and Thirty-Six Sects. It had existed for over 100 years.The organization was very mysterious, and about 20 years ago, the Nine Orders, Eighteen Principles and Thirty-Six Sects had joined forces against it. After that, the Dragon Sect had been driven abroad. As for the esteemed guest that Alistair had mentioned, it was very likely to be a powerful foreign organization. Perhaps the Dragon Sect wanted to use them to return to Dramon.Sebastian asked Alistair, "Apart from this, what else has the Dragon Sect been doing lately?"Alistair shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know either. All I know is that there h

    "Shall we go for a walk, Sebastian?" Larys asked, beaming. He had even changed his form of address to Sebastian.Sebastian nodded slightly and said, "Since you've come personally, Mr. Compton, it would be remiss of me not to accept."Since Sebastian had agreed, Blake stood up and said, "Thank you for your time, Mr. Ballard."Sebastian gave Rosalie and Janet a few instructions before walking outside with Larys.When they got into the car, Larys asked in confusion, "Mr. Ballard, why have you and the Northman heir been getting so close recently?"Sebastian smiled slightly and told Larys about the events that had transpired at the auction. However, he omitted any mention of the Dragon Sect.When Larys heard that Sebastian had been ambushed by Dustin and the others, he said in an ingratiating tone, "Sebastian, the Northmans are a prestigious family in Sunway, but they have numerous enemies. "I advise you not to get too close to them in matters outside of business. Otherwise, you may

    At that moment, a kind-looking old man walked out of the entrance to a loft. Despite how old he was, there was a strong gleam in his eyes and a faint trace of energy unique to those in the most advanced Celestial stage. He looked very formidable.When Blake saw him, he hastily bowed. "Mr. Chesterton!" Derek Chesterton frowned as he looked at Blake. He asked, "Blake? What took you so long?""Mr. Chesterton, we ran into some difficulties on the road, so we were delayed. Is Madam Dragon in?" Blake didn't go straight into the loft. He stopped outside the door."Madam Dragon is very anxious, and she's been waiting for a long time. I was just about to go out to meet you. Come with me." Derek's gaze rested on Sebastian for a few seconds before he strode into the loft."After you, Mr. Ballard," Blake said, gesturing at Sebastian to go first.When they walked into the main living room, a young woman was leaning back on a soft, plush chair in the center of the room. A heavy scent was comi

    After a while, a maid carried a tea table over to Sebastian and began to make tea for him. The tea leaves that she used were the ones that Sebastian had liked the most after tasting them.The Lucoxes were one of the Eight Great Families, and it was evident in their every action. Even having tea was such a complicated process. Wouldn't it have been easier just to ask Sebastian what kind of tea he liked?After about ten minutes, Lilian brought a young woman into the living room. She was wearing a white dress.The young woman was as beautiful as a fairy. She had eyes that shone luminously like the moon, and straight, white teeth. Her rosy lips pressed gently together under her perfect nose. However, she was rather pale.She looked almost identical to Cecilia, the young woman who had been at the auction. The only difference was that she seemed more frail."Elara, say hello to Mr. Ballard."The young woman nodded at Belinda and turned to Sebastian. She bowed slightly and said, "Hell

    The men Yutaria was sending this time were probably all going to their deaths."Even so, we should help the Warrior League. If we can wipe out the Yutarian experts in the outer borders, it will also make them fear and respect Dramon."Sebastian's goal was simple. He wanted to do his best to prevent the Yutarian experts from setting foot in the three divine mountains.While it was true that no one knew what secrets the three divine mountains held, it would be a calamity for Dramon if a Yutarian Warrior got lucky and uncovered them."You're right to be concerned, my lord," Lyanna said calmly. "We can discuss it with the Warrior League once the martial arts battle is over."In her current state, she couldn't help the Warrior League. Unless her level of skill increased and she became a true king of spirits, it would be disastrous for her if she entered the divine mountains and stumbled into the formations set up by the ancient refiners.Sebastian understood Lyanna's concerns and nodd

    The moment Sebastian and Lyanna arrived at the clearing, she shot toward Sebastian like a bolt of lightning.Sebastian used his Wind Phantom move to face her.A series of blasts erupted between them, and waves of energy burst forth. Even Nina felt the energy roiling inside her.In the blink of an eye, Sebastian and Lyanna had already exchanged hundreds of blows.Suddenly, Lyanna retreated to a spot more than 20 feet away and stared at Sebastian in surprise. "How could you have such a strong force of energy?" she asked in disbelief.Back then, even Otto hadn't dared to face her attacks head-on. But Sebastian had managed to withstand hundreds of them. What was more, the energy inside his body hadn't weakened in the slightest. In fact, it actually seemed to have gotten stronger.The more they fought, the stronger he became. Lyanna knew exactly what level Sebastian had been at before. He was a Cultivator in the Eldoria realm, so how could he have produced such a terrifyingly ex

    "Sebastian will be okay, won't he?" Whitney asked, glancing worriedly in the direction of the backyard. Rose shook her head slightly. "Those two often have friendly sparring with Mr. Ballard. You don't need to worry."Whitney felt a little more at ease after hearing that. Rosalie, on the other hand, wasn't worried at all. Sebastian was Nina and Lyanna's master, so they would never actually hurt him.Turning to Whitney, she said, "Ms. Sutton, let's go back inside and continue our discussion about the expansion of the pharmaceutical factory."Whitney hesitated for a moment before nodding. "Okay."…When Sebastian and the others reached the grove, Nina suddenly leaped into the air, aiming a kick at Sebastian's chest.At the speed that Nina was going, Sebastian wouldn't have had time to react to her sudden attack in the past. But now, he seemed to sense Nina making her move in advance. Taking one step back, he raised his arm and lightly blocked her.Although Sebastian felt he

    Blake commanded a few Warrior League apprentices to load the Medcroft Cauldron into the car before gesturing politely to Sebastian. "After you, Mr. Ballard."Sebastian said goodbye to Belinda before getting in. Afterward, he handed Blake a bottle of Gold Remedy. "How are your injuries?"Blake shook his head. "I'm fine. However, you need to be careful after getting back, Mr. Ballard. I'm afraid that the Yutarian Warriors aren't going to let things go so easily."Sebastian hadn't been well-known before, but after what happened in the arena, his name had spread fast. "Don't worry. Let them come if they want to," Sebastian said, smiling slightly.…When Sebastian carried the Medcroft Cauldron into the convenience store, Nina and Lyanna both turned to look at him."There's something strange about this cauldron," Lyanna said, frowning. She could sense a frightening tendril of energy from it. It was an ancient, powerful object that was very mysterious, and it clashed with her ghostl

    The Yutarians would be very likely to try and penetrate the three divine mountains to find the Reincarnation Pill if they were unable to find anything in other places.The Warriors that had been sent to Steinberg were probably only a distraction.Steinberg was just a small city, after all, and Sartvale was just a small state in Dramon that didn't have many legends in its history.The three divine mountains were different. Every single mountainous region contained countless legends and stories.The Medcroft had been named as the place where the Way of Wisdom had originated.Norlyn was named the home of deities.Meanwhile, Caela was called the gate to paradise. Even in the present day, there had been no one who had managed to explore the three divine mountains thoroughly. No one could reveal the secrets of those three divine mountains either."Madam Dragon, do you mean that we should delay them or destroy them here in Steinberg while we also send someone to keep an eye on the th

    The losses they had suffered that night were too severe. More importantly, they had offended Jorvahn.Giovanni felt that there had been nothing wrong with his plan. The only mistake they had made was in allowing Saul to escape, which resulted in the entire thing getting exposed."Mr. Conti!" Luigi's voice came from the doorway as Giovanni was wiping down the blade."Please come in, Mr. Coppola," Giovanni said as he continued to wipe down the Yutarian saber.The door was pushed open, and Luigi walked into the room. When he saw that Giovanni was actually wiping down his Yutarian saber, his eyes widened."Mr. Conti, are you…"Giovanni smiled bitterly and said, "It's what our superiors want. I'm sure that someone will come and take over for me tomorrow morning."He sighed deeply.Luigi hastily pressed Giovanni's hand and said, "Mr. Conti, this has nothing to do with you. This is all due to my negligence."Giovanni shook his head slightly and said, "That is no longer important. How

    Belinda nodded slightly and said, "Hold grand funerals for those who are dead and take care of their families.""Yes, Madam," Blake replied. He looked stern as he waved at the Warrior League apprentices. They all quickly picked up the corpses of the Warrior League apprentices on the ground and carried them into the cars.Someone took out gasoline and poured it over the assassins.Sebastian lit a cigarette and took a few drags. He then flung it at the pile of corpses.As flames roared into the air, Blake said coldly, "Get into the cars and let's go!"The procession of cars began driving toward Ventus Estate. …After Luigi had managed to escape, he stopped a few miles away. The assassins who had followed him slowly gathered together.After counting the people present, Luigi couldn't help sighing heavily. Out of over 300 assassins, almost half of them were dead. How was he going to explain this to Giovanni?"Warrior League!" Luigi clenched his fists viciously."Mr. Coppola, m

    Blake was shocked to see that the apprentice had been killed right in front of his eyes. He waved quickly to his right and left.There was the sound of doors opening and closing as over 200 Warrior League apprentices jumped out of the cars.The rustling sound in the woods could be heard from either side of them."The assassins have caught up!" Saul said nervously.Although he was very confident in Sebastian's skills, he was still only one person. The Warrior League had more people, but the assassins were in the shadows. It was a disadvantageous situation for the Warrior League.There was a sharp whistling noise as countless throwing spikes shot out of the woods. Several Warrior League apprentices fell to the ground."Turn off the car headlights!" Sebastian shouted at the Warrior League members.All the car headlights were turned off at once, and it became pitch-black. Sebastian opened the car door softly and leaped into the woods. There was the crunch of bones breaking, and

    "They're afraid that the Juwanian King Jorvahn will lead a force to Dramon and affect their plans. That's why they wanted to kill everyone. Their goal is to find the Reincarnation Pill in Dramon," Belinda said as she analyzed the situation.Sebastian frowned, deep in thought. Soon, he nodded in agreement.That was the only explanation that made sense.Otherwise, there was really no reason for the Yutarian Warriors to slaughter all the Yvantonian Warriors when there was no grudge between them."They killed all of my people. As long as you keep me safe, I'll tell King Jorvahn about everything that happened here. I can guarantee that King Jorvahn will destroy all of them, and he won't hold you responsible," Saul said urgently to Sebastian and Belinda. Sebastian and the Warrior League were Saul's last hope. They were still more than ten miles away from the city, and it would be impossible for him to flee there if he had to run. Besides, the enemy would be sure to chase after him if
