Cyril struggled to stand up. It was a pity he didn't have as much strength as the foot planted firmly on his back. After struggling a few times, he found himself pressed down hard against the floor once more."Don't struggle. It won't be of any use. If you don't give us a reasonable explanation for what happened today, I'll sentence you on the spot!" Wyatt spoke in an ice-cold, terrifying tone.Cyril broke out in a cold sweat with fear."This is all a misunderstanding! Please listen to me! Sebastian stole cultural relics, and this is a crime that merits death. "Besides, the cultural relics in his possession are national treasures from the early Quorn era! If you don't believe me, you can look at the report on the desk," Cyril hastily explained.Vince finally noticed that there was a photocopied piece of paper placed on the interrogation table. He picked it up and perused it thoroughly. The two colored photos on top were exactly the same as the objects lying on the interrogation t
Sebastian laughed in embarrassment."Take care!" Wyatt patted Sebastian's shoulder heavily.Then, he turned a cold gaze on Cyril as he said, "Young man, I hope you're not planning to settle personal debts here. I'm warning you, you wouldn't want me as your enemy."Cyril almost wet his pants with fear.Wyatt was old, but he had survived countless bloody storms during the war. He had fought his way to this point, and his manner was both righteous and intimidating. Just one look from him was enough to scare a creep like Cyril half to death. "Don't worry, Mr. Holman Senior. Before the higher-ups send someone here, I won't give Sebastian any trouble! I'll let him have his phone back too. "As long as he doesn't escape, I'll guarantee that he'll feel right at home here." As he spoke, Cyril felt his heart twisting painfully. It felt as if he were being stabbed with a hundred knives.Wyatt looked meaningfully at Vince and Larys, and they left the interrogation room, looking resigned.
However, Ryan only wanted the anti-cancer prescription and the shares in Arctic Snow Group. He didn't care about whether Sebastian lived or died."Mr. Jones, I didn't hear you wrongly, did I? Do you really have the power to get me released with no charges? I don't think that even your father would be able to say such a thing!" Sebastian's ruthless retort made Ryan's smile freeze. His lips twitched violently."How was it, Mr. Jones? What did he say?" Trevor looked nervously at Ryan."Ballard, don't be so cocky! If you agree to my requests now, you may still have a chance of surviving! If you won't cooperate, I'll still be able to find a way to get the prescription. You, on the other end, will find yourself in a worse situation," Ryan said through gritted teeth.Sebastian was looking down on Ryan! No one had ever gone against Ryan in his entire life! Who did Sebastian think he was?Ryan had only manipulated a few things and already had Sebastian backed into a corner.Sebastian wa
Blake rushed back to Ventus Estate. When Belinda saw that he had returned alone, she frowned and asked, "Why isn't Mr. Ballard with you?"Blake wiped away the sweat on his brow and said, "Madam Dragon, I made an appointment with Mr. Ballard yesterday and said that I would be there at 2:00 pm to pick him up. However, when I got there, Mr. Ballard's convenience store was closed down.""What?" Belinda's expression changed slightly. She was sure that she had not judged Sebastian wrongly. He wasn't the type of person who wouldn't keep his promises. Had something happened to him?"Madam Dragon, I've asked around, and I heard that Larys and Vince have been put in isolation for interrogation. We can't get to them at all right now.""Mr. Ballard has been taken away by the Steinberg Alpha Strike Force team. As for the reason, please forgive me, I couldn't find out at all. "However, I think that the detainment of Larys and Vince and the sudden interrogation of the two of them must have some
"I must see Sebastian today!" Belinda didn't want to give Clifford any room to maneuver.Clifford pondered Belinda's words and thought about it three times. Wouldn't it be a simple matter for her to see Sebastian?With her status, who would stop her? Who would have the courage to stop her?Clifford immediately understood Belinda's intentions. He said quickly, "I'll get Hugh to rush to Steinberg right now to meet you. I'll be sure to find out everything regarding the incident with Sebastian as well."Belinda hung up abruptly.Clifford put his phone down and exhaled deeply. He quickly instructed his secretary to call an emergency meeting.Hugh had just walked into the conference room when Clifford pointed at him and said, "Hugh, you don't need to attend the meeting today. Go to Steinberg at once, and take this with you. Read it carefully while you're on your way."Clifford gave Hugh an envelope. Hugh took it, turned, and left the conference room thoughtfully."What is going on wi
Meanwhile, Trevor and Ryan had reached Steinberg. Ryan still couldn't get over getting scolded by Sebastian on the phone. Since they were at Steinberg, they decided to visit Steinberg's Alpha Strike Force team. Therefore, they instructed the driver, "Go to the Alpha Strike Force team base! I must make Ballard kneel and grovel to me in apology!"…Sebastian was selectively answering the questions of the two staff members who had come from the state department when the door to the interrogation room opened, and Ryan walked in with Trevor following close behind him."Mr. Jones?" The staff from the state capital's Alpha Strike Force team immediately recognized Ryan. They got up quickly and bowed as they invited Ryan to take a seat."So, he's Sebastian?" Ryan asked after he had sat down. He stared coldly at him."That's right! He stole both these things!" Shawn said, pointing at the items on the table.Ryan looked triumphantly at Sebastian and said, "Ballard, do you remember how coc
At the sound of the woman's voice, the door to the interrogation room opened once more.Cyril had been standing at the side of the room and cursing inwardly. They were treating the interrogation room like a market where they could come and go as they pleased."Oh, Dad, when did you get yourself such a young girlfriend? She's pretty good-looking." Ryan's eyes gleamed as he leered at the middle-aged woman standing behind Hugh.Hugh almost wet his pants with fright. Belinda was the woman who had followed him in.They had arrived right after Ryan entered the interrogation room, but Belinda had gestured for Hugh to stop so that they could listen at the door for a while. With every word that Belinda heard Ryan say, her eyes became progressively colder. When Shawn took out the taser, Belinda finally spoke up in a loud voice to stop him. At the same time, she opened the door of the interrogation room and walked in."Shut up, you disobedient thing!" Hugh's eyes were bulging out of their
"Dad! Have mercy! Stop hitting me and electrocuting me! I was wrong, alright? Why are you beating me up?" Ryan stared at Hugh in fear. "You idiot! Who gave you permission to get up to all this nonsense?" Hugh had a black eye, and he glared ferociously at Ryan.Hugh would rather beat his ungrateful son to death than let him be the cause of the entire Jones family's downfall."Hugh, you can stop acting now," Belinda said coldly.Hugh shuddered in fear. He immediately turned and said to Belinda, "Madam Dragon, please hear me out. I really didn't order him to do these things."Belinda looked coldly into Hugh's eyes. All she saw in them was guilt and cowardice. "Really? How do you explain this, then?" Belinda asked icily as she raised a slender finger and pointed it at Sebastian, who had been strapped into the interrogation chair. Hugh hurriedly explained, "Madam Dragon, you heard everything just now. Sebastian stole cultural relics. This is a severe crime."As he spoke, Hugh loo
Finn took out a bank card and handed it to Shane.There was exactly ten million in the card, which he had prepared beforehand. However, it wasn't for Anthony. He had been planning to send it to Harold.After all, Shane had been implicated in Matthias' case.Finn had been able to bail Shane out because the police didn't have concrete evidence, but if the case remained unresolved, Shane would not be able to leave Sunway even for a day!That was what Finn was most worried about.If they proved that Shane had done it, it wouldn't just be the police who would be after him. The Winters would kick both Finn and Shane out of the family.However, it seemed that there was no need to worry at all. If Sebastian's identity was changing all the time, how could he have any powerful allies? The police would probably close the case very soon. It was why Finn had decided to bet on Anthony. Shane took the bank card happily and rushed out of the house.There were too many rules involved in goin
Shane smiled and said, "Dad, Mr. Stallone called me just now and asked me to go with him to greet Mr. Laing. Don't you think our family should go and welcome him as well?"Finn's gaze swept over Shane, and he asked, "What do you youngsters know? Our family are businessmen. As for Anthony, he's an influential figure in the mystic martial arts sects. From what I've heard, Sebastian isn't easy to deal with, either. Our family shouldn't get mixed up in this."Finn's experience in life told him that it wouldn't be wise to provoke either Sebastian or Anthony. Besides, it was too early to tell who would be the victor among the two of them.What if Sebastian killed Anthony?If the Winters were found to have tried to curry favor with Anthony, they would be dealt with very quickly.When two such powerful forces were fighting, it was best to feign ignorance of the entire thing. Otherwise, it would only bring trouble upon them.Besides, the case with Matthias was still unresolved. If they of
If the Emrys Sect was also looking for the sword, Anthony wouldn't dare to covet it. However, if they were ignoring Maximus, that would be a different story."Oh, my mentor has passed away. I'm just an external apprentice. How could I ask the other seniors in the sect to do anything? I had no choice but to watch as Purity, one of the ten famous swords of the Emrys Sect, fell into Sebastian's hands." The hatred in Maximus' voice intensified as he spoke. He hadn't just lost the sword. His reputation in Sunway had crumbled as well. He hadn't been able to find an ally, but now Anthony was going to come off his mountain to deal with Sebastian. Maximus might now be able to use the opportunity to get back his sword and his dignity."Oh, okay. I'll help you out. What does your sword look like?" Anthony had heard of Purity, but he had never seen the real thing."It's a rare treasure that can be both soft and hard and can be wrapped around one's waist. As far as I know, Sebastian keeps th
"Mr. Laing, why would you need to go personally for such a young man? Despite my inferior skills, I am willing to get his head for you," a middle-aged man stood up and said to Anthony. He was the deputy sect leader of the Caelbane Sect, and he had been an apprentice together with Anthony. If Anthony went personally and made a scene, everyone in the mystic martial arts sects might find out. If he went personally for a young man, wouldn't that imply that there wasn't anyone else in the Caelbane Sect who could go?Anthony smiled impassively and said, "Jacques, you don't understand. Although Titan's death was a pity, I still have other apprentices who are just as skilled as Titan."Anthony had been acting rather strangely at the entrance that day. He didn't usually treat his apprentices that way.He was the kind of person who didn't think that mentor-apprentice relationships were very important.In fact, several of his apprentices were unhappy about that. The pain that he had expr
If Sebastian was too absolute, he would only attract the hatred and revenge of more people. That was why he had killed Titan, but not Tatum. He had to have a reason to kill every time he did so."The mystic sects?" Rose smiled and shook her head as she said, "With skills like yours, who among the mystic sects can do anything to you? There's probably barely anyone.""Do you want me to end up on the run? What will happen to Rosalie and Whitney? What about the Northmans? They will be sure to suffer a bloody revenge as well." Sebastian shook his head, smiling wryly.If he didn't have anything that he was concerned about, he would be fearless. However, the people around him were all ordinary people who barely had any strength. Sebastian could escape, but what about the others?…It was late at night when Tatum finally crawled back to the Caelbane Sect, covered in blood. The apprentice who was standing guard ran in to report to Anthony when he saw the wretched state that Tatum was i
Tatum had turned pale with fright. His shirt became drenched with cold sweat almost instantly."You… did you just kill one of the Caelbane Sect members?" Tatum still couldn't accept it.There was a snap as Sebastian broke both his legs with a single kick instead of wasting time talking to him.There was a thump as Tatum fell heavily to his knees. The impact crushed his kneecaps as well."Aargh!" Tatum screamed in pain like a dying pig."Shut up. If you scream again, I'll cut out your tongue," Sebastian said, looking down at him. Tatum stopped shouting at once and stared up at Sebastian in abject fear.Since he was a child, he had been the one bullying others. This was the first time he had been treated as if he were a lamb being led to the slaughter!"Apologize to the old lady!" Sebastian pointed to the old lady that Titan had slapped. "Sebastian, we're the apprentices of the sect leader of the Caelbane Sect. You want me to apologize to her? Aren't you afraid that the Caelba
Every Warrior treated the Martial Arts Association like a god. Therefore, that would make the Caelbane Sect even higher than a god!"Are you both not right in the head? I don't owe your sect leader money, yet he's trying to ask me for something? Even beggars aren't this desperate!" Sebastian looked at Titan and Tatum as if they were idiots. "We're not beggars, damn it! I'm telling you, cut both your hands off right now and let us take them. Otherwise, we'll take your life!" Tatum yelled, pointing at Sebastian."What the hell are you looking at? Are you sick of living?" Titan slapped a passing old lady.The old lady had been planning to buy some house protection charms from Sebastian, but Titan slapped her so hard that she fell to the ground, blood trickling out of the corner of her mouth.Titan didn't even look twice at the old lady. He felt that anyone who even glanced their way twice when the Caelbane Sect was conducting their business deserved to die!Slapping her was already
Wensleydale had been overly enthusiastic with them. Not only had he been extremely hospitable, he had even arranged for several young and beautiful women to cater to them.When one went overboard, it would make everything seem insincere.Titan couldn't for the life of him think of any benefit that he could offer Wensleydale. The old man already had one foot in the grave, and the Caelbane Sect would never accept someone of his age. The more he thought about it, the more Titan felt that what Tatum had said made sense."Forget about him. Let's go to Steinberg ourselves tomorrow morning," he said, his eyes narrowing.Even if Wensleydale had tipped Sebastian off, where could the latter escape to in just a single day?He could run, but he couldn't hide. Sebastian also owned the Arctic Snow Group in Steinberg, which was a massive corporation.Besides, according to reliable news from Ethan, Sebastian's ex-wife was also the CEO of Frostwave Corporation. He couldn't possibly pack up all
Sebastian laughed and said nothing. He rubbed the brand new copper coin in his pocket with one hand.Only Lyanna would be capable of doing something like that. The illusion had been cast by her.Without her help, Sebastian would probably be in huge trouble. No matter whether or not he was in the right, there should have been severe consequences for slaughtering more than 100 elite members of the Martial Arts Association.Lyanna had even made the souls of those people her food. It was terrifyingly cruel. "Everything's alright now, everyone. It seems that Mr. Flumen repented after realizing how terrible his crimes were and killed himself," Sebastian said politely, smiling as if nothing had happened."Maybe your character and charisma convinced them, Mr. Ballard." Hans didn't know what to say.Zane swallowed and laughed as he said to Sebastian, "Mr. Ballard, you really… you really are… amazing.""Since you're all here, don't be in such a rush to leave. I'll treat you all to a meal
