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
Blake assented and walked over quickly to Shawn. "Sorry, man."He punched Shawn in the ribs. There was a cracking sound, and two of Shawn's ribs snapped. "How dare you hit me!" Shawn was finding it hard to endure the pain. He clutched his stomach and crouched down, but it wasn't over yet.Blake laughed coldly and pressed on Shawn's shoulder with one hand. He exerted force through his palm, and with another sharp snap, Shawn's shoulder blade broke as well."Aargh! Hey, mister! Mister! I… I'm part of the state capital's Alpha Strike Force team! A-aren't you afraid that the Alpha Strike Force team will look into this?" Shawn immediately pulled out his ID badge. He could no longer lift his other arm."Yes, I know that you're part of the Alpha Strike Force team." Blake nodded heavily and kicked Shawn's kneecap. There was another snap, and Shawn fell to his knees.His right kneecap had been shattered by Blake, and he could only kneel as he looked at Blake in terror.Shawn didn't unde
Ryan was the heir of the Jones family! How could he kneel to a loser like Sebastian?"I told you to kneel, damn it!" Hugh had just raised his fist when Blake grabbed his wrist."Mr. Jones, Mr. Ballard is an esteemed guest of Madam Dragon. If you disrespect him, you're disrespecting Madam Dragon. Therefore, let me do it!"Ryan jumped in fright and scurried off to a corner of the room. He stared nervously at Blake and said, "What are you going to do? Assault is against the law!"He wished he had supernatural powers. It didn't have to be anything great. He just had to be able to go through the cement wall behind him.However, he had no such power, and Blake was grinning as he walked toward him. He grabbed Ryan by the collar and dragged him over to Sebastian as if he was a dead dog. Blake kicked him in the calf, and with a snap, his bone broke. Before Ryan could yell in pain, Blake smiled and said, "You'd better not scream, Mr. Jones. Otherwise, your shoulder will break too. You kno
