Lysander trembled involuntarily as he lowered his head. He did not dare to look into Sebastian's eyes. He had never even dreamed that Sebastian would be so aggressive, especially as he looked so docile.Lysander couldn't believe that he had tried to oppose someone as formidable as Sebastian! He had almost caused a huge mess for him just now!Now, all Lysander felt was terror.The three gunmen had fallen beside him, and their wrists were still bleeding.Sebastian's ruthlessness made Lysander suspect that he would have no qualms about committing murder."Your foolishness almost killed everyone here. Don't you think that you deserve to die?" Sebastian looked icily at Lysander."No, no! I didn't know they had guns! Please, don't kill me." Lysander wept as he knelt in front of Sebastian.The crotch of his pants was becoming visibly wetter. He had been so scared of Sebastian's accusing glare that he had wet himself.A few security guards, including Bradley, looked contemptuously at L
Sebastian pulled out the knife and glanced at the man with the scar, whose name was Jamie Dullet. He picked up the net on the table that was used for wrapping fruit. He wrapped it around Jamie's leg forcefully and said, "The ancient people of Dramon invented a type of torture. I wonder if you've heard about it before."He added, "Apparently, if you wrap a net around someone and cut off his flesh piece by piece, you can slice him 360 times with a knife.""Wait!" Jamie was sweating profusely as he stared at Sebastian. He said, "I… I'll tell you."Sebastian nodded slightly. He looked Jamie in the face and said, "Good. This means that you're a smart man. Answer me.""We're not from Dramon, we're from Veldor! The three of us are mercenaries!" Jamie yelled loudly.Sebastian nodded slightly and said, "Yeah. I guessed which country you were from based on your features. That's not what I want to know. Who told you to come, and what are you supposed to do here?"Jamie was about to speak
"He's a sadist! He's a demon and a murderer!" Lysander shouted and wailed as he scrambled in Rosalie's direction.He had only crawled forward a few steps when a man in a suit kicked him back. Gavin's gaze swept over Lysander, and he said coldly, " Crouch down and stop moving!"Lysander had been kicked in the ribs by the man in the suit. He was in so much pain that he could barely breathe. However, he knew that he couldn't afford to provoke any of these people, so he had no choice but to crouch aggrievedly on the floor. He dared not move."Send some men and take the corpses to a crematorium. Get them cremated before you investigate how they entered the country and verify their identities!" Gavin ordered in a low voice."Yes, sir!" Two men in suits went out. Not long after, four other men in suits came in again, holding several large black plastic bags. They put the corpses into the plastic bags and stealthily took them out of the Moonlyte Club. Sebastian tossed the knife aside and
Rosalie's expression turned frosty as soon as Lysander finished speaking. She said expressionlessly, "How do you think I should deal with this, Mr. Gaiman?"Lysander was delighted that Rosalie was asking for his opinion. He said venomously, "Ms. Griffin, I think that people like Sebastian will bring trouble upon the Moonlyte Club sooner or later! Do you know that those three murderers said that someone had hired them to kill Sebastian?" Lysander was extremely gleeful. He felt that as long as Rosalie believed him, Sebastian would no longer even be able to enter the Moonlyte Club. If he could come up with some other minor incidents to get Rosalie called back more frequently to the Moonlyte Club, they would have more opportunities to see each other. Once that happened, he was sure that Rosalie would eventually sleep with him. Besides, Lysander felt that he was the one who had contributed the most to the Moonlyte Club. Rosalie would have to consider his opinions carefully. "Mr. Ga
"If you're still planning on staying here, you'd better not provoke Sebastian or any of the people who are staying in the rooms on the fifth floor. Otherwise, the consequences will be far beyond what you can imagine." Rosalie strolled out of the room and sauntered elegantly toward the elevator.Lysander clenched his fists tightly and stared viciously at her retreating figure. He leered at her and said in a low voice, "I will make you pay a heavy price!"…Meanwhile, Sebastian and the others had returned to the office on the fifth floor. Gavin frowned and said, "Mr. Ballard, when did you offend someone with the family name Lewis?"Sebastian raised an eyebrow. Lewis?On the way back, Gavin had told him that someone had hired three assassins from Veldor to kill him. The three assassins had told him that the person who had hired them had the surname Lewis.However, Sebastian couldn't remember offending anyone with that surname. Could it be Jeremy?Sebastian suddenly remembered what
Sebastian's sudden question startled Gavin. He paused for a while before nodding. He said, "Mr. Ballard, to tell you the truth, that is my intention."Before Sebastian could ask, Gavin continued, "The security department has received some information. The peace in Sartvale may be disrupted soon."Mr. Shields Senior must have considered this when he asked me to stay in Steinberg with you."However, if we transfer too many people here, it's sure to attract attention. If we arrange for them to stay at the club as security guards, no one will be able to detect anything."Sebastian nodded slightly and said, "What I'm interested to know is who is the one who will disrupt the peace in Sartvale."Gavin smiled brightly and said, "Mr. Ballard, I wonder if you would consider my suggestion?" Sebastian frowned. "What is it?""Join the security department." Gavin chuckled.Sebastian smiled wryly and shook his head. "Sorry. I'm not interested in the security department. Besides, I don't want
"Young lady, can you tell me where Klaus is now?" Sebastian looked placidly at the receptionist.The receptionist had turned pale with fright when she saw how Sebastian had knocked out a 200-pound, six-foot-tall man with just one slap. She instinctively took one step back.The other security guards rushed forward upon seeing their colleague being knocked unconscious.Sebastian looked at them out of the corner of his eye and smiled at Gavin and Liam. "I'll leave them to you." Liam spread his hands as he looked at Gavin. The two of them exchanged looks and sighed in exasperation. In a flash, they both charged at the guards. Although Gavin and Liam weren't as skilled as Sebastian was, the guards were no match for them at all. Within less than half a minute, the guards were all lying in pools of blood. Gavin patted the dust off his body and chuckled as he said to the receptionist, "I told you he has a bad temper." The receptionist was pale with fear. Both of these men were cl
"Don't struggle?" Klaus thought. Did Sebastian think that he was an idiot? Klaus snickered and turned to jump out of the third floor window to make his escape. He was only less than four feet away from the window. At the rate he was going, he would only need two seconds to break through the window and escape.However, just as the tips of his shoes touched the window, a strong force hit him in the abdomen. His body had been moving forward swiftly, but he suddenly crashed to the floor. Klaus spat out a mouthful of blood.He endured the piercing pain from his abdomen and stared at Sebastian in shock. Sebastian had clearly been several feet away from him!"I told you that you'd be in a lot of pain if you tried to struggle," Sebastian said, looking sideways at Klaus. "I admit that I'm no match for you. If you're going to kill me, then do as you please." Klaus closed his eyes, looking as if he'd given up. "Klaus, there's an ancient form of torture called needle torture. It is
As they stepped out of the courtyard gate, Samson suddenly turned and lowered his voice as he said to Sebastian, "I didn't treat you and your mother well. Please don't hold it against me."Sebastian felt even more conflicted. After everything he had been through, he knew very well that there were times when one really had no choice. When Samson saw that Sebastian was looking at him with a conflicted expression, he patted him on the shoulder and gave him a warm smile. Then he took a token from Preston and walked out of the yard.They followed Preston as he walked toward the east, where there was a majestic-looking building."Why are you helping me?" Sebastian suddenly turned and asked Andreas in a low voice. Andreas glanced at him and gave him a long, cryptic smile. "Do you think I'm helping you? I'm helping myself while doing so!""Oh?" Sebastian looked at Andreas in confusion, his brow knitted. Even Rexton had mentioned that Andreas was in Arnaud's favor. Why would he need t
When Rexton and the others had gone, Preston turned to look at Samson and said irritatedly, "You little rascal. Would I ever hurt you?"Besides, you've been here in isolation for ten years. Why hasn't your temper changed at all? Couldn't you show me some respect in front of all those people?"Samson glanced at Preston but didn't answer.Preston huffed and ignored him. He turned and looked Sebastian up and down instead."Hey, kiddo. Over ten years have passed in just the blink of an eye. You've probably forgotten me. I even gave you candy back then! Come over here and call me Great Uncle Preston!"Sebastian looked at him in surprise. It was true that he didn't have much of an impression of what had happened over ten years ago. However, he could tell from what Preston had said and done that his attitude toward Sebastian's family was completely different from Rexton and the others.Beside Sebastian, Andreas kept shooting him meaningful looks. Sebastian finally smiled and said, "Hell
Although the old man looked as if he was over 60 years old, his expression was sharp and lively, and his skin was smooth as a baby's. It gave him a youthful air.Even the severely injured apprentices all scrambled up from the ground when they saw him. They hastily bowed and said, "Greetings, Great Uncle Preston!"Even Rexton had no choice but to suppress his anger. He bowed sullenly to the old man and said, "Greetings, Uncle Preston."Preston Ballard glanced at Rexton and turned to shout angrily at the apprentices, "If I hadn't come, were you planning to tear the Ballard Estate apart? Look at all of you! Get out of here right now!"Despite the scolding they had been subjected to, none of them dared to protest. They all lowered their heads and slunk out of the yard. Preston glared angrily at them as they went and snorted. "What an embarrassment to the family!"Then he smiled slightly and looked at Samson and Sebastian as he asked, "Samson, do you have anything to say?"Samson lo
Rexton's pupils constricted, and the muscles in his face twitched. He stared at Samson with a wary look in his eyes. He and Samson were two minor stages apart. It was no laughing matter. If the two of them began to fight, Rexton would be sure to die if he didn't have any external assistance."What's the matter? Are you scared?" Samson sneered as he asked in a cold, accusatory tone. That flipped a switch in Rexton's head. His expression changed instantly, and he turned a fierce look on Samson. "Afraid?" he asked through gritted teeth.As he spoke, Rexton seemed to make up his mind. He slowly reached into his pocket and took out a pale blue paper charm, which looked thicker than usual.The paper charm was oppressive to look at. Sebastian instinctively sensed a threatening energy approaching!Even Samson looked wary when he saw the paper charm."Uncle Rexton, this is a Soulcrush Charm. Great Uncle Arnaud has clearly said that no one in the Ballard Estate is allowed to use spiri
Sebastian immediately felt the pressure around him drop. The feeling of being pinned down disappeared as well."How dare you—"Before Rexton could finish, a shadow flashed past him, and Samson popped up right in front of him.Samson stuck out his finger as if it were a sword and tapped him on the chest. Although Samson hadn't used any strength, Rexton could see the murderous look in his eyes. There was a dot of scarlet light that swirled around Samson's finger. A crimson rune was gradually appearing, and there was a chilling, murderous sensation in the air. Sebastian gasped. He had finally realized how the mystic spells should be used, and he was in awe. It wasn't that Sebastian was unable to do it. It was just that up until then, he had only seen the mystic sect apprentices of the secular world. Perhaps their understanding of how to use mystic spells was too superficial, which was why Sebastian's perception had also been affected.Realization only dawned on him when he saw
At Rexton's roar of fury, everyone turned to look at Samson, who was still standing there quietly without moving."A traitor? Murder?"There was finally a flicker of emotion on Samson's face. A sudden glimmer of light flared in his eyes, which had been devoid of life for a long time."Rexton, you know very well how your father died!"As Samson spoke, he walked toward Rexton with a steady step as he said, "I admit that I've wronged Sebastian and his mother. I was just too soft-hearted back then. That's why I believed your lies and tried to keep the big picture in mind for the Ballards, but look at how you've treated me!"There was suddenly a cold glint in Samson's eyes, and he said in a thunderous tone, "You set up a series of traps and tried to kill and torture my wife and son!"You pursued them until the ends of the earth! If my mentor hadn't rescued Sebastian, do you think he'd still be alive today?"Did you just accuse me of murder? Did you ever think of the fact that we're f
Sebastian felt his blood boiling.Although he had once hated Samson because of how he had kicked Sebastian and Isabella out of the family, Samson was still his flesh and blood!When he saw how Rexton was mocking and humiliating Samson, Sebastian felt extreme fury.However, the restrictive force around him was just too strong. Even though he used every skill he had ever learnt, he still couldn't get out of the Skylock Spell's restriction. He could only watch them be smug and arrogant.At that moment, a young man in the crowd suddenly gave Sebastian a resounding slap and said coldly, "It's been ten years! This day has finally come for you and Samson!"If your mother hadn't caused a huge fuss here, my grandfather would never have died! Today, I am going to let Samson get a taste of what it's like to have a family member die in front of him!"The man suddenly pulled out a three-foot-long sword from behind his back. He thrust it at Sebastian's chest.Sebastian couldn't even move a
"Sebastian, I was only planning to ask you to go and greet the elders," Rexton said. "Since you insist on doing things the hard way, don't blame me for being ruthless!"He put one hand behind his back as he fixed a sinister look on Sebastian. There was a murderous tone in his voice as he spoke once again. "Even if you do have some skills, those basic moves aren't even worth looking at here!"As Rexton finished speaking, several youths from the Ballard family stood in the four main directions, respectively. They were all holding a blue paper charm that even Sebastian had never seen before. They began to form a seal. "Seal off the sky and lock the earth!" the four men boomed simultaneously before tossing the paper charm into the air!In a flash, the four blue paper charms disappeared into thin air. Countless silver bolts of light rushed up to the clouds with the four of them at the center of it!Right after that, the silver bolts of light weaved together to form a huge net. Countle
"Stop talking!" Rexton said angrily, cutting off their discussions. He then turned to look at Sebastian and said, "Sebastian, as a junior member of the family, you should be polite. Since you're back, come with me and greet your elders!"Although Rexton appeared to be giving Sebastian a suggestion, the murderous look in his eyes and his commanding tone wasn't pleasant at all. Sebastian looked coldly at him and the people behind him. He huffed and asked icily, "What if I refuse?""What did you say?" Rexton's eyes turned cold, and he eyed Sebastian with an unpleasant look on his face.Among the people behind him, four men walked out. They stared fixedly at Sebastian, as if he were their sworn enemy. They had also taken up positions in the best spots to attack."Are you going to try to do things by force now? Fine. I'd like to stretch too!" Sebastian crooked a finger at them in a challenge."Where do you think this is? How dare you behave so recklessly here?" one of them yelled a
