"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
Sebastian hurried out of the room.The three assassins from Veldor weren't part of the Lewis family's main attack. They were only a decoy.Therefore, Sebastian had to find Jeremy and Jeffrey at once. He would only be able to solve all his problems if he dealt with the two of them."That was fast, Seb!" Liam saw that Sebastian had come out after less than five minutes, and he smiled as he went up to him. "Let's go." Sebastian shot a harmless smile at the pretty receptionist before leaving the Brotherhood Club with Gavin and the others."What did you find?" Liam asked as he drove. "As we expected, the Lewis family is behind it! They were the ones who arranged for the assassins tonight too. Can you find out where Jeremy and Jeffrey are right now?" Sebastian asked calmly."Seb, Jeremy left Steinberg four days ago. However, I'm really not sure where he went. As for Jeffrey, he's a mysterious man. Even we find it hard to trace his movements," Liam said, frowning.Liam had only real
Sebastian smiled happily as he walked into a private room with Skylar. There were two other women seated on the couch inside, and they immediately got up to greet him when they saw him entering."Mr. Ballard! Mr. Ballard!" The two women slipped their arms through Sebastian's.He smiled at them as he said, "I didn't see the two of you inside that room just now. Skylar wants to thank me, but you two…""Mr. Ballard, we were the escorts for those men just now. This is Lina Turnor and Mimi Lozario. If you hadn't helped us, the three of us would have been in huge trouble today!" Skylar explained to Sebastian as she closed the door.Sebastian nodded and glanced at the four glasses of red wine already laid out on the table. He smiled and said, "I can see that you're fully prepared."Skylar was startled, and the other two women immediately smiled very awkwardly."Mr. Ballard, let me make you a toast," Skylar said. She picked up one of the glasses of red wine and handed it to Sebastian.S
Sebastian closed the door and chuckled as he said, "Don't worry. I won't kill you right now.""Mr. Ballard, we… we were forced to do this," Lina explained quickly to him.When Sebastian had killed the three men, she had been in the room. She had seen for herself how Sebastian had tortured them to death, which was why she was now looking at Sebastian with fear in her eyes."Mr. Ballard, if you're going to kill me, I have nothing to say. I beg you, please save my family." Skylar walked over to Sebastian, looking as if she had made peace with herself. There was an apologetic, guilty look in her eyes as she said, "Mr. Ballard, did you already suspect me from the beginning?"Sebastian smiled calmly and said, "Only a bit. You were acting too enthusiastically when we've only met once."Sebastian hadn't expected Skylar to drug his wine. He had thought that Skylar would try to seduce him to get his protection. However, the moment he had sniffed the wine, his keen sense of smell had imm
Skylar nodded slightly. Sebastian heard the sound of high heels in the corridor, so he quickly lay back in his original position and closed his eyes tightly.As he had expected, the door opened in less than a minute.Mimi walked into the room and looked at Sebastian, who was still on the floor where he had fallen.When she saw that he was still unconscious, she smiled and said, "Your next task is to let him lean on you as you leave the Moonlyte Club. There'll be a black van outside. Just take him there, and that will be all you have to do."Skylar and Lina nodded quickly. They hefted the "unconscious" Sebastian onto their shoulders with some difficulty and tottered outside.In the corridor, the security guards immediately surged forward when they saw Lina and Skylar walking outside with Sebastian leaning heavily on them. Lina quickly explained that Sebastian was drunk and they were taking him back. The security guards stopped asking questions. After all, many people got dead d
Sebastian saw that he was in a spacious room that was about a thousand square feet. There were over a dozen burly men dressed in black.They all looked murderous, and their waistlines were bulging. They were probably armed with guns.Behind Sebastian, Skylar and Lina were being held on the floor by four burly men. Their eyes were filled with terror as they looked at Jeremy. On the other end of the couch, Mimi sat with her legs crossed. She fixed an icy stare at Sebastian, as if she were looking at a dead man."We meet again, Mr. Lewis. However, is this how you treat guests?" Sebastian waved his tied arm.Jeremy burst into laughter and said, "Ballard, who would've thought that you would ever be in a situation like this? I really put in everything I had to get you."His smile became increasingly more ferocious. When he saw Sebastian, he immediately thought of Jasper, who was still lying in hospital. He also remembered the slaps that he had gotten that day. Since the day he start
However, the Slaughter Gods had suddenly cut off all contact with Jeremy, which was why he had suddenly gotten the idea of legalizing all his businesses. Without the support of a powerful ally like the Slaughter Gods, Jeremy had been rather cautious.However, the Slaughter Gods had suddenly contacted him again recently, making him feel that luck was really on his side.He had been planning on becoming the top dog of Steinberg's underworld with the Slaughter Gods' help, but unfortunately, Sebastian's appearance had ruined his plan.Otherwise, both Hans and Andon might have already been murdered through the Slaughter Gods. Jeremy had finally seen an opportunity when the Moonlyte Club reopened, whereupon he immediately activated the pawns he had planted in the club.However, the result had disappointed Jeremy greatly. It hadn't posed any threat to Sebastian at all. He had had no choice but to take action and plot an elaborate scheme to lure Sebastian into his trap."I'm sure you
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
