Crystal saw the serious look on Whitney's face, and her heart skipped a beat. An icy glint flashed in Whitney's beautiful eyes. She was now a Warrior at the advanced second level of the Energy Refining stage. An ordinary person like Crystal couldn't bear the oppressive energy she exuded."D-Did I say anything wrong?" Crystal stammered. "I-It was Theresa who called and asked us to come here. S-She said that Sebastian had developed a new drug and that we would get rich soon. She… She called us here to Draepolis to prevent Sebastian from taking the company."Whitney was stunned. After Theresa had been rescued, she had visited her almost everyday to check on her condition. However, Theresa hadn't mentioned a single word of this!"Hmph! If it weren't for that bitch, Mom and I would never have been captured!" Dante chimed in. He clenched his jaw at the mention of Theresa.The day he and Crystal had gotten off the plane, a Yarrolander woman with blonde hair and blue eyes had met them an
At Draepolis Prime Hospital, the chief physician pointed at an x-ray. He said gravely, "Ms. Sutton, we are very sorry. To the best of my knowledge, even the best team in the world wouldn't be able to treat Mr. Sutton's legs."The other doctors couldn't help shaking their heads as they looked at the bones on the screen, which had been shattered into tiny pieces. Whitney took a deep breath and nodded. "Doctor, no matter what happens, I'm very thankful for everything you've done for Dante. Thank you very much," she said politely to the chief physician. "Ms. Sutton, you're far too kind. Actually…" The chief physician paused and said thoughtfully, "Why don't you ask Mr. Ballard for help? There might be hope!"With that, he hurried out of the hospital room.Crystal was lying on the bed near the window. She endured the pain with difficulty and sat up. Tears streamed down her face as she said, "Winnie, you must think of something for the sake of your brother's happiness!"If there's
Inside a historical castle in Yarroland, more than a dozen elderly men in long, white robes sat around a long table. They all looked extremely grim. On a large screen, the scene was frozen on the moment when Jacobus had been defeated in battle. The atmosphere in the hall was extremely suffocating. "Malia is already asking if they should declare war on Dramon. We can't remain silent!" one of the white-haired old men said heavily. It was Josef Norland, the current head of the Norland family. After hearing the news of the destruction of the Malian navy, the 12 great Juwanian families had held a meeting with the heads of each family.After all, Malia was the puppet that the 12 great families had spent centuries establishing. If they went to war with Dramon, Malia's fate would be at stake. Although Alain Rockefeller loudly announced that he would fight to the death with Dramon several times, his family couldn't represent all 12 Juwanian families.Besides, everyone knew that Al
Speculation ran wild on the Internet in various countries, but the main media outlets of the world remained silent. Almost everyone was waiting for Malia's final decision. Meanwhile, Sebastian had returned to Draepolis and had been summoned into Alfonso's office. As Alfonso listened to the captain's detailed report, his expression grew darker. When he heard of how Ajax had mourned for the Juwanians and Malia, he slammed the table and bellowed furiously, "Get in here!"Before long, a secretary pushed the door open and walked in, looking flustered. He saluted Alfonso and said, "Awaiting orders, Chief Hurton.""Send out my command. Torture Ajax to death outside the Martial Gate of Draepolis at noon tomorrow. Confiscate all his family's assets and exile the Gallaghers from Dramon. They are never to set foot on Dramon again!"The secretary retreated, looking as pale as a sheet. Alfonso was still furious. He could have let it go if Ajax had just been an ordinary citizen, but how c
Jaymes had been planning to say that the Malian navy was allowed to travel freely through any ocean in the world, but he bit his tongue. As Jaymes was rendered speechless, Sebastian didn't waste more time talking to him. He turned to Jacobus and said, "I hope you'll remember the lesson you learned today. There won't be a next time. Do you understand?""Yes, yes! I promise that there won't be a next time!" Jacobus nodded, smiling wryly. "Now, get lost!" Sebastian ordered coldly. Jacobus immediately looked as if he had been granted a huge mercy. He didn't even remember to thank Sebastian as he turned and fled at once.When Jaymes saw Sebastian walking across the waves in the direction of Dramon's fleet, he panicked completely. He ran wildly to the shore and shouted at Sebastian's retreating figure, "Mr. Ballard—"Sebastian didn't even look back. He went straight to the flagship of the Dramonian navy. When the captain of the flagship saw Sebastian drift down onto the deck, he h
"Ellon!"Alice's lips turned pale as she stared at Ellon's lifeless body. Terror seemed to squeeze her heart. She wasn't sentimental, but she knew that now that Ellon was dead, she'd be next."Sebastian, I'll do anything as long as you don't kill me!"Alice crawled toward him. She yanked off her glamorous blouse, baring her pale breasts as she continued. "I can serve you like a bitch. I… I'm still a virgin. I-I have a great figure!"As she spoke, she wiggled her rear and moved to undo her belt, right in front of thousands of Malian sailors. "Mr. Ballard, I'll be your plaything from now on. Please don't kill me… okay?"Sebastian hadn't even spared Alice a single glance. Although she looked angelic, her soul was so tainted that it repulsed him.Ellon had been pleading for her right before his death, but she hadn't even deigned to shed a single tear—even if it was fake—for him. She was even trying to use her body to seduce Sebastian."Don't insult bitches, alright? They're innocent
