"As for you, Dragon Slayer, you're weaker than I thought." Sebastian chuckled lightly. His tone and his reply were full of contempt.Steven was furious. "You're fucking dead!" he roared. His black hair curled up, and he dashed toward Sebastian with his fists out like a crazy and hungry wolf. Sebastian snorted. Without another word, he delivered a punch. His punch shattered Steven's fist directly, and even his arm cracked. Bones pierced through his skin, and blood was dripping everywhere. Steven staggered and took a dozen steps back. He held his shattered fist and stared at Sebastian in shock. "Impossible. This is impossible! How can a person like you exist in Steinberg?"Steven was thoroughly shocked. Panic and fear filled his heart. "Why is that so? This just shows that you've been living under a rock," Sebastian mocked mercilessly. Steven was horrified at his words. He rushed toward Rosalie, who was tied up on a chair behind him. He wanted to escape now. The only chan
Steven lay in the rubble. He snorted weakly and said, "I'm Dragon Slayer, no. 32 on the Blacklist. I won't betray my employer.""Is that so? Go to hell then," Sebastian said coldly without any hesitation. He crushed Steven's head with one single foot. Then, he retrieved a mobile phone from the thugs on the ground. He scrolled through the contacts and dialed a number. Mateo was waiting for news from Steven and his subordinates at a five-star hotel in Steinberg. Suddenly, his phone rang. Mateo picked up the call and asked anxiously, "How is it? Is the punk dead?"Sebastian replied coldly, "You should run now, Mateo Cortez. I'm coming for you."Mateo was utterly shocked when he heard Sebastian. "You… you're not dead? Where's Steven?" he stood up and yelled in panic. "You mean the Dragon Slayer? He's dead," Sebastian replied calmly. Upon hearing this, Mateo trembled as he slumped on the sofa. Steven's dead? He was a skilled assassin on the Blacklist that he hired at a high
"Is there anything else? If not, please go home," Sebastian said impassively. He turned to go in.Whitney was startled. She called out quickly, "Sebastian, don't you want to know why I came to see you?" Sebastian paused and said coldly, "No, I don't. With the way things are between us, we don't have much to say to each other. After tonight, you'll be married. We'd better not meet again." Whitney shuddered violently at his ruthless words. Tears started in her eyes, and she cried out, "Sebastian, I came to tell you I misunderstood you. I was wrong.""I just ran away from my wedding…" Whitney burst into sobs and wept. "I'm sorry, I was wrong. It was all my fault from the start. Please don't leave me. I really, really want to start again with you."Sebastian's heart skipped a beat, and he stood stiffly where he was. He took a deep breath and laughed in resignation. He said, "Is there any point in saying all this now? We're divorced. There's no way to put a cracked mirror back toge
Once the silver needles took effect, the pain in Whitney's chest subsided. However, her breathing was still unstable. Sebastian quickly picked her up and turned to enter the store. However, several cars from the wedding party suddenly pulled up sharply at his door! Fergus had brought a bunch of people, including Crystal and Dante. They all rushed out of their cars. Fergus was furious when he saw that Sebastian was about to carry Whitney into the store. He rushed up to them and grabbed Sebastian by the collar."Ballard! What did you do to Whitney?" he roared. Crystal rushed over and yanked Whitney out of his arms. "What's the matter, sweetie? Don't scare me…" Crystal cried out anxiously. She had seen how terrible Whitney's complexion was. "Sebastian, what did you do to Winnie?" she yelled angrily. Dante rushed over, his hands tightened into a fist. He hollered, "Asshole! How dare you drug my sister?" Sebastian frowned. He didn't have time to say anything, and they alr
The police officers frowned and looked around. They immediately pulled out handcuffs and cuffed Sebastian, saying coldly, "Come with us.""Are you just going to believe whatever they say?" Sebastian frowned.One of the police officers looked annoyed and said coldly, "Whatever the situation is, come back with us so that we can investigate."They immediately pushed Sebastian into the car.Fergus laughed sinisterly as he watched the patrol car drive off. He pulled out his phone and made another call. He said icily, "Carl, do me a favor.""What is it, Mr. Cobb?" Carl Lopez was sitting in the captain's office at a police station in Steinberg. He had his legs crossed as he sat in his chair, smoking."There's a reckless fellow who keeps challenging me. He even drugged my fiancée tonight! Teach him a lesson for me! It would be best if he gets locked up for life!" Fergus said coldly, his voice filled with rage."Alright, no problem. It's just that there are some things that need to be
Sebastian had been taken into the interrogation room at the police station and cuffed to a chair.Two men walked in. They locked the door and sat on the opposite side, looking perfectly relaxed. They were smoking, and they took out a confession document and tossed it at Sebastian. "Sign it," they said coldly. Sebastian frowned as he looked through the document. Rape?His expression changed, and he said in annoyance, "I'm not going to sign this.""You're not?"One of the men scoffed. He got up, still smoking, and walked over to Sebastian. He said coldly, "Don't you know where you are, punk? If you don't want to suffer, then sign it!""Are you going to torture me until I give in?" Sebastian asked, smiling calmly. The man's expression darkened, and he laughed coldly. "Do you know who I am, punk?"Sebastian shook his head. "No." "I'm the best interrogator in this place, Leonard Schultz. They call me the Judge from Hell!" Leonard spoke proudly with a scornful, sinister loo
Sebastian's expression darkened. Leonard was in no rush. He sat down calmly and crossed his legs, saying, "No rush. Take your time and think about it. We've got time to wait for you." "Does the law not exist?" Sebastian frowned slightly. Leonard laughed coldly, looking sinister. "The law? We are the law, punk!" Leonard glanced at the time and said, "We're not going to waste time here. Either you sign and confess and get locked up for about ten years, or you sign this transfer agreement. "We each get what we want and go our separate ways. Don't make things hard for us, and we won't make things hard for you." He took out a transfer agreement and gestured for his colleague to give it to Sebastian. Sebastian didn't even look at it. He laughed and said, "What if I refuse to sign?" With a loud bang, Leonard slammed his hand on the table. He roared, "I'm discussing it with you nicely right now, punk! I'm trying to help you! Don't make me do things the hard way! It'll be hard f
Hans and his subordinates were discussing the issues pertaining to their organization in his private villa. Suddenly, an underling ran in and cried out urgently, "Mr. Wagner! Bad news!""What is it? Why are you panicking?" Hans said, looking displeased.The underling said quickly, "Dr. Ballard has been arrested!""What did you say?" Hans shot to his feet and asked anxiously, "What's going on? Who arrested him?""I'm not sure, but I heard that Leonard is the interrogator!" the underling replied quickly.Hans' expression changed, and he said, "Leonard? The Judge from Hell? Oh no! If Dr. Ballard falls into his hands, things will not end well!"Hans was anxious. Without any time to think further, he called out to his underlings. "Take around a dozen men. We're going to get him out!""Yes, Mr. Wagner!" he answered and immediately ran to gather the others. Within moments, more than a dozen Land Rovers carrying Hans and his men set out, heading straight for the police station where S
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
