Chapter 553

Author: Wendell Mayhew
Rosalie's beautiful face was grim as she said coldly, "You're Captain Lopez, aren't you? Sebastian is a benefactor of the Griffin family. I want you to release him immediately."

Carl looked troubled. He didn't dare to refuse Rosalie's request. However, Fergus was upstairs. How could he explain things to Fergus if he let Sebastian go?

"Ms. Griffin, Sebastian Ballard is involved in a serious case. We're just interrogating him according to legal procedures. If there aren't any problems, we'll be sure to let him go. Please understand."

After thinking it over, Carl had decided to stand his ground. He didn't want to let Sebastian go.

Rosalie's expression darkened. "Captain Lopez, are you testing my patience?" she asked, annoyed.

Carl's expression changed. He could tell that Rosalie was suppressing her anger.

"Um, Ms. Griffin, please wait a moment. I'll go in and have a look." Carl smiled, then turned and ran back into his office.

Fergus was sitting on the sofa, calmly sipping co

    "Since you're standing on Steinberg soil right now, you have to follow our rules." Rosalie's expression darkened, and she looked grim. She looked up at Carl's office window and discovered a figure.She laughed coldly. "Captain Lopez, I see that someone gave you courage when you went up.""I don't know what you're talking about, Ms. Rosalie. I'm just obeying the law," Carl said immediately."As if!" Rosalie snapped. "You know much better than I do what the truth is! Aren't you afraid that I'll contact Chief Vince Weist?"Carl was momentarily stunned.If she called Vince, there would be trouble. However, at this juncture, he couldn't hold back! As long as Sebastian signed the paper to admit his crimes, everything would be fine.Therefore, he said harshly, "Even if Chief Weist comes, there'll be no use! Kick them out! You, come with me!" A few officers began herding Rosalie, Hans, and the others out. One of them followed Carl.Carl rushed to the interrogation room. He knew that

    After hanging up, Vince's expression turned dark.Who would be dumb enough to arrest a guest of the Griffins?Vince swiftly sent people to find out. A few minutes later, he received the information."Leonard and Captain Lopez?" Vince looked grimly at the names."Assholes! If they offend Ms. Griffin and prevent Steinberg's development, I'll kill them both myself!" Vince said angrily. He left the office quickly and ordered his chauffeur to drive to the police station. …Back in the interrogation room, Carl held his gun at Sebastian's head. He roared angrily, "I'm going to ask you once again, punk. Will you sign this or not?"Sebastian looked at him calmly and smiled. "I won't.""Do you have a death wish?" Carl pushed him violently and yelled, "Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you right now?" Sebastian chuckled and said, "You can try firing the gun!""Are you taunting me?" Carl snapped. The sound of a gunshot rang in the interrogation room. However, the bullet hit the floor

    Vince's brow furrowed in surprise. He looked at Carl and the others and asked accusingly, "Tell me the truth. Was he really the one who hit you?" "Why would we lie, Chief?" Leonard said hurriedly. "It was that guy, he's crazy! We were asking questions normally, but he just attacked us!" the other injured officer added. Rosalie frowned. She shook her head and said, "I don't believe Sebastian would do that. I want to go in and ask him myself." Carl immediately stopped her and said, "Ms. Griffin, this is an interrogation room. Non-related people aren't allowed to enter. That's the rule." "Are you feeling guilty, Captain Lopez?" Rosalie said coldly. Carl immediately puffed up his chest and said quickly, "What do you mean, guilty? We're just following normal procedure. You can ask Chief Weist if you don't believe us!" Rosalie looked at Vince, who nodded. However, he immediately said, "I can accompany you if you'd like to go in, Ms. Griffin." Carl and the others looked worrie

    Vince's expression darkened. He waved his hand, gesturing for the officers to let go of Carl. Carl laughed coldly and freed himself from their hold. He said icily, "Chief Weist, we all know the rules. You wouldn't want Mr. Targery to get involved, would you?""Mr. Targery…" Vince muttered, frowning. Sebastian frowned slightly and asked, "Are you planning to let them get away with it, Chief Weist?" Vince shuddered and quickly said to Sebastian and Rosalie in a low voice, "Mr. Ballard, Ms. Griffin, you don't understand. Mr. Targery is Mr. Targery Senior's favorite grandson."With the power and influence that Mr. Targery Senior has in Steinberg, he could decide my fate with just a few words. Mr. Ballard, can we just forget about what happened here tonight?"Sebastian finally realized the situation. Vince was afraid of Eugene. "What if I refuse?" Sebastian said coldly. Vince's expression changed. He looked conflicted, and he turned to Rosalie. Rosalie said impassively, "Vinc

    Vince's expression darkened and changed to one of suspicion.Meanwhile, Sebastian and Rosalie bore equally cold expressions as they stared silently back at him.Vince momentarily considered his options before finally steeling himself and shouting, "Officers! Arrest him!"Hearing that made Carl break into a knowing grin. "You are indeed a wise man, Chief Weist," Carl said. "Don't worry, I'll put in a good word for you once Mr. Targery arrives later!"As Carl spoke, the guards had begun to walk toward Sebastian to arrest him. However, they were stopped in their tracks by Vince's angry yell, "What are you doing?"He then jabbed a finger at Carl before he barked, "I told you to arrest him!"The officers, including Carl, were stunned.Carl's eyes were as wide as saucers as he glared at Vince."Chief! What is the meaning of this?" he demanded. "Are you trying to make an enemy out of Mr. Targery?"Instead of answering, Vince kicked Carl square in the chest, sending him sprawling

    Everyone in the interrogation room was stunned into silence at the bold declaration.Who said that? Just who was brave enough to say that in front of Terrence himself?Was he insane? Did he have a death wish?Vince's expression had also darkened immeasurably. Things were about to get messy.Like the others, Carl was stunned by Sebastian's words. But he broke into a maniacal grin right after."Oh, that idiot is fucked," he thought smugly. He was basically asking to be killed by talking to Terrence like that!Rosalie's expression had also twisted into one of anxiety and worry. She knew full well the power and influence of the Targery family in Steinberg.Though they weren't as powerful or influential as her family in Janover, they were currently in Steinberg, not Janover.Hence, even though the Griffins were generally more powerful than the Targerys, they were on the Targerys' turf.If Eugene wanted to protect his grandson and make Sebastian an enemy, Rosalie couldn't save h

    "This is for your grandfather! And this is for Steinberg! And this, well, it's just because I want to!" A slap accompanied each of Sebastian's exclamations. Terrence could taste the blood in his mouth as he lay on the ground. His gaze burned with unbridled rage as he glared defiantly at Sebastian."Mr… Mr. Targery…" Carl stammered as he rushed over to check on TerrenceOh, no. Terrence's handsome face was ruined. In fact, he might even look worse than Carl right now.After a long while, Terrence finally recovered from his shock. His cheeks burned. However, the stinging pain on his cheeks was nothing compared to the pain of getting his dignity trampled on in public.For 20 years now, he has been treated like a king in Steinberg. So, naturally, no one would ever so much as raise their voice at him.And yet this bastard had slapped him not once but multiple times. This would be the bastard's end!Terrence broke into a maniacal laugh as he screeched, "Bastard! I'm going to kill

    The room fell into a dead silence.Everyone was rendered speechless as they watched Eugene treat Sebastian with respect.Was Eugene Targery, the head of the Steinberg Targery family really apologizing to Sebastian?They reeled in shock as they tried to comprehend what was going on.Carl seemed to be the most affected. He sat motionlessly on the ground with a pale expression.He knew that he was screwed. He wasn't going to make it out of this situation alive.Vince also looked confused, staring at Sebastian in disbelief.Who would've thought that Sebastian, who wasn't even in his 30s, could be important enough to garner the respect of Eugene himself?Rosalie also blinked in confusion at Sebastian. The more time she spent with him, the more mysterious she found him.Terrence was shell-shocked. His grandfather was practically a king in Steinberg!Even the leaders of Steinberg could be toppled with just a few words from his grandfather. So, seeing his grandfather apologize so sin

    As the man in the black robe yelled, the entire hall fell silent at once. The thin old man threw the black-robed old man a disgruntled look, but he returned obediently to his seat.Once the noise had died down, Preston stepped forward and swept an icy gaze over the crowd who were present. "You call yourself the elders of the family?"The monument of our ancestral dragon is right in front of you. How could you bully two young members of the family in front of it? Don't you feel any shame?"Besides, how dare you speak before Arnaud does?"After the harsh scolding they received from Preston, no one in the crowd dared to protest. Sebastian nodded involuntarily. It appeared that Preston did have influence in the Ballard family. At least no one had interrupted his scolding, including Arnaud and the man in the black robe.Preston huffed angrily and bowed to Arnaud, who sat in the middle. "Arnaud, I've brought Samson and Sebastian!"Preston went over to the chair next to the black-robe

    "Sebastian, I won't be going in. Remember, don't say anything without being spoken to, and don't be impulsive!" Andreas said softly in Sebastian's ear when they reached the door to the hall. He then walked over to the crowd, which was packed on both sides of the hall.Samson and Preston walked into the hall without any change in expression. Sebastian hesitated for a moment before hurrying to catch up.When they reached the entrance, the two old men reached out to stop them and said to Preston, who was in the lead, "Preston, I'm afraid that it wouldn't be a good idea for you to go in. Everyone knows that you're biased toward Samson's family. If you get into an argument with Arnaud, then—""Nonsense!" Preston yelled furiously. He spoke in a menacing tone to the two old men. "Don't try those tricks with me. Today, I'm going to be the voice of reason. Who among you can do anything to me?"With that, he pushed them aside and strode into the hall.The two old men gazed after his ret

    The Ballard Estate's resources were unfathomable as it was. Could Isabella's family be even more powerful than theirs?Sebastian clearly remembered that both he and Samson were under the Sacred Medicine Society. They even had the same mentor.The Sacred Medicine Society was above all the other mystic martial arts sects. Even the sect leaders of the Nine Sects were very respectful toward his mentor.If Samson really was from the same sect as Sebastian, then his mentor had clearly been unable to save him. Wouldn't that mean that the Sacred Medicine Society was no match for the Ballards?Wouldn't that mean that Isabella's family was an even greater entity?"If my mother's family is really that powerful, why couldn't they rescue my father? There would also be no reason to let me join the Sacred Medicine Society either, right?" Sebastian asked probingly. It seemed as if Andreas had never even thought about such questions. He smiled and shook his head. "You probably don't know about a

    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
