"Ms. Griffin, there are some things you can't intervene. Even if Mr. Griffin Senior is here, he won't stop the Alpha Strike Force from doing our tasks. Please move out of our way, Ms. Griffin, or else!"Tanner stepped in front of Rosalie."Rosalie, I'm fine. Just wait for me at the store. They will release me by tomorrow morning," Sebastian said calmly."Tomorrow morning? Are you kidding me? Do you know how many people died in your hands? You are a martial arts criminal, which adds to your crime! Just wait and see!" said one of the men beside Sebastian.Sebastian just glanced at the guy and said, "Is the Alpha Strike Force so free nowadays to even patrol in the suburban area? How much did Trevor give you to work for him?"Tanner turned to Sebastian coldly and said, "I suggest you watch your mouth. Slandering the Alpha Strike Force is also an offense! You're already in deep trouble, so you'd better not make things worse!""You're going to create troubles for yourselves soon," Seba
"Bring him away!" Tanner shouted.Sebastian looked at Tanner and sneered, "What a good trap! I wonder who Trevor is to you. At least give me the privilege of knowing this before I die."Tanner chuckled coldly and then showed Sebastian his identification card."Tanner Northman."So, he was from the Northman family.Sebastian chuckled as realization struck him. "It seems the Northman family has great connections. You guys put in a lot of effort to set this trap. But aren't you scared that it might cause your family some trouble if things went south?"Trevor's trap was indeed excellent.He had Whitney kidnapped to lure Sebastian in, then used the death of the three assassins to frame Sebastian. Finally, the Alpha Strike Force stepped in.No matter how capable Sebastian was, he wouldn't have been able to escape this trap.At this point, no matter what Sebastian said, the voice recording alone was already enough to sentence him to death.Sebastian knew whatever he said wouldn't ma
"Do you know the offense of obstructing the Alpha Strike Force?" Tanner asked as he stared at Janet."I don't care. Touch my lady and I will fight!" Janet said with a hint of fear.If it was just some ordinary security personnel, Janet wouldn't be so anxious. After all, Mike's connection was extensive. But facing the Alpha Strike Force, even she felt a twinge of unease."Such audacity! Let's see how desperate you are. Get her!" Tanner barked, waving his hand to the dozen or so men in suits behind him.Two of the suited men stepped forward, reaching for Rosalie's arms. Seeing this, Janet swiftly drew a knife from her waist."What are you doing?"Seeing the shiny knife in Janet's hand, the two Alpha Strike Force members took a step back and reached for their own weapons."If anyone dares to come near, I… I'll kill myself! Even if the Alpha Strike Force forces someone to death, they have to bear responsibility too!" Janet declared, pressing the knife against her own throat.The tw
"You—""Don't move! If you move again, you'll die!" Sebastian stepped on the chest of one of the men while turning an icy gaze on another.Both of them immediately felt a cold, murderous energy blasting at them, especially the one Sebastian's gaze was fixed on. The man froze, feeling as if he had seen the Grim Reaper. The look in Sebastian's eyes was terrifying and made him feel as if his life was about to end.In just a moment, both Grandmaster-level experts had been overpowered by Sebastian, and the rest of the men in suits were sweating with fear. They backed away several paces, pulled out their guns, and aimed them at Sebastian."Sebastian, how dare you attack the Alpha Strike Force? Resisting against the law with violence is going to make you doubly guilty!" Tanner was shocked. He had caught all kinds of people over the years, and none of them had been bold enough to resist the Alpha Strike Force.Sebastian was different. Not only had he resisted capture, he had even attack
Tanner was the captain of the Alpha Strike Force special ops team. He had never been strangled and threatened before.In addition to that, Sebastian knocked out two team members who were Grandmasters. This was probably the most humiliating defeat the Alpha Strike Force team had suffered over so many years.He swore to himself that when they got to the Alpha Strike Force team base, he would use all their instruments of torture on Sebastian.Sebastian slapped Tanner.Tanner felt as if he had been hit by a slab of metal. Half of his face went numb at once. He was only prevented from falling to the ground because Sebastian was holding him by the neck."How dare you threaten me?" Sebastian stared icily at Tanner, who had blood trickling out of the corner of his mouth.Tanner had been struck dumb by the slap. He stared dazedly at Sebastian for a while before getting angry and saying, "How dare you hit me? No one can save someone who attacks the captain of the Alpha Strike Force team, n
At that moment, Dante and Crystal came out of the two-story building, supporting Whitney as she walked. She looked very weak. "Sebastian!" Whitney looked up and caught sight of Sebastian strangling Tanner with one hand. Her eyes misted over at once. "Why? Why would you do this to me?"If you wanted the formula of the Iceheart facial mask, you could have just told me! If you wanted it, you could have taken it at any time! But… Why did you have to lie to me?" Tears trickled out of her eyes.That night, she had received a call from an unfamiliar number, but it had been Sebastian's voice on the other end.At that moment, Whitney felt as if she had seen the final ray of hope in getting back together with him. Therefore, she hadn't even thought twice before going to the place where "Sebastian" had arranged to meet her. However, the person waiting for her wasn't a tender-eyed Sebastian who wanted to start over. It had been a stranger in a baseball cap who had a rather hoarse voice.
Sebastian huffed and released his grip on Tanner's throat.Tanner finally breathed a sigh of relief as he felt the pressure disappear from around his neck. After panting heavily, he looked up and smiled ingratiatingly at Sebastian.Just when everyone thought that Tanner had submitted to Sebastian, he suddenly reached for the gun around his waist and fired three shots consecutively. "Die!"The sound of gunshots tore through the quiet night air, and the bullets headed straight for Sebastian's chest!They were only a few feet apart, and the bullets would land in Sebastian's chest almost instantly. However, something unbelievable happened!Sebastian raised his hand gently, and the three bullets stopped and hung in midair like a scene from the Matrix. What? Tanner wasn't the only one struck dumb with fear. The men in suits behind him were completely flabbergasted.Before they could recover, Sebastian reached out and grabbed the three bullets that had been suspended in midair. He s
Between staying alive and maintaining his dignity, Tanner chose the former without a second thought.It was important to maintain one's dignity, but one only had one life."I thought that you weren't afraid of death, Captain Northman. However, I hope that this is the first and last time. Otherwise, you won't be so lucky next time." Sebastian laughed coldly as he slowly lifted his foot.Tanner felt the pressure on his back disappear, and the feeling of pain disappeared as well. However, he was still sweating profusely in fear..As the captain of the Alpha Strike Force special ops team, it was the first time that he had been so close to death.At that moment, Tanner felt that his life was as insignificant as a piece of duckweed and that it could be ended at any time.That sensation caused him to feel a deep-rooted terror, but it also caused him to feel an utter hatred for Sebastian. Sebastian had spared his life in the end, but he had also humiliated Tanner in front of his entire
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
