Chapter 870

Author: Wendell Mayhew
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

    Half an hour later, Sebastian was brought to the Steinberg Alpha Strike Force team base.The base was surrounded by sentries, and numerous people patrolled back and forth on a wall several feet high.There were countless searchlight rays whose beams shone for miles around them. A few ordinary Jeeps drove into the base and headed straight for the interrogation building in the backyard. Before long, Sebastian was taken into an interrogation room that was around 100 square feet in size.Two men in suits uncuffed Sebastian. They pointed to a metal chair beside them and said, "Mr. Ballard, we'll have to trouble you to sit down for a while on that chair."Sebastian's gaze swept over the chair, which was made of welded steel bars, and he sat down on it calmly.The moment Sebastian sat down, he triggered a mechanism, and several iron bars about hands-width in size immediately held him in place on the chair.Seeing that Sebastian had been restrained, the smiles on the faces of the men i

    "These tricks for deceiving children are no use against me. I don't mind telling you that the reason I was bold enough to come here with you is because I don't think anything of you at all," Sebastian said. "You'd better not try any tricks with me. Otherwise, there's no telling who will end up suffering," Sebastian continued in a low voice with his eyes still closed."Is that so? I guess that you won't know what you're dealing with unless we let you suffer a little today!"One of the suited men picked up a hollow steel stick and tried to hit Sebastian's shoulder.Sebastian calmly lifted a leg and kicked the man's abdomen. The man was sent flying several feet away, and he fell heavily onto the floor.As dust and smoke rose up around them, some of the suited men surrounding Sebastian pulled out their guns and pointed them at him! "Don't move! If you move, we'll shoot!" Although Sebastian had blocked the three bullets, he was now being restrained on the metal chair. No matter how

    "Tanner, why don't we make a bet? I'll be able to leave this place safely within two hours at most. Do you believe that?" Sebastian said, smiling as he looked up at the clock on the wall opposite him.As soon as he finished talking, everyone, including Tanner, burst into laughter."You're still thinking of leaving this place alive? You should ask around to see how many people have left the interrogation room of the Alpha Strike Force while still being able to stand!" Tanner brandished the scimitar he was holding and slashed at Sebastian's forehead.Sebastian lifted his head calmly, and the scimitar practically grazed the tip of his nose as it went whistling past. At the same time, he landed a kick on Tanner's knee.There was a crack and the sound of bone breaking. Tanner yelled in pain and fell to one knee in front of Sebastian.Blood dripped out of Tanner's pants leg, and his features were contorted with pain. "Ballard, how dare you act so recklessly here with the Alpha Strike Fo

    Anyone else would've been knocked out by the electricity in an instant.However, Sebastian didn't even let out so much as a whimper. All he did was stare coldly at Tanner."Huh? You're fine, are you?" Tanner stood with his hands behind his back and sneered as he looked at Sebastian. He said to the two suited men, "Let him really enjoy it this time!"The two men pulled the switch once more.This time, they let it continue for almost 20 seconds. When Tanner saw the blue electrical glow travel all over Sebastian's body, there was a look of triumph in his eyes as he felt the satisfaction of getting revenge!He knew better than anyone that the current was affecting Sebastian, and that Sebastian was clenching his teeth in order to endure it!No matter how formidable Sebastian's training was, he was still flesh and blood. Before long, he would experience heart failure and die!No one could blame Tanner for that. It was Sebastian who had failed to recognize what was good for him and had

    "You…" Tanner hadn't expected Sebastian to read his mind. He felt as if there was no turning back at this point.Tanner wasn't really to blame for all this.After all, he wasn't part of the main branch of the Northman family, and he was a negligible presence amongst them. If he really did cause trouble, the Northmans would be sure to make him the scapegoat.If it came to that, he would not only have ruined his future, but he would even be in danger of losing his life.Therefore, Tanner had thought of the safest solution—finding out where Sebastian's formula had come from and getting rid of him legally. At the same time, the source of the formula could become a resource that would allow Tanner to elevate his status in the Northman family.He just hadn't imagined that Sebastian could see right through him so easily."I don't understand what you're saying at all. Don't forget, you were the one who killed those three people! Shall I show you the video?" Tanner sneered and pulled ou

    "Would I need connections to deal with the likes of you? You think too highly of yourself." Sebastian looked disdainfully at Tanner. He couldn't even be bothered to talk to him.At that moment, Tanner's phone rang all of a sudden. When he saw that it was Trevor calling, he hastily shot a meaningful look at some of the suited men before hurrying out of the interrogation room."Trevor, this is Tanner. I've already taken Sebastian to the Alpha Strike Force team's base. But his lips are sealed, and we can't get anything out of him. "Plus, he seems to have discovered that you're the one behind this scheme. Should we just kill him to prevent any future trouble?" Tanner held the phone as he simpered at Trevor, who was on the other end."Uncle Tanner, you've been alive for decades, haven't you? You should have more sense. If we wanted to kill him, would we have to use you as a trump card?"Don't you understand what that anti-cancer formula means to us?"Besides, Sebastian's formula has

    Vince felt as if he had been struck by lightning when he heard that the Alpha Strike Force team had captured Sebastian!After all, Wyatt had only just gotten through the most critical period, and both Larys and Zeke were keeping watch at his hospital bed. Larys had even personally instructed Vince to increase the protection around Sebastian. Before Wyatt recovered, they couldn't allow anything to happen to Sebastian.Sebastian's capture by the Alpha Strike Force team was Vince's biggest dereliction of duty as the police chief.Not only would he be unable to explain this to Larys, but the Holmans were also sure to pursue this issue. Vince immediately asked, "Ms. Griffin, calm down. Why did the Alpha Strike Force team take Mr. Ballard away?"It wouldn't be easy to rescue someone from the Alpha Strike Force team. That was why Vince had to find out the reason behind all this so that he could construct a rational argument when the time came.Rosalie hastily told Vince what had happ

    "Can't you see that Mr. Holman Senior is doing his rehabilitation exercises? How could you be so tactless when you're the police chief? You should act appropriately according to the situation!" Vince was dazed by Larys' rebuke. However, he realized how inappropriately he had behaved, and he hastily lowered his voice and whispered in Larys' ear, "Mr. Compton, something big has happened. It's about Mr. Ballard."Huh?When Larys heard Sebastian's name, he flinched and waved a hand at Vince, gesturing for him to wait outside the hospital room.Vince nodded slightly. He bid Wyatt farewell before hurrying out of the hospital room."Mr. Holman Senior, I'm very sorry, but I've got something to settle very quickly. I won't be keeping you company for now, but I'll visit you some other day," Larys said to Wyatt, squeezing out a smile.Wyatt nodded heavily and said, "Yes. As the mayor of the city, there must be many things you need to deal with everyday. You shouldn't have been wasting tim

    Even though Declan had already said that the old man was only in shock and didn't have a cerebral infarction, the middle-aged man still wanted to hear the opinion of a young traditional medicine doctor like Sebastian! He must be either crazy or an idiot!"If he applies that needle, your father's complexion will go from pale to dark at once. When that happens, it'll only be even more dangerous," Sebastian said impassively."Stop talking crap, Sebastian! My grandfather is the elder of the Healer Sect! Are you implying that he's not as good as you are?" Bryce yelled angrily, pointing at Sebastian.He was furious. "Sebastian, are you doubting my skills in medicine? You're a rookie in the medical field. I only complimented you at the dinner table out of politeness. Did it go to your head?" Declan demanded curtly, his expression changing."You're trying to prick the acupuncture points on the base of the patient's neck as well as in the center of his chest so that you can unblock his br

    "Wow, it really is Mr. Byrne Senior! Hello, hello!" A slightly pudgy middle-aged man exclaimed. He hurried forward and shook Declan's hand heartily.Declan frowned and looked at him for a long time, but he couldn't remember where he had seen the pudgy man before.There were too many people who tried to flatter Declan every day, and he couldn't possibly remember every single one of them."Who are you?" Declan asked, his brow furrowed as he shook the man's hand. "Mr. Byrne Senior, you're so busy, so of course you won't remember me! I'm Fritz Thomson! I had the pleasure of meeting you two years ago while I was shooting a documentary about traditional medicine," Fritz said courteously.Declan finally nodded. Fritz was either a reporter or a director. It wasn't surprising that Declan had forgotten who he was.Although the Healer Sect was also among the mystic martial arts sects, it was very different from the Nine Sects. The Healer Sect had always had close connections with the sec

    Sebastian waved a hand slightly at the middle-aged man and said, "I'm not a genius doctor. I'm just an ordinary traditional medicine doctor. However, that old man is in a very dangerous situation. You must not touch him!"He spoke urgently when he saw that the middle-aged woman was propping the old man up so that he was lying on her lap.The middle-aged woman looked up at the middle-aged man. She was clearly hesitant.They were on the top floor, and the tiled floor was so cold. She didn't think that it would be safe for her to let the old man just lie on the floor. "Listen to Dr. Ballard! You won't go wrong!" the middle-aged man said quickly to her."Dr. Ballard? He's nothing compared to my grandfather!" Bryce exclaimed. He was annoyed to hear the middle-aged man addressing Sebastian so respectfully.After all, Declan was the elder of the Healer Sect. There were even numerous sage doctors who had to treat Declan with respect as their senior in the industry!Who did Sebastian th

    Since Declan had coincidentally met Sebastian at the dinner table that day, he had thought of bringing the latter over to his side. That way, Sebastian could work for him. "Sebastian, I'm planning to make an exception and take you as my apprentice. What do you think?" Declan asked again when he saw that Sebastian was ignoring him.Sebastian continued to ignore him. Did he really thought he could be Sebastian's mentor? The old man must be crazy!"Sebastian, you should hurry and kneel to my grandfather! You're lucky to get him as a mentor! My grandfather hasn't accepted any apprentices for 20 years!"Bryce glared at Sebastian, whom he felt was being far too tactless. There were countless people fighting to have Declan as a mentor."Mr. Byrne Senior, I don't wish to have a mentor. Besides, no one is qualified to be one," Sebastian said impassively. "You little—"Declan was furious. Sebastian was far too arrogant! He was already humbling himself by deigning to take Sebastian as an

    Bryce saw the anger in Declan's face, so he said reluctantly to Larys, "I'm sorry, Mr. Compton. I've acted impulsively."Acted impulsively? It would have been better if Bryce hadn't apologized at all. His apology had made Larys even angrier. He clearly had no respect for Larys at all if he could slap him just out of a moment's impulse. Larys was the mayor of Steinberg. How could he just let things go just because Bryce had said that he had been impulsive? "Mr. Compton, my grandson is young and ignorant. Please don't hold it against him." Declan had no choice but to speak up and apologize to Larys on Bryce's behalf. Larys could only nod. He smiled slightly and said, "Forget about it. Make sure that it doesn't happen again."Once everyone was seated once more, Bryce continued staring viciously at Sebastian. It was all Sebastian's fault that he had been slapped twice by Declan!He couldn't just let him go, but he didn't dare to cause any more trouble at the dinner table. Howeve

    "People always say that you can see what a person is like from looking at their family. I can see that it's true," Sebastian said impassively.That was a harsh insult to Declan. It implied that Bryce's rude behavior was a reflection of Declan's lack of good character, and that their family didn't have good manners.Declan turned purple with rage. Ever since he had become one of the esteemed members of the Healer Sect, everyone in the martial arts community always spoke respectfully to him, especially those of the traditional medicine community. All of them were polite whenever they met him.However, Sebastian had insulted him thrice in a row, and each insult was worse than the last. Rosalie couldn't help but laugh. She leaned on Sebastian's shoulder and turned her head away, her slender figure trembling with the effort of not laughing out loud."You're terrible! You've insulted them so slyly!" Rosalie whispered in Sebastian's ear.Sebastian reached out to put an arm around her t

    Sebastian's expression turned cold at once. What was so important about an elder of the Healer Sect? Was there any reason for him to make so many people wait?Besides, the banquet had been set at 9:00 pm, and both he and Rosalie had arrived on time. Why should Declan be treated differently?Sebastian had never had any patience with people who used their age as an excuse to do whatever they wanted to."Forget it. Calm down, both of you, and let's both refrain from saying anything else."Larys stood up quickly to smooth things over. Both Sebastian and Julian remained silent out of respect for him. However, they both exchanged icy looks.Now that the conflict had subsided, Larys leaned closer to Sebastian and whispered, "Mr. Ballard, I'll be honest with you. I can't afford to offend either you or Mr. Byrne. Please help me out and refrain from pursuing this matter further."Larys was being sincere. He was in awe of Sebastian's allies, but Declan had equally powerful allies supporting

    Upon hearing Rosalie's words, Sebastian laughed wryly and shook his head.The Nine Sects wouldn't dare to say a thing to the Ballard Estate, who in turn thought nothing of the Healer Sect.Andreas snorted in laughter and said, "If you had said so 100 years ago, even I would have had to concede. However, times have changed now.""What do you mean?" Rosalie looked curiously at Andreas. It seemed that Sebastian's cousin was very familiar with the Healer Sect. "About 12 years ago, they went on the wrong path. If you check thoroughly, you'll probably find that the development of many new medicines was related to the Healer Sect. However, they are not the refiners!"Rosalie seemed to be deep in thoughts. Her brow darkened as she said thoughtfully, "Do you mean to say that the Healer Sect has abandoned the art of medicine and has decided to go in the direction of the art of pill refining instead?"This made Andreas see Rosalie in a different light.Medicine and pill refining were very

    "Are you talking about your cousin? He doesn't look like a businessman at all, though. He looks more like…"Rosalie put her chin in her hands, her brow tightly furrowed. However, she couldn't find an appropriate way to describe Andreas.He felt very strange to Rosalie. There was a kind of energy he had that was difficult to express in words. "It doesn't matter whether he's a businessman or not. He just has to have money. Why don't we discuss it with him tomorrow? I think he'll probably support you unconditionally," Sebastian said confidently."Really? But if we develop a similar medicine, won't we be going against the Croydons? That doesn't seem right."Lorcan was a friend of Oliver's, after all. That meant that he was a friend of the Griffins. Rosalie didn't want to make such an important family their enemy in business. "With that contract, we have to show the Croydons that they shouldn't become ungrateful, nor should they use their force against us!" Sebastian exclaimed in a
