Chapter 879

Author: Wendell Mayhew
"Shoot me dead? I'm afraid you've missed your chance," Sebastian said. He turned to look in the direction of the door.

There was the crisp sound of leather shoes coming briskly toward them outside, and someone suddenly pushed the interrogation room's steel door open forcefully.

A man in his 30s strode inside with several people in tow.

Behind him came Larys and Vince. They saw at once that Sebastian was tied up on the steel chair. They hurriedly pointed at him and said, "Commander Lehman, it's him! That's Mr. Ballard, the one I was telling you about!"

Victor Lehman looked in the direction that Larys was pointing in. He glanced at Sebastian, and then his gaze alighted on Tanner, who was holding a gun against the back of Sebastian's head.

"Tanner, what are you doing? Put the gun down right now!" Victor said harshly in an imperious tone.

"Captain Northman, it seems that you don't have absolute authority in the Alpha Strike Force team after all." Sebastian laughed scornfully as he t

    "This shows that Mr. Ballard was with Ms. Griffin the entire time. Mr. Ballard only left his residential area in the middle of the night to go to the suburbs, which is where the crime took place." As he spoke, Vince pulled up the recording of his conversation with Rosalie."Commander Lehman, I believe that Ms. Griffin's testimony is even more trustworthy."Besides, a case like this that is related to safety and security in society should be investigated by the police. The Alpha Strike Force team should not have intervened."Victor nodded slightly at Vince's reasoned argument and said, "Chief Weist is right. Even if everything is as you have said, cases like this should be investigated by the police."Victor frowned and looked at Tanner as he said, "Captain Northman, both sides now have ample evidence. This shows that this is a complicated case. I command you to release him at once!"Tanner swallowed, and his heart sank. If he let Sebastian go now, there would surely be trouble i

    "Tanner!" Victor couldn't help slamming the table. He yelled at the suited men, "Get out of here, all of you! How dare you try to accuse Mr. Compton? Are you tired of living?"He had never imagined that Tanner would act so recklessly right in front of him. How could he even try to take advantage of Larys?"Commander Lehman, I'm just working according to the law. Are you asking me to bend the law for my own ends?" Tanner asked. He was clearly not going to back down."Why you—" Victor didn't know what to say.Just as Tanner looked triumphant, there was the sound of a whip lashing against the ground from outside the door."Surround this entire place. Shoot anyone who moves on the spot!" a young man yelled, and then there was the sound of hurried footsteps. Before long, around a dozen Warriors carrying guns burst into the room!"Don't move! Put your hands up!""Turn in your guns and we won't kill you!" Over a dozen muzzles were aimed simultaneously at the dozen or so suited men in

    Liam laughed coldly and took out three photos, which he tossed onto the table. He said coldly, "These three people are from an organization of assassins called the Slaughter Gods! Three years ago, the military started paying attention to them after they committed their first crime. "I believe that Captain Northman here knew very well that the three of them were acting suspiciously, but he still described them as good people who had acted out of bravery. He should give us a reasonable explanation for that, shouldn't he?"I don't care if he acted out of an order or if he was secretly communicating with the Slaughter Gods, but I won't stand for him using this to slander Mr. Ballard!"Take him! Shoot whoever tries to stop you!" As soon as Liam spoke, the members of the Alpha Strike Force team all stepped aside. They were wary of being seen to be related to Tanner in any way.Victor had realized how serious the issue was.The special forces team was a department in the military, but i

    What?Even Larys was startled to hear what Liam had said. He was the mayor of the city, but it was extremely difficult for him to get a meeting with Wyatt.If it weren't for the fact that Wyatt had been on the brink of death and had returned to his hometown in Steinberg, Larys would never have met Wyatt even once in his entire life."Mr. Ballard, Mr. Holman Senior isn't the kind of person that you can meet just because you want to," Larys blurted out without thinking.Sebastian glanced at his watch. It was already 4:00 am, and after hesitating for a long time, he said to Liam, "Let me tell my family that I'm safe."As he spoke, Sebastian pulled out his phone and called Rosalie.When Rosalie heard Sebastian's voice, she burst into excited tears."Sebastian, is it really you? Are you alright? Did Chief Weist get you safely out of the Alpha Strike Force team?" Rosalie's anxious voice came over the phone.Sebastian sighed softly and said in a calm voice, "I'm fine. I'm going to the

    Apart from the Beckards, there was no one who could save Trevor's life. After all, he was the one who had arranged for those assassins from the Slaughter Gods.As soon as his collusion with an organization of assassins like the Slaughter Gods was revealed, even the Northmans couldn't save him!However, Trevor knew very well what kind of person Jace was. If he called him, he would be under Jace's thumb until the day he died."Hmph. Even if I die, I'm going to drag Ballard down with me!" There was a vicious look in Trevor's eyes as he grabbed his phone and called Jace. "Hey, Mr. Northman! I heard that you plotted to get Sebastian caught by the Alpha Strike Force team. Congratulations! Not only have you gotten revenge, you may even have gotten the formula for a new anti-cancer drug. "When you start prospering in the future, don't forget about me!" Jace's voice was laced with scorn when it came over the phone. Trevor's expression darkened when he heard him. It turned out that Jace

    "Jace, just spit it out. I'm completely at your mercy this time. As long as I can get past this current challenge, I'll agree to any condition you set, as long as you don't ask me for my life," Trevor said coldly.On the other end of the phone, Jace was silent for a moment before he said coldly, "Alright! Since you're being so forthright, Mr. Northman, I won't beat around the bush any longer. "I only have three conditions. The first is the formula for the Arctic Snow Mask, and the second is half the profits from the new anti-cancer drug. Lastly, I want 60% of the shares in Heritage Pharmaceuticals, which is under the Northmans."What?Heritage Pharmaceuticals was one of the largest pharmaceutical companies under Northstar Pharma. Its jurisdiction included four private hospitals in Steinberg and Sunway owned by the Northmans. It also had a pharmaceutical factory. If Jace took 60% of the shares in Ancient Pharmaceuticals, it would be equal to taking several hundred million in prof

    "If you really do as you say and indulge Grandpa and his old comrades' hobbies as well as guarantee their health, you'd be doing a wonderful thing." Liam smiled in excitement.Wyatt had called Sebastian to the sanatorium in the middle of the night because he admired Sebastian's superb medical skills.After Wyatt explained his own situation and some of his old comrades' situations, Sebastian immediately produced a long-term treatment plan.The most important part of the treatment plan was letting Wyatt and his comrades indulge their appetites while simultaneously treating their illnesses.Wyatt immediately decided to call his old comrades the next day and invite them to the Steinberg sanatorium. After that, he discussed the specifics of welcoming them with Joe before he told Liam to drive Sebastian back home."Mr. Holman Senior has been in the military for pretty much his entire life, and he's spilled his blood and risked his life for the sake of the nation. What I do pales in comp

    Although the Northmans were using the banquet to show their support for Arctic Snow Group, they still sent an invitation to Bashmore Group.Jace gave Fergus two of the three invitations he had received and sneered, "Mr. Cobb, I'm sure you know what to do, don't you?"Fergus took the invitations obsequiously. He said in a flattering tone, "Don't worry, Mr. Beckard. I will definitely get Whitney for you!"Jace swept a disdainful glance over him and waved a hand as he said, "Go about your business."Fergus thanked him profusely and left Jace's room. He rushed straight over to Frostwave Corporation.…The next evening, when Sebastian and Rosalie arrived at the entrance to Pullman Hotel, they bumped into Fergus and Whitney, who were walking toward them. Fergus had changed into a black tuxedo, while Whitney had a gauzy black gown on. The hem of her skirt was just high enough to reveal her fair, slender calves.The moment they appeared, Whitney's outfit immediately attracted the atte

    Sebastian threw his head back in laughter. He strode forward, standing in the center of the hall, and said coldly. "Ungrateful? How could you have the audacity to say such a thing?"Even if I'm surrounded by enemies, you Ballards can forget about making me submit! It's just death, after all. If I even blink, then I won't call myself a man!"Everyone there stared at Sebastian."How dare that brat be so cocky? If he's not punished, it'll be a disgrace to our family rules!""He should be given the death penalty!""It'll be a disaster if we just let him be, and it'll only bring trouble for our family. Please give the order, and we'll kill him at once!"The entire hall was in an uproar. Even Preston, who had been speaking up for Sebastian and Samson, sighed in resignation.Since Sebastian had already made his stance clear, Preston couldn't help even if he wanted to.Sebastian had roused the anger of everyone there, and Arnaud had closed his eyes and wasn't saying anything. He was cl

    Sebastian was just about to step forward when Samson hastily waved a hand at him and said, "Sebastian, the grudges of the Ballard family from over ten years ago have nothing to do with you. Don't get involved!""But—"Sebastian's gaze sharpened as he turned to look at Milton. There was an icy glint in his eyes. Samson shook his head slightly at Sebastian. The Ballard Estate had at least ten experts at the eighth level of the Eldoria realm. At Sebastian's current level, trying to fight them would only bring him big trouble."Sebastian, one must learn how to adapt to the situation," Samson whispered into his ear using voice projection. "Today, I will exchange my legs for your and Whitney's freedom. Think of it as a payment for what I owe you and your mother."Sebastian clenched his fists tightly. He hated himself for being too weak. He couldn't even protect his own family in a place like the Ballard Estate, where many experts were gathered.However, he would never allow anyone to

    "Do you accept it, Samson?" Arnaud asked harshly when he saw that Preston hadn't said anything else. He turned to look directly at Samson.Samson smiled bitterly and turned to look at Sebastian before raising his head to look at Arnaud, who was sitting high above them. He said, "Uncle Arnaud, I was the reason for everything that happened. I wish to ask you not to trouble Sebastian.""What are you talking about?" Preston was agitated. He stood up again and yelled, "There must still be an investigation about who was right and who was wrong. Why should they break your legs?"As he spoke, his eyes blazed with fury. He looked at the thin old man and said furiously, "Milton, you old bastard! How can you be so shameless at your age? Tell me! Did you embellish the story to Arnaud?""Uncle Preston!" Samson stopped him quickly and sighed slightly. "Forget it. It's my fault for bringing such huge trouble upon our family back then."I admit that I have let our family down. Since imprisoning m

    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
