While the guests were still processing the information about Sebastian's true identity, Lawrence and Kenny, although looking pale, showed skepticism. They snapped at Sebastian confidently, accusing him of trying to bully them into fear."Do you believe that unveiling your fabricated identity will make us fear you, Sebastian? You're nothing more than an arrogant young man attempting to intimidate us!" Lawrence scolded with a sardonic laugh.Kenny, wasting no time, voiced his disbelief, "Don't get too far ahead of yourself, Sebastian. You won't scare us with tricks like this!"Sebastian simply smiled broadly, unfazed by their skepticism. Locking eyes with Lawrence and Kenny, he remarked, "You might not believe it now, but just wait. You'll see for yourselves."Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room changed. The lights dimmed, creating a more dramatic atmosphere. The clubhouse door opened, and a group of men with serious faces entered the room. They were the men of Lawrence who had yelled

Clutching the wine bottle with both hands trembling, Kenny swiftly removed the cork and commenced a rapid consumption. His pallid, contorted face mirrored the repulsion and unease induced by the unexpected encounter with a quality of wine he had never fathomed tasting. In a mere fifteen seconds, Kenny accomplished the feat of draining an entire bottle, concluding with a resounding belch.Simultaneously, Lawrence, his son-in-law, witnessed the unfolding spectacle with a visage of growing horror. His eyes then turned towards Sebastian, and with a hint of hesitation, he asked, "Master Cole, if you please, may I be granted leave to return home now?"Sebastian shook his head, a sardonic smile lingering on his lips. "In a mere five seconds, Lawrence, you shall receive a call that holds the destiny of your life in its balance," he declared.Initially incredulous, Lawrence furrowed his brow, but shortly after, the distinct ring of his phone resonated. Hesitatingly, he answered the call. The w

Eleven o'clock in the evening had arrived, and the atmosphere in the clubhouse was easing after the earlier tension. Sebastian looked around with an expression that seemed unaffected by the previous incident. Meanwhile, the guests began to prepare to say goodbye.The clubhouse members, who had been worried about Sebastian's attitude after the incident with Robert, were relieved to see the host's unconcern. As if following Sebastian's example, they said their goodbyes respectfully.Robert, still harboring guilt, approached Sebastian. In an almost inaudible voice, he apologized for the incident. Sebastian casually nodded, signaling that it was all over.However, Sebastian did not forget to encourage Robert. "Don't think about it too much, Mr. Kate. We all have some awkward moments like that. The important thing is that we can learn from them." Sebastian smiled. "Besides, you don't need to feel guilty like this. It is my duty to eliminate any enemies that threaten those closest to me."

The next afternoon, the atmosphere at Skyzone Company felt more relaxed after some company business had been handled by Sebastian and Amanda. They left the office with light steps, entering a corridor crowded with workers who were hurrying home.Sebastian, having found relief in the successful resolution of the previous night's issue with Robert, bestowed a kind smile upon Amanda. "Now that it's all behind us, how are you feeling?" he inquired, his tone conveying genuine concern.Amanda, initially upholding a level of formality, reciprocated with a warm smile. "Sebastian, thank you. I was able to clarify everything with my mom, and surprisingly, she actually commended your courage," she revealed.Sebastian nodded in contentment upon hearing the positive update. Yet, his attention was swiftly redirected to the buzzing cell phone nestled in his pocket. Isabella, one of his personal assistants, conveyed her imminent arrival at Luxington Hill via helicopter to accompany Sebastian to the H

"Fortunately, we didn't discover any items with unclear origins from renowned artists that could artificially inflate their value," one of Tony's men reported. "It appears Master Cole may have lucked out in this instance. Conversely, we're unfortunate to have overlooked the double-check procedure for that longcase clock."Another member of the management team suggested, "Mr. Lennon, just in case, why don't we raise the price of all those items of unknown origin? It's the safest game we can play."Tony, his face flushed with anger, immediately moved towards his subordinate who had proposed the foul play. Without saying a word, he grabbed the man's shirt collar with surprising strength. The man was startled, his eyes bulged, and his mouth opened silently."Pay attention, there is absolutely no room for cheating in the Hidden Relics House. We will not tolerate it!" Tony snapped, his voice resonating throughout the room. The individuals in close proximity halted their activities, divertin
