Takeshi gave the signal, and the match began. William deftly set up his stance and fighting stance like a real samurai. His bokken weapon moved quickly, slicing through the air in sharp, precise strikes. Just as Takeshi called out for the match to begin, William immediately attacked Sebastian with quick and deadly blows.Sebastian, who had been standing unremarkably while holding his bokken in his right hand, faced William's attacks calmly.In his heart, he said, "I wonder what would happen if right now, I didn't use my special ability, [Time Wrap], and faced this young man with basic strength. If I lose, maybe I don't need to continue this training."William's bokken moved quickly, and the first strike rained down on Sebastian. The morning sun coming in through the dojo window reflected lightly on the blades. In an instant, Sebastian dodged swiftly, his body dancing with surprising precision on the dojo floor. The fine dust raised by his movements floated in the air, creating the i
Meanwhile, the dojo students who witnessed this incident could only look on in shock. They knew that Takeshi was a highly respected instructor and was respected for his calm demeanor in any situation, and to see him get angry like this was rare.Some of them began to exchange glances, trying to understand what had just happened.One student whispered to his friend, "What happened just now? This isn't Takeshi Sensei's usual demeanor."His friend replied, "I don't know either. But it seems William has violated the dojo's code of conduct severely. What did he just do? He's been talking a lot about how a samurai should behave, but his actions don't reflect his words at all. Damn it, all this is just bullshit."One of them said, "I don't know who that young man is, but he must have a very strong talent. I know that he's not lying that he's only ever studied, ah I mean watched, samurai from movies before. Seeing him defeat William like that makes me feel nervous. He's so talented without ev
When Sebastian left Takeshi Ryu Dojo with Dheon, he received a message from Amanda.[Sir, this afternoon a daughter of a big family in the south applied for a job as an accountant. She is my old friend. Since we have a personal relationship, I believe it is essential to maintain the fairness of this admission process. Thus, I would like to request your participation in the interview and assessment process. This ensures that the admission process remains impartial and objective and avoids any potential conflicts of interest. Thank you for your understanding.].Sebastian immediately replied to the message[Sure, Amanda. I will take on the role in the interview process for that applicant. When can we arrange a meeting with him?"]Ding![She's here, sir. The sooner you get here, the better.]Although it seemed like a trivial job for a chief director to do, Sebastian didn't think much of it as long as he could still enjoy it.Besides, he also wanted to take care of some other important thi
After ten minutes had passed, Amanda returned to her room, looking anxious."Sir, what can I do for you?" she asked with concern.Sebastian looked at Amanda seriously. "Amanda, I want you to understand that although I feel Valerie is a competent candidate, there is something she is hiding from us. I'm not sure what it is, but I feel the need to remain vigilant."Amanda nodded her head. "I understand, sir. What do you want to do?"Sebastian replied, "I want you to monitor her movements while she is in town and working for our company. Try to gain further insight into what she is hiding, but do so carefully and without unduly violating her privacy. The safety and operational continuity of this company is paramount."Amanda took notes. "I will endeavor to conduct careful surveillance, sir. We will make sure that everything continues to run smoothly."Sebastian nodded his head in agreement. "Thank you, Amanda. We must protect this company from potential risks."After the short conversatio
In the extremely luxurious Celestial Domain, Sebastian immediately received a warm welcome from Charles, his second younger brother. Charles was an authoritative man with a friendly smile on his face, and he welcomed Sebastian sincerely."Welcome, Sebastian," Charles said as he held out his hand for a handshake. "It's good to see you again."Sebastian smiled back at his brother's warm greeting. "Thank you, Charles. I'm glad to be here."Charles then introduced Sebastian to some of the domestic staff on guard in the Celestial Domain, showing the friendly attitude and hospitality that was the culture in the Heavenly family."They will help you with everything you need during your visit," Charles told Sebastian. "If you need anything or there's anything we can do for you, don't hesitate to let us know."They finally arrived at the entrance to the great hall. Even for Sebastian, who was used to luxury, the sight took his breath away. This hall was the family meeting place, where importan
Amanda drove Valerie to her luxury villa in Equator Valley, which Sebastian had given her. It would be Valerie's home for a while, and Amanda was happy to share it with her longtime friend. As they entered the magnificent villa, Valerie couldn't help but be amazed."Wow, Amanda, this is amazing!" she exclaimed as she looked around. "You're really lucky to have a villa like this."Amanda smiled, feeling proud of her ownership. "Thank you, Valerie. I know that we always dreamed of having a place like this, and now, at least you can enjoy it for a while.""You know, Amanda, you won one step ahead of me," Valerie said. "I don't even have a villa this beautiful yet."Amanda just laughed shyly. "Oh, Val, you'll get it someday. You work hard and smart. Nothing is impossible for you."They went inside, and alone under the covers, Amanda played a romance movie on her laptop. The room was decorated with soft lighting, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. They both felt like they were back in th
At that moment, Amanda began to look at Valerie suspiciously. Her eyes radiated distrust, and Valerie felt like she might have revealed too much. However, she couldn't back out now.Amanda finally asked carefully, "Valerie, what makes you think that way? Is there something that makes you doubt Skyzone Company?"Valerie felt a little nervous, but no matter what she had to answer calmly so as not to arouse suspicion. "I just heard some rumors, Amanda. People say that the Dragon Alliance is taking out big businessmen who are considered 'dragons' in Luxington Hill. People say that the Dragon Alliance is eliminating big businessmen who are considered 'dragons' in Luxington Hill. And I think Skyzone Company might fall into their calculation."Amanda shook her head firmly. The expression on her beautiful face turned more serious. "Valerie, listen to me, that's impossible. Skyzone Company is a completely legitimate and transparent surface company. We have no ties to the mafia or any crimina
After studying for 9 hours, Sebastian finally closed the book cover.His eyes were slightly red from not getting any sleep at all. A few blue veins were also protruding from his forehead as he used all of his thinking power for the full nine hours without stopping.After that, Sebastian ran a hand through his hair roughly."Mia, tell me if what's written in this damn tome is true."Mia appeared before him. However, judging by the puzzled look on her face, this little fairy seemed unable to give Sebastian a satisfactory answer."For this matter, I must first ask your father, for I do not understand," Mia said. "However, your father is currently busy, and it will likely take some more time to get an answer."Sebastian looked dissatisfied. He felt as if he had been thrown into a world of mystery, with no clear clue as to who he was. He then sighed deeply."Mia, although from what it says in the Encyclopedia of Celestia, I am part of the immortal Heavenly Family from hundreds of years ago
