"That means... you like me wearing short skirts like this?" asked Amanda, her smile looking very innocent, but with a wry smile, Sebastian knew that Amanda was faking her expression.For that reason, Sebastian chose the safest answer:"Of course, I like whatever you wear. However, with certain clothes, it might not be appropriate to show them to other men. You know, as I've said before, not all men have good thoughts."Amanda smiled happily, "Yes sir. I'll just wear a short skirt like this in front of you all the time!""All the time?!" Imagining Amanda constantly wearing skimpy clothes in front of him, Sebastian felt blood running down his nose. However, he quickly chased away such thoughts. "No, you don't need to wear a miniskirt like that all the time. Wear it only when you feel the need. By the way, let's forget about this for a moment."Sebastian then thrust the company's agreement letters in front of Amanda."These papers are the approval of the merger for Skyzone Company. It is
While Sebastian was checking the order report sent by Rachel, he received a message from Isabella.[Master Cole, I'm sorry to interrupt your time, but I must inform you that tonight someone very important is coming to Cole's Gallery. He said he was interested in the Zhang Daqian painting you have and would like to speak with you specifically."]Sebastian frowned.An important person? What kind of person is he?The last time Sebastian received a visit from someone interested in Zhang Daqian's painting, it ended in chaos without any good results.The painting hadn't even been sold until now.Was the person who was coming this time serious or had other intentions besides buying the painting?Either way, Sebastian felt that he should know in advance who the "important person" was who wanted to see him.So, he replied to Isabella's message:[Who is the important person you are referring to?]Isabella's reply was quick.[I don't know. However, she said so in her letter]Sebastian frowned. W
Once the call was connected, Sebastian spoke immediately:"Jake, are you coming with me to the meeting tonight at Cole's Gallery?"The old man's voice sounded confused as he replied, "Master Cole, how did you find out about the meeting? I was planning to come alone without you.""Of course, I found out from Isabella," Sebastian replied lightly."Gosh... that girl is stubborn."Sebastian countered, "I should have known about the letter from that mysterious person, Jake. You don't have to blame anyone for this.""Master, in tonight's meeting, you don't need to attend, it's too dangerous for you. Let me come forward to face the challenger. I will show you who the Dragon Alliance is!""Are you sure, Jake?" Sebastian gave a mocking tone. "You never know who will come to Cole's Gallery tonight. He might be a martial arts expert, or even bring a dozen assault rifle troops, while you'll be going alone without any help from me or Dheon. If you are brave enough to die for the honor of the Drago
That night, Sebastian, Jake Wilson, and Dheon Bennet walked into Cole's Gallery with sure steps.Unusually, the place that had remained busy even at night was very quiet. Only about a dozen visitors were there.Sebastian met one of the gallery guards, and asked, "Did you finish what I asked you to do?"Slightly startled, the guard nodded his head as he replied, "Of course, Master Cole. In accordance with your orders, I have cleared this place of visitors early.""Is there any protest from the visitor?""Yes, Master. Some visitors protested that the gallery was closing earlier than the usual schedule. And, in accordance with your orders, they received another ticket to visit tomorrow."Sebastian nodded in satisfaction. "Your job is done, you can leave this place now. Don't come back here at least until tomorrow morning. Maybe it will become a dangerous place.""Yes, Master. Thank you very much for your kindness!" After the gallery guard left, Sebastian turned to Dheon."Dheon, check."
Dheon snorted like a very, very angry bull."This time, you survived because of Master Cole's generosity. However, if you dare say any more nonsense like that, I will cut out your tongue and send it to Los Tempest. Anyone knows that Dheon Bennet, the underground lion, never fears death."Dheon placed his pistol on the table as a signal that he was not playing around with his words."Well, I salute your oceanic courage, Dheon Bennet. But to my ears, your words are nothing more than nonsense."Sebastian did not want Dheon's temper to be provoked again, so he directly asked the young man from Los Tempest very sharply and coldly:"Tell me the purpose of your visit immediately. All this small talk is starting to make me feel sick."The young Los Tempest delivery boy raised a frown on his forehead before replying, "Los Tempest wants you and your entire family to stop aggressive business moves. We will not tolerate anyone intent on threatening our sovereignty and dominance."Sebastian gave h
The young man from Los Tempest left the room, while the two treacherous Dheon soldiers removed Zhang Daqian's painting from the hanger and began to carry it out of the room.However, just before they left the room, Dheon called out to them harshly:"Wow, you two absolute geniuses! Are all the vast fortunes, luxurious mansions, flashy cars, and those delightful extra perks I generously bestowed upon you still insufficient to satisfy your insatiable greed?!"One of the soldiers sneered without hesitation, "Oh, bravo, what an astonishing revelation! Yes, you've been so magnanimous with your riches, it's true. But, oh dear, you've always been such a stickler about us having any fun with the fairer sex. Meanwhile, Los Tempest tempts us with a bevy of ten ravishing ladies for every single mission we pull off – now, isn't that a rather remarkable contrast to your modest rewards?"Without another word, the two soldiers left.Dheon rubbed his face in frustration, he said weakly, "Master, plea
At his villa in Luxington Hill, Sebastian held a limited meeting with Drake.They discussed anything related to intelligence on Dheon's army."I could never have foreseen that betrayal would emanate from within Dheon's military ranks, particularly among those soldiers who had already amassed substantial wealth under your leadership. Consequently, I refrained from instructing my team to conduct any investigations into Dheon's army. It pains me to admit, Master, that I bear a share of responsibility for Jake Wilson's demise."There was more or less a tone of regret from Drake. However, at such a crucial point like this, Sebastian did not want his people to lose spirit and hope.The Tempest was strong in every aspect, so the only thing the Dragon Alliance could rely on right now was morale.If that didn't exist, they would lose heavily to the enemy."I don't want to hear those words come out of your mouth again," Sebastian sternly interjected, "I implore you not to utter those words once
At the same time, Sebastian went to the Takeshi Ryu Dojo.His presence is quite anticipated by the other students. They found him both amazing and terrifying at the same time.Takeshi immediately welcomed him, especially in a closed room. "You came here, Sebastian. It's been a while since you last visited."Sebastian nodded his head. "I have not trained here for a long time, sensei. I deserve punishment if you wish it."Even though Sebastian was the most powerful and influential figure in the country, in front of his teacher, he still had to show respect.In fact, Mia advised him not to try to dominate Takeshi, at least until Sebastian's abilities exceeded his own."I won't punish you. You're... just too special."Sebastian didn't want to argue, so he just nodded his head."Did you come to train, son?" asked Takeshi."Can't say that." Sebastian shook his head. "I'm here to borrow a training book.""Training book?" Takeshi's forehead wrinkled. "What do you want to do with this dojo tra
