Sebastian pondered for a moment over the advice from Drake and Dheon. He knew that choosing the right time to launch the attack was a crucial step in their plan. Finally, he nodded in agreement."Fine, we will attack at sundown," Sebastian said determinedly. "That will give us the necessary tactical advantage."Sebastian then turned to Dheon, "When can our troops be deployed in battle, Dheon?"Dheon replied with confidence, "Our forces are always projected to be ready for battle whenever necessary, Master Cole. We have emergency procedures that can mobilize them quickly. When the sun sets, they will be in a combat-ready position."After timing the attack at sunset, Sebastian felt there was something important he needed to do. He immediately took out his cell phone and called Gilbert, the Dragon Alliance's head of security."Gilbert," Sebastian spoke in a firm voice as soon as Gilbert picked up his call. "I need you to call an impromptu meeting immediately about the planned attack this
At sunset, the Little Bird helicopters arrived on the southern side of Villa Selene island. The Little Bird's characteristic of having a small body made it easy for the troops to land on the small terrain. The Dragon Alliance troops disembarked from the helicopters quickly, before the 10 Little Bird units left them to return to the Skyzone Company.Dheon, who was at the forefront with Sebastian, gave orders to the entire Dragon Alliance army firmly and efficiently.Dheon stood tall, his machine gun slung over his shoulder, and he spoke in a calm yet authoritative voice to his troops lined up neatly around him. "We will move towards Villa Selene in a three-group formation. In the first group, you will be Sebastian's guide to the center of Villa Selene. The second group will protect any workers we encounter. The third group gets ready to deal with the incoming private army. Remember, preserve the lives of the workers if possible, but we will not allow them to get in our way."They mov
The Dragon Alliance troops celebrated their victory vigorously. They fired many bullets into the night sky, creating a series of small explosions that broke the silence of the night. Cheers and shouts of joy echoed around the now-safe Villa Selene.Dheon and several other squad members were cheering loudly. They celebrated their victory with high spirits. However, this was not the case with Sebastian. His face remained solemn and stern as if he wasn't fully able to feel the happiness.Sebastian immediately checked for casualties from their side. He checked every member of his army carefully, making sure that everyone was in good shape. He knew that this victory did not come without sacrifice, and the safety of his team was the top priority.Dheon approached Sebastian, seeing the worried look on his master's face. "Master Cole, what are you thinking?"Sebastian took a deep breath before answering, "I want to make sure that we have no casualties on our side. What about the rest of the t
Just like the time when the Dragon Alliance forces defeated De Angelis in the past, the news of the Dragon Alliance's attack on Villa Selene last night shocked the entire country.This time, the response from bystanders was not very favorable. They did not fully agree with the Dragon Alliance chief's decision to attack Villa Selene while destroying a private army there.Reginald Whitman, one of the major figures in the south, shook his head softly as he heard this news from one of his intel teams."Father, this Dragon Alliance leader seems too dangerous," said a beautiful young woman beside him. "Are... are you sure to go ahead with our plan?""Valerie, I am confident that the Dragon Alliance has good reason for their actions," Reginald replied. "Besides, right now we don't have many options. If we don't have a close relationship with that mysterious Dragon Alliance chief, we might just become their next prey.""But, Father, I don't have a strong belief..." Valerie sighed fretfully. "
After ending the macabre show with Victor Thornfield, Sebastian got up from the chair and coldly strode out of the room. He took a pack of cigarettes from his coat pocket and lit them with a small flame he had taken from the table next to the bed. As usual, there was no sign of remorse or any other negative emotion on Sebastian's face after committing a cold-blooded act.Dheon walked right next to him. His sharp, trusting eyes looked at Sebastian. "What do we do next, Master Cole?"Sebastian inhaled his cigarette smoke slowly before answering. "It is time for me to stop taking lessons from Lebron, my boxing teacher. I am beginning to feel that his boxing techniques may not be enough to face the challenges ahead."Dheon nodded in understanding. "What do you want to learn next?"Sebastian pondered for a moment, then said, "I think perhaps I need to learn the art of swordplay. It would give me an added edge in battle."Dheon smiled and nodded his head. "A sword is a very deadly weapon. B
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
