Sebastian took the right seat, with Thomas occupying the left seat as the captain of this flight."Headset on, Master," Thomas said as he signaled Sebastian to put on his headset.After Thomas pressed a few buttons, the helicopter's propellers began to turn and the engine roared.Waiting for a few moments for the propellers to spin fast enough to gain momentum, Thomas finally pulled the lever and took off."Master, do you want a smooth or fast flight?"The question hinted that if Sebastian was in a hurry, he wouldn't get a comfortable flight.So, since he had already gotten enough adrenaline today, Sebastian chose the former option."Make it smooth, Thomas. I want to enjoy the city lights."Nodding his head, Thomas began a very smooth flight and flew low enough for his master to enjoy the city more closely.Sebastian let out a long breath. Luxington Hill was so calm, it was too much of a contrast to the situation he had gone through earlier at Los Tempest headquarters which was full o
Sunlight entered through the cracks in the window blinds and shone directly into Sebastian's eyes, forcing him to wake up immediately.As he looked around, his gaze fell on a plate placed on his bed. On the plate was a plate of sandwiches that looked fresh and tempting."Strange," Sebastian thought. "Who left this here?"However, before he could search for an answer, the door to his room opened slowly. A beautiful shadow appeared in the doorway, and Sebastian could hardly believe his eyes when he saw Amanda gracefully enter the room."Good morning, Sebastian," Amanda greeted him with a friendly smile.Sebastian, who was still confused by the presence of the sandwich on his bed, looked at Amanda in surprise. "What's going on here, this... sandwich?"Amanda nodded and replied, "Yes. I thought you must be tired after last night's great battle. I made this sandwich for you and brought a glass of milk. Hope you like it."Sebastian was surprised. "This is from you? Shouldn't Julia or Grace
"If you object to my request on that one, you can refuse it, Sebastian." Robert showed a sad smile. "Mr. Kate, you will be humiliated there..." Sebastian went awry."That's for sure. What's more, Amanda is actually of marriageable age. Gosh, they will set her up with their unmarried sons."Robert rubbed his face. He hated the idea of every clubhouse member's son-in-law being present at tonight's meeting.Meanwhile, Sebastian was becoming increasingly indecisive. Should he let Amanda be set up as a matchmaker by the sons of the big businessmen in Luxington Hill? What if Amanda suddenly accepted the match because she felt that she should get married?Robert broke the silence, "Well, Sebastian, you don't have to think about it anymore. I'll hire a young man from an online dating app to act as my son-in-law."Sebastian's eyes widened. Quickly, he asked, "Mr. Kate, what if a random person can be an actor to be your actual son-in-law? Won't that cause problems in the future if Amanda has
Sebastian let out a long breath with a very heavy feeling.If Amanda was saying that Valerie had other intentions that were much bigger and more important than just curiosity, that meant Sebastian had a new enemy threat.Honestly, Sebastian felt exhausted after facing De Angelis and Los Tempests. He had experienced firsthand that large-scale battles were not at all as beautiful as in action movies.Quite the opposite, battles were ugly and pure hell!If he had to face one more big enemy from Valerie's side, Sebastian did not know what he should do.However, in the end, he said, "I want you to keep an eye on her, but don't make any suspicious movements or gestures. I want to investigate Valerie with help from my intel team."Amanda became concerned. "Sir, are you going to hurt Valerie or her family?"Sebastian thought for a moment, before answering, "For the time being, as long as Valerie does not show any aggressive behavior, I will not harm her or her family. But if circumstances war
"You have a very good talent, Isabella!" Sebastian clapped his hands. "I underestimated you by saying that before, I'm so sorry."Isabella shook her head quickly. Then she said uneasily, "You need not apologize, Master. You never underestimated me. If you didn't believe in my painting ability, you definitely wouldn't have built a gallery for me. So please do not say such things, or I will continue to feel guilty."Sebastian just smiled. "I bring you a good news, Isabella. Zhang Daqian's painting has returned and will soon be on display at Cole's Gallery."Isabella was quite surprised by that statement. But on the other hand, she was also confused. Isabella stared at Zhang Daqian's painting with widened eyes. "Master, why is that painting in your hands now? Didn't it already sell for the fantastic price of 200 million dollars?"Sebastian smiled and nodded. "True, but it seems that the new owner didn't treat this painting well, so I decided to take it back."Isabella was dumbfounded. "
Four minutes of flying quickly brought Thomas' helicopter into the Luxington Hill area. Thomas reported to Sebastian, "Master, do you want to land at Luxington Hill airport or directly over Cole's Gallery?" Given the small size of the helicopter, Sebastian ordered, "Go straight to Cole's Mansion, Thomas. We'll land on the street."Thirty seconds later, the helicopter was heading towards the gallery, and Sebastian could see a crowd of people in brightly colored vests gathering around Cole's Gallery. Thomas told him that it would be impossible to land on the street because of the crowd, but Sebastian ordered him to land anyway.As the helicopter got closer, the crowd was startled and scattered away from the streets in obvious fear. Sebastian jumped down from the cockpit quickly.Thomas hesitated for a moment, "Master, perhaps I should stay here with you. Things don't look safe down below."Sebastian insisted, "I've faced far more perilous situations than this, Thomas. Depart immediatel
All the policemen there immediately lowered their guns in fear. They had wanted to do that all along, but they never dared without orders from their captain.The police captain asked Dheon, "Master Bennet, can you enlighten me on what I did wrong that you believe my leg deserves to be broken like this? I will make every effort to rectify it!"Without hesitation, Dheon promptly stomped on the police captain's broken leg. He said angrily, "You're still wondering what you did wrong? You prawn brain! You pointed a gun at Sebastian Cole, who has a very close relationship with the head of the Dragon Alliance!"Sebastian breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Dheon had done his best to find a reason why he and his troops were protecting Sebastian directly.If it wasn't for Dheon's words, people would start to suspect that he was the chairman of the very mysterious Dragon Alliance."Master... Master Bennet, I didn't know this before." The police captain's entire body trembled violently in ex
While Dheon called the police to take care of the remaining extremist environmentalists, Sebastian entered the museum and saw the chaos that had taken place there.He shook his head several times with a pitying look on his face.He saw that all the paintings that had been targeted for vandalism were Isabella's artworks.Some of them were still protected by frames, but not a few were completely damaged.Sebastian could also see Isabella looking at her paintings with tears in her eyes. He decided to walk over to the girl and put his arm around her shoulders."All this must be very hard for you," Sebastian said. "I regret not putting more guards in the gallery. I thought everything would go beautifully, just like the other days."Isabella wiped away the tears that were gently rolling down her cheeks, not wanting to show her weak side in front of the master.The beauty said, "You don't need to harbor any regrets, Master; no one could have predicted events like this. Besides, I'm unharmed.
