Amanda continued, "Then, I felt bullets whizzing by my ears, but none of them hit my body. I was astonished and shocked at the same time.""I looked around and found you among the stiff bodies of my shooters. I don't understand how you were able to move so quickly, how the bullets didn't hit at all, and how the assassins were lying in front of you.""Sebastian, I need your explanation now. I had already sensed there was something extraordinary about you, but I'd never truly witnessed or experienced it firsthand, so I always questioned my own thoughts. Now that I've seen that magic with my own eyes, I won't doubt anymore."Amanda gave him an unusual look and then asked again, "Sebastian, you've held onto this secret for too long. Can you finally reveal it to me now?"Sebastian didn't answer right away, he stayed silent for longer and allowed his mind to work even harder.It looked like he couldn't avoid Amanda's questions anymore, but on the other hand, he also didn't want to reveal al
Landing at Luxington Hill International Airport, Sebastian and Thomas went straight to the secret Dragon Alliance headquarters located on the outskirts of the city.Arriving at the door of the building, Thomas immediately pressed the brake pedal of his car.Sebastian swung open the car door, yet before stepping out, he offered, "I'll be swift. If you fancy a moment to unwind right here, choose a spot that won't take you on a world tour. Crystal clear, Thomas?""Absolutely, Master," Thomas affirmed with a slight inclination of his head. "I'm headed over to this charming little café, just a hop, skip, and jump away from here. So, if you find yourself in urgent need, rest assured, I'll materialize there faster than you can bat an eyelash."Sebastian nodded in satisfaction before getting out of the car and entering the building.There, two of Dheon's men were already waiting for him. They immediately knelt down on one knee."Master Cole, you have arrived!" They exclaimed simultaneously.
On the brink of disclosing the truth, Kevin's tears flowed like that of a child fearing reprimand from his mother. "Master Cole, it was Tom's family who gave us the orders!"Dheon found himself the most astounded person in the room. He cast a glance at Sebastian before inquiring, "Master, the Tom family has already initiated their maneuvers to some extent."Sebastian nodded his head slowly. Although he had already guessed that these assassins came from the Tom family in the southern region, but hearing Kevin's confession with his own ears was still something surprising.Sebastian fixed Kevin with an intense gaze, a silent demand for truth in his eyes. "You brought up the Tom Family giving the order to take out Amanda, but you conveniently skipped over the details. We're not here to play games; my threats weren't some idle amusement."Tears streamed down Kevin's face once more. "Master Cole, if I spill the name of someone from the Tom Family, I'll be in for a world of unimaginable pain
Sebastian remarked, "I'll spare your life solely because you've been cooperative enough. My advice? Go explore more of the world before meeting your demise at the hands of your so-called friends."The fact that he would eventually end up being killed by his own group was something that deeply saddened Kevin, but he knew that Sebastian had already given it his best shot."Thank you so much, Master Cole! Despite my ill intentions toward one of your friends, you still chose to spare my life. This is the most profound blessing I've ever encountered. In another life, I'll unquestionably find a way to repay your kindness!" Kevin bowed as deeply as his weakened state allowed.Sebastian knew that the poor man's words were sincere, so he did not slap him again this time."Dheon, go ahead and blindfold this guy. Take him to one of those old city parks that's been deserted for ages. And from there on out, whatever happens to him is not your problem," Sebastian instructed.Dheon's head bobbed in
After three minutes, a soldier swung open the headquarters door and announced, "Captain Bennet, the troops are primed and good to go. You're clear to enter!"Sebastian gave a nod before finally crossing the threshold into the headquarters."We're ready for your commands, Captain!" The entire squad exclaimed upon catching sight of the silhouette of a robust male figure approaching. At that moment, everyone in the room assumed it was Dheon Bennet, their formidable captain.However, when Sebastian finally reached the hallway of the headquarters with enough lighting for his true face to be seen, the entire squad's bodies trembled violently.Their knees became very weak and now everyone was kneeling on one leg, facing Sebastian.The troop elder there frantically crawled under Sebastian's feet. The fierce look on his face disappeared, replaced by a feeling of fear and sadness. He looked like he was going to cry any minute."Master Cole, I beg your pardon for our lapse!" he exclaimed. "I tak
At three thirty in the morning, the Skyzone Company parking lot witnessed the final preparations of the Dragon Alliance special forces. The light of the small street lamp competed with the dim moonlight that reflected the silhouettes of the soldiers lined up neatly. In front, Sebastian and Dheon, the two figures who were the pillars of their strength, stood with authority.The early morning sky still carried a touch of darkness, and the air felt crisp after the cold night. The line of soldiers cast long shadows on the asphalt, creating a tense and energetic atmosphere.Sebastian, his black uniform accentuating an aura of leadership, stepped forward and gave a light greeting to his troops. The sound of their moon boots screeched through the air, creating a small boom that broke the silence of the night."Good morning, heroes!" Sebastian began, his smile radiating determination and courage. "Today, it's not just the Black Trigger Corps we're up against. We've got another heavyweight con
In the chaos of the firefight, Sebastian swiftly triggered his signature skill, [Time Wrap]. As though time itself had hit the brakes, he maneuvered with unparalleled speed, darting nimbly and imperceptibly across the battlefield.Sebastian chucked the assault weapon he usually toted, opting instead for a sleek folding knife retrieved from his suit pocket. It dawned on him that his phenomenal speed would be squandered with a run-of-the-mill firearm. Racing faster than a bullet, the rifle would merely become dead weight.With a lightning attack, Sebastian rushed towards the group of enemy soldiers near the entrance of the base. In an instant, more than twenty enemies fell without a word. His precise and sharp movements left the impression that something inhuman was happening.But Sebastian didn't want to attract too much attention. He killed with skill, but the casualties were relatively small, enough to confuse the enemy troops without arousing too much suspicion.A mysterious aura en
The Little Bird helicopter crossed the sky towards the main headquarters of the Dragon Alliance. The busy cityscape was visible from above, but the atmosphere inside the helicopter was tense.Among the prisoners being taken, the silence was like the stillness before a storm.Arriving at the main headquarters, Sebastian and Dheon ordered the prisoners to be immediately put into the underground cells. The footsteps of the Dragon Alliance troops could be heard pounding in the dark corridors as they brought the prisoners to their detention centers.Sebastian and Dheon then sat in the command room, waiting patiently. The room was filled with tension, and the tense atmosphere was palpable.Before long, the phone in Sebastian's room rang. He answered it calmly. A cold and stern voice greeted him from the other end, announcing himself as one of the top Yakuza officers operating in the country."You moved swiftly, Mr. Cole. I must say, I'm impressed," came the cold voice from the phone.Sebast

Visual after visual flooded Sebastian's mind, bringing back childhood memories buried deep in his memory. He saw himself, small and carefree, climbing a tree in a magnificent garden of paradise. The apples hanging from the branches seemed to be calling to him, and a happy smile was drawn on his face as his hands reached for the fruit that radiated joy.Playing hide-and-seek amongst the unimaginably beautiful flowers, Sebastian felt the vibrations of joy and warmth of the garden of paradise. These are not mere images of imagination, but true and tangible pieces of memories.A reminiscent smile played on Sebastian's lips as he recalled the days of playing hide-and-seek with his brothers in the heavenly garden. Raphael, the spirited elder sibling, consistently took on the role of the relentless pursuer, eagerly chasing them through the lush paradise. Charles, the astute middle brother, effortlessly weaved through the blossoming flowers of heaven. Meanwhile, Jonathan, the guileless younge
Mia chuckled, her response carrying a hint of amusement, "Truth be told, this hall doesn't technically fall under the category of your earthly dimensions. So, it's fair to say you've never really had a space this grand tucked away in your mansion."Sebastian didn't know what to say, but he eventually nodded his head.The enchanting fairy repeated, "Let's get into the ritual!""Ritual?" Sebastian furrowed his brow."Absolutely, the ritual!" Mia exclaimed with contagious excitement. "If it seems a bit fuzzy, no worries, just stick with me!"Sebastian sighed, then said, "Okay."Mia led Sebastian to the fountain in the center of the hall. Gently, she invited him to kneel with one foot beside her. Sebastian was confused, but with Mia's confidence, he chose to comply.Mia cupped her hands and her lips began to twitch in time with the faint sound of whispering. Sebastian could only glance at her curiously. He didn't fully understand what Mia was saying, but he chose to remain silent, not wan
Sebastian drew in a long, slow breath as the majestic golden door swung open before him. His eyes locked onto a sight so wondrous that words failed to capture its essence."Um, excuse me, but, like, seriously, who are you?"In the dimly lit room, a woman stood with a glory beyond any image of beauty he had ever known. As Sebastian gazed at her, he could not help but be amazed.The woman, indeed, seemed to have stepped out of the most beautiful legend or fantasy. Her long hair flowed like a river of pure gold, falling gently along her slender arms. The white dress clinging to her body was like moonlight embracing the beauty of the night. Her skin shone like a jewel, every inch giving off an impression of incredible grace and beauty.Her eyes, clear as the star-filled night sky, illuminated the room with a depth that was hard to measure. Embedded in her face, her small and perfect nose, and her lips which were pink like rose petals, all came together in perfect harmony.The woman sm
Yamato spat on the floor, fresh blood still dripping from the recently severed neck. His face was full of disappointment and anger."I'd prefer to meet my end than endure the humiliation dealt by someone like you!" he snapped, shattering the prevailing silence with his vehement voice.Sebastian gazed at her impassively. "The decision of your demise lies solely with you," he retorted icily, unaffected by the weight of his adversary's final words.Sebastian nodded his head and without even blinking, he immediately swung his sword to behead Yamato.Yamato's head rolled, passing over his own spit. Instantly, the entire room sank into extreme silence.A palpable mix of anger and defeat etched itself onto the faces of the once-confident Yakuza members. Sebastian, devoid of expression, fixed a penetrating gaze upon them."This is the outcome of his own decisions," Sebastian stated calmly. "I'm certain everyone is acquainted with the rules of this bout. Don't destroy your own honor by being
Yamato shot Sebastian a sharp, skeptical glance. "My guys mentioned witnessing you moving at an unreasonable speed like you've got superpowers straight out of a superhero flick."With a composed smile, Sebastian responded, "It could be a trick of the eyes. I'm just a regular human being, nothing extraordinary. Your words don't make sense."Yamato chuckled briefly, then adopted a serious tone. "We're going to make sure there are witnesses for this showdown. I'll have some of my guys and yours in this room."Sebastian nodded in understanding, though inwardly, he felt increasingly pinched. He knew, with his abilities that exceeded human limits, it would be difficult to hide them when tested by these people.Several Yakuza members entered the room with serious expressions, ready to watch the battle that was about to take place. The waiter carefully moved a large table, creating an open arena for their fight.Yamato stepped forward, positioning his katana beside his waist in a defiant mann
The limousine drove gracefully towards Luxington Hill shopping center, carrying Sebastian who was surrounded by an aura of elegance. Thomas, the chief aide, handled the steering wheel with care, while Sebastian sat in the back with his sharp gaze hidden behind sunglasses.When the limousine pulled into the parking lot of the Jade Lotus Restaurant, the car door was swiftly opened by one of Dheon's men. Sebastian stepped out with steady steps, exuding the charm of an unwavering leader.Five of Dheon's special soldiers immediately set up a formation around him, giving the impression of security and authority. Even without weapons or bulletproof vests, their courage was like a living fortress ready to face any threat.With a respectful gesture, the soldiers escorted Sebastian to the restaurant's entrance, ensuring the leader's safety.At the doorway, Dheon greeted Sebastian solemnly. He informed him that he had spotted suspicious movements around the restaurant and took quick action by se
Driving his Lamborghini sports car, Sebastian arrived at Skyzone Company just as the sun was about to fade into the western horizon. As the majority of the workforce had already departed the office, those who lingered ceased their activities the instant Sebastian walked in. A hush swept through the office, freezing time for a fleeting moment. The employees offered a salute to their iconic CEO.Sebastian merely nodded in acknowledgment and proceeded towards the company cafeteria. A gravity-laden expression etched across his face, hinting at the gravity of an impending matter.At a cozy corner table in the cafeteria, Amanda sat down with two cups of coffee. One was a vanilla latte, her own favorite, while the other was an espresso, according to Sebastian's taste. The girl stared at the entrance with an enthusiastic look, and when Sebastian appeared, a small smile graced her face.Sebastian moved toward the table, his steps deliberate and measured. With minimal verbal exchange, he took
