Sebastian and Kate's family thoroughly enjoyed their three-day vacation at the beautiful and secure villa. Without any distractions, they were able to relax completely. Amanda and her parents felt calmer and happier at the villa, despite the surprising start to the trip.They explored the natural beauty of the surroundings, enjoyed the sparkling swimming pool, and explored the exotic restaurants in the area. Amanda was grateful for Sebastian's concern for her family's safety and felt very comfortable during the vacation.When it came time to return home, they decided to take a first-class commercial flight back to their country, even though Sebastian had a private jet. The reason was to keep them safe. By using a commercial flight, Sebastian's enemies would think a thousand times before trying to do something daring on such a famous airplane.Sebastian communicated with the security team about their return trip. All security measures were increased, and they ensured that the entire f
Drake finally began to explain in detail and slowly, "Sebastian, the enemy we are facing is the most notorious underground cartel group, called Los Tempest. They are an international criminal organization involved in various types of illegal activities, from drug trafficking to money laundering. They have a very powerful and very dangerous network."Sebastian frowned. He often searched for information about underground groups in this country, but he had never once heard of Los Tempest. "The name Los Tempest is very new to me."Drake explained further, "Los Tempest is not actually from this country, but they have allies here. Perhaps, Raphael's business has threatened their allies, and that's why Los Tempest intervened. They are a very cunning organization, Sebastian. They can move without leaving too noticeable a trail."Sebastian then asked again, trying to grasp the scale of the forces they faced. "Drake, if we were to compare Los Tempest to De Angelis, how would it compare?"Drake
"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
