Sebastian finally decided to start a conversation, trying to bring Rachel out of her deep sadness. "Rachel," he said softly, "I know this is a difficult night for you. What happened at the Hidden Relics House was very unfair, and I'm truly sorry that you had to experience it."Rachel nodded with mixed feelings. "I don't know why they could be so cruel, Sebastian. I feel like everyone there has suddenly become a monster to me."Sebastian took Rachel's hair and stroked it gently. "People in this world can be so cruel sometimes, especially when they feel threatened or jealous. They try to bring us down to make themselves feel better. But you have to remember that you're not alone. I'm here for you, and I'm not going to let them hurt you anymore."Rachel appreciated Sebastian's words of support. "Thank you, Sebastian. I don't know what I would do without you."Sebastian smiled gently. "You don't need to thank me. Now, let's talk about something more cheerful. Have you ever seen this lake
At dinner time, Tony went to Cole's Mansion to fulfill Sebastian's call.Upon entering the meeting room, his body trembled slightly at the sight of Sebastian sitting behind the desk with an intimidating gaze.Tony has never before felt this kind of feeling of being oppressed by another's aura.Absolutely terrifying!"You can sit there, Tony. Make yourself comfort. I won't eat you today." Sebastian noticed Tony's tension, so he tried to make the atmosphere more relaxed."Sure thing, sir," Tony said as he pulled out a chair for himself."I won't mince words," Sebastian continued. "Hidden Relics House has defrauded many collectors by selling fake antiques. On top of that, they even mistreated the employees who worked there. Do you know anything about that?"Tony shook his head firmly, "Sir, although I am part of Hidden Relics House's management team, I have limited authority and information in the auction house. So that thing you mentioned, I don't know about it, sir."Sebastian nodded h
In the afternoon, Sebastian received a call from Tony."Sir," Tony said, "I've just spoken to Jake Wilson, and he's agreed to come to your house for tea tomorrow. He's very excited to make your acquaintance."Sebastian smiled with satisfaction. "What a great news, Tony. Thank you for your help. Do you have other details?"Tony replied, "Wilson says his car ride will probably take 2 hours, given the distance between your house and his. But I have another suggestion, sir. What if we go to Luxington Airport and you can pick her up with your helicopter? That would save time and effort."Sebastian thought for a moment. The idea sounded efficient and also allowed him to show the luxury side of his business. "That's a good suggestion, Tony. Do it that way. I'll get the helicopter ready right now."After hanging up, Sebastian called Thomas, one of his trusted staff. "Thomas, we will have an important guest, Jake Wilson. Please prepare the helicopter to go to Luxington Hill. And more, I would
"No, I'm not. I am offering you the outer membership of the Dragon Alliance. Whether you accept it or not, is up to your choice." Sebastian shook his head. As usual, he disliked small talk."Absolutely, sir!" Wilson did not want Sebastian to change his mind, so he hurriedly took the membership card."Congratulations, you're now one of us." Sebastian smiled. "Although your current status is that of an outer member, there are some rules and obligations that you must abide by."Sebastian then explained some of these rules and obligations to Wilson.Outside members were not required to contribute to the alliance, but if they wished to do so anyway, it would be considered a plus.An outside member had to behave himself whether or not he was carrying the Dragon Alliance's name. At all times, he must not behave arbitrarily.Outer members must be prepared to defend fellow Dragon Alliance members in the face of physical or verbal attacks. Attacking one member of the Dragon Alliance, no matte
Julia continued, "One day, a young woman with a dozen bodyguards entered Grace's shop. Without further ado, they destroyed the entire contents of Grace's boutique and set fire to the expensive clothes there."At this point, it appeared that the wrinkles on Sebastian's forehead were growing."Before they left Grace's boutique, the young lady said that within seven days, all Bella Boutiques in the country must close." Julia wrung her fingers anxiously. "Sir, tomorrow is the last day of what she specified. We have prepared several trucks to pull all the goods into the warehouse and close our boutiques."Taking a sip of his wine, Sebastian looked at Julia and Grace calmly."Why didn't you report this matter to me earlier?" he asked later."Sir, we thought you wouldn't have enough time and attention to deal with such a small matter," Grace replied."What are you saying? I have a big mission to spread my dominance throughout the country. Everyone must respect the name Sebastian Cole." Sebas
Ding![System warning: The Clark family does not threaten your safety or honor on a serious level. She just destroyed one of your assistant's boutiques that didn't contribute much to you. You just need to pay her back in kind or double what Sophia Clark did. Going more, and you'll be penalized by the system]Sebastian gulped. If the system was even one second late, then it would immediately send Dheon to destroy the Clark Family residence, and he would be immediately penalized.Originally, he thought that the system would give him bonus God Points for taking revenge"Do not be reckless, Dheon." He waved his arm. "There's no need to destroy their residence, it's not worth what they've done. You only need to destroy his two boutiques, that's more than enough."Dheon tempered his anger, then replied obediently, "Very well, sir. Tonight, when the boutique is deserted, I will personally lead the attack."Sebastian nodded slowly, and added, "You must remember something, Dheon. This time, do
That morning, Julia, Grace, and Rose left early to review the preparations at their respective boutiques.For the first time in their history, they decided to unite their forces and work together.At ten o'clock, they would gather at the biggest branch of Grace's Bella Boutique to announce the name change.However, until now, no one but the three of them knew the new name. In fact, Sebastian didn't know either.Thomas acted as their personal guard and driver, he asked Sebastian for permission to leave, "Sir, is it okay if I leave you now?"Sebastian nodded. "Yes. You go. Make sure they are all right.""Then, what about you?" Thomas asked once again."I can take care of myself."Thomas complied and left Sebastian's presence. He chose a limousine car large enough for the three girls to have enough personal space, Thomas still skeptical of the possibility of a fight between the girls. Knowing that they had already left, Sebastian couldn't help but smile wryly."After they leave, who's g
At nine in the morning, Sebastian drove to Grace's Bella Boutique just 20 kilometers from Grandeur Springs to attend the unveiling of the boutique's new name.Since he was bringing no one but himself on this trip, Sebastian opted for a sports car as his ride.His choice fell on the Bugatti Chiron, a high-specification sports car that would impress anyone.The Bugatti Chiron has a massive power output of around 1577 horsepower. With that much power, the Chiron can go 0-100 kph in just 2.2 seconds!The price of the car is not quite 6 million dollars, quite expensive for someone who uses air transportation more often than land, but its appearance managed to make Sebastian fall in love at first sight when he visited the showroom with Thomas.Entering a very quiet highway, Sebastian pushed the car a little harder.Hell, he manages to reach 400 kph in just a few seconds!Sebastian can also feel the G-force sensation which is enough to make his heart beat stronger.As he was about to arrive
