The same night after Sebastian returned home, he immediately called Dheon Bennet.The dial tone continues to ring. Dheon hadn't picked up yet."It's already past twelve," Sebastian said. "However, Dheon should pick up my call soon."The dial tone finally stopped and Dheon's anxious voice suddenly appeared."Hello, Sebastian," Dheon's voice rang out on the other end, and he immediately apologized for the delay. "I'm sorry, brother. I was just busy taking care of some new men who were just recruited into the Deathbone Corps, and I left my phone far enough away." "Boss, these guys come from difficult backgrounds. They look skinny, malnourished, and most of them have never held a weapon before. I'm afraid they're not prepared to be directly deployed into a high-risk area like the east coast.""You're right, Dheon. We can't risk their lives," Sebastian replied seriously. "I want them to undergo intensive training at our secret training facility outside the city. There, they will be give
"F*ck! What is it?"The glass of their car began to shatter as several bullets pierced it. Luckily, none of them hit Sebastian.Quickly, Dheon turned the steering wheel and pressed the accelerator to leave the dangerous area.However, their relief was short-lived. A barrage of gunfire continued to hit the back of their car, signaling that the shooters were following them from behind and also using the car for pursuit."We have to get out of their way!" exclaimed Dheon with teary eyes but remained focused on driving. He tried to dodge the bullets that kept chasing them while looking for a way out of the increasingly trapped situation.Sebastian, who remained calm in the passenger seat, quickly pulled a pistol from behind the seat and aimed it at the enemy car. With incredible speed and precision, he fired several times at the tires of the pursuing car, attempting to make them lose control. However, the effort was only marginally successful, as the enemy car seemed to be steadfastly pur
Sebastian and Dheon arrived at the villa safely despite some minor injuries.Luckily, Julia had some medical skills. She quickly bandaged the wounds on the two men and prevented them from developing fatal infections."You two are lucky to have only minor injuries," Julia said in a worried tone. "But we have to make sure these wounds won't cause any further problems. You must rest and keep the wounds free of dirt. Master, I request permission to go to the back and get some more medical supplies."Meanwhile, Sebastian turned off his phone in annoyance."What's wrong, Sebastian?"Sebastian looked at Dheon with a face full of tension, "We suffered a losing battle with the pursuers. They managed to seize all 500 weapons in the truck."Dheon was surprised to hear the news, but he nodded his head in understanding. "That means they have our weapons now?"Sebastian nodded regretfully, "Yes, they have them all. We have to be careful because those weapons can be used against us."Dheon grasped S
A few hours later, Dheon's car enters Sebastian's villa. Several heavily armed soldiers were alerted as soon as the gate opened.Dheon got out of the car with a decisive gesture, followed by several soldiers ready to secure Drake Falcon. They walked towards the entrance of the villa cautiously, realizing that the situation could become unpredictable.Drake Falcon got out of the car with a calm and confident demeanor. He was a tall, thin figure with a sharp gaze that exuded intelligence and decisiveness. The prison clothes he wore could not hide the charismatic charm he possessed.After entering the villa, Dheon led Drake Falcon to the room where Sebastian was waiting. The room was filled with cigarette smoke and the pungent aroma of whiskey. Sebastian looked relaxed with his feet on the table and sharp eyes watching Drake's arrival."Greetings, Sebastian," Sebastian greeted in a low voice.Drake returned the greeting with a brief nod, "Drake.""We need you, Drake," Sebastian said, get
After two weeks had passed since Drake Falcon's recruitment into the intel team, Sebastian and Dheon were again waiting at the suburban harbor."It's already past two in the evening," Dheon said with cold steam wafting from his mouth. "That shipment should have arrived by now."Sebastian nodded, feeling the same tension as Dheon. They had prepared everything for this shipment meticulously, and its success would be a testament to the reliability of their team.However, just as Dheon had said, time continued to pass with no sign of the tugboat's arrival. They looked at each other, beginning to feel uneasy about the situation. About an hour passed before they finally saw a faint light in the distance."It seems the tugboat is coming," Dheon said with some relief.As it slowly docked to the dock, the tugboat came into view. Tom Oscar emerged from the ship with cautious steps, walking down the dock towards Sebastian and Dheon."Sorry for the delay," Tom Oscar said as he wiped the sweat fro
"What kind of exchange?" asked Alex. His face began to show seriousness. "We can give you a lot of money."Then, Sebastian smiled with a flushed face."Have you completely forgotten what your family has done to me in the past? Hehe, now how can you think that it can be paid for with just money?"Sebastian squeezed his teacup until it broke. Even though his hand was injured, he didn't care and continued with his words:"What if I chop off one of your brother's heads, and I bring Rachel back into your arms? I'll take that as a break-even payment. Interesting, isn't it?"Seeing Sebastian's not-at-all-heavy smile, Alex went berserk.A fist flew towards Sebastian's face very quickly.[[Time Wrap] Activated!]Sebastian closed his eyes, but he managed to catch the fist very easily.Chuckling softly, Sebastian counterattacked by punching the bridge of Alex's nose.It was a skill that Lebron had passed down to him, which effectively broke the bridge of anyone's nose.Alex fell off his stool wh
Arthur looked surprised to hear that, but he didn't react as Alex did.The old man chose to catch his breath while looking at the garden of his residence. Looking for the right answer to solve this problem."Sebastian," Arthur finally spoke up. "If Rachel was with you, would you hurt her?""Dad!" Alex suddenly pounded on the table. "What are you thinking, Dad? We can't let Rachel go! She's part of our family!"However, Arthur calmly motioned for his son to shut up.Alex could only tighten his jaw in the presence of his father. If he resisted, even just a little, it would end his status in the Carter Family.Sebastian sipped his tea once before speaking, "I consider Rachel to be my most valuable asset right now. At least until she is no longer useful, I will not harm her." Sebastian spoke as if he would kill Rachel when she was no longer profitable to him, but in truth, Sebastian would not do that. After all, Rachel was his former lover, and they had been forced to part while still l
Sebastian's heart was heavy to see Rachel in such a state, but he knew he had to stay strong. He tried to convince himself that this was the best choice for the mission and Rachel's safety."In time, you will get used to living with the Cole family," Sebastian said in a softer tone.Rachel was still crying, but she tried to accept the fact. She nodded weakly, trying to keep her feelings to herself and live out her new role as part of the Cole family.But in her heart, she still missed the family she had left behind. But he knew he had to try to be strong, especially since her life depended on this mission.Meanwhile, Sebastian felt a deep conflict inside. He wonders if now is the right time to get married. He feels attached to Rachel because of their past and his feelings that he still hasn't forgotten.But he soon had second thoughts. He knew this was not the time to think about marriage.His mission with the De Angelis family was still ongoing, and his personal feelings should be sa
