Sebastian opened the door to the room when he saw a burly young man running towards Robert in anger.Not only that, he also analyzed that the situation in this place was actually very chaotic even before he came.He saw a middle-aged man lying unconscious on the floor of the room with a bloodied and battered face.Meanwhile, Robert's condition was actually no worse. His eyes were bruised and blood was flowing from the corner of his lips.It looked like there had been a very fierce fight a few minutes ago!It was too early for Sebastian to determine who was right and wrong in this incident, but he had absolutely no need to think about deciding whose side to take.Sebastian ran even faster towards Robert. His [Time Wrap] was on cooldown after he used it brutally to arrive at this restaurant on time. Thus, Sebastian could only rely on his physical abilities at the moment.Just as the angry burly young man was seconds away from having his fist smash Robert's face, Sebastian surprisingly a
Robert waved his hand and said lightly, "It's just a small wound. When compared to my opponent, my condition doesn't mean anything. I'm quite satisfied after successfully knocking him out."Sebastian could see that although Robert's condition could be said to be quite bad, he did not feel the slightest pain because he was so happy after winning the match.It was the natural adrenaline rush of a man. Robert would probably only feel the pain on his face when he was at home."I will help you heal, Mr. Kate. Please wait a moment."Saying that Sebastian took out some needles from inside his wallet, making Robert frown."Would you like to use those acupuncture needles to treat these external wounds of mine?"Robert's point was obvious. Traditional treatment with acupuncture needles was usually reserved for internal diseases. Moreover, there was no guarantee whatsoever that the illness would be cured instantly.To Robert, traditional treatment with acupuncture needles or cupping almost sound
Sebastian smiled and suggested, "Since you're feeling better, let's head home. This event isn't unfolding as per your plan, so there's no reason for us to stay here."Robert shook his head. "I can't simply walk away from this place. I'm the host, and if I leave, it could cast doubt on my membership in this clubhouse."Sebastian reiterated, "Mr. Kate, this clubhouse is no longer beneficial for you. They're a group of bullies who will only bring you more suffering in the future. You should seriously contemplate leaving this group."Bowing his head with heavy breaths, Robert responded, "I still have a small printing company in Luxington Hill that relies on support from this clubhouse. If I were to withdraw my membership, my company would face the risk of bankruptcy."Sebastian persisted, attempting to persuade Robert once more, "Mr. Kate, I understand your concern about your company, but don't forget about me. I can always provide assistance as long as you're willing to accept it."Altho
While the guests were still processing the information about Sebastian's true identity, Lawrence and Kenny, although looking pale, showed skepticism. They snapped at Sebastian confidently, accusing him of trying to bully them into fear."Do you believe that unveiling your fabricated identity will make us fear you, Sebastian? You're nothing more than an arrogant young man attempting to intimidate us!" Lawrence scolded with a sardonic laugh.Kenny, wasting no time, voiced his disbelief, "Don't get too far ahead of yourself, Sebastian. You won't scare us with tricks like this!"Sebastian simply smiled broadly, unfazed by their skepticism. Locking eyes with Lawrence and Kenny, he remarked, "You might not believe it now, but just wait. You'll see for yourselves."Suddenly, the atmosphere in the room changed. The lights dimmed, creating a more dramatic atmosphere. The clubhouse door opened, and a group of men with serious faces entered the room. They were the men of Lawrence who had yelled
Sebastian rubbed his chin as he pondered for a moment. He then said, "I was contemplating ordering you to harm your father-in-law, but—"Before Sebastian could continue, Lawrence cut him off, "You don't have to worry, Master Cole. I'll do it with pleasure!"On the other hand, Kenny could only curse loudly in his heart knowing that his son-in-law was trying to curry favor with Sebastian with his words, but he did not dare to make any comments knowing that his life would be in trouble if he dared to do such a thing.Sebastian shook his head gently as he continued, "I'm refraining from resorting to violence in front of my father-in-law. But if you dare to interrupt me again, I might change my mind."Lawrence realized his mistake, he whined again while slapping his lips a dozen times until they crumbled, "It's the fault of my rotten mouth! Please forgive me!"Sebastian kept talking, weighing his words carefully, "I considered what kind of punishment would match your actions. But seeing ho
Clutching the wine bottle with both hands trembling, Kenny swiftly removed the cork and commenced a rapid consumption. His pallid, contorted face mirrored the repulsion and unease induced by the unexpected encounter with a quality of wine he had never fathomed tasting. In a mere fifteen seconds, Kenny accomplished the feat of draining an entire bottle, concluding with a resounding belch.Simultaneously, Lawrence, his son-in-law, witnessed the unfolding spectacle with a visage of growing horror. His eyes then turned towards Sebastian, and with a hint of hesitation, he asked, "Master Cole, if you please, may I be granted leave to return home now?"Sebastian shook his head, a sardonic smile lingering on his lips. "In a mere five seconds, Lawrence, you shall receive a call that holds the destiny of your life in its balance," he declared.Initially incredulous, Lawrence furrowed his brow, but shortly after, the distinct ring of his phone resonated. Hesitatingly, he answered the call. The w
Amidst the ongoing business discussion, Dheon gently approached Sebastian, trying to deliver a report on Kenny's condition. He bowed his body slightly, giving a respectful bow before giving out information that might not be pleasant."He lost consciousness on the tenth bottle, Boss. Even after a few slaps from my men, he remained unconscious," Dheon said in a worried tone.Sebastian pondered for a moment, his sharp eyes remaining focused on the continuing business discussion. However, when Dheon asked if he wanted to stop the punishment, Sebastian shook his head firmly."No, let him finish his sentence. The insolent act against my father-in-law should not go unpunished," Sebastian said in a cold voice.Dheon swallowed, understanding that Sebastian would not tolerate offenses against his family. Then, Dheon asked sincerely, "What should I do, Boss?"Sebastian smiled slyly, thinking of the punishment that Kenny would have to endure. "Take him to the hospital. Tell him that he's been poi
Eleven o'clock in the evening had arrived, and the atmosphere in the clubhouse was easing after the earlier tension. Sebastian looked around with an expression that seemed unaffected by the previous incident. Meanwhile, the guests began to prepare to say goodbye.The clubhouse members, who had been worried about Sebastian's attitude after the incident with Robert, were relieved to see the host's unconcern. As if following Sebastian's example, they said their goodbyes respectfully.Robert, still harboring guilt, approached Sebastian. In an almost inaudible voice, he apologized for the incident. Sebastian casually nodded, signaling that it was all over.However, Sebastian did not forget to encourage Robert. "Don't think about it too much, Mr. Kate. We all have some awkward moments like that. The important thing is that we can learn from them." Sebastian smiled. "Besides, you don't need to feel guilty like this. It is my duty to eliminate any enemies that threaten those closest to me."
