"Please watch your mouth!" Darvis' mother became very angry. "Is our daughter's engagement worth this offer of cooperation? What a bargain your daughter is!"

"You should watch your words, Mrs. Anderson. You promised to give our family 50% of the value of the cooperation, and we paid for it with the engagement of our only daughter. Now that your cooperation with Skyzone Company has failed, this engagement must be canceled at all costs."

"Stop!" Julia suddenly snapped with clenched fists and teary eyes. "Mom, are you going to do this again? Almost ten years ago, you broke up my engagement to Sebastian, and now you're going to do it to Darvis! What do you really want from me, huh?"

Julia's father spoke up, "Julia, you're our only child, it's only natural that we put all our hopes in you. You should get the best man, not one from the garbage!"

Then Mrs. Anderson said very scathingly, "Of course, Julia wouldn't have to suffer like this if you weren't infertile."

Her husband looked at her very sharply. His face was as red as an overcooked shrimp. He was angry, but the fact that he was infertile was a truth that could not be denied!

As if she couldn't stand the whole conversation, Julia suddenly grabbed her bag and ran out of the restaurant as fast as she could.

Julia's parents were soon ready to leave. There was nothing more they could get out of this meeting.

Seeing this, Darvis' mother immediately said, "We're not done yet. This engagement needs to be discussed further!"

"We are finished here, Mistress and Mr. Anderson. The engagement of Julia and Darvis is off! I will not marry my daughter to a poor loser!"

Mrs. Brown and her husband left the restaurant, soon followed by Darvis' parents.

"Please watch your mouth!" Darvis' mother became really angry. "Is our daughter's engagement worth that cooperation proposal? What a bargain your daughter is!"

"You should watch your words, Mrs. Anderson. You promised to give our family 50% of the value of the cooperation, and we paid for it with the engagement of our only daughter. Now that your cooperation with Skyzone Company has failed, this engagement must be canceled at all costs."

"Stop it!" Julia suddenly snapped with clenched fists and teary eyes. "Mum, do you intend to do something like this again? Almost ten years ago, you foiled my engagement to Sebastian, and now you're going to do it to Darvis too! What do you really want from me, huh?"

Julia's father spoke up, "Julia, you're our only child, it's only natural that we'd pin all our hopes on you. You should get the best man, not one who comes from the rubbish bin!"

Then, Mrs. Anderson said very scathingly, "Of course, Julia wouldn't have to suffer like this if you weren't infertile."

Her husband looked at her very sharply. His face was as red as an overcooked boiled crab. He was furious, but the fact that he was infertile was a truth that could not be denied at all!

As if she couldn't stand the whole conversation, Julia suddenly grabbed her bag before running out of the restaurant as fast as she could.

Julia's parents were soon getting ready to leave. There was nothing more they could get out of this meeting.

Seeing that, Darvis's mother immediately said, "We are not done yet at all. This engagement must be discussed further!"

"We're done here, mistress and mister Anderson. Julia and Darvis' engagement remains canceled! I will not marry off my daughter to a poor loser!"

Mrs. Brown and her husband left the restaurant, soon followed by Darvis' parents.

Now at the table, only Darvis was left clutching his head. The poor man never seemed to have expected that something like this would happen.

Sebastian could only chuckle after witnessing the whole 'drama'. There was a slight sense of satisfaction in his heart knowing that Darvis' engagement to Julia couldn't even last more than one night.

"Hey! What are you laughing at?"

Sebastian came to his senses. It turned out that his snickering voice was too loud for Darvis to hear.

Clearing his throat a few times to change his voice to a huskier one, Sebastian replied, "I'm not. Something funny crossed my mind, that's why I laughed. No offense."

Darvis could only snort in annoyance. He knew that the young man had just laughed at him, but he didn't dare do anything about it, because from the looks of it, the young man was not a random person.

Shortly after Darvis decided to leave, Sebastian's lunch finally arrived. He was smiling broadly. After watching all this really fun drama, his stomach felt even hungrier.

Sebastian returned to his villa to meet Thomas.

"Good afternoon, sir. Is there anything you need from me?"

"Yes, I want to go to this place." Sebastian handed Thomas a piece of paper containing the address.

The look on Thomas' face changed slightly when he read the address Sebastian had written.

It was Cone Town, a small town that was poor and backward. To the citizens of Luxington Hill, it was a hellhole that they did not want to visit in their lifetime.

Thomas wondered why Sebastian would want to go to that outcast area when everyone else was avoiding him. However, as a personal servant, Thomas knew that he had no right to question his master's decisions.

"Of course, sir. Please get into the car and I will take you to the place as soon as possible."

Throughout the journey, Mia managed to disturb Sebastian's peace by asking too many questions.

"According to the information I got, Cone Town is a very backward town. There are a lot of armed gangsters based in that town. Are you so confident that you are the son of a god that you have no fear of being shot at by them?"

"No." Sebastian shook his head with a strange smile. "They are not my enemies. They are friends."

Entering Cone Town, the scenery outside the car window became completely changed.

There was nothing to see except for the slum neighborhood and the homeless people!

They stopped at a building made of rusted zinc sheets.

Thomas quickly jumped down and opened the car door for Sebastian.

"You don't need to accompany me, Thomas. Please stay in this place," Sebastian said as he put on his sunglasses.

"B-but, sir, this neighborhood is very dangerous. I'm afraid something might happen to you if I don't protect you," Thomas said anxiously, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

"I'll be fine." Sebastian lifted the hem of his jacket slightly and revealed a small-caliber pistol to his assistant. "I had a shooting course as a teenager, I'm sure that skill hasn't diminished even today."

Thomas swallowed. How could Sebastian have acquired that gun in just one day with his family's notorious bad reputation?

Unbeknownst to Thomas, Sebastian had bought the gun at Luxington Hill shopping center legally.

He had been rejected by the gun dealer based on the Cole Family's bad reputation, but in the face of a million dollars, the gun dealer had said nothing more than to hand over a small-caliber pistol to Sebastian.

Yes. You can't be naive, money can indeed solve everything.

Sebastian started to walk into the building when he felt the cold muzzle end of the gun against the back of his head.

Calmly, Sebastian raised both hands.

"I would like to see Dheon Jew."

"Who are you and what is your purpose in entering this place without permission?" the gunman asked.

"I'm Sebastian Cole. And what I'm here for, you don't need to know."

"Of course I do," the gunman growled. "Or I might just pull the trigger of my gun and blow your head off like a rotten watermelon."

Sebastian chuckled. "I bet you can't do that."

"You're wasting my time!"

Just before the man behind him pulled the trigger of the gun, Sebastian made a twisting motion and caught the gun pointed at him very quickly.

"What did I tell you, huh?" Sebastian grinned smugly as he pointed the gun at the man.

"Don't move!"

A dozen people came out of the darkness in the room and pointed large-caliber weapons at Sebastian. They ordered the young man to drop his weapon, but he had no intention of doing so. The situation became really tense.

    This such situation continued for a while until a heavy voice appeared."Hold your weapons, people! He is our distant brother."As soon as there were no more guns pointed at him, Sebastian put his gun down and turned to see who was speaking."Dheon, long time no see." Sebastian smiled broadly."Sebastian, I can't believe I saw you here with this such condition!" Dheon Bennet, a tall man with wide sideburns, walked over to Sebastian and gave him a warm hug."Now tell me, my friend, what made you spring back like that?" he asked.Smiling stiffly, Sebastian simply replied, "It's a long story, so there's no need to tell it again. I'm just happy to see you again, that's all that matters.""Hahaha! Of course, what's the point? Rose! Come here, your faraway brother is here!"A young girl came out of the other room with quick steps. Sebastian saw her, he was stunned for a moment.Rose, how did you become so beautiful?" he said to himself.Rose appeared with light steps and immediately caught

    "Master, according to the system, it looks like you'll have to take some women as your personal companions," Mia scolded."Huh?" Sebastian raised his eyebrows in surprise."Yes! A man of dominance has to have many women at his side. It sounds quite strange and unusual, but that's what kings and world leaders did in the past, they had many wives, right?"Sebastian thought for a moment to decide. Actually, he was not a man who was crazy about women and needed many of them to accompany him. However, if having many women could generate even more God Points, Sebastian would not mind."Rose, how about you working as my personal escort? I'll give you a car, a house, a big salary, and anything else you want. Are you interested?"Receiving the offer out of the blue, Rose was surprised. But she was able to react quickly. Rose looked at her brother and let him make the decision."Why are you looking at me, Rose?" asked Dheon with a smile. "You are old enough to make your own decisions."Then, w

    "Mister, is it true that your company just canceled the cooperation agreement with the Anderson Group?"Right after Julia finished her sentence, Sebastian laughed dryly. It just sounded like he was mocking her."Ms. Brown, you need to know that Skyzone Company never signed the cooperation proposal with the Anderson Group, so you can't say we canceled it; actually, we rejected it."Julia says, "Skyzone Company and Anderson Group had so many meetings to discuss this big project, so we thought you would sign it with 100% possibility."Sebastian chuckled again. "Are you sure we ever said that? Without any evidence or affidavit, you cannot inquire about our decision. If you are pleased with this answer, please leave the room."Julia's body went limp at Sebastian's statement. She felt that Sebastian would never change his decision. On the other hand, the Anderson Group could not take the case to court because they had no evidence or witnesses.Julia had lost all hope. She felt there was no

"Darius, long time no see.""Damn it to hell!" Darius Wong stood up and cursed Sebastian. He didn't care about the people around him. "Are you too proud to call your big brother?! Dumb Sebastian! I knew you needed my help to get through these hard times, but you didn't even call me!"Chuckling, Sebastian replied, "Big brother, it's better not to talk about the past. We still have a bright future ahead of us, don't we? How about we sit down and talk about our contract over a meal?""You're right. As long as you're alive, everything will be fine. Hey, waiter! Please bring us the menu."A beautiful young waitress came over with the menu and a beautiful sm

    Right after that, Sebastian called Amanda."Hello, Amanda. Could you please get in touch with Mr. Lucas Liang?""Sir, do you mean Mr. Liang, the owner of the Jade Lotus Restaurant?" Amanda asked."Exactly. Tell him that his son made a mistake and I have to teach him a little lesson. Ask him not to make a big deal out of it."Amanda's voice became concerned, "Sir, what did that boy do to you?"Sebastian just laughed and briefly replied, "Nothing big. Just do as I say.""Sure, sir, I'll contact Mr. Liang right away."Sebastian re-entered the restaurant and said loudly to all the diners, "Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for interrupting your dinner, but the CEO of Skyzone Company has reserved all the tables in this place."Immediately, there was a small commotion. Some of them seemed resigned even though they did not want this. They knew that the mysterious CEO of Skyzone Company was the richest man in the rest of Luxington Hill, while they didn't even make it into the list of the 50

    While Dheon Bennet and his men continued to destroy the Jade Lotus Restaurant, Sebastian and Darius discussed their proposal of cooperation undisturbed."To be honest, I never thought of accepting a cooperative relationship with Skyzone Company before," Darius said with a serious face. "However, this company is now in your hands, my little brother. I believe you will not disappoint me on this project."Sebastian nodded confidently and let Darius sign the contract. They then shook their hands as business partners.At the same time, Dheon came to Sebastian and said, "Bro, we've done."Smiling with satisfaction, Sebastian patted the man on the shoulder, "Well done. You'd better get your troops out of here as soon as possible, I don't want to get unnecessary questions from the officer."Dheon nodded his head. "If you need any other help, don't hesitate to contact me."After parting ways with Dheon and Darius, Sebastian gave Grace taxi money so she could go home."Don't forget, someone wi

    "Sir, please be careful what you say in the presence of Master Sebastian," Julia said indifferently. "I am tired of thinking about the happiness of my family and yours. I'm too busy obeying you to feel human. When am I going to start thinking about my own happiness?"Darvis, who did not expect Julia to say that at all, fell his jaw to the ground."Didn't I hear you wrong?! How could you call this bastard 'Master'?"Sebastian felt that he no longer had time to deal with Darvis' ramblings and immediately called the guards."Please kick this guy out and never show his face in front of me again. If he is an opponent, put a little memento on his face." Sebastian lifted his leg from Darvis' back and let the guards take the rest.Sebastian continued his journey toward Skyzone Company with Thomas."Master, I'm sorry that you had to spend 60 GP on a cheap skill. It's not worth it at all!" Mia appeared on Sebastian's shoulder and said that with a pained look on her face."Tch! I'm sure you're n

    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 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

"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

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 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.
