“We’re finished! A golden opportunity has been delivered to the Lynch family, but we threw it away. We’re done for,” lamented the members of the Lynch family. If they hadn’t driven Sebastian away, the Lynch family could have soared to great heights with such a son-in- law. They could have become one of the ten great families in no time.
They had continuously wasted this golden opportunity. They might even face retaliation from the Supreme One. This filled them with regret and fear, as they were uneasy and uncertain about how Sebastian would deal with them, especially Evelyn, Lyra, Lucas, and Belinda, who had previously humiliated Sebastian.
They knew that if roles were reversed, Sebastian would surely have sought revenge mercilessly.
Harrison, Gabriel, Taylor, and the others were also ashen-faced. They had just been plotting against Sebastian. There was no way he would spare them now.
Esme was also filled with shock. She looked at Sebastian and asked, “Are you really the Supreme One?”
Sebastian smiled and nodded as he reached toward her. “Will you be mine?”
Esme was instantly overcome with shyness and excitement. Without hesitation, she nodded and placed her hand in Sebastian’s palm. After all, she harbored feelings for Sebastian. It wouldn’t matter even if he weren’t the Supreme One.
Sebastian led Esme toward the throne before seating her beside him.
Lillian’s heart churned with a cocktail of emotions. That position-that woman’s enviable place by Sebastian’s side-it should have all been hers.
Even though it wasn’t her intention, she was the one who had given up the chance.
“All hail the Supreme One! All hail the Supreme Lady!” The crowd praised them once again.
“The Lynch family, the Reeves family, the Harris family of Ravenview City, the Hunter family of Wave City, and the Zatch family of Divinopolis, stay. The rest of you, step aside,” Sebastian commanded in an unquestionable tone.
The crowd quickly retreated, while those named turned pale and limped to the floor.
“O Supreme One, have mercy! We know we were wrong. Please give us another chance,” pleaded Evelyn, Lyra, and the others, bowing frantically. Harrison and Gabriel were no longer arrogant as they knelt, trembling.
Only Elsa remained relatively composed. With tears in her eyes, she begged, “O Supreme One, I was wrong. I truly know I was wrong. I don’t expect you to forgive me; I just beg you to consider our past relationship. Please let my family off the hook.”
“You may leave,” Sebastian agreed, mainly because the Hunter family hadn’t done anything
too outrageous. He was already going above and beyond by saving his ex-girlfriend the embarrassment and cutting off future ties.
Sebastian then turned to Gabriel and Taylor, who were pleading for mercy.
“O Supreme One, we know we were wrong. You are magnanimous; forgive us this once. Treat us like nobodies!”
“It’s up to your creator whether to forgive you or not. My job is just to send you to meet them!”
Sebastian’s face was filled with killing intent. With a wave of his hand, he sent out an invisible sword energy that slashed through the necks of the two men.
Blood spurted out, and the two men’s eyes widened in terror as they fell into a pool of blood.
This terrified Evelyn, Belinda, and Lucas, who were much more timid. They were so frightened they even wet themselves, soaking the place in an overwhelming and nauseating stench.
Harrison wasn’t faring any better. He trembled in fear and muttered, “O Supreme One, please spare me this once. I promise…”
Before he could finish his plea, Sebastian sent out a sword energy that severed his neck.
Despite being Sebastian’s cousin, Harrison received no mercy.
The Zatch family had been ruthless to Sebastian’s parents. Since they didn’t show any compassion despite being family, Sebastian had no reason to repay their cruelty with kindness.
Next, Sebastian turned his gaze to Yale, who turned pale with fear.
“Do you know what you did wrong?” Sebastian asked coldly.
“I-I have committed a grave offense. I deserve to die. Please, O Supreme One, spare me this once,” Yale stammered, a sheen of cold sweat beading on his forehead.
“You’re wrong. You’re wrong for favoring your subordinates and not investigating the truth before attempting to kill. As a God of War, you should protect the people. And yet, you abused your power. If it were someone else in my place today, they might have already been killed by you.” Sebastian snorted.
“I know I was wrong. Please, show mercy, O Supreme One,” Yale pleaded as he shook in fear. “This will be the only time.” Sebastian didn’t pursue the matter further.
Yale had made significant contributions, and while he had erred, it hadn’t been a grievous mistake. He just needed to learn from this experience.
It was the Lynch family’s turn next. They all bowed and begged for mercy. Lyra even attempted to seduce and deceive him, only for Sebastian to kick her away with a single blow. Lillian spoke up at that moment. “O Supreme One, all of this is because of me. If you have any ill feelings, come at me. Even if you kill me, I won’t complain. I only beg for you to spare my family, please.”
Sebastian looked at her with a conflicted expression. Remembering their past together, he found it difficult to be ruthless in this situation.
As he clapped his hands, Gina promptly entered with a ten billion-dollar contract.
Sebastian handed the contract to Lillian.
Even though the Lunch family was despicable, they were mainly guilty of greed and being verbally abusive rather than committing heinous crimes.
Sebastian decided not to hold it against them any longer.
Just as Sebastian was about to leave, a large group of armored individuals emanating a strong killing intent barged in through the door.
Sebastian’s face immediately fell.
The newcomers were none other than Magnus and Nathaniel. Their unexpected arrival caught Sebastian off guard.
Gina immediately tensed up and stood by Sebastian’s side, ready to fight with all she had. She knew Sebastian hadn’t fully recovered his strength yet and wouldn’t stand a chance against Magnus, especially when the formidable Great Elder Nathaniel Crane was here as well. Their chances of winning were slim.
Magnus seemed momentarily surprised to see Sebastian, as he had believed Sebastian was dead. Elena had mentioned leaving Sebastian in the forest to be devoured by beasts, and Magnus had witnessed Nelson breaking Sebastian’s legs. It seemed impossible for Sebastian
to recover so quickly.
However, Magnus quickly regained his composure. Staring at Sebastian, he snickered. “You dare to impersonate the Supreme One. The audacity!”
