Everyone turned to look at Sebastian. After all, Lillian was his ex-wife. The decision ultimately lay with him.
“Of course, we must rescue her. However, we need a foolproof plan,” Sebastian said. Even if Esme didn’t mention her, he had not forgotten about Lillian. They used to be husband and wife, after all. He couldn’t just ignore her after Magnus got his hands on her.
Furthermore, he needed her to remain a virgin for the completion of his technique.
“Mr. Wilder, do you already have a plan in mind?” Natalie asked.
“Here’s what I think…” Sebastian then laid out his plan, which was straightforward yet effective-a ruse to draw Magnus away. Magnus was eager to capture Lord Hydra and Lord Drakaria, so he wouldn’t pass up any opportunity.
Everyone agreed that the plan was feasible. Then, they began to prepare accordingly.
Lord Drakaria and Gina arranged a meeting with Casper at a café. This meant that Casper needed to cooperate for this plan to work.
However, since Sebastian trusted Casper, he had Gina contact him for the meeting.
In addition, they needed someone to inform Magnus about the meeting between Casper, Lord Drakaria, and Lord Hydra.
Casper didn’t disappoint. Upon receiving Gina’s call, he agreed to give his full cooperation.
Casper cleverly staged a phone conversation in Derick’s presence, using vague language to suggest a meeting with Lord Drakaria and Lord Hydra without providing solid evidence. Casper chose Derick because he knew Derick was an opportunist who had been seeking to curry favor with Magnus since he took over Supreme Nexus.
Just as Casper had predicted, Derick became suspicious and followed Casper to the café. When he saw Casper meeting with Lord Drakaria and Lord Hydra, he was ecstatic. He immediately pulled out his phone, took a photo, and sent it to Magnus.
Magnus quickly called him. “How did you find out? Could this be a trap?”
“Rest assured, Celestial Master Thorne. I only followed Casper secretly after I overheard his phone call. I was careful and didn’t let him notice me.”
“Good. I’ll bring people over right away.” Magnus dismissed his doubts, mainly because he was confident in his own strength. With Sebastian dead, only Lord Drakaria, Lord Hydra, and Lord Cyclops were left. He and Nathaniel together had complete confidence in dealing with them.
Worried that Lord Drakaria and Lord Hydra might leave, Magnus and Nathaniel hurried to the café.
Shortly after they left, a middle-aged man got out of a car parked by the roadside. It was Magnus. However, Magnus had just left, so this was obviously a fake. He was actually Sebastian.
He would reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble by disguising himself as Magnus.
And things turned out as he thought they would. The people in the company greeted him with respect when they saw him.
Thus, Sebastian swaggered his way to the top-floor office.
Lillian and Lyra were sitting on the couch inside the office.
Lyra was sipping red wine and browsing her phone, looking relaxed. Lillian, on the other hand, sat quietly, her face lifeless and looking as if she had lost all will to live.
“Celestial Master Thorne, you’re back.”
Seeing Sebastian enter, Lyra quickly put down her red wine, ran to his side, and affectionately wrapped her arms tight around his.
If Sebastian had to be truthful, it felt wonderful.
“Scram!”
