“Ah-” Lana blushed deeply when an unholy thought flashed across her mind.
They ran into a group of men when they left the peach grove. In the lead was a 25-year-old dressed in a black cloak-Flynn York.
Flynn was caught by surprise when he saw Sebastian and Lana holding hands. Then, he seethed. “Let go of Lana!” He charged at them and grabbed Sebastian by the neck.
Just when Sebastian was about to defend himself, Lana snapped, “Stop it!” She went in front of him to shield him from Flynn.
“Flynn York, what is it that you want?” She confronted Flynn.
“Lana, what’s so good about him? Is he better than me in any way?” he demanded.
“Sebastian is better than you in every way,” she said with a snort.
That set Flynn off. As the young lord of the York family and one of the prominent young warriors, he did not expect to be insulted by his crush.
Still, he didn’t want to vent his frustration on Lana. Instead, he turned to Sebastian. “Dude, why are you hiding behind a lady? Step forward if you’re a man!”
“Yeah! Battle Mr. York if you’re a man. You’re a coward if you don’t have the guts to!”
“Look at his cowardly appearance. He would’ve peed his pants had Ms. Sanders not backed him up.”
Flynn’s lackeys joined in to insult Sebastian, to Lana’s chagrin. She said to Sebastian,” Sebastian, ignore him.”
Then, she took Sebastian’s hand and tried to leave by walking around the group of men. Sebastian agreed with her, not because he was scared of the men but simply because he did not want to start trouble.
However, Flynn and his men weren’t about to spare Sebastian. They spread out and surrounded the couple.
Lana barked at them, “Go away!”
Flynn chuckled at her. “Lana, you may leave if you want, but this guy shall stay.”
“Flynn York, don’t cross a line!” She gritted her teeth but couldn’t do anything about it. She might be a cultivator, but she was nowhere near Flynn’s level.
Sebastian finally looked up. “You’re the guy who challenged me today, aren’t you? I accept the challenge.”
“Sebastian, don’t take the bait. You can’t accept the challenge.” Lana started panicking as she was aware of Flynn’s capability.
Only divine grandmasters could take up the challenge. Besides, Flynn had proposed a duel. Sebastian could die if he accepted it.
“Cool. You sound like a man somewhat. Let’s meet by the beach at 11:00 am tomorrow for a life-and-death battle!”
These were the details Sebastian had been waiting to get from Flynn. After agreeing on the venue and time, he left with Lana, who was close to tears.
“Sebastian, how could you agree to the challenge? What do we do now?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I’m confident in winning,” he assured her with a smile.
“Sebastian, I know you’re strong, but you have no idea what Flynn York is capable of. Oh, whatever. Let’s hurry home and get my dad to think of a solution.” Then, she hurriedly dragged him home.
