Rainey gazed at Sebastian with pleading eyes. Her pitiful appearance was truly heartbreaking.
Sebastian asked, “So, are you saying that you’ll only be mine from now on?”
“Yes, I’ll go with you as long as you save me. From now on, I belong to you alone,” Rainey said firmly.
She had made up her mind. Instead of staying in this house to be bullied and tormented, leaving would be far better.
Though Sebastian was a rotten old man, he had treated her with some kindness, which was better than enduring Nelson’s tortures.
“Good. From now on, you’re mine,” Sebastian agreed after a brief thought.
Rainey had a spiritual constitution and had already reached the late-stage grandmaster level. This promised great potential for the future. Having her under his wing would be advantageous.
Nelson’s expression instantly darkened. He stared at Sebastian with murderous intent and said, “You old bastard, you’ve done having your fun and now, you’re stopping me from having mine? Do you have a death wish?”
Sebastian sneered, “You’re the one with a death wish. She belongs to me now. You think I’d let a scumbag like you torture her? Get on your knees and apologize. Maybe then I’ll let you walk out of here in one piece.”
These words shocked Benjamin. He hadn’t expected Sebastian to be so audacious as to insult Nelson and even demand him to kneel down and apologize. Sebastian was asking for trouble!
Even Rainey was shocked.
“Damn it! I’ll kill you!” Nelson erupted in rage.
Just as Nelson was about to charge toward Sebastian, Benjamin hurriedly stepped in to intervene. “Mr. Hyde, calm down. He doesn’t know who you are. Please, for my sake, let’s not escalate this further.”
“Get out of my way, or I’ll kill both of you,” Nelson threatened with deadly intent.
Benjamin wiped his sweat and said nervously, “Mr. Hyde, he’s still treating my son. Just bear with it. I’ll make sure Rainey spends more time with you.”
Nelson relented slightly at Benjamin’s words, “Fine, I’ll let this slide for your sake. But he has to kneel down and apologize to me.”
Benjamin breathed a sigh of relief. He then approached Sebastian, saying, “Dr. Miracle, you’ve caused a big mess. You may not know, but this man is Nelson Hyde, the president of the Dragonheart. He’s one of the top experts in the world.”
“So what?” Sebastian asked casually.
Benjamin anxiously explained, “Don’t you understand? You’ve angered him. If I hadn’t intervened just now, you’d be dead by now. Quickly, kneel down and apologize to him.”
Sebastian retorted defiantly, “Since my mentor passed away, I haven’t kneeled to anyone. Who does he think he is to make me kneel?”
“You bastard, I’ll kill you!” Nelson couldn’t contain his rage any longer and swung his fist at Sebastian with full force.
In an instant, a terrifying energy surged forth, causing the space around them to tremble as if in response to the overwhelming force.
Benjamin wanted to stop it, but he was powerless and could only try to dodge out of harm’s way.
In contrast, Rainey’s eyes filled with hope. Knowing that Sebastian had recently ascended to the Divine Realm, she believed that even if he might not be able to defeat Nelson, he could certainly hold his own in battle.
As the devastating energy neared Sebastian, he showed no sign of evading, looking as if he was stunned into inaction.
The next moment, however, Sebastian suddenly countered with a powerful punch. A blinding white light emitted from his strike.
At that moment, a thunderous boom reverberated. The white light swiftly obliterated Nelson’s energy, and its residual force continued to surge toward him.
Nelson was caught off guard by the sudden attack. The white light struck him squarely in the chest, blasting him backward with terrifying force.
Nelson expelled a mouthful of blood mid-flight, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief.
