The second reason was Sebastian’s familiarity with the process. Having gone through cultivation once before, he avoided any detours and faced no bottlenecks. Everything progressed smoothly without obstacles.
Had this been in the past, Sebastian would’ve been over the moon. But now, he couldn’t be happy.
More than half a month had passed without him as an obstacle. He wondered how much damage Magnus and Nathaniel had done to Supreme Nexus.
As for Novastar Organization and the Dragonheart, Sebastian wasn’t worried for the time being. Those guys probably wouldn’t cause any trouble until they had unraveled the secrets of the Seraphic Tear Pendant and the amulets.
Sebastian decided to go back and check things out. But first, he needed to make some preparations.
He gathered some herbs from the forest. Along with some yellow clay, he made a face mask and applied it to his face. In an instant, he transformed into the appearance of a middle- aged man with no visible flaws on the surface.
This was the art of disguise that Sebastian had learned from Alexander Blackwood, the Masked King. Known as the foremost expert in disguise, Alexander had taught Sebastian with patience. That brought Sebastian’s skills to a masterful level.
In today’s world, there was no one better at disguise than Alexander.
Afterward, Sebastian quietly approached the dock and found an opportunity to sneak onto a ship. He decided to subdue the people on the ship and leave the island.
Even if Merlin and his men found out, it wouldn’t matter because there was only one ship available. Without it, they wouldn’t be able to chase him.
Just as Sebastian was about to make his move, he suddenly noticed several cars approaching from a distance. Had they discovered him?
He was shocked and quickly ran into a cabin. As he was looking for a place to hide, a female service attendant spotted him.
Sebastian knew this would be trouble. Before the woman could react, he lunged forward, grabbed her neck with one hand, and covered her mouth with the other. “Don’t make any sound, or I’ll kill you,” he threatened.
The woman’s face turned pale with fright. She immediately blinked her eyes to show she understood.
At that moment, a chaotic clamor of footsteps approached from the front. There were at least several people. Sebastian, now in a tight spot, quickly whispered to the woman,” Cooperate with me. Otherwise, killing you will be as easy as crushing an ant.”
The woman blinked again to show she understood. Sebastian then released her mouth and neck but kept one hand on her back.
He didn’t know if the woman would follow his instructions. He could kill her if she screamed, but it would also mean his own doom. So, he had no choice but to keep his fingers crossed.
Just then, Merlin and his men could be heard outside the cabin while a group of people emerged from inside. Trapped between them, Sebastian and the woman had no choice but to move to the side.
Soon, Nelson and his men entered the cabin. They were greeted by the ship’s crew, who were preparing to depart.
As some people headed inside, Sebastian wanted to sigh of relief. But at that moment, Elena suddenly stopped. She turned around and looked directly at Sebastian. Her eyes were filled with icy murderous intent.
Sebastian knew he was doomed. He had assumed that his disguise would let him slip by unnoticed, but he was wrong. Now, he was in serious trouble.
