Harrison’s direct warning to Sebastian to stay away from Esme was undeniably overbearing. Many saw Harrison as assertive, but a small faction found his actions excessive.
After all, Esme herself declared Sebastian her fiancé, making it none of anyone else’s business. A few also took pleasure in the situation, especially those with grudges against Sebastian, like Taylor and Steven.
“Harrison, this is between him and me. Don’t overstep your boundaries!” Esme exclaimed in fury.
However, Sebastian remained composed. With a subtle grin, he casually remarked, “It’s rather preposterous that such a mere clown would dare to make noise in my presence.”
His words stunned everyone present.
“This brat has quite the nerve to label Mr. Zatch as a clown. He seems utterly oblivious to his own standing,” someone exclaimed.
“He’s done for. Mr. Zatch won’t let this slide,” another added.
As discussions buzzed around, disdainful glances were directed at Sebastian.
In the midst of the crowd, Jenny approached. “Sebastian, do you even realize what you’re saying? You’d better apologize to Mr. Zatch right now.”
“Apologize?” Sebastian smirked sarcastically. “Jenny, are you seriously asking me to apologize to him? You must be out of your mind.”
“What? How dare you say I’m out of my mind!” Jenny’s chest heaved with anger.
Sebastian sneered, “You’re not only out of your mind but also severely out of touch! He provoked me, then threatened me, and now you expect me to apologize to him. Isn’t that ridiculous?”
“Sebastian, you’re ungrateful. I’m only looking out for your own good. The consequences of angering Mr. Zatch are something you can’t handle. If it weren’t for your past help, I wouldn’t even bother with you,” Jenny retorted.
“There’s no need for your concern. I don’t even dignify a mere clown like him with my attention. If he crosses me, a slap will do,” Sebastian declared proudly.
“You’re asking for trouble!” Harrison couldn’t contain his rage any longer.
He instantly erupted in anger. With both his fists clenched, he was ready to strike.
However, he suddenly recalled the incident at the club. Sebastian’s terrifying strength had haunted him to this day. If he resorted to violence now, he would surely come out on the losing end.
So, he relaxed his fists, extended a single finger toward Sebastian, and coldly said, “I’ll
remember this. I’ll grant you a temporary reprieve. But mark my words. Once this banquet concludes, you’ll have nowhere left to hide!”
Sebastian chuckled at the threat. He sneered, “I detest it when people point fingers at me.”
“So what if I’m pointing directly at you? What are you going to do about it?” Harrison’s expression was filled with provocation.
This event was hosted by the Supreme One, and violence was strictly prohibited. Any act of violence would be seen as a direct challenge to the Supreme One’s authority. So, he was confident that Sebastian wouldn’t dare to act.
Esme was worried about Sebastian’s impulsiveness. She quickly grabbed his arm and whispered, “Don’t act rashly. Starting a fight here will have serious consequences. I’ve messaged Gina. She’ll be here soon. Just hold on a little longer.”
Esme knew Gina was Lord Hydra. With her arrival, Harrison wouldn’t dare to cause trouble.
But in the next moment, Sebastian reached out and grabbed Harrison’s finger. With a gentle twist, there was a snap as the finger broke.
