“Stop him! Don’t let him get away!”
Magnus wasn’t worried at all when he saw Sebastian escaping. He hurriedly chased after Sebastian and ordered his subordinates to intercept him.
However, the people he brought with him were all afraid of Sebastian and dared not get in his way.
Meanwhile, Natalie had already made the necessary arrangements outside the hotel. With the doors open, a few cars were already waiting for Sebastian’s group by the time they came out.
The three of them quickly got into the cars and left in a hurry.
Seeing this, Magnus and Nathaniel immediately chased after them.
At that moment, Lord Drakaria and Lord Frostclaw, hiding on the rooftop opposite, fired a rocket.
Magnus and Nathaniel managed to avoid getting injured as they hastily dodged to the side. However, their evasion delayed their pursuit. They could only watch as the vehicles disappeared from view.
Magnus was furious; having failed to seize control of the Supreme Nexus earlier, he decided to deal with Gina and the rest of them first so that no one could stop him later. His purpose in coming this time was to capture Lord Hydra and Lord Drakaria’s group, but unexpectedly, he failed.
“What do you think, Elder Crane?” Magnus asked.
Nathaniel pondered momentarily before replying, “The Supreme One has already died on Delfino Isle, so the person just now must be fake. However, we mustn’t underestimate what that person is capable of. Even I wouldn’t feel confident if it were a one-on-one fight. I’m not sure of his background.”
“You analyzed it well. Regardless of their background, they must be eliminated since they are associated with Drakaria and Hydra.” Magnus spat.
Sebastian and Gina soon arrived at Misty Oak Villa. For now, this was still a safe location.
The Quirrel family was a family of practitioners. Joseph was a grandmaster, and the family had several other grandmasters. Furthermore, there were many traps and high-end weapons outside Misty Oak Villa. Even if Magnus knew they were there, he wouldn’t dare to enter recklessly.
“Ms. Bailey, I’m truly sorry for involving you in this,” Sebastian said apologetically to Esme. “Who were those people just now? And are you really the Supreme One?” Esme asked. She was uncertain because the rumors about the Supreme One were of someone supreme and formidable. However, how Sebastian fled was the opposite of what the Supreme One would
do.
Before Sebastian could reply, Gina angrily interjected, “Those were traitors from Supreme Nexus, led by Deputy Chief Thorne and Nathaniel. And yes, the Supreme One is real, but he’s injured and hasn’t fully recovered.”
“So that’s the case. How despicable of those traitors!” Esme huffed indignantly before remembering something. “By the way, I have a gift for you,” Esme said, turning to Gina.
Esme clapped her hands, and someone promptly brought over a rectangular wooden box. She handed the box to Gina, who then passed it to Sebastian.
Opening the box, Sebastian found a white herb shaped like a human. Judging by its shape and size, it was likely close to a century old.
Although Sebastian had suspected, he was still excited to see it. With this century-old white herb, he was one step closer to refining Nourishing Pills. Once he acquired the century-old Dragon Root, he would be able to produce the pills, propelling his cultivation to new heights.
Meanwhile, Magnus and Nathaniel, along with their men, stormed into Phoenix Corporation, seizing control of the entire conglomerate by force.
Inside Sebastian’s former office, Magnus sat arrogantly on the couch while two women- Lillian and Lyra-stood before him.
Magnus’ lecherous eyes roamed shamelessly over the women. He felt more satisfied and heated with every passing moment.
“What a pair of beautiful cousins. Such exceptional beauties. From today onward, you two are mine. Tonight, you will both serve me,” Magnus declared with an air of dominance.
