The crisp sound of a slap echoed, and Jake was sent flying immediately.
“Zia, are you alright?” Sebastian quickly helped Zia up.
“Mr. Wilder, thank you,” Zia uttered, tears of gratitude welling up in her eyes as she threw herself into Sebastian’s arms.
“Mr. Sanders! Are you okay?” On the other side, the shocked Yvette quickly ran over to help Jake up.
Jake, who was clearly dazed, shook his head to regain his senses. An overwhelming surge of anger engulfed him promptly after.
“You fucking piece of shit! I’ve underestimated you. You dare to ambush me and even slap me? I’ll make sure you die a horrible death!” Jake roared in fury, then kicked off the ground like a leopard pouncing on its prey.
Seeing this, Sebastian pulled Zia behind him as his eyes glinted coldly.
“Die!” Jake charged at Sebastian and threw a punch straight at Sebastian’s face.
A grandmaster could attack from a distance, but it would consume a lot of energy. Therefore, they typically opted for close combat when facing an opponent of similar strength.
Sebastian wasn’t afraid at all. Moving with lightning speed, he reached out with his left hand, grabbed Jake’s wrist, and slapped him hard with his right hand.
The sound of the slap rang out again, and Jake was momentarily stunned. As Sebastian held his wrist, he couldn’t be sent flying this time.
Feeling unsatisfied, Sebastian backhanded him with another slap.
Sebastian landed five or six more slaps, leaving Jake utterly befuddled. If it weren’t for
Sebastian holding him up, Jake wouldn’t have been able to stand.
Jake looked utterly pathetic. His face was swollen like a pig’s head, and blood was streaming from his mouth and nose. His teeth were all over the ground.
At this moment, even his own parents would have difficulty recognizing him.
When Sebastian released his grip, Jake immediately passed out and collapsed to the ground.
Not far away, Yvette watched this scene with her mouth agape, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief. While she knew Sebastian was a grandmaster, she hadn’t expected him to be this powerful.
Jake was a middle-stage grandmaster, yet he was powerless before Sebastian.
One could easily tell how terrifyingly strong Sebastian was.
Yvette was momentarily paralyzed with fear.
When Sebastian looked at her, she snapped back to reality, broke into a cold sweat, and immediately took off.
Although Yvette was also a grandmaster, she was only at the beginning stage. Compared to Jake, she was much weaker, and compared to Sebastian, she was vastly inferior.
“Head back first,” Sebastian instructed Zia before chasing after Yvette.
Yvette had attempted to take away Zia’s innocence. It was an act too cruel to go unpunished. He couldn’t let her off easily.
Yvette ran quickly, but Sebastian, who was faster, rapidly closed the distance between them. Yvette’s face turned pale with fear as she sensed Sebastian’s swift approach.
Realizing she couldn’t escape, she stopped, turned around, and faced Sebastian, adopting a pitiful expression. “Sir, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time. I promise I won’t do it again.”
“You have to accept the consequences of your actions. Are you ready?” Sebastian sneered coldly.
“What are you going to do?” Yvette asked, her voice trembling with fear.
“Treat others as they treat you. Since you tried to take someone else’s innocence, I’ll take yours. Take off your clothes,” Sebastian commanded, his tone brooking no argument.
