“Bullshit. Who wants to die here?” Merlin scoffed coldly.
Sebastian chuckled lightly. “Since you don’t want to die, then behave and kill him!” He pointed toward Nelson.
Nelson was taken aback. He quickly stepped back and said, “Merlin, don’t fall for it. He’s trying to sow discord.”
“There’s no need to fear, Mr. Hyde. We’re partners. Why would I harm you?” Merlin said calmly.
Nelson remained wary. He knew his partnership with Merlin was purely based on mutual interests and not trust.
Merlin addressed Sebastian firmly, “Your tricks won’t work on me. I don’t know who you are or what issues you have with Mr. Hyde, but I advise you to know your limits. If you persist, I won’t stand idly by.”
“Are you looking for trouble, then? Fine, I’ll oblige,” Sebastian responded with a charming smile as he inched closer to Merlin.
“I recognize you now. You’re Sebastian!” Elena suddenly exclaimed.
“Fuck! He’s really Sebastian!” The realization hit Merlin. “No wonder you looked so familiar,” he said.
“Damn it! It’s you!” Nelson fumed with anger.
Benjamin and Rainey were stunned. The master healer before them was their sworn enemy,
Schastian.
“Oh no!” Benjamin suddenly exclaimed and rushed toward Travis’ room.
Sebastian paid no attention to him and instead turned to Elena, smiling softly. “Impressive. You could recognize me even in this disguise. It seems you truly understand me after being intimate with me.”
Upon hearing this, Merlin’s face turned red with anger.
“Elena, is what he’s saying true?” Merlin demanded.
Elena didn’t answer him. She clenched her teeth and glared at Sebastian. Her expression confirmed his words.
Enraged, Merlin threatened, “How dare you harm my daughter! I’ll flay you alive!”
“If you hate me so much, what are you waiting for? Come at me,” Sebastian taunted.
Sebastian had transformed greatly, and his current strength had surpassed anything before. Even if Nelson hadn’t gotten hurt and he teamed up with Merlin in his peak state, it wouldn’t bother him.
“Bring it on!” Merlin exploded in rage as he aimed a powerful punch at Sebastian.
With a thud, a surge of terrifying energy emanated from his fist.
Sebastian didn’t dodge Merlin’s attack. Instead, he countered with a punch that flashed with blinding light. He unleashed an even more terrifying force.
With a thunderous roar, the white light shattered everything, slamming mercilessly into Merlin and causing him to stagger back. Blood spurted from his mouth, and his eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
Merlin and Sebastian had clashed multiple times before. Merlin had believed his strength was comparable to Sebastian’s and thought determining a victor would require at least a few hundred exchanges.
Yet within days, Sebastian had grown immensely powerful.
Meanwhile, Nelson showed no intention of helping Merlin. Instead, he seized the opportunity to flee toward the doorway.
