“What happened exactly?” Sebastian asked urgently.
Lord Drakaria spoke up, “O’ Supreme One, Ms. Bailey returned home a couple of days ago.”
“Go on,” Sebastian prompted.
Esme returning home was nothing out of the ordinary, so Sebastian suspected there was more behind Lord Drakaria’s words.
Lord Drakaria paused, then continued, “Ms. Smith and Frostclaw were captured by that traitor Magnus.”
“What?” Sebastian exclaimed in shock.
“I told everyone to stay here and not go out, how could Magnus capture them?” Sebastian asked angrily. Misty Oak Villa was easy to defend, and even without him, Magnus wouldn’t dare attack easily. He had made everyone stay here, but it didn’t prevent accidents.
“Magnus captured Ms. Smith’s grandfather to threaten her. When she found out, she left,” Gina explained.
Sebastian slammed his hand down on the table, shattering it. Lord Drakaria and the others were immediately silenced by his rage.
He had previously sent people to bring Lillian’s parents to Misty Oak Villa to prevent such incidents. He had thought of everything, but he had underestimated Elijah.
He thought Magnus wouldn’t touch Elijah due to Lyra’s relationship, but now he realized how naïve he had been.
“When did this happen?” Sebastian asked.
“It was yesterday,” Gina replied.
“And Frostclaw? Why was he captured too?” Sebastian asked in confusion.
Sebastian understood that Lillian chose to go to Magnus because Magnus had threatened her using her grandfather. However, Frostclaw was an orphan with no attachments and was known for his stability. Sebastian simply couldn’t comprehend why he had been captured. “Frostclaw tried to sneakily rescue Ms. Smith, but never returned,” Lord Drakaria explained. “There’s another matter,” Lord Drakaria continued cautiously.
“What is it? Has someone else been captured? Why isn’t Natalie here? Has she been captured too?” Sebastian asked.
“No, it’s not that. Ms. Green has also returned home. I just received word that Magnus plans to marry Ms. Smith today,” Gina replied.
“Damn it!” Sebastian clenched his fists, unleashing a chilling presence that instantly
dropped the room’s temperature by several degrees. Everyone felt an icy dread creeping into their hearts. Sebastian now exuded a terrifying demeanor, unlike anything they had felt before.
“Where’s the wedding being held?” Sebastian demanded.
“Ravenview Hotel,” Gina replied.
“You’ve pushed it too far, Magnus. I’ll make sure you meet your end today!” Sebastian said sharply before storming off.
Sebastian couldn’t understand why he felt such intense worry upon hearing about Lillian’s capture by Magnus.
“Supreme One, hold on,” Lord Drakaria interrupted, halting Sebastian. “Magnus has announced your death. Many from Supreme Nexus have joined him, including all ten Elders and many War Gods. It’s too risky to confront them with just our few.”
The ten Elders of the Supreme Nexus were all grandmasters, as were the Gods of War aligned with Magnus. With a total of 20 formidable opponents, it presented an exceptionally powerful force for them to contend with.
Besides Sebastian, they only had Lord Drakaria, Lord Hydra, and Joseph as grandmasters on their side. This created an undeniable significant gap in strength.
“Those who stand with me will prosper; those who oppose me will perish!” Sebastian declared firmly. With no further words, he walked past Lord Drakaria and hurried away, with Rainey following closely behind.
