Lillian’s eyes were filled with worry.
Although she didn’t understand what a pre-divine grandmaster was, from what everyone else was saying, she could imagine how formidable a pre-divine grandmaster was.
“Sebastian, please leave quickly. Today is a joyous day for me and Celestial Master Thorne. Please don’t cause trouble. I’m begging you, please?”
Magnus instantly blew his top, “Lillian, understand your place. You’re mine. Don’t try to interfere. Now that he’s here, he won’t be leaving alive.”
Lillian hurriedly persuaded him, “Celestial Master Thorne, it’s a joyous occasion for us. It’s bad luck to shed blood. Can’t we just let them leave?”
Magnus sneered. “I am a Celestial Master. Unlucky? Blood is red; it will make this place look even more vibrant.”
Knowing she couldn’t stop them, Lillian shouted at Sebastian, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up and leave!”
“O’ Supreme One, should we leave first?” Lord Drakaria suggested.
Joseph quickly agreed, “Lord Drakaria is right. We’re outnumbered and outmatched. There’s no chance of victory in a direct confrontation. We have time on our side; revenge can wait.”
Sebastian raised his hand to stop them from speaking further. He then turned to Lillian and asked, “Do you remember what I told you at Misty Oak Villa?”
Lillian, of course, hadn’t forgotten. Back then, she didn’t know Sebastian was the Supreme One.
In her quest to secure Phoenix Corporation’s order, she had pleaded with Sebastian.
He took her to a room, where he did everything but take her. Instead, he instructed her to remain chaste and await his summons.

“I’m sorry. They captured my grandfather. I had no choice,” Lillian uttered tearfully, h face filled with remorse.
“You never listen, do you?” Sebastian retorted coldly. “I’ll settle the score with you later.”
“Sebastian, she is my woman now. Do you still think you can take her with you? Time to wake up, boy,” Magnus mocked.
Sebastian smirked knowingly. “You’re the one who should wake up. Today, I will unleash havoc, spilling blood until there’s none left. I will overturn the world and exterminate all traitors!”
“Such arrogance!” Magnus scoffed. “Your ability to act tough is impressive, even in the face of death. Unfortunately, these will be your final words.
“All of you, heed my command! Execute the Supreme One and his followers. You will be rewarded one million for each kill, a billion for each Grandmaster, and a hundred billion for the Supreme One’s head. The title of Deputy Chief will be bestowed upon the killer!”
After everyone heard about this astronomical reward, their eyes glowed with greed as they looked at Sebastian with intense fervor.
A hundred billion was already a massive fortune, not to mention the position of Deputy Chief, which placed one person above ten thousand others.
Lord Drakaria, Gina, and others immediately grew tense. They hastily drew their weapons and prepared for a fight to the death.
“Kill ’em!” Magnus pointed at Sebastian and commanded without emotion.
“Charge!”
“Charge!”
“Charge!”
The group of Gods of War and Elders went mad, shouting like beasts as they charged toward Sebastian.
Individually, they wouldn’t dare to face Sebastian, but now, with over 20 grandmasters, even a regular divine grandmaster would hesitate to confront them.
Growing bolder because of their size, they feared nothing. Each of them was eager to take Sebastian down.
Yale, who was the quickest, spearheaded the charge with a long spear aimed straight at Sebastian’s throat.
