Everyone at Misty Oak Villa was alarmed by the chilling aura of killing intent that shot up
into the sky. A sense of being plunged into an ice cellar spread throughout, leaving everyone astonished and panic-stricken.
“O’ Supreme One, did something happen?”
Joseph, Lord Frostclaw, and others immediately followed the aura to its source.
“It’s nothing. Go back to rest,” Sebastian said, reining in his killing intent.
The reason for his intense anger was that he had recognized the woman in the video-she was his long-lost mother.
Despite the many years that had passed, he recognized her instantly.
The woman in the video didn’t look much older than he remembered, though she appeared haggard and miserable.
This meant the video must have been taken a long time ago.
Nevertheless, it couldn’t conceal his overwhelming rage. He couldn’t bear to imagine what inhumane torture his mother had endured, nor did he know her current fate.
Sebastian quickly dialed the number that had sent the video. Before he could speak, an elderly voice came from the other end.
“If you want to know about your mother, come alone to Lake Lilith in three days with the phoenix blood herb!”
The other party didn’t even give him a chance to ask questions and hung up immediately after saying that. When Sebastian tried calling again, the phone was already switched off.
Sebastian’s grip tightened so much that he almost crushed the phone.
His chest was a cauldron of seething rage, like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment.
Everyone had a vulnerable point that, when provoked, could lead to disastrous consequences.
Sebastian’s parents were his weakness.
With his father’s death a confirmed fact, his mother, whose life or death was unknown, was now his utmost concern.
The possibility that his mother might still be alive didn’t bring him any joy. Instead, it fueled his rage, knowing she had endured inhumane torture and her current situation was a complete mystery.
He quickly calmed himself. Anger wouldn’t solve anything.
Once calm, he began to analyze the situation.
Knowing about the phoenix blood herb, his mother, and even possessing a video of her, the other party’s knowledge of him was unnervingly thorough.
Many people knew he had the phoenix blood herb, especially since many had overheard him asking Frederik for it.
However, the key was the video.
Despite having tasked Supreme Nexus with searching for his mother’s whereabouts over the years, the matter was highly confidential. Only Lord Drakaria, Gina, Lord Frostclaw and a handful knew about it.
The remaining people who might know included the Zatch family and Lucy and Jenny.
He didn’t continue thinking further because apart from the Zatch family, everyone else around him was close friends and family.
Moreover, he had just killed Magnus and regained control of Supreme Nexus. How would the Zatch family dare to provoke him now?
Lucy and Jenny wouldn’t have the courage either, right?
With that, he dared not think further.
For now, he could only act according to the situation. After all, it was just a three-day wait. Three days later, he would see who exactly this person was.
Three days went by in the blink of an eye.
Early that morning, Sebastian arrived alone at the shores of Lake Lilith with the phoenix blood herb.
Lake Lilith was located amidst mountains, with layered peaks and picturesque scenery. It was a beautiful place.
However, due to its location among the mountains and surrounded by many pristine forests, it was unsuitable for tourism.
As a result, only some people, other than the occasional adventurers, came here.
Upon arriving here, Sebastian unleashed his spiritual senses.
Although his spiritual senses currently only extended to a range of about 100 feet in diameter, they proved highly beneficial.
He even discovered some unusual places-numerous explosives were buried not far ahead by the lakeside.
Without his spiritual senses, detecting these cleverly hidden explosives would have been difficult, even if he was standing right on them.
