Sebastian didn’t even have to guess to know that these were prepared just for him.
These dozens of pounds of explosives would be extremely terrifying in power once detonated. Even a pre-divine grandmaster standing on top would be reduced to powder and bones.
Since the other party hadn’t arrived, Sebastian closed his eyes and patiently waited.
Several hours went by until a masked person appeared across the small lake.
There was a small boat moored there. The masked person boarded it, paddling with a bamboo pole.
Before long, the small boat approached. However, the masked person did not come ashore; instead, they stopped about 40 feet from the shore, directly facing the buried explosives. It was clear they intended to lure Sebastian over.
Sebastian did not approach. Despite his strong defenses, he refused to take unnecessary risks.
“Boy, did you bring the phoenix blood herb?” the masked person asked. Their low and hoarse voice made it difficult to discern their actual age from their tone.
Sebastian didn’t waste time talking as he opened the box.
The masked person’s eyes lit up when he saw the phoenix blood herb inside. “Hurry up and throw it over!” he demanded.
Sebastian smirked sarcastically and closed the box. “You think I’m stupid enough to just hand over the phoenix blood herb to you just because you say so?”
“Boy, do you want to know your mother’s whereabouts or not?” the masked person roared.
“I only want to know if my mother is still alive,” Sebastian asked, getting to his most pressing question.
“I can tell you with certainty that your mother is still alive. If you want to know her whereabouts, throw over the phoenix blood herb,” the masked person replied.
“Empty words. Why should I believe you?”
“You have no choice but to believe me. Otherwise, you’ll never see your mother again in this lifetime. And let me tell you, your mother is in a terrible situation. She’s suffering every day. Can you bear the thought of it?” the masked man taunted.
“Talking won’t help. Unless I see my mother, I won’t hand over the phoenix blood herb,” Sebastian replied, trying to maintain composure even though he was seething inside. He wanted nothing more than to tear the person before him to pieces.
“You’re cautious, kid. But it’s not impossible for you to see your mother. However, you’re
too strong. I’m worried I wouldn’t survive if I let you see her,” the masked man continued. ” Let’s do this. I’ll show you something. Once you see it, you’ll believe me,” the masked man said as he pulled out a box and tossed it near the shore, right where the explosives were buried.
It was clear that he intended to lure Sebastian over and then blow him up with the explosives. It was evident that his primary goal wasn’t the phoenix blood herb but Sebastian’s life.
Sebastian wore a faint smirk as he took a few steps forward.
The masked man grew quite excited upon seeing this.
However, Sebastian came to a halt about seven feet away from the explosives.
The masked man became furious; Sebastian was just a few steps away from the explosives!
Then, to the masked man’s disbelief, Sebastian reached out at the box at least ten feet away from him.
A flash of light appeared, and the box was suddenly in his hand.
The masked man was left stunned by what he had just witnessed.
Telekinesis was an ability possessed only by pre-divine grandmasters.
Moreover, typical pre-divine grandmasters could only manipulate objects up to three feet away using telekinesis.
However, Sebastian managed to manipulate objects from a distance of ten feet. It was simply incredible.
While the masked man was astonished, he grew more determined to eliminate Sebastian. He suddenly clenched his fist.
Almost simultaneously, there was a loud boom as a terrifying energy erupted from underground.
Meanwhile, Frostclaw quietly arrived outside Sebastian’s residence at Misty Oak Villa.
After confirming there was no one around, he knocked on the door.
“Lord Frostclaw?” Lillian was slightly surprised to see Lord Frostclaw when she opened the door. “Do you have business with me?”
“Ms. Smith, I am here on the Supreme One’s orders to take you to a place,” Lord Frostclaw informed her.
