While Sebastian had suspected it was the Zatch family or the Osborne family, he never imagined Phaedra Island to be the culprit.
Even if his mother was a practitioner, how could she have provoked people from Phaedra Island?
“Yvette, do you know the consequences of lying to me?” Sebastian’s eyes flashed with a cold light. He suspected Yvette was saying this because she was trying to use the people from Phaedra Island to get rid of him.
“I’m telling the truth! I swear! If you don’t believe me, I can swear on my life,” Yvette anxiously explained.
Throughout this exchange, Sebastian kept his eyes fixed on hers.
People could lie, but their eyes often betrayed them. Unless she was a master actress, her eyes revealed only fear and helplessness, indicating she was likely telling the truth.
“Why would the people from Phaedra Island torture my mother?” Sebastian pressed. “I don’t know. I only heard about it from someone else,” Yvette replied.
“Who did you hear it from?” Sebastian asked urgently.
“It’s Frostclaw!”
“Frostclaw?” Sebastian echoed.
Yvette hesitated before adding, “If you promise to let me go, I’ll tell you something important.”
“Speak!”
“You must promise me, and you can’t harm me. Otherwise, I won’t say anything. But I guarantee you’ll regret it,” Yvette insisted.
“Fine, I promise. Now, speak,” Sebastian demanded.
“Frostclaw betrayed you. He gave me the video, and he told me about your mother. He did this because of a woman,” Yvette revealed.
“Lillian!” Sebastian exclaimed in shock.
Yvette was somewhat surprised that Sebastian guessed it so quickly.
Sebastian hurriedly took out his phone and called Lillian, but after a few rings, the call was disconnected. When he tried again, her phone was turned off. He then called Lord Frostclaw, but his phone was also off.
As he was about to call Joseph, he received an incoming call from Joseph instead.
As soon as he answered, Joseph’s urgent voice came through.
“O” Supreme One, something terrible has happened. Lord Frostclaw killed two guards and forcibly took Ms. Smith!”
“Alright, I understand. Send people to search for them immediately,” Sebastian instructed before hanging up the phone. He then looked at Yvette and asked, “Do you know where Frostclaw went?”
“We were only temporary partners. Why would he tell me where he’s going? You promised to let me go. You can’t go back on your word,” Yvette murmured timidly.
“Fine, I’ll let you go this time. But I’m warning you, if it happens again, I will kill you!” Sebastian declared.
With that, he took off, speeding toward the parking area. He traversed the landscape with lightning speed, leaping up the sides of the towering mountains with ease.
Yvette watched in astonishment, unable to recover from the shock for a long time.
This was beyond what any human could do.
Ravenview City was surrounded by many mountains. Even though the mountains were not particularly large, they were still densely packed. Misty Oak Mountain was one of them.
Less than ten miles from Misty Oak Mountain was a hill called Beak Peak.
Beak Peak was over 300 feet tall and shaped like a chicken’s beak, hence its name. Despite its modest size, the hill was covered in dense forest, and a wire fence enclosed the area to prevent wild animals from escaping.
This hill was home to many wild animals, so people generally avoided it.
However, there were two small log cabins within the woods of this hill. They were well hidden as tall trees surrounded them.
