Sebastian laughed mockingly at his demands. Jay asked angrily, "What are you laughing at?""How dare he laugh this way in front of Mr. Smolder. He's basically mocking him!" Jay thought. Sebastian shook his head and said coldly, "The Smolder family is just mediocre. Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have some influence in Dramon's traditional medicine field?"Triston, have you forgotten how you knelt in front of me four years ago, asking me to be your mentor?"The moment Sebastian said those words, everyone in the room was stunned, and they all widened their eyes in shock.What did he mean by that?Sally and Shannon gave each other a look. Then, Sally quickly said, "Dr. Smolder, t-this has nothing to do with us. He's the one who said it…""Sebastian, have you gone mad? Who gave you the guts to say such words? Are you trying to get us involved?" Shannon roared.Whitney was also extremely shocked. She quickly pulled the corners of Sebastian's clothes an
Grand mentor? What?Jay's expression changed, and he stared at Sebastian with wide eyes.What was going on? When Triston noticed Jay was still in a daze, he got up and slapped him. "What are you waiting for? Kneel!"Of course, Jay didn't dare to say anything. He knelt with a thud and said unwillingly to Sebastian, "It's truly a pleasure to be your apprentice, Dr. Ballard."However, Sebastian said, "You don't have the right to be my apprentice yet."Jay was stunned; no matter what he did, he was still wrong. Hence, he gave Triston a helpless look.Triston quickly said to Sebastian, "Dr. Ballard, my apprentice is sorry for his mistake. Please forgive him."Sebastian gave Triston a cold look.This sight had already made Shannon, Sally, and Whitney's jaws drop. Even the infamous Triston bowed to Sebastian, so did this mean Sebastian was extremely skilled?At this moment, Triston was still defending Jay.Sebastian exhaled and said, "Alright, get up."Jay quickly got up and stoo
Upon hearing this, Whitney's tears rolled down her cheeks. Just as she was about to question him, several green Jeeps suddenly stopped in front of them. The Jeeps barreled in aggressively.The car doors swung open, and several men in special uniforms with fierce expressions jumped out. Leading them was none other than Conrad Beck.With a sinister smile, Conrad walked toward Sebastian. "We meet again."Sebastian frowned, and he stepped forward to shield Whitney behind him. "Mr. Beck, is there something you need?" Sebastian asked, his voice carrying a hint of amusement.Whitney was terrified and nervous. She whispered, "Sebastian, what's going on? Who are they?""It's none of your concern. You should leave," Sebastian replied coldly.As soon as he finished speaking, Conrad roared, "Take him away!"Immediately, two members of the Alpha Strike Force stepped forward and were ready to apprehend Sebastian.Whitney panicked and rushed forward to stand between them. She shouted, "
Conrad's face was full of disdain as he sneered. "Don't bother asking. As long as you're here, you can't do anything anymore. Cuff his hands up!"With those words, two team members stepped forward and secured Sebastian's hands to the crossbar of a steel column. Conrad then picked up a branding iron from the hot coals. Its tip was glowing red, and he approached Sebastian with a malicious grin. "How about trying this one?"Sebastian remained calm, and his gaze fixed on the branding iron. "I wonder what the consequences are for an Alpha Strike Force officer using unauthorized torture?"Conrad laughed derisively. "Unauthorized torture? Who says this is unauthorized? Just now, I arrested you on charges of obstructing an Alpha Strike Force operation, assaulting its members, and treason."Sebastian's cold smile widened. "So, this is how the Alpha Strike Force conducts its investigations."Conrad's expression darkened. "You're already a dead man. But I do like to make deals. Leave Ms. G
At that moment, Conrad panicked and turned to run, but it was too late!Sebastian raised his hand and grabbed another metal whip. With a flick of his wrist, the metal whip cracked through the air and struck Conrad as he ran toward the door."Ah!" Conrad let out a scream. The metal whip hit him squarely on the back, embedding a dozen screws into his flesh, and he began to bleed. Conrad fell to the ground in agony and fury. He glared at Sebastian and shouted, "How dare you attack a member of the Alpha Strike Force! That's a death sentence for you and your family!"However, Sebastian just smiled calmly and said, "So?"As soon as he finished speaking, he whipped him again."Ah!" Conrad wailed in pain."This whip is for your unlawful arrest!"Conrad's clothes were torn to shreds, with his back a bloody mess."This second whip is for your abuse of power and misuse of your authority!""Ahhh... You bastard! You'll pay for this!" Conrad screamed and shouted in pain while desperatel
Sebastian chuckled, and he fixed his cold gaze on Klaus. "Captain Hindon, I'd like to know if the Alpha Strike Force in Steinberg is run by you?"Klaus sneered sarcastically. "Sebastian, Alpha Strike Force in Steinberg is indeed all under me! Got a problem with that? If you do, just keep it to yourself! Now, you either kneel, or I'll put you on trial according to the Alpha Strike Force law!""A trial?" Sebastian laughed and shook his head, his expression calm. "I'm afraid you don't have the authority for that, Captain Hindon.""Ridiculous! I have the power to do whatever I want here. I don't need any special authority to deal with a nobody like you." Klaus scoffed dismissively.Sebastian smirked slightly. "Is that so? Then let's wait and see."Klaus snorted at Sebastian's words. "From the way you talk, it seems like you have some special connections.""A bit," Sebastian replied calmly.Klaus chuckled and asked, "Really? I'd like to see who your connections are and if they can ge
Theresa frowned, and her expression turned grim. After a long pause, she sighed in resignation and dialed the number again. "Alright, I agree to your terms," she said coldly. "What do you need?" the man on the other end asked."Get someone out of Alpha Strike Force for me.""Name?""Sebastian Ballard," Theresa said coldly before hanging up.Meanwhile, in a large and austere office sat a middle-aged man in uniform with two gold stars on his shoulder straps. He had stern eyes and a commanding presence. He turned to his subordinate and ordered, "Inform Alpha Strike Force to locate someone named Sebastian.""Yes, general!" his subordinate responded promptly and left the office."Wait!" The man frowned. "Investigate this young man's background as well.""Yes, general!" his subordinate answered again and quickly exited the room.The man clasped his hands behind his back and looked out the window. He murmured to himself, "It seems like Sebastian must be very important to There
Meanwhile, in Steinberg's military base, a soldier in uniform quickly ran into the office of the military's commanding officer. Inside, Draco was lounging in a chair with his legs crossed. He was playing a game on his phone. Nearby, the commanding officer of the Steinberg garrison stood respectfully to await orders.The door was then pushed open, and the soldier walked in. He said, "Commander, there's trouble.""What is it?" Draco asked without looking up."Mr. Ballard was taken by the Alpha Strike Force."Draco's expression darkened. He put down his phone and asked coldly, "Why?""We haven't found out yet," the soldier replied.Draco frowned. He stood up and stretched his neck. "Interesting," he sneered. "The Alpha Strike Force must have a death wish to capture someone like him. Let's go take a look.""Yes, sir!"The soldier then followed Draco into a Jeep and headed straight for Steinberg's Alpha Strike Force base.…Sebastian was surrounded by Klaus and other members o
