A moment later, the disciples of Drager Martial Arts were shaking uncontrollably from the heavy rain. Several of them couldn't bear it and passed out."Robert, how much do you know about Drager Martial Arts?" Sebastian asked Robert beside him.Robert explained, "Drager Martial Arts ranks first among the various martial arts schools in Steinberg. They are formidable and have many members, but their quality varies. The head of Drager Martial Arts is a man named Jacob Stewart, who is likely a Grandmaster."Robert added, "He's known to be sociable and has connections with various figures from all walks of life. Many notorious criminals and thugs are said to be associated with Drager Martial Arts too. "In essence, Drager Martial Arts is not just a martial arts school. It functions more like a martial arts alliance. And Jacob is its leader, holding considerable power and influence in Steinberg."Upon hearing this, Sebastian frowned slightly, but his expression remained calm as he said,

A Grandmaster in his twenties? That was downright terrifying!Someone like that could go places in the martial arts world, no doubt. But why would such a talent be stuck hiding out here?"Mr. Stewart, are you okay?" A couple of disciples hurried over, looking concerned.Jacob frowned, shaking his head. "I'm fine. That punk just sucker-punched me when I wasn't looking. What a cheap shot!"Jacob wasn't about to admit he got outplayed. It'd deal a blow to his authority.The disciples caught on quickly, turning to Sebastian with accusations."You sneaky little… Who attacks from behind?""Screw this! Let's take him down, guys!""Mr. Stewart, let us handle this for you."The disciples were all fired up, itching for a fight.Jacob's eyes narrowed, his voice cold as he said, "No need. I'll deal with him personally!"With a roar, Jacob unleashed his internal energy and threw another punch at Sebastian. The punch was fierce and domineering!But Sebastian didn't even flinch. He caught

"We're planning to rush Ms. Carlton into surgery right away to get those silver needles out," the hospital director said, looking visibly anxious."What's the holdup then? Get her into surgery now!" Kevin urged."Right away." The director nodded, motioning for his assistant to wheel Lorraine into the operating room.But then, Richard said, "Hold on a second!""What is it, Mr. Jett?" Kevin asked, his tone tinged with suspicion.Frowning, Richard asked, "Did you just say there are more than a dozen silver needles inside Ms. Carlton's body?""Yeah, it seems like whoever attacked her deliberately left them there to torture her," the director explained, wiping sweat from his brow."Let me see those scans," Richard demanded."Of course." The director quickly handed over the CT scans to Richard.After a brief look, Richard's expression turned to one of shock. "Hell's 13 Needles!" A wave of astonishment swept through the room, with every expert, the director, and Kevin himself weari

The renowned doctors exchanged glances and shook their heads.Kevin was furious and desperate."Get out! All of you, get out!"The doctors hurriedly left the room with their heads bowed.Inside the room, Kevin vented his rage, "Incompetent! They're all a bunch of incompetent doctors! They boast about their superior medical skills, yet they can't even remove a few silver needles!""Dad... it hurts, it hurts so much..." Suddenly, Lorraine moaned in pain from her hospital bed.Kevin's heart sank with worry hearing her cries. "Mr. Carlton Senior, it's not looking well! Ms. Carlton's seven orifices are bleeding!"one of Kevin's subordinates by the bed suddenly exclaimed.Kevin's face turned pale with shock. "How could this be happening? Lorraine, Lorraine… Get the doctors. Call them over right now!" Moments later, the doctors rushed in, swiftly attending to Lorraine.Finally, Lorraine escaped the grasp of death, but the situation had turned dire.Richard spoke up beside Kevin and

"You're not going anywhere! You'll come with us to the Sunway Carlton family and face whatever consequences they have in store for you!" Dante shouted."Maybe if you behave, you'll get to live!" Crystal added, her voice dripping with cruelty.Sebastian raised an eyebrow, his gaze sharp as he looked at Crystal. She immediately took a few steps back, visibly intimidated. "What are you looking at? Thinking of starting something right here?" she said, fear evident in her voice."Dante, get him! Bring him in!" Crystal ordered, her tone commanding.Dante nodded, gesturing with a sweep of his hand. "Attack!" he shouted, and the dozen henchmen moved to grab Sebastian."No, don't!" Whitney hurried forward, trying to intervene.Sebastian frowned, preparing to defend himself.Just then, a butler burst into the room, panic written all over his face. "Madam Sutton, something's wrong! The Carlton family's people are here!""What?" Edna exclaimed, her face paled as she stood up, her body tr
