The Thirteen Elites were martial arts experts secretly trained by Alec. They were either traitors or outcasts from thirteen different sects. They were all ruthless, violent, and utterly remorseless. They were also known as the cleaners of the Griffin family, often handling Alec's under-the-table deals.At this moment, thirteen scary figures emerged from all corners of the estate. Their appearance alone was enough to instill fear. Several of them bore terrifying brands on their faces. Those were not tattoos but burn marks embedded in their flesh."Well, well, what a tender young man." A seductive woman with her eyes glinting coldly sneered as she licked her bright red lips and stared at Sebastian. Her voluptuous figure swayed as she walked, her ample chest bouncing. Her very presence exuded a sinister vibe that screamed, "Stay away.""Black Widow! Calm down. You get too excited whenever you see a man," grumbled a burly man who was muscular. He had dark skin, and his arms were c

Sebastian carried Rosalie away from the Griffin residence and booked a suite at a five-star hotel. After resting for a while, Rosalie felt much better.Sebastian then asked, "Why are you suddenly marrying Stephen?""It's not me who wants to marry him. My mom is forcing me to!" Rosalie replied angrily.She then explained the situation. Her mother had tricked her into returning to Janover by claiming there was a problem with the Griffin family. Once back, her uncle, Alec had her confined. At first, Rosalie resisted, but then Alec drugged her with Rohypnol.Sebastian's face darkened. "Your mother is ruthless.""I will never speak to her again!" Rosalie declared angrily."So what do you plan to do now?""What else can I do? I'm definitely not marrying Stephen!" Rosalie said firmly. She then looked at Sebastian with a sudden smile. "Maybe I should marry you instead. That way, my mom can't do anything about it."Sebastian frowned. "I think it's better if I just take you back home

Stephen's hundreds of guards charged at Sebastian with a deafening roar. The hotel lobby was thrown into chaos, filled with shouting and the rush of bodies.Sebastian's eyes narrowed, and his face darkened. Without wasting a breath, he sprang into action.In the blink of an eye, Sebastian moved like lightning, disappearing from view. The next moment, cries of agony erupted.Ten of the guards were sent flying, clutching their chests as they hit the ground, coughing up blood and dying instantly.Before the others could react, a dark blur passed by them. Sebastian moved swiftly, breaking arms with a sickening crack. Then, screams of pain filled the air. It was a complete massacre.The hundreds of Beckard family guards barely caught a glimpse of Sebastian before they saw their comrades falling one after another. His figure flickered like a ghost, appearing and disappearing before their eyes.Within moments, all the guards were down. They were writhing on the ground and groaning

After Zephyr finished speaking, he raised his hand and waved. The faint red evil spirit behind him leaped toward Sebastian. Wherever it passed, it was like being struck by a storm. The floor tiles shattered, and the walls, doors, windows, and furnishings all cracked and burst apart. Even the chandeliers above exploded one by one with a popping sound.Seeing this scene, the other four elders also showed disdain toward Sebastian."Mr. Nolan is really angry. No one can survive under this evil spirit.""It's been many years since I've seen Zephyr act like this.""Looking at this momentum, it seems that Zephyr's strength has improved again."Several people nodded in succession as they commented on Zephyr.Stephen, who saw the terrifying blood-red evil spirit, was also scared. He apparently had not seen this situation before.It was so scary.Was this what martial arts sects practiced?No wonder his father often instructed him to respect the worshipers in their house."Sebastian,

At Janover's Department of Defense.In a heavily guarded office, a dozen elderly men with gray hair and dressed in military uniforms were seated. Each bore stars on their shoulders. They were an assembly of generals.A stern-faced elder with a square jaw and an air of authority wore a military green uniform adorned with five gold stars. His mere presence commanded respect.He stood in front of a massive screen, with his hands clasped behind his back and expression grave as he watched a constantly flashing red dot on the electronic display."Celestial?" The elder's face darkened as he stared at the flashing dot on the screen. "Send a team to investigate what's happening.""Yes, sir." A soldier promptly left the conference room.Meanwhile, at the Ballard family estate in Janover, the entire manor was perched atop a mountain and exuded magnificence.The manor gave off a majestic and awe-inspiring atmosphere, with the entire mountain belonging to the Ballard family in Janover.
