Sebastian was proficient in ip reading, and caught Gabriel’s mattered threat, “I’ll come back and deal with you later.”

He dismissed the threat with indifference.

Surveying the crowd kneeling before him, he couldn’t resist a sneer. “All of you were so bold earlier, and now you grovel before me?”

“We kneel for Lord Wavebreaker, not you! Who the hell are you?” Lionel retorted fiercely.

“That’s right, this guy is so arrogant. He must have angered Lord Wavebreaker, and that’s why we’re being punished,” another voice chimed in.

“Daring to anger Lord Wavebreaker is a death sentence! He’ll never let you off, you’re as good as dead, lad, someone else added.

The crowd’s anger was palpable as they hurled accusations at Sebastian.

Unfazed, Sebastian scoffed, “You fools still don’t grasp the situation. Didn’t you notice how Lord Wavebreaker didn’t even dare to breathe loudly after meeting me? I’m the only one who can handle him.”

“How dare you!”

“Insolence!”

“Such arrogance!”

“How dare you insult Lord Wavebreaker! Even if he overlooks it, his men won’t spare you. You’re dead!”

The crowd was seething.

“Sebastian, stop this. If you keep this up, you’re really heading for a dead end,” Lillian interjected angrily

Sebastian just smiled and responded confidently, “I’m not talking nonsense. Everything I’ve said is true. I would say the same even if Lord Wavebreaker stood before me right now.

Pointing at Sebastian, Lionel gritted his teeth and spat out, “You fool, you’re just begging for death. I bet you won’t see tomorrow’s sunrise. If you do, I’ll ditch my family name and call myself a Wilder.”

“Deal. Make sure to remember, you’ll be a wilder from tomorrow onward,” Sebastian replied.

“You sure are sharp–tongued. We’ll see how long you can keep this up,” Linnel furned, his anger simmering.

Jordan scoffed, “Mr. Lionel, there’s no need to get upset over a dead man walking. Once it gets dark, we’ll make our move and send this kid to the great beyond!”

Lillian paled at their threats. She rushed to Sebastian, handing him a card “There’s a million dollars in the card. Take the money and get as far away as you can, fast.”

Lionel exploded, his face twisted in rage “Lillian, you’re my fiancée How can you betray me like this?”

Evelyn was equally incensed as shechimed in, “You foolish girl! If you give him that money, you’re no longer my daughter”

Elijah’s voice was stern as he added, “Your mother is right. Put that card away. If you dare give it to him, I’ll disown you from the family.”

Ronan, Lucas, and others also joined in on criticizing her.

To them, a million dollars was nothing, but giving it to Sebastian was unacceptable. They all thoroughly despised Sebastian, and helping him was tantamount to opposing everyone else.

Despite the rising hostility, Sebastian remained infuriatingly calm. He turned to Lillian, a soft smile playing on his lips. “Lan, keep your card. I won’t take it, and I’m not leaving Ravenview City.”

“But you’ll die if you stay,” Lillian insisted, her voice laden with worry.

“Don’t worry, the person who can kill me hasn’t been born yet, Sebastian replied confidently, then pulled Lillian into his arms.

“What are you doing? Lian exclaimed. She was startled and attempted to pull away

“Don’t move, let me hold you for a while, Sebastian whispered.

Sensing the gravity of the moment, Lillian stopped resisting. A pang of sorrow shot through her; Sebastian’s time might be running out, and she wouldn’t deny him this small

solace.

The sight sent Lionel into a blind rage. “Let her go!”

“I won’t Want her back? Come and get her yourself, Sebastian taunted with a mocking smile, beckoning Lionel with his fingers.
