“I can fully understand now why your brother rather dies instead of handing over the position toyou. It's because you don't deserve it!” Sebastian enunciated clearly, gritting his teeth.

Slap!

Right after he said that, a man who was standing beside his bed landed a tight slap acrossSebastian's face, causing him to see black.

The burning sensation on his face, coupled with the injury on his head made him feeble to move amuscle. There was blood in his mouth too.

“I'll finish you off personally should you be rude to the Chairman once more.”

“Let it slide for he knows nothing. It's normal for a man with a mental problem to spew nonsense.Restrain him here and keep an eye on him. I'll have a chat with him when I'm back.” Then, Eddie left.In a daze, Sebastian heard his words. He bit his tongue in order to stay conscious.

"Hang on, I'm not done with you. You haven't told me your plans. I don't believe that I'll ose to you,even if... even if your men are all over Jadeborough. Mind you, the army is with the Jadesons, and sois the White House. How are you going to launch an attack? Huh?” Sebastian yelled at the top of hislungs.

He used up all of his strength, trying to wriggle free of the restraint. Instantly, both his wrists wereleft with blood marks. Yet, he continued to break free from the handcuffs, just to call out to Eddie.He wanted to know Eddies plan so badly.

Fortunately, his provocation worked. Arrogant people usually could not stand being challenged. Theold man stopped in his tracks and responded with a cold laugh. “Army?”

He then continued, "What's the use even if the Jadesons control the army? Do you actually thinkthat the regular weapons that they use can defeat my explosives? Let me tell you a secret, the entiremilitary base has been covered with explosives since yesterday. Activating the electrical current is allit takes to blow the base up. Do you remember how I blasted the Sheerwood residence, which isabove our heads?”

There was a pin-drop silence in the room.

When Sebastian heard that, his face dropped. Discouraged, the man who had been holleringbecame as quiet as a mouse.

"Well, you don't need to be anxious. If they are willing to raise the white flag, I won't get rid of them.My goal is to make them surrender, not to kill them,” Eddie declared as if it was a noble thing to do.Once he left, the basement was locked up with a thud, leaving only Sebastian and a man who hadbeen assigned to watch him

Jadeborough is screwed. The military is done for. The White House is doomed.

Feeling dejected, Sebastian lay motionless on the bed, knowing that he had lost the upper hand.“Hahaha...” mocked the guard who was watching him as he stood up to fetch himself a glass ofwater.

Who says that this lunatic is a super capable person? He's just like any Tom, Dick, and Harry, beingtoyed around by the Chairman.

While the guard was approaching the water dispenser, he did not notice how Sebastian's hawkisheyes lit up with a sparkle.

In a flash, he stretched out that one hand which was not handcuffed and reached behind his ears.Knock... Knock, knock... Knock, knock... He tapped a series of morse codes while keeping an eye onthe guard.

By the time he had finished delivering his hidden message, he was drenched in sweat. There wasalso a bright red mark on his fingertip.

Besides the existing injury on the head and aching all over his body, Sebastian was also injectedsome unknown drugs when Eddie abducted him.

All of these had finally taken a toll on him. Physically, he could no longer take it and collapsedthereafter.

Though the guard at the basement saw that Sebastian had fainted, he could not care less.Conversely, the guard turned on the television and watched leisurely.

He recalled Eddie saying that he would broadcast the battle with Sebastian to the world, with themain purpose of showcasing how he regained political power.

However, what was shown on the television was nothing he had imagined it to be althoughJadeborough appeared on the screen. It was nothing close to the impact he wanted to see.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

While the phone at Oceanic Estate was ringing incessantly, Sasha was busy taking care of the manwho had just been rescued home.

“Bad news, Sasha. A few places in the city center have been attacked by terrorists. Similarly, it's alsohappening at the subway stations, train stations, and other locations. Can Sebastian talk now?”Sabrina panicked.

She was so worked up because Devin had gone to the White House whereas Jonathan was at themilitary base. Only two women were left behind with the kids at home. There was no way she couldcalm herself down.

Upon hearing the updates, Sasha, too, was terror-stricken.

She took a glance at the man who had bandages on his head and legs.

He's still in a coma. What should I do?

“He's still unconscious. Why don't you give Devin a call?” Sasha suggested helplessly.
