The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)
Chapter 1613

That gave Karl an epiphany, and he finally understood what Sebastian was implying.

“You mean Jason is planning on returning to Elysium to fight for the king's position?” he asked.With his eyes still fixated on the cigarette, Sebastian's lips curled in disdain as he replied, “Perhaps.It's also possible that he's simply being used as a pawn by someone else.”

Karl froze

A pawn? What does he mean by that?

"You mean...”

“Calvin had never left SteelFort when Charles went looking for him, so no one had ever seen hisface. After that incident in which Calvin was captured, that b*stard was the only one who had seenhim, but he's dead now. Who else do you think would still remember his face?”

Karl stared at Sebastian, his mind in turmoil.

He's right! Why didn't I think of that? Being SteelFort's best assassin, Calvin rarely showed himselfbefore his enemies! Even if he did, he would be sure to keep his face hidden. The first time he showedhis face was when he parted ways with Mr. Hayes at the nightclub in Jadeborough. They were dealingwith the Jadesons at the time. But shortly afterward, he was captured by that b*stard Hubert, and noone else seemed to have come into contact with him until Sabrina rescued him later on. Hubertworked for Alfred at the time. And Alfred works for Eddie!

His eyes were bloodshot after he came to that realization.

It was already evening by the time Vivian received a video call from Sebastian.

"Vivian, I have a question for you. Will you answer it for me?”

“Sure thing, Daddy!” Vivian replied while sitting in front of her laptop.

Feeling relieved, Sebastian wasted no time asking his seventeen-year-old daughter, “Vivian, do youstill remember Calvin?”

"Huh? H-How did you know about that, Daddy?" she stuttered, panicking a little as she did not tellSebastian about her meeting someone who looked the same as Calvin.

While guilt ate away at her conscience, she stared at her father anxiously.

To her surprise, however, Sebastian did not get mad at her in the slightest. Instead, he maintainedthat gentle look in his eyes as he said, “I've always known that, Vivian. I know you can't bringyourself to forget him. Now that the bad guys who caused his demise back then have reappeared, Iwant to ask you if you're willing to avenge Calvin by bringing them to justice.”

Vivian, who had spent the entire day waiting for Sebastian's update, did not expect him to say sucha thing at all.

Had Kurt been around to hear that, he, too, would replace it rather unbelievable. In his opinion, mostfathers would want to keep their daughters as far away from danger as possible, yet Sebastian didthe exact opposite.

Sasha had tears in her eyes as she watched from the side.

The next thing they saw was Vivian, who used to be a scaredy-cat, leaped to her feet upon hearingthat she could avenge Calvin by bringing the bad guys to justice.

“Really? I'll do it, Daddy! I want to avenge Brother Cal! I want to get those bad guys arrested! I'mwilling to help!”

Sebastian had been hesitant about asking her that question as he did not know how she wouldrespond. Thus, seeing her agree to it readily set his heart at ease.

Unlike most parents who would want an easy life for their children, he preferred for them tobecome capable individuals.

lan was probably the best example of what he wanted out of his children.

Noticing that lan was devastated by his best friend's betrayal, Sebastian helped him get back on hisfeet by giving him missions.

He did not want to overindulge his children because that would make them weak. Just like how agood sword would require a lot of tempering, a person would have to go through many hardshipsto grow stronger.

To wear a crown, one must bear its weight.

Like her brother, Vivian accepted the mission that Sebastian had tasked her with.

Sasha waited until the two of them had ended the video call before asking worriedly, “If that motherand son duo truly are suspicious, wouldn't it be dangerous for Vivian to go to school there?”"Don't worry about that. I'll arrange for Karl to protect her during her time there,” Sebastianreassured.

“All right, then...” she replied, feeling at ease that Vivian would be under Karl's protection.However, she soon thought of Kurt.

"What about Kurt, then? He'll go looking for Vivian if he knows she has transferred all of a sudden,won't he? Do you think he'd interfere with the plan if he replaces out about it?"q
