Chapter 573
Sebastian raised his hand and delivered a resounding slap to Charles face.
Although Charles was furious, he didn't dare to show it. He was completely terrified.
"Weren't you acting all high and mighty just a moment ago? Let's see you try that again," Sebastian taunted.
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have acted so arrogantly in front of you. Please, forgive me," Charles bowed his head as he admitted defeat.
"You're the crown prince of Cereria-a man of noble birth and high status. How could you lower yourself and submit to someone as insignificant as me?" Sebastian mocked.
Charles quickly responded, "No, no, you're the one who's truly noble and powerful. I'm the one who's lowly and worthless. Please, forgive me. I'll never dare to offend you again."
"I recall you saying something about wanting to sleep with my fiancée a hundred times."
"I was wrong. I apologize to the both of you. I'm truly sorry."
"Words alone aren't enough. When you make a mistake, you have to pay the price," Sebastian said knowingly.
"What do you want? I'm willing to compensate you... How about 10 billion dollars? No, 20 billion dollars!" Charles offered.
"Do you think you can buy me off with that pocket change?" Sebastian responded coldly.
"Name your price," Charles said.
"One trillion dollars," Sebastian stated.
"What? A trillion dollars? You might as well just rob me!"
Charles was furious. He had expected Sebastian to make a steep demand, but he hadn't anticipated this outrageous figure.
Sebastian smiled faintly as he said, "That's not a bad idea. If you think a trillion dollars is too much, then I don't mind bringing my men to your royal palace and taking it by force. I doubt I'd have any trouble coming up with a trillion dollars that way." Charles was both shocked and enraged, but he knew that Sebastian wasn't joking.
Over the past few years, Sebastian had led the Supreme Platoon in conquering numerous small nations and defeating them with ease, as if there were no resistance at all.
What made them truly terrifying was their penchant for decapitation strikes and killing enemy leaders without a trace. Even after years of battles, they hadn't lost a single member. en
"I don't have that much money," Charles said.
"That's not my problem. If you don't come up with a trillion dollars within half an hour, I'll slice you up and feed you to the dogs," Sebastian said coldly.
Trembling Charles quickly took out
his phone and called his father to ask for the money. The royal family of Cereria was indeed wealthy, and it wasn't long before the trillion was transferred.
"You can fuck off now. Let me warn you, if you ever set foot in Dragotha again, you'll lose your life!" Sebastian warned.
Charles didn't dare to utter a single word of protest and hurriedly had his men carry him away.
Sebastian then approached Marie, who was kneeling on the ground. Marie was trembling with fear that Sebastian might turn his anger on her.
"Do you think I'm worthy of your daughter now?" Sebastian asked.
Marie quickly replied, "You're more than worthy. I was blind before. Please, I beg for your forgiveness."
"Get up. You're Esme's mother, so you're going to be my mother-in-law. How could I let you kneel before me?" Sebastian asked.
"Thank you, Supreme One," Marie replied as she sighed in relief. Her legs were still weak, and she had to be helped up by Esme.
At that moment, Gina approached, dragging Lyra with her. She said, "Supreme One, she tried to escape, but I caught her. What should we do with her?"
"Sebastian... please, we're family. Just give me one more chance. I promise I won't cause any more trouble."
"Lyra, I've let you off the hook many times for Lillian's sake. This will be the last time. Now, get lost!" Sebastian shouted.
Lyra nearly wet herself in fear before scrambling away.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
With the situation finally under control, Sebastian was about to leave with Esme when a mysterious and ethereal voice suddenly echoed throughout the hall. "Sebastian, you've become quite bold. Come out and face your death!"
