Sebastian nodded in Holden’s direction and said emotionlessly, “It’s good to have you leading the way. After all, I’m not as familiar with your Payne Manor as you are.”Holden said, “This way, please!”Sabrina was stunned. She was impressed. How could Holden still remain so calm at a time like this?Sabrina did not move. Aino did not move either. Holden turned and looked sadly at the mother and daughter pair, then smiled, “Why? The two of you weren’t afraid to be here at all yesterday. Now that your husband has rounded up my manor, is this when you start fearing me?”Sabrina bit her lip and was about to say something, but the little girl whose hand she held in hers, cut her to it. “Uncle Holden,” Aino called out to him.Sabrina was silent.Sebastian was silent too.However, the one who was the most shocked was Holden. The expression on his face switched from surprise to touched gratitude. He looked at Aino and asked softly, “Aino, you…what did you just call me?”Aino looked

However, Sebastian’s laugh sounded incredibly calm and emotionless in comparison. “I won’t restrict the way you think. If you hurt even a hair on their heads, your head would be separated from your body right now. Holden Payne, do you know why I asked you to lead the way? Why did I ask you to lead us to your place first? That’s purely because of the love and care you had for my wife and daughter.”Holden fell silent.In this moment, he was in extreme despair. The entire island had taken every single precaution. They were ready. They even borrowed so many weapons and soldiers from the Poole family in Kidon City. However, they did not use any of it in the end.They were rounded up by Sebastian’s men instead without sparing an ounce of effort. His soldiers lined the grounds outside the manor.In this moment, Holden was even prepared to commit suicide.Sebastian seemed to have eyes on his back, “Lead the way! If you can give me a most suitable explanation, I can consider not killing y

“Hahaha! You ugly little thing! You came to cause trouble again.” At that moment, Aino, who was lying in her mother’s arms, burst out laughing.The person who barged in was none other than Selene Lynn.The white bandages were still wrapped around her head, and she looked like a clown indeed. Moreover, she was so stick-thin, without a hint of color or life in her cheeks.Aino’s words were true. She looked like a mixture of a ghost and a clown. However, Selene did not care whether Aino addressed her as a clown or a ghost at that moment. All she wanted was to make sure Sebastian would not really kill her and would even send her safely home to South City. Her grandfather called her earlier and confirmed this. Selene was delighted. She ignored Aino’s taunts and only looked at Sebastian with a face full of gleeful satisfaction.Sebastian raised his head and threw a glance at her, then said coolly to the hired soldier standing guard, “Throw this woman out. If you see her coming in a

However, the Summer family disagreed. All sorts of conflicts of interest combined with the weak and inability of the Summer family drove them to extinction.It was only natural in the business world, where the strong feasted on the weak. However, 20 years later, the daughter of the Summer family was forced to become a mistress to one of the Ford men. It was the woes and source of resentment between the Ford family of South City and the Summer family of Star Island.Sebastian was the Summer family’s maternal grandson, but he was the paternal grandson of the Ford family. What was he supposed to do then?The dead could never come back alive. He could only rebuild and repair the family residence that remained on this island as an homage to them.As for the hatred between the two families, Sebastian had killed almost all of the Ford family. Finally, it was only himself, his father, and his daughter that were left. Who else could he kill?“Do you know my mother?” Sebastian asked o

Sebastian, who rarely spoke, heaved a long, deep sigh. He finally said, “This piece of land belonged to my mother’s family. They have been controlling this area for generations. Although it wasn’t well-developed, the people here lived in peace and harmony. Later on, the Ford family shattered the peace the islanders enjoyed and drove my mother’s family to extinction. She harbored her hatred in her chest till the day she died.”“Although I carry the Ford name, half of my blood belongs to the Summer family and flows in my veins. I came here to find what I was looking for. How could I wage war on this land and cause pain and suffering for its residents?”Sabrina could not help herself and hugged her husband when she listened to his words, “My dear…”He continued, “Since I was a teenager living in exile abroad, I had been planning for this day, building my private army step by step, growing and strengthening it, stationing them all over the world, wherever they were needed.”“Holden, ha

“Sebastian Ford! Do you think you were the only one who was exiled as a teenager abroad and forbidden to return home? I was once exiled too.”Holden looked at Sebastian pitifully, “At least when you were exiled abroad, your father gave you a generous allowance, while your mother was a senior architect and had an enviable job abroad. Although you were in exile, you didn’t need to worry about feeding yourself, or whether you had any warm clothes to cover your body, you even had extra money to socialize and make friends. However, what about me?”Sebastian was silent.At this moment, in his eyes, Holden did not seem like an enemy. He was more like a disgruntled housewife who was venting her frustrations instead. “I didn’t have anything! All I could rely on was my business-savvy smarts and my viciousness to help build my empire. I could stay in the East Hall of the Payne Manor and bossed my brother around because I sponsored my brother with one billion dollars! One billion!”“With tha

When the three of them were still stuck in a daze, a bored voice rang out from above their heads.“Sebastian! Faith really is a mysterious thing, even though I didn’t know you had already taken absolute control of the entire island, but since the day I entered the Payne Manor, I made a backup plan for myself. I am the only one who knows about this secret passageway that leads to the underwater tunnel. This is an escape route that I prepared for myself! I will not admit defeat!” “Never!”The voice drifted further and further away until it finally disappeared altogether. Sebastian immediately ordered his men to investigate the secret passageway. A short moment later, the soldiers found the entrance to the passageway and opened it. However, they realized it had been sealed from the other end after a short distance into the tunnel. More than ten soldiers reported to Sebastian guiltily, blaming themselves for Holden’s escape, “Master Sebastian, this is our fault. We have been hiding

In the past, all she knew was that her husband was a cold-blooded killer and took the lives of others with a snap of fingers and a smile on his face. However, she never knew there was a side of him that loved and appreciated life so much.He conquered the entire Star Island without mobilizing a single soldier or firing a single bullet. It looked easy. However, in reality, this resulted from his dedicated planning and arrangements for the past six years. Sebastian soon started the repair and restoration work on the Payne Manor and the old residence of the Summer family. He ordered the Payne Manor to be restored to its glory, like how it used to look when controlled by the Summer family. Portraits of the Summer family ancestors were hung up in the manor as a sign of respect and homage to them.All these arrangements did not take much time. After the necessary decisions were made, the restoration works were completed within a week.Sebastian placed the Lynn family and the Payne fam
