Remorse After Breaking Up

"Take me on together. I'm intrigued to see how capable you are!" Sebastian goaded arrogantly.

He had no fear despite the dire situation he was in right now. Even if he couldn't defeat them, he wouldn't let them stop him from escaping.

Fin flashed a suggestive smirk. "O Supreme One, don't you feel a bit dizzy?"

Sebastian's expression shifted. He was indeed feeling quite lightheaded, yet he didn't give it much heed. Realization began to settle in now as the puzzle pieces clicked into place.

"When did you poison me?"

"Give it a guess." Fin smirked.

Sebastian quickly recalled what happened earlier, and a few things became jarringly obvious to him.

"The wildflowers and candlesticks. Oh yeah, and the tea, too."

Those three things weren't poisonous on their own. Even combining two of them wouldn't cause any harm. However, they were fatal once all three were combined.

He'd been careful, but he still fell into their trap.

"I've heard of your prowess in both medicine and martial arts. You're remarkable indeed, having figured it out so quickly." Fin applauded.

"Since you're aware of my skills, don't you find it absurd to poison me?" Sebastian sneered. He was actually trying to buy time so he could force the toxins out of his body.

Fin saw right through him. "Of course I wouldn't use an ordinary poison, knowing how experienced you are in medicine.

"I read about this formula in an ancient book. Dindle flowers, Zential blend, and Puteo tea are completely fine when they're used individually, but it's deadly once combined. This poison even has a lovely name—Crimson Kiss!

"It'll corrode your organs first. Gases will begin to accumulate in your body, and finally, 'boom!' Your body explodes. It's quite a spectacular scene when your blood is splattered everywhere, isn't it?"

"You're underestimating me. You can't harm me with such a meek poison," Sebastian said scornfully. He suddenly swerved around and decked one of the women.

Holly Cooper was shocked. She immediately retaliated with her sword, and Yanny Cooper aided her right away. She brandished her sword at Sebastian's abdomen.

"You're doomed!"

Fin snorted, delivering a blow midair toward Sebastian. A terrifying wave of energy gushed out from his palm, eager to destroy everything in its way.

Seasoned in countless battles, Sebastian had anticipated this moment once he launched his attack. Attacking Holly was merely a feint. He suddenly dodged to the side, and the wave of energy struck Holly instead.

With a resounding clash, Holly was thrown backward. She spat a mouthful of blood midair and died before her body collapsed to the ground.

"Holly!" both Fin and Yanny cried.

"You asshole, I'm going to kill you!" Fin burst into a fit of rage. He couldn't believe he'd just killed his granddaughter by accident because of Sebastian.

He appeared before Sebastian in the blink of an eye and punched him in the face.

Sebastian tilted his head to the side, dodging his attack. He swung his foot at Fin's stomach promptly, and Fin was also quick to react.

They immediately engaged in close combat while Yanny waited for an opportunity to strike. She would strike Sebastian occasionally with her sword, making things even more difficult for him.

Sebastian was eager to fend off Fin quickly, yet his strength was on par with his. Furthermore, Yanny had been a great nuisance. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Not to mention that he had to maneuver a part of his energy to suppress the poison, causing him unable to exert his full strength. All odds were against him.

…

At the same time, Lillian was forcibly brought to an office on the Shadowtiger Group's top floor.

"Get out, all of you. No one is allowed to come in without my orders," Andrew bellowed.

Bryce and his men retreated in haste, not forgetting to close the door. They knew Andrew was going to have fun with Lillian. She was the belle of Ravenview, after all; all men fantasized about her.

They could only envy Andrew, hoping he'd perhaps share her with them once he got tired of her.

Sensing her impending doom, Lillian was petrified. The colors drained from her face once Andrew drew closer to her.
