Chapter 38
The poison was way worse than what Sebastian had expected. His strength to suppress it was failing him.
He could no longer pursue Fin. Instead, he spun around and glared at Yanny, a ruthless glint flickering in his eyes.
Yanny's face paled. She turned around and ran.
Of course, Sebastian wouldn't let her escape. He leaped and landed in front of her with a somersault. Seizing her neck, he hissed, "I'll spare you if you give me the antidote!"
"It's with my grandpa! Don't kill me. I'll have him bring the antidote in exchange for my life," Yanny pleaded.
"He has already escaped. Why would he even return? Even if he does, I can't wait until then.
"Since you don't have the antidote, then don't blame me for being ruthless," Sebastian retorted. He suddenly tore her clothes open.
"Argh! What are you doing? Stop!" Yanny screamed, struggling frantically to break free.
Sebastian delivered a crisp slap to her face. He was ruthless to those who intended to kill him, even if she was a beauty.
Yanny was stunned by the blow. She didn't dare to resist any longer, so she was quickly stripped bare by Sebastian.
He pushed her to the ground and pounced on her.
In order to live, Yanny had given up on resisting. She genuinely hoped Sebastian would succumb to the poison soon.
Sebastian was merciless. He wasn't driven by lust, nor was he seeking the last sliver of pleasure before his death. It was solely for getting rid of the poison. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
He recalled a method akin to grafting. Thus, he intended to shift the poison to Yanny. This was his only conceivable solution, and he wasn't even sure whether it would work. Still, he had to give it a shot.
In the end, not only did he utilize the dual cultivation method to get rid of the poison, but his strength also transcended to a superior level.
Yanny was oblivious to his change. The color drained from her face once she noticed that he had yet to succumb to the poison.
"Please let me go. I won't go against you in the future," Yanny pleaded, looking pitiable.
"You're not bad for an Islander woman. Your figure's perfect, and your skin is flawless. I'm pleased with your performance earlier, so I won't kill you. But you have to tell me where the amulet is."
"I have no idea." Yanny shook her head hastily.
"Do you want to die, then?" Sebastian sneered.
Shuddering in fear, Yanny went to the inner hall. She activated a secret panel on the wall and obtained a small box. The amulet was inside.
Sebastian picked it up and scrutinized it. A smile slowly spread across his features. This was exactly the amulet he'd been searching for.
Though it wasn't an easy journey, he still managed to acquire it. This trip was worth it.
He didn't turn back on his words. He left after obtaining the amulet.
Before he reached the foot of the mountain, he heard a deafening explosion from the woods. He didn't have to turn and look to tell that Yanny died.
It was a vicious poison indeed. If he hadn't thought of a way to deal with it, he would be dead by now.
As Sebastian neared the bottom of the mountain, he suddenly noticed his car was gone.
"Shoot!" He felt that something was off. Dashing down the mountain, he realized the car wasn't the only one missing—Natalie was nowhere to be seen as well.
She wouldn't have left without waiting for him. Everything pointed to one explanation—Fin must have taken her with him.
Sebastian was fuming. He was worried, unsure whether Fin would harm Natalie.
Although she was just his secretary, she understood him well and was extremely loyal. She was also very considerate. He had to save her no matter what.
However, he had no idea where Fin was. He could only return home and plan his next move.
Few ventured down the road leading to the mountain, so it took Sebastian a while to come across a car.
The car owner even suspected he was a scammer and refused to let him on board. It was the same with all the other cars as well before he finally encountered a kind truck driver who gave him a ride back to the city.
Sebastian rushed back to Phoenix Corporation immediately and summoned Casper.
"Greetings, Mr. Wilder," Casper said.
"Natalie has been abducted by Dragonheart's vice president, Fin Cooper. Get all our men to search for her now. Make sure to locate her as soon as possible."
"Noted!" Casper gave out his orders right away. Then, he suddenly fell to the ground on his knees before Sebastian.
"Mr. Wilder, I have something to report to you."
"Yes?"
"Mrs. Wilder was taken by Andrew's men," Casper said.
"What?" Sebastian sprang up. The air in the room immediately hung thick with his soaring murderous intent.
