Remorse After Breaking Up

Chapter 479

The Strauss family members were excited. With such a powerful son-in-law, they were confident Sebastian would bring many benefits to their family in the future.

"Clara, congratulations on finding such an outstanding husband," Artemis said sincerely, though she was envious. Even Clara had to admit that Sebastian was more impressive than she had expected. But every time she thought about how he had slapped her and forced himself on her, she became furious.

"A lackey's always going to be a lackey. You'll never get my respect, regardless of how skilled you are. Dream on," she thought bitterly.

The competition was nearing its end, with only one last round remaining.

Since Sebastian and Hugo hadn't faced each other, nobody knew who would win the match. However, the crowd could already predict the likely outcomes for the other remaining contestants.

Therefore, everyone was looking forward to the showdown between Sebastian and Hugo.

"Why don't you have some tea, honey?" Upon seeing Sebastian return, Clara handed him a cup of tea, which was a rare gesture from her, as she smiled charmingly.

He accepted it without thinking much and drank it down in one gulp.

The other matches concluded predictably, and now the crowd's attention turned to the most eagerly awaited showdown.

Before Hugo stepped into the battle ring, Amos warned, "Don't underestimate this brat's strength. Stay sharp."

"Dad, don't worry. I'm not only going to win, but I'll do it in style. I'm going to decapitate him in front of everyone."

Hugo was brimming with arrogance, and he had every right to be. After all, he was the top expert among the younger generation on Phoenix Island. Yet, his confidence wasn't unfounded.

His cultivation base had reached the middle stage pinnacle grandmaster level and was on the verge of advancing to the late-stage grandmaster. Plus, his cultivation base surpassed most elders from several major families. When he fought Ferdinand, Hugo won effortlessly in just 20 moves. In contrast, Sebastian needed over 200 moves to defeat Ferdinand. This highlighted the difference in their skills.

If Sebastian had been armed with a weapon in the battle ring, Hugo might have approached the fight more cautiously. But seeing Sebastian unarmed, Hugo felt relieved. Besides, Hugo had a killing move that would ensure his victory.

"Mr. Cleef, Mr. Seamus' opponent is Hugo. Without a weapon, he'll be at a huge disadvantage," the Strausses" esteemed elder voiced his concern.

"He's right, Mr. Cleef. We should give Mr. Seamus a weapon. It's been over a century since our family won first place. This is our chance, and we can't let it slip away," the family elders urged.

Cleef smiled and waved them off. "Relax, everyone. I have full faith in Seamus."

The elders were left speechless. Despite expressing their concerns, they were skeptical of Cleef's confidence. With Hugo as the opponent, even they wouldn't dare to be complacent if they were facing him.

While they were talking, Hugo had entered the ring and stood ten feet from Sebastian. "I didn't expect a lackey like you to have any skill. Too bad you're facing me. This is where your pathetic life ends." He sneered.

"You want to kill me?" Sebastian raised an eyebrow.

Hugo said, "Yes. There's a two-billion-dollar reward for your head. I don't care about the money, but you've caused my family a lot of trouble. I have to kill you to get this frustration off my chest."Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

"You won't succeed." Sebastian's calm expression showed his unwavering confidence.

Hugo was infuriated. "How dare you act so arrogantly in front of me? You think I won't chop your fucking head off?"
