Chapter 1165 Friend
“D-Don’t kill my son. I’m begging you! I did everything on my own. None of these has anything to do with him, so please! H-He’s saved your sister once, so let him off, would you?”
“Okay.”
That was certainly an unexpected response.
Benedict immediately breathed a huge sigh of relief.
“But you’ll have to tell every member of the Cooper family who knows you that Devin Jadeson will be taking over your duties from now on. I’ll let him off if you do that. What do you say?”
While speaking, Sebastian bent over and handed Benedict a document that he had prepared long ago.
Benedict stilled for a moment.
He then became dumbfounded as he realized what the document was—a will.
“You…”
He finally understood the gravity of his mistakes.
To think that he once thought of Sebastian as nothing but a pawn at his disposal. Clearly, he was wrong.
However, that wasn’t the worst thing.
What infuriated him most was the way this madman smiled at him after putting away the will he had just signed.
“You don’t seem to find it strange.”
“What?”
“Well, he’s your son. All these things would eventually belong to him anyway, but I still got you to sign the will. Don’t you find it strange?” Sebastian remarked craftily.
Benedict froze.
Perhaps because the person next to him had just died such a gruesome death, he found himself unable to comprehend Sebastian’s words.
The madman then walked away, and a soldier showed up in his place as two other men attended to Karl.
It was only when they carried Karl away that Benedict came to his senses.
“Yariel! I want you dead!”
As soon as his screams rang out from the Jeep, a bullet came flying in his direction.
The road finally returned to silence, and nothing could be heard except for the sounds of birds fluttering in the air due to the gunshot.
Karl was brought over to Sebastian, but the former was so gravely injured that he couldn’t speak.
“Take him to the chopper and head back to Chanaea.”
“Yes, Mr. Jadeson.”
Under Sebastian’s orders, the two soldiers carried Karl into the helicopter.
A sense of relief washed over Karl, and he passed out as soon as he was brought into the aircraft.
Within about ten minutes, the remaining soldiers burned every body and vehicle. Sebastian then instructed everyone to leave as he remained on the road, waiting for someone.
No one knew who he was waiting for, but he looked especially calm.
On this very road, the man smiled faintly as he gazed at the curves of the mountain while basking in the sunset.
From that, one could tell that the person he was waiting for was someone that would surely make him happy.
As expected, a black SUV emerged about five minutes later and made its way over under the setting sun.
Seeing that, Sebastian lit a cigarette.
Hiss…
Suddenly, he felt something like an electric current trickle into his ear.
What was that?
He froze in his tracks.
But before the man could find out what was happening, he felt something piercing his brain, and what quickly followed was a tremendous wave of pain surging within his chest, causing him to fall on one knee.
What the hell is going on?
A look of panic crossed his pale face. Given that everything had been in his control all this while, it wasn’t unusual for him to feel this way in a sudden turn of events.
Did I miss something out?
Did those guys know I’d be here? Are the other nine medal holders nearby?
Sebastian tried to escape as a series of questions flooded his mind.
Yet, it was too late. He was beginning to see stars due to the pain in his chest, and blood soon trickled out of his nostrils.
“Sebastian!”
Fortunately, the black SUV arrived just in time.
Sebastian fell on one knee while clutching his chest tightly, a pained expression spreading across his face. The man inside the vehicle dashed toward him.
“Sebastian! Are you okay? What happened?” he asked, holding onto Sebastian.
“Over…here…” Sebastian looked up, fighting the severe pain coming from his chest.
“I just found out that there’s a nuclear power plant right beneath us. It probably detected the metal plate inside you from your previous surgery. I’ll get you out of here right away!”
While explaining, the man carried Sebastian on his back.
