Chapter 1166 Love Rival
Sebastian was in so much pain that his consciousness waned.
Instead of struggling, he let the man carry him on his back, and the two headed to the car.
Yet, just as they arrived next to the SUV, a buzzing noise could be heard. And suddenly—boom!
The vehicle exploded.
Godd*mmit! I’m going to blow this entire mountain up the next time I come here.
That was what Sebastian thought as the explosion sent him flying. Then, he passed out.
Nuclear waves were indeed frightening.
One could consider the potentials of nuclear power.
But as of now, human beings would only use such a thing for the betterment of mankind rather than for destruction, and whatever was happening in this forest’s underground plant was certainly referring to the latter.
That was what Edmund had discovered after being captured by those men.
Cough, cough!
“You’re awake.”
Edmund immediately got up from his seat and rushed to the side of the bed.
Indeed, Sebastian had woken up.
But for the next few minutes, the man’s handsome face looked utterly grim as he lay in bed.
Blerghh!
After a few coughs, he also vomited a mouthful of blood and foam.
Edmund hastily poured a glass of warm water, took out his container of pills, and returned to the bedside.
“Here. Take one of these.”
“What…is this?”
With his mouth filled with the metallic taste of blood and his chest feeling as though it were on fire, Sebastian instinctively refused to take the blue pill.
Regardless of that, Edmund shoved the pill straight into the man’s mouth.
“Ugh!”
“Swallow it. Don’t you remember? You’re the one who gave me this medication. You told me that Xayden from SteelFort created it just for me so I could cope with the side effects of the nuclear waves. I’ve taken these pills for months now.”
While explaining, Edmund casually popped one of the pills into his own mouth.
Sebastian was dumbstruck.
F*ck!
Eventually, he swallowed the pill too.
As soon as he did, the burning sensation in his chest disappeared, and so did the metallic taste in his throat. He felt much better now.
Then, he sat up and took a sip of water.
“So, this nuclear power plant is their military factory?
“That’s right.”
Responding with silence, Sebastian felt a wave of fury surge within him, and he gripped his fists so tightly that his knuckles cracked.
Still, he couldn’t help but feel curious. Why didn’t anything happen when he first arrived in the forest? He had even brought so many men with him to kill the tenth medalist and Benedict.
What’s going on?
“The factory was built not too long ago. There wasn’t much going on when I first followed them in there. The bullet I got shot with back then was probably their first batch of trial weapons.”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah. Also, the plant produces nuclear waves only when it’s running. Karl was captured when he tried to protect me during my second attempt to sneak in there. I’m guessing they realized you had your eye on them after they got him, so they wanted to destroy the plant.”
Edmund explained his findings as he recalled the events.
That really is a possibility.
If people found out about this plant, I wouldn’t be the only one going after them. The whole world might work together and capture them. They’d be finished if that happened.
That’s why destroying the plant would be their best bet.
They probably intended to set the plant to self-destruct mode only after we’ve left, so that no one would find out what they were up to.
But they didn’t expect me to stay behind.
Enlightened, Sebastian remained seated in bed. He would have asked many more questions if his chest weren’t hurting now.
These b*stards!
It wasn’t safe here, so Sebastian wanted to return to Chanaea once he woke up.
Edmund appeared hesitant.
“What? You don’t want to go back?”
“I do, but… Is that it? You’ve only managed to lure one of them out. Are you not going after the rest?” Edmund asked with a frown.
Yet, the man who was much younger than him smirked.
“Why should I? They’re just a bunch of geezers. I’ll have you know that I wiped out everyone on that mountain today, and I have no intention of hiding my tracks when I get back to Jadeborough. I’d like to see who’s stronger—the country’s entire military force, or these underground shrimps.”
Sebastian’s eyes flashed with murderous intent as he said the last sentence.
Still, it wasn’t wrong of him to feel that way. He wanted justice to prevail. That sort of light was what everyone needed.
Ultimately, Edmund returned to Chanaea with Sebastian.
It was also because the latter had dragged him into this right.
However, there was another reason—someone back home was already about to go on a killing spree.
F*ck!
Even a refined man like him couldn’t help but cuss.
