Maxwell was completely unprepared.

He thought that Sebastian was going to continue saying some more words afterwards and never imagined he would perform a sneak attack; this guy was simply too shameless!

The most shocking thing to Maxwell was that Sebastian had attacked when he had pretty much exhausted his mana. Was this purely a coincidence, or did he somehow see through it?

Maxwell didn't have time to think about it. His mind focused and his sea of consciousness sank as he used all his strength to defend.

Sebastian's grasp of timing was perfect as both his palms looked like they could split mountains or cleave the seas. "Limitless Palm Attack!"

Without hindrance, both palms struck straight onto Maxwell's chest.

Maxwell's chest almost cracked on the impact. The organs under his chest bones trembled and his face immediately paled. His entire body was sent flying out of the main hall in an arc before heavily descending towards the ground outside. A pungent scent of blood came up his throat before he involuntarily sprayed out a mouthful of it.

Flying more than a dozen meters away before landing outside the main hall and into the courtyard. The thick bluestone tiling on the ground was then smashed into pieces.

Uncomfortable!

Extremely uncomfortable. His sternum and ribs felt like they had cracked while all his internal organs were in severe pain. It was because of the pain that Maxwell started gasping for air to control himself. It was already fortunate for him that he didn't directly faint from the strike.

"A boss is truly a boss. His first move was already a special technique and he had to be so shameless to sneak attack as well." Maxwell started internally cursing at Sebastian.

The surrounding Gillette Household members all stared with a dumbfounded expression. Seeing Maxwell with a pale face, they didn't know how to react.

"Humph! Damn trash!" Maxwell coldly humphed. His expression was filled with contempt as his eyes were filled with disdain.

Constantine's eyes widened in anger. Veins popped out of his forehead as his current expression was beyond ferocious. He basically looked like a beast at this point. Power exploded from his pair of fists giving off crackling sounds of lightning. He then punched out!

A whistling wind noise like piercing through the void.

There was an illusory dragline of lightning and fire on his fist as it travelled towards the target filled with a terrifying amount of power.

Sebastian narrowed his eyes as he coldly humphed!

"Watch out!" Maxwell cried out, but it was too late.

Constantine was enraged as he disregarded everything while striking out.

He was merely at the level 6 bronze rank. Even though he had consumed the fire attributed beast core of the Raging Fire Bull and his abilities could match the early stages of a Silver rank, he was nonetheless dealing with Sebastian who was at the peak of level 2 silver rank!

The strength disparity was too big.

Sebastian's body shifted to the side as he struck out a palm. He had dodged from Constantine's punch and his palm landed right onto Constantine's chin.

"Slap!"

Constantine, with a body weight of 250lbs, was sent flying into the air. His body flew in an arc before smashing heavily onto the ground.

A dull thud was heard as his entire body hit the ground. The tiles on the floor were sent flying all over the area as a mouthful of blood gurgled out.

It only took one strike for each person!

They were both sent flying and were now seriously injured!

Sebastian's strength was too powerful.

Sebastian walked towards the entrance of the main hall and coldly laughed. "You want to fight with me? Even your father was not my opponent and a lowlife like you wants to challenge me?"

Sebastian was acting way too proud.

Immediately after, Sebastian coldly laughed again and cried out: "Someone come and search for the beast core on his body. Then just beat him to death!"

Upon the command, over a dozen senior elite members came rushing forth from the surrounding area.

First, it was the Executive Department; now, it was the senior elite members.

Everything was controlled by Sebastian's palms.

The combined strength of these dozens of senior elite members was even stronger than the eight Executioners.

"Protect the boss and Constantine."

It was unknown who suddenly yelled this out but those senior members who were scared silly immediately felt a change in their eyes. Another person then cried out: "Protect the heir! Who dares to approach him and we'll fight with our lives on the line!"

"Whoever dares to touch the hair of the heir, we'll kill them!"

Dozens of senior members of the Gillette Household made a circle protecting Maxwell and Constantine in the middle.

These were the people who agreed to join Maxwell while they were participating in the entrance competition.

They believed that Maxwell would bring them a better tomorrow, and his rapid growth had made them even more convinced.

These guys believed in Maxwell and even worshipped him. That's why they were using their life to protect him!

They were all hot-blooded youths around seventeen or eighteen years old. With a single promise in the entrance competition, they didn't compromise their integrity when even facing the possible persecution of Sebastian.

At this time, apart from them having to deal with Sebastian at level 2 silver rank, they also had to deal with the senior elite members of the Gillette Household, who were all above them in strength.

Once the battle starts, there will only be one outcome - they will all die!

Their young, tender faces were all serious-looking as they didn't retreat a single step. They all had facial expressions that depicted a momentum - If you dare approach, we'll fight you with our lives on the line!

Maxwell was moved.

With one side of his face still plastered on the ground, Constantine managed a foolish grin.

Sebastian's eyes narrowed as his killing intent increased. "You all want to rebel?"

"Kill them all and don't leave a single one behind!" Sebastian coldly yelled out.

The faces of many of the senior elite members darkened. Many of them had relatives in the seniors there were even some who had biological siblings. Wanting them to kill their own family?

They hesitated for a short time.

Sebastian roared out in anger: "Didn't you hear me? I said to kill them all!"

The eyes of the senior elite members all sank as they drew out their swords. They all took a step forward.

They didn't dare to disobey the words of the Lord!

Moreover, these senior elite members were pretty much single-handedly groomed by Sebastian.

For all these years, Sebastian was in control of the entire Gillette Household. Naturally that included the Executive Department and the senior elite members.

As for the senior members?

For those whom he didn't place any importance on, of course, he didn't bother with them.

"Who dares to touch them? Dies!

Maxwell struggled to stand up and immediately consumed a healing pill. Once the pill was ingested, his injuries lightened up and his pain was eased by several notches. He coldly swept his eyes around, "If you don't believe me, go ahead and give it a try!"

Also around this time, Constantine struggled to stand up before protecting one side of Maxwell. His eyes were locked onto Sebastian, afraid that he would make another sneak attack.

He wasn't prepared before but this time, he wouldn't let Sebastian succeed!

"Humph! Still so stubborn when you're close to death?" Sebastian faintly sneered before continuing: "Maxwell, you've exhausted your mana and you're seriously injured. What are you going to use to fight with me now?"

He seemed to have seen through everything about Maxwell.

He activated the level 2 Overdrive in the battle arena already. Now in the Gillette Household, he activated it a second time. Ten thousand points of mana was too great a consumption.

Indeed, the mana Maxwell had was pretty much all gone.

There was no way he could activate another level 2 Overdrive.

Maxwell's mind was startled as he had never imagined Sebastian was able to see through how much Mana he had. He then asked in astonishment: "Sebastian, it looks like my death is certain today?"

"That's right!" Sebastian laughed out conceitedly.

Maxwell asked again: "Since it's like this, can I see Gwendolyn one last time?"

"Since you're going to die anyway, hand over the beast core and I'll let you two see each other." Sebastian smiled.

Maxwell took out the beast core and bitterly smiled. "Once I see her, I will immediately hand this beast core over."

Seeing the beast core in Maxwell's hand, Sebastian's eyes brightened. He then pointed at someone, "Bring her out!"

McCollin looked enraged with a sword trained on Gwendolyn's neck. He then crazily roared out: "Maxwell!"

"Maxwell!" Gwendolyn's face looked haggard as if she still hadn't fully recovered her senses. Upon seeing Maxwell's pale face, she was so worried that she quickly blurted out: "Don't worry about me, nothing will happen to me."

With the sharp blade of the sword resting on her jugular vein, there was not a hint of fear on her face.

She was only worried about Maxwell.

Sebastian smiled, "Now that you've seen her, you can hand over the beast core now right?"

Maxwell was opening up the system in his mind and looking up his XP bar. He then put the beast core back and coldly smiled, "If you have the guts, come get it yourself!"

Sebastian's face darkened as he angrily shouted: "Kill him for me!"

"Just a tiny bit more to go..."

Maxwell was anxiously waiting for it...
