I Have Given You A Chance
“You—”
Sebastian turned as white as a sheet.
Meanwhile, it was not the end yet as Louis’ subordinate hastened to project the following video taken at
another location.
“It has been half a month. When can you take off the bandages? I want to see whether your face has
recovered.”
“Yes, it has. Don’t worry. Your brother personally arranged for Crimson Pimpernel to do the surgery for
me. Everything will be all right. Trust his skills; he’s a professional.”
In a ward, a man with bandages all over his face was seen comforting a woman who had a baby in her
arms.
One could feel the gentleness and bliss in the man’s eyes.
After watching it, Sebastian started to stagger to his feet.
Then, his head began to throb in waves.
“How is it? Do you want to continue watching it? If you’re interested, I can show you the videos
recorded in Hayes Corporation, the Wand residence, the base of SteelFort, and the Jadeson
residence.”
Louis listed out everyone associated with Sebastian, including the Soprano family, one he had never
contacted.
As Sebastian’s eyes turned bloodshot, a voice taunted him in his mind, “Kill him! You’re not Yariel but
Sebastian. Summon your second personality to kill him quickly. You’ll be free from trouble once he’s
dead!”
“Ugh…”
“Yariel, I admire you from the bottom of my heart, for you’re the most outstanding young man I’ve ever
met in decades. All my hard work for all these years was almost destroyed because of you.”
Louis paused for a while and continued, “However, my influence in the country is deep-rooted, and thus
you can’t get rid of me. I’m way more powerful than you can even imagine. Anyway, I’ve given you a
chance, but you didn’t appreciate it.”
With that, he signaled at his subordinates to point their guns at Sebastian.
“No—” a woman screamed all of sudden.
Then, she stumbled her way toward them and warded off the gun from Sebastian.
“Sasha, why are you here? Why did you come back?”
Sebastian finally composed himself and looked at her.
In merely a few seconds, the voice that kept provoking him in his mind vanished. Panicked, he
immediately ran down the stairs.
When Sasha turned around, she almost wanted to slap Sebastian in the face.
However, she only opened her arms to hug him tightly and said, “You jerk, what have you been doing
all this while? Why do you always keep things from me, huh?”
Sasha ignored the guns and burst into tears as she spoke.
Sebastian embraced her tightly. At that moment, he decided not to care about the rest.
If we’re destined to die, let us die together!
He was already on the brink of his death when Charles blocked his way on the highway to kill him three
years ago and was merely lucky enough to stay alive till then.
“Lord, have mercy.”
At that juncture, an old monk in a grey shirt suddenly showed up.
Everyone present, including Sebastian and Sasha, gazed at him curiously.
“Miss, we meet again.”
The old monk came up to Sasha and Sebastian despite the dangerous situation.
At the sight of him, Sasha wiped her tears away and quickly let go of Sebastian.
“Master, why… Why are you here? It’s dangerous. Please leave quickly.” Sasha advised the monk not
to stay there any longer.
Much to her surprise, the monk replied smilingly, “Miss, I’m here to bring you two out of here.”
“Huh?”
That baffled Sasha.
He wants to bring us out of here? Is he out of his mind?
Glancing around, she noticed that Sebastian’s expression turned grim. That was because he thought
the monk was a lunatic who disturbed their last moments of peace.
The next moment, Sebastian was surprised that the old monk gazed at Louis and said, “Sir, can I leave
with them?”
Words could not describe the expression on Louis’ face.
The smug look he had on previously had changed to an awkward one.
“Do you know who they are?”
“I know. Sir, don’t worry. We’ve just cleaned two rooms in our temple. I believe they will be happy to
stay there,” the old monk replied smilingly.
What happened next shocked Sasha and Sebastian to the core. Louis merely grunted and waved his
hands as a signal. Immediately, his subordinates put their guns down.
“All right. But remember your words. If they ever step out of Aquene Temple, I’ll burn your temple
down!”
Louis left with his men after giving the old monk a warning.
Meanwhile, Sasha and Sebastian were bewildered.
The couple was unsure if their eyes had tricked them, but they saw the old monk’s smile fade once the
men left. Then, a hint of hatred and sternness flashed across his eyes.
