Eddie’s face instantly grew red with rage.
“Sebastian, you’re a bastard! How dare you set me up?” he bellowed. His eyes were filled with utmost
hatred; the murderous intent was extremely strong.
Going ballistic, he was very bitter. This was because he had never considered himself any lesser than
anyone throughout his life.
Neither Judith nor my brother, Louis, was my match. Yet, I’m defeated by this man who was almost half
a century younger than me? To the extent of no return? How can I not loathe his whole being?
Right when Eddie was still quivering in anger, a signal flare shot up into the sky from the White House.
Bomb!
As the bullet streaked across the horizon, the stunning blue glint illuminated the skies of Jadeborough
like a firework display.
Seeing the bright rays, Jonathan chuckled. “Did you see that, Eddie? You lost. All of your men at the
White House have been wiped out. All your schemes have failed and your efforts are in vain. In the
end, the victory is ours.”
“That’s not entirely it,” someone added from the army.
“Old Mr. Jadeson, we’ve confiscated loads of nuclear weapons and bombs. That’s one lucrative win.
With that, we don’t need to fear the foreign factions anymore.”
“You…” Eddie hit the ceiling. He almost passed out upon hearing the remark.
What a trap! I am so stupid to have fallen for it.
He was absolutely humiliated, but there was no chance for him to fight back. Upon uttering the last
incomplete sentence, Jonathan waved to signal the soldiers to seize Eddie.
“Let go of me! Jonathan, you old geezer! You’re not worthy to take me down!”
“I’m not worthy? Then, who is? Judith? Or your brother, Louis? Let me tell you something, Eddie. I’m
sending you to the international military tribunal. I vow to expose your ugliness to the world and ensure
that you’ll never receive forgiveness from anyone, forever!” the enraged Jonathan yelled at him.
Subsequently, he approached Eddie and landed a powerful kick on him.
That’s right. A useless scum like him deserves to be spat on by the world, just so that he realizes his
mistakes.
Eddie then fell on the floor and lay there motionlessly.
However, he started laughing hysterically like a hyena when he was being dragged away.
“Fine, fine, fine, I lost. Anyhow, don’t you even think about saving that little bast*rd. He shall be buried
along with me.”
“Did you mean the Sheerwood residence in Adonia?” Devin posted the question indifferently, which
stopped Eddie’s laughter abruptly.
“How… How did you find out?”
“Haha, is that such a big deal? There are many talents among the Jadesons. Did you really think that
you could fool us all by planting a doppelganger in Oceanic Estate? I must say that you’re an idiot,
even my two nephews are smarter than you.”
Finally, the old thing was rendered speechless, all the way until he was shoved into the prisoner
transporter.
When the engine was ignited, he let out an eerie smile. “So what if you know where on earth is he? Do
you think you can save him? Dream on!”
……
Meanwhile in Adonia, help had arrived.
The person who was there to rescue Sebastian was none other than Solomon. Instead of bringing
along SteelFort from Hayes Corporation, Solomon brought with him a man from Jetroina, who was a
skillful ninja.
“Mr. Akiyama, the secret room has been found. However, there are plenty of explosives buried
underneath it. There’s a high chance we might step on it as soon as we enter the room.”
That very evening, a bespectacled man was standing in the penthouse suite at one of Summerbank’s
five-star hotels. While he was overseeing the city landscape, a shadow appeared.
Explosives? The man frowned.
“Is that something difficult for you guys? Isn’t defusing bombs your strength?”
“It’s not that. Those aren’t regular bombs. It’s powered by electric current. If a step is missed, the entire
place will be blasted into ashes within a split second.”
Those men had heard about the terrifying explosives. They even showed Solomon a video.
Once Solomon viewed it, his expression turned grim. Yet, he was not discouraged.
After sighing for a while, he gazed at the night sky and declared, “I’ll fulfill any of your desires as long
as you take him out safe and sound.”
The news came like a bolt from the blue, causing the shadow to raise his head at once.
Astounded, he stared at Solomon for a good ten seconds. Upon confirming his master did not mean it
as a joke, he clenched his fists and left.
That night, Solomon could not fall asleep in the presidential suite.
