Big Ben yelled , " Scrappy , you're done for ! " Scrappy shot back , " Big Ben , your life is mine ! " Both robots whipped their heads around . " Who's there ? " Leaning against the window , Stella gave a lazy , relaxed wave , her hand dropping down . She looked both stunning and badass . Beside her , Lucas cupped his cheeks in his hands , showing off his cute , squishy little face . Scrappy instantly threw his hands up , sucking up .

" Stella ! " Big Ben roared , " Shameless ! " Scrappy fired back , " You've got faces all over your butt ! " Stella sighed helplessly . Not wasting a single word , she braced herself against the window leapt out with a deadpan face , and jabbed her finger right at the robots ' chip zones . Stella thought , ' All this damn squabbling is driving me nuts . ' Meeting was over ! ' ***** Meanwhile , in the Maybach , Sebastian sat in the back seat , his face completely expressionless .

Next to him , the cookie tin Stella had forgotten when she got ou was tipped on its side , and the sweet , buttery scent wafted through the air . Sebastian thought , ' It is creamy . ' Sweet . ' But he'd just had a tooth pulled . Sebastian stared coldly out the window , his face blank as he showed the cookie tin away . He thought , ' Get lost ! ' Don't crowd me ! ' Suddenly , John , who was driving , said , " Mr. Gray , I won't tell Ms. Carter you were stealing her Cookie . " The light turned red . Sebastian glanced up at the rearview mirror . The two of them locked eyes .

As he munched , Sebastian grumbled under his breath , ' Stella likes odd numbers . Guess I'll have one more cookie . John rolled his eyes . ' Mr. Gray , please . Make sure to brush all the cookie crumbs off yourself before you get out of the car ! ' John thought .

John just flashed a little smile . ***** Half an hour later , it was in Seastone Warehouse where tragedy struck for Sebastian's father , Eric , and Holly . It had been locked away for five years , but today , those doors swung open once more . Sunlight painted the dust in shimmering gold . Dust floated down , settling everywhere .. Annette sat in the chair Allan had brought for her , while Conrad and Celia , their mouths still covered , slowly came to . " Mmm !

" As their memories flashed back to just before they passed out , both of them freaked out and started struggling , convinced they'd been shipped off somewhere overseas . But then Celia caught sight of Annette sitting there , still rocking that Denim Kraft couture black dress , her white hair perfectly styled , looking as graceful and composed as ever . But right now , the look in her eyes was icy cold . A member of the Yates family , dressed in a black suit , raised his hand and scattered white flower petals , fluttering down like snowflakes .

On the ground , the blood from five years ago was still there , now dried and blackened . The sheer size of those dark stains made it clear just how savage things had been back then . The iron gate rattled from the outside . " Mr. Gray , " voices rang out , one after another , full of respect . Lying on the ground , Celia could only see a pair of black leather shoes slowly approaching . Her vision was swimming with tears , and with a hand still clamped over her mouth , she kept pleading for mercy . " Sebastian , you're here ," Annette said , looking up .

Sebastian looked like he'd just stepped out of hell , and his face was cold as ice as he took a scalpel from one of his men . " Grandma . " He said . His long , elegant fingers toyed with the razor - sharp blade , every move graceful and chilling . " They cut the tendons in Dad and Eric's hands , " Sebastian said , his voice icy . They did it right in front of Sebastian . Annette closed her eyes . She knew . She'd read every single word of the autopsy reports for Sebastians father , Eric , and Holly back then .

2/8 11:09 Mon , Feb 9 Chapter 318 Before Holly died , she'd even been abused by those mercenaries Annette thought , ' Animals , every last one of them ! ' ས 57 % - 55 vouchers Sebastian kept his eyes lowered , his face ghostly pale with a shadow of blue - gray gloom . No one could read the depths of darkness hidden behind those eyes . " Keir , " Morgan said , his voice icy . Keir gave a silent signal , and his men stepped forward , faces blank as they pinned down the thrashing Conrad and Celia .

They strapped each of them to a standing - height table , arms and legs spread out like a starfish . Annette waved her hand , and the hands covering their mouths were removed . " Annette , you are a Christian ! You can't do this ! " Celia screamed , her hair stuck to her sweaty face . She felt her clothes pulled up , a heavy iron pot pressed against her stomach , and something inside kept squeaking . They sounded like rats . Annette gave her a frosty look .

" Looks like God and I were never meant to cross paths ." Annette yanked the prayer beads off her wrist and , right in front of Celia , snapped them apart , her face blank . The beads scattered across the floor , cold as ice . Celia shuddered . Conrad was already scared out of his mind , practically wetting himself . " This pot is full of rats that haven't eaten in days . Once we heat it up , they'll go nuts and go straight for the tenderest bits , " Morgan explained , his striking features twisted into something devilish . Sebastian elegantly sliced open the skin over Conrad's tendons .

#lood welled up , but not a single drop stained him . Conrad screamed . Celia was trembling uncontrollably , forced to watch Conrad's miserable situation . The whole scene was a living nightmare . " I don't want to die ! " she cried , shaking her head frantically . Sebastian looked up , his eyes cold as ice . " Don't worry . You won't die . " Sebastian thought , ' This is just a little parting gift before I send you away . With that , he precisely severed the tendons in Conrad's hands and feet , just like the mercenaries did five years back .

Celia's pupils shrank in terror , her whole body frozen with fear . She could only watch helplessly as Sebastian strode toward her , the scalpel held low at his side , blood still dripping from its blade . Behind her , Allan and Morgan stood with icy stares , cold and merciless . Celia screamed . Night fell in Jaffina . The Bar Street was the turf of the Shadow Alliance , a lawless zone where all the top talents and oddballs from Clusia gathered . Once night hit , the place came alive .

The Shadow Alliance was the biggest underground organization in the world , a secretive force that no one dared to talk 3/8 11:09 Mon , Feb 9 Chapter 318 about . No one could say for sure where their headquarters were . 57 % 55 vouchers On the curb , a bunch of kids with hair dyed every color imaginable were clustered together , smoke curling in the air as they puffed away . They were all decked out in crazy , over - the - top outfits . Right next to them , luxury sports cars were just dumped wherever , totally blocking the main drag .

One unlucky cabbie got stuck behind them , so this middle - aged guy hopped out , trying to talk some sense into the group , hoping they'd scoot their cars over a little . " Fuck you ! Get lost ! " the leader snapped , flicking his cigarette but away . He swaggered straight toward the driver , about to slam a kick into the guy's gut , when suddenly , a savage screech tore through the air , as if a peregrine falcon swooped down . The bleached punk screamed as he grabbed the right side of his face , blood gushing out between his fingers .

The bleached punk's crew , who'd been joking around just seconds ago , all surged forward , shouting , " Who the fuck is it ? Get your ass out here ! " " Peregrine , " a cold , captivating woman's voice rang out through the crowd . An old lady with silver hair , dressed in a striking red dress , stepped out from the back seat of the taxi . Even though she was clearly elderly , her face was so youthful and beautiful that it left everyone speechless . As she finished speaking , a peregrine falcon swooped down from above and landed right on her shoulder .

The bird was chubby , its face so round and plump it looked like it could pop . Anyone could tell at a glance that this bird was living large . " You little rascal , " Serpentina said , scratching the peregrine falcom under its chin . She glanced up at the Bar Street sign , looking bored . She thought , ' Man , it's been ages since I came here . I almost forgot where this place even was . Lucky we bumped into this middle - aged driver ; he's got a good femper and didn't even get annoyed with us five old - timers , just kept driving us around and around !

Then , four more old - timers piled out of the back seat . ViperShade was decked out in tattered clothes , a huge cloth bag lung across his body . Geezer was clutching a bundle of skeleton bones in his arms . Razorstrike was hoisting a giant hammer on his shoulder . Professor Cipher was clutching a fat encyclopedia , looking all nerdy and bookish behind his glasses . " Hey , kids , we told you to move your cars , but you just had to ignore us . Now you've pissed off the old witch .

Serves you right , " Geezer said , shaking his head sarcastically and waving the skeleton claw right in their faces . The bleached punk yelled , " Do you guys even know who I am ? Hah ? Do you ? " " Really ? And who are you supposed to be ? " Serpentina , dressed in red , arched an eyebrow . Serpentina thought , ' Wow , we haven't been back to Clusia in ages . Are all the kids this disrespectful now ? ' 4/8 11:09 Mon , Feb 9 DD . Chapter 318 林 命 57 % 55 vouchers Meanwhile , the middle - aged driver just stood there , totally stunned , as Professor Cipher handed him a fat wad of cash .

It must be over a thousand . " This ... " he asked . This is way too much ! ' the driver thought , completely floored . Professor Cipher gave him a gentle smile . " Go on , get out of her The driver hesitated . " But what about you folks ? " Professor Cipher just smiled , waving him away . The bleached punk , still clutching his right cheek , boasted , " Go ask around . My dad owns this whole Bar Street . " " Your dad ? Who ? " Razorstrike turned his head , deadpan . The punks were speechless . As they were talking , the punks were already on their phones , calling for backup .

The once - busy Bar Street suddenly went silent , and out of nowhere , a bunch of thugs with steel pipes started pouring out of the bars , swaggering out , looking mean as hell . Razorstrike's hands were itching for action as he hefted his giant hammer . The thing almost got confiscated at security , but luckily , their international credentials did the trick . They could come and go wherever they wanted . " Razorstrike , don't you feel embarrassed ? An old guy like you roughing up these youngsters ? " Serpentina said , giving him a sidelong look .

Without missing a beat , Razorstrike stepped back and rumbled , " All yours . " Geezer clicked his tongue . Serpentina stood at the very front , casually playing with the peregrine falcon as she faced down a mob of over a hundred thugs . The peregrine falcon let out a little cry . ' Hell , this little fluffball is just trying to act cute , Razorstrike thought . Serpentina lowered her gaze . " I don't need you . " Suddenly , a clear bell jingled on her wrist , ringing out in a three - ong , two - short rhythm . " What is this , some kind of TV drama ?

You think ringing a bell is gonna bring in the cavalry ? " The thugs laughed . They were totally oblivious that the bell's chime was so piercing hat it was inaudible to human ears . But it traveled deep underground , reaching several hundred feet below . In the darkness , countless icy eyes suddenly snapped open , each one glowing with a chilling , sinister light . At that very moment , deep inside Bar Street's inner sanctum , Tony and the other big shots from Haliville stood off to the side , looking totally out of place .

Back home , they were the ones calling the shots , but here in Jaflina's inner sanctum, they were just small fry . 5/8 11:09 Mon , Feb 9 D D. Chapter 318 The three elders sat in the main seats , brows furrowed , staring at their phones in silence for ages . The middle - aged bosses stood off to the side , not daring to make a sound . 57 % 55 vouchers " Has anyone managed to add the new leader on social media ? " one of the white - bearded elders finally asked the other two . The other two just nodded , speechless . The three elders sighed together .

' We're just small fry compared to the new boss , they all thought . They were totally beneath the new leader's notice . Tony snuck a glance over , thinking , ' What the hell are they even alking about ? ' He was completely baffled . He wondered , Who's this ' leader ' they're talking about ? What new boss ? Did we get a new one and nobody told us ? ' " I heard only that shameless guy from the Dorestan Medical Alliance managed to add the new boss . He wouldn't shut up about it in the group chat the other day , " another elder snorted . Showing off like that ...

Not that I'm jealous or anything ! " 11 The middle - aged bosses just stared at him , totally speechless . ' Man , you look like you're about to explode with jealousy ! ' they all thought . " Looks like the Shadow Alliance headquarters has pretty much forgotten about our Jaffina branch , " one of the elders sighed . ' It's been over a decade since anyone from headquarters even bothered to check in on us , ' they all thought . The three elders all propped up their left cheeks at the same time , then let out a collective sigh . They felt lonely , bored , and cold .

" Elders , something is wrong ! " A guy burst in , half - rolling , half - crawling , totally panicked and smeared with mud from all his frantic stumbling . Jareth frowned . " What's all the fuss about ? " With a flick of his finger , he sent a black go piece flying straight at the guy's knee . The guy fell and landed on the ground . " What happened ? " Halcyon rolled up his sleeves , looking like he was itching for a fight . These old - timers hadn't had any action in years . Nobody had dared mess around on their turf for decades , and they were so bored they could drop dead .

" S - Someone is causing trouble ! " the guy stammered . At those words , the three elders ' eyes instantly lit up . Trouble ! At last ! Finally , some action ! ' they all thought , practically buzzing with excitement . Tony felt silent . Is it just me , or do these elders look way too happy about this ? Like they're actually thrilled ? ' Tony thought , completely confused . " How many people ? " All three elders , looking all mystical and angient , stood up together holding their wands . 6/8 11:09 Mon , Feb 9DD .

Chapter 318 The guy on the ground almost choked on his own spit , then frantically held up five fingers . 林 金 57 % 會 55 vouchers Halcyon's eyes went wide . " What ? Five crews ? That's gotta be at last a few hundred guys ! A fierce battle indeed ! " The guy on the ground just stared , totally baffled . " Huh ? " He wondered , ' Hundreds ? What is he talking about ? ' Didn't I just hold up five fingers ? ' " Everyone , move out ! I want to see which idiot thinks they can mess around on Shadow Alliance turf !

" the three elders shouted , rolling up their sleeves and practically sprinting out the door , looking way too excited for a fight . The guy , still kneeling and hacking up a lung , desperately waved his hand at their backs . He thought , ' Wait ! That's not it ! ' It's just five people ! ' And they're all old geezers and grannies ! ' ***** Meanwhile , Serpentina just smiled at the entrance to Bar Street . Across from her , the hundred - plus thugs gripping steel pipes all froze , their eyes wide with terror , staring not at her , but at whatever was creeping up behind her .

Snakes , fat and skinny , venomous and harmless , came slithering in from every direction , swarming the ground and forming a living , wriggling carpet around the five old - timers . They were anywhere , on the ground , up in the trees , on the shop signs , and even clinging to the ad boards . Serpentina just kept fussing with her fat little peregrine , thinking ' Kids these days are all so soft . Look at that guy in the back . He actually wet himself on the spot . Honestly , what a disgrace . " Hey , don't move , " Serpentina said , tapping her finger at the punk in charge .

All around her , every snake snapped its head up at once , their beady little eyes locking onto the punk , cold as ice . They grinned wide and flashed rows of tiny , razor - sharp fangs . The thugs were frozen , not a word coming out . They all cursed inwardly , ' Damn it ! ' Shit , we're dead meat ! ' Serpentina strolled over to the punk , her army of snakes slithering right behind her . As they passed the sports car blocking the way , she just waved her hand , and Razorstrike , stone - faced , went to town on the car with his giant hammer .

One hit , and the windshield exploded into a million pieces . Two hits , and the whole front end was totally wrecked . Three hits , and the car was beyond saving . The bleached punk yelled , " Just wait ! All our big bosses are here tonight ! You five are gonna be bow , calling us grandpa ! " " Who the hell are you ? " a booming , powerful voice echoed from the distance right after the punk finished .
