Remorse After Breaking Up (Sebastian) novel Chapter 289

Before this, Maverick had only seen dealing with Sebastian as a bit of a laugh, something to do to back up Jake. But now, it was different; it was personal.

"Mr. Wilder, maybe you should just let Ms. Osborne go," Joseph urged anxiously.

"That's right. Mr. Wilder, please let her go. If you need a woman, I... I can take her place," Zia offered, her face flushing with embarrassment.

But Sebastian remained unmoved by their pleas. His eyes remained fixed on the Sanders family that stood before him with a faint, mocking smile.

Sebastian wasn't one to go looking for trouble, but that didn't mean he was afraid of it. Their constant provocations had pushed him to his breaking point.

"I'm going to kill you!" Maverick roared as he charged toward Sebastian.

Maverick was the strongest of the group, having reached the late stage of grandmaster. His speed was astounding as he closed in on Sebastian in the blink of an eye.

He threw a lightning-fast punch, aiming straight for Sebastian's head. It was powerful enough to pulverize anything in its path.

"Mr. Wilder, watch out!" Joseph and Zia both shouted in fear.

However, Sebastian maintained his smile. With a swift movement, he maneuvered, placing Yvette's head directly in the trajectory of Maverick's punch.

Yvette's face was drained of color with fear—if that punch landed on her head, it would be like a sledgehammer smashing a watermelon.

Maverick was caught off guard and hastily pulled back his punch. But the abrupt reversal caused a severe strain, and he almost injured himself internally.

Enraged and frustrated, Maverick snarled, "What kind of man are you to use a woman as a shield? If you've got any guts, let her go and face me like a man, one-on-one."

The bystanders chimed in, criticizing Sebastian for his cowardly tactics.

"I'll agree to a one-on-one fight, but I have some conditions," Sebastian said calmly.

"What conditions?" Maverick demanded.

"If you win, you can do whatever you want with me. But if you lose, you and your group must promise to never bother me again," Sebastian declared.

"Alright, I promise you," Maverick agreed without hesitation. He was confident in his abilities and had already planned how to humiliate and defeat Sebastian.

"You can't make that promise alone. I need to hear it from everyone," Sebastian insisted, gesturing toward Jake and the others.

"Maverick can represent all of us," Jake answered quickly.

Satisfied, Sebastian released Yvette immediately.

"Step back, Ms. Osborne. I wouldn't want you getting hurt. Once I'm done with this guy, we'll celebrate to calm your nerves," Maverick said gently.

"Thank you, Mav," Yvette replied with a grateful smile. Her gratitude and smile filled Maverick with a heady sense of euphoria.

The crowd stepped back, giving the two ample space to fight.
