Sebastian’s appearance stunned not only Magnus but also everyone else present.
Magnus had confidently declared that Sebastian was dead. However, there was Sebastian, still alive and well, having just killed a man with a single puff of smoke, shocking everyone in attendance.
Reactions varied. Some were angry, some were terrified, and some were overjoyed. The former Elders of Supreme Nexus and the various Gods of War were particularly uneasy, with many feeling deep regret.
A significant number of them had pledged loyalty to Magnus because they believed the false news of Sebastian’s death. Now, the sight of Sebastian being alive left these traitors at a loss.
No one’s rage was more than Yvette’s.
She had finally come to terms with Sebastian’s supposed death, only to find out it was all for nothing.
In contrast, Lillian was so overjoyed that tears of happiness streamed down her face.
She had unknowingly fallen in love with Sebastian long ago. Even their divorce had been forced upon her.
She felt immense guilt toward Sebastian and had been devastated when she thought he was dead. Seeing him safe and sound now filled her with indescribable joy.
“This can’t be! It’s impossible! Mr. Spark himself told me Sebastian was dead. You must be an imposter!” Magnus pointed at Sebastian, his eyes brimming with killing intent, though a trace of fear lingered deep within them.
During the supreme banquet, Magnus had doubted Sebastian’s authenticity, but events had proven otherwise.
“Oh, Magnus.” Sebastian wore a small smile. “Your eyesight must be failing. You’ve been with me for years, and yet, you can’t even tell if I’m the real deal.”
