Remorse After Breaking Up (Sebastian) novel Chapter 484



Chapter 484

The Destiny Stage was where the life-and-death duels were decided. Generally, martial arts families and guilds would set up such stages.

Phoenix Island was no exception. Their Destiny Stage was located at the square in the heart of the three major families. The stage was enormous. It was a big circular arena measuring over 60 feet in diameter.

As soon as word spread that Sebastian and Hugo were heading to the Destiny Stage, everyone from the three major families scrambled to the venue.

In less than ten minutes, the place was packed. The crowd was a sea of faces, shoulder to shoulder, with nowhere to stand.

The elders of the three major families came to witness the event. After all, Sebastian and Hugo were the two strongest young talents on Phoenix Island.

Hugo was the heir to the Lorence family, while Sebastian, the son-in-law of the Strauss family, was set to become the family's next patriarch if all went as planned.

At that moment, their life-or-death duel was the most anticipated showdown on Phoenix Island.

Cleef turned to Amos and said, "Mr. Lorence, I suggest you talk to Hugo. No one makes it out of the Destiny Stage alive."

Amos mistook his concern for fear and sneered. "I've tried to talk him out of it, but he's adamant about killing your son-in-law. There's nothing I can do."

He continued, "I understand your worry. You're concerned that your daughter might become a widow so soon after getting married. But I have a solution-let your daughter marry my son instead."

"Would you accept my daughter, considering it would be her second marriage?" Cleef asked with a smile.

Amos responded with a grin, "Clara is smart and beautiful. Even if she remarries, many men would still be vying for her. How could I possibly refuse?"

Clara stood nearby and was feeling quite pleased at the compliment. But Amos' next remark infuriated her.

"Of course, she'd only be Hugo's second wife. You know how it goes-second-hand items generally lose value. It's like buying a mobile phone. Even if you sell it the next day, it's worth at least 20% less."

Clara was so enraged upon hearing that she nearly cursed out loud.

However, Cleef remained calm and said, "I still hope you'll persuade Hugo. It's not that I'm worried about my daughter becoming a widow. What really worries me is whether anyone

"You'll sleep for eternity once I sever your head!" Hugo snarled. He sprang into action as he darted forward with lightning speed. Then, he swung his massive sword down.

"Mr. Hugo has truly broken through. He'll definitely be able to decapitate him."

As Hugo launched his attack, it was clear to everyone that his cultivation base had reached a new level. The Lorence family was ecstatic.

In contrast, the Strauss family was filled with concern. Previously, they had seen Sebastian as the incompetent son-in-law and had hoped someone would take him out.

But things had changed. Sebastian was now a revered figure, admired by many, and a vital asset to the Strauss family. His death would be a devastating loss for them.

As usual, Sebastian was unarmed. He deftly dodged Hugo's attack by slightly turning sideways.

Hugo reacted quickly and swung his blade in a sweeping arc. He aimed to cut Sebastian in

half.
