Remorse After Breaking Up



Phaedra Island bowed to the influence of four families, with Lynch at the apex, followed by York, Sanders, and Lennon in descending order of power.

Perennially at the bottom, the Lennons harbored a deep-seated resentment toward their rivals. But just days ago, the Lennon family defeated the Sanders family and finally shed their bottom-rank status.

And now, the once dismissive and indifferent Lana was about to become Luke's bride. It was a double celebration for Luke, and he could barely contain his excitement.

From a distance, Sebastian spotted Luke. He seethed with a desire to kill Luke but managed to restrain himself.

Instead, he headed toward Sanders Manor, where Lana was likely still being held captive.

The guards appeared lethargic and were yawning at their posts.

This unusual slackness made Sebastian wary. Something was off. There had to be an ambush, especially after last night's attempted abduction of the bride.

Rushing in now would be suicidal.

Unfortunately, Bruce had not fully recovered from the poison, and his cultivation base was far from restored. They might stand a chance against overwhelming odds if they were both at full power.

As he pondered his next move, a young man in a white suit approached.

Sebastian turned to leave to avoid raising suspicion, but the man called out to him. "Hold on, my friend."

"Do you need something?" Sebastian asked.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Jeremiah Lynch smiled. "You're here to rescue Ms. Sanders, right?"

Sebastian was taken aback. How had he guessed?

"You must be joking. I was just passing by," Sebastian answered.

"All the guests are at the Lennon residence for the wedding banquet. No one would be wandering here without a reason. I'm certain you're here for Ms. Sanders," Jeremiah declared.

"Stop your nonsense. I was just taking a walk," Sebastian denied and turned to leave.

"If you want to save Ms. Sanders, I can help you," Jeremiah offered.

Sebastian hesitated. He had no plan yet, and the wedding was about to start. Maybe trusting Jeremiah now was his only option.

It was risky, but he was willing to take any risk for Lana.

"How can you help me?" Sebastian asked after turning back.

Sebastian remained wary and was ready to strike if Jeremiah made any sudden moves.

With his current cultivation base, few on Phaedra Island could match him. Even Julian would struggle to stop him if he decided to flee.

"I can't reveal the specifics. You would just have to cooperate with me," Jeremiah said.

"How exactly do you want me to cooperate?" Sebastian asked cautiously.

"It's simple. Go to the Lennon residence now and kill Luke," Jeremiah said.

Sebastian frowned deeply. He wanted nothing more than to kill Luke.

Doing so would have disrupted the wedding and given him time to rescue Bruce and Lana. But the Lennon residence was swarmed with powerful masters, including two elders who never left Luke's side.

Attempting an assassination with less than a ten percent chance of success would have put him in grave danger.

"What's the matter? Are you scared?" Jeremiah taunted.

"I hope you can keep your word," Sebastian said.

With that, he immediately headed toward the Lennon residence. Even with a slim chance, Sebastian had to try.
