Chapter 1166 Love Rival
Sebastian was in so much pain that his consciousness waned.
Instead of struggling, he let the man carry him on his back, and the two headed to the car.
Yet, just as they arrived next to the SUV, a buzzing noise could be heard. And suddenlyâboom!
The vehicle exploded.
Godd*mmit! Iâm going to blow this entire mountain up the next time I come here.
That was what Sebastian thought as the explosion sent him flying. Then, he passed out.
Nuclear waves were indeed frightening.
One could consider the potentials of nuclear power.
But as of now, human beings would only use such a thing for the betterment of mankind rather than for
destruction, and whatever was happening in this forestâs underground plant was certainly referring to
the latter.
That was what Edmund had discovered after being captured by those men.
Cough, cough!
âYouâre awake.â
Edmund immediately got up from his seat and rushed to the side of the bed.
Indeed, Sebastian had woken up.
But for the next few minutes, the manâs handsome face looked utterly grim as he lay in bed.
Blerghh!
After a few coughs, he also vomited a mouthful of blood and foam.
Edmund hastily poured a glass of warm water, took out his container of pills, and returned to the
bedside.
âHere. Take one of these.â
âWhatâ¦is this?â
With his mouth filled with the metallic taste of blood and his chest feeling as though it were on fire,
Sebastian instinctively refused to take the blue pill.
Regardless of that, Edmund shoved the pill straight into the manâs mouth.
âUgh!â
âSwallow it. Donât you remember? Youâre the one who gave me this medication. You told me that
Xayden from SteelFort created it just for me so I could cope with the side effects of the nuclear waves.
Iâve taken these pills for months now.â
While explaining, Edmund casually popped one of the pills into his own mouth.
Sebastian was dumbstruck.
F*ck!
Eventually, he swallowed the pill too.
As soon as he did, the burning sensation in his chest disappeared, and so did the metallic taste in his
throat. He felt much better now.
Then, he sat up and took a sip of water.
âSo, this nuclear power plant is their military factory?
âThatâs right.â
Responding with silence, Sebastian felt a wave of fury surge within him, and he gripped his fists so
tightly that his knuckles cracked.
Still, he couldnât help but feel curious. Why didnât anything happen when he first arrived in the forest?
He had even brought so many men with him to kill the tenth medalist and Benedict.
Whatâs going on?
âThe factory was built not too long ago. There wasnât much going on when I first followed them in there.
The bullet I got shot with back then was probably their first batch of trial weapons.â
âIs that so?â
âYeah. Also, the plant produces nuclear waves only when itâs running. Karl was captured when he tried
to protect me during my second attempt to sneak in there. Iâm guessing they realized you had your eye
on them after they got him, so they wanted to destroy the plant.â
Edmund explained his findings as he recalled the events.
That really is a possibility.
If people found out about this plant, I wouldnât be the only one going after them. The whole world might
work together and capture them. Theyâd be finished if that happened.
Thatâs why destroying the plant would be their best bet.
They probably intended to set the plant to self-destruct mode only after weâve left, so that no one would
find out what they were up to.
But they didnât expect me to stay behind.
Enlightened, Sebastian remained seated in bed. He would have asked many more questions if his
chest werenât hurting now.
These b*stards!
It wasnât safe here, so Sebastian wanted to return to Chanaea once he woke up.
Edmund appeared hesitant.
âWhat? You donât want to go back?â
âI do, but⦠Is that it? Youâve only managed to lure one of them out. Are you not going after the rest?â
Edmund asked with a frown.
Yet, the man who was much younger than him smirked.
âWhy should I? Theyâre just a bunch of geezers. Iâll have you know that I wiped out everyone on that
mountain today, and I have no intention of hiding my tracks when I get back to Jadeborough. Iâd like to
see whoâs strongerâthe countryâs entire military force, or these underground shrimps.â
Sebastianâs eyes flashed with murderous intent as he said the last sentence.
Still, it wasnât wrong of him to feel that way. He wanted justice to prevail. That sort of light was what
everyone needed.
Ultimately, Edmund returned to Chanaea with Sebastian.
It was also because the latter had dragged him into this right.
However, there was another reasonâsomeone back home was already about to go on a killing spree.
F*ck!
Even a refined man like him couldnât help but cuss.
