Chapter 397
Every strike Julian made was immensely powerful. Beyond the sheer force, the energy contained a deadly poison that could induce rapid necrosis from even the slightest touch.
Sebastian, fortunately, wielded an active energy that provided some defense against the poison's passive nature.
Still, Julian's attacks weren't just poisonous. They were devastatingly powerful.
Sebastian was caught off guard and struck by an energy blast that sent him flying over 50 feet away and coughing up blood.
"Run! Now!" Lana's heart shattered at the sight, and she shouted desperately.
Sebastian scrambled to his feet and bolted without hesitation.
Saving Lana seemed impossible now. If he didn't escape immediately, he'd lose his life. Survival was paramount now. He had to find another way.
"Think you can escape?" Julian sneered and launched a barrage of ferocious attacks to block Sebastian's path.
Julian's strikes were destructive. Each punch was powerful enough to demolish a pavilion and carve a six-foot-wide crater.
After narrowly evading each attack, Sebastian fled without a moment's hesitation.
Julian moved to pursue, but Lana stood firm in his way.
"Get out of my way!" Julian yelled and pushed Lana aside with a single punch.
Though she bought a little precious time, it was enough. Sebastian had already put considerable distance between them.
"Lana, are you okay?" Luke rushed over to support Lana as she coughed up black blood.
The hostility in Julian's eyes flared. Without Lana, Sebastian wouldn't have escaped.
Sensing Julian's anger, Luke quickly intervened. "Grandpa, please don't be upset. I'll make sure Lana never disobeys you again."
Julian felt his anger dissipate slightly after hearing Luke's words. He was particularly fond of Luke. He handed a pill to him, "Give her this, quick."
"Thank you, Grandpa," Luke said and quickly handed the pill to Lana.
Meanwhile, Julian ordered everyone to hunt down Sebastian at all costs. Although he didn't know who Sebastian was, his strength posed a significant threat that required immediate elimination.
"Where's Mr. Ethan? Where did he go?" Julian demanded.
Luke replied, "Grandpa, I had him keep an eye on Sebastian."
Julian rushed to the pigsty, but both Ethan and Sebastian were gone.
Under Julian's intense questioning, the guards revealed that Ethan had left his post, but they had no idea where Sebastian had gone.
"Could that fake Mr. Ethan have been Sebastian in disguise?" one of the Elders speculated. "Impossible! The imposter was far too strong to be him," Luke retorted.
Julian nodded. "You're right. Sebastian couldn't have been that powerful. But whether it's Sebastian or the imposter, they must be destroyed. And we must find the real Mr. Ethan, dead or alive!"
The Lennon and Sanders families searched through the night but still found nothing by dawn.
Meanwhile, Sebastian hid in Cassandra's villa to heal from the severe injuries and poison caused by Julian's attack. His sturdy frame and the Purple Miracle Pill helped expel the poison and heal his wounds.
After disguising himself as an ordinary young man, he hurried back to the Lennon residence.
The Lennon residence was festively decorated for Luke and Lana's wedding.
Guests arrived to offer congratulations while Luke proudly welcomed them at the entrance. Today, his face beamed with pride and happiness.
