Remorse After Breaking Up (Sebastian) novel Chapter 724

As the dust finally cleared, Sebastian had already dashed 328 feet away. The three men hurried after him, but by the time they entered the forest, Sebastian had disappeared without a trace.

The terrifying power Sebastian had displayed left the three of them too afraid to split up, constantly on guard for a surprise attack. None of them dared to go deeper into the woods.

Caspian had no choice but to abandon the chase, and the three returned to Imperial Chaplain Manor.

"Lord Lawson, who is that man? How can he be so powerful?" one of the warlords asked.

"I don't know. It's as if he appeared out of thin air," Caspian replied, his face dark with frustration.

From their earlier battle, Caspian realized Sebastian's strength was far beyond what he had expected. In a one-on-one fight, he wasn't confident he could stand a chance.

"Lord Lawson, we've already completely offended him. Once he's recovered, he'll definitely come for revenge. What should we do?"

Both warlords were very anxious. Even if the three of them joined forces, they might not be able to handle Sebastian at full strength. If they were separated, he could easily take them out one by one. With Sebastian alive, none of them would ever sleep soundly again.

Caspian's eyes flickered with cold calculation. After a moment of thought, he said, "There is a forbidden technique I know of. It can temporarily increase my power several times over. If I can successfully perform it, killing that man would be a simple matter."

"Lord Lawson, are you talking about the Blood Demon Pill?" one of the warlords asked hesitantly.

Caspian shook his head. "The Blood Demon Pill can double one's strength, but the side effects are too severe. If anything goes wrong, you could end up crippled. The forbidden technique has side effects too, but they're far less dangerous. However…"

He trailed off, leaving his sentence unfinished.

The Southern warlord quickly urged, "However what?"

"The forbidden technique is called 'forbidden' for a reason. It requires something truly sinister—the blood of 3000 virgin boys and 3000 virgin girls. You also need the blood of numerous warriors as a catalyst for it to work. It's an abominable method."

The Southern warlord frowned. "That's monstrous. Such a method would be condemned by the gods and even humans."

In fact, the forbidden technique didn't just temporarily boost power. It also granted a permanent increase in strength. He had already been preparing for this for some time, and now everything was falling into place.

Even if these recent events hadn't occurred, he would have found an excuse to perform the ritual eventually. Now, with the two warlords aiding him, it was all the more convenient.

The two warlords wasted no time in setting things in motion. The Western warlord, in particular, was eager. The Southern warlord, though uneasy, saw no other option.

Refusing would mean falling out of favor with Caspian. Even if Sebastian didn't kill them, Caspian surely would. Besides, their families would be dragged down with them too.

They had no choice but to help Caspian.

The two warlords sent their most trusted subordinates to pose as bandits and raid remote mountain villages, abducting the children they needed.

Of course, for the sake of safety, they chose to do it in some distant mountain villages.
