Remorse After Breaking Up (Sebastian) novel Chapter 988

The value of a fourth-tier alchemist greatly surpassed that of a typical Lesser Deity Master. What stood out even more was Sebastian's age. His potential for greatness seemed boundless.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Luther decided to step in for Sebastian. He looked at Cadmus and Galen before asking, "Gentlemen, may I have a word?"

"You must be Mr. Lockhart from Gaudium Sacred Ground. I'm Cadmus Hughes, the esteemed elder of Swordity. It's an honor to meet you," Cadmus said respectfully.

Though they were Lesser Deity Masters, the disparity in strength and status was significant, so it was hard to compare them.

"Mr. Hughes, there's no need for formalities. I have an unusual request, and I hope that the both of you can grant me this favor," Luther said.

"Go ahead, Mr. Lockhart," Cadmus replied.

Galen nodded in agreement.

"I'd like you both to consider sparing this young man," Luther said as he gestured toward Sebastian.

"What?"

Cadmus and Galen were taken aback. They didn't expect Luther to speak up for Sebastian.

The others present were equally shocked.

As an elder of the Sacred Ground, Luther held the highest rank and strength in the room. His words commanded respect, and no one dared to dismiss them.

Cadmus and Galen exchanged resigned glances. Their hatred for Sebastian ran deep, and letting him go so easily left a bitter taste in their mouths.

Galen said, "Mr. Lockhart, I'd usually agree to your request. But this brat has continuously defied us and stirred up trouble in our territory. How can we uphold our honor if we don't deal with him today?"

Luther replied, "I know there's some tension between you two. Honestly, there's no deep-seated hatred here. Why don't we have him apologize, and I'll sweeten the deal with ten bottles of Cultivation Boost Pills as compensation?"

Luther turned to Sebastian and said, "Why don't you apologize to Mr. Galen?"

Sebastian smiled faintly. "Mr. Lockhart, thank you for stepping in for me, but I have my principles. I don't think I've done anything wrong, so I'm not sure how to apologize."

"You brat! You're digging your own grave!" Galen shouted, his fury palpable. "I'd crush you with a single blow if it weren't for Mr. Lockhart."

Sebastian met the threat with a smirk. "You old bastard really think too highly of yourself. You believe you can kill me? That's just foolish."

Gasps rippled through the crowd.

"Holy crap, is this brat insane? He's talking back to Mr. Galen. That's a death wish."

"This brat is really asking for it. Mr. Lockhart went out of his way to save him, and now he's throwing it all away. If he ends up dead, he'll have no one to blame but himself."
