Chapter 250
Harrison's expression darkened instantly. He glared coldly at Sebastian and said, " Sebastian, I'm warning you, stay away from Esme or it won't end well for you."
This was a blatant threat. Although he knew Sebastian was a capable fighter, Harrison didn't take him seriously. After all, this wasn't ancient times. In today's world, wealth and power were what mattered.
The Zatch family was one of the ten great families, and as the eldest son, Harrison was the future heir to his family. To him, Sebastian was nothing more than a brute. If he wanted, he had numerous ways to make Sebastian disappear.
Sebastian smirked and replied, "I hate being threatened. If you tell me to stay away from her, I'll do the exact opposite. What can you do about it?"
The crowd erupted in whispers.
"Who is this guy? How dare he talk to Mr. Zatch like that? He's got guts."
"He's either very brave or very stupid to challenge Mr. Zatch openly. He's asking for trouble.

Everyone looked at Sebastian as if he were already a dead man. Predictably, Harrison's face twisted with rage. "Sebastian, you're courting death. I can make sure you don't see tomorrow's sunrise!"
No one doubted Harrison's capability to carry out his threat. As the eldest son of the Zatch family, making someone disappear was as easy as squashing an ant.
Esme shouted angrily, "Harrison, if you dare harm him, the Bailey family won't let you get away with it!"
Harrison dismissed her warning with a sneer. With the Zatch family now closely allied with the Lloyd family, he no longer feared the Bailey family.
At that moment, a group of people led by Taylor's grandfather, Gabriel, appeared.
Taylor, who had been rendered impotent by Sebastian and was now consumed with a burning desire for revenge, stood by his side.
Seeing Sebastian, Taylor's anger surged. His eyes blazed with fury. "Sebastian, you bastard! I'll tear you to pieces to satisfy my vengeance!"
Despite Taylor's intense anger, ,his high-pitched voice made the threat sound almost comical.
"You can try," Sebastian said with a smirk. To him, Taylor was nothing more than an ant. It was laughable that he thought he could seek revenge.
Infuriated by Sebastian's dismissive expression, Taylor shouted, "I'll kill you!" He clenched
his fist, ready to throw a punch.
"Calm down. This is not the place for that," Gabriel said, quickly stopping Taylor.
Realizing the gravity of the situation, Taylor took a deep breath. He knew Sebastian's prowess. Despite having trained under a master, he doubted he could match Sebastian.
More importantly, they were at Misty Oak Hotel for an event hosted by the Supreme One. Any act of violence here would be seen as a direct challenge to the Supreme One's authority and would result in severe consequences.
Gabriel fixed Sebastian with a cold stare. "Kid, I've been too busy to deal with you, but your time is up. After the banquet, I'll send you to hell."
A sudden burst of killing intent emanated from Gabriel, sending a chill through the crowd. Before Sebastian could respond, Esme stepped in.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
She said firmly, "I don't care who you are, but I won't let you harm Mr. Wilder. If you try, you'll have the Bailey family to contend with."
Everyone was taken aback by Esme's staunch defense of Sebastian, and curiosity about their relationship spread through the crowd.
