For instance, Yancy killed Solomonâs father and fought over Hayes Corporation by using Solomonâs
name.
After being rejected by Luke, Solomon left, dejected.
Suddenly, Karl showed up before him and asked, âMr. Solomon, are you looking for Mr. Hayes? Please
come with me.â
Solomon was startled for a while but got into the car with Karl. Soon, they left the city and headed toward
a remote rural area.
Two hours later, they arrived at a great expanse of wasteland. As the car entered the land, a barrier
appeared out of nowhere.
âPlease say the passcode!â
â0113!â Karl responded.
Solomon was struck dumb when a series of numbers in 3D was shown on the barrier. A moment later, an
image of a face appeared.
âScanning completed. Verification done. Please come in,â the system responded in a mechanic female
voice.
Bam! Suddenly, the wasteland disappeared and turned into a white entrance that rose slowly.
Solomon couldnât believe his eyes.
His mind was still blank when they entered the base.
What is it? Is it some modern technology?
What exactly is Sebastian up to in this piece of wasteland?
Solomon had no idea where he was and why he was brought here.
âMr. Hayes, weâve brought him here.â
When Karl brought Solomon to the center of the base, Sebastian had woken up and was writing
something at the table.
However, Sebastian had to stop after writing for a while due to his injury. Covering his wound with his
hands, he sweated profusely.
That was the sight that greeted Solomon as soon as he walked into the base.
âWhat happened to you? Whatâs wrong?â Solomon had never seen Sebastian look so disheveled and
pale, as though he would collapse anytime.
After all, Sebastian always looked a lot more imposing than Solomon whenever they encountered each
other.
So, what happened to him?
Is he going to die?
Solomonâs eyes suddenly glinted at the thought.
âRest assured that Iâm not going to die yet,â Sebastian scoffed as if he could read Solomonâs mind, and
Solomonâs expression turned grim immediately.
Infuriated, he asked Sebastian to hide his uneasiness, âSo, what do you want? Why did you bring me
here?â
Sebastian responded mockingly, âDonât you want to see me? Am I wrong to bring you here?â
Solomon was rendered speechless.
âAlright. In that case, you shouldâve known why Iâm looking for you. Do you agree to my offer?â
âI donât.â
Much to Solomonâs surprise, Sebastian rejected his offer without hesitation.
Solomon was infuriated by the answer; he had an emotional outburst and yelled, âWhy do you bring me
to this place then? Are you trying to humiliate me and enjoy the pleasure of becoming the winner?â
As Solomon kept scolding Sebastian, Sebastian didnât utter a word to stop him.
After Solomon finished venting his feelings, Sebastian gazed at him and explained coldly, âI donât agree
to it, for I believe that youâre a smart guy. As such, you should choose Hayes Corporation over a woman
who betrayed you many times.â
âWhat did you say?â
Solomon was stunned upon hearing Sebastianâs remark.
âWhat do you mean by choosing Hayes Corporation?â
âI mean Hayes Corporation that youâve always coveted. Solomon, Iâm now giving you a chance. Kill
Yancy, and Hayes Corporation will be yours.â
As the light cast a faint glow upon Sebastianâs face, Solomon could see his cool and aloof expression.
The next moment, Solomon jumped, for Sebastian put on a spooky smile as he spoke.
âAre you insane?â
Overwhelmed by shock and anger, Solomon could only come up with a few words.
Sebastian flashed him a faint smile and replied, âShe deserves to die, doesnât she? I mean, she killed
your father and abandoned you for so many years. Do you think you can stay alive if Heather and her
husband didnât raise you?â
He stopped for a while and added, âBesides, Sabrina is your biological sister. If Devin didnât save Sabrina
in advance, do you think Yancy would let her go? Also, remember what happened to Sashaââ
Sebastian clenched his fingers in hatred once he mentioned the name.
Yes, Sasha was also a victim.
A year ago, Sasha fell into Yancyâs hands because of rescuing me at the Empire State Tower.
I had no choice but to hide Sasha on a deserted island so that Yancy couldnât harm her. Moreover, to
make sure that she would stay on the island, I even had to give her a drug injection, and thus she lost
her eyesight.
Has he thought about all these?
Solomon shivered once Sebastian finished reproaching Yancy.
