Remorse After Breaking Up

Chapter 481

The Strauss family responded with a roar of applause. Nearly everyone was cheering and reveling in the excitement.

"Wow, Mr. Seamus is incredible! He knocked out Hugo with just one punch. That's pure power."

"Everyone thought. Mr. Seamus was a failure, but he's actually a hidden master. It's like he was sent from above to save our family."

The elders were so moved that their eyes brimmed with tears. At that instant, they stop doubting Cleef's sanity. Instead, they praised his foresight.

Clara looked at Sebastian admiringly. She couldn't help but think how fortunate she was to have such a strong husband.

When the competition ended, the final rankings were revealed. The top six were:

First place: Seamus

Second place: Hugo Lorence

Third place: Ferdinand Claude

Fourth place: Sophia Claude

Fifth place: Harold Lorence

Sixth place: Amelia Claude

Based on the ranking, the Claude family had acquired three medicinal plant farms and was the biggest winner. However, the real victor was the Strauss family. Although they had only won one farm, it was the best farm of all. With the Lorence and Claude families losing their best medicinal plant farms to them, the Strauss family ended up with three of the best farms.

Cleef was grinning from ear to ear. Once they returned home, he threw a grand feast to celebrate with the entire family.

During the feast, many people toasted Sebastian with admiration and flattery. It sharply contrasted the cold reception he had received at his wedding. It showed that this respect was a direct result of his strength.

Besides that, many women envied Clara. They felt that, as a woman, being married to such a remarkable man was a blessing.

Clara's attitude toward Sebastian had changed dramatically. She had become much more affectionate and often called him "Honey."

Despite that, his feelings toward her remained cold. He hadn't forgotten how she treated him on their wedding night. Plus, she had given him tea laced with ironbane powder during the competition earlier.

This drug drained one's strength. Although it wasn't deadly, its effects during the match could be devastating. It was essentially the same as attempted murder.

Sebastian would have already divorced Clara if it weren't for his respect for Cleef.

That evening, she did something unprecedented. She took the initiative to attend to Sebastian.

Two days went by, and he still hadn't regained his memory. He resigned himself to the possibility of staying on Phoenix Island long-term.

But just as things seemed to settle, a thunderous, enraged shout pierced the morning air before he had even gotten out of bed.

"Lackey! Come out and meet your doom!"

The shout boomed like thunder. It was so loud that the Strauss family and everyone in the surrounding area could

hear it. They were stunned and didn't know what had triggered such an uproar.

Sebastian's eyes snapped open as a brief flash of cold glint crossed his gaze. He swiftly got out of bed and dressed.

"Honey, that's Hugo's voice. He's probably come for revenge. Just ignore him," Clara said, hugging him from behind.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

"Making noise at dawn and messing up my sleep? If I don't teach him a lesson, he'll think I'm an easy target." He pushed her away and walked outside.

"Lackey! Get your sorry ass out here and meet your doom!" Hugo continued his loud and relentless shouting outside the Strauss residence.

At that moment, a crowd gathered upon hearing the commotion and began murmuring among themselves. Many thought Hugo had lost his mind. He wasn't a match for Sebastian, and seeking revenge was just going to make a fool of himself.

However, a few astute observers guessed that Hugo might have recently broken through to a higher cultivation level. Considering he had been at the middle-stage pinnacle grandmaster level, advancing to the late-stage grandmaster wasn't impossible.
