Remorse After Breaking Up

Chapter 482

"Hugo, what's all this ruckus early in the morning?" Cleef strode out with a scowl.

Hugo's anger eased slightly upon seeing him. "Mr. Strauss, I've come to challenge Seamus. Get him out here right.

now."

"I suggest you turn around and leave before you make a fool of yourself," Cleef advised.

Hugo said coldly, "A lot can happen in just a few days. I'm not the same person I was two days ago. I'm here to prove myself and reclaim my dignity in front of everyone."

Cleef shook his head and smirked disdainfully. Although he suspected that Hugo might have made a breakthrough in his cultivation, he doubted Hugo would ever get his revenge on Sebastian.

Hugo was set on exacting his revenge, so he shouted again, "Seamus, come out here and settle this once and for all if you're a man! Stop hiding like a coward!"

His voice boomed with such intensity that it traveled several dozen miles. Besides the Strauss family, everyone on Phoenix Island could hear him.

The uproar quickly drew a crowd. Along with the Strauss family, members of the Lorence and Claude families also joined the growing crowd.

This was Hugo's intention. The defeat he suffered at Sebastian's hands was the biggest disgrace of his life. So, he aimed to defeat crushed Sebastian in front of everyone to reclaim his dignity.

Sebastian had finished his morning routine but wasn't rushing to go outside. Instead, he took his time enjoying breakfast with his mother-in-law, Yasmin Lorence.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Yasmin frowned at the shouting outside. "Hugo really doesn't know when to quit. He knows he's no match for you, yet he's out there provoking you. Isn't he just asking for trouble?"

"He must have had a breakthrough in his cultivation. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare challenge me," he said.

"Ah... what should we do? Maybe you should just stay inside," she suggested.

"Hugo is just being vindictive. If I stay inside, he'll keep barking outside and being a nuisance. I might as well go out and get rid of him," Sebastian replied casually.

"But if he had a breakthrough, can you still handle him?" Yasmin asked, worried.

She was the third daughter of the Lorence family and also Amos' cousin. Although Hugo was her nephew, her concern for her son-in-law, Sebastian, took precedence.

"He's just an ant. I don't even see him as a threat," Sebastian said dismissively.

"I'm glad to hear that." Yasmin let out a sigh of relief. She believed in Sebastian's words, especially since Cleef had mentioned that Sebastian was at the divine grandmaster level.

Although she found that claim somewhat exaggerated, she was confident that Sebastian was at least a late-stage grandmaster. So, she was relieved upon seeing his confidence.

After finishing his breakfast, Sebastian headed outside, with Yasmin and Clara following closely behind.

At that moment, Hugo was still shouting and hurling insults at Sebastian, calling him a lackey and a coward. The Lorence family had also shown up to join Hugo in his taunts.

The Strauss family was outraged by the commotion. Cleef scowled but refrained from stepping in. He considered this a matter for the younger generation and chose not to intervene.

"Mr. Seamus is here!"

The Strauss family was thrilled upon seeing Sebastian.

"Mr. Seamus!"

They greeted him with deep reverence. Their eyes were filled with admiration and respect, which Clara found infuriating.

As the family's heiress, she had never received such deference, let alone admiration, from these people.
