Remorse After Breaking Up



Almost immediately, the needles turned dark, and black droplets of blood soon began to ooze from them.

As these droplets hit the floor, they sizzled and dissolved, revealing the potent poison inside Bruce.

Any regular person would have kicked the bucket long ago. Bruce's advanced cultivation base had kept him alive this far, though now he was hanging on by a thread.

Rather than kill him outright, Julian preferred to relish in slowly tormenting Bruce. They had no deep-seated hatred, and Julian's actions had just exposed his cruel nature.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

The detoxification process lasted over ten minutes. By the end, Sebastian was pale, his forehead slick with sweat. He was on the verge of collapsing from exhaustion.

By then, Sebastian had used up his spiritual energy to remove the needles.

"Mr. Sanders, how are you feeling now?"

Bruce's face lit up with surprise as he answered, "Sebastian, I had no idea you had this skill. Most of the poison in my body has been purged, and I can even channel some energy."

Bruce felt a glimmer of hope. Despair had been his only companion, but now, the prospect of fully detoxifying and regaining strength offered a chance to rescue Lana and escape, if not achieve complete revenge.

Sebastian panted heavily and said, "Mr. Sanders, let me rest for a bit. I'll finish purging the rest of the poison from your body soon."

"Sebastian, thank you for saving me," Bruce said gratefully. After all, help was hard to come by in times of trouble.":

"This is what I should do," Sebastian replied. He then sat down cross-legged to recover. He took half a Purple Miracle Pill and circulated energy to refine it as his energy was slowly restored.

"Sebastian, someone's approaching," Bruce suddenly warned hurriedly.

Sebastian sensed it too. He quickly stood up and covered the corroded floor with some dry grass.

It was Cassandra.

"Ethan, why do you look so pale?" Cassandra asked.

"I was discussing something with Bruce and had a sudden insight. I started cultivating right here and nearly went berserk in my haste. Thankfully, I managed to avoid a disaster," Sebastian explained.

Cassandra remained skeptical and eyed him suspiciously. "Mr. Ethan, come with me. I need to speak with you."

Sebastian locked the cell door and followed Cassandra out of the dungeon.

"What's this about, Ms. Lennon?" he asked.

"You'll soon find out," Cassandra replied with a cryptic smile.

Cassandra then led Sebastian away from the Sanders Manor and into a car. She drove herself.

Despite Sebastian's questions, Cassandra refused to reveal their destination, which made him uneasy.

There was something about Cassandra that hinted at impending danger.

After a few minutes, she stopped in front of an isolated villa nestled against a mountain surrounded by woods. The area was secluded.

Sebastian followed Cassandra into the villa.

She gestured for him to sit on the couch and fetched a jar of wine. "This is Centennial Wine. I've been saving it. Tell me how it tastes."

"Ms. Lennon, please, just tell me what this is about first. I won't be able to enjoy the wine otherwise," Sebastian said.

"What's the rush? Let's have a drink first." Cassandra downed a glass and said, "See? No poison."

Still cautious, Sebastian sniffed the wine before cautiously taking a sip.

Cassandra's face twisted into a triumphant smirk as soon as Sebastian drank the wine.
