Chapter 1278

Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

“Hello?”

Sebastian was about to detonate another armory of the many checkpoints, but he paused when the
man on the other end asked with a hoarse voice, “How many of my armories have you destroyed?”

“Eddie?”

The man on the other end guffawed because Sebastian’s murderous intent was all over his callous
tone.

“Yes! It’s me! Answer me! How many armories have you destroyed?”

‘What do you think?”

“Judith set up more than ten checkpoints throughout the route that was a few thousand miles. I think it’s
about time for you to take out the armory of the third checkpoint.”

He carried on with the conversation in a casual manner just like he had nothing to do with the armories.

Sebastian sneered and announced, “I’m so sorry to let you down because I’m down to the last one as
of now. You don’t think I’m going to take it one at a time, do you?”

Eddie couldn’t remain calm anymore. Gritting his teeth, he stuttered, “Y-You—”

The duo had one thing in common—the intention to take out the other party.

In order to provoke the already irked Eddie, Sebastian switched to speaker mode and detonated the
armory after a few seconds.



Bam!

It wasn’t even necessary for Sebastian to explain he had just blown up another one of Eddie’s many
armories.

Irked, Eddie yelled, “Sebastian, you’re going to regret your decisions!”

Sebastian dismissed the man and hung up the call before casting the custom-made lighter toward the
flushed away explosives.

The weapons wouldn’t be much of a threat as soon as it was soaked. However, it was of utmost
importance to make sure no one could get their hands on it.

The lighter had been custom-made to destroy the weapons once and for all.

After a few minutes, Sebastian received another call. As irked as he might be, he picked up the phone
and asked, “What?”

“A-Argh!” someone started shrieking the moment the connection was established.

Sebastian looked at the screen of his phone and saw Jake yelling, “N-No! S-Spare my father!”

It turned out Jake and his father had been taken into custody against their will shortly after their
departure from the hospital.

They were imprisoned in some sort of warehouse. Jake’s father was on the verge of passing on while
Jake was tied up.

“Sebastian, you should’ve seen this coming the moment you thought of picking on me!”

Shortly after the vicious man finished his warning, he launched a powerful strike in the direction of the
barely conscious man with a hammer.



In split seconds, there was blood all over the place. The defenseless Jake continued yelling hysterically
as his father passed on right before his eyes.

It was finally Sebastian’s turn to yell at the man on the other end, “Eddie, set him free at once!”

“I thought of setting them shortly after our conversation, but you hung up on me! Haven’t you had a lot
of fun destroying my things? It’s my turn to destroy the ones you hold dear in mind!”

As the heartless man returned to the side of the defenseless Jake with the hammer, Sebastian couldn’t
take it anymore.

Never would he think he had to grovel himself at the mercy of the vicious man. However, he wasn’t
given much of an option to keep his friend safe.

“No! It was merely a lie! There are quite a few left! As soon as you set him free, I’ll return those to you!”

Scowling, Eddie stopped and asked, “Are you sure you’re not lying?”

In an attempt to convince him, Sebastian showed him the map he had with his hands shivering against
his will.

“See! You still have four armories at the underwater checkpoints nearby North Sea! I couldn’t destroy
them in time because I hadn’t thought of the escape route for the team after detonating those
checkpoints!!”

A few seconds of silence later, the man on the other hand stopped approaching Jake and returned to
the phone.

“Well, you’re quite an intelligent man, aren’t you? Judith wouldn’t have passed on there if only she put
herself ahead of others back in the day!”



“What? Are you telling me she has passed on in an attempt to unveil your malicious plan?”

“Yes! We had quite a serious conflict because I was against the idea of setting up underwater
checkpoints! I warned her of unforeseen circumstances wiping us out, but she insisted it was the right
thing to do! I had to prove her wrong! Voila, she must’ve regretted her decisions when she was on the
verge of dying!”

Is this some sort of confession? It turns out this jerk is also the one behind Judith’s demise! I can’t
believe he has brought upon the demise of such an honorable woman merely because he’s jealous!

Sebastian’s bulging veins could be seen on his forehead because he was very close to losing his cool.
