Chapter 1279

Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

In the end, Sebastian relented for Jake’s sake.

Thus, the plan to destroy the other three bases was aborted.

“Mr. Hayes, isn’t that too risky? From what I’ve heard, the ammunition stored in these three bases is
way more superior to what we just destroyed. If it ever falls into Eddie’s hands, we’ll be doomed.”

Karl was worried sick when he heard the news.

However, Sebastian kept mum.

His face darkened as he stared at the base they just destroyed.

Karl was stumped.

What is he staring at? It’s just a big hole.

Karl followed his gaze.

“Can a submarine fit in the waters below?” Sebastian spoke up as he was hit with a sudden realization.

“Huh?” Karl was stunned.

“I don’t think so. The minimum water depth of most modern submarines is 400 meters. Even though
we’re at the sea bed, I don’t think we’re in the deep sea since they’re capable of digging a tunnel here.
Why? Are you thinking of making your way there using a submarine?”

“Yes.” Sebastian nodded in confirmation.



Indeed, the seabed was the best route for them to get there since they were being blackmailed by
Eddie at the moment. However, if submarines won’t work, they would need to think harder for
alternatives.

Restlessness engulfed Sebastian once again.

It was getting harder for him to keep his cool these days. He would lose his temper and get irritated
very easily, especially after Felicity’s incident at the hospital.

In the end, he gave up and opted to wait for Jake’s news.

Meanwhile, Devin, who was at the hospital, had also found out about the unexpected turn of events. He
found it hard to believe that they were going to hand the ammunition depot over to Eddie just like that.

“Did Mr. Sebastian not do anything about it? He’s just going to allow Eddie to get away with it?”

“Yes. So far there’s nothing from him. I’ve only heard Mr. Sebastian asking Mr. Frost if it’s possible to
make their way over with a submarine. Mr. Frost told him no and that was the end of it.”

A member of the special forces reported everything that had happened in detail to Devin.

Devin found it even harder to believe when he heard the news.

Sebastian has no plans?

For real?

Is it because of Jake?

Well, he does look like someone who values friendship even though he appears indifferent. Devin
couldn’t stand sitting around anymore and left the hospital with his injured lumbar spine.



“Major, are we going to rescue Mr. Chandler?”

“Yes. Sebastian’s hands are tied probably because of something Eddie had shown him. I need you to
get me the advance team. I need to first pinpoint that old man’s location,” Devin said through gritted
teeth.

Hence, he set off to hunt Eddie down after a few minutes of delay.

Sebastian wasn’t made aware of Devin’s plan since he was still in the tunnel. Nonetheless, he slowly
came back to his senses after getting some rest.

“What time is it now?”

“It’s been two hours. Mr. Hayes, are we really just going to sit back and do nothing? I have yet to hear
back from Mr. Chandler.”

Karl also felt as if something was off.

He would have blurted out his question if Sebastian didn’t look so tired in the past two hours.

Luckily for him, Sebastian stood up right after he finished speaking.

“Yeah. Call Xayden. I need to ask him something.”

“Okay.”

Karl quickly pulled out his phone and dialed Oceanic Estate’s number.

Sebastian was already reading the military map when Xayden picked up the call after about ten
seconds later.



“Is there a way to make these bombs dissolve?” Sebastian asked the first moment the call went
through.

“Pfft!”

Xayden wasn’t the only one taken by surprise as he spat out the mouthful of water he had just drank
onto the lab table.

Even Karl’s eyes twitched and he looked away upon hearing Sebastian’s request.

Let the bombs dissolve?

My dear, do you even know what you’re talking about? These bombs have a boiling point of 1000
degrees Celsius. It’s impossible to dissolve them.

For the first time ever, Karl felt as if the Mr. Hayes he had held in the highest regard was merely
human.

“N-No, Mr. Hayes, you can’t dissolve nuclear energy,” Xayden replied.

“So is there any way to dissolve or destroy these bombs in the shortest amount of time? I noticed that
even after I set them alight using the lighter you gave me, the weapons are not completely destroyed in
the waters.”

“That’s for sure. The sea water will only crystallize part of the aqueous solution in the lighter and
prevent the nuclear reactor core from having a meltdown. You’re asking me to do the impossible right
now.”

Xayden explained everything to Sebastian in layman terms through the phone.
