Chapter 1613 To Wear A Crown

That gave Karl an epiphany, and he finally understood what Sebastian was implying.

“You mean Jason is planning on returning to Elysium to fight for the king’s position?” he asked.

With his eyes still fixated on the cigarette, Sebastian’s lips curled in disdain as he replied, “Perhaps. It’s
also possible that he’s simply being used as a pawn by someone else.”

Karl froze.

A pawn? What does he mean by that?



“You mean…”

“Calvin had never left SteelFort when Charles went looking for him, so no one had ever seen his face.
After that incident in which Calvin was captured, that b*stard was the only one who had seen him, but
he’s dead now. Who else do you think would still remember his face?”



Karl stared at Sebastian, his mind in turmoil.

He’s right! Why didn’t I think of that? Being SteelFort’s best assassin, Calvin rarely showed himself
before his enemies! Even if he did, he would be sure to keep his face hidden. The first time he showed
his face was when he parted ways with Mr. Hayes at the nightclub in Jadeborough. They were dealing
with the Jadesons at the time. But shortly afterward, he was captured by that b*stard Hubert, and no one
else seemed to have come into contact with him until Sabrina rescued him later on. Hubert worked for
Alfred at the time. And Alfred works for Eddie!

His eyes were bloodshot after he came to that realization.



It was already evening by the time Vivian received a video call from Sebastian.

“Vivian, I have a question for you. Will you answer it for me?”

“Sure thing, Daddy!” Vivian replied while sitting in front of her laptop.

Feeling relieved, Sebastian wasted no time asking his seventeen-year-old daughter, “Vivian, do you still
remember Calvin?”

“Huh? H-How did you know about that, Daddy?” she stuttered, panicking a little as she did not tell
Sebastian about her meeting someone who looked the same as Calvin.

While guilt ate away at her conscience, she stared at her father anxiously.

To her surprise, however, Sebastian did not get mad at her in the slightest. Instead, he maintained that
gentle look in his eyes as he said, “I’ve always known that, Vivian. I know you can’t bring yourself to
forget him. Now that the bad guys who caused his demise back then have reappeared, I want to ask you
if you’re willing to avenge Calvin by bringing them to justice.”

Vivian, who had spent the entire day waiting for Sebastian’s update, did not expect him to say such a
thing at all.

Had Kurt been around to hear that, he, too, would find it rather unbelievable. In his opinion, most fathers
would want to keep their daughters as far away from danger as possible, yet Sebastian did the exact
opposite.

Sasha had tears in her eyes as she watched from the side.

The next thing they saw was Vivian, who used to be a scaredy-cat, leaped to her feet upon hearing that
she could avenge Calvin by bringing the bad guys to justice.



“Really? I’ll do it, Daddy! I want to avenge Brother Cal! I want to get those bad guys arrested! I’m willing
to help!”

Sebastian had been hesitant about asking her that question as he did not know how she would respond.
Thus, seeing her agree to it readily set his heart at ease.

Unlike most parents who would want an easy life for their children, he preferred for them to become
capable individuals.

Ian was probably the best example of what he wanted out of his children.

Noticing that Ian was devastated by his best friend’s betrayal, Sebastian helped him get back on his feet
by giving him missions.

He did not want to overindulge his children because that would make them weak. Just like how a good
sword would require a lot of tempering, a person would have to go through many hardships to grow
stronger.

To wear a crown, one must bear its weight.

Like her brother, Vivian accepted the mission that Sebastian had tasked her with.

Sasha waited until the two of them had ended the video call before asking worriedly, “If that mother and
son duo truly are suspicious, wouldn’t it be dangerous for Vivian to go to school there?”

“Don’t worry about that. I’ll arrange for Karl to protect her during her time there,” Sebastian reassured.

“All right, then…” she replied, feeling at ease that Vivian would be under Karl’s protection.

However, she soon thought of Kurt.



“What about Kurt, then? He’ll go looking for Vivian if he knows she has transferred all of a sudden, won’t
he? Do you think he’d interfere with the plan if he finds out about it?”
