Chapter 253
Sebastian Sterling's lack of response to the verbal taunts only fueled Marco's rage further. The mid-ranked Ronin member's face twisted with fury as he launched himself forward."You think you can ignore me, you piece of trash?" Marco snarled as he threw his first punch.Sebastian's movements were sluggish, the poison still coursing through his system making his reflexes painfully slow. Marco's fist connected cleanly with his jaw, snapping his head back."That's what I'm talking about!" Marco roared, following up with a brutal combination to Sebastian's ribs.Sebastian staggered under the assault, his compromised coordination making it impossible to defend properly. Another vicious hook caught him in the temple, sending him crashing to the canvas.The crowd erupted in jeers and mockery."Look at the mighty Sebastian Sterling now!" one Ronin member shouted gleefully."Getting his ass kicked by someone half his reputation!" another voice added."This is pathetic! He's done for!"Sebasti
Chapter 252
Sebastian Sterling emerged from the dressing room, his mind racing as he tried to identify the type of poison coursing through his system. Each step toward the ring felt like walking through quicksand, his legs betraying him with every movement.He staggered slightly as he approached the ring, his knees visibly shaking beneath him. The gathered Ronin members immediately noticed his unsteady gait."Look at the hotshot now!" one of them jeered loudly. "Shaking like a leaf!""So much for being a tough guy!" another voice called out mockingly. "Can't even walk straight!""I thought you were supposed to be some kind of badass, Sterling!" a third Ronin member laughed. "Why are you trembling like a scared little girl?""Maybe he wet himself!" someone shouted, causing an eruption of cruel laughter."This is pathetic! The man's terrified!"Sebastian gritted his teeth, forcing himself to maintain his composure despite the weakness spreading through his body.Head Hunter watched from ringside, h

Head Hunter's voice crackled through the phone speaker with barely contained excitement. "The problem at headquarters has been dealt with, Sebastian. You can come back now."Sebastian Sterling adjusted his grip on the phone, aware of Vivian's furious glare burning into him from across the bar table."I'm listening," Sebastian replied coolly."It's time for your next fight," Head Hunter continued. "I've got a mid-ranked member lined up for you. This one's going to be a real test of what you're made of."Vivian's face contorted with disgust as she listened to the conversation. The sound of Head Hunter's voice alone was enough to make her blood boil."I'll be there within the hour," Sebastian confirmed."Good. Don't disappoint me, Sterling. I'm starting to think you might actually have what it takes to climb the ranks."After Sebastian ended the call, Vivian exploded with renewed fury."You make me sick!" she spat, her voice dripping with venom. "Absolutely sick! How can you just sit the

Sebastian finally looked directly at her, his gaze steady. "If I hadn't done it, Head Hunter would have sent someone far more ruthless and inconsiderate to kidnap you. Someone who wouldn't have cared about your safety or well-being.""So you're saying I should thank you?" Vivian's voice dripped with sarcasm. "Is that what this is? You want gratitude for traumatizing me?""I want you to understand the reality of the situation," Sebastian replied. "Head Hunter wanted you. One way or another, he was going to get you. At least my way, you survived."Vivian laughed bitterly. "Your way? Your way involved poisoning me with some deadly virus!"Sebastian's lips curved into a slight smile. "I was the one who infected you."
CHAPTER 250 PART 1
To Head Hunter's utter surprise, Karvel worked with swift precision, his hands moving expertly as he prepared the antidote. Within what felt like mere minutes, he straightened up and wiped his hands clean."I'm done," Karvel announced simply.Head Hunter's eyes narrowed with suspicion. "That's impossible! No one works that fast!""Do you want to waste more time questioning my methods, or do you want to save your people?" Karvel replied calmly.Head Hunter's jaw clenched. "You'll administer the cure to Vivian first. If she dies, you die with her."Karvel nodded without hesitation. "Fine by me."He moved toward Vivian's makeshift cell, carrying a vial of the clear antidote. Her face was pale and drawn, sweat beading on her forehead from the fever."This might sting a little," Karvel said gently as he administered the injection.Within moments, color began returning to Vivian's cheeks. Her breathing steadied, and the glazed look in her eyes cleared."It worked," she whispered in amazemen
CHAPTER 249 PART 2
The silence stretched for several long moments, broken only by the labored breathing of the infected. Finally, Head Hunter's shoulders sagged slightly."Alright," he said through gritted teeth. "I agree to your conditions."Karvel raised an eyebrow. "That was hardly convincing. And certainly not binding.""What more do you want from me?" Head Hunter demanded."A warrior's vow," Karvel said simply. "Made in front of all your men."Head Hunter went completely still, his face pale. "How do you know about—""Does it matter?" Karvel interrupted. "You know the rules. A vow made before the squad must be honored, or the one who breaks it faces death.""You can't possibly know about Ronin codes," Head Hunter whispered, his voice filled with disbelief. "You're nobody! A worthless nobody!"Karvel's lips curved into the faintest hint of a smile. "Are you going to make the vow, or are you going to let everyone die while you have an existential crisis?"Head Hunter looked around at his fallen men,
