The Indomitable War God

Chapter 5

Sebastian walked calmly through the falling snow as he held the phone to his ear.

“What is it?” He asked. His tone remained flat and indifferent. However, Isaac did not dare show the slightest displeasure. Instead, his voice became even more respectful.

“I was informed that you arrived in Cloud City today, so I called to welcome you personally. If Mr Helios permits it, I can arrive immediately to receive you.”

“No. That’s not necessary.” Sebastian declined instantly. “I don’t want unnecessary attention.”

Isaac immediately understood what Sebastian meant. Someone of his status appearing personally would undoubtedly cause a huge commotion in Cloud City.

“I understand,” Isaac replied without hesitation. “I won’t disturb your peace.”

Isaac still vividly remembered the terrifying scene three years ago overseas.

At that time, he had been kidnapped by a powerful armed faction while discussing a business deal abroad.

Just when he thought he was going to die, Sebastian descended from the sky like a god of war and slaughtered everyone in his path.

That day, rivers of blood flowed.

Even now, Isaac still trembled whenever he recalled it.

From that moment onwards, Isaac swore that as long as Sebastian gave the order, he would obey without hesitation.

Sebastian hummed faintly and continued walking through the snowy street while Isaac carefully changed the topic.

“Mr. Helios,” Isaac said carefully, “I’ve already prepared accommodations for you.”

Sebastian continued walking.

“What accommodations?”

“The top penthouse suite of the Nine Dragons Pavilion", Isaac quickly continued.

“I’ve also prepared a Heavenly Dragon Card for you. With the card, you’ll have unrestricted access to all the businesses and industries under the Nine Dragons Group.”

Sebastian’s expression remained calm.

The Nine Dragons Group was one of the most powerful corporations in Cloud City, and its hotel, the Nine Dragons Pavilion, was the most luxurious hotel in Cloud City. Ordinary wealthy people could barely afford to dine there. Even people of extremely high status were barely qualified to enter the upper floors.

As for the top penthouse suite, it was practically a symbol of supreme status.

“Fine,” Sebastian replied casually. He needed a place to stay.

Isaac secretly sighed in relief.

“Also, Mr. Helios,” Isaac continued respectfully, “the Rutherford Group is hosting a high-level banquet next month."

"Most of the influential figures in Cloud City will be in attendance. Would you honor us with your presence?”

Sebastian frowned faintly.

“I’m not interested.”

Isaac hurriedly spoke.

“Mr. Helios, many major families and corporations will be attending. Perhaps there may even be clues regarding the matter you’re investigating.”

Sebastian’s eyes darkened slightly.

His father’s death.

That was the true reason he came to Cloud City.

After a few seconds of silence, Sebastian finally replied calmly.

“I’ll think about it.”

Isaac’s expression brightened.

“Understood!”

He wisely did not push further.

“Is there anything else you require?” Isaac asked cautiously. “As long as I can do it, I won’t hesitate.”

Sebastian narrowed his eyes slightly.

“Find someone for me.”

“Who?”

“Evans Halwell," Sebastian replied. "He's a doctor that's been in hiding for over ten years, so finding him won't be easy."

Isaac immediately replied without hesitation.

“I’ll begin searching immediately.”

“Good.” Sebastian nodded with approval.

“I’ll have someone deliver the items right away.” Isaac informed Sebastian.

"Okay," Sebastian said calmly.

The two exchanged a few more words before ending the call.

Merely minutes later, a black Rolls-Royce Phantom slowly pulled up before Sebastian, and a middle-aged man in a tailored black suit stepped out and bowed respectfully.

“Mr. Helios, President Rutherford instructed me to deliver these personally.”

He handed Sebastian a crystal keycard with a black dragon engraved across its surface, alongside a luxurious wooden box. Inside the box lay a black gold card engraved with a majestic golden dragon.

The Heavenly Dragon Card.

Sebastian merely glanced at it before putting it away casually, as if it were nothing more than an ordinary bank card.

The driver secretly sucked in a breath upon seeing this. Countless wealthy tycoons dreamt of obtaining that card and would have even wept at the sight of it, yet Sebastian treated it like it was a worthless piece of junk.

“Mr. Helios,” the driver said respectfully, “shall I take you to the Nine Dragons Pavilion?”

Sebastian nodded once and stepped into the Rolls-Royce. The driver closed the door carefully before hurrying to his seat. The luxury car soon disappeared into the snowy streets.

Meanwhile, inside the Rose Corporation headquarters, Amelia threw a document onto her desk angrily. Her beautiful face was filled with irritation.

“That old man has completely lost his mind!”

Lisa stood nearby holding two cups of coffee. She set one down gently.

“I still can’t believe that Patriarch Lockwood wants you to marry that guy.”

Amelia’s expression instantly turned colder.

“That marriage won’t happen.”

Lisa nodded immediately.

“Exactly! Only a man like Cameron is more suitable for you.”

Amelia frowned slightly when she heard Cameron’s name.

She had never liked Cameron Vance.

Although he came from a wealthy family and constantly pursued her, his methods were too obvious.

Lisa sighed helplessly.

“Amelia, stop being stubborn. You can’t deny that Cameron has helped the company a lot.”

“He only helped because he wants something in return,” Amelia replied coldly. She was not a fool.

“But he’s quite capable,” Lisa insisted. She turned to look at Amelia seriously.

"He helped Rose Corporation survive the South River crisis last month, and don’t forget the thirty million dollars he invested into the West District project. Without him, we would never have won the bid.”

Amelia remained silent, but her expression shifted slightly. She naturally remembered that matter.

If not for that money, her Rose Corporation would have struggled greatly during the acquisition phase of that project.

“Cameron invited us to dinner tonight at the Nine Dragons Pavilion. We could use this as an opportunity to thank him for his timely help.”

“Honestly speaking, compared to Cameron, that Sebastian guy is nothing.” Lisa sneered. Her voice carried obvious contempt.

Amelia’s eyes flickered slightly. Although she disliked Cameron’s persistence, she could not deny the gap between the two men.

Amelia hesitated slightly. She truly had little interest in Cameron. However, after thinking about the company’s current situation, she finally sighed softly.

“Fine.”

Lisa instantly brightened.

“That’s more like it!”

Amelia grabbed her coat coldly.

“I’m only going because of the company.”

Lisa grinned.

“That’s good enough.”

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, a black Rolls-Royce slowly approached the brightly illuminated Nine Dragons Pavilion.
