The Indomitable War God

Chapter 7

Sebastian walked calmly into the Nine Dragons Pavilion with his hands tucked into his coat pockets.

The luxurious lobby was bustling with activity as managers worked meticulously, the atmosphere noticeably tense. It was as though they were waiting for the arrival of someone important.

However, Sebastian paid none of it any attention. He simply walked toward the reception desk.

The pretty receptionist smiled politely. “Good evening, sir. How may I—”

“What the hell! You again?!”

A sharp female voice suddenly cut through the lobby. Several guests who were nearby immediately turned their attention to the commotion.

Sebastian frowned slightly before turning around.

Lisa was already storming towards him in her high heels, her face filled with anger and disbelief. Amelia and Cameron were right behind her, following her at a slower pace.

“You creep!” she snapped furiously. “Why do you keep following us around everywhere?!”

Sebastian took a deep breath, his patience thinning.

“I’m not following you around.” Sebastian replied in irritation.

“Then why are you here?!” Lisa spat back.

“That’s none of your business.” Sebastian replied coldly.

Amelia folded her arms, her cold blue eyes fixed on Sebastian.

“Enough with the act,” she said frostily. “Cloud City isn’t that small. Are you really stalking us?”

“I could ask you the same thing.” Sebastian scoffed. “This is the second time I’ve run into you two today. Are you stalking me?”

“You—!” Amelia blushed angrily. She had never met such an ignorant yet insufferable person before!

She was the CEO of Rose Corporation, a multi-million-dollar company! Why would she need to stalk a mere soldier?!

“Me what?” Sebastian mocked.

Amelia’s face darkened, but before she could continue, Cameron suddenly stepped forward with an arrogant expression on his face.

“Who allowed a rat like you to step inside this building?” Cameron asked coldly as he glared at Sebastian. His eyes swept over Sebastian’s plain military uniform with disgust.

From how plain his uniform looked, it was clear that he didn’t have a good time in the military.

Sebastian narrowed his eyes slightly. “And you are?”

“This is Cameron. He’s on a completely different level when compared to a peasant like you."

"The difference between you and him is like the difference between heaven and earth.” Lisa answered disdainfully.

Sebastian scoffed inwardly at her statement. If she knew his real identity, she would know how laughable what she said was.

“I don’t care who he is. He’s just an ant to me.” Sebastian said.

Cameron’s expression instantly darkened.

“What did you just say?” he asked coldly.

“You heard me.” Sebastian replied indifferently.

“I’ve never seen such an ignorant fool before. This is definitely a surprise. Amelia, how did you even come across this trash?” Cameron laughed angrily.

Sebastian glanced at Amelia briefly, then spoke before she could answer.

“She's my fiancée.”

The atmosphere turned frigid instantly, and Amelia’s beautiful face flushed red with anger.

“Don’t talk nonsense!” she snapped immediately. “That engagement means nothing! I’ll speak to Grandpa and get it cancelled no matter what!”

However, Cameron’s expression had already turned ugly. He narrowed his eyes slightly, his hands curling into fists.

Fiancé? This lowly soldier was Amelia’s fiancé?

Although he had heard rumors about the Lockwood family arranging a marriage for Amelia, he never expected it to be true. Even worse, her fiancé was actually some nobody.

A lowly soldier to boot!

“So you’re the trash the Lockwood family picked for Amelia?” Cameron sneered. “You’re not even qualified to polish my shoes. How dare you shamelessly call yourself her fiancé?”

“He’s just a shameless stalker and pretentious fool.” Lisa added mockingly. “He probably saw Amelia’s beauty and decided to cling to her.”

Sebastian’s expression turned cold. Cameron stepped closer and looked Sebastian up and down disdainfully.

“Listen carefully,” he said arrogantly. “A place like Nine Dragons Pavilion isn’t somewhere a lowly soldier like you can enter. You’ll fit right in standing outside as a security guard instead.”

Before Sebastian could reply, a waiter hurried over after noticing the commotion.

“Young Master Cameron, is there a problem?” the waiter, Simon, asked fawningly.

Cameron immediately pointed at Sebastian with a disgusted look.

“This rat wandered in here and is disturbing the peace of this place. Throw him out.” Cameron ordered coldly.

The waiter immediately turned toward Sebastian. He noticed his plain appearance and saw that he looked completely ordinary. His polite expression disappeared immediately.

“This isn’t a place that trash like you should be causing trouble,” he said coldly. “Please leave immediately.”

“And why exactly should I leave?” Sebastian asked coldly.

“That’s because trash like you are not welcome here. People like you only lower the standards of this establishment."

"You better leave while I’m being nice. If the security gets here, I’ll have you beaten up before throwing you out!” Simon replied contemptuously.

The commotion caused had already drawn the attention of everyone in the lobby, and they immediately started gossiping.

“Who let him in?” a middle-aged man in an expensive suit glanced at Sebastian’s plain appearance in disgust.

“Hah, look at his clothes,” someone else chimed in. “Can he even afford a glass of water here?”

"Hmph. He’s probably one of those trash that wandered in without knowing his place.” A woman adorned with diamond jewellery said scornfully.

The mocking whispers grew louder and louder, with several people looking at Sebastian with great contempt.

“This place isn’t somewhere trash like you can enter casually.” Cameron glanced around the magnificent lobby.

“The lowest annual spending requirement here starts from hundreds of thousands of dollars. The third floor alone requires connections most people can’t imagine.”

“How can a mere soldier like you ever afford to even step foot inside here?” He sneered.

Cameron stepped closer to Sebastian.

“Let me give you some important advice. A very important guest invited personally by Isaac Rutherford will be arriving tonight.” Cameron smiled coldly.

“If you offend someone like that by causing trouble here, nobody in Cloud City will be able to save you.”

“Sebastian, you better save yourself the trouble and leave now. Don’t even expect my grandpa to clean up your mess. Not even he will be able to save you if you keep causing trouble here," Amelia said coldly.

Sebastian stared at them calmly and then replied with a cold smile. His reply carried a hint of nonchalance and unhurried composure.

“Oh really? But what if I say the ones in trouble might be you instead?”
