Chapter 370
Lillian, without suspicion, followed Lord Frostclaw out of Misty Oak Villa.
However, as they were about to leave Misty Oak Villa, Lillian suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"Ms. Smith, why are you stopping? The Supreme One is waiting for you. Let's hurry over. He'll be anxious if we delay," Lord Frostclaw urged.
"Lord Frostclaw, did the Supreme One really ask you to bring me?" Lillian voiced a hint of suspicion.
"Of course! You're the Supreme One's woman. If he didn't command it, how would I dare fetch you? Surely you don't doubt me?" Lord Frostclaw replied.
"No, that's not what I mean. It's just that the Supreme One repeatedly warned me not to leave Misty Oak Villa. Maybe I should call him to confirm," Lillian suggested.
Lord Frostclaw was taken aback. "Ms. Smith, I don't think you should make that call. The Supreme One is currently researching a treasure. Let's not disturb him."
"Lord Frostclaw, it's not that I don't trust you. If the Supreme One doesn't personally tell me to go out, I cannot leave. I hope you understand," Lillian insisted, preparing to return. Suddenly panicking, Lord Frostclaw swiftly knocked her unconscious with a single blow. "Lord Frostclaw! Why did you knock out Ms. Smith?" Two guards at the door were startled and quickly drew their weapons, watching Lord Frostclaw warily.
Lord Frostclaw snorted coldly before he delivered a kick to one guard's head and a slap to the other.
Both guards immediately collapsed. They fell unconscious before they could even cry out.
The gap in strength was too vast.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Afterward, Lord Frostclaw placed Lillian into a vehicle and drove away swiftly.
The masked man was furious when Sebastian didn't head toward the buried explosives. But just as Sebastian seemed about to retreat, he immediately gave the command to detonate the explosives.
Clenched fists were the signal.
Seeing this, the people lying in ambush on the surrounding mountains instantly pressed the detonation buttons.
With a loud bang, a terrifying energy erupted from underground. A large amount of soil was thrown into the air, and smoke and dust filled the sky, enveloping the entire area in darkness.
The nearby lake water was violently disturbed. It erupted in a geyser of spray.
The surrounding mountains shook, and countless rocks tumbled, startling numerous birds in the forest.
The force of dozens of pounds of explosives was incredibly immense, capable of leveling a large building to the ground.
However, Sebastian was well-prepared.
At the moment of the explosion, he dashed forward like a cheetah.
But due to the speed of the shockwave, he was caught up just over 30 feet into his sprint, instantly throwing him over 40 feet away before crashing to the ground, motionless.
At the same time, the masked man's small boat disintegrated instantly into fragments. However, the masked man was prepared and had already dived into the water beforehand. After the shockwave passed, the masked man emerged from the water and swam to the shore. At a glance, he saw Sebastian lying unconscious not far away on the ground.
Out of caution, he did not approach but waited for his companions from the mountainside to come down.
Two minutes later, more than a dozen people hurried over, led by none other than Yvette. "Elder Ezekiel, is that guy dead?" Yvette asked the masked man.
"With over 66 pounds of explosives so close to him, he's probably as good as dead," Ezekiel Osborne replied.
This person was none other than the second elder of the Osborne family. The rest were all skilled members of the Osborne family, including four grandmasters and the remaining pinnacle warriors.
"You! Go check!" Yvette pointed to one of the warriors. She, too, was cautious.
While the chosen man was nervous, he didn't dare disobey Yvette's command.
Carefully, he approached Sebastian.
Fortunately, nothing dangerous happened.
After reaching Sebastian's side, he cautiously kicked him, checked for any response, and finally confirmed, "Ms. Osborne, he's dead."
"The bastard finally kicked the bucket. But to think he died just like that in an explosion-he got off easy."
