He was shaking.
Sebastian was shaking wildly beyond control right now!
Usually, the appearance of even just a single one of the bigwigs in front of him at the moment would definitely have caused a sensation in Los Angeles, but there were a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand of them here now!
All of them had come for Heller!
All of them were saluting him!
This completely went against everything that Sebastian knew!
Of course, the one whom Sebastian was truly terrified of was naturally still Heller!
Heller was holding a sword—the Hades Sword!
In this world, there was one man who could use the Hades Swords!
“Impossible! This is impossible!”
Astounded, Sebastian yelled frantically, “Heller Nicholson! You’re Heller Nicholson! You’re just a down-and-out survivor of the Nicholsons! How can you possibly be the master of the Hades Swords?! This is absolutely impossible!”
“This isn’t real! None of this is real!”
“The Hades Swords are fake, and all these people around you must be actors!”
“Do you think this will scare me, Heller?!”
“I don’t believe it! I’ll never believe that you’re really the master of the Hades Swords!”
At this point, Nathan Levin, the Commander of the South, led a large number of elites under his command over!
The Commander of the South had 100,000 soldiers under his command and oversaw the southern borders! He was the overlord of the south!
Sebastian’s eyes lit up. As though he had seen his savior, he quickly rushed forward and shouted, “Commander! You’re here at the right time!”
“Someone is pretending to be the master of the Hades Swords!”
Sebastian pointed at Heller and said sharply, “He’s the one! He’s the one masquerading as the master of the Hades Swords!”
Nathan glanced at Sebastian coldly as if he were looking at a dead man. “Do you know that pretending to be the master of the Hades Swords is a crime punishable by death?”
Sebastian, who didn’t realize the meaning behind Nathan’s words, replied sinisterly, “That’s right, it’s a crime punishable by death! Commander, please punish and kill that criminal and bring justice back to the Hades Swords!”
How foolish!
Nathan didn’t pay any more attention to Sebastian. Instead, he walked over to Heller at the fastest speed he could.
Sebastian said excitedly, “Heller, you’re doomed! Did you think you were set for victory just because you pretended to be the master of the Hades Swords? I bet you didn’t expect that this huge commotion you caused would attract Commander Levin’s attention! With the Commander around today, let’s see how you’re gonna die!”
Sebastian naively thought that Commander Levin would definitely expose Heller’s schemes and immediately kill him.
However, what happened next instead made his eyes widen!
Nathan walked up to Heller, but instead of attacking him, he saluted and said seriously, “Nathan Levin, the Commander of the South, has come, Mr. Nicholson!”
The look on Sebastian’s face instantly froze, and he felt icy-cold all over as if someone had doused him in cold water!
If…
If Sebastian had been hoping for the best prior to Nathan’s arrival, then the fact that Nathan was saluting Heller now was tantamount to him acknowledging Heller’s identity. In addition, it also indirectly declared Sebastian’s death sentence!
A disbelieving Sebastian blurted out, “That’s impossible! It’s impossible! I don’t believe this! This isn’t real! All of this isn’t real!”
“As per orders from above,” Nathan said solemnly, “According to Sir Wilson’s orders, I will act with full cooperation with Mr. Nicholson! In case of resistance, show no mercy!”
After he spoke, Nathan gave a grand wave!
The next moment, all the elites under his command surrounded the Zoffs and raised their guns!
Since he refused to believe it, then he would let facts speak for themselves!
Sebastian turned pale at once.
The Zoffs shook in their boots, completely unable to even entertain any thoughts of resistance!
No matter how powerful the Zoffs were, they were just local tyrants and were only able to do as they pleased in Los Angeles.
However, Nathan was the commander-in-chief who oversaw the entire southern border! The Zoffs were no match for Nathan and his troops at all!
Moreover, there were also countless powerhouses from all walks of life in the outer periphery. Heller only needed to say the word and they would slaughter all the Zoffs in a mere instant, leaving no survivors behind!
Sebastian stared at Heller. His voice shook as he stammered, “A-are you really the master of the Hades Swords?”
Heller’s gaze swept across the place. Then, with nary any expression on his face, he replied, “The Hades Swords bid everyone here good day!”
Everyone was astounded, and the whole place plunged into silence!
He… really was the legendary Hades!
A terrified Sebastian trembled all over. His voice was sharp as he asked, “Are you the one who lit the smoke signals? How dare you?!”
Heller replied indifferently, “Weren’t you the one who told me to gather my men?”
“That’s right, I hung up the black sword and ordered the smoke signals lit. Weren’t you intending to kill me, Sebastian? Weren’t you intending to kill my wife and my daughter in front of me?”
Now, my men have come!
Do you have the courage to do it?
Sebastian, who was filled with mixed feelings at the moment, had a bitter look all over his face.
A moment ago, when Tyler learned that the Hades Swords had appeared, Sebastian had even given a clear order forbidding the Zoffs from getting into a conflict with the master of the Hades Swords. In fact, he had even wanted to make every effort to befriend him.
But in the end, he instead found out that the master of the Hades Swords was Heller!
That was what he said, yet he didn’t even recognize the man when he was standing right in front of him! How laughable!
To be honest, Sebastian actually still had a final trump card—he had a gun in his hand and Heller was standing very close to him. They were less than three meters apart!
If he were to open fire at this distance, Sebastian was very confident that he could bring Heller down with him!
He held the gun, his palms were sweaty, his knees were weak and his arms were heavy. But he simply didn’t have the courage to shoot!
It was as if there was a voice telling him that it would be useless even if he shot him!
Heller looked at Sebastian and said dispassionately, “Fire away! Sebastian, you’re after all a man well-known in L.A.! If you don’t shoot today, you’ll never give up!”
Heller pointed to his head. “Come on, aim your gun here and shoot me! Come on, shoot me!”
Sebastian’s eyelids twitched wildly!
As a hero of a time, all the fear, repression, and grievance in his heart finally turned into a wave of balefulness!
He had held a knife, touched a gun, seen blood, and killed before. He wasn’t a chicken; he was the overlord of Los Angeles! How could he be willing to give up like this?
Even if he had to die, he would go out with a bang and leave his name in history!
His arm whipped up. He aimed the gun at Heller and brazenly squeezed the trigger!
Boom!
He had ultimately still fired at Heller in the end!
The gunshot almost exhausted all of Sebastian’s mental strength. After he fired, he fell onto his bottom on the ground and stared hard at Heller. His mind was completely blank!
Heller leisurely raised the black Hades Sword he was holding!
Clink!
The yellow-orange bullet ricocheted off Heller’s sword!
Dead silence filled the place!
Heller looked calm and leisurely as if he had only done something trivial that wasn’t even worth mentioning.
Sebastian’s complexion was ashen and he felt weak all over.
However, it didn’t take long before he quickly got up again. This time, though, he didn’t try to shoot Heller again. Instead, he tossed away the gun in his hand!
Then, Sebastian got down on his knees in front of Heller with a thud. His voice shook as he said, “I admit defeat! I give up! I surrender!”
Heller stepped forward. He raised the black Hades Sword in his hand, slowly tapped Sebastian’s wrinkled face with it, and uttered, “You’re not allowed to surrender!”
Heller raised the sword lightly. The blade flashed in the light and then, the black Hades Sword severed Sebastian’s entire right arm!
