"What the hell? This brat really has the nerve to sit down. Is he asking for trouble?"
"This brat's done for. No one can save him now."
Leila sneered and stood at the front of the crowd. She declared icily, "This loser dares to sit on the throne and impersonate the Supreme One. His offense warrants execution. As a VVIP guest of the Supreme Merchants Guild, I call upon you to execute him as a warning to others!"
"I, Trevor Berry, second that. Execute him as a warning to others!"
"The Slangzer family, agree!"
"And the MacFarlane family, second it!"
"The Blanc family stands with you!"
Emmet, Roscoe, and Gaius voiced their support.
Soon, nearly everyone present joined in to condemn Sebastian as if he had committed an unforgivable crime. Only Delaney and Deimante stayed silent.
Seeing so many people rally to her side, Leila felt a rush of triumph. She glared at Sebastian and sneered. "I have to admire your composure. Even with death at your doorstep, you remain remarkably calm."
"Who's dying first is still up for debate." A faint, knowing smile appeared on Sebastian's lips.
"Well, I'll just have to see how long your bravado holds up. Drag this loser down and beat him to a pulp!" she ordered sharply.
Since she had the golden invitation card, everyone followed her lead. At her command, a squad of security guards charged toward Sebastian, their killing intent palpable.
Deimante looked at Delaney and said, "Please save him."
But Delaney remained perfectly composed. "Ms. Sidorov, you should sit back and enjoy the show like me. It's a pipe dream for these ants to touch Mr. Wilder."
The crowd quickly bowed their heads in respect.
Stephanie was initially just a young lady from a modest family and was hardly worth a glance from the notable figures of Wonderton.
But she was now the Supreme One's assistant. Though it seemed like a lowly title, she represented him. Even the supreme great family patriarch had to show deference when they saw her.
Her eyes met Sebastian's in a silent greeting, then faced the crowd and demanded, "What's going on here?"
Gaius quickly stepped forward. "Ms. Branch, you're right on time. This brat dares to impersonate the Supreme One. We were about to execute him as a warning to others."
"Impersonate the Supreme One?" Stephanie's gaze fell thoughtfully on Sebastian.
Bryn stepped forward and said, "Ms. Branch, it's that loser sitting up there. He impersonated the Supreme One and even dared to sit on the throne. This is an unforgivable offense."
