"Mr. Guggenheim, I'll agree to your terms. Will that do?" Tears welled up in Delaney's eyes, and she closed her eyes in despair.
She was well aware of how terrifying elite disciples from the sacred ground were. Compared to that, a princess from a small royal family was nothing.
Her fate was sealed the moment Calix set his eyes on her. She was powerless against it, but if she could save Sebastian, her sacrifice wouldn't be in vain.
"Princess Delaney, don't agree to his term. With me around, there's nothing to fear." Sebastian's tone was calm with a shard of determination.
"Mr. Wilder, please stop spouting nonsense. We can't offend Mr. Guggenheim," Delaney advised sincerely and looked at Calix with pleading eyes. "Mr. Guggenheim, I apologize on his behalf. As long as you'll let him off, I'll do anything you say."
Although Calix was infuriated, he cooled down a lot when he saw how she was pleading and smiled in a wicked manner. "Whether he lives or dies depends on how happy you make me feel."
Delaney understood what he meant. Tears rolled in her eyes as she nodded. "I'll do my best."
"Great! Come here!" Calix said and grabbed her wrist, pulling her to his side. Just then, the look on his face changed. "You have a spiritual constitution!"
Upon hearing that, everyone was shocked, including Sebastian. He had been looking for a woman with a spiritual constitution, and Delaney turned out to be one.
After being stunned for a moment, Calix threw back his head and chortled. "Even the universe is on my side. Who would have thought that I'll run into two women with spiritual constitution in Windwalker Kingdom in a day?
"Once I absorb your passive energies, my cultivation will take another leap. I may even become a candidate for the next Holy Son."
The more Calix thought about it, the more excited he became and started chortling again.
"Congratulations, Mr. Guggenheim!" Damir and Mario hurriedly congratulated him with a fawning expression.
"Congratulations, Mr. Guggenheim!" Leila, Lila, Gaius, and the others echoed along and smiled indifferently.
"Release your filthy hand. Then, break one arm yourself, and I'll let you live." An icy voice boomed out of the blue, and everyone turned to Sebastian, their eyes full of shock and disbelief.
It didn't occur to anyone that he would be so bold as to say this to Calix.
Delaney was the first to snap back to her senses, berating, "Mr. Wilder, don't spout more nonsense and apologize to Mr. Guggenheim."
"You deserve death for insulting Mr. Guggenheim," Mario said coldly.
"Yes, that's a good idea." Turning to Mario, Calix instructed, "Let's do according to Leila's suggestion."
"Got it," Mario answered. His figure flickered, and he appeared before Sebastian in a flash. Then, he raised his hand to slap Sebastian.
It was a powerful slap, strong enough to crush a small hill.
"Watch out, Supreme One!" Stephanie's face was filled with worry.
Delaney was just as anxious even though she knew that Sebastian was strong. After all, Mario was an elite disciple from the sacred ground, and his strength shouldn't be underestimated.
Moreover, Damir was watching eagerly from the side, and Calix's strength was unknown.
Nevertheless, Sebastian didn't even flinch as he extended his right hand and grabbed Mario's wrist.
"What?" Stunned, Mario felt as though his wrist was held by iron pliers, and he couldn't even move an inch.
