"Father." Heather's eyes were full of fear and helplessness.
Martin was at a loss for words. He didn't want to die, but he also couldn't bear to lose his daughter.
"Sebastian, maybe we can negotiate. Let us go, and just name your price—anything you want."
Sebastian thought for a moment and said, "Alright. I'll give you a chance. I want one million gold coins!"
"What? One million gold coins? Why don't you just rob a bank?" Martin nearly jumped up in anger.
Just ten thousand gold coins were enough for someone to live comfortably for a lifetime. One million gold coins was a huge sum even for him.
Sebastian sneered. "If you're unwilling to pay one million, that's fine. I can just kill your daughter, and you won't have to pay for anything."
"Fine. I'll pay!" Martin gritted his teeth, feeling as if his heart was bleeding.
Due to the large amount of gold, Sebastian only asked for gold notes.
Not long after, Martin handed Sebastian ten notes, each worth 100 thousand gold coins.
Sebastian kept his word and left after receiving the notes.
He hadn't intended to kill Martin and Heather—not because he was merciful, but because he wanted to take his time to destroy them.
After leaving Knott Estate, Sebastian followed Hendrick to the Holton Chamber of Commerce.
"Mr. Watson, I'd like to ask you for a favor," Sebastian said.
Hendrick quickly replied, "Mr. Wilder, there's no need to be so formal. Just tell me what you need."
Hendrick's respect for Sebastian had grown even deeper. Sebastian not only healed his wounds, which saved his life, but also helped him break through his cultivation bottleneck.
It was a debt that Hendrick considered a second chance at life.
Moreover, Sebastian was at least a second grade alchemist, with immeasurable strength to boot. Such a person was worth cultivating a good relationship with.
