Chapter 1187 A Spoiled Man
Sebastian answered, “Scalpels are razor thin, so they only leave small injuries. Since it’s used in surgeries, it’s different from your regular knives. Look at the end of the cut. It obviously arches outward, so it has a circular blade. It’s the same kind of scalpel doctors use to remove skin and muscles.”
Devin could not believe what he was hearing. He stood beside the bodies, his mouth forming a comical ‘O.’
Since he used to be a commander of the special forces, he knew a lot of stuff most people didn’t. However, now he knew Sebastian was leagues ahead of him, and that reality was hard to accept.
We’re both from the same family. Did God bless him with two thousand IQ instead of the usual one? Man, he’s in a league of his own.
“You there? Talk to me.”
Devin snapped out of it. What Sebastian told him to remind him of a certain someone, so he asked, “Oh, right, okay. So are you saying the one who tried to save them has a scalpel? Are you trying to say Janice was the one who tried to bust them out?”
Sebastian didn’t deny it, just as Devin expected.
Oh, he didn’t deny it?
That piqued Devin’s curiosity, especially when he was reminded of another problem. “Sebastian, how did you know Alfred’s son is in The Ataraxy? If I remember correctly, you just regained consciousness back then, so how did you find out about him so quickly?”
Devin’s question was an insensitive one, and an awkward silence fell between them. It wasn’t the best question to ask, for that was the only time the undefeated Sebastian was… well, defeated.
The moment he asked that question, Devin could feel Sebastian’s frustration welling up even through the phone.
“But I got it wrong, didn’t I?”
“Yes, but just because those b*stards are more cunning than we thought they are. Who would have thought they made the switch thirty years ago? Even Alfred did not know about it, so who else could?”
He emphasized the last part so Sebastian wouldn’t fly into a rage.
They knew each other since they were teenagers, and Sebastian hated it whenever someone made him angry. Because of that, Devin knew he had to calm him down, or Sebastian would keep throwing a tantrum.
Besides, it wasn’t Sebastian’s fault. After all, everything happened thirty years ago. Sebastian was just a kid back then, so there was no way he could have seen that far back.
Even Alfred was fooled, let alone an outsider like Sebastian.
