Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover Chapter 1286

“I can fully understand now why your brother rather dies instead of handing over the position to you. It’s because you don’t deserve it!” Sebastian enunciated clearly, gritting his teeth.

Slap!

Right after he said that, a man who was standing beside his bed landed a tight slap across Sebastian’s face, causing him to see black.

The burning sensation on his face, coupled with the injury on his head made him feeble to move a muscle. There was blood in his mouth too.

“I’ll finish you off personally should you be rude to the Chairman once more.”

“Let it slide for he knows nothing. It’s normal for a man with a mental problem to spew nonsense. Restrain him here and keep an eye on him. I’ll have a chat with him when I’m back.” Then, Eddie left.

In a daze, Sebastian heard his words. He bit his tongue in order to stay conscious.

“Hang on, I’m not done with you. You haven’t told me your plans. I don’t believe that I’ll lose to you, even if… even if your men are all over Jadeborough. Mind you, the army is with the Jadesons, and so is the White House. How are you going to launch an attack? Huh?” Sebastian yelled at the top of his lungs.

He used up all of his strength, trying to wriggle free of the restraint. Instantly, both his wrists were left with blood marks. Yet, he continued to break free from the handcuffs, just to call out to Eddie. He wanted to know Eddie’s plan so badly.

Fortunately, his provocation worked. Arrogant people usually could not stand being challenged. The old man stopped in his tracks and responded with a cold laugh. “Army?”

He then continued, “What’s the use even if the Jadesons control the army? Do you actually think that the regular weapons that they use can defeat my explosives? Let me tell you a secret, the entire military base has been covered with explosives since yesterday. Activating the electrical current is all it takes to blow the base up. Do you remember how I blasted the Sheerwood residence, which is above our heads?”

There was a pin-drop silence in the room.

When Sebastian heard that, his face dropped. Discouraged, the man who had been hollering became as quiet as a mouse.

“Well, you don’t need to be anxious. If they are willing to raise the white flag, I won’t get rid of them. My goal is to make them surrender, not to kill them,” Eddie declared as if it was a noble thing to do.

Once he left, the basement was locked up with a thud, leaving only Sebastian and a man who had been assigned to watch him.

Jadeborough is screwed. The military is done for. The White House is doomed.

Feeling dejected, Sebastian lay motionless on the bed, knowing that he had lost the upper hand.
