?Chapter 319


    After taking a few steps, Sebastian stopped in his tracks and turned around. "Mr. Osborne, I hope you make a decision soon. If not, I fear your daughter might get knocked up. That''s not what you want to see, right?"


    Sebastian''s words earned him a thumbs-up from people around them. They were secretly amazed by how Sebastian openly humiliated Frederik.


    Meanwhile, Frederik was fuming after he heard Sebastian''s sarcastic remark. "Sebastian Wilder, you''re really something! Fine, I agree to give you the phoenix blood herb. Release my daughter now ande with me. I''ll hand you the herb."


    Frederik caved in because he wasn''t just losing a daughter to Sebastian - the dignity of the Osbornes was at stake. Forced to a corner, he had no choice but to agree.


    "I won''t go home with you. After we alight the ship, I''ll check into a hotel. You may go home and get the herb, or you can get someone to deliver it. I''ll only release your daughter after I get my hands on that herb." With that, Sebastian left with Yvette while Joseph and Zia followed closely behind him.


    Frederik had no choice but to watch them leave in anger.


    Meanwhile, from a hidden corner, Merlin, Elena, and Nelson observed the scene unfold.


    "Elena, I thought your n was foolproof. What went wrong?" Merlin demanded.


    "I don''t know what went wrong, but the n isn''t aplete failure, though." Elena shed them a conniving grin.


    "Do you have a follow-up n?" asked Merlin.Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Smiling, she exined, "Sebastian abducted Yvette Osborne and is demanding the phoenix blood herb as ransom. Who do you think will be the prime suspect if Sebastian turns up dead?"


    "Well, the Osbornes, of course." Merlin immediately understood her n. He added, " You''re right. Let''s secretly tail Sebastian and eliminate him when we get the chance."


    Nelson also nodded in agreement. Both Merlin and Nelson feared Sebastian more than they resented him. His extraordinary talent posed a threat they knew would only grow if they didn''t act now.


    Surprisingly, Elena merely smiled and advised, "Let''s be patient. Wouldn''t it be better to make our move after he receives the phoenix blood herb?"


    Merlin''s and Nelson''s eyes sparkled with delight. Elena was right. By killing Sebastian after he obtained the rare herb, they could secure the herb for themselves, killing two birds with one stone.


    Sebastian and the group disembarked from the ship and checked into a nearby hotel. Afterward, Sebastian retired to his room with Yvette, leaving Zia feeling uneasy.


    Zia believed she matched Yvette in terms of appearance and figure. She couldn''tprehend why Sebastian preferred to be with a random woman when she was avable.


    Meanwhile, Yvette, who had learned her lesson, immediately began drawing a bath for Sebastian. She was prepared to serve him.


    Her only motive for trying so hard to please him was to lower his guard. Then, she would find a way to escape.


    However, Sebastian saw through her intentions and never gave her the chance to flee. After all, he needed her to obtain the phoenix blood herb from the Osbornes.


    This spiritual herb was more valuable than century-old dragon root and would greatly enhance the effectiveness of Essence Nourishing Pills.


    By the second day, Yvette had not found a chance to escape, which infuriated her. As night fell, she let out a long sigh, resigned to the fact that she would be at Sebastian''s mercy once again.


    Seeing Sebastian in bed, she prepared to take off her clothes. It was then they heard a knock on the door.


    "Mr. Wilder, Mr. Osborne is here."
