“Mr. Hayes, you're finally here. Kurt...”

A long silence ensued.

After entering the ward, Sebastian's hawk eye had never left Kurt.

This is definitely abnormal. No matter how incredible a human body is, its metabolism rate and ability to regrow

new cells can never achieve full recovery within an hour. It's a long process which needs at least six months.

Sebastian's gaze was fixated on him.

He could tell that Kurt also sensed danger in the air from the moment he entered the ward.

Suddenly, the patient lifted his head, revealing a pale face which was covered with cold sweat. His eyes looked very

ferocious, like a beast ready to devour its prey.

A beast?

A foreboding feeling crept into Sebastian's heart.

Hiss!

Just as he had suspected, two seconds later, Kurt leaped from his bed and pounced on Sebastian. His swift action

left the SteelFort members gaping.

“Are you out of your mind, Kurt? How dare you lay a finger on Mr. Hayes?”

Upon realizing what had happened, they strode forward and blocked him.

At that moment, Kurt had turned into a monster. Seeing that the others were trying to hold him back, he quickly

changed his move and struck the elites from SteelFort instead.

Thump!

In a split second, his one move sent them flying.

Easily bested by Kurt, they knew he had now become second to Karl in his combat prowess.

In fact, Karl was not his match at times.

Sebastian's expression darkened. He took a step back and instructed two doctors to prepare to sedate Kurt. Then,

he tossed a dumbfounded Grayson out of the ward.

Thereafter, Kurt defeated another man from SteelFort.

Soon, Sebastian became the last man standing in the room.

“Mr. Hayes...”

Ignoring his subordinate's warning, he stood rooted to the ground and watched Kurt close in on him.

“Are you sure you want to kill me? What's in it for you if I die? Are you doing it for the adrenaline only? Or you're

releasing your anger and hatred. I guess it's the latter, right?”

He did it in a very casual way as if he was just chit-chatting with Kurt.

Stopped in his tracks, the patient glared at Sebastian.

His bloodshot eyes hinted at how much resentment he had in him. They strongly felt his malicious intention to tear

the man in front of him into a million pieces.

But why is that so? There's no rivalry between us. Where does his hatred come from? It turned him into a totally

different person, ready to release his wrath? What is actually going on?

Sebastian sank into deep thought.

Meanwhile, the nurse had gotten a dose of sedative ready outside the ward.

An individual appeared behind the nurse and loaded it into a tranquilizer gun.

Pftt!

A soft sound was heard when he shot at the enraged Kurt.

In just a moment, they saw Kurt wobbling, and he finally collapsed to the ground.

“Oh my heart, what sorcery is this? There's actually something more effective than what I've invented? I do want to

take a look at this stuff.”

Xayden snatched the tranquilizer gun away as he cussed and exited the ward.

Sebastian and the other members from Steelfort just let him be.

When everything settled down, it was already dawn.

Upon researching, Xayden came up with a conclusion.

“It's a type of worm that caused him to be like this. I can't brain this mystifying phenomenon.”

Fine, you might as well say nothing. Makes no difference anyway.

Regardless, his words gave Sebastian a direction to investigate into.

On the hand, Vivian also rushed to the hospital with Nina in the morning after she heard the news.

“Daddy, how... how is he?”

“He's fine. Don't worry too much.”

Sebastian did not want her to overthink things, hence he gave her a superficial response.

However, Nina could sense something was amiss even though he kept a tight lip about it.

She looked through the glass panel and noticed three prominent black lines at the back of her brother's ears.

Instantly, she trembled with fear and started crying uncontrollably.

“Nina?”

Sebastian realized that something was wrong.

After what felt like an eternity of silence, Nina turned around and gazed at him with her tear-streaked face.

“Is my brother dying?”

“What are you talking about?” Sebastian's face fell.

If a random person in the hospital had mentioned anything to him about Kurt's life and death, he would never listen

to any of it, let alone take it with a pinch of salt.

However, the person speaking to him right now came from the same place as Kurt. In fact, she was his blood kin.

With Nina asking such a terrifying question, Sebastian could no longer be at ease. He looked her in the eyes

solemnly.

“What makes you say that?”

“My brother has been cursed, hasn't he? The witch said before that those who have been cursed will not live for

long. It was the same to those who died in Black Marsh,” she said while bawling her eyes out.

She pointed two fingers are her unconscious brother.

Sebastian said nothing further.

In the end, he had also discovered the massive secret hidden behind Kurt's ears.
