When Sebastian arrived, Jonathan had already been rushed to a local hospital.

Devin’s body had been escorted to the funeral parlor by Jonathan’s troops as they waited for Sebastian to get here.

“Mr. Sebastian, Mr. Devin is…”

Mark, who had been waiting there all along, got to his feet when he saw Sebastian. His eyes were bloodshot and brimming with tears.

Sebastian stood as still as a log at the funeral parlor.

He wanted to say something, but when he saw the corpse that was pulled out of the mortuary freezer, his fingers quivered uncontrollably at the frost-engulfed face.

He never once thought that this man would leave him.

Devin has always stood by me, and this is how we part?

Sebastian forced his stiff limbs into motion with his eyes still affixed to the cadaver. The excruciating pain he was going through felt as if his ribs had caved in. His sorrow was so immense that he needed to gasp for air.

“Mr. Devin was trying to kill those arms dealers, and… and that cost him his life. I forewarned him about the risks.” Mark tried to explain.

“If those people could somehow know about me coming here and got their hands on me the moment I arrived, they would’ve already known about his intention of taking their lives. In other words,” Mark stalled for a brief second, “he didn’t stand a chance. Yet, he insisted that the safety of the Jadesons weighed far more than his life.”

While swallowing his tears and repeatedly recollecting himself, Mark explained what led to the demise of Devin.
