Chapter 483 Hugo was furious upon seeing Sebastian. "So, you finally decided to cout, huh? I thought you're going to be a coward." Sebastian said coldly, "You're just a loser I've already beaten. Who gave the dog the nerve to chere and bark at my door?" Hugo was livid. "Did you just calla dog?" Sebastian replied, "When you're howling like a mutt in the morning, you're nothing but a dog." The Strauss family burst into laughter, doubling over and unable to stop.
"You're asking for trouble!" Hugo was seething with rage.

Today, I'm going to crush you in front of everyone and make sure you're publicly disgraced and never live this down!" Sebastian smiled wryly. "In just two days, your bragging talent has improved." Everyone burst into laughter again. This time, it wasn't just the Strauss family. The Claude family joined in, and even smembers of the Lorence family couldn't help but chuckle.
Hugo scowled. "I'm done with the small talk. I'm officially challenging you to a duel. Are you man enough to accept it?" Sebastian shook his head.
His refusal to accept the challenge stunned the crowd and left the Strauss family uneasy. The Lorence family quickly took advantage of the situation, mocking and ridiculing him.
"A lackey's always going to be a lackey-timid and weak. Mr. Hugo wasn't at his best a few days ago, which is why that lackey managed to win. But now that Mr. Hugo's back in top form, look how quickly that lackey's backing down. What a pathetic coward." "Exactly. A real man stands tall and fights, no matter how tough the opponent. He can't even summon the guts to take on a challenge? What a coward!" The jeers and taunts were endless.
Hugo laughed scornfully. "I expected you to be a worthy opponent despite being a lackey, but it seems that you're just a coward. If you're too scared to takeon, then grovel at my feet and beg for mercy. Do that, and maybe I'll let you off the hook!" "Get down on your knees!" "Hurry up and do it now!" The Lorence family erupted in a cacophony of jeers and scorn.
Everyone expected Sebastian to be embarrassed, but he remained composed. He said slowly, "I'm not refusing your challenge out of fear. It's because I don't think you're worthy to be my opponent." His words instantly silenced the mockery and were replaced by a chorus of angry shouts.

Clearly, he's scared of Mr. Hugo and is using excuses to avoid the duel." The crowd nodded in agreement. Even the Strauss family members shared the sopinion.
Although Sebastian had easily defeated Hugo two days ago, Hugo's challenge now seemed justified.
Hugo's breakthrough had massively increased his strength, and it put him at least on Sebastian's level. Hence, he had the right to issue the challenge.
Hugo was seething with rage and sneered. "Anyone can boast. If you're so confident, then laccept my challenge. Let's settle this once and for all on the Destiny Stage." "What? The Destiny Stage?"
The crowd was thrown into a frenzy. They had anticipated a regular m challenge, but Hugo demanded a life-or-death duel on the Destiny Stage, where only one would survive. Seeing Sebastian's silence, Hugo taunted, "What's wrong? Scared? If you are, then just grovel and beg for mercy." Sebastian sighed and said helplessly, "Since you want to die, I will fulfill your wish. Let's head to the Destiny Stage."
