Zeke was nothing in front of Cillian, and he had no right to speak at all. He could only watch as events unfolded.Besides, he was the one who had recommended Sebastian. If there was something wrong with Sebastian, Zeke would be implicated as well.Even if he said anything, it would be of no use."Please give us all your silver needles!" the man in the suit, Gavin Horner, commanded."What if I don't?" Sebastian's tone was equally icy."Take out evidence to show that you're a doctor. Otherwise, you'll die!" Gavin's voice was devoid of warmth.Sebastian laughed out of sheer anger. Show evidence that he was a doctor?Marius watched Sebastian's conflict with the guards eagerly. He hoped that Sebastian would attack Gavin first, so that the latter would shoot Sebastian dead on the spot. Sebastian turned and said in resignation, "I'm sorry. I don't have a medical license, Mr. Fisher."Zeke got up quickly and said to Cillian, "Mr. Shields Senior, his medical license is still being in
Gavin still maintained a five-step distance from Sebastian. It was a distance from which he could both attack and defend."Mr. Shields Senior, I have no hostility toward you, but your people are not treating me very kindly." Sebastian had no choice but to ask Cillian for help. He really didn't want to injure his men."Young man, they may be my subordinates, but I need to cooperate with them to maintain my safety. I don't want them to hurt you, and I don't want you to hurt them, either," Cillian said. Cillian was in a difficult position. He had a special identity, and since the country had sent these guards to keep him safe, he had to cooperate fully."I really don't want to do so. Can you please give me a chance to explain?" Sebastian sighed exasperatedly. The only thing he could do now was to explain things clearly."Yes. Stay where you are and speak." Gavin looked warily at Sebastian. Although Sebastian hadn't attacked, he could sense that Sebastian was very dangerous."Mr. Sh
Sebastian smiled calmly and said, "Are there only three techniques in modern medicine? Physical examinations, administering drips, and operations? You should know that you're treating a human being, not a piece of meat.""You've never even been to medical school! Stop talking nonsense!" Marius yelled, pointing angrily at Sebastian."Stop arguing." Cillian stood with his hands behind his back and walked over to Sebastian. Several men in suits tried to stop him, but Cillian waved at them and gestured for them not to be impulsive. "Young man, I thank you for your concern. However, you know that paralysis would be worse than death to me." There was a determined look in Cillian's eyes. He had already made up his mind to try. "I don't have the needle." Sebastian spread his hands in resignation. A needle like that couldn't be bought in Steinberg at all."I do!" Alexander took out his medical box and retrieved a needle pouch from inside. It had been wrapped with a yellow cloth, and he
Sebastian didn't seem to hear Alexander at all. He closed his eyes slightly and began to fiddle with the needle with the tips of his fingers.In the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed, and Sebastian's clothes were drenched in sweat. If he hadn't been practicing hard on his training, he would have found it difficult to get to that point.Using ancient energy took a huge toll on the person applying the needles. Every single second required the support of the user's vital energy."We can't let him keep going! Mr. Shields Senior has gone pale!" Marius suddenly yelled. Sebastian had been focusing completely on using his vital energy to apply the needles. Marius' shout distracted him, and his emotions were stirred into turmoil.He felt a sickly sweet taste at the back of his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood."You're despicable!" Alexander and Aaron could tell that Marius had done it on purpose.The suited men turned to look at Marius in surprise when they saw that Sebast
Several suited men ran over to help carry Sebastian onto the sofa."How do you feel, Mr. Shields Senior?" Zeke gave Cillian a towel."I feel much better! I feel as if I'm 20 years younger!" Cillian stood up excitedly and took the towel. "What's happened to Sebastian?" Cillian asked in confusion when he saw that the front of Sebastian's shirt was covered in blood and that he looked ashen."Mr. Shields Senior, that's all thanks to Marius!" Liam exclaimed angrily."Shut up!" Wyatt glared at his grandson."What's going on?" Cillian asked coldly. His eyes widened, and his expression grew thunderous. "Mr. Shields Senior, Dr. Chesney really is a genius." As soon as Zeke spoke, the Depps and several suited men glared angrily at him."Huh? What do you mean?" Cillian asked, frowning."Mr. Ballard used a technique called an ancient energy needle. I've heard that if the needle is plucked out during the process, or if anything happens to the person using the needle, the patient is sure t
"This is a book on traditional medicine. You'd better keep hold of it, because your life depends on it," Gavin said. He grabbed Marius by the collar and dragged him down the stairs.Sebastian was drifting in and out of consciousness when he felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen. He opened his eyes, but all he could feel was an aching numbness in his body. He couldn't move at all."Sebastian!""Sebastian!""Young man!" Cillian, the Depps, and the Holmans immediately crowded around him in concern when they saw that Sebastian was awake.Liam had already run swiftly off to the office building ahead of them, while Zeke had called the best hospital in Sunway."How do you feel?" Alexander asked in concern."I'm alright, just a little tired." Sebastian wasn't afraid that they would worry. He really did feel rather exhausted.After coughing up the blood several times, Sebastian felt as if he had made a breakthrough in his training, which had been at a bottleneck for some time now.Per
"Leave it to us, miss." Two of the men in suits carefully helped Sebastian up to the lounge on the second floor. They put him on the bed before turning to leave."You silly thing. You almost scared me to death!" Rosalie pummeled Sebastian's chest lightly. Liam had called her in a panic and told her about Sebastian coughing up blood. She had almost fainted on the spot."Perhaps I'm just too tired. I want to sleep for a while," Sebastian said, smiling tiredly. "Go ahead. Take your clothes off and I'll wash them for you."Sebastian nodded, smiling. He took off his bloodstained shirt with difficulty and handed it to Rosalie. Before she could say anything, he fell deeply asleep.…Meanwhile, Cillian was pacing up and down the hall. He was obviously still angry about Marius."People like him should be shot dead!" he yelled angrily, getting angrier as he spoke. Finally, he slammed the table hard."Mr. Shields Senior, he's your personal doctor. In those circumstances, we…" Gavin hun
Although Cillian was now old, he had been among the best in the army in his younger years.Every punch, kick, and dodge that Sebastian had made had been perfect. Cillian had been able to see that at once."That may be so, but I—""He is very young and very dangerous." Cillian said meaningfully, "Young people can be impulsive, and I am worried that he'll make an unforgivable mistake. Do you understand?"Gavin finally understood. He now knew that Cillian wanted to take care of Sebastian, who was an amazing talent.With Sebastian's skills, he would either stay completely out of trouble or end up making a disastrous mistake."Yes! I assure you that I will complete my mission!" Gavin saluted Cillian."Zeke!""Yes, Mr. Shields Senior!""I remember you telling me that this young man was very skilled in medicine. You must take care to nurture his abilities, but make sure not to spoil him.""I assure you that I will complete my mission!" Zeke promised, just as Gavin had.Cillian nodd
Lucius panicked at once. His clones couldn't make different moves, but Sebastian's attacks were all coming from different directions. How could he dodge them?A bolt of blue light slashed down on the head of one of Lucius' clones. He dodged to the side quickly while leaping up to dodge the other five swords. However, before he could land, he spat out a mouthful of blood.Although his original form had escaped from harm, his clones had been killed immediately. Although they were only his clones, they were very closely connected to his true form because of how truncated his Cloning Technique was compared to the original. That was why the backlash was particularly strong when his clones were killed."Just one move and both are already dead? Your Cloning Technique really isn't much!"Sebastian's 18 clones had surrounded the severely injured Lucius and were covering over a dozen different directions."How could this be? How could you have such an orthodox Cloning Spell passed dow
"How is that possible?"Lucius looked as if he was in disbelief when he saw that Sebastian had cut through the coal-black silk threads so easily. Sebastian appeared in front of him in an instant, and he raised Purity to slash at him.Right at the moment when the sword energy was about to touch Lucius' clothes, the air around them seemed to ripple violently. Lucius shot backward several feet as if he were a phantom, and he dodged Sebastian's attack."You're truly extraordinary!"There was a gleam in Lucius' dark eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to blur out of sight before splitting into three identical figures! Even the coal-black knife in his hand was exactly the same. "You didn't expect that, did you, young man? That's our lord's secret cloning technique!" Violet laughed triumphantly. Sebastian now had to fight against three on his own, which would be certain to end in his death. So what if he could break through the binding of the coal-black silk threads?
The handsome youth's name was Lucius Vipera. He grinned evilly and said, "You're the first person who's had the guts to insult me. You will pay!""My lord!"Violet hastily bowed to Lucius, too afraid to even look up at him.Lucius ignored her and strode toward Sebastian."Young man, you are extraordinary. To have accomplished so much in your 20s isn't an easy feat. If you apologize to the Berkeleys and promise to never oppose us again, I can consider letting you go today!" he said coldly in a manner that brooked no argument. Sebastian scoffed and shook his head as he said disdainfully, "You're not also planning to make me grovel to you in apology, are you?"While they all looked on in shock, Sebastian seemed to flicker out of focus, leaving behind a line of shadows as he rushed toward Lucius.Lucius narrowed his eyes and huffed coldly. "With your paltry skills, are you really going to—"Before he could finish, Sebastian's slap landed. There was a cold flash, which Lucius has
"Violet!" Candy stared at Violet in terror, because the latter now looked frightening. The flesh and skin on her face were peeling off, and pale white bone was already showing on her chin.It wouldn't take long before she became a living skeleton.Violet glanced at her hands, of which only bone was left. There was a look of shock in her eyes, but she still had another trick up her sleeve.As she cackled sinisterly, her body began recovering rapidly. All her skin was growing back, and the new flesh and skin that grew was as smooth as that of a baby's."Young man, do you really think that I would have no way to break that spell?" Violet looked at her newly grown skin and flesh and laughed triumphantly. Sebastian waggled a finger slightly and asked, "Break it? It's not that easy. That was just the beginning!"As soon as he finished, he moved in a flash and leaped down from the roof. All Violet saw was a shadow flashing past her.There was a series of resounding slaps, and Violet f
At the same time, clouds of dark energy flowed toward Sebastian and enveloped him.He felt a strong, restrictive power enveloped him, which made it hard to even lift a finger.It was a mystic spell unique to Violet. Anyone enveloped by the dark energy would have no choice but to stand still and wait for death to come, no matter how powerful they were. A mystic spell like that was similar to the one Sebastian had just displayed, but it was much more bizarre and harder to detect. Countless experts in the mystic spells had died from Violet's move. In the end, she had sucked up all their blood essence, and they had become nutrition for her.That was why she was sure that Sebastian would suffer the same fate. "Young man, are you unable to speak now?" Violet taunted as she circled Sebastian. She now felt that Sebastian was like a lamb to the slaughter—she could do with him as she pleased.However, she didn't want to let him die too quickly. He had committed an unforgivable sin in
The dark green liquid was venom!Sebastian hastily leaped onto the roof of a villa to dodge the attack."Hey, you old hag! Aren't you afraid that you'll end up without any descendants if you treat your granddaughter-in-law like that?" Sebastian questioned mockingly. Violet wasn't angry at all. She laughed instead and said, "Ballard, your reverse psychology won't work on me. Let's see how you kill her!"She cackled again.Human life meant nothing to her, and Candy was just a puppet that the Berkeleys had found. They only wanted to use her body to raise the snake curse until it took over her body completely, after which she could give birth to a true snake spirit baby for them!"Don't regret it, you old hag!"Sebastian suddenly raised his hand, and a strong force immediately weighed down heavily on them."Restrain!"He pressed his palms down in the air as he spoke."Restrain?" A smile had just begun to flash across Violet's face, but then her expression stiffened.The stron
Sebastian looked up at the shadowy figures, among which there were children. They were probably the Flemin Village inhabitants who had disappeared without a trace overnight 30 years ago!"Not only did you commit murder, you even wanted to imprison them here forever! You're unbelievably cruel! Also, what kind of grudge does your family have against that young woman?" Sebastian asked accusingly as he pointed at Candy.Although Candy had been hostile toward Sebastian from the beginning, he knew that it wasn't out of her own will. It was the will of the snake that had merged with her soul. "You are far too nosy, young man. How do you know the young woman doesn't want to become part of our family? Perhaps she's thrilled at the very thought right now!" Violet cackled. Sebastian took a deep breath. He looked at the shadowy figures around him and at Candy, who was standing at the window."I'll give you one chance," he said. "Let them all go and remove the snake curse from that young wom
Sebastian let out a turbid breath. He could feel that his strength was much stronger than before. He still wasn't in peak condition, but it was still wonderful news to him. At least he had now restored more than half his powers. Sebastian had just gotten up and stretched when he heard a series of knocks on the door."Mr. Ballard, time to eat!" Scott said tentatively. He was terrified of disturbing him.Sebastian answered, "I'll be out soon!"When Scott saw Sebastian, he realized that the latter no longer looked as pale as he had at first, and there was a slight rosy tinge to his complexion. He smiled and said, "Mr. Ballard, you're looking pretty good today!"Sebastian only smiled impassively but didn't respond. They returned to the Martial Arts Court building, where a large platter of meat had already been placed on the table for Sebastian."Mr. Ballard, we don't have much to eat here. Apart from game, all we have is beef. I was afraid that you wouldn't be accustomed to it,
Perhaps the tiger's instincts had alerted it to the feeling of danger. "Bind!"Just as the tiger turned to escape into the forest, Sebastian gave a curt command. In an instant, an invisible pressure bound the tiger tightly where it was. The tiger had its back to Sebastian, but it could feel death approaching, and it couldn't help growling mournfully. Sebastian slapped the back of the tiger's head, and he destroyed half the tiger's body instantly."Holy sh—Mr. Ballard!"Scott stared at Sebastian in shock. What he had just witnessed was beyond the scope of his imagination. Even the legends of warriors fighting against tigers had described a life-and-death struggle. However, this particular tiger hadn't been able to fight back against Sebastian at all!Sebastian looked at the glistening heaps of blood and flesh on the ground, and he pulled out a dozen porcelain bottles. He filled five of them with tiger blood, then hacked off a large chunk of tiger meat, which he placed in a p
