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
"You rascal!" Cillian said, laughing. "You aren't efficient in your work, yet you have the audacity to ask me for a position?""Mr. Shields Senior, I'd be willing to never get promoted," Zeke said firmly.Cillian threw back his head and laughed as he said, "You'll have to be promoted. You've been pretending to be a corrupt official for so many years, and you must have suffered many misunderstandings. However, our country will reward those who are loyal."Zeke looked relieved."Mr. Shields Senior, what I've done is nothing compared to you." A few tears rolled down Zeke's face.He owed everything he had to Cillian, but ever since he had taken on the position of chief director at Steinberg Pharma, he had gained a reputation for being extremely corrupt.However, every penny he embezzled had been secretly submitted straight to the country's reserves, and everything he had done was so that he could complete the mission that Cillian had given him many years ago.That was only the way h
Vince was worried that Liam would beat Marius to death. If he did, then Vince would find it very hard to explain things to Cillian."Chief Weist, you're not asking me to go to the special forces team and get a special letter of interrogation, are you?"Liam's eyes had turned red. Marius was a total asshole who had almost killed Cillian. Cillian was Liam's idol, and he had even saved Wyatt's life in the past. If Liam didn't teach him a lesson, he would not be able to live with himself."Well… you're quite the jokester, Mr. Holman. Of course, we don't need a special letter of interrogation."Liam's eyes flickered when he saw Vince's awkward expression. He immediately understood. "Chief Weist, I think you've misunderstood Mr. Shields Senior's intentions. He handed Marius over to you for interrogation because the guards aren't able to torture Marius.""Mr. Holman, are you saying that…" Vince's heart jolted—what Liam was saying made sense.After all, Marius was Cillian's personal do
"Kneel!" Sebastian suddenly yelled.Brayden yelped with fear and fell to his knees."Sebastian, I… I'm a tristate inspector of the Martial Arts Court!"At that point, Brayden's final hope was his authority and position. He didn't want to die, and he especially didn't want to die for no reason.He just wanted to win favor with the ancestral being of the Berkeleys and get some tips on how to get a longer life."Call your wife! I'll give you two hours. If she doesn't come, you'll be tortured to death as well. I can tell you clearly that I'm a doctor, and I have ways to keep you alive until you get slashed 3,600 times with a knife!" Sebastian said icily."I…"Brayden trembled as he pulled out his phone. His mind had gone blank, and it took him a long time to find his wife's phone number. Her name was Darla Wyllis. "Hello? Honey? A handbag caught my eye today, but that stupid store actually refused to give it to me for free! It's a lousy handbag that only costs about 500 thousand d
Jayden had only gone a few steps, but he had no choice but to stop. He turned and grimaced at the Berkeleys and Brayden, who were all looking in his direction.He was filled with regret. He should have made his escape earlier instead of coming back with Brayden. Egbert and Yorrick were clearly fools. One of them had maimed himself and ended up vomiting blood relentlessly, while the other stood there like an idiot for Sebastian to slap him. He would be surprised if either of them could defeat Sebastian.As everyone was watching him, Jayden had no choice but to return to his previous spot. He looked nervously at Yorrick, praying inwardly that the old man would somehow get more skilled. He couldn't let Sebastian screw him over!"This is the last slap, old man. Do you still have any feeling in your face?" Sebastian asked, raising his palm."Damn you!" Yorrick swore violently. However, one of his front teeth had been knocked out earlier when he was slapped, and air escaped noisily t
The entire left side of Yorrick's face had become so numb that he couldn't feel a thing."Young man, just now you already hit me—""I only slapped you once!" Sebastian interrupted, holding up a finger.Yorrick spat and said, "How could one slap have made so many noises?"Sebastian replied innocently, "Everyone here can testify that I only hit you once, and I did it very slowly too. You all saw it, didn't you?"The onlookers nodded quickly, especially the experts from the law enforcement hall. They still couldn't figure out how an expert at Yorrick's level could have been sent flying through the air by a weak slap like that from Sebastian.What puzzled them the most was that Yorrick had clearly landed in a very safe spot. Why had he insisted on rolling into a pile of broken glass and gotten such a gaping wound on his face?"Fine!" Yorrick clenched his teeth and suppressed the pain in the right side of his face. "There are still two moves left!" he said viciously."Will you com
Sebastian nodded slightly. Yorrick had probably killed the young man because the latter was proficient in mystic spells and was already on the brink of the threshold. That could be the only reason for Yorrick's senseless deedThere were some people who couldn't bear seeing people who were stronger than them, which was why they made their move before their opponent could grow and develop."Are you really going to concede three moves to me, old man?" Sebastian stepped forward, grinning."Of course!" Yorrick answered, staring arrogantly at him.He still hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary with Sebastian, so he assumed that Sebastian was just an ordinary guy. He had probably only been able to defeat so many experts—including Egbert—because he had used some kind of trick. Egbert had lost because he had fallen into Sebastian's trap, not because of the latter's skills. That was why Egbert ended up suffering from the backlash of the ghost he had nurtured and lost his powers."I'll
"Young man, you're so cruel. Have you ever thought of the consequences of your actions?" Yorrick asked. He put his hands behind his back as he walked slowly toward Sebastian. Sebastian eyed Yorrick, whose training was at least on the same level as Egbert's. Besides, what he had studied was also a kind of spell. He and Sebastian specialized in the same study.The moment Yorrick got angry, Sebastian had sensed the faint power of Dainist principles from him."No blows are kind, and neither are harsh words! Why do you people feel that others should meekly allow you to beat them up? When your people are injured, you immediately think of it as the other party's mistake! That doesn't make any sense!" Sebastian answered coldly."Mr. Irving, kill that asshole!" Kayden said viciously. He was still clutching his crotch with one hand while he pointed at Sebastian with his other hand. Beside them, Jayden said defiantly, "Mr. Irving, you must not let this guy go! He's ruthless and extremely
Huh? Egbert frowned involuntarily. He had never felt that way before. What was going on? There was a loud blast, and the gigantic statue suddenly appeared out of thin air. At the same time, Egbert suddenly felt his blood churning inside him, and he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.He was about to turn and run when a black bolt of light hit him in the back. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew through the air like a broken kite. "Oh! Are you actually a sadist, old man?" Sebastian asked, smiling.Before Egbert could scramble up again, yet another bolt of dark light flew toward him."Damn it!"Egbert could no longer be conscious of his image and dignity. He swore at once. The dark light was aimed at his energy reserve. If he was hit, his decades of training would be completely ruined. However, he had plenty of life experience and had been through many such situations. When he saw the dark light flying toward him, he rolled across the floor like a bal
The dark shadow stretched out a large hand toward Nina. It appeared to be planning on tearing off her clothes. "Die?" Nina burst into laughter. How dare a ghost who was only around 300 years old talk to her about dying? As the smile stiffened on Nina's face, she bared her teeth, revealing fangs. Her scarlet eyes looked up impassively at the dark shadow above her head. "Aargh!" When the gigantic, dark shadow saw Nina's true form, it turned to try and escape, but it was too close to her that it was impossible for it to do so.It had only taken one step backward before Nina reached out and yanked it back."Have mercy, my lady!" The giant shadow disappeared and became a dark and scrawny-looking ghost that was less than five feet tall. "How dare you disrupt my dreams? You deserve to disintegrate into nothing!"Nina raised her hand and pressed down on top of the dark and scrawny ghost's head. "No!"The dark and scrawny ghost fell to its knees with a thump before Nina and sa
The Sacred Medicine Secret Annals also contained mystic spells from the Demon Sect. However, it was clearly written that those who practiced them would suffer divine punishment if they were to excel in it!Those were very heavy words indeed. How evil did those spells have to be if they would bring down divine punishment on those who excelled in practicing them?"Hmph! Stop trying to act as if you're smart in front of me. Have you ever seen such amazing spells? Believe it or not, I can kill your entire family with a click of my fingers?"There was a sinister tinge to Egbert's smile. With ordinary people, Egbert would only have to send out a thought to kill the entire family of his opponent instantly.However, Sebastian was being very dismissive of him. Evil spells like those required the supernatural spirit behind Egbert to sense the opponent's energy, after which they would use the same energy to find their family members.The process wasn't as mysterious as Egbert made it out
Those deceptive tricks appeared impressive, but those who Egbert healed would only end up in an even worse state, suffering even more."I haven't committed any crimes. How can I accept my punishment?" Sebastian asked disinterestedly.Brayden sneered. "You're not the one who decides whether you've committed a crime or not. Come! Subdue this defiant man!"Subdue Sebastian? Who would dare to do such a thing?The law enforcement hall members exchanged looks.Upon seeing this, Egbert stepped forward and said arrogantly, "Young man, you've seen what I can do. Compared to me, you martial arts practitioners aren't worthy of mention at all. I'll be lenient on you because you're young and ignorant. Just give up and come quietly!"Egbert was different from ordinary deacons in the Martial Arts Court. He had been hired specially as a mystic spells expert.When compared with mystic spells or cultivation, so-called martial arts weren't worthy of mention at all.That was because all mystic spe
