Zeke wondered if he had done the right thing in asking for Marius' help."Yes, that's the one!" Zeke said, looking stern. Marius was silent for a long time before he nodded and said, "Alright. I'll help."Zeke was still rather worried. He looked Marius up and down for a long time before grabbing him and saying, "Let's go to Tranquil Hospital!"As Marius was an important person, even the hospital director was roused in the middle of the night to greet him personally upon his visit to Steinberg's Tranquil Hospital."Oh, Dr. Chesney!" Neil Caulkin, the hospital director, held out his hand enthusiastically to shake hands with Marius."Dr. Caulkin, get the operating theater ready right now!" Zeke glared at him. Why was Neil trying to curry favor at a time like this? Did he want to remain in his role as hospital director?"Yes, yes!" Neil hunched his shoulders in fright. He had been so excited that he'd forgotten that Zeke was there as well.The entire hospital began bustling like a
Rosalie's hostility toward Whitney had been greatly reduced, and the two of them were even able to talk and laugh together like old friends.One afternoon, Liam called Sebastian and told him that the gunman had been caught.The gunman had been brought back to Steinberg Police Headquarters, and Liam would personally examine the case. He was determined to bring the murderer, Trevor, and Whitney's previous attending physician, who had handed her over to Trevor, to justice all at once!Sebastian had just poured Whitney a glass of water and was about to give it to her when they heard a commotion outside.Sebastian ignored it at first, but as the sound of arguing grew louder, he couldn't help frowning. Whitney was only just out of danger, and she needed peace and quiet to recuperate. The noise at the door was getting louder, and it was disturbing Whitney so much that she couldn't rest."What's going on?" Sebastian opened the door and saw a middle-aged couple standing outside. The ma
Even Neil's expression changed slightly when he heard Garrett's name. "Mister, this is Mr. Callendon's younger brother. Do you think you could temporarily let him have the room?" Neil asked Sebastian in a small voice, smiling ingratiatingly.He couldn't afford to offend either of them. Zeke had personally brought Sebastian here, but Horace was Garrett's brother-in-law. Neil was in a dilemma.However, Sebastian wasn't related to Zeke by blood, which gave Horace a slight edge.In Neil's opinion, Zeke was unlikely to get into a conflict with Garrett for the sake of Sebastian, which was why he had decided to try and persuade Sebastian to compromise."I've already said that I won't." Sebastian refused to budge.Neil couldn't help frowning. He looked Sebastian up and down and said, "Young man, I'm doing this for your own good. Besides, your friend has been in the special care unit for three days. Her condition has already stabilized."Neil was the kind of person who was good at reading
Since the hospital was forcing Whitney to transfer, they would have to ensure her safety."What did you say? Send an ambulance to transport her to the designated hospital?" Neil looked at Sebastian as if he was crazy."Is there something wrong with my request?" Sebastian asked, frowning."Your request?" Neil's expression darkened, and he said, "Don't you have any self-awareness at all? Who do you think you are? Do you think you're worthy of making any requests?"Sebastian clenched his fists and suppressed his anger as he said, "My friend is not fit to leave the hospital right now. If she does, her life will be in danger.""I don't care whether your friend lives or dies. My sister-in-law needs a quiet room to recuperate, so get out of the special care unit right now!" Garrett yelled obnoxiously. He was finally revealing his true colors.His patience was limited, and he felt that Sebastian was crossing the line. Garrett was the director of the Pharmaceutical Administration, and he
"Mr. Callendon, what can we do for you?," Neil asked, grinning smarmily."Tell your subordinates that they're not allowed to administer care for this loser! Don't even allow them to give him a single pill! Otherwise, I'll hold you responsible!" Garrett said viciously as he pointed at Neil."Alright, I'll go at once," Neil said before turning and leaving.Sebastian chuckled as he watched the scene unfold."Young man, what grudge do you have against an old man like me? Do you really have to put me in such a difficult situation?" Wyatt's brow was furrowed tightly."Hmph! Who do you think you are? How dare you lecture me?" Garrett said, looking extremely arrogant."Alright! Fine! I'd like to ask Zeke how an old man like me has managed to offend you." Wyatt's face had turned as black as thunder with anger. His hands were shaking as he held his phone, and it took him a great deal of effort just to press the dial button."Who?" Zeke was Garrett's superior, and he was very familiar with
Before Horace could get up, Liam stepped forward and put his foot on Horace's back. The onlookers who had been watching the scene unfold began cheering in delight. Even several nurses had come over to watch. "How dare you! Call the police! Call the police and get them all arrested!" Garrett was even angrier as he watched Horace and Julia getting beaten up."Call the police?" Liam took his sunglasses off and slapped Garrett, catching him off guard.A dead silence fell as soon as the slap echoed in the corridor.Every doctor and nurse recognized Garrett. He was the director of the local Pharmaceutical Administration! Was Liam hitting him just because he felt like it?However, all the female doctors and nurses were secretly pleased. Garrett often used his authority to force young doctors and nurses into pleasing him and obeying his orders. Who wouldn't hate him?However, everyone could guess how serious the consequences of hitting him would be. The slap had been akin to poking
"Mr. Fisher, if Seb hadn't acted in time, Grandpa would've been injured by your subordinate." Liam wasn't about to hold back, either. His comment stressed Zeke out, as if he were carrying the weight of an entire mountain on his shoulders. "He was the one who insulted the old gentleman!" a nurse said, stepping out of the crowd and pointing at Garrett."Him too! He's the one who hit him first!" another nurse said, pointing at Horace.Zeke finally noticed Garrett, who was still rolling around the floor, clutching his leg. "Garrett?"Zeke looked menacingly at Garrett, who was still hugging his leg to himself as he writhed on the floor in pain. His eyes looked as if they were about to spit fire!"M-Mr… Mr. Fisher…" Garrett had a broken leg and was howling in pain, but he had heard everything that had just transpired, and he had heard it very clearly.His heart had sunk when he heard Wyatt unleashing his wrath on Zeke. Had he bitten off more than he could chew this time?Although he
Garrett was dumbstruck. He was still bleeding!"Young man! Young man, please say something on my behalf! I-I was a total monster! I shouldn't have treated you that way…" Garrett dared not plead with Zeke, so he had no choice but to crawl to Sebastian's feet. He clung tightly to Sebastian's leg and pleaded piteously with him.Sebastian looked coldly at him. "If it weren't for Mr. Holman Senior and Mr. Fisher, my friend would have been kicked out of the special care unit by now, wouldn't she?" The words seemed to hit Garrett like a brick. His jaw dropped open, but he could not say a word.He was filled with regret. Why had he been so blind? He hadn't realized how powerful Sebastian's allies were!He had offended Sebastian, and he had no idea what kind of man Sebastian was!"Please get your dirty hands off of me. If you keep clinging on to my pants, I'll break both your hands and your arms!" Sebastian said icily, not even deigning to look at Garrett.Garrett let go in fear and tried
"Pay you? Keep dreaming!" Kayden roared. "I'm telling you, even if I were to set fire to this entire building, no one would dare to make me pay a penny! Smashing this tiny hotel up is nothing!" He continued, "You came at just the right time. Today is the day I'm going to show you how I have some fun with your lady!"Kayden suddenly had an extremely evil thought. He would make the men from the law enforcement hall restrain Sebastian before he stripped Nina naked right in front of him. He was thrilled at the thought, and he was getting even more exhilarated. It wasn't the first time he had done such a thing, but he had never toyed with a woman as beautiful as Nina. The thought of having such a beautiful woman under him filled him with excitement. "Oh? Do you really think that you can do as you wish with such a small number of men?"Sebastian's gaze swept over the men from the law enforcement team. Over half of them had participated in wiping out the Lynches, and they were dee
Kayden grinned slyly as he spoke. The reason he hated Sebastian so much wasn't only because of how badly the latter had beaten him up. What was more important was why someone like Sebastian would have such a beautiful woman with him!Kayden was the heir of the Berkeleys. He was the most influential heir in the whole of Acorn City! When compared with Nina, Candy was practically a country bumpkin. Kayden couldn't stand the drastic difference between the two women. Didn't all beautiful women like rich men?Shouldn't beautiful women be vying for the attention of wealthy heirs instead?Sebastian was just a charlatan who went around tricking people! How could he have such a beautiful woman as his companion?Kayden was determined to make Nina one of his conquests by the end of that day so that she could see how impressive he was. Even if Sebastian died, Kayden wanted to make sure to cuckold him even in death!"Mr. Berkeley, t-this isn't appropriate!"Although Rocco did not know
Not long after Kayden had reached the Aequor, over a dozen ambulances pulled up opposite the hotel and waited there. "Rocco, get out here!" Kayden yelled toward the manager's office as soon as he reached the restaurant on the third floor. Rocco had received the news as soon as Kayden walked into the hotel. He had been scared witless when he saw Kayden storm in. Sebastian hadn't been back for two nights. He might have been killed by the Berkeleys! Without Sebastian's support, how could Rocco oppose them?To Kayden, killing Rocco would be as easy as crushing a bug. "What should I do, what should I do? Oh God, oh holy mother of gods! What should I do, damn it!" Rocco ran wildly around his office. He didn't even know which god to pray to for protection. "Rocco! If you don't get out here, I'll burn your office down!" Kayden shouted once more. Rocco's heart almost stopped at the mention of fire. He pushed the door open quickly and scurried over to Kayden. "Mr. Berkeley, plea
Kayden soon received news of how Sebastian had broken into the Berkeley clan hall the night before.He was furious. Who did Sebastian think he was? Was the Berkeleys' clan hall the kind of place that people could just walk in and out of as they pleased?"Mr. Berkeley, shall we go and see the clan hall later? After all, Ms. Candy is still there," Jayden said in an ingratiating tone.He had only managed to latch onto Kayden through his connection with Colton. This was a rare opportunity for him to make a comeback.That was why he had spent quite a large sum of money on Kayden recently. He had already gifted him over a dozen high-quality emerald pieces.Kayden wouldn't have been impressed by him if he hadn't done so."Do we need to? Sebastian is sure to die this time! Rocco is annoying me more right now. How dare he neglect me just because he thinks he's found a strong ally in Sebastian?"Kayden had seen clearly how obsequious and respectful Rocco had been to Sebastian while ignori
"You've done many evil deeds, and it's time for the Berkeleys to be destroyed!" Sebastian exclaimed. He summoned back his 18 clones with a single thought while he raised Purity. "No!" Violet screamed at the top of her lungs.There was a dull thump, and a head flew high into the air. A dark energy that looked both like a snake and like a human shot out at once. Sebastian wasn't going to let her have a chance of escaping. He tossed out four yellow paper charms at the same time. They formed a Nullcurse Spell and trapped both of Violet's souls within it."When I say die, I mean that your soul and spirit will be destroyed! You won't have a chance at finding another host!"Sebastian raised his palm and upturned it slightly as he said, "Destroy!""Sebastian, you'll come to a tragic end!"There was a blast as countless bolts of gold light burst forth and pierced the dark shadow, which looked both like a snake and a human.In the blink of an eye, the dark figure had disintegrated in t
In the end, even the scales on Lucius' body had been swiped off by the blows. Huge pieces of scales were torn off his body along with his skin and flesh. With every piece of scale that was torn off, he let out a bloodcurdling scream."Aargh! Please have mercy! I won't ever act recklessly again! Have mercy!"Lucius was now completely bloodied from the beating he had received. He was covered with wounds that went deep to the bone, and he was bleeding profusely. Even Violet couldn't bear to look at him.He no longer had the dignity of the ancestral being of the Berkeleys, and he had lost his domineering air. "You won't? Hmph! What are you going to say about that snake curse in her, then?" Sebastian asked, pointing at Candy. Lucius almost burst into tears. He didn't know anything about what they had done to Candy. Besides, once the soul of a snake began to merge with that of a human, they would become an entwined soul.He had only ever heard of a secret art that could separate an e
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
