"Ballard, you have crossed the line. How dare you beat up Mr. Gibson's men! Mr. Gibson was being generous when he told you to apologize, but you not only disrespected him, you even crippled that man! "People like you shouldn't be allowed to continue living in this world!" Jayden growled angrily through gritted teeth. He glared menacingly at Sebastian.A moment ago, Jayden had been worrying that Sebastian would do as Tripp had commanded, which would mean that he would have no chance of getting his revenge.When he walked into the hall, he discovered that Sebastian had ignored Tripp's order and had even maimed Jeremiah on the spot.This was an excellent opportunity for Jayden to kick Sebastian while he was down. He wouldn't miss it for the world!Ryder looked coldly at Sebastian and turned to Whitney. He said, "Do you see that? That's the husband that old idiot chose for you back then! I can't believe that you had the audacity to speak up for him!""Forget it, Mr.Sutton. Let's go.
Tripp narrowed his eyes and stared fixedly at Sebastian. He looked sinister as he said, "Young man, I already gave you a way out. If you insist on behaving this way, you'll be showing me disrespect.""Oh, you must be Mr. Gibson!" Sebastian smiled sunnily as he glanced at Tripp.Tripp continued staring silently at Sebastian.Sebastian was clearly challenging his authority. He was humiliating Tripp in front of so many of the rich and famous in Sunway."Mr. Gibson came right on time." Sebastian's smile froze all of a sudden, and he said coldly, "Why didn't you come out just now when his bodyguards wanted to kill me? Why didn't you come out to stop them? What were you doing when he was holding my girlfriend hostage at knifepoint?"Both Rosalie and Whitney were in shock to hear him mention the word "girlfriend".Rosalie was shocked but delighted. Meanwhile, Whitney backed away, looking dazed. Had Sebastian made things official with Rosalie already?As Whitney backed away, she shook
Whitney ran out of the hall, crying. Tripp glanced at her as she ran off and smiled disdainfully. "I think you should take Ms. Sutton's advice. Have you looked in the mirror? Who do you think you are?"At the very least, Mr. Manson is the CEO of a media company. Everyone else here has status and influence. If you hadn't been impolite, why would they have made things difficult for you?"Sebastian laughed out of sheer anger. He pointed at Jeremiah and said, "Ask him why I hit him! According to your logic, if I flirted with your wife to your face, you should be thanking me for stopping her from being lonely!"As soon as Sebastian finished speaking, there was a roar of laughter in the hall.Tripp's face turned white, then red, as he glared angrily at Sebastian. He was shaking with anger. No one had dared to take that tone with him in over 20 years. Sebastian had successfully provoked Tripp!However, Tripp didn't dare to walk over to him.Jeremiah was living proof. Even if Tripp w
With Gavin's help, Sebastian would no longer have to worry.As he had expected, Rosalie had only just sent the message when her phone vibrated with a reply. The message simply read, "I'm here."Rosalie showed the phone to Sebastian, and he nodded, chuckling.Tripp was incensed to see Rosalie and Sebastian flirting with each other. They clearly didn't respect him! How could they still act all lovey-dovey at a time like this?"Sebastian Ballard, I'm talking to you! Are you deaf?" Tripp roared angrily as he pointed at him.Sebastian smiled lightly. His gaze swept over the crowd until finally, at the 11 o'clock position, he spotted a very familiar face—Gavin."I'll tell you one last time. Get over here, kneel, and apologize! If you do, I'll spare your life." Sebastian grinned and pushed Rosalie toward Gavin. "Mr. Tirth, kill him for me!" Tripp yelled at Maximus as he pointed at Sebastian.Maximus began calmly doing the footwork for the Square Steps. When he reached the center of t
Maximus' eyes flickered, and he smiled at Sebastian as he said, "Young man, I admit defeat when it comes to your speed and technique."It's just a pity that I haven't met a worthy opponent over all these years. I was planning on going easy against you, but I didn't expect you to be afraid to fight in close quarters with me."Maximus pretended to look regretful, but in reality, he was just trying to force Sebastian to fight with him in close quarters. All Warriors either practiced external and inner strength or technique. Sebastian was so good at his technique that he was as fast as lightning. That meant that he was probably very weak in his external and inner strength.However, that was just an assumption on Maximus' part. Sebastian had actually never practiced any techniques. The only thing he knew was the Sacred Medicine Society's Seven Star Path, which he had happened to see once and had remembered since then. Sebastian chuckled and stood still. He said to Maximus, "Old man
Tripp immediately understood Maximus. He looked meaningfully at the subordinates beside him.His subordinates were about to move when an icy bolt of light flashed in front of them. Right after that, four heads fell to the floor. Tripp had seen many things in his time and had weathered many storms, but he had never seen people being killed as easily as if they were vegetables! Cold sweat trickled down his forehead at once. "Maximus, you're the most shameless person I've ever met," Gavin said as he walked out of the crowd and fixed a cold gaze on him.When he heard the icy voice calling out his name, Maximus frowned and looked up in Gavin's direction. When he saw Gavin's face clearly, his pupils constricted, and he wet himself in fear. His snow-white pants were immediately stained yellow, and the onlookers burst into laughter at once. "Oh my! How can he wet himself at the drop of a hat at his age?" "I think he'd better go back to diapers before coming again.""The next time
Tripp fell to his knees. Between pride and his life, Tripp chose to live.Pride was important, but what use would pride be if he lost his life?Sebastian slapped Tripp in the face and said loudly to everyone in the hall, "Is this what the upper class is like?" Although there wasn't much force behind his slap, Tripp felt like crying from the indignity of being slapped in front of hundreds of people. Sebastian slapped Tripp again and smiled, saying, "Someone with status?"He slapped him four times consecutively, and Tripp felt his ears ringing. "Tell me where your status is! If you're so important, why are you kneeling on the floor?" Sebastian narrowed his eyes at Tripp.Tripp hung his head and dared not say a word. He could feel the murderous energy emanating from Sebastian. Jeremiah's torn arm lay a mere four feet or so away from him, as if reminding him not to be impulsive or to resist. Otherwise, he would end up worse off than Jeremiah."You. Get me a rope." Sebastian po
As Jeremiah howled, Sebastian grinned at Tripp and said, "Mr. Gibson, I have no grudge against you. Why did you make me grovel in apology to you without even asking what had happened?"Tripp had no answer.In the beginning, he also felt that Jeremiah had gone too far, but he had been contemptuous of Sebastian upon hearing that he didn't come from a prestigious background. He felt that it was nothing to ask someone like Sebastian to grovel because Sebastian had no status, influence, or powerful allies.However, Jeremiah was an influential person. If his pride was hurt, he could even back out of the Sunway Chamber of Commerce. That was why Tripp had made such a rash decision.However, he didn't dare to say a word of this to Sebastian. "As for you, show me the sword that you used just now!" Sebastian pointed at Maximus.Maximus' eyes twitched, and he trembled as he unfastened the sword from around his waist. The moment Sebastian took the sword, Maximus felt a sharp pain in his
"It's a good thing I was here tonight. You may not be so lucky next time," Lyanna said. She got up to leave, but Rosalie rose hurriedly and called after her, "Wait!""Is there anything else?" Lyanna turned her head slightly and fixed her beautiful eyes on Rosalie."What kind of person is Sebastian? I mean…" After Lyanna had told her who she was, Rosalie felt as if her thoughts were in turmoil. Even Sebastian, whom she had always loved and admired, had suddenly become unfamiliar to her.If Sebastian had just been a traditional medicine doctor, she could have accepted it. However, now Sebastian was keeping a female spirit around him. Not only that, the spirit was his servant. This was beyond the scope of Rosalie's understanding. Sebastian was rapidly becoming like a riddle to her."Have you heard of sages? Mr. Ballard is probably like them," Lyanna said. In a flash, she had disappeared without a trace.Rosalie remained quiet for a long time before she started the engine once mor
The short, fat man who had smashed up Rosalie's car window tossed his rock aside and hurried over. His eyes were bulging as he looked greedily at the beautiful woman standing in front of them. She was just as pretty as Rosalie was."Boss, I deserve some credit for the work I've done, don't I? Can you give me this chick?" the short, fat man asked, rubbing his hands together as he licked his lips.Lyanna looked at Chet and the short, fat man. She covered her mouth and giggled as she said, "I don't know what kind of day it is, but I do know that next year, this will be your death anniversary! Which of you wants to die first?""I… Huh?" Chet had been about to lunge forward and grab Lyanna, but then he realized what she had said.It would be their death anniversary on this day next year? What did that mean?Before he could recover his senses, Lyanna tittered and nodded. "Alright, you'll die first."She flicked her sleeve aside and revealed her slender, pale hands. Her foot-long, brigh
When Chet and the lackeys looked more closely, they saw that the car parked in the distance was a personal car and that there was a gorgeous woman sitting inside it.They were delighted at their good fortune. This was an opportunity they could not miss!As they were in such a remote area, they barely ever saw any women, let alone a beautiful one like Rosalie.Therefore, Chet gave the order, and the thugs all surged forward. They were barely able to contain their excitement."Hello, beautiful. What has upset you so much at this late hour? Tell us about it. Even if we can't make you happy, you can make us happy!" The short, fat man in the lead reached out to pull Rosalie's car door open as he spoke.Rosalie was beside herself with fear. She hastily locked the car and pulled her phone out of her bag as she screamed loudly at the men outside her car. "What do you want? Stay away from my car, or… or I'll call the police!"The fat, short man glanced at Rosalie, who looked frightened an
Sebastian heard Rosalie sobbing behind him. He turned around abruptly, but Rosalie rushed over to him and slapped him in the face before he could explain."Sebastian! I rushed over here as soon as I heard that something had happened in Steinberg! You… You're a jerk!" Rosalie was weeping. She had been planning on telling Sebastian on the day of the martial arts battle about the good news of the huge order that Arctic Snow Group had received from Lorcan. However, while eavesdropping on a conversation between Oliver and Belinda, she found out about the huge commotion over in Steinberg.When she heard that all eight of the Celestial realm experts that the Warrior League had sent to protect Whitney had all been killed and that the latter had disappeared, Rosalie couldn't contain her anxiety.She had rushed back to Steinberg at once.When she found no sign of Sebastian at the Moonlyte Club, she had come to the convenience store instead.She saw that it was lit up and had run straight
Hank and Taylor broke out into a cold sweat when they saw what had happened. Terence was like a god to them!Who would have thought that Terence, who had had the upper hand just a moment ago, would have stood vacantly on the spot just because Sebastian had thrust the rusty bronze mirror at him? He had just stood still and waited for Sebastian to come and kill him!"Run, hurry!" Before he could think too much about it, Taylor growled in a low voice and turned to flee to the foot of the mountain.Hank only came to his senses when Taylor was already far away from him. He was about to go after him, but he had only gone a few steps when a ghostly, feminine figure appeared and blocked his path."You—" The moment Hank turned, his soul almost left his body from fright at what he saw.Only a moment had passed since Terence's murder, but the eerie woman in front of him had already cut off more than a dozen heads. Whenever she cut a head off, dark energy would be sucked into her emerald
Terence wielded his sword. Wherever the blade pointed, the air was sliced apart instantly!Sebastian forced himself to concentrate and raised his sword to shield his chest!There was a clang as Terence's sword crashed down on Sebastian's, and sparks flew up at once. Sebastian couldn't help but take a few steps back. He felt the energy roiling inside him and almost spat out a mouthful of blood."My lord!" Nina felt extremely anxious when she saw that Sebastian was at a disadvantage. She ignored Sebastian's previous command and leaped over to him to hold him up. "My lord, are you alright?" Nina asked in concern. Sebastian was slightly flushed, and he looked as if his energy was becoming erratic. He shook his head slightly and pushed Nina away. He handed Whitney to her and said, "Protect Whitney well. If anything happens to her, come and see me with your head!" Nina turned to Rose, who was beside her. She wanted to protest, but Sebastian waved a hand and said, "Lyanna was hur
"It's a pity that you'll never understand," Sebastian said.Terence's face flushed. Who would've expected a young man in his twenties like Sebastian to be so perceptive? He was even more advanced than Terence in the Way of Wisdom!"My lord, I was trapped in the front yard just now. No matter how I walked, I couldn't get through the door. That's why…" Lyanna trailed off and hung her head, looking shamefaced.Technically, she was a spirit. How had she fallen prey to the Bewitchment spell? Even Lyanna was puzzled."It's the Soulbell!" Sebastian turned abruptly to look at Terence.Lyanna felt that she couldn't have been trapped by the Bewitchment spell because she didn't actually have a body. Meanwhile, Nina was a thousand-year-old snake deity, and ordinary formations couldn't contain her at all.Therefore, there was only one possibility. Terence had external help. The Soulbell was the only possible explanation.Nina and Rose arrived as well."Protect Whitney," Sebastian said befor
Sebastian eyed the middle-aged man and laughed coldly. "You surprised me too. Do you want to be a sacrifice for my sword?"Sebastian gently shook Purity, which he was holding. Immediately, it felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck the entire yard!Hank and the others began mocking him at once. "Ballard, you are bold out of ignorance. Do you know who is standing in front of you? Let me tell you, it's the seventh elder of Sword Towers, Mr. Manderly."One of them added, "Consider it an honor for you to be killed by Mr. Manderly."Sebastian raised an eyebrow and squinted at Terence as he said, "If I'm guessing correctly, Nina and the others must have fallen into your trap. That's why they haven't arrived yet. Right?""You're observant!" Terence smiled faintly and said, "If you hadn't stepped into Draconem Cathedral right before I did, you would be stuck in a Bewitchment trap, just like them."Honestly, it's a miracle for someone of your age to have this level of training. However,
While Taylor stood there, stunned, Sebastian bore down on him. Upon seeing Sebastian raising his fist to hit him once more, Taylor hastily pulled himself together and met Sebastian's punch with his own."Are… Are you all stupid?" Blood was seeping out of the back of Taylor's hand as he looked at the people behind him."You've always liked fighting alone, Taylor. We were afraid that we would spoil your fun." Despite what Hank said, he turned on his heel and sent a spinning kick at Sebastian to block his path.Sebastian felt a strong force rushing toward him, and he immediately stopped in the midst of pursuing Taylor. He moved aside and aimed a roundhouse kick at Hank. Yet another wave of energy exploded, and fear flashed across Hank's face. The blow had seemed plain, but it embodied the mysterious principles of martial arts.Even an expert who was two levels higher than Hank would have had his bones broken by that kick, let alone someone who was only at the first level of the Ce
