Sebastian looked at Lina, who had fallen to the floor. There was a sheen of cold sweat on his forehead.That had been close!He had almost lost his life in that split second.It was the second time that night that he had come so close to death.Sebastian could finally feel how terrifying the Slaughter Gods were.Compared to a face-to-face battle like they'd had in the past, indiscriminate assassination was very hard to guard against. A slight slip could mean sudden death at any moment!"S-Seb… I… I… Grandpa…" Blood trickled out of the corner of Liam's mouth. Two men in suits hurried forward to support him."Liam!" Sebastian hurried over to him to check his injuries.Luckily, the bullet had gone through his body without injuring any of his internal organs.Liam was vomiting up blood because of the strain on the blood vessels in his abdomen that had been caused by the drag of the bullet. That was why he was bleeding.Sebastian quickly sealed Liam's acupuncture points with silve
"So, you're the real Social Butterfly?" Sebastian asked, smiling.Skylar shook her head slightly and pointed at Mimi's corpse, saying, "She really is the Social Butterfly! Why would someone as important as me have such a vulgar name?"Sebastian was startled. He smiled and asked, "Who are you?""Bianca!" When Skylar told him her real name, he realized that she was from Yutaria. Sebastian couldn't help being shocked. Skylar's accent, behavior, and eating habits were all exactly the same as the average Dramon citizen. He couldn't spot any difference at all.If she hadn't said her name, Sebastian would never have guessed. As Sebastian looked at her in shock, a billowing cloud of white smoke suddenly rose up in front of Skylar. Suddenly, a gorgeous woman appeared in front of Sebastian.She was wearing traditional Yutarian clothes with a red floral print, and she held a snow-white paper umbrella in her hand. She smiled as she looked at Sebastian.Sebastian had seen countless beauti
If all of them joined in, the balance between Sebastian and Bianca would be disrupted.Although Sebastian couldn't hope for any of them to be able to hurt Bianca, even one thousandth of a second was important when experts were fighting. Any momentary negligence or carelessness could be fatal."No, Mr. Ballard. I've told you that I no longer want to keep being entangled with you. You will not be able to make me stay," Bianca said, smiling.Sebastian smiled wryly. For some reason, he felt like Bianca was the woman of every man's dream, and he was in the role of a suitor who was desperately chasing her. If the circumstances hadn't been so violent and bloody, he might have believed her. However, Bianca was terrifying. If it hadn't been for Purity, Sebastian would already be dead.That was why he couldn't let Bianca go!Since they were in Dramon, Sebastian had the upper hand! It was his territory, after all.Just as Sebastian decided to fight to the death with the woman, Bianca bu
"Betty Warner, the daughter of the richest family in Jovenshire, would like to propose to Mr. Ballard. She's offering 77.77 million and a publicly-listed company as a token of her sincerity!""Luisa Albright, the daughter of the premiere family in Caevon, would like to propose to Mr. Ballard. She's offering two statues of pure gold that weigh over 100 tons in total as a token of her sincerity!""Cora Sutcliffe, the daughter of the Duke of Southam from Draepolis, would like to propose to Mr. Ballard. She's offering ten foreign islands worth 10 billion as a token of her sincerity!"The courthouse in Steinberg was an unassuming building, but for some reason, it was unusually bustling and fraught with tension today!Luxury cars lined the street outside the courthouse, and beside them stood prominent figures who could rattle the fabric of society with just a snap of their fingers!There were individuals from financial oligarchies with hundreds of billions in net worths, underworld king
"Are you certain you want to make such an extreme choice?" Sebastian asked one last time. He wanted to see if Whitney would show any signs of reluctance.Unfortunately, he did not detect even a trace of hesitation in Whitney's expression."We're not right for each other. Let's just go in and finalize the divorce. I'll do my best to meet all of your demands. Even after we've gotten divorced, we can still remain friends," Whitney bit her lip and offered after thinking about it.They could remain friends, huh?Sebastian laughed at Whitney's response. Tears trickled out of the corner of his eyes.It turned out that despite being married for three years, the relationship had been entirely one-sided. He was the presumptuous one.In her eyes, he was merely a stepping stone."Fine. I'll go through with the divorce! I don't need your money, the car, or the house. I can support myself!" Sebastian stubbornly declared."You're going to support yourself with that little shop of yours where
Whitney had just gotten out of the car when she heard what the young woman said to Sebastian. Her expression soured.Be it looks or physique, the gorgeous young woman was just as attractive as Whitney—and she drove a Ferrari.Whitney's chest tightened.When had Sebastian become acquainted with a woman like her?The young woman looked to be in her early 20s, which made her about five or six years younger than Whitney.Whitney immediately felt jealous.Mabel had gotten out of the car too. The sight before her made her frown."I'm sorry, but who are you?" Sebastian asked as he studied the young woman in front of him.She was a young and beautiful woman. Still, he had no idea who she was."Mr. Chester Sinclair recommended you to me, Dr. Ballard. My name is Rosalie Griffin. He said that you have the Goldcrow pill. It is the only thing that can save my grandfather. "My family, the Griffins, are willing to buy it from you for ten million dollars!" Rosalie pleaded tearfully."Chest
Over in Rosalie's car, Sebastian had just found out who she was. She was a part of the Griffins of Janover.Sebastian's brows creased slightly. If not mistaken, the Griffins were the juggernauts of Janover. Every move they made could rock the entire city.If Whitney had been in the car as well, her jaw would have dropped in shock.The Griffins of Janover, the family she desperately wanted to form an association with, were seeking help from Sebastian, the useless man she'd just divorced.Soon, the car stopped outside a residential compound.Once they got out of the car, Rosalie hastily brought Sebastian into one of the bedrooms.A sickly old man lay on the bed. All the color had drained from his face. Even his lips were purplish. Every breath he took seemed to drag on forever. It was as if he were a dying candle flickering in the wind.A middle-aged man and a doctor stood beside the bed. Dressed in linen, the doctor was inserting acupuncture needles into Rosalie's grandfather, Ol
Inside the bedroom, Levi turned to Jonah and said placatingly, "Sorry about that, Dr. Pike. My daughter is too naive. I'm sure she got fooled by someone. I'll give her a good scolding later. Please carry on with the treatment.""Alright," Jonah responded before swiftly placing the next needle.Once he placed the final needle, Oliver, who had been unconscious for many days, slowly opened his eyes."Dad, you're awake! How wonderful!"Levi was so emotional that his eyes grew red.The Griffin family had consulted all of the most famous doctors in the world to find someone who could treat Oliver. Alas, it was to no avail. In the end, they came to Steinberg and went to great lengths to get Jonah to come and take a look at Oliver."You are indeed the genius doctor of Steinberg, Dr. Pike. You were able to save my father from the throes of death! I have never seen anything like this before. From now on, you will forever be the Griffins' most honored guest," Levi declared as he swiftly e
