Amadeus gritted his teeth as he spoke in a heavy voice.Atticus' legs buckled at once, and he fell to his knees as he said, "Dr. Wilkins, Mr. Rosenchild, the truth is that I wasn't the one who rescued Mr. Elias. But… but that man… that man isn't from our hospital.""What kind of person was he?" Barnaby asked coldly.Atticus knew that he could no longer hide it, so he told them what had happened. He said, "I… I thought that he was just a traditional medicine charlatan, so… so I…"Before he could finish, Ambrose slapped him in the face.Elias was slipping away from life right in front of his eyes. If they couldn't find that man, Elias would die. "Don't just get angry, Ambrose! Think of something! We have to find the person who did acupuncture for our son!" Arabella said anxiously.Ambrose suppressed his anger and thought carefully about the two young men that Atticus had described.According to what Atticus had said, the one in a jacket had spoken very arrogantly.The other had
"Damn you! Why did you pretend to understand if you don't?" Ambrose rushed forward and kicked Atticus."Mr. Rosenchild, Mr. Rosenchild! Please have mercy!" Atticus pleaded, crying and screaming.He wasn't afraid of Ambrose punching or kicking him. He was afraid that Ambrose would take revenge on him later."Quiet!" Sebastian frowned and walked over to Ambrose. He spread out his palm and began activating the spiritual energy inside his body. The remaining nine silver needles flew simultaneously into Sebastian's palm."What amazing technique!" Barnaby was shocked by Sebastian's show of skill. If he hadn't seen it for himself, he would find it very hard to believe that someone in the world of traditional medicine today would know how to use such a legendary acupuncture skill.This was a legendary method because all ten silver needles had to be driven into ten main acupuncture points simultaneously, and they all had to be removed at the same time as well.Otherwise, the acupuncture
Whenever Jayden thought of the yearning look in Whitney's eyes when she had looked at Sebastian during the Gibsons' banquet, he felt a rage rise up in him!He wished he could take away everything in Frostwave Corporation that belonged to Whitney and force her to submit to him in bed!"Mr. Stallone, you can't rush things. Don't forget, what Mr. Beckard really wants is the formula for the Arctic Snow mask. If you want to attain this goal, that bitch Whitney is the most important factor."Besides, as far as I know, your current position in the Stallone family isn't very stable either."If you get the formula of the Arctic Snow mask and make the Stallones one of the collaborators in the Bashmore Group project, that cousin of yours will have no hope of becoming the Stallone family successor in this lifetime, right?" Ryder turned to look at Mabel, who was beside them. Mabel nodded quickly and said, "That's right. The Arctic Snow mask and the Goldcrow pill formulas are actually both cre
As soon as Sebastian hung up, Harold called. "It's me, Mr. Ballard. Harold."Sebastian frowned when he heard Harold's voice, and he said, "It's been a while, Mr. Tennyson. How can I help you?"Harold paused and said hesitantly, "Mr. Ballard, I'd like to ask if you happen to have offended someone called Jayden?" Sebastian said in confusion, "Jayden? We've only met a few times. Why?" "That must be right." Harold said rather anxiously, "I heard that Jayden has contacted quite a few wealthy heirs in Sunway, and they're planning to go to Steinberg tomorrow to cause trouble for a certain person.""Previously I wondered if you guys got into a conflict because Jayden had his eye on Ms. Sutton from Frostwave Corporation. Now it seems that they're coming for you, Mr. Ballard."Sebastian laughed carelessly and said, "They're just a few wealthy heirs. Let them come if they want to."Sebastian was no longer the placid man he had been a month ago.Some people just needed to be frightened.
The Gullivers were ranked last among the Four Great Families, which consisted of the Carrows, the Winters, the Petersons, and the Gullivers.However, the Gullivers' fortune wasn't just built on business.Aloysius Gulliver was the apprentice of the sect leader of the Crane Sect, and the Gullivers had always prided themselves on being a martial arts family.Even the other three families and the Coltranes had to show the Gullivers some respect!Orlando was the only child in his generation, so he was doted on by Aloysius.If Sebastian did injure Orlando, then it was very likely that there would be no place for Sebastian in the whole of Sartvale."Why didn't you say so earlier?" Sandra snapped as she glared at Harold. "Well, it's not too late now. This isn't something that we can control. Perhaps I still have some authority as the city mayor, but it's useless when dealing with the Four Great Families.""The only thing we can do now is to ask Mr. Coltrane Senior to step forward hims
Whitney sighed in exasperation and shook her head as she said, "Dante, can't you see that the Stallones have joined forces with Ryder to force Sebastian to hand over his shares?""Tomorrow, you're forbidden from going to the office to make a fuss. Otherwise, I won't bother about your living expenses in the future!" Whitney picked up her sling bag and walked out of the room."Winnie…""Winnie!"No matter how much Crystal and Dante called after her, she walked into the elevator without looking back.Whitney finally slumped down in the driver's seat like a deflated balloon when she got into the car.In less than ten days, Ryder had changed almost every member of staff in Frostwave Corporation.The executives that Whitney had trained up had mostly either resigned or been allocated by Ryder to insignificant positions.Whitney felt that there was no way out of her current situation."Sebastian…" Whitney missed the days when she and Sebastian had been together. At least, no matter
A rather plump manager walked over and tried to placate them ingratiatingly.Axel Rastell slapped him in the face and said, "Who do you think you are? How dare you meddle in my business?"The manager stumbled from the force of the slap. He held his face and said, "Axel, we always pay your fees punctually every month. You can't cause trouble here! How will we do business in the future?""Do you have a death wish? How dare you talk back to Axel?" A tattooed man raised his leg and kicked the fat manager.The manager clutched his stomach in pain from the kick and rolled on the ground. Several waiters hurried over to help him away. "Hey pretty lady. Let's not waste time talking. How do you plan on settling this today? Let's get right to the point." Axel looked maliciously at Whitney and leered at her."I… I can pay you back for your clothes. I-Is 1000 enough?" Whitney asked. She pulled out ten hundred-dollar bills from her bag nervously and handed them over.The tattooed man beside
"Mr. Gulliver? Sorry, I've never heard of him," Sebastian said icily.Upon seeing Sebastian ignoring what he said, Axel instinctively backed away and pointed at him. "Don't run if you dare, you brat!" he said through gritted teeth. "Did I say I would run?" Sebastian retorted, scoffing. "Okay, fine! You have guts, do you? We shall wait and see!" Axel said as he pulled out his phone to make a call.Sebastian exhaled in resignation. He pulled out a chair and sat on it.Normally, Sebastian wouldn't even have bothered staying while Axel called people over.However, the circumstances were special.After all, Whitney had already lost her influence in the Sutton family. If they came for Whitney later and the Suttons just stood aside, it didn't take a genius to guess what would happen."Hello? Mr. Gulliver? I got beaten up in Blue Dream bar, and the man even said that the Gullivers are nothing! Even if you come personally, he said you'd have to grovel to you in apology.""Oh, alright
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
Brayden sneered. "Kill you and cover this up? You overestimate yourselves. This is an act of protecting officials!" The bare fact of the matter was that they were going to kill everyone who knew about the Berkeleys' depraved acts. Once they had done so, the Berkeleys' perfect image would be restored. "Do you think that it's reasonable and lawful for Kayden to act the way he does?" Sebastian asked in a cold, accusing voice. "There's no helping it. Those in power must have some privileges. That's an accepted fact in the world. It's your fault for not being part of this class of people. If you're going to blame anyone, blame yourselves for being born in the wrong family!" Brayden said smugly as he shot Egbert Galen a glance. Egbert strode over to Kayden and crouched down to inspect his injuries. He tapped him with a finger. "Aargh!" The pain made huge beads of sweat drip down Kayden's face."Alright. You can stand up and take a few steps, Mr. Kayden!" Egbert said, putting his
"Oh?" Brayden glanced twice at Sebastian before asking, "What crime has Mr. Kayden committed? Tell me!" Sebastian couldn't be bothered to argue with him and just played the phone recording. The two old men frowned involuntarily when they finished listening to it."You're Inspector Jefferson, aren't you? I'd like to ask you how anyone could want to sleep with a bride at a wedding banquet in front of thousands of guests. Is he an animal? Don't the Berkeleys do this sort of thing in private?"Does this mean that when someone in the Berkeley family gets married, any of the guests or even a mere passerby can have their way with the bride in front of all their friends and family?"Javier turned red, then pale as he listened. He pointed at Sebastian and cursed him loudly. "You bastard! Stop talking nonsense!""Inspector Jefferson, since you admire Mr. Kayden's genes so much, why don't you let him improve your family's gene pool as well? You should especially let Mr. Kayden help out wi
Two black-clad men came up to the car door and opened it for Brayden, who then got out of the car. As he alighted, two elderly men also got out of the black car behind him. They came up beside Brayden and said, "Inspector Jefferson!" Brayden clasped his hands behind his back and nodded as he said, "Mr. Galen, Mr. Irving. Come and get rid of this nuisance with me today. Remember, we must not show any mercy!" The two old men nodded slightly and said, "We'll do as you say, Inspector Jefferson!"Brayden nodded slightly and said to Jayden, "Lead the way!" Jayden hastily gestured for them to go ahead. He led them happily into the Aequor.He had fled the hotel just a while ago, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to have transformed into a different person. He walked into the hotel with his chest puffed up, and his entire demeanor had changed. The attendants on the first floor looked at him in surprise. "Did that handsome young guy go and get himself an invigorating shot of so
