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
"Mr. Gulliver, cripple him!""That's right, cripple him!" the tattooed men clamored aggressively."Hey pal, I was planning to deal with this peacefully. However, as you can see, my subordinates won't stand for that," Andre said, laughing coldly."What do you mean by that, Mr. Gulliver?" Sebastian asked calmly."It's very simple. I want you to break one of your arms and then grovel in apology. If you do, I can forgive you. Otherwise, I'll break both your legs and sever the tendons in your limbs!" Andre said icily. "Sebastian, why don't we call the police?" Whitney asked, looking worriedly at Sebastian."Don't waste your strength, pretty lady. No one in a tiny place like Steinberg or even Sartvale would dare to meddle in my affairs." Andre had excellent hearing, and although Whitney had lowered her voice, he had heard her very clearly."Oh? Are even the police officers too scared to meddle?" Sebastian asked, frowning."You should ask around. Who would dare to meddle in the affai
One of the tattooed men took a step forward and immediately got kicked in the crotch by Sebastian. He flew up several feet into the air and fainted from the pain.Two other tattooed men pulled out their knives, but as soon as they did so, Sebastian slapped them both hard in the face and sent them hurtling through the air for several feet. They fell heavily on the ground and were knocked unconscious. Axel backtracked in fear and grabbed two of the tattooed men next to him. He pushed them forward and said, "Go on, kill him!"Before the two tattooed men could react, Axel had pushed them hard, making them stumble a few steps forward. Sebastian turned around and aimed a low kick at them. With two sharp cracks, the legs of both tattooed men were broken, and white bone gleamed as it poked out through their pants. "Come on! How are you going to kill me if you're so far away from me?" Within just a few seconds, Sebastian had maimed five people.The other tattooed men were backing away
"I'll grovel! I'll grovel!" Andre endured the intense pain and scrambled up from the floor.The moment his knees hit the floor, a wave of pain traveled up to his heart, and he almost fainted. Before he could steady himself, he felt extreme pain in his other leg."My patience is very limited." Sebastian was stepping on Andre's other leg. He had broken it with just one step of his foot. Andre's face was drained of blood, and he suppressed the immense pain as he groveled to Sebastian on the floor.As he did so, tears streamed down his face. It wasn't because of the pain. It was because his groveling meant the loss of his dignity as Mitchell's grandson. However, Andre did not dare to disobey. After all, the man standing in front of him didn't fear the Gullivers' authority at all! If he didn't grovel, he would die!"How dare you!" A middle-aged man in his 40s flew into the room. He was dressed in snowy-white training clothes.It was Ronnie! When he saw Andre groveling, he almost
"Sebastian Ballard," Sebastian answered, chuckling."Who is your mentor?" Ronnie asked through gritted teeth."You're not worthy of knowing." Sebastian shook his head.Ronnie clutched at his injured arm and backed away step by step.He knew very well that he was no match at all for Sebastian, and he knew that he could not rescue Andre."Are you just going to leave? Don't you care about your son's life anymore?" Sebastian stepped on Andre's arm and broke it."Aargh!" Andre sprawled on the ground without moving as he screamed in pain.It wasn't that he didn't want to move, but Sebastian had broken his spine, and he was completely paralyzed. He could not move even if he wanted to.However, even though he could not move his body, it did not mean that he couldn't feel pain. The pain of his bones shattering made him unable to resist screaming in pain. "Wh-what else do you want? My son's been beaten into a cripple! Are you going to murder him in front of everyone?" Ronnie felt like
"Fine, you're a lot smarter than your son is," Sebastian said. With a light kick, he sent Andre flying off as if he was a football. He landed heavily beside Ronnie."My son!" Ronnie almost fainted with anger when he saw Andre lying on the ground.He could see creamy-white liquid trickling out of Andre's back. Anyone who practiced martial arts would know that it was kidney essence leaking out of his body.That meant that from now on, Andre could no longer reproduce. He couldn't even be a man."You—" Ronnie raised his head and glared angrily at Sebastian as he said, "You're ruthless, Ballard!"Sebastian did not even look at Ronnie. He grabbed Whitney's hand and walked outside.The tattooed men watched them leave nervously, but no one dared to go up and stop them.After Sebastian and Whitney had gone, Ronnie threw himself over Andre's body and burst into tears.He had watched Sebastian swagger off, knowing he couldn't avenge Andre. The hatred in his heart had reached its peak!
Raphael felt that he was already showing Sebastian respect by giving him 5,000 dollars. If it had been anyone else, he wouldn't even have given him 50 cents, let alone 5,000 dollars!Even if he didn't pay a single penny, the mention of the name Demongate should have been enough to make Sebastian hand the Soulbell over to him."Mr. Fonda, you—""Mr. Ballard, as well as everyone here, I hope that you can understand something," Raphael cut Blake off. "The Soulbell has always belonged to Demongate. No matter how Mr. Ballard got it or whom he got it from, he should return it to its rightful owner unconditionally and present it to Demongate."I came personally and even gave Mr. Ballard a tidy sum of money for his hard work. I've done more than I needed to."Raphael clasped his hands behind his back and looked slightly contemptuous as he continued. "I don't just represent myself. I represent all of Demongate."He was clearly threatening them."Are you threatening me?" Sebastian laughed
Sebastian frowned, and he looked icily at Raphael. It had only been two short days since he had killed Terence. How had Raphael gotten the news?"You have a very efficient news network, Mr. Fonda. May I ask how you know that I have the Soulbell?" he asked, his eyes narrowing coldly at Raphael."In this world, you shouldn't do things you don't want people to know about," Raphael said, smiling contemptuously. He clasped his hands behind his back.Raphael was acting as if Sebastian had stolen Demongate's sacred vessel, and he was here to accuse him of doing it. "Mr. Ballard, there are rules in society, and the mystic martial arts sects have their own principles. As for who told me this news, it's not convenient for me to say. I came here today mainly to ask you to give the Soulbell back." Raphael made his intention clear. He clearly had no qualms about doing so.However, Blake frowned as soon as he heard him.According to the rules of the mystic martial arts sects, vessels like the
"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
