Haughtily, Mabel sneered and drove away from the place. After Sebastian finished his meal with Tommy, he returned to the shop and happened to see a familiar-looking car leaving."Mabel?"Sebastian was puzzled but didn't care much. Just then, his phone rang. It was Whitney."Ms. Sutton, what's the matter?" Sebastian asked absentmindedly.Whitney's voice was sharp and unquestionable, saying, "Sebastian, meet me at 1:30 pm at Magnolia Café. I want to speak with you."Later, when Sebastian arrived at Magnolia Café, he spotted Whitney sitting by the window. Arms crossed, she exuded a cold and elegant demeanor, truly fitting of a CEO.Approaching Whitney, Sebastian sat down and smilingly asked, "Ms. Sutton, are you so idle to be inviting me for coffee?""Cut the small talk." Whitney glanced at him and then demanded, "What's the deal with Rosé Corporation?"Sebastian replied with a shrug, "What's the issue?"Whitney scoffed and commented, "Naming a company after another woman. Seba
"My company's research and development team has tested the formula hundreds of times. There are no issues! Since you claim there's a problem, tell me exactly where," Whitney stated curtly.Sebastian frowned slightly and answered, "A minority of consumers may experience skin itching and redness.""That's ridiculous!" Whitney laughed mockingly.She continued, "Sebastian, tell me, which facial mask on the market doesn't have side effects for some people? Are you trying to scare me?"Upon hearing this, Sebastian's expression darkened. "I'm not trying to scare you. I'm just giving you a heads-up.""I don't need it! I know better than you whether the product has issues or not! All you need to do is watch as Frostwave Corporation's new launch sweeps the entire market," Whitney argued and then left the café.Sebastian was helpless. After sitting for a while, he also got up and left.When Whitney returned to the company, she immediately called Mabel and asked, "How much longer until the
Soon, Rosalie drove Sebastian to Artifact Street in West Market.The lively and crowded Artifact Street immediately captivated Sebastian. On both sides of the street were antique shops, with people coming in and out to hunt for treasures. Among them were also tourists.Many vendors had spread various antique pieces for sale on tarps on the ground. Rosalie seemed to enjoy the bustling atmosphere. She looked around while explaining, "Dr. Ballard, this place is similar to Vintage Bazaar in Janover, only much smaller."Sebastian nodded, casually scanning the area. He noticed that most of the items sold by the street vendors were counterfeit. They were deceiving visitors from out of town.He had already seen several tourists happily leaving with fake antiques, thinking they had discovered treasures.After a brief stroll, Sebastian began searching for the medicinal furnace he needed. Quickly, he stopped at one of the stalls.When the tan-skinned vendor saw Sebastian, he enthusiastica
Sebastian sneered as he returned the medicinal furnace to the vendor, turning to leave.Frantically, the vendor cried out, "Wait, sir, are you really interested in buying it?"Sebastian waved his hand dismissively while replying, "I just want to buy a medicinal furnace to make medicine at home. 200 grand is too expensive. I'm thinking 10 to 20 grand would be more reasonable."As he spoke, Sebastian intentionally slowed down his pace.The vendor furrowed his brow. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Fine, 20 grand! I can't go any lower! If you want it, just take it."Sebastian broke into a grin as he turned toward the vendor. "Okay."Rosalie grew anxious and asked, "Dr. Ballard, are you really buying it? This medicinal furnace looks too ordinary and dirty. If you want one, I can arrange for someone to send you a better one later.""Quiet. I have my own plans," Sebastian whispered.Hearing this, Rosalie didn't say another word.Soon, Sebastian paid for the medicinal furnace.
"You!"Leslie's eyes flashed dangerously, and her expression soured.All her life, she had always gotten anything she wanted, and no one had ever dared to go against her like this. Especially not in public!Scumbag!"You're really determined to go against me, right?" Leslie declared lowly as she let out a cold chuckle.She continued, "Do you even know who you're dealing with right now? There's nothing I can't buy in Steinberg, so what makes you think that I can't buy a measly artifact from Artifact Street?"Don't blame me for what I'll do next if you don't give me that medicinal furnace!"What an arrogant, unreasonable, and demanding young woman.Sebastian glanced at Leslie indifferently before he coldly replied, "Is that right? Then, I would love to see what you're going to do next."Leslie was livid, and she screeched, "My grandfather is James Turner!""I've told you, even if your grandfather asked me, my answer wouldn't change," Sebastian replied calmly.Leslie stamped he
As such, with how powerful Butch was, how could he end up coughing blood after one kick from Sebastian?At that moment, Sebastian stalked toward her with the electric baton in hand. Leslie was terrified and cautioned shakily with a pale face, "What… What are you doing! Don't come any closer! Don't you know who I am? I am James Turner's granddaughter, Leslie Turner!""James is truly unfortunate to have a granddaughter like you," Sebastian said coldly.He was just about to teach her a lesson when a black McLaren pulled up on the side of the road.After that, a classy and attractive young woman dressed in a white tracksuit with her hair up in a ponytail got out of the car.Leslie's mood brightened when she saw the young woman, and she waved excitedly as she called, "Lorelai! Here! This bastard is bullying me…"Leslie was clearly the one who had escalated the situation, and yet there she was, shifting the blame onto Sebastian without another thought.Sebastian frowned as he watche
"Shut up! Don't be rude to Dr. Ballard!" James growled as he shot Lorelai a scathing glare.After that, under the curious gazes of everyone present, James slowly made his way to Sebastian and greeted him politely. "Dr. Ballard, I apologize for not raising my granddaughters right and allowing both of them to offend you. I sincerely apologize on behalf of both of them, and I assure you I will discipline both of them when I get home," James said respectfully.Leslie and Lorelai were stunned and wore similar expressions of utter disbelief.James was the patriarch of the Turner family, one of the most powerful families in Steinberg! He was a man with immense power, so why was he being so respectful to this punk?Sebastian chuckled good-naturedly in response, but his glare was sharp as he replied, "Mr. Turner, you're right. You really do need to educate your two granddaughters."James nodded in agreement before he turned to the sisters and spat, "What are you two standing there for? C
Though she had said that she understood, she had other plans."In the future, both of you should get on Dr. Ballard's good side. He just got divorced, so this is the perfect opportunity for you two," James said suddenly.Just one sentence was enough to stun the two sisters into silence."What are you saying, Grandpa? " Lorelai whined as she stomped her feet in embarrassment.Back at his shop, Sebastian took out the medicinal furnace that he just bought and wiped it with a cloth until it was clean.Now that it was clean, Sebastian studied the furnace closer and was shocked by his discovery.This wasn't just any furnace!The inscribing on the furnace seemed to be from thousands of years ago, and did that inscribing say…Leofric?Sebastian's excitement only grew when he saw the name etched on the furnace. This was a furnace that Leofric, the renowned ancient physician, had used! What a lucky discovery!"What is it? Why are you so excited?" Rosalie asked in confusion, her eyes
Ronaldo was not an ordinary person. Sure, he was one of Yutaria's eight great swordsmen—but he also had another identity. He was a top-tier member of the Ilian Priory's eastern branch!Killing Ronaldo was tantamount to issuing a public challenge to the Ilian Priory!The fact that Sebastian could be so bold and daring at his age made it clear that he must have a very formidable ally.Although business moguls possessed limitless wealth, they could not exchange their wealth for life.To those who were truly strong, wealth was just a number. If they wanted to, they could be richer than an entire country. Heston did not know if there were supernatural forces in the world, but he knew that the true experts of martial arts were entities that business moguls could not afford to offend. Even the prominent families of Draepolis could only maintain the prosperity of their families by developing connections with the martial arts community.The rich who did not have any connections with th
"Are you satisfied now, Cruz?" Sebastian asked impassively as he clasped his hands behind his back.Sebastian stood erect while Ronaldo was sprawled on the floor, spitting out blood. There was nothing more to be said.Ronaldo panted heavily as he said, "I won't accept defeat even if I die!""Remember not to come to Dramon in your next life, you Yutarian beast!" Sebastian unleashed another punch on him.It was a concise blow that contained great force. There was a dull explosion, and Ronaldo immediately morphed into a bloody cloud of mist before dispersing in the air.There was a clang. The Yutarian longsword fell to the ground after losing its owner. Caspian had gone as pale as a sheet with fear. He was sweating profusely and shaking like a leaf.Sebastian had shocked him immensely. It was no wonder the Dunhills were doing everything they could to help Sebastian. He was an amazing entity who was on an entirely different level from Caspian!The Wellers would be sure to pros
The most ironic thing was that Wilfred had been scorning Sebastian for being arrogant, but now he did not dare to look down on him at all.Lexi was dazed by Sebastian's move. Was Sebastian really that powerful?Why had Wilfred been unable to tell how skilled he really was?Ronaldo clenched his teeth. No matter how skilled he was at the mystic arts, it would be no use if he could not determine the position of his opponent.In the end, he had no choice but to make up his mind. He pulled out his Yutarian longsword and charged at the shadows.He swung his sword several times, but they all came up empty. He found himself surrounded by over ten shadows instead. Ronaldo held his Yutarian longsword with both hands and closed his eyes tightly. He was trying to sense Sebastian's position based on instinct alone.Although he could feel Sebastian getting closer to him, his position kept changing. "Idiot!" Ronaldo clenched his teeth. Sebastian was the most challenging opponent he had ever
As one of the eight main sects of Yutaria, the Northern Divine Swords could not tolerate the insults and slander of a young man who was barely out of puberty."I don't know who he is, and I'm not interested. If you want to fight, then hurry it up. I haven't even finished eating." Sebastian yawned impatiently.How cocky! He was being extremely arrogant!Wilfred's eyes were bulging with rage. He gritted his teeth as he stared at Sebastian. He was hoping that Sebastian would be chopped up into pieces by Ronaldo!Lexi's lips had turned purple with anger. Where did Sebastian get the confidence to brag like that?How could he be so cocky with Ronaldo? It was no wonder so many people wanted to kill him!"Young man, why don't you just admit your wrongdoings? That old Yutarian man seems pretty formidable!""Yeah, you should live to fight another day! We'll have plenty of opportunities to deal with him in the future. Just waiting for him to die will be an easy victory for you!""Young ma
Caspian was actually very afraid. Although he did not know who Ronaldo was, even Wilfred was kneeling. One could imagine just how frightening Ronaldo must be.How could Sebastian still be chatting and laughing with Caspian as if nothing was happening?Lexi clenched her fists tightly. Even the Bachs had to kneel in front of Ronaldo. How could Sebastian speak to him in that tone?She wanted nothing more than for Ronaldo to kill Sebastian at once!"You're very cocky, young man!" Ronaldo narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Sebastian.However, he sensed that Sebastian was extremely dangerous—and the woman beside him felt just as threatening.Ronaldo even suspected that he would not be able to last more than one move from that woman!However, the young man's training was a mystery. No matter how much Ronaldo scrutinized him, Sebastian just seemed like an ordinary person who did not know any martial arts.His experience told him that people like that were usually the most dangerous
Wilfred fell to his knees in fear.He was not embarrassed to cower before this man. After all, he was Ronaldo!He was a legend from the Culter Sect of Yutaria. Less than 100 people in Dramon were his equals.He could kill Wilfred in less than ten moves. How could Wilfred not be afraid?Ronaldo walked out and pointed at the wide hall. "Get out here this instant!" "I'm coming! I'm coming!" Wilfred smiled widely and crawled out to the great hall. When Caspian saw how Wilfred was debasing himself, he scoffed and asked Lexi, "Is that how hot-blooded the Bachs are? That was truly eye-opening.""You don't know anything, Caspian! Mr. Baye is just adapting to the situation!" Lexi shrieked."Do all the Bachs crawl on the ground to adapt?" Sebastian laughed scornfully."You bastard! I'm going to tell Mr. Baye what the two of you said later. Just wait! You're both going to die!" Lexi rushed out of the room angrily.Outside, the onlookers hadn't dispersed. They were all watching the sho
"Hmph! You bastards are accomplices of those human traffickers! You deserve to die!" Wilfred strode over to one of the Yutarian youths and crushed three of his ribs with one foot. When Wilfred saw that the Yutarian youth had fainted from the pain, he went over smugly to the remaining youth and said, "If you don't want to end up like him, then kneel to me and apologize to the people of Dramon!"Wilfred looked righteous and felt a sense of accomplishment. Compared to Sebastian and Nina, he felt that he truly embodied what a Dramonian Warrior should be!"Idiot!" The Yutarian youths exploded in anger at once and swung their fists at Wilfred.They were no match for Wilfred at all, and both of them ended up on the floor in a puddle of their own blood.Several of the onlookers looked at Wilfred with gazes of admiration.Everyone hated human traffickers. Everyone had children, and no one wanted to have their child snatched away on the streets.These Yutarians were allegedly found to
The surrounding onlookers all gave Wilfred a thumbs-up."Good slap! They need to be taught a lesson!""Beat these dogs up, old man!""Yeah! This is the territory of Dramon!"The onlookers were all cheering Wilfred on, and he grinned smugly.He glanced disdainfully at Sebastian and the others, who were still sitting inside. Those cowardly young people weren't even brave enough to teach a few Yutarian youths a lesson! What an embarrassment to Dramon!"Ms. Bach, I don't think that Mr. Weller is suitable to be your husband. What a coward! I think that a weakling like him is only suited to hanging out with a milksop like Sebastian!" Wilfred's lip curled, and he sneered.Lexi had been annoyed with Caspian already. Sebastian was clearly ignoring her existence, and Caspian had simply let him do so!Now, a Dramonian was being bullied right here in their own country by Yutarians, but Sebastian hadn't made a single peep. If Caspian became her husband, how could she hold her head up high
Wilfred was just lucky that Nina hadn't had much of an appetite for the past few days. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have any bones left after what he had just said.Nina was spooning ice cream into her mouth. It was the first time she had eaten something so delicious.Although Nina had had a corporeal body before, she hadn't been able to eat at all. Even if she did eat, she couldn't taste anything.After using Sebastian's training technique, Nina could now eat and drink like a normal person. She just hadn't had the chance to taste all the delicious food in the world yet. "My lor—Sebastian, I never knew that ice cream tasted so good!" Nina said as she dug out a spoonful and fed to Sebastian.Sebastian could not let Nina refer to him as her lord when they were out, as it would make people misunderstand, so he had asked her to refer to him by his name. Sebastian tasted it and nodded. "Yes, this ice cream is pretty good."Nina giggled and said, "My saliva tastes good too."Sebasti
