"I don't know where he is specifically. Jace's movements have been very peculiar recently. Even that minor celebrity he's keeping as a sugar baby can't find him, let alone me." Orlando was telling the truth.Since Jace had left Steinberg and returned to Sunway, he had changed his address at least three times. He was worried that Sebastian would come knocking one day.Sebastian looked down at Orlando for a long time. When he was sure Orlando was telling the truth, he walked over to Jayden.Jayden wet his pants with fright when he saw Sebastian walking toward him.He wanted to run, but he felt as if his legs had been filled with lead. They were pinned to the ground, and he could not move at all. Sebastian patted Jayden's face gently and laughed as he said, "Mr. Stallone, I can pretend that the events of the past didn't happen at all. However, I don't want to see you at Frostwave Corporation again. Otherwise, you'll end up in an even worse state than Mr. Gulliver. Do you understand?
Sebastian returned to the Moonlyte Club and gave Rosalie and Gavin a few instructions before he pulled out his phone to call Zane."Mr. Ballard, do you have some free time right now?" Zane said over the phone."Yes. You can come and get me now. I'll go and do acupuncture for Elias." Sebastian hung up at once.Two hours after that, Sebastian did acupuncture for Elias once more.After the second treatment, Elias' condition had improved markedly. His heart rate and breathing were becoming more and more stable. Ambrose walked Sebastian to the main doors of the hospital himself. He said, "Mr. Ballard, I'm so thankful for everything you've done for Elias. Here's a token of my appreciation. I hope that you can accept it."Sebastian looked at the check that Ambrose was holding out. He smiled and said, "Mr. Rosenchild, I didn't do much. I won't take the money. Please take it back."When Ambrose saw that Sebastian's attitude was firm, he thought for a moment, then nodded slightly and sai
Sebastian was being honest. Rose was a gorgeous woman, but he felt that she was very dangerous.Rose burst into laughter and shook her head, saying, "You shouldn't be nervous about me. You should be nervous about Jeffrey.""He came back to Steinberg to kill you! You have to be careful with this man," Rose said. She got up to leave."Why did you tell me this?" Sebastian could not believe that Rose would have good intentions."I just don't want to see you die all of a sudden. Even if you do die, I should be the one who kills you."Rose smiled charmingly.Sebastian was only dazed for a second, but she had already disappeared into the crowd."Jeffrey?" Sebastian stood up slowly, repeating the name on his lips.…Under the night sky, a buff middle-aged man wearing black was standing on the bridge over the river, watching the river flow noisily under it.It was Jeffrey, and he had just returned from Holand."Sebastian, you killed my brother and hurt my nephew. I am going to make
"Mr. Ballard, how confident are you?" Ambrose asked, staring nervously at Sebastian."80%!" Sebastian answered calmly.Sebastian was actually just being modest.Sweat beaded on Ambrose's forehead. An 80% rate of success was still much too low when a life was at stake.Besides, the one that was hovering between life and death on the hospital bed was his son!After an hour's treatment, Elias finally opened his eyes. "Elias!""Elias!" Ambrose, Arabella, and Zane lunged forward almost simultaneously."Dad, Mom?" Elias looked weakly at his parents, then turned to Zane and said, "Zane!""Elias, you've only just recovered. Don't be in such a hurry to talk, and rest well," Arabella said, holding her son's hand and looking at him sorrowfully. "Elias, recoverwell. Augustine and I will come to visit you frequently. Also, remember that if you ever go racing again, you and I will no longer be friends!" Zane's eyes had become wet when he saw that Elias had finally woken up.Elias only
Ambrose asked immediately. He wanted to strike while the iron was hot. "Alright. Let's go right away." Sebastian turned and said to Zane, "Wait for me here. I'll be back soon.""Mr. Ballard, if anything happens - oh, forget it. I'll just wait for you here. It'll be no use calling me, because I can't do anything to help," Zane said, scratching his head.The Northmans did have some connections in Sartvale, but Zane was very self-aware and knew that with his status and influence, he could never compare with someone from Janover. Even if anything did happen to Sebastian, he would not be able to help. Sebastian patted Zane's shoulder and got into the car with Ambrose.…The Elysium was one of the most luxurious clubs in Sunway.Ambrose's car was only about half a mile away from the Elysium when the security on the roads suddenly became very tight.The scale of the security made it seem as if there was an inspection from the higher-ups going on."Is this really necessary?" Sebas
When Sebastian and Ambrose walked into the luxurious presidential suite on the fifth floor, two people were already waiting for them there.One of them was a well-dressed, middle-aged man who was about 40 years old. The moment he saw Ambrose, he couldn't help being startled.Beside him was an old man in his 50s with white hair. The old man wore spectacles and was dressed in a long robe. A sack was slung over his shoulder, and the sack had a picture of the Eightfold Symbol embroidered on it.Ambrose was equally startled to see the middle-aged man. He laughed coldly and said, "Wilbur Quinton. What are you doing here?"The middle-aged man in his 40s laughed coldly as well and said, "I'm here to discuss business, of course. I'm sure you came to do the same, Mr. Rosenchild.""Hmph!" Ambrose huffed coldly and ignored him. He went to sit on the sofa opposite them with Sebastian."Mr. Rosenchild, Mr. Quinton, nice to meet the both of you. I apologize for my lack of hospitality."A middle
The young man was Brett Dunhill, Angus' only son!Ten years ago, he had fallen into a dried-up well while playing outside, and he had been like this ever since.Angus felt extremely anxious whenever he saw how dazed Brett was. If Brett remained this way forever, control of the Dunhill family might end up in the hands of a branch family.However, they had seen all the most famous doctors and practitioners of various arts all over the country, but there had been no improvement at all."Mr. Dunhill, I don't think your son has the most common form of Vacant Soul syndrome. A few years ago, I learned medicine with an expert. I wonder if I could take your son's pulse?" Fernando asked, standing up. "Of course you can," Angus said, smiling.A maid standing at the sides of the room came to help Brett roll up his sleeves and expose his wrist.When Brett held out his wrist, Sebastian's eyes gleamed.There was a faint black line on Brett's wrist. If one didn't look too closely, it could be
Ambrose had been planning to say that Sebastian had saved Elias' life, but he changed his mind as it seemed rather inappropriate."Are you a doctor?" Angus asked, frowning. The truth was that Angus had been to see countless doctors, both traditional and modern. He had already spoken to all the famous doctors in the country, but it had been completely useless.Finally, at the suggestion of a geomancer, Angus had found a mystic arts expert.However, even if Sebastian was a traditional medicine doctor, he only looked a couple of years older than Brett. How could he know anything at such a young age?Sebastian nodded slightly and said, "Yes.""Then… How long have you been practicing medicine?" Angus asked, looking contemptuous. Sebastian couldn't help frowning. Angus was obviously looking down on him!"Three years," Sebastian answered impassively."What did you say? Who do you think my son is? Do you think he's your guinea pig?" Angus was furious when he heard that Sebastian ha
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
