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
Angus suppressed his anger and thought for a moment before saying, "You're right. Let him stay, then."Angus waved at one of the men in black suits behind him. His name was Luther Hart, and he was the head of security for Angus' guards.Luther went up to Angus and bent down. Angus said to him in a low voice, "Tell the men on the first floor to bring that young man back.""Alright." Luther turned and went to the corridor, where he said into a walkie-talkie, "Listen up, Team One! A young man is going to walk out of the elevator soon. When he does, bring him back!""Yes, sir!" someone answered on the other end."Serve the tea!" Angus instructed, leaning back in his chair. Seeing that Angus had the intention of letting Sebastian return, both Wilbur and Fernando had no choice but to wait patiently.At that moment, Sebastian's elevator reached the first floor. When the elevator doors opened, a black-clad man said to him, "May I ask for your name, sir?""Sebastian Ballard," Sebastian
"Didn't you say that you wanted to break my legs? It'll be your turn soon. I'm going to break both your legs into at least a hundred pieces!" Sebastian said. He suddenly moved like lightning and felled the remaining two black-clad men. Like the three before them, they all had one leg broken, and they fell to the ground, howling in pain.The black-clad man who had first tried to stop Sebastian had broken out in a cold sweat.He had never imagined that Sebastian would be so ferocious and calculated. Breaking a leg seemed to be as normal to him as breaking a stick. "Your turn!" Sebastian smiled as he walked toward the black-clad man. "You… you… Don't come here!" the black-clad man said, his voice trembling.Sebastian flashed a harmless smile at him and said, "Didn't you say that I wasn't allowed to leave and that you would break my legs? Now that I'm coming back, you want me not to go over there?""Don't come here!" the black-clad man yelled as he backed away swiftly."Are yo
Fernando took out a piece of paper right in front of Angus and drew a Soul Return charm.When Angus saw this, he nodded approvingly. He had met many so-called experts before, but Fernando was the first one who could draw a charm right in front of him!Fernando's fingers moved like a sword. He pointed at the bundle of sandalwood and called firmly, "Come, fire!"There was a whoosh, and a ball of scarlet flames appeared out of thin air!When Fernando saw the bundle of sandalwood begin to send up tendrils of smoke, Fernando raised his hand and slapped the paper charm on Brett's back!At first, Brett felt warm and very comfortable.However, after less than ten minutes, a chill rose from the bottom of his heart. Brett immediately began convulsing, and he looked as if he was about to start frothing at the mouth when he suddenly fainted."W-What's going on?" Angus stared at his precious son, who was now unconscious. He was immediately furious."I… I have no idea what happened!" Fernand
Ambrose got through to Sebastian's phone very quickly, and he let Angus take the call."You answer it! Tell him to get back here and treat my son!" Angus said to Luther.Sebastian wasn't worthy of speaking directly to Angus! If it weren't for the fact that Brett was in a dangerous situation, he would never have forgiven Sebastian for maiming so many of his bodyguards.He was already being very gracious in not sending anyone to cause trouble for Sebastian. Telling him to get back there was giving him a chance to redeem himself."Hello?" Because the phone was on speaker mode, everyone could hear Sebastian's voice. "Our boss wants you to be back here in ten minutes!" Luther said in a commanding tone."Your boss? Who does he think he is?" Sebastian said, displeased."Get back here and treat my son!" Angus yelled angrily at the phone. "What does it matter to me whether your son lives or dies? Who do you think you are? Not everyone has to obey your every word." Sebastian hung up.
When Sebastian walked into the hospital room, he glanced at the young man lying on the bed. The top half of his body was naked, and there were countless tubes stuck into him.Under his bronzed skin, his muscles bulged slightly, and there were all kinds of wounds all over his body.It was hard to imagine how many life-and-death situations he had experienced.Sebastian touched Landon's pulse. His brow was furrowed as he thought deeply for a long time before taking out his silver needles. Very slowly, he plunged them into the acupoint in the center of Landon's chest. He began to transmit a tendril of vital energy into him through the silver needle.After that, he let Zane and Gavin help him pull out all the tubes stuck in Landon's body as he continued to give him acupuncture. After about an hour, Sebastian finally pulled out all the silver needles and said, "He's pretty much out of danger. He'll wake up tomorrow morning. Luckily, the bullet's already been removed. Otherwise, the co
"Die!" As Luther spoke, he raised his leg and aimed a side kick at Sebastian. He was surprisingly fast, and he used all his strength.Sebastian smiled slightly and raised an arm to block the blow. Then, he threw a punch at Luther's chest.Luther dodged quickly, but he was still half a beat too slow. When he saw that Sebastian's punch was about to land, he hastily used both arms to shield his chest.There was a thump as Luther was sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground.Luther had been defeated with just one move."You're asking to die!" Luther stood up and charged toward Sebastian once more. There was a gleam as a dagger appeared in his hand."Be careful, Mr. Ballard!" Gavin cried out. Luther's dagger was going straight for Sebastian's throat at a fast speed. It seemed as if the blow would kill Sebastian, but he suddenly saw Sebastian smile calmly.When the dagger was only an inch away from Sebastian, he suddenly disappeared.Shocked, Luther tried to turn, but it was
"Pay you? Keep dreaming!" Kayden roared. "I'm telling you, even if I were to set fire to this entire building, no one would dare to make me pay a penny! Smashing this tiny hotel up is nothing!" He continued, "You came at just the right time. Today is the day I'm going to show you how I have some fun with your lady!"Kayden suddenly had an extremely evil thought. He would make the men from the law enforcement hall restrain Sebastian before he stripped Nina naked right in front of him. He was thrilled at the thought, and he was getting even more exhilarated. It wasn't the first time he had done such a thing, but he had never toyed with a woman as beautiful as Nina. The thought of having such a beautiful woman under him filled him with excitement. "Oh? Do you really think that you can do as you wish with such a small number of men?"Sebastian's gaze swept over the men from the law enforcement team. Over half of them had participated in wiping out the Lynches, and they were dee
Kayden grinned slyly as he spoke. The reason he hated Sebastian so much wasn't only because of how badly the latter had beaten him up. What was more important was why someone like Sebastian would have such a beautiful woman with him!Kayden was the heir of the Berkeleys. He was the most influential heir in the whole of Acorn City! When compared with Nina, Candy was practically a country bumpkin. Kayden couldn't stand the drastic difference between the two women. Didn't all beautiful women like rich men?Shouldn't beautiful women be vying for the attention of wealthy heirs instead?Sebastian was just a charlatan who went around tricking people! How could he have such a beautiful woman as his companion?Kayden was determined to make Nina one of his conquests by the end of that day so that she could see how impressive he was. Even if Sebastian died, Kayden wanted to make sure to cuckold him even in death!"Mr. Berkeley, t-this isn't appropriate!"Although Rocco did not know
Not long after Kayden had reached the Aequor, over a dozen ambulances pulled up opposite the hotel and waited there. "Rocco, get out here!" Kayden yelled toward the manager's office as soon as he reached the restaurant on the third floor. Rocco had received the news as soon as Kayden walked into the hotel. He had been scared witless when he saw Kayden storm in. Sebastian hadn't been back for two nights. He might have been killed by the Berkeleys! Without Sebastian's support, how could Rocco oppose them?To Kayden, killing Rocco would be as easy as crushing a bug. "What should I do, what should I do? Oh God, oh holy mother of gods! What should I do, damn it!" Rocco ran wildly around his office. He didn't even know which god to pray to for protection. "Rocco! If you don't get out here, I'll burn your office down!" Kayden shouted once more. Rocco's heart almost stopped at the mention of fire. He pushed the door open quickly and scurried over to Kayden. "Mr. Berkeley, plea
Kayden soon received news of how Sebastian had broken into the Berkeley clan hall the night before.He was furious. Who did Sebastian think he was? Was the Berkeleys' clan hall the kind of place that people could just walk in and out of as they pleased?"Mr. Berkeley, shall we go and see the clan hall later? After all, Ms. Candy is still there," Jayden said in an ingratiating tone.He had only managed to latch onto Kayden through his connection with Colton. This was a rare opportunity for him to make a comeback.That was why he had spent quite a large sum of money on Kayden recently. He had already gifted him over a dozen high-quality emerald pieces.Kayden wouldn't have been impressed by him if he hadn't done so."Do we need to? Sebastian is sure to die this time! Rocco is annoying me more right now. How dare he neglect me just because he thinks he's found a strong ally in Sebastian?"Kayden had seen clearly how obsequious and respectful Rocco had been to Sebastian while ignori
"You've done many evil deeds, and it's time for the Berkeleys to be destroyed!" Sebastian exclaimed. He summoned back his 18 clones with a single thought while he raised Purity. "No!" Violet screamed at the top of her lungs.There was a dull thump, and a head flew high into the air. A dark energy that looked both like a snake and like a human shot out at once. Sebastian wasn't going to let her have a chance of escaping. He tossed out four yellow paper charms at the same time. They formed a Nullcurse Spell and trapped both of Violet's souls within it."When I say die, I mean that your soul and spirit will be destroyed! You won't have a chance at finding another host!"Sebastian raised his palm and upturned it slightly as he said, "Destroy!""Sebastian, you'll come to a tragic end!"There was a blast as countless bolts of gold light burst forth and pierced the dark shadow, which looked both like a snake and a human.In the blink of an eye, the dark figure had disintegrated in t
In the end, even the scales on Lucius' body had been swiped off by the blows. Huge pieces of scales were torn off his body along with his skin and flesh. With every piece of scale that was torn off, he let out a bloodcurdling scream."Aargh! Please have mercy! I won't ever act recklessly again! Have mercy!"Lucius was now completely bloodied from the beating he had received. He was covered with wounds that went deep to the bone, and he was bleeding profusely. Even Violet couldn't bear to look at him.He no longer had the dignity of the ancestral being of the Berkeleys, and he had lost his domineering air. "You won't? Hmph! What are you going to say about that snake curse in her, then?" Sebastian asked, pointing at Candy. Lucius almost burst into tears. He didn't know anything about what they had done to Candy. Besides, once the soul of a snake began to merge with that of a human, they would become an entwined soul.He had only ever heard of a secret art that could separate an e
Lucius panicked at once. His clones couldn't make different moves, but Sebastian's attacks were all coming from different directions. How could he dodge them?A bolt of blue light slashed down on the head of one of Lucius' clones. He dodged to the side quickly while leaping up to dodge the other five swords. However, before he could land, he spat out a mouthful of blood.Although his original form had escaped from harm, his clones had been killed immediately. Although they were only his clones, they were very closely connected to his true form because of how truncated his Cloning Technique was compared to the original. That was why the backlash was particularly strong when his clones were killed."Just one move and both are already dead? Your Cloning Technique really isn't much!"Sebastian's 18 clones had surrounded the severely injured Lucius and were covering over a dozen different directions."How could this be? How could you have such an orthodox Cloning Spell passed dow
"How is that possible?"Lucius looked as if he was in disbelief when he saw that Sebastian had cut through the coal-black silk threads so easily. Sebastian appeared in front of him in an instant, and he raised Purity to slash at him.Right at the moment when the sword energy was about to touch Lucius' clothes, the air around them seemed to ripple violently. Lucius shot backward several feet as if he were a phantom, and he dodged Sebastian's attack."You're truly extraordinary!"There was a gleam in Lucius' dark eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to blur out of sight before splitting into three identical figures! Even the coal-black knife in his hand was exactly the same. "You didn't expect that, did you, young man? That's our lord's secret cloning technique!" Violet laughed triumphantly. Sebastian now had to fight against three on his own, which would be certain to end in his death. So what if he could break through the binding of the coal-black silk threads?
The handsome youth's name was Lucius Vipera. He grinned evilly and said, "You're the first person who's had the guts to insult me. You will pay!""My lord!"Violet hastily bowed to Lucius, too afraid to even look up at him.Lucius ignored her and strode toward Sebastian."Young man, you are extraordinary. To have accomplished so much in your 20s isn't an easy feat. If you apologize to the Berkeleys and promise to never oppose us again, I can consider letting you go today!" he said coldly in a manner that brooked no argument. Sebastian scoffed and shook his head as he said disdainfully, "You're not also planning to make me grovel to you in apology, are you?"While they all looked on in shock, Sebastian seemed to flicker out of focus, leaving behind a line of shadows as he rushed toward Lucius.Lucius narrowed his eyes and huffed coldly. "With your paltry skills, are you really going to—"Before he could finish, Sebastian's slap landed. There was a cold flash, which Lucius has
