The yellow paper charm drifted gently onto Brett's forehead.A blast of white light enveloped Brett at once."Mr. Dunhill, your son will wake up in about an hour's time. Make this mound of graveyard dirt into a sachet and let him keep it with him at all times. After a month, he'll be as good as new," Sebastian said as he handed the graveyard dirt to Angus."Go and get me a sachet!" Angus instructed.After a while, the sachet was ready. Sebastian instructed them to crush some medicinal herbs and smear them on Luther's wound."I'll give you another prescription. Let him take the medicine on time, and he'll be fully recovered within a month," Sebastian said. He took some pen and paper, wrote a prescription, and handed it to a bodyguard. "Go and get the medicinal herbs," Angus ordered.The black-clad bodyguards turned and left after receiving Angus' permission."Mr. Ballard, I have a small gift that I hope you'll accept," Angus said. He took a square, redwood box from a black-cl
There was a glint in Angus' eyes as he looked at Sebastian.Silas' health was deteriorating, and without him around, the Dunhills would lose their main pillar of support.The so-called renowned doctors, even those in Draepolis, could not do anything about it at all.However, Sebastian had given Angus hope.There were many prestigious families in Janover, but what they all competed in was how long the head of the family could live.For instance, the Tamson family had once been very glamorous, but it was now less than a third-rate family. It had lost all its influence among the prominent families when the head of the family, Archie Tamson, passed away three years ago. The Dunhills would face the same thing one day because no one could live forever. However, as long as Silas could hold on, it would give the Dunhills precious time to develop further."Mr. Ballard, are you interested in going on a trip to Janover?" Angus said, smiling wolfishly at him. He was now no longer hostile
Ambrose was secretly impressed by Theodore's bravery. How could he covet something that belonged to someone else? He had taken Angus' 1000-year-old fawnleaf for free and did not look guilty at all.An hour passed very quickly.When a few bodyguards helped Brett up, it was clear to see that his complexion was rosier, and his eyes were shining. He looked much more energetic than he had before."Brett, how do you feel?" Angus asked in concern."Dad, I'm all better! I feel like I have limitless strength right now. That well that kept popping up in my mind is gone, too," Brett said happily. "Good, good!" Angus laughed heartily, which was an unusual occurrence for him.Brett's condition was cured! He would be able to hand over the entire Dunhill fortune to his own son in the future, and he would no longer have to worry about someone from a branch of the Dunhill family snatching their assets."What about our contract, Mr. Dunhill?" Ambrose asked, grabbing the opportunity."Alright, a
It wasn't because Sebastian had powerful allies at all! That was why Larry had come looking for Sebastian, and he had brought reinforcements.At that moment, Rosalie rushed over. "Sebastian, you're finally back! He's even injured the manager and the security guards. Besides that, the police are refusing to pick up the phone. If you hadn't come back, I really wouldn't have any idea what to do," Rosalie said anxiously.Sebastian patted her shoulder gently and said, "It's alright. I'm here. Let's go in."When Sebastian and Rosalie walked inside, they saw that the floor was covered with shards from smashed beer bottles. Three escorts were huddled in a corner of the room, weeping bitterly. "We meet again, Mr. Larry." Sebastian grinned and pushed the security guard, gesturing for him to go out. The security guard looked as if he had been granted a huge mercy and ran out of the room."Ballard, what a small world. I came specially to see you today," Larry said, smiling scornfully.Seb
"How dare you?" Sebastian asked coldly. He looked up at the security cameras above them.Right after that, a silver needle shot out from between his fingers. There was a cracking sound as the camera was smashed by the silver needle."Do you have a death wish? How dare you attack Larry?" Benaiah Laird was furious when he saw that Sebastian had sent Larry flying with one punch, as if the latter was nothing more than a punching bag.Jesse Zinder stood up and grabbed a wine bottle. He stared fixedly at Sebastian.Sebastian wiped away the blood on his head and said to Rosalie, "Go and keep guard outside. Don't let anyone in."Rosalie was extremely smart. Sebastian had taken those two blows because he wanted the security cameras to catch the footage. No matter what Sebastian did to the young men next, it would be in self-defense. "Don't worry, no one is going to disturb you," Rosalie said. She turned elegantly and walked away, closing the door tightly behind her. "I've never liked u
Sebastian punched Benaiah in the stomach, and it hurt so much that he curled up like a shrimp, trembling uncontrollably. There was a crack as Benaiah's arm broke. It hurt so much that he began to wail. "Sebastian… you're too much! If you let me go now, I'll spare your life!" Benaiah had broken into a cold sweat from the pain, but he was still trying to speak in a tough manner to Sebastian. Sebastian laughed out of sheer anger and kicked Benaiah's left leg so hard that it broke. Benaiah was convulsing with pain, but Sebastian deprived him of the privilege of fainting. He pricked a silver needle into one of the major acupuncture points so that Benaiah's endurance would become much higher than the average person's. No matter how painful it was, Benaiah would be able to remain conscious. "Sebastian, what do you want?" Tears streamed down Benaiah's face. He was bleeding profusely, and he had had an arm and a leg broken. It was so painful that he felt as if he were about to have
Benaiah and Jesse were both dumbstruck by what they had seen. Larry was in so much pain that he could no longer even shout. Every time there was a crack, his body convulsed. Finally, there was only the sound of bones cracking while Larry remained still. Only his pupils constricted or dilated when his bones were broken. Every bone in his body was now broken, and no matter how painful it was, he could no longer control his body. He could only shudder instinctively. "Mr. Ballard! We were wrong, and we're willing to pay for your losses!" Jesse clutched his bleeding abdomen and fell to his knees in front of Sebastian. Benaiah was equally frightened. Larry was in a terrible state, and when Benaiah thought of how he had also smashed a bottle over Sebastian's head, he fervently wished that he could chop his own hand off. "Mr. Ballard, I… I was ordered to do this…" Benaiah also wanted to kneel, but with a broken arm and leg, he could not move at all. "Pay for my losses?" Sebastian
However, Griffin would be dead!He wasn't an idiot. Someone who had members of the Security Department standing guard must be extremely important. Firstly, he only had 20 or 30 officers. Even if he brought the entire squad, he still wouldn't be able to touch a hair on Sebastian's head. Griffin handed his gun over.The man in the suit took it and pointed upstairs. "Room 302. Go!"Griffin ran up the stairs, feeling as if his legs had been filled with lead.There were 46 steps from the first floor to the third floor, and it took Griffin almost ten minutes to walk up. When he pushed the door to Room 302 open, the first thing he saw was Larry, who was lying still on the floor. There were blood all around him.Griffin's scalp prickled.Right after that, he saw Benaiah holding onto his leg with one hand while one arm drooped uselessly by the side of his body.Griffin clenched his teeth. When he saw that Benaiah's leg and arm had been broken, his heart ached so much that it felt l
"Violet!" Candy stared at Violet in terror, because the latter now looked frightening. The flesh and skin on her face were peeling off, and pale white bone was already showing on her chin.It wouldn't take long before she became a living skeleton.Violet glanced at her hands, of which only bone was left. There was a look of shock in her eyes, but she still had another trick up her sleeve.As she cackled sinisterly, her body began recovering rapidly. All her skin was growing back, and the new flesh and skin that grew was as smooth as that of a baby's."Young man, do you really think that I would have no way to break that spell?" Violet looked at her newly grown skin and flesh and laughed triumphantly. Sebastian waggled a finger slightly and asked, "Break it? It's not that easy. That was just the beginning!"As soon as he finished, he moved in a flash and leaped down from the roof. All Violet saw was a shadow flashing past her.There was a series of resounding slaps, and Violet f
At the same time, clouds of dark energy flowed toward Sebastian and enveloped him.He felt a strong, restrictive power enveloped him, which made it hard to even lift a finger.It was a mystic spell unique to Violet. Anyone enveloped by the dark energy would have no choice but to stand still and wait for death to come, no matter how powerful they were. A mystic spell like that was similar to the one Sebastian had just displayed, but it was much more bizarre and harder to detect. Countless experts in the mystic spells had died from Violet's move. In the end, she had sucked up all their blood essence, and they had become nutrition for her.That was why she was sure that Sebastian would suffer the same fate. "Young man, are you unable to speak now?" Violet taunted as she circled Sebastian. She now felt that Sebastian was like a lamb to the slaughter—she could do with him as she pleased.However, she didn't want to let him die too quickly. He had committed an unforgivable sin in
The dark green liquid was venom!Sebastian hastily leaped onto the roof of a villa to dodge the attack."Hey, you old hag! Aren't you afraid that you'll end up without any descendants if you treat your granddaughter-in-law like that?" Sebastian questioned mockingly. Violet wasn't angry at all. She laughed instead and said, "Ballard, your reverse psychology won't work on me. Let's see how you kill her!"She cackled again.Human life meant nothing to her, and Candy was just a puppet that the Berkeleys had found. They only wanted to use her body to raise the snake curse until it took over her body completely, after which she could give birth to a true snake spirit baby for them!"Don't regret it, you old hag!"Sebastian suddenly raised his hand, and a strong force immediately weighed down heavily on them."Restrain!"He pressed his palms down in the air as he spoke."Restrain?" A smile had just begun to flash across Violet's face, but then her expression stiffened.The stron
Sebastian looked up at the shadowy figures, among which there were children. They were probably the Flemin Village inhabitants who had disappeared without a trace overnight 30 years ago!"Not only did you commit murder, you even wanted to imprison them here forever! You're unbelievably cruel! Also, what kind of grudge does your family have against that young woman?" Sebastian asked accusingly as he pointed at Candy.Although Candy had been hostile toward Sebastian from the beginning, he knew that it wasn't out of her own will. It was the will of the snake that had merged with her soul. "You are far too nosy, young man. How do you know the young woman doesn't want to become part of our family? Perhaps she's thrilled at the very thought right now!" Violet cackled. Sebastian took a deep breath. He looked at the shadowy figures around him and at Candy, who was standing at the window."I'll give you one chance," he said. "Let them all go and remove the snake curse from that young wom
Sebastian let out a turbid breath. He could feel that his strength was much stronger than before. He still wasn't in peak condition, but it was still wonderful news to him. At least he had now restored more than half his powers. Sebastian had just gotten up and stretched when he heard a series of knocks on the door."Mr. Ballard, time to eat!" Scott said tentatively. He was terrified of disturbing him.Sebastian answered, "I'll be out soon!"When Scott saw Sebastian, he realized that the latter no longer looked as pale as he had at first, and there was a slight rosy tinge to his complexion. He smiled and said, "Mr. Ballard, you're looking pretty good today!"Sebastian only smiled impassively but didn't respond. They returned to the Martial Arts Court building, where a large platter of meat had already been placed on the table for Sebastian."Mr. Ballard, we don't have much to eat here. Apart from game, all we have is beef. I was afraid that you wouldn't be accustomed to it,
Perhaps the tiger's instincts had alerted it to the feeling of danger. "Bind!"Just as the tiger turned to escape into the forest, Sebastian gave a curt command. In an instant, an invisible pressure bound the tiger tightly where it was. The tiger had its back to Sebastian, but it could feel death approaching, and it couldn't help growling mournfully. Sebastian slapped the back of the tiger's head, and he destroyed half the tiger's body instantly."Holy sh—Mr. Ballard!"Scott stared at Sebastian in shock. What he had just witnessed was beyond the scope of his imagination. Even the legends of warriors fighting against tigers had described a life-and-death struggle. However, this particular tiger hadn't been able to fight back against Sebastian at all!Sebastian looked at the glistening heaps of blood and flesh on the ground, and he pulled out a dozen porcelain bottles. He filled five of them with tiger blood, then hacked off a large chunk of tiger meat, which he placed in a p
Kayden watched Sebastian walk off and gritted his teeth. "Sebastian Ballard! If you dare to return to Acorn City, I'll make sure you die a horrible death!""Mr. Berkeley, there's no need to get yourself worked up over someone like that. Violet said that she would help you deal with him, didn't she?" Candy said icily. Kayden huffed angrily and hurried back to the car. Colton and Jayden followed hastily. …After they entered the forest, Scott led Sebastian to a hill. He pointed at the paw prints on the ground and said, "Look, Mr. Ballard!"Sebastian didn't look in the direction that Scott was pointing at. Instead, he focused warily on the sounds around them. Suddenly, a gust of wind swept over them, bringing the pungent smell of blood. The leaves in the forest rustled noisily as they were battered by the wind."It's coming!" Sebastian said calmly.Scott jumped in fright and hastily retreated behind Sebastian. Cohen looked warily around them. There was an old saying which sai
Scott seemed used to it and didn't even look up. As he ate, he said to Sebastian, "Mr. Ballard, don't be surprised. This is a common occurrence!"Sebastian glanced at him and took another large bite of beef. He smiled and said, "You're alone here. Aren't you afraid?""Afraid? Is there any use in being afraid?" Scott asked. "To be honest, I've been transferred here for almost three months, and no one's come to replace me yet. They told me at the beginning that we'd be changed once a month!"Then, he turned and gave Cohen a meaningful look."Someone will come and replace you next month," Cohen said, although it was obviously an empty promise.At that moment, a black SUV drove into Flemin Village and headed straight toward the villas.At the entrance to the neighborhood where the villas were, a few young men and women got out of the car. One of the young women was supporting a young man, who was limping. They walked toward the villas. Among the young men and women, a few of them w
In the process of the investigation, the police had discovered that some of the houses in the village still had their lights on and that there was still food cooking on the stoves. However, the people in the houses seemed to have all disappeared into thin air.From then on, Flemin Village had become a deserted place that no one dared to live in.As for the villas, no one knew when they had been built, nor did anyone know who the owners of the villas were. However, the sound of ghostly wails and screams could often be heard inside. Even the deacons from the local Martial Arts Court wouldn't go near them if they could help it. It was rumored that all the wronged spirits of the villagers were in those villas. Someone had once looked in the windows of the villas in the middle of the night, and they had been filled with fearful human faces. However, during the day, the villas were unusually quiet. There was no sign of human activity in any of them."Mr. Gabbard, you seem to be ve
