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
"Griffin!"Griffin hastily gave Salvador a meaningful look, trying to hint that he should not be impulsive.Salvador did not even look at Griffin. He wiped away the blood on his head and laughed coldly as he said, "Me, die? I'd like to see which of us is going to die first today!"As he spoke, he pulled out his phone and made a call. After less than ten seconds, a young male voice came over the phone. "Chief Zinder!""Get me the people who are on patrol right now! I'm currently in Room 302 at the Moonlyte Club!" Salvador hung up and laughed coldly at Sebastian as he said, "Hey, brat. I'm going to teach you a lesson about life today!"Before Sebastian could speak, the door was pushed open once more. A fat man with an enormous stomach ran in. He was wearing a suit."Larry, Larry!" The man shouted Larry's name as soon as he came in. He looked all around the room before he discovered Larry, who was lying on the floor behind Griffin and looked within an inch of death."Larry!" The
"Yes, yes! Mr. Ballard… t-there's one million in this card. Take it as a reimbursement for all the club's losses." Griffin voluntarily handed over one million dollars in reimbursements, and looked as if he had been shown a great mercy. Sebastian chuckled and put the card in his pocket. He waved at Griffin.Griffin hastily piggybacked his son over to the door and knelt there.When Salvador saw that Griffin had actually gone to kneel at the door with his back perfectly straight, he couldn't help but gasped.He wasn't an idiot. Griffin was actually his superior when it came to the hierarchy. When it came to authority, Griffin controlled half the officers in Steinberg. He was much more powerful than Salvador on all accounts."What do you two think?" Sebastian looked at Salvador and Denver, smiling. "I'll kill you!" Denver pointed aggressively at Sebastian. He wanted nothing more than to flay Sebastian alive so that he could vent the hatred in his heart.Larry was the Helmans' only
Jesse saw that Salvador did not make a single sound of protest when Sebastian slapped him in the face. He felt a chill settle over his heart. They had bitten off more than they could chew. He hated Larry wholeheartedly. If it weren't for that idiot, he would never have delivered himself up on a platter like this!"M-Mr. Ballard, I… I…" Salvador was stuttering. He could not say a single word.The longer time dragged on, the more chilly he felt.In the blink of an eye, 40 minutes had passed, and he had not seen a single sign of his subordinates. That meant that they would not come at all, even if he waited until dawn.Salvador did not even have the courage to call and ask."If you can't think of anything, kneel there and think slowly." Sebastian pointed to the spot beside Griffin and Benaiah. Salvador looked at Jesse in resignation. He turned and opened the door to the room, then knelt meekly beside Griffin."Griffin, what's going on?" Cold sweat was pouring off Salvador's brow
The secretary rattled off a long string of bad news to Denver.Before she could finish, Denver's phone fell to the ground. He stared at Sebastian in terror. The latter had only made a phone call, and Ambrose had acted immediately. He hadn't left Lexton Group a single way out.What kind of allies did Sebastian have?"Mr. Helman? Hello? Mr. Helman, are you listening? Mr. Helman…" The secretary's voice came over the phone, but Denver was in no mood to listen.Larry had brought a disaster on the Helmans. Sebastian was definitely not the kind of person they could afford to offend.If it was only Ambrose who was going against them, Denver might not have been so scared. The important thing was that several of the people mentioned were companies who had ongoing loans with Lexton Group, and none of them knew Ambrose well.That was the most frightening thing. Who had Ambrose contacted after getting the call from Sebastian?What kind of person had so much power that he could block off
Sebastian nodded and said, "Are you familiar with the Gullivers?"Although Jace was the mastermind behind all of this, the Gullivers were much more well established in Sartvale than Jace was. They also had a close-knit relationship with the Martial Arts Association.That was why the Gullivers had become Sebastian's current biggest enemy. He had to find a way to deal with them at once.Denver nodded. He had been at the Gullivers' that afternoon, and he had even had tea with Aloysius. "If the Gullivers are planning anything, I want you to tell me," Sebastian said, smiling.Denver looked up sharply at him. He had never imagined that the reckless young man whom Aloysius had mentioned that afternoon would be Sebastian."Don't worry, Mr. Ballard. I won't let you down," Denver said, nodding heavily."Alright. As long as you do well, I'll consider curing your son. You can also get back everything you've lost."Denver groveled gratefully to Sebastian and then hauled Larry onto his back
After Sebastian had mixed up the paste, he cut Liam's bandages off with a pair of scissor and gently pulled the blood-stained bandages off. Finally, he smeared the medicinal paste on Liam's wounds.When the medicine touched his wounds, Liam's eyes widened, and he clenched his teeth."Endure it!" Sebastian smeared some more of the paste on, and Liam's expression slowly relaxed."Seb, what did you put in this paste? Why did it only hurt so much when you first put it on? I don't feel anything right now," Liam said in confusion. "There's numbginger in this. Leofric's numbing powder uses this herb," Sebastian explained as he smeared the paste on for Liam.When he was done, Sebastian smiled and said, "This medicine will help your flesh grow faster. Your wounds will probably close up within a couple of days."Liam's eyes widened in shock. He knew very well how bad his injuries were. He hadn't expected to recover for at least three months."Seb, I heard that someone from the Gulliver
For the next two days, Sebastian came at the same time every day to help Liam smear the medicinal paste on his wounds.On the fourth day, Sebastian used a towel to wipe off all the paste on Liam's body. He smiled and said, "Take a look! Your wounds should be fine now."Liam's eyes bulged in shock. He took a mirror and looked in it, only to see that his wounds really were as good as new. There weren't even any scars."Seb! Are you… are you secretly some kind of god?" Liam was surprised and delighted."I'm not a god, but treating external wounds like this is easy," Sebastian said, laughing. "Seb, why don't you collaborate with the army? I was so badly injured, but I've recovered completely in just three days. If this medicine could become used widely in the army, then the injuries that our soldiers suffer will decrease greatly," Liam said excitedly.Sebastian frowned slightly and asked, "Is the army manufacturing drugs too?""Seb, we don't only manufacture drugs. We only manufact
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
