"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
The two majors got out of the car and glanced up at the Moonlyte Club. They both frowned.Soldiers were not allowed to enter establishments for entertainment. "Sir, it isn't appropriate for us to enter," one of the majors said rather awkwardly.Before the middle-aged man could answer, Liam smiled and said, "I go in and out of this place all the time despite my rank. What are you afraid of?"The middle-aged man did not seem bothered. He pointed at the sign above him and said, "Moonlyte. This is a pretty good name, and the location of this place is quite good.""General, this…""Hm?" The middle-aged man frowned slightly. "Mr. Brighton, we—" the two majors stood at the entrance, looking awkward. "Stop dawdling and come in!" Albion Brighton glared impatiently at his subordinates before entering the Moonlyte Club side by side with Liam.The two majors had no choice but to hang their heads and follow them in. They looked like children who had done something wrong. They did not ev
"There's one more thing. You must not let any third party know your formula. You must have an exclusive patent for it," Albion added. Although Albion had only mentioned it in passing by saying that the effects were excellent, the truth was that the Inspection Department had found that the effects were almost miraculous!A simple knife wound would start closing up within two hours after applying the paste. It would be completely back to normal within four hours.Even gun wounds were able to recover exceedingly well within two days. Within four days, the patients would be fit for battle once more.That was why the army would not permit the Gold Remedy ointment to be leaked. It had to be monopolized by the army, which was why they had made the Gold Remedy ointment top secret. The medicine also could not be distributed in the market. If it fell into the hands of other countries, it would become a potential threat to Crestborne."Apart from that—" Before Albion could mention yet a
Cohen looked rather troubled as he said, "I'm not sure how to say this, Mr. Ballard. Please come to the Martial Arts Court, and you'll understand!"Sebastian nodded slightly and said to Unus, "Let's go!"As Candy watched Sebastian walk off, she felt as if her heart had been torn apart.Sebastian was so powerful! Why hadn't he said so earlier?Didn't men like showing off their strength and power in front of women? Why had he kept hiding his powers from her?If she had known earlier about how strong Sebastian was, she wouldn't have thought twice about giving herself completely to him."What should we do, Ms. Candy?" one of her bodyguards asked. They could no longer live in that villa when over 100 people had died in the yard. They had to move as soon as possible. Clearly, the villa was now a cursed place.Candy hesitated for a moment before calling one of her best friends. …When Sebastian was invited into the Martial Arts Court, he saw over a dozen corpses at the entrance an
Unus finally stopped fighting with the Lynches and revealed his true form. A humongous snake with black scales and a dragon's head that was close to 300 feet tall reared up into the sky. His bloody maw opened gently, and a strong suction force immediately pulled everyone in the Lynch family."Huh? What's that?" Maclin almost wet his pants in fright. It was a dragon!However, upon closer inspection, something didn't seem right. Dragons had four talons, but Unus' true form did not have any. Its body was smooth and pitch black, but it had the head of a dragon. It looked as if a dragon had been grafted onto a snake, or the other way around.It looked very strange, and there was a cursed energy emanating from it that sent a chill down everyone's spine.Unus' slightly open mouth was like a strong vacuum. The apprentices of the Lynch family were all sucked up into mid-air before falling right into his mouth. In a moment of distraction, Bartemius was also sucked up into the air.
Daxton collapsed and lay on the floor, convulsing violently.In the blink of an eye, over half of the Lynches' apprentices had been swallowed up by Unus.Bartemius stared at Unus in shock. He had swallowed over 50 people alive. But why hadn't his stomach expanded at all?Both Calder and Maclin felt their hairs stand on end with fear. Based on his tongue, which stretched out for several feet, they could only surmise that Unus was some kind of snake.However, they had no idea what kind of snake would be so ferocious. The truth was that they were laughably wrong. Unus wasn't a snake at all. He was a Devora!Even if their mentor was there, he wouldn't have recognized something like that. After all, Devoras had only appeared three times in tens of thousands of years of history. The first time they appeared was when the six kingdoms had been united into one by the First Emperor.The second was during the time of the Nomad King, although it had been wrongly named as another kind of
Chandler had echoed the heart of all martial arts practitioners in Dramon for the past 5,000 years. Sebastian nodded and said, "As expected of a member of the Gladius Sect. You have very high morals. What a pity! It's a huge pity!"Chandler could hear Sebastian's determination in his voice. Even if the Lynches decided not to fight that night, Sebastian would still not forgive them."Is there no other way?" Chandler asked, turning to look at Sebastian.Sebastian shook his head slightly and asked Unus, "Aren't you hungry?"Unus' eyes lit up at once. That was the best news he had heard for the past few days!Bartemius looked at Sebastian in confusion. He didn't understand why he kept asking the burly man beside him whether or not he was hungry.Laurie stepped forward and pointed at Sebastian as he yelled, "Ballard, there are over 100 of us. Even if we only punch you one time each, we can turn you into mincemeat!""One punch each? You'd have to be able to throw out that punch firs
The law enforcement team all stared at Sebastian in shock. Was he going to kill more than 100 members of the Lynch family on his own?Maclin and Calder didn't doubt it at all. If Branson or Kody were here, the Lynches wouldn't be a match for them even if they all gathered together, but even the two of them working together had almost died by Sebastian's hand.If Sebastian wanted to slaughter the entire Lynch family, it would be a piece of cake. At that thought, Maclin and Calder had no choice but to retreat until they were out of the front yard, looking in from afar. When the law enforcement team saw that the Gladius Sect members had left meekly, they followed suit as well.Candy stared in disbelief at the others' retreating figure, looking dazed. She had thought that she knew Sebastian very well and that she was nothing compared to the entire Lynch family.However, reality had taught her a vivid lesson. She had severely underestimated Sebastian's abilities, as well as his infl
Sebastian looked at the three members of the Gladius Sect in the distance. "You three are all the successors of the Gladius Sect. I used to be at the same level as your seniors. We've interacted before, and I don't wish to kill you here. What happened today has nothing to do with you. It's not too late to leave right now!"After Sebastian had spoken, both Calder and Maclin were furious. How old did Sebastian think he was?How could he say that he was of the same level as their senior?"You may be young, but you're very arrogant. I'd like to ask you which senior of mine you know well," Maclin said, smiling coldly.Sebastian gave him a brief smile and said, "It's not just your seniors. If we were to discuss this in detail, I'd probably be on the level of your mystic tier seniors!""You little…" Maclin was about to lose his temper when Chandler stopped him. "Can you tell us what your name is?" Calder asked, looking impassively at Sebastian."Sword Fiend and Sword Zealot!" Sebasti
"Your prestige?"Cohen looked as if he had heard a joke. He laughed heartily and asked in a sardonic tone, "Does your family have any prestige at all? Was the antiques dealer in Longville waylaid and killed by people sent by Colton?""Also, anyone in the antique street who get a good item will have their entire family slaughtered if they refuse to sell the item to you Lynches at a low price! Do you really think that I'm both deaf and blind? Every single person in the Lynch family has hands stained with blood!"Cohen paced back and forth as he counted all the crimes the Lynches had committed. Once he had finished, even the members of the law enforcement team looked at them with hatred.Not only were they taking things that belonged to others, they were even destroying entire families. The worst thing was that they didn't even let three-year-old children go and had them chopped up into mincemeat.Were they even human?Although the apprentices of the Nine Sects were also arrogant, t
Bartemius huffed and said, "Revenge!""Revenge?" Cohen sneered and asked, "Mr. Lynch Senior, you did receive Mr. Wentworth's command, didn't you?"The moment Joaquin's order had been given, the new rule of the Martial Arts Court had been delivered to the various elite martial arts families. And the Lynches had been the first to be notified.Bartemius had no choice but to nod and said, "We have received it."Cohen nodded and said, "Alright. That's good. Don't you know what kind of crime it is to trespass on private property as a Warrior?"Bartemius took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He controlled his emotions with difficulty and said, "Mr. Gabbard, to tell you the truth, both my son and grandson were killed by this person!" He pointed at Sebastian.Cohen nodded slightly and said, "So what if that's true? I'm asking you where you are right now!"As he spoke, he pointed at the earth beneath his feet."This is the home of Ms. Candy!" Daxton interrupted.Bartemius glare
Bartemius was giving Laurie and Oswald a way out while also destroying all of Candy's expectations. "Old man, whether or not you believe it, I just want to tell you that Roman died at the hands of one of your own!" Sebastian said, grinning. Bartemius was about to explode with anger. Sebastian still looked as if he was enjoying a show. However, the thing was that Roman might actually have been killed by Laurie. The Lynches had always treated the six retainers well. If Roman really had been killed by Laurie, didn't that mean Bartemius had been supporting an enemy for all these years? "Hmph! We won't discuss the rest for now. Today, I only want to see you!" Bartemius shouted, pointing at Sebastian. As soon as he finished, the Lynches' apprentices all pulled out their swords. "Ballard, you won't escape justice today!""I am going to chop you into pieces today!" They hooted, looking as if they were ready to swallow Sebastian whole. "My lord!" Unus looked beseechingly at Se
