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
Rosalie turned to Albion and said, "Mr. Brighton, can we do it like this? I'll represent Arctic Snow Group in collaborating with Mr. Ballard, while Ms. Sutton uses her shares in Frostwave Corporation as collateral so that she can participate as a shareholder."Albion thought for a moment before frowning as he said, "Of course this is possible, but there is one condition. Mr. Ballard must become the juridical person, which is to say that he needs to own his own company for that to be possible."After all, the army could not sign contracts with all three of them at the same time. The only solution would be for Sebastian to register a company of his own, after which Arctic Snow Group and Frostwave Corporation would become partners in the collaboration. Rosalie spoke up first. "That's easy. This afternoon, we'll go and register a company. After that, we'll sign an equity pledge agreement." When Sebastian saw that Rosalie and Whitney had no objections, he had no choice but to agree.
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
