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.
"Mr. Brighton…" Sebastian hastily stood up and took Albion's hand. Before he could refuse, Albion said quickly, "Mr. Ballard, if you refuse again, I'm going to find it hard to explain things when I get back. We can't take your patent for nothing."Since he had said so, Sebastian had no choice but to agree. He nodded and said, "I'll agree then.""That's right!" After Albion returned to his seat, he smiled and said, "I never imagined that you would be so young and have such a big heart.""You're too kind, Mr. Brighton." Sebastian smiled. He was starting to warm up to Albion. The truth was that the Arctic Snow Mask had already earned Sebastian billions in assets. He had just kept a very low profile.Money really wasn't important to Sebastian.He did not need extravagant food everyday, either. As long as he could fill his stomach with three meals a day, that was enough for him."If there aren't any other problems, you can fill in the address of the pharmaceutical factory right aw
"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
