Dexter had only just sat down when the host walked onto the stage and said loudly, "To all our respected friends and guests. The auction will now officially begin."

The audience burst into a roar of applause, and Sebastian clapped along obligingly once or twice.

"Now, let us welcome the first item for auction today. The King's Son."

As soon as the host had finished, a young lady opened a red wooden box. She took out a rolled-up painting from inside and spread it out in front of everyone.

"Oh, it really does have the authentic flair of Basil!"

"How exquisite!"

"As expected of a master's work!"

The crowd cried out in surprise. The appearance of the painting had pushed the auction to its climax.

"Starting at 20 million!"

"30 million!"

"35 million!"

"36 million!"

The bids rang out among the audience. Dexter frowned and said to Emmanuel, "Mr. Carthen, how much do you think this painting is worth?"

Emmanuel leaned back in his seat, looking triumphant as he said, "I think this pa

    Sebastian finally couldn't resist laughing. He stood up and said, "That's the most ridiculous joke I've heard this year.""You little—" The plump middle-aged man and Emmanuel both glared huffily at Sebastian. "Sebastian, you said that this painting is worthless, but what evidence do you have?" Dexter asked, smiling. "Mr. Coltrane Senior, 'The King's Son' isn't done by Basil at all. It was painted by Dorian Worcester. Besides, the religion of Astralix only began to grow in popularity during the Tannin era, and 'The King's Son' depicts a scene from the Astralix scriptures," Sebastian said, smiling.Sebastian's voice wasn't loud, but every word seemed to hammer upon the hearts of those who were listening. He grinned as he looked at Emmanuel and said, "Mr. Carthen, this is basic general knowledge. How could you not know that when you've been studying antiques for such a long time?"Emmanuel turned bright red and looked away, not daring to look at Sebastian.The fat man clenched h

    Sebastian only smiled gratefully at Dexter, but he stayed silent."205 thousand going thrice. Sold! Congratulations to this gentleman on bidding successfully for this 'Spring Mountains' painting at 205 thousand dollars!""What a bargain!""He's really got himself a deal!""You're so lucky, young man. No one tried to compete with you!"The audience began heckling at once. Everyone knew that the painting wasn't even worth five thousand. Sebastian didn't argue with them. He walked quickly up to the stage and handed his bank card to the cashier. While everyone looked on, he ripped out the painting. "Sebastian!" Dexter wanted to stop him, but he was too late."Hmph. What's the use in regretting it now? Even if he tears it to pieces, he'll still have to pay," Emmanuel said sarcastically."Oh, young man, even if you realized that you got a fake item doesn't mean you can do that! After all, you might meet someone even more ignorant than you are.""Yeah! Even if you get 30 thousand

    100million had just disappeared like that."I think that you were just lucky. Who would've thought that the frame was the items with value?" Emmanuel protested. "Aren't you supposed to be an expert? Why don't you know that the royal family is accustomed to using thousand-year-old rippled wood as frames?" Sebastian said, chuckling."You—" Emmanuel was so angry that he almost vomited blood. "Let's look at the third auction item! It is the Prime Minister's seal from the Tannin era! The starting price is 800 thousand, and every additional bid must be at least ten thousand! Let the bidding begin!"With Emmanuel's help, Dexter had received a few auction items that were fairly valuable, but Sebastian's keen eye had verified all of them as forgeries.Emmanuel had turned red and no longer had any desire to stay around. He had completely humiliated himself that day.Everyone around them was full of praise for Sebastian's ability to appraise antiques. There were even a few antique sho

    "What? Ten million!""Is a Fade Dill worth that much?""I think the two of them are just fighting!""The organizer has the advantage here!"A buzz of conversation rose in the crowd."20 million!" Jace said loudly as he raised his sign.He grinned in a provocative manner. "25 million!" Sebastian said calmly."50 million!" The crowd was shocked into silence by Jace."100 million!" Dexter said quietly."Oh!" the crowd cried out. Even the host on the stage was so surprised that his jaw dropped.Emmanuel looked at Dexter in confusion. He couldn't understand. A hundred-year-old toadstool wasn't worth that amount at all, and yet Dexter was willing to give 100 million to compete for it.Jace was equally shocked. He knew Dexter, although the latter had no idea who he was.He had never imagined that Dexter would also want the hundred-year-old toadstool and had even bid twice the amount that Jace had offered.He felt rather nervous and sensed that he might have landed himself in ho

    Now that Sebastian had the hundred-year-old toadstool, Rosalie and Rose would recover from their injuries in no time. Sebastian watched the rain outside the car window, which was pouring down in sheets. After he left the Coeur Hotel, it began raining heavily.Sebastian flagged down a cab and headed straight back to Steinberg.…A few days later, Rosalie and Rose were as good as new, just as he had expected.After Gavin's continued attempts at persuasion, Rose finally agreed to join the Security Department.In less than half a month, the Security Department had gained a powerful member. Gavin was so pleased that he was grinning from ear to ear.Even Cillian praised him extravagantly after hearing about it. After all, Rose was a top assassin at the Supreme Grandmaster level. With her on their side, the capabilities of Gavin's team had risen by several levels in an instant!That morning, Sebastian saw that Rosalie was looking glum. He asked in confusion, "Rosalie, what's the ma

    "Mr. Zane got his legs broken?" Rosalie asked in disbelief.Sebastian nodded slightly and said, "Yes. Mr. Northman wouldn't have been out of contact for the past couple of days otherwise.""I'll go with you," Rosalie said urgently.After all, she and Zane had become friends over the time they'd spent together. Now that something so big had happened to him, she was also very worried."Rosalie, I don't think you should go. There are so many important things related to Moonlyte Club and the company. I'll go alone," Sebastian said, his brow furrowed.Arctic Snow Group had taken on a big task. If it weren't for the fact that Whitney was helping them supervise their collaboration with the army at the pharmaceutical factory, Rosalie would find it difficult to manage everything.Seeing that Sebastian was firm with his decision, Rosalie had no choice but to agree."I'll go with you, Mr. Ballard.""Me too."Gavin and Rose both stood up. "Mr. Ballard, if the Sanguis Cult does something

    "A traditional medicine department? Yes. We currently have about two or three old traditional medicine doctors." It had taken Dennis a while to answer. He had forgotten whether or not the hospital had a traditional medicine department.Traditional medicine had been on the decline for years, and the costs for herbal medicinal draughts and pills, as well as treatments, were so low that they could barely make any money off it. He had considered closing the department down countless times."Can you ask them to bring some halite and warm water?" Sebastian asked, his brow furrowed.Dennis wanted to say that he had no idea whether or not they had any halite, but he did not dare to do so in front of Theodore. He had no choice but to smile and say, "Please wait a moment. I'll call them and ask."Before long, a nurse came in with halite and a basin of water. "Dr. Lornman, here are the things you wanted.""Don't give them to me. Give them to him." Dennis pointed quickly at Sebastian."Leave

    Sebastian turned to Gavin and said, "Gavin, hold him down."Gavin nodded and held Zane down tightly.The muscles on Zane's face were trembling with the pain, and his lips had become pale and bloodless."Zane." Seraphina turned away. She couldn't bear to watch.Sebastian's hands moved down Zane's legs inch by inch, starting from the tops of his thighs. With every inch that he moved, Zane's legs spurted out fresh blood, which splashed all over Sebastian's face and body.He was using his spiritual energy to force Zane's bones back into their original position. In the process, the wounds that had begun to heal over the past few days would be torn open once more, and it would rearrange the bones in his legs. It was tantamount to breaking Zane's legs once again and putting the pieces back together. One could imagine how painful that would be.After half an hour, Sebastian used four planks to fix Zane's legs in position once more. He wrote out a prescription and handed it to Dennis. H

    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
