Chapter 1220

Author: Wendell Mayhew
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

    "Kneel!" Sebastian suddenly yelled.Brayden yelped with fear and fell to his knees."Sebastian, I… I'm a tristate inspector of the Martial Arts Court!"At that point, Brayden's final hope was his authority and position. He didn't want to die, and he especially didn't want to die for no reason.He just wanted to win favor with the ancestral being of the Berkeleys and get some tips on how to get a longer life."Call your wife! I'll give you two hours. If she doesn't come, you'll be tortured to death as well. I can tell you clearly that I'm a doctor, and I have ways to keep you alive until you get slashed 3,600 times with a knife!" Sebastian said icily."I…"Brayden trembled as he pulled out his phone. His mind had gone blank, and it took him a long time to find his wife's phone number. Her name was Darla Wyllis. "Hello? Honey? A handbag caught my eye today, but that stupid store actually refused to give it to me for free! It's a lousy handbag that only costs about 500 thousand d

    Jayden had only gone a few steps, but he had no choice but to stop. He turned and grimaced at the Berkeleys and Brayden, who were all looking in his direction.He was filled with regret. He should have made his escape earlier instead of coming back with Brayden. Egbert and Yorrick were clearly fools. One of them had maimed himself and ended up vomiting blood relentlessly, while the other stood there like an idiot for Sebastian to slap him. He would be surprised if either of them could defeat Sebastian.As everyone was watching him, Jayden had no choice but to return to his previous spot. He looked nervously at Yorrick, praying inwardly that the old man would somehow get more skilled. He couldn't let Sebastian screw him over!"This is the last slap, old man. Do you still have any feeling in your face?" Sebastian asked, raising his palm."Damn you!" Yorrick swore violently. However, one of his front teeth had been knocked out earlier when he was slapped, and air escaped noisily t

    The entire left side of Yorrick's face had become so numb that he couldn't feel a thing."Young man, just now you already hit me—""I only slapped you once!" Sebastian interrupted, holding up a finger.Yorrick spat and said, "How could one slap have made so many noises?"Sebastian replied innocently, "Everyone here can testify that I only hit you once, and I did it very slowly too. You all saw it, didn't you?"The onlookers nodded quickly, especially the experts from the law enforcement hall. They still couldn't figure out how an expert at Yorrick's level could have been sent flying through the air by a weak slap like that from Sebastian.What puzzled them the most was that Yorrick had clearly landed in a very safe spot. Why had he insisted on rolling into a pile of broken glass and gotten such a gaping wound on his face?"Fine!" Yorrick clenched his teeth and suppressed the pain in the right side of his face. "There are still two moves left!" he said viciously."Will you com

    Sebastian nodded slightly. Yorrick had probably killed the young man because the latter was proficient in mystic spells and was already on the brink of the threshold. That could be the only reason for Yorrick's senseless deedThere were some people who couldn't bear seeing people who were stronger than them, which was why they made their move before their opponent could grow and develop."Are you really going to concede three moves to me, old man?" Sebastian stepped forward, grinning."Of course!" Yorrick answered, staring arrogantly at him.He still hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary with Sebastian, so he assumed that Sebastian was just an ordinary guy. He had probably only been able to defeat so many experts—including Egbert—because he had used some kind of trick. Egbert had lost because he had fallen into Sebastian's trap, not because of the latter's skills. That was why Egbert ended up suffering from the backlash of the ghost he had nurtured and lost his powers."I'll

    "Young man, you're so cruel. Have you ever thought of the consequences of your actions?" Yorrick asked. He put his hands behind his back as he walked slowly toward Sebastian. Sebastian eyed Yorrick, whose training was at least on the same level as Egbert's. Besides, what he had studied was also a kind of spell. He and Sebastian specialized in the same study.The moment Yorrick got angry, Sebastian had sensed the faint power of Dainist principles from him."No blows are kind, and neither are harsh words! Why do you people feel that others should meekly allow you to beat them up? When your people are injured, you immediately think of it as the other party's mistake! That doesn't make any sense!" Sebastian answered coldly."Mr. Irving, kill that asshole!" Kayden said viciously. He was still clutching his crotch with one hand while he pointed at Sebastian with his other hand. Beside them, Jayden said defiantly, "Mr. Irving, you must not let this guy go! He's ruthless and extremely

    Huh? Egbert frowned involuntarily. He had never felt that way before. What was going on? There was a loud blast, and the gigantic statue suddenly appeared out of thin air. At the same time, Egbert suddenly felt his blood churning inside him, and he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.He was about to turn and run when a black bolt of light hit him in the back. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew through the air like a broken kite. "Oh! Are you actually a sadist, old man?" Sebastian asked, smiling.Before Egbert could scramble up again, yet another bolt of dark light flew toward him."Damn it!"Egbert could no longer be conscious of his image and dignity. He swore at once. The dark light was aimed at his energy reserve. If he was hit, his decades of training would be completely ruined. However, he had plenty of life experience and had been through many such situations. When he saw the dark light flying toward him, he rolled across the floor like a bal

    The dark shadow stretched out a large hand toward Nina. It appeared to be planning on tearing off her clothes. "Die?" Nina burst into laughter. How dare a ghost who was only around 300 years old talk to her about dying? As the smile stiffened on Nina's face, she bared her teeth, revealing fangs. Her scarlet eyes looked up impassively at the dark shadow above her head. "Aargh!" When the gigantic, dark shadow saw Nina's true form, it turned to try and escape, but it was too close to her that it was impossible for it to do so.It had only taken one step backward before Nina reached out and yanked it back."Have mercy, my lady!" The giant shadow disappeared and became a dark and scrawny-looking ghost that was less than five feet tall. "How dare you disrupt my dreams? You deserve to disintegrate into nothing!"Nina raised her hand and pressed down on top of the dark and scrawny ghost's head. "No!"The dark and scrawny ghost fell to its knees with a thump before Nina and sa

    The Sacred Medicine Secret Annals also contained mystic spells from the Demon Sect. However, it was clearly written that those who practiced them would suffer divine punishment if they were to excel in it!Those were very heavy words indeed. How evil did those spells have to be if they would bring down divine punishment on those who excelled in practicing them?"Hmph! Stop trying to act as if you're smart in front of me. Have you ever seen such amazing spells? Believe it or not, I can kill your entire family with a click of my fingers?"There was a sinister tinge to Egbert's smile. With ordinary people, Egbert would only have to send out a thought to kill the entire family of his opponent instantly.However, Sebastian was being very dismissive of him. Evil spells like those required the supernatural spirit behind Egbert to sense the opponent's energy, after which they would use the same energy to find their family members.The process wasn't as mysterious as Egbert made it out

    Those deceptive tricks appeared impressive, but those who Egbert healed would only end up in an even worse state, suffering even more."I haven't committed any crimes. How can I accept my punishment?" Sebastian asked disinterestedly.Brayden sneered. "You're not the one who decides whether you've committed a crime or not. Come! Subdue this defiant man!"Subdue Sebastian? Who would dare to do such a thing?The law enforcement hall members exchanged looks.Upon seeing this, Egbert stepped forward and said arrogantly, "Young man, you've seen what I can do. Compared to me, you martial arts practitioners aren't worthy of mention at all. I'll be lenient on you because you're young and ignorant. Just give up and come quietly!"Egbert was different from ordinary deacons in the Martial Arts Court. He had been hired specially as a mystic spells expert.When compared with mystic spells or cultivation, so-called martial arts weren't worthy of mention at all.That was because all mystic spe
