"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
"I don't think we'll be able to," Theodore said, sighing."Seb, let's forget about this. Gunther isn't anything to be afraid of, but we can't afford to offend the people behind him," Zane said, lowering his head. He looked despondent."Can't afford to offend them?" Sebastian raised an eyebrow."The owner of the place is part of the Janover Sloane family. They already told me that they'll forget about the 30 million this time and to think of it as a lesson learned," Zane said, smiling bitterly. He didn't want Sebastian to offend someone dangerous for his sake.The Sloanes were among the top ten families in Janover. Even Silas couldn't afford to offend them, let alone Sebastian."The Sloanes?" Gavin frowned and asked, "What was the name of the one who beat you up?""Hunter Sloane." Zane would never forget this name."Seb, he's notorious in Janover as well. It will be difficult to go against him," Gavin said, frowning."Are you familiar with him?" Sebastian asked, turning back.
Sebastian laughed."He's not going to listen to us so easily," Gavin said wryly. "That's why we have to go gemstone betting. How can we get to know about him if we don't interact with him?" Sebastian asked, his eyes flashing."Damn!" Zane said through gritted teeth as he slammed his fist down on the bed. "Let's not rush to deal with him. We should lure Gunther out first," Sebastian said, grinning."Tell us, Seb. How should we do it?" Zane asked, looking determined. He didn't want to get revenge because he didn't want to bring trouble upon Theodore. However, Sebastian was clearly implying that they had targeted the Northmans in the first place. That would be a different story.Zane wasn't a pushover. Since Hunter wanted to fight, then he would comply. They would see who ended up the final victor."What do you think, Mr. Northman?" Sebastian still wanted to get Theodore's permission."I won't comment on the affairs of you young people. However, I advise you not to go too far,
"What are you looking at?" Zane slapped Gunther in the face."Huh?" Gunther wiped his drool away, looking as if he had just been shaken awake from a dream. He was startled for a second before he said, "Do you want to go gemstone betting again, Mr. Northman?""Yes. I've got to stand up where I fell down," Zane said, patting himself on the chest."Please, go ahead!" Gunther bowed as he led the way for Zane.He laughed inwardly. Once Zane had lost all his money, Rose would belong to Gunther. Gunther guided Sebastian and the others to a room in the basement. The walls were clearly bulletproof, and every entry and exit was guarded. They walked along a long corridor before coming to a spacious, underground hall. Although it was buried several meters underground, it was as bright as day. In the hall, which was about a thousand feet in radius, there were several long tables laid out. The tables were covered in all kinds of snacks and pastries, and there was also liquor, whiskey, dr
