It was just that Theresa had indeed gone a bit too far with her words just now. She never said that her three-year marriage to Sebastian was a stain on her life.Sebastian's gaze was frosty as he let out a mocking chuckle. "Ms. Sutton, if there's anything you need to tell me in the future, please just tell it to me directly. There's no need for you to trouble your best friend to humiliate me," he said."Sebastian… It was all just a misunderstanding…" Whitney started, desperate to explain herself, but she was cut off by Sebastian's scoff.He then deliberately turned to look at Theresa before locking eyes with Whitney again.The meaning behind his look was clear. How could this possibly be a misunderstanding? Did she really want him to believe that everything Theresa said was of her own accord?"Ms. Sutton, I've never wanted to fight with you, but if you keep forcing my hand, I will not hesitate to retaliate," he informed her coldly.Whitney paled at that, and Theresa walked
Theresa was extremely excited.Anyone who could develop a prescription like this must be an absolute genius!If this prescription was discovered by research institutions abroad, it would certainly create an uproar in the medical world!Whitney looked embarrassed and wondered if she should tell Theresa the truth. After all, Theresa had just insulted Sebastian to his face half an hour ago at the cabaret.What would Theresa think if she knew that Sebastian was the one who had made this prescription?After hesitating for a while, Whitney smiled lightly. "It's nothing. This prescription was made through the joint efforts of the research department at my company."Theresa was disappointed when she heard this. It had been a collaborative effort, then. However, it was enough to prove that Whitney's research team was outstanding. "Theresa, is there anything wrong with the prescription?" Whitney was more concerned about that. This prescription had to be used with Sebastian's acupunctur
"I believe in you! Keep it up!"Rosalie ran off without knowing whether or not Sebastian had heard her.Sebastian turned in surprise. He smiled exasperatedly as he watched the car's tail lights recede into the distance. Compared to Whitney, Rosalie was a lot more naive and endearing. Besides, she reminded him of how unconditionally Whitney had trusted in him three years ago. Sebastian exhaled, feeling like his mind was crowded with thoughts. As he was bored, he thought of what Whitney had accused him of that morning. After some thought, he opened Twitter and searched for the account "Aloof Snow". It was definitely Rosalie.She had more than 100 thousand followers, which was a pretty high number.She didn't update much, and there were only about four or five tweets in total. They were mostly pictures of herself that she'd taken while traveling, and all the comments below were from beautiful women. The most recent tweet was about the "Arctic Snow Mask", and it had been post
Very soon, his tweet began trending, boosted by an invisible burst of power. It wasn't Sebastian's intention, but unfortunately, Crestborne Good Doctors was a very popular topic. There was also someone making mischief behind the scenes, which pushed the tweet to the top three trends.It created a huge amount of discussion. At the same time, Fergus was sitting in a private room at a nightclub. There was raucous music and gyrating, pretty girls. He was surrounded by his drinking buddies. He was holding his phone with an evil smirk on his face, looking satisfied at how successful his scheme had been. He sent a message to a Twitter user. "Good work! Continue creating buzz for this, and make sure to tarnish Sebastian's name!"He then added, "Also, make sure to elevate the image of Whitney as an independent female CEO! I have a few photos here. One is of Whitney looking like a strong, independent woman, and the other is of Sebastian flirting around with other women after abandoni
The next morning, Sebastian rose early and started work. Suddenly, there was the loud roar of a car engine.A Porsche 911 drove up. Rosalie got out of the car. She was dressed in casual sportswear and looked youthful and attractive."What are you doing here?" Sebastian asked, his brow furrowed.Rosalie laughed. "I'm here because I want to see you about something.""What is it?" Sebastian asked. "The first round of the district competition is going to start next week. There will be people from Crestborne Good Doctors recording the entire thing. How are things going with you? Do you need me to help you arrange your order of appearance?"For this sort of competition, especially if it was a recording for a TV show, the order of appearance was very important.It would directly influence the marks given by the mentors. Sebastian didn't really mind. He was drawing a protective charm while fiddling with his mirror of symbols. He said absently, "It doesn't matter which order I a
Roberto frowned slightly. He opened his mouth and said, "The contest rules do not state that contestants aren't allowed to formulate their own prescription. "However, Ms. Griffin, if Sebastian insists on formulating his own description, then our mentors will be even more strict in their evaluation and scoring. "I hope that you can let Sebastian know about this, and that he won't be too self-assured. He shouldn't dream about becoming popular overnight."Traditional medicine emphasizes focused research. Don't try to attract attention and popularity like they do in the entertainment industry," he warned. This was sound advice from Roberto.Roberto approved of Sebastian's skills in medicine, but he didn't agree with what Sebastian was planning to do.It was very dangerous to formulate one's own prescription in a professional competition like this one. Firstly, the prescription had to be approved by the mentors. Secondly, the efficacy of the prescription had to be stronger than t
When Sebastian saw this, he said impassively, "Please get up, Mr. Tuffin. Have some tea. It's calming."Howard got up when he heard this. He picked up the teacup from the table and downed it in one gulp.Once he'd had the cup of tea, the hot sensation and nervousness he'd been feeling disappeared at once.Then Sebastian took out the protective charm he'd drawn and handed it to Howard. He said, "Keep this protective charm with you at all times. It'll keep you safe.""Protective charm? Is it useful?" Howard took the protective charm, his expression changing. Sebastian explained, "If you trust me, Mr. Tuffin, then take it with you wherever you go. If you don't believe me, then take this brocade box back."When he heard this, Howard hurriedly smiled humbly and said, "Of course I believe you, Dr. Ballard! I'll get going, then."Sebastian nodded and watched Howard leave. Then he said, "Mr. Tuffin, for the next few days, you'd better stay in Steinberg. Your ophryon is looking rather d
Sebastian hurried to the bathroom to take a shower. Then he walked out and opened the door to the shop to take a deep breath of the fresh air outside.It felt amazing!"My mentor left a lot of ancient medical practices, ancient medical prescriptions, ancient mystic arts, and rare books of martial arts. I can try learning them now," Sebastian thought to himself. Suddenly, his phone rang.He looked at it and saw that Hans was calling."Dr. Ballard, do you have time today? Can you take a look at my wife?" Hans asked respectfully.Sebastian smiled lightly. "Yes.""That's great. I'll come and pick you up right now," Hans said excitedly.Sebastian replied, "Okay."After 20 minutes, Hans drove up in his Range Rover and picked Sebastian up.When they reached Hans' villa, Sebastian got out, and his brow furrowed at once. The villa was covered in a gray layer of cursed energy. "What's the matter, Dr. Ballard?" Hans asked nervously when he saw Sebastian standing there without movin
"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
Sebastian eyed the middle-aged man and laughed coldly. "You surprised me too. Do you want to be a sacrifice for my sword?"Sebastian gently shook Purity, which he was holding. Immediately, it felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck the entire yard!Hank and the others began mocking him at once. "Ballard, you are bold out of ignorance. Do you know who is standing in front of you? Let me tell you, it's the seventh elder of Sword Towers, Mr. Manderly."One of them added, "Consider it an honor for you to be killed by Mr. Manderly."Sebastian raised an eyebrow and squinted at Terence as he said, "If I'm guessing correctly, Nina and the others must have fallen into your trap. That's why they haven't arrived yet. Right?""You're observant!" Terence smiled faintly and said, "If you hadn't stepped into Draconem Cathedral right before I did, you would be stuck in a Bewitchment trap, just like them."Honestly, it's a miracle for someone of your age to have this level of training. However,
While Taylor stood there, stunned, Sebastian bore down on him. Upon seeing Sebastian raising his fist to hit him once more, Taylor hastily pulled himself together and met Sebastian's punch with his own."Are… Are you all stupid?" Blood was seeping out of the back of Taylor's hand as he looked at the people behind him."You've always liked fighting alone, Taylor. We were afraid that we would spoil your fun." Despite what Hank said, he turned on his heel and sent a spinning kick at Sebastian to block his path.Sebastian felt a strong force rushing toward him, and he immediately stopped in the midst of pursuing Taylor. He moved aside and aimed a roundhouse kick at Hank. Yet another wave of energy exploded, and fear flashed across Hank's face. The blow had seemed plain, but it embodied the mysterious principles of martial arts.Even an expert who was two levels higher than Hank would have had his bones broken by that kick, let alone someone who was only at the first level of the Ce
