"I have given you my all! You can't dismiss all my efforts. You—" Gunther wiped away the tears on his face and sat on the floor in a daze.Hunter had made himself very clear. When faced with a choice between two billion and Gunther, he had chosen to abandon Gunther."You are very wise, Mr. Sloane." Sebastian grinned as he walked up to Gunther and glanced down at him."Mr. Ballard, I'm begging you! Please let me go! I was just—" Before Gunther could finish, Hunter kicked him and sent him sprawling. Then, he shot a meaningful look at his lackeys.The lackeys immediately rushed up to Gunther and began beating him up so hard that he curled up on the floor, howling with pain. "It's going to take forever if you do it like that. Our time is very precious." Sebastian frowned as he looked over. Hunter was clearly trying to prevent Gunther from finishing his sentence. He didn't really intend to cripple Gunther. After all, Gunther had worked with him for many years and had been very loy
Hunter's face was as black as thunder. He shot a look at one of his lackeys, who was standing beside him. Exactly one billion dollars was soon transferred to Zane's bank account."Seb, the money has been transferred." Zane showed Sebastian the message he had received from the bank.Sebastian smiled and said to Hunter, "I hope that we will never cross paths again. You'd better refrain from trying to mess with my friend. Otherwise, I can't say for sure who's going to end up going down!" He shot a look at Gavin and Rose and began sauntering toward the exit. "Mr. Sloane, are we just going to let him go like that?" a man dressed in a black martial arts outfit asked in a low voice. His gaze was filled with indignation as he watched Sebastian's retreating figure. "You idiot!" Hunter slapped him and pointed at the door. "The people from the Security Department are all outside. Do you want to go against them?" He glanced at Gunther, who was lying in a puddle of blood, and waved a hand
"Gunther's a cripple now and is of no further use to Hunter. However, he'll be very useful to us. He's the only one who knows Hunter inside out," Sebastian said calmly. Since they were now in a feud with Hunter, they had to know their enemy. After the fuss they had kicked up, the patrons of the Glam Club were in no mood to keep playing. Not long after Sebastian and the others left, the crowd began dispersing. As they walked out, many of them were discussing Sebastian. The gemstone betting that night had made Sebastian famous in the gemstone betting circle overnight.Sebastian told Zane to take a more roundabout way back to the mountains behind the Glam Club. After searching for some time, they found Gunther lying unconscious in the grass."Carry him into the car," Sebastian said, gesturing for Gavin to come and help. They all worked together to heave Gunther into the trunk. Half an hour after Sebastian and the others had left, Hunter calmed down completely and suddenly realized
"Why… Why did you save me?" Gunther wasn't an idiot. He knew that Sebastian wouldn't have saved him for no reason. The only thing he trusted was profit. Anyone in this world who treated him well was only doing so because there was something in it for them. "I want to ask you two questions. If you answer them well, I can help you treat your legs," Sebastian said impassively."You?" Gunther scoffed. "How can my legs recover? Do you think you're some kind of god?""Look at him!" Sebastian pointed at Zane, who was sipping tea.Gunther's pupils constricted.Sebastian had a point. Gunther had broken Zane's legs in seven or eight places, and they had been completely crushed. It was impossible for them to have been connected together again."Why should I believe you?" Gunther asked guardedly. He didn't believe that Sebastian could have that kind of medical skills—he was clearly too young.Besides, if he told Sebastian everything that he wanted to know, he would lose his value. If Sebas
"Andon was also known as Mr. Grylls in Steinberg. He was just a thug, but he managed to obtain something very important to the Sloanes. As for what it is, I didn't have the authority to know," Gunther answered calmly."Have the Sloanes found Andon?" Sebastian asked, frowning. "He's very sly, so we still haven't found his exact location. However, it's only a matter of time before the Sloanes find him.""How is Hunter planning to deal with me?""It's very simple. He'll find a way to transfer Larys and Vince out of Steinberg, and then he was planning to attack the two women with you. After all, if you were just a nobody, Jace wouldn't have asked the Sloanes to join forces with him.""When and where are they planning to attack?" Sebastian asked heavily, raising an eyebrow. Gunther had worked with Hunter for four years, and he was very good at sensing the emotions of the person he was talking to. He could see an intent to murder in Sebastian's expression."I won't tell you unless y
The sweat soaked Gunther's clothes in an instant. However, his mouth remained wide open, and he couldn't make a single sound.After two minutes, Sebastian pulled out the silver needles. Gunther panted heavily and looked as if he'd been granted mercy. He stared at Sebastian in abject fear. He was afraid that Sebastian would prick him with another needle."Well? Can you tell us now?" Sebastian asked, toying with the silver needles."Forget it!" As soon as Gunther finished, the silver needles in Sebastian's hand plunged into his pain acupuncture points once more. After this had repeated itself a couple more times, Gunther finally broke down completely. "I'll talk! I'll talk! Stop torturing me…" Gunther wept as he pleaded with them. "You… You people are so cruel! How could you torture a wounded person like this? You're all going to die a nasty death!" "Is he really crying, Seb?" Zane couldn't help laughing."Why don't you try it out? We'll see if you cry too." Gavin rolled his eyes
"How is he planning to do that?" Sebastian asked in a relaxed manner."He found one of Sunway's Four Talents, Tyler Searle. They'll probably take action within the next couple of days," Gunther said. He had given up everything he knew about Hunter.…Meanwhile, in an exclusive suite on the top floor of The Elysium in Sunway, a man in his 40s was sitting on several skimpily dressed female masseuses. He was rolling a polished Eightfold Ball over them, and he was dressed in white training clothes. A young man with a buzzcut who was wearing a jacket reported respectfully, "Mr. Tyler, we've investigated and we found out that the Sutton woman doesn't have much of a background to speak of. She's just the heiress of the Steinberg Suttons. "The Suttons are only a third-rate family, even in a small place like Steinberg. They have no connections worth mentioning. "The Griffin woman will be a little trickier to deal with. Apparently, she's the heiress of the Janover Griffins, but she does
The middle-aged man was named Artie Morrison. He glanced toward the pharmaceutical factory from time to time. He was obviously waiting for someone.After about ten minutes, a young woman in business attire walked quickly out of the front doors of the pharmaceutical factory. She looked to either side and hurried into an alley down the street when she was sure that no one had noticed her. The woman was Lisa Lovell, and she was the manager of the factory's production hall."Have you investigated thoroughly?" Artie asked in a low voice as he looked around warily. "Yes. The Whitney that you're looking for is probably the 'Ms. Sutton' that the factory manager talked about," Lisa answered in a low voice. "Will you be able to lure her to the mouth of the alley?" Artie asked as he pointed at an even smaller alley in the distance."I'll try my best. After all, I'm only the manager of the production hall. It won't be easy to think of a reason," Lisa said reluctantly. "You can't just tr
"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
