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
Whitney frowned slightly as she glanced at Lisa. She could see that there was something odd in Lisa's expression.She said quickly, "Don't hide it from me. Is your mother very ill? How about I call Sebastian right now so that he can go with you to have a look?" As Whitney spoke, she pulled out her phone and called Sebastian. She told him about Lisa's situation and instructed him to help her no matter what. After all, Lisa was the manager of the production hall, and her main responsibility involved production. If she became distracted because of such a small issue, it would be sure to affect the first batch of drugs that would be handed over to the military. "I'll take him to see her tomorrow, and I'll drive both of you to the hospital together. He's already promised to treat her," Whitney said, smiling."How could I accept that, Ms. Sutton?" Lisa's frown tightened. She felt so ashamed that she didn't dare to look Whitney in the eyes."Oh, it's nothing. Don't think too much, an
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
