"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
If they could follow the trail and get rid of the Sanguis Cult's den in Sartvale, it would be a fitting revenge for Gavin's fallen comrades. "No. I'd better go over to Whitney's," Rose said as she stood up. She slipped her dagger and a few blades into her sleeves.Rose had been the first person Sebastian had thought of, but he hadn't been able to bring himself to ask her to go and protect Whitney. Rose had a natural advantage. As she was a woman, it would be perfectly convenient for her to be with Whitney at all times. Sebastian also trusted Rose's capabilities in stalking and deception, so he nodded and said, "That would be the best. However…" He paused before saying, "It would be better to take them alive.""I'll do my best!" Rose said as she walked out. Not long after she left, Sebastian received a call from the sanatorium. Liam said heavily over the phone, "Seb, my grandfather is kicking up a fuss about taking your medicinal potion. He won't even listen to the doctor no
Sebastian nodded and smiled at Wyatt in greetings. Wyatt finally sat down in his chair and said, "Well, tell me why I can't drink alcohol.""Of course you can. Why not?" Sebastian chuckled."Seb!" Liam shot him a meaningful look. "Liam, Mr. Holman Senior is allowed to drink alcohol. Things that are pungent are good for the lungs, and alcohol can help. Why shouldn't he drink it?" Sebastian explained to Liam. "Sebastian, your medical skills are as advanced as ever. What you said makes sense. Come, let's shake hands. After that, we must have a few drinks together." Wyatt got up and shook Sebastian's hand heartily. Sebastian was his savior! That bunch of doctors in white coats had all refused to allow him to drink. Sebastian was the only one who supported him, so Wyatt immediately thought of him as a close friend. "Mr. Ballard, is Mr. Holman Senior really allowed to have alcohol in his condition?" Jonah asked worriedly."Yes, but he's only allowed to have elderflower wine. Add s
Liam also put down his glass and stared intently at Wyatt.Wyatt's stance represented the entire Holman family. If Wyatt gave his support, Liam could forge ahead without any worries. "As long as it's related to the Sanguis Cult, then kill them! Rid us completely of that evil!" Wyatt said through gritted teeth, clenching his fists."I understand," Liam said, nodding heavily. "You don't have to worry about the Sloanes. I'm an old man, but I have some favors to call in among the higher-ups. "If they dare to stand with the Sanguis Cult, then it means that they are openly standing against me and my old pals, and all of Crestborne. You don't need to show any mercy to those who betray their people!" Wyatt's steely voice echoed in the hall.He added, "However, there's one more thing. You must not kill the innocent. You need to have evidence for everything." After all, the Sloanes were not an ordinary family. That was why they would have to have an airtight plan with clear evidence.
As night fell, Arctic Snow Group's pharmaceutical factory slowly emptied. There were only a few security guards on the night shift who were left."Ms. Sutton, please wait," Lisa stuck her head out of her office and called out as Whitney walked out of the office."What is it?" Whitney asked, stopping in her tracks. "Ms. Sutton, I just want to thank you. Shall we have dinner together?" Lisa asked. She took her trench coat down from the rack and came out of her office. She could have gone home hours ago, but she had stayed in the office to wait for Whitney to come out."It's alright. I'm going to eat at home." Whitney smiled at her. She hadn't seen Sebastian for days, and she did miss him a little. For some reason, ever since she had started living together with Sebastian again, memories of their marriage together had kept flashing up in her mind."Ms. Sutton, I also have a few questions that I'd like your advice on," Lisa said. She took out a document folder and held it out to
"Whitney, was that woman from your factory? It doesn't seem like it," Zane asked as he drove."She's the manager of the production hall. She just wants to buy me a meal," Whitney answered, sounding slightly annoyed."Whitney, you've got to be wary of her," Zane said seriously."What do you mean by that?" Whitney was irritated. Firstly, Zane had scared her half to death and had insisted that she leave quickly, and now he was meddling in her relationships with her colleagues at the factory.Even Sebastian didn't try to interfere with these things. So, what right did Zane have to try and interfere?"Later, that woman—" Zane still did not know how to address Rose."Which woman?" Whitney said angrily, looking impatient. "The female assassin. When she gets back, you'll know why," Zane explained hurriedly."Her?" Whitney couldn't help frowning."Yes. Actually, Seb wasn't the one who asked me to come and pick you up. It was her. She told me to bring you home and wait for her there."
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
