"You're at Level One of the Celestial stage. Why are you willing to be the Gullivers' lackey? Besides, the Gullivers no longer exist. Why are you so fixated on this?" Sebastian said as he continued to walk forward. He clearly didn't intend to stop.However, when he heard the old man mention his battle with Bianca five days ago, his heart sank involuntarily. Was the old man the person who had sent him the letter that day?"I am not associated with the Gullivers, and I didn't come on their behalf. Otherwise, I wouldn't have commanded someone to send you the secret letter five days ago. However, under any circumstances, you should not have been so harsh on Mr. Thompson." The old man's eyes grew colder."Sir, that was the Gullivers' fault. This has nothing to do with you. Besides, I bear no grudge against you, and I do not wish to hurt you," Sebastian said sincerely. Since the old man had tipped him off that day, he was clearly not an evil person. Sebastian was only vicious toward tho
Sebastian remained perfectly calm as he clamped two fingers around Lana's sword. He grinned at her.Lana felt as if her sword had melded into his hand. She couldn't pierce him with it, nor could she pull it away."Let go!" Lana was furious. She used all her strength and tugged it backward, but she hadn't expected Sebastian to cooperate! He released the sword at once, but she had pulled it back so violently that she ended up stumbling several steps backward before falling flat on her backside. "Lana!" Nate rushed over to help her up. Lana's face had turned bright red, and she hid behind Claude in shame and humiliation. Before coming, she had thought dismissively that Sebastian would kill himself as soon as he saw them. However, she had been completely wrong. Sebastian had only had to move his fingers to get rid of her."Sir, I don't think these two are up to much. If we have to fight, why don't you and I battle against each other?" Sebastian said to Claude, smiling.Claude frown
That meant that Sebastian's skill was far above Claude's. Besides, Sebastian had only thrown out a very casual punch. He hadn't used all his strength at all.That shocked Claude even more. If Sebastian had put all his strength into it, he would've killed Claude with that punch."Mr. Sheridan!" Lana and Nate shouted and hurried to help Claude up.Claude waved quickly at them and forced himself to endure the churning energy in his organs as he said, "The new generation is to be feared. Who is your mentor, my young friend?""I cannot reveal the name of my mentor," Sebastian said, smiling slightly. "With training like yours, why did you kill Barnabas? He was no match for you at all," Claude said, clutching his chest."He deserved to die," Sebastian said coldly."How dare you!" Nate said angrily as he pointed at Sebastian. Sebastian slapped him and said in an icy tone, "If it weren't out of respect for this old gentleman, both of you would be cold corpses by now. If you say anothe
Rose had already reached the entrance to The Elysium, but there was a sign which showed that it was closed. The entrance seemed deserted.In a luxurious private room on the third floor, Winston knelt in front of Tyler. He was bruised and battered."Mr. Tyler, do you think that those people got killed by their old enemies?" a man clad in black asked doubtfully.There had been over ten of them, and all of them had been lawless ruffians. Besides, they had been armed with guns. However, someone had killed them without a sound."I actually hope that it was an old enemy of theirs who murdered them." Tyler felt strangely uneasy.Those men had been his trump card. They had been the ones who had taken care of troublesome opponents for him for years. They were his last resort, and now they were all gone. How could he not hate Winston?"Damn it! I told you again and again to be careful!" Tyler said as he slapped Winston again."Mr. Tyler, I did as you said. Who would've thought that they w
As soon as Tyler finished speaking, ten guns instantly pointed at Sebastian and Rose. However, just as Tyler thought that they would kill Sebastian for sure, both Sebastian and Rose suddenly disappeared right in front of his eyes. The black-clad men who were holding the guns were startled, but before they could react, they felt a chill on their wrists as a white figure flashed past them. They stared as their hands thumped onto the floor, still holding the guns. "Aargh!""My hand!" The rest of the men had their broken, while all their guns ended up with Sebastian. "Tyler, your men don't seem to be very useful." Sebastian tossed the dozen or so guns onto the table and looked calmly at Tyler.Tyler stared at the guns on the table in a daze and swallowed with difficulty. He finally understood why Sebastian had been bold enough to come alone. His exceptional skill was what made him bold."Mr. Ballard, how do you think we should resolve the issue between us?" Tyler had lost his do
Tyler was sweating profusely from the pain, and he could no longer speak. He could only muster up the strength to nod and grunt in reply to Sebastian's question."Thanks. Take care of your injuries." Sebastian patted Tyler on the shoulder and left the room with Rose."Why didn't you kill him?" Rose asked in confusion as they walked off. People like Tyler were very likely to seek revenge in the future. It would be better to get rid of him completely rather than let someone potentially harmful survive. "After killing Tyler, there will be others like him. Would it be of any use? Besides, leaving Tyler alive can act as a good example for all the thugs in Sunway," Sebastian said, smiling."What should we do about Hunter?" Rose asked without thinking. He was the real mastermind. If they didn't get rid of him, the trouble would not stop."He'll deliver himself to us." Sebastian seemed to remember something, and he turned and said to Rose, "Have you heard of someone named Gordon Baxter
"Oh, you're here to see… Mr. Ballard?" Zane raised his voice by a few decibels on purpose. "Please sit down. I'll go and notify him." With that, he hurried into the elevator and went up to the top floor.Before long, Sebastian walked out of the elevator and smiled at Isabel, saying, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Ms. Jimenez.""Let's go, Mr. Ballard. I've reserved a spot at Destiny Café for us. We still have 20 minutes, so we should be able to make it," Isabel said, smiling as she shook hands with Sebastian. She was always punctual, and she could be accurate down to the minute when it came to the time. That was one of the good habits she had kept up over many years."Shall I ask Ms. Griffin to come?" Sebastian asked.Time was more precious than gold to powerful businesswomen like Isabel. She wouldn't just buy someone a meal for no reason. She might have heard some news on the grapevine and also wanted to collaborate with the army by becoming a shareholder in their project. S
"Yes. As always, you're the one I can trust to do things, Isabel." Marissa finally let out a smile."What is the issue you currently wish to fix, Marissa?" Sebastian asked as he took a sip of scented tea.Marissa pointed at the freckles on her face and said, "My face. As you know, I was once pregnant. After miscarrying, the blemishes on my face should have disappeared, but they've been like that for almost ten years."The older a woman was, the more she cared about her appearance. That was because they knew very well that they were no longer young. If they didn't pay more attention to skincare, they would age very quickly. Marissa had a very thick layer of makeup plastered on her face. Despite that, her blemishes could still be seen faintly. She was only average-looking at best, and she could not be deemed naturally beautiful at all. The scars on her face made her even less attractive.To a woman in upper-class society, the state of their face was very important and was the fou
"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
