"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
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
Brayden sneered. "Kill you and cover this up? You overestimate yourselves. This is an act of protecting officials!" The bare fact of the matter was that they were going to kill everyone who knew about the Berkeleys' depraved acts. Once they had done so, the Berkeleys' perfect image would be restored. "Do you think that it's reasonable and lawful for Kayden to act the way he does?" Sebastian asked in a cold, accusing voice. "There's no helping it. Those in power must have some privileges. That's an accepted fact in the world. It's your fault for not being part of this class of people. If you're going to blame anyone, blame yourselves for being born in the wrong family!" Brayden said smugly as he shot Egbert Galen a glance. Egbert strode over to Kayden and crouched down to inspect his injuries. He tapped him with a finger. "Aargh!" The pain made huge beads of sweat drip down Kayden's face."Alright. You can stand up and take a few steps, Mr. Kayden!" Egbert said, putting his
"Oh?" Brayden glanced twice at Sebastian before asking, "What crime has Mr. Kayden committed? Tell me!" Sebastian couldn't be bothered to argue with him and just played the phone recording. The two old men frowned involuntarily when they finished listening to it."You're Inspector Jefferson, aren't you? I'd like to ask you how anyone could want to sleep with a bride at a wedding banquet in front of thousands of guests. Is he an animal? Don't the Berkeleys do this sort of thing in private?"Does this mean that when someone in the Berkeley family gets married, any of the guests or even a mere passerby can have their way with the bride in front of all their friends and family?"Javier turned red, then pale as he listened. He pointed at Sebastian and cursed him loudly. "You bastard! Stop talking nonsense!""Inspector Jefferson, since you admire Mr. Kayden's genes so much, why don't you let him improve your family's gene pool as well? You should especially let Mr. Kayden help out wi
Two black-clad men came up to the car door and opened it for Brayden, who then got out of the car. As he alighted, two elderly men also got out of the black car behind him. They came up beside Brayden and said, "Inspector Jefferson!" Brayden clasped his hands behind his back and nodded as he said, "Mr. Galen, Mr. Irving. Come and get rid of this nuisance with me today. Remember, we must not show any mercy!" The two old men nodded slightly and said, "We'll do as you say, Inspector Jefferson!"Brayden nodded slightly and said to Jayden, "Lead the way!" Jayden hastily gestured for them to go ahead. He led them happily into the Aequor.He had fled the hotel just a while ago, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to have transformed into a different person. He walked into the hotel with his chest puffed up, and his entire demeanor had changed. The attendants on the first floor looked at him in surprise. "Did that handsome young guy go and get himself an invigorating shot of so
