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
With the help of a few firemen, they managed to lift the bus driver out.A license plate had been the object that had pierced his abdomen. The rectangular metal plate had pierced sideways into the driver's abdomen, so there was only a tiny bit that still remained exposed.The driver's wound was bleeding, but there was a pale green liquid trickling out with the blood as well."Oh no! His spinal nerves have been severed!" Sebastian pushed several firemen away and approached the driver. He pulled out his silver needles to administer treatment."What do you do for a living?" the man in glasses asked Sebastian accusingly. He had squeezed into the crowd some time ago and was pointing at Sebastian."I'm rescuing someone! Please do not disturb me!" Sebastian said as he got ready to administer the needles. "Rescuing someone? The victim is severely injured and needs to be operated on at once. Anyone who is unrelated and any charlatans should leave immediately!" The man in glasses called o
"My grandfather is Nathan Whitaker, the commander of Sunway's military!" Isabel's expression turned cold, and she spoke in a cold voice.Upon hearing that she was Nathan's granddaughter, several officers looked hesitant and stepped aside, too afraid to continue stopping Sebastian."The victim is in a very critical condition. Who's going to take responsibility if there are any problems?" Mark used his trump card."I will take responsibility for him," Sebastian said sternly. "What will you be responsible for him with? This is a matter of life and death!" Mark yelled angrily."You should at least let this young man try," Marissa said very calmly."Who the hell are you?" Mark was furious. Why were all these beautiful women ganging up on him, seemingly on purpose?"Robin Keller is my husband, and he's part of Sartvale's Medical Research Association. If you have any doubts about this young doctor, you may call my husband to vouch for him!" Marissa glared at Mark.Upon hearing Robin'
The Northmans would only participate in this project as a shareholder. After all, the formula of the new anti-cancer drug belonged to Sebastian, and it would be more appropriate for Arctic Snow Group to be the representative in the collaboration with Astrocorp."Alright. I'll get back right now," Sebastian said before hanging up."Mr. Ballard, if you have urgent business to attend to, go ahead. Isabel and I will come and visit you tomorrow morning," Marissa said with a smile.Sebastian and Isabel chatted for a while before he rushed toward the Moonlyte Club. Astrocorp was a large national enterprise, and it was one of the few companies in the pharmaceutical industry which did both wholesale and retail. Most importantly, they had a share in foreign markets.When Zane saw Sebastian push the door open and enter the office, he stepped forward and stopped him before saying in a small voice, "Seb, I have to warn you. The person that Astrocorp has sent to sign the contract with us is no
The elevator shot up to the 18th floor. After walking out of the elevator, the lights immediately dimmed. This did not look like the kind of place to discuss business.In Room 1801, Maddox was together with over a dozen local Steinberg dealers. All of them had women with thick makeup on in their arms as they talked and laughed together.There was an empty seat next to him, and it had clearly been left deliberately for Rosalie.He had chosen to discuss their deal at this location so that he could get Rosalie drunk and have his way with her after that.Maddox couldn't help licking his lips when he thought of Rosalie's gorgeous figure.Before coming to Steinberg, Jace had sent someone to see him. He had also told Maddox about the feud between the Beckards and Sebastian. Maddox was only a manager at Astrocorp. He had never attracted the attention of a prestigious family from Janover like the Beckards.When he heard the news of Stephen being turned into a cripple by Sebastian, Maddo
"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
