Chapter 1271

Author: Wendell Mayhew
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

    Rosalie handed the glass to Sebastian.Sebastian swallowed. When had he agreed to be her boyfriend?Besides, if he drank that glass of brandy, he'd be drunk too. "Do you bring your boyfriend along to discuss business?" Maddox scoffed as he glanced at Sebastian."It's alright. You can go ahead with your discussion. Don't mind me." Sebastian took the glass and set it aside without drinking it. "I happened to bump into my boyfriend at the door, so I asked him to come along," Rosalie lied. "Oh? What's your name? Where do you work?" Maddox asked persistently as he sat down, chuckling. "My name is Sebastian Ballard. I'm currently just a consultant at Arctic Snow Group," Sebastian said and bowed slightly to them all. "Oh, I see that we're dealing with a business run by a couple here. It's not the kind where the woman wears the pants, is it?" the tall and thin men said sarcastically in a provocative manner. "I'm not interested in running a business at all. We all have our talent

    "As long as nobody dies, attack when we have to," Sebastian said to Gavin in a very low voice. Gavin slapped Maddox at once. "You—how dare you slap me?" Maddox had only been focusing on Sebastian and Rosalie. He hadn't noticed Gavin at all."He's licensed to hit people. It's all done according to the law," Sebastian said, pointing at Gavin. "Well, Rosalie! I'll give you one last chance. If you agree to my request now, you'll still make it in time," Maddox said angrily. "Gav, our safety depends on you," Sebastian said, pretending to look scared.Gavin took a deep breath. He was exasperated at Sebastian pretending to be some innocent, besotted lover boy. "Sebastian, don't let Gavin blow this up. The launch of our new anti-cancer drug in Yarroland depends on whether or not this collaboration will happen," Rosalie reminded him in a low voice.She hadn't expected Maddox to ask for something like that. She had planned to stall and call the police on the pretext of going to the t

    "M-Ms. Griffin, let's… let's talk." Maddox had gone pale with fear, and sweat was beading on his forehead.The drug suppliers who had humiliated Sebastian with Maddox didn't even dare to breathe. They looked fearfully at Gavin and Sebastian."Is he really such a good fighter?" Rosalie looked at Gavin in slight surprise.It seemed that Sebastian had foresight. It had been right to bring Gavin along. Sebastian smiled slightly and stood up. He walked slowly over to Maddox and said, "Do you know, I really didn't want to hurt you, but you really don't know how to respect others.""M-Mr. Sebastian… no, Mr. Ballard, I…" Maddox only got halfway through his sentence when Sebastian cut him off with a slap in the face."Who did you say you wanted to kill?" Sebastian asked, looking icily at Maddox. "N-No, I… I was talking nonsense." Maddox was incoherent with fear. "Seb, I think we should forget it," Gavin said automatically. After all, Maddox was different from those thugs, and Rosalie

    All Maddox would have to do was send the video to headquarters. Not only would the collaboration between Arctic Snow Group and Astrocorp be over, the latter would even blacklist all Arctic Snow Group's products.Maddox pulled out his phone and sent Jace a message at once. He then said to his confidantes, "I'm not a petty guy, but Ballard just went too far! How about this? You send the video of what happened just now over to headquarters. We'll just wait in Steinberg for good news from them.""Alright, I'll do it right now." The tall and thin man got up quickly and headed outside. …Meanwhile, after Rosalie had sent Gavin back to the Moonlyte Club, she started the engine once more and headed right for the Coltranes' mall."I have clothes, don't I? Why do I need to buy more?" Sebastian said, looking at the Ytalian hand-made suit he was wearing. They had just bought this a few days ago! Its workmanship and material would be more than appropriate for the event."This is a busine

    "Jaxon Lark?" Rosalie turned and looked at the man in the blue suit in surprise."It's been a while, Rosalie," Jaxon said. He stretched out his arms, as if he was getting ready to give her a hug."It's been a while indeed." Rosalie hastily stuck her hand out to shake hands with him and maintain a safe distance.Jaxon had no choice but to shake hands with her awkwardly."Aren't you doing business abroad, Mr. Lark? What are you doing in Sartvale?" Rosalie asked, frowning.The Larks were involved in international trade and the supermarket business. They were wealthy even by Janover standards. Jaxon had had a crush on Rosalie since middle school. He had been sent abroad to study in his second year of high school, and ended up staying on to build his career there."My family asked me to come back and help out. We're planning to open a big mall in Sartvale soon, as well as a few franchised supermarkets, so I gave up the opportunities I had there and came back to help," Jaxon said rat

    Tears rolled down Rosalie's cheeks as she spoke.Sebastian was flabbergasted. What was going on?""Last night? I didn't sleep with you last night," Sebastian said, looking wronged."Then it must have been the day before yesterday. We slept together that night."Sebastian was rendered speechless by what Rosalie had said. The day before yesterday, he really had slept with Rosalie because she had forcefully requested him to do so.Jaxon was furious as he stood there and listened to Rosalie and Sebastian bickering back and forth like a couple!"Rosalie must be blind! How could she have feelings for a petty, ungrateful guy like you?" Jaxon said angrily. He had turned pale with fury and was pointing at Sebastian. He wasn't angry because Sebastian had been unfaithful. He was angry that a guy like that had slept with his dream woman!When he'd heard Rosalie say so, Jaxon felt as if he'd been struck by lightning. He would have liked nothing better than to kill Sebastian to vent his hat

    Jaxon turned and walked down the escalator. As Rosalie watched him leave, she burst into laughter. Sebastian rolled his eyes at her and said, "You are such a drama queen. Don't you think that was much too convincing?"Rosalie giggled and said, "Who said that I was acting? I did sleep with you.""I…" Sebastian could not think of anything to say to her. He felt dizzy and regretted making an impulsive decision at the time."We were sleeping together fully clothed!" he protested."Did you want to take my clothes off?" Rosalie looked fearfully at Sebastian.Sebastian was rendered speechless. He rolled his eyes but could not think of anything to say. Women, particularly smart women, would always have the advantage morally."Let's go, handsome. Let's eat." Rosalie took Sebastian's arm. Even the shop assistants in the neighboring shops were dumbstruck. Either Sebastian was much too charismatic, or Rosalie was a very good actress. They watched the two of them take the escalator do

    "Hello, Mr. Zohan." Rosalie went up to him quickly and shook hands with him. Paul Zohan glanced at the area Rosalie was in, and he said arrogantly, "Do you want to come and sit at my table?""No it's alright. I just popped in to have a look today. It doesn't matter where I sit." Rosalie declined Paul politely and sat back down next to Sebastian. "We don't seem to be very popular." Sebastian frowned and looked around. Every other area seemed to be better than theirs."Shh, keep your voice down." Rosalie pointed at the tables near the entrance and said, "Did you know that even the people who sit there are worth billions? Anyone who's attending this gala must belong to the upper class of Steinberg. Ordinary people can't even get in." Rosalie was making herself very clear. As part of the younger generation, or a young person who hadn't made a name for themselves yet, they were already being given respect by even being allowed to sit there. At least they were better off than those s

    Sebastian looked up at the shadowy figures, among which there were children. They were probably the Flemin Village inhabitants who had disappeared without a trace overnight 30 years ago!"Not only did you commit murder, you even wanted to imprison them here forever! You're unbelievably cruel! Also, what kind of grudge does your family have against that young woman?" Sebastian asked accusingly as he pointed at Candy.Although Candy had been hostile toward Sebastian from the beginning, he knew that it wasn't out of her own will. It was the will of the snake that had merged with her soul. "You are far too nosy, young man. How do you know the young woman doesn't want to become part of our family? Perhaps she's thrilled at the very thought right now!" Violet cackled. Sebastian took a deep breath. He looked at the shadowy figures around him and at Candy, who was standing at the window."I'll give you one chance," he said. "Let them all go and remove the snake curse from that young wom

    Sebastian let out a turbid breath. He could feel that his strength was much stronger than before. He still wasn't in peak condition, but it was still wonderful news to him. At least he had now restored more than half his powers. Sebastian had just gotten up and stretched when he heard a series of knocks on the door."Mr. Ballard, time to eat!" Scott said tentatively. He was terrified of disturbing him.Sebastian answered, "I'll be out soon!"When Scott saw Sebastian, he realized that the latter no longer looked as pale as he had at first, and there was a slight rosy tinge to his complexion. He smiled and said, "Mr. Ballard, you're looking pretty good today!"Sebastian only smiled impassively but didn't respond. They returned to the Martial Arts Court building, where a large platter of meat had already been placed on the table for Sebastian."Mr. Ballard, we don't have much to eat here. Apart from game, all we have is beef. I was afraid that you wouldn't be accustomed to it,

    Perhaps the tiger's instincts had alerted it to the feeling of danger. "Bind!"Just as the tiger turned to escape into the forest, Sebastian gave a curt command. In an instant, an invisible pressure bound the tiger tightly where it was. The tiger had its back to Sebastian, but it could feel death approaching, and it couldn't help growling mournfully. Sebastian slapped the back of the tiger's head, and he destroyed half the tiger's body instantly."Holy sh—Mr. Ballard!"Scott stared at Sebastian in shock. What he had just witnessed was beyond the scope of his imagination. Even the legends of warriors fighting against tigers had described a life-and-death struggle. However, this particular tiger hadn't been able to fight back against Sebastian at all!Sebastian looked at the glistening heaps of blood and flesh on the ground, and he pulled out a dozen porcelain bottles. He filled five of them with tiger blood, then hacked off a large chunk of tiger meat, which he placed in a p

    Kayden watched Sebastian walk off and gritted his teeth. "Sebastian Ballard! If you dare to return to Acorn City, I'll make sure you die a horrible death!""Mr. Berkeley, there's no need to get yourself worked up over someone like that. Violet said that she would help you deal with him, didn't she?" Candy said icily. Kayden huffed angrily and hurried back to the car. Colton and Jayden followed hastily. …After they entered the forest, Scott led Sebastian to a hill. He pointed at the paw prints on the ground and said, "Look, Mr. Ballard!"Sebastian didn't look in the direction that Scott was pointing at. Instead, he focused warily on the sounds around them. Suddenly, a gust of wind swept over them, bringing the pungent smell of blood. The leaves in the forest rustled noisily as they were battered by the wind."It's coming!" Sebastian said calmly.Scott jumped in fright and hastily retreated behind Sebastian. Cohen looked warily around them. There was an old saying which sai

    Scott seemed used to it and didn't even look up. As he ate, he said to Sebastian, "Mr. Ballard, don't be surprised. This is a common occurrence!"Sebastian glanced at him and took another large bite of beef. He smiled and said, "You're alone here. Aren't you afraid?""Afraid? Is there any use in being afraid?" Scott asked. "To be honest, I've been transferred here for almost three months, and no one's come to replace me yet. They told me at the beginning that we'd be changed once a month!"Then, he turned and gave Cohen a meaningful look."Someone will come and replace you next month," Cohen said, although it was obviously an empty promise.At that moment, a black SUV drove into Flemin Village and headed straight toward the villas.At the entrance to the neighborhood where the villas were, a few young men and women got out of the car. One of the young women was supporting a young man, who was limping. They walked toward the villas. Among the young men and women, a few of them w

    In the process of the investigation, the police had discovered that some of the houses in the village still had their lights on and that there was still food cooking on the stoves. However, the people in the houses seemed to have all disappeared into thin air.From then on, Flemin Village had become a deserted place that no one dared to live in.As for the villas, no one knew when they had been built, nor did anyone know who the owners of the villas were. However, the sound of ghostly wails and screams could often be heard inside. Even the deacons from the local Martial Arts Court wouldn't go near them if they could help it. It was rumored that all the wronged spirits of the villagers were in those villas. Someone had once looked in the windows of the villas in the middle of the night, and they had been filled with fearful human faces. However, during the day, the villas were unusually quiet. There was no sign of human activity in any of them."Mr. Gabbard, you seem to be ve

    However, Kayden's rage was futile. Even the deacons beside him advised him in low voices not to try and issue a challenge. Otherwise, he was sure to end up in an even worse state.After settling the bill, the deacons helped Kayden into the elevator.Kayden was badly injured. Not only was he now disfigured, but he also had fractures of varying degrees in his shoulders and ribs. When he was brought to the hospital, despite being given three times the usual dose of anesthetic, he still let out bloodcurdling yells from inside the operating room. Amidst his screams, he swore inwardly that he would use all the connections of the Berkeleys to crush Sebastian completely!…Back at the restaurant, Candy sneered as her gaze swept over Sebastian. She had been with Kayden the entire time. Beating up Kayden was different from destroying the Lynches. The Lynches were also an elite martial arts family in Acorn City, but their status couldn't be compared to the Berkeleys at all.The Berke

    "Mr. Berkeley, is it? It doesn't matter whether you're an heir, all adults must take responsibility for their words and actions," Sebastian said icily."Kill him!" Kayden shouted.He was convulsing with pain. Although the wounds on his shoulders weren't fatal, it was also the spot on the body with the least amount of flesh and the thinnest skin.Sebastian had pieced through his bones with that move, and it wasn't the kind of pain that an ordinary person could withstand. It was surprising that Kayden hadn't fainted from the pain.A few deacons from the Martial Arts Court immediately rushed in Sebastian's direction, but they were sent packing faster than they had come. One of the deacons was sent sailing through the air in Kayden's direction and landed heavily on top of him. In less than ten seconds, all five of the deacons were sprawled out on the floor, writhing. Kayden was pinned below the first deacon, unable to move at all. Sebastian stood up and walked slowly over to him.

    Kayden might seem generous, but anyone could tell that he had been targeting Sebastian since coming in."Well! After all my years in Acorn City, this is the first time someone has refused to let me pick up the tab! You're pretty bold, aren't you?"Kayden went over to Sebastian's table and pulled up a chair, staring scornfully at him."You're just as bold." Sebastian put his knife and fork down and glanced fleetingly at Kayden."Want to know something, brat? There was once a very arrogant young guy who offended me with what he said. He's currently still in the ICU!" Kayden said threateningly."Like you said, that was in the past. It's got nothing to do with the present," Sebastian replied, grinning. "I admire how calm you are, brat. You bullied my woman, and now I'm sitting right in front of you, yet you're still so calm. Impressive! Maybe you don't know who I am."There was a fierce glint in Kayden's eyes as he spoke.Sebastian scoffed. "Whoever you are, what does it have to d
