Roberto frowned slightly. He opened his mouth and said, "The contest rules do not state that contestants aren't allowed to formulate their own prescription. "However, Ms. Griffin, if Sebastian insists on formulating his own description, then our mentors will be even more strict in their evaluation and scoring. "I hope that you can let Sebastian know about this, and that he won't be too self-assured. He shouldn't dream about becoming popular overnight."Traditional medicine emphasizes focused research. Don't try to attract attention and popularity like they do in the entertainment industry," he warned. This was sound advice from Roberto.Roberto approved of Sebastian's skills in medicine, but he didn't agree with what Sebastian was planning to do.It was very dangerous to formulate one's own prescription in a professional competition like this one. Firstly, the prescription had to be approved by the mentors. Secondly, the efficacy of the prescription had to be stronger than t
When Sebastian saw this, he said impassively, "Please get up, Mr. Tuffin. Have some tea. It's calming."Howard got up when he heard this. He picked up the teacup from the table and downed it in one gulp.Once he'd had the cup of tea, the hot sensation and nervousness he'd been feeling disappeared at once.Then Sebastian took out the protective charm he'd drawn and handed it to Howard. He said, "Keep this protective charm with you at all times. It'll keep you safe.""Protective charm? Is it useful?" Howard took the protective charm, his expression changing. Sebastian explained, "If you trust me, Mr. Tuffin, then take it with you wherever you go. If you don't believe me, then take this brocade box back."When he heard this, Howard hurriedly smiled humbly and said, "Of course I believe you, Dr. Ballard! I'll get going, then."Sebastian nodded and watched Howard leave. Then he said, "Mr. Tuffin, for the next few days, you'd better stay in Steinberg. Your ophryon is looking rather d
Sebastian hurried to the bathroom to take a shower. Then he walked out and opened the door to the shop to take a deep breath of the fresh air outside.It felt amazing!"My mentor left a lot of ancient medical practices, ancient medical prescriptions, ancient mystic arts, and rare books of martial arts. I can try learning them now," Sebastian thought to himself. Suddenly, his phone rang.He looked at it and saw that Hans was calling."Dr. Ballard, do you have time today? Can you take a look at my wife?" Hans asked respectfully.Sebastian smiled lightly. "Yes.""That's great. I'll come and pick you up right now," Hans said excitedly.Sebastian replied, "Okay."After 20 minutes, Hans drove up in his Range Rover and picked Sebastian up.When they reached Hans' villa, Sebastian got out, and his brow furrowed at once. The villa was covered in a gray layer of cursed energy. "What's the matter, Dr. Ballard?" Hans asked nervously when he saw Sebastian standing there without movin
"Dr. Ballard, what do you want these for? Can they be used for treatment?" Hans asked doubtfully. Sebastian nodded and said, "Mr. Wagner, your wife isn't sick. The problem is your villa.""Villa? What do you mean?" Hans was even more confused. Sebastian explained, "When I was outside, I realized that the geomantic location of your villa isn't very good. There's also a thin layer of cursed energy enveloping it."The cursed energy is strongest in your wife's bedroom! This energy has strongly affected your wife's health, and there's a gray cast on the area under her eyes. That's why you haven't had children for so many years."Look, it's noon right now, and sunshine is coming straight into the bedroom, but it doesn't feel warm at all. It even feels kind of chilly."He asked, "Mr. Wagner, didn't you find it strange after so many years?"Hans was startled. He was a little tongue-tied as he said, "Well… to be honest, Dr. Ballard, I did consult an expert to check this out. He said th
Hans was speechless with shock. He held Amaryllis tightly, trembling all over. How terrifying!Sebastian calmly picked the copper coins up from the floor. He glanced at them, then turned to Hans and Amaryllis. "Everything's fine now," he said. "The cursed energy has dissipated, and the infant spirit that was haunting your villa is gone."Sebastian looked at Amaryllis. As he had expected, her complexion was becoming rosier.Additionally, the grayish tinge on the area underneath her eyes was slowly fading. The room was becoming warmer as well. He could feel warmth spreading through his body. Hans fell to his knees with a loud thump. He prostrated on the ground and said, "Dr. Ballard, you're amazing. You really are an expert! You've opened my eyes today! "I always used to hear about experts in the world, but I've never seen one until today. Please accept this gesture of gratitude!" He bowed deeply. Hans was not very educated. He could only express his gratitude and strong emo
Theresa huffed coldly when she heard him. Then, she turned and got into her car. Before she drove away, she glared at Sebastian and said threateningly, "You'd better think about it carefully. These are very precious opportunities. You had three chances, but now, you only have two left."Sebastian raised an eyebrow and laughed. "Ms. Livington, please stop being so high and mighty. I don't need to beg anyone for anything!"With that, he turned and walked toward the restaurant. Theresa's expression darkened at once. She glared viciously at Sebastian's retreating figure, and her lips curled in disdain. "Pride goes before a fall. Anyone can talk big. I hope that you won't come begging when the time comes!" Theresa stepped on the gas pedal, and with a roar, her sports car shot forward like lightning. A few minutes later, Theresa walked out of the parking lot. She was on the phone. "Don't worry, Whit. I'll make sure that we get the Prosperity Corporation project. I just heard fr
Hans was waiting respectfully for Sebastian inside. When he saw the door open, he hurriedly got up with a smile. "Mr. Ba—"However, what he saw instead was a tall, gorgeous woman who gave off a cold, elegant air. She was a complete stranger to him."Are you in the wrong room, miss?" Hans asked politely. Theresa smiled and stepped forward. She said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Wagner. My name is Theresa Livington. I'm here as a representative of Frostwave Corporation to discuss a project collaboration with you." Immediately, Hans' expression changed. He sat back down and said, frowning, "Frostwave Corporation? A collaboration with me? How did you find this place?""I have my ways." Theresa smiled and continued, "We haven't collaborated yet, but I believe that we will be collaborating soon."Hans glanced at the door to the room and said coldly, "Ms. Livington, right? I'm sorry, I'm here to entertain an important guest today. If it's about a project collaboration, you may contact t
Sebastian?How could it be him?Was he Hans' important guest?What kind of plot twist was this?"Sebastian, what are you doing here?" Theresa stood up. Surprise was written all over her pretty features. Sebastian glanced indifferently at Theresa. He laughed and said, "Is there a problem?"Hans realized that Theresa and Sebastian knew each other, so he quickly suppressed his anger. He asked doubtfully, "Dr. Ballard, do you know her?"Sebastian nodded and said, "I do know her, but we're not close."These words made Theresa's expression change. However, she thought for a moment and said immediately, "What do you mean? I'm your wife's best friend!"With that, she boldly sat down. Sebastian's expression changed seeing Theresa sit down. "She's my ex-wife now," he reminded her.Theresa rolled her eyes at him and huffed coldly. She looked at Hans, smiled, and said, "Mr. Wagner, please consider the project I mentioned earlier." Hans raised his eyebrows slightly. He glanced at Seb
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
