"Seb—no, Mr. Ballard…" Dexter had just called out to Sebastian when he realized that he had to be more polite. He had always called Sebastian by name before, but this time, he changed it."You don't have to be so polite, Mr. Coltrane Senior. Your grandson was the one who made a mistake, not you," Sebastian said, smiling at Dexter. He had noticed that Hamish's complexion was slowly getting better.Realizing that Sebastian wasn't planning to cause the Coltranes any trouble, Dexter breathed a sigh of relief.As for Maverick, Dexter wouldn't intervene no matter how Sebastian decided to deal with him."He hit my lobby manager just now. I hope that the Coltranes can give me a satisfactory resolution for this." Sebastian pointed at Lila."You've brought shame on this family!" Dexter roared. He slapped Maverick, who felt so wronged that he wished he was dead. Sebastian had broken his legs, and he had expected Dexter to come and avenge him.However, the opposite had happened. Dexter had
Sebastian shook his head slightly. From how Barney had acted when he left, Sebastian knew that he would be sure to try and get revenge in the future.Therefore, Sebastian felt no compassion in his heart at all.When the sun began to set, Hamish finally opened his eyes and sat up with great difficulty. He said, "I'm sorry, Seb. My carelessness has smeared your name."Sebastian smiled slightly and said, "You didn't smear my name at all. You did very well."He chuckled and gave Hamish a small black pill. He told him to take it as soon as possible.Although Hamish had taken Barney's antidote, there were still traces of poison left in his body. Without a poison-neutralizing pill, Hamish's arm might be crippled, even if he managed to survive.Afterward, Zane drove off with Liam and Hamish, and Sebastian returned to the Moonlyte Club alone. Meanwhile, Maverick was lying on a soft bed at Coltrane Estate. His injured legs were still bleeding. The pill that Sebastian had given Dexter c
Fabian only gave Marty a few instructions before hanging up.Marty looked at the address he'd written down on a note and frowned as he said, "Why does this club and convenience store sound so familiar?""Marty, haven't you heard of Dr. Ballard, the miracle doctor?" a man in black martial arts robes who was standing beside Marty asked in a low voice."Dr. Ballard?" Marty looked doubtfully at the man in black."It was broadcast live on television this morning. The one called Sebastian rescued that bus driver," the black-clad man explained."Hmph! A miracle doctor?" Marty picked up the note with the address on it and scoffed. "No one who offends the Coltranes in Sartvale ends up well. Go and arrange things. I don't want to see this convenience store again!"As for this club, let's take our time in thinking of a plan. In any case, we'll have to make this Ballard fellow remember us first!"The black-clad man frowned slightly and said, "Marty, this Ballard fellow seems to have connect
The black-clad man exchanged glances with the burly men behind him. They suddenly pulled out their daggers and lunged at Sebastian.They didn't dare betray their boss or the Coltranes. However, Sebastian was obviously not going to let them go.Therefore, they had no choice but to do their best to attack. If they could injure Sebastian severely or even kill him, they were sure that the Coltranes would be able to save their lives.When Sebastian saw that the men were charging toward him, he flicked his toe against the ground and kicked up a mass of sand and stones.The men shielded their faces instinctively. In that instant, Sebastian shot forward toward them.He raised his hand and gave a gentle push. Dirk Wallis, the black-clad man, immediately felt a powerful force crashing on his chest. He was sent flying several feet backward, and he fell heavily to the ground."Dirk!" The burly men beside him hastily helped him up. Dirk coughed violently. His lips were speckled with blood a
Sebastian had no wish to create any tension with the Coltranes. After all, he was also on fairly good terms with Harold.He had to give the Coltranes a chance to turn over a new leaf, even if it was only for Harold's sake.He hadn't expected the Coltranes to return the favor in this way. They had actually sent someone to burn his store!There were some mistakes that he could overlook, but some should never be committed.If Rose hadn't been recuperating at the store and sensed that something was wrong, the store would probably have gone up in flames."Mr. Ballard, we're telling the truth. We didn't hear everything they said on the phone clearly, but before we left, Marty said that the Coltranes were his support and that we didn't have to be afraid of anything. He said that himself," one of the burly men said loudly.Dirk was weak from his wound, and he was so angry that he fainted. "Take him and get lost!" Sebastian instructed as he pointed at the unconscious Dirk."We should t
"Betty Warner, the daughter of the richest family in Jovenshire, would like to propose to Mr. Ballard. She's offering 77.77 million and a publicly-listed company as a token of her sincerity!""Luisa Albright, the daughter of the premiere family in Caevon, would like to propose to Mr. Ballard. She's offering two statues of pure gold that weigh over 100 tons in total as a token of her sincerity!""Cora Sutcliffe, the daughter of the Duke of Southam from Draepolis, would like to propose to Mr. Ballard. She's offering ten foreign islands worth 10 billion as a token of her sincerity!"The courthouse in Steinberg was an unassuming building, but for some reason, it was unusually bustling and fraught with tension today!Luxury cars lined the street outside the courthouse, and beside them stood prominent figures who could rattle the fabric of society with just a snap of their fingers!There were individuals from financial oligarchies with hundreds of billions in net worths, underworld king
"Are you certain you want to make such an extreme choice?" Sebastian asked one last time. He wanted to see if Whitney would show any signs of reluctance.Unfortunately, he did not detect even a trace of hesitation in Whitney's expression."We're not right for each other. Let's just go in and finalize the divorce. I'll do my best to meet all of your demands. Even after we've gotten divorced, we can still remain friends," Whitney bit her lip and offered after thinking about it.They could remain friends, huh?Sebastian laughed at Whitney's response. Tears trickled out of the corner of his eyes.It turned out that despite being married for three years, the relationship had been entirely one-sided. He was the presumptuous one.In her eyes, he was merely a stepping stone."Fine. I'll go through with the divorce! I don't need your money, the car, or the house. I can support myself!" Sebastian stubbornly declared."You're going to support yourself with that little shop of yours where
Whitney had just gotten out of the car when she heard what the young woman said to Sebastian. Her expression soured.Be it looks or physique, the gorgeous young woman was just as attractive as Whitney—and she drove a Ferrari.Whitney's chest tightened.When had Sebastian become acquainted with a woman like her?The young woman looked to be in her early 20s, which made her about five or six years younger than Whitney.Whitney immediately felt jealous.Mabel had gotten out of the car too. The sight before her made her frown."I'm sorry, but who are you?" Sebastian asked as he studied the young woman in front of him.She was a young and beautiful woman. Still, he had no idea who she was."Mr. Chester Sinclair recommended you to me, Dr. Ballard. My name is Rosalie Griffin. He said that you have the Goldcrow pill. It is the only thing that can save my grandfather. "My family, the Griffins, are willing to buy it from you for ten million dollars!" Rosalie pleaded tearfully."Chest
