Dexter glanced at Sebastian and asked, "What do you think about that, Mr. Ballard?"Sebastian smiled slightly and said to Rose, "He says he doesn't remember sending anyone to set fire to anything. Why don't you help him jog his memory?"Rose glanced coldly at Marty and flicked out her throwing knife. There was a gleam as a six-inch-long knife plunged into Marty's arm."Aargh! Mr. Coltrane Senior, what do you mean by this?" Marty clutched his arm as blood flowed through his fingers."Sebastian! You are at Coltrane Estate! You'd better behave yourself!" Fabian said harshly as he walked out of the crowd and pointed at Sebastian."Fabian!" Dexter glared at Fabian and said, "This is none of your business. Stand back!"Lenny and the others reached around their waists, but they pulled their hands back again when they saw that Dexter had put a stop to it."Mr. Judder, this is just a gift for our first meeting. I'm going to give you one last chance. Will you speak up or not?" Sebastian s
"Mr. Coltrane Senior, you must give me an explanation," Sebastian said. He pulled out a cigarette and lit it, then took a drag and blew out a smoke ring."Mr. Ballard, about today…" Dexter had just brought his crippled grandson home that afternoon, and now he had to put his foot down with his own son. If anything else happened, who would inherit the Coltrane fortune?"Mr. Coltrane Senior, how would you deal with someone who wanted to set your mansion on fire?" Sebastian asked coldly."Huh?" Everyone in the Coltrane family gasped.Sebastian was forcing Dexter to kill his own son.Dexter's brow was furrowed tightly as he looked at Sebastian. He said, "Mr. Ballard, could you show some leniency?"Sebastian shook his head slightly and said, "No. Fabian wanted to set my place on fire. If I just let it go, someone would go there tomorrow to destroy it.""Grandpa, Uncle Fabian was just angry because Maverick got his legs broken! That's why he sent someone to set it on fire. Besides, the
Dexter had no intention of stopping the rest of the bodyguards, even as he watched them take out their guns.That meant that Dexter was already contemplating killing Sebastian. If so, Sebastian would not show him any mercy. "Sebastian, even if you have connections and even if you have amazing skills, aren't you afraid of the law?" Dexter finally yelled, unable to help himself.He couldn't kill his own son. As long as he was alive, he couldn't stand by and watch his son die at Sebastian's hands.When Sebastian had come to interrogate him, Dexter had sent a message to Harold and told him about everything that had happened.Dexter didn't believe that Harold wouldn't take his side. He also didn't believe that Maeve would just watch the Coltranes get into trouble. As Dexter had expected, Harold and Maeve arrived at that moment."Mr. Ballard, this must be a misunderstanding," Harold said urgently as soon as he entered. He was terrified that Sebastian and the Coltranes would get into
However, the only answer they received was Rose's throwing knife.In the blink of an eye, four more bodies fell to the floor, and the hall erupted into wails.Dexter watched his family being slaughtered ruthlessly by the woman that Sebastian had brought, but there was nothing he could do. His arm shook as he pointed at Harold and said, "Harold! You're part of the Coltrane family too. Are you just going to watch him murder our family members right in front of you?"Harold turned bright red, but he said formally, "Dexter, no one has treated me like a person since I joined this family."Even Callum has the nerve to point at me and insult me. Now it's too late for you to think of me using me!" Harold shook his sleeves with dignity and turned, pulling at Maeve to leave. Maeve shook her head, her eyes full of tears as she said, "Harold, I won't blame you for leaving, but I can't go."Harold glanced at her and was about to speak when Sebastian said, smiling, "You can leave, Harold. I
The Coltranes had once been the king of the roost, but now Sartvale's business world was under the control of three families. Due to the decline of the Coltranes, Harold's influence had been greatly reduced. However, he still had connections in Sunway, and he was not ostracized by anyone. He had just lost an ally.The moment he left Coltrane Estate, Sebastian's phone rang. When he saw that it was Rosalie calling, he answered at once. "Where are you, Sebastian? Something happened at the hospital," Rosalie said anxiously."The hospital? What happened?" Sebastian asked, his brow furrowed."A very difficult patient has been admitted. Dr. Lemmington says that they've sent their best doctors, but there's been no improvement.""Oh?" Sebastian frowned and asked, "What symptoms does the patient have?""It's a very strange condition. Dr. Lemmington says that the patient hasn't slept for over ten days. His eyes are always open, and he doesn't answer no matter what he's asked. He looks as
"Yes. Mr. Gromer is the CEO of Weimar Technology in the Crestborne region. He was sent to our hospital three days ago, but I've already told you what the situation is like. We really are at a loss about his condition," Walter said to Sebastian, sighing.Just as Sebastian was about to take Quentin's pulse, there was the sound of hurried footsteps outside, and the door to the consultation room opened.A beautiful woman in a black blazer with a pencil skirt hurried in and said, "I've contacted an expert in the field from Janover. Transfer Mr. Gromer right now!"The beautiful woman looked slightly anxious. There were fine beads of sweat on her nose, and she had clearly run all the way there. Her fair skin was slightly flushed, and she had on a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. However, Sebastian knew that they were glasses that were just for show."Mr. Gromer cannot be transferred in his current condition," Sebastian said coldly."What?" Danielle Pugh frowned as she looked at Sebastian.
"Do a full body check-up for Mr. Gromer at once. If there are no problems, arrange for him to be transferred," Walter instructed."We have no time!" Elena exclaimed, pointing at her watch. "We should arrange for Mr. Gromer to go to Janover at once!" Danielle added."If you insist on doing so, go ahead," Sebastian said. He turned to leave."Mr. Ballard." Walter stopped Sebastian. "I know that you're a traditional medicine doctor, but do you think that there's anything traditional medicine can do for Mr. Gromer's condition?" Elena asked coldly."There should be," Sebastian turned and said to Elena in an equally icy tone."By you?" Elena noticed that Sebastian was only in his 20s. How skilled could he possibly be?Only newbies who were inexperienced and had just started out would be so cocky. How could a young traditional medicine doctor say that he could cure a condition that even Alexander couldn't do anything about?"Even my grandfather can't cure this condition. Who gave yo
"I agree!""I agree too!" There were over 20 internal medicine experts in the consultation room, and over half of them had seen Sebastian's skills in medicine either on the television or on live broadcast. That was why they all approved of Henrietta's suggestion."Are you all mad?" Elena took her glasses off anxiously. She pointed at Walter and said, "Dr. Lemmington, how can you let him treat a condition that even my grandfather can't do anything about?""That's right! Instead of letting him treat Mr. Gromer, why don't you send Mr. Gromer to Janover? He'll have a chance of surviving, at least!" Danielle was also strongly against the idea."Ms. Pugh, your periods are irregular, and you often suffer from insomnia. Do you feel like there's a fire burning inside you whenever night falls? Do you feel an uncomfortable warmth in your chest even in winter?" Sebastian asked Danielle casually. Danielle's expression changed. She turned red, then as white as a sheet.Sebastian had accurat
If Sebastian was too absolute, he would only attract the hatred and revenge of more people. That was why he had killed Titan, but not Tatum. He had to have a reason to kill every time he did so."The mystic sects?" Rose smiled and shook her head as she said, "With skills like yours, who among the mystic sects can do anything to you? There's probably barely anyone.""Do you want me to end up on the run? What will happen to Rosalie and Whitney? What about the Northmans? They will be sure to suffer a bloody revenge as well." Sebastian shook his head, smiling wryly.If he didn't have anything that he was concerned about, he would be fearless. However, the people around him were all ordinary people who barely had any strength. Sebastian could escape, but what about the others?…It was late at night when Tatum finally crawled back to the Caelbane Sect, covered in blood. The apprentice who was standing guard ran in to report to Anthony when he saw the wretched state that Tatum was i
Tatum had turned pale with fright. His shirt became drenched with cold sweat almost instantly."You… did you just kill one of the Caelbane Sect members?" Tatum still couldn't accept it.There was a snap as Sebastian broke both his legs with a single kick instead of wasting time talking to him.There was a thump as Tatum fell heavily to his knees. The impact crushed his kneecaps as well."Aargh!" Tatum screamed in pain like a dying pig."Shut up. If you scream again, I'll cut out your tongue," Sebastian said, looking down at him. Tatum stopped shouting at once and stared up at Sebastian in abject fear.Since he was a child, he had been the one bullying others. This was the first time he had been treated as if he were a lamb being led to the slaughter!"Apologize to the old lady!" Sebastian pointed to the old lady that Titan had slapped. "Sebastian, we're the apprentices of the sect leader of the Caelbane Sect. You want me to apologize to her? Aren't you afraid that the Caelba
Every Warrior treated the Martial Arts Association like a god. Therefore, that would make the Caelbane Sect even higher than a god!"Are you both not right in the head? I don't owe your sect leader money, yet he's trying to ask me for something? Even beggars aren't this desperate!" Sebastian looked at Titan and Tatum as if they were idiots. "We're not beggars, damn it! I'm telling you, cut both your hands off right now and let us take them. Otherwise, we'll take your life!" Tatum yelled, pointing at Sebastian."What the hell are you looking at? Are you sick of living?" Titan slapped a passing old lady.The old lady had been planning to buy some house protection charms from Sebastian, but Titan slapped her so hard that she fell to the ground, blood trickling out of the corner of her mouth.Titan didn't even look twice at the old lady. He felt that anyone who even glanced their way twice when the Caelbane Sect was conducting their business deserved to die!Slapping her was already
Wensleydale had been overly enthusiastic with them. Not only had he been extremely hospitable, he had even arranged for several young and beautiful women to cater to them.When one went overboard, it would make everything seem insincere.Titan couldn't for the life of him think of any benefit that he could offer Wensleydale. The old man already had one foot in the grave, and the Caelbane Sect would never accept someone of his age. The more he thought about it, the more Titan felt that what Tatum had said made sense."Forget about him. Let's go to Steinberg ourselves tomorrow morning," he said, his eyes narrowing.Even if Wensleydale had tipped Sebastian off, where could the latter escape to in just a single day?He could run, but he couldn't hide. Sebastian also owned the Arctic Snow Group in Steinberg, which was a massive corporation.Besides, according to reliable news from Ethan, Sebastian's ex-wife was also the CEO of Frostwave Corporation. He couldn't possibly pack up all
Sebastian laughed and said nothing. He rubbed the brand new copper coin in his pocket with one hand.Only Lyanna would be capable of doing something like that. The illusion had been cast by her.Without her help, Sebastian would probably be in huge trouble. No matter whether or not he was in the right, there should have been severe consequences for slaughtering more than 100 elite members of the Martial Arts Association.Lyanna had even made the souls of those people her food. It was terrifyingly cruel. "Everything's alright now, everyone. It seems that Mr. Flumen repented after realizing how terrible his crimes were and killed himself," Sebastian said politely, smiling as if nothing had happened."Maybe your character and charisma convinced them, Mr. Ballard." Hans didn't know what to say.Zane swallowed and laughed as he said to Sebastian, "Mr. Ballard, you really… you really are… amazing.""Since you're all here, don't be in such a rush to leave. I'll treat you all to a meal
However, Wensleydale didn't care. He would have killed his own son if it meant that he could live!Without another word, he hacked off Humphrey's arm. Before Humphrey could scream, Wensleydale stabbed him in the heart. He gripped the handle of the knife and twisted it grimly. Humphrey stared at Wensleydale, his eyes bulging, right until the moment he died. He had died a violent death. Wensleydale looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground. Like the man with the dragon-topped cane, they all decayed rapidly and were blown off into the air by a slight breeze, leaving no trace behind. Wensleydale turned slowly and gazed mournfully at Sebastian. He looked into Sebastian's ice-cold gaze and finally realized that the latter wasn't going to forgive him, even though he had hacked off his own arm and killed his apprentice. Instead of dying in great pain like the others, he might as well give himself a quick end! Tears streamed down Wensleydale's face as he held the knife to
"Mr. Ballard! I was wrong! Please, have mercy on me…""Mr. Ballard, we'll never do it again. I don't want to die.""Mr. Ballard, I have an 80-year-old mother at home. Please have mercy!" There was a series of thumps as more than 100 people fell to their knees. They were genuinely afraid. What Lyanna had said had made their last defenses crumble completely. The moment they knelt, the corpse of the man with the dragon-topped cane began to decay rapidly right in front of their eyes. In the end, only pale white bones remained. A slight breeze swept over them from out of nowhere. With a gentle gust, the skeleton disappeared. It was as if the man with the dragon-topped cane had never existed."Mr. Ballard, you mustn't show any compassion at all to these hypocrites," Rose said. She slowly pulled out her short sword and tossed her sheath away. Sebastian closed his eyes and nodded slightly. There was a series of squelching noises as over a dozen heads fell to the ground. More dark
Wensleydale's expression changed at once. He had made the call to the police because he had been planning on maiming or even killing Sebastian in front of everyone in the Martial Arts Association.However, things had turned out very differently from what he had expected. He had dug a huge hole for himself and had jumped in without a thought. "Mr. Ballard, you and I are both martial arts practitioners, and we prize the idea of righteousness," he began. "Why don't you kill me and let them go?"Wensleydale wasn't really that generous. He was a shrewd man who always did what benefited him more. Even his apprentice, Humphrey, was shocked to hear him say something so selfless. Had he really chosen to do good in the face of imminent death? However, Sebastian saw through his little trick immediately. Wensleydale hadn't escaped because he was too afraid to do so. Whoever ran out of the black fog would become a bloody puddle of water. If Sebastian agreed to let them go, he would remo
Sebastian pointed at the hundreds of Martial Arts Association members gathered at the door and said, "Since you all dared to come here and accuse me, then you must be prepared to die here! I am pleased to inform all of you that you have succeeded in provoking me to anger!" The crowd was immediately incensed. "You wouldn't dare!""There are so many of us! Even Larys wouldn't dare to do anything to us, let alone you!" "Sebastian, who do you think you are? We've got more than 100 people here today. Would you dare to kill us all?" Accusatory and defiant questions piped up all around Sebastian, but he only smiled faintly. "Why wouldn't I dare to do so?" he said and shot Lyanna a pointed look. Lyanna chuckled and invited Hans and the rest back into the convenience store. "Please come and sit inside. What's about to happen next may be too gory."Zane quickly turned to walk inside. Sebastian always did what he said he would do. Without a doubt, what was about to happen would be a b
