Rose raised an eyebrow. Her gaze fell coldly on Abner as she said, "Try saying that again!"Abner felt as if he was looking at the Grim Reaper. The murderous energy coming off of her in waves made his heart drop, and he took two steps backward, too afraid to say anything."Mr. Gromer doesn't have insomnia, which is why the drugs you've used have had no effect. It will only make his condition worse," Sebastian said to Walter and the others, ignoring Abner."What kind of condition does Mr. Gromer have, then?" Walter asked, pushing his glasses."He has wind dizziness. Look at his hands!" Sebastian said. He pointed at Quentin's hands, which were shaking uncontrollably. Everyone finally noticed that Quentin's middle finger and index finger were trembling relentlessly."What does that show?" Walter continued asking."Wind can affect the liver. It means that he caught this disease because of an unhealthy liver. Has Mr. Gromer been under a lot of pressure lately? Does he often work lat
"Aaron?" Elena was surprised to see Aaron suddenly appear in the hospital.Aaron had received Alexander's message earlier, and Alexander had told him briefly about the situation with Quentin. Aaron had immediately understood what Alexander wanted. He wanted Aaron to help Elena, so Aaron had rushed over at once."Don't trust Abner, Ellie. He's a total scumbag. Half a year ago, he almost killed a patient with a silver needle in Sunway." Aaron glared scornfully at Abner."You're talking nonsense!" Abner yelled as he pointed furiously at Aaron."Abner, do I need to call my grandfather to verify this?" Aaron pulled out his phone.Abner turned red and pressed his lips together. He didn't speak again."The two of them just came to stall for time. When enough time passes, Mr. Gromer won't be able to be saved!" Rose's gaze swept contemptuously over Abner and Orion while she sucked on the lollipop in her mouth."What?" Elena looked at Abner in shock and said, "Mr. Huntington Senior! I
When Abner looked down, he almost lost his mind in fear. The thing that had dropped to the floor was his arm.Rose had attacked so quickly that Abner's arm had been chopped off without shedding a single drop of blood. He hadn't even felt any pain. When Abner saw the object on the floor clearly, an intense pain came from his shoulder. It was so painful that cold sweat immediately beaded on his forehead. He clutched his shoulder, looking as pale as a sheet.Blood began gushing out of the wound, and he couldn't staunch it at all. It burst through his fingers and splattered out. Orion retreated several steps backward in fear. The rest of the doctors in the room were dazed with fright. "Why did you save him?" Rose's voice was unusually icy. There was a cold gleam in her beautiful eyes as she stared at Sebastian."This is a hospital," he explained heavily."He deserves to die!" Rose said through gritted teeth.Abner looked up again, but his eyes met Rose's icy gaze, and he shudder
Sebastian nodded slightly. There was a gold needle in his hand.As time had been dragged out for too long, Quentin's heartbeat was declining rapidly. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that saving Quentin had become as difficult as saving Cillian had been. "The gold needle?" Elena had recognized the needle Sebastian was holding at once. It was the king of medicine's gold needle, which Alexander treasured greatly."Shh. Be quiet." Aaron gestured for her to stop talking. He threw a worried glance at Orion and Abner.When Sebastian had been treating Cillian, Marius' sudden shout had caused him to vomit blood at once. Aaron didn't want Sebastian to be at risk once more."I'll kill whoever makes a sound." Rose's icy gaze swept over the faces of the crowd, and everyone instinctively shut their mouths tightly. Even Orion covered his mouth quickly with his hand. He was terrified that he would die if he made a sound.Sebastian raised his arm slowly and injected his vital energy into the g
"His heartbeat, pulse, breathing, and blood pressure are all normal!" Danielle exclaimed."Great!" The doctors suddenly burst into thunderous cheers. They all stared excitedly at Sebastian, their eyes full of gratitude.If Quentin had died at their hospital, Danielle would have been sure to go to the Steinberg city hall to kick up a fuss. If so, St. James Hospital would probably have gotten into big trouble.Sebastian hadn't just saved Quentin. He had also saved the doctors and, by extension, their families."Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Ballard!" Walter looked at the examination reports and took Sebastian's hand in excitement."Thank you, Mr. Ballard." Elena shook hands with Sebastian, looking rather guilty."Um… M-Mr. Ballard, m-my…" Danielle suddenly thought of what Sebastian had said about her. With medical skills like his, it would not be a problem for him to help her with minor problems like those.Sebastian chuckled as he glanced at Danielle. He said, "You and Aaron both h
"What do you do for a living?" Vince asked Orion accusingly as his expression darkened. "I'm the deputy director of this hospital. They attacked him, and I'm a witness!" Orion said, clapping himself on the chest."You're a witness?" Vince swept his gaze over the rest of the doctors and asked coldly, "Tell me. Was he there when it happened?"As he spoke, Vince's expression grew menacing. He clasped his hands behind his back and began to pace back and forth. "He… He wasn't," a male doctor said after mustering up the courage. "That's right. Dr. Bolton only just arrived.""It was just Dr. Lemmington and us in the consultation room!"Vince smiled in satisfaction. He nodded slightly and said, "Alright. Come on, take him back to the station and ask him what he can testify to as a witness."Following his orders, two police officers quickly handcuffed Orion. Orion was dumbstruck. Vince was twisting the truth."What are you doing? I haven't committed any crimes!" Orion hollered as
Rosalie took a deep breath. She glanced at Gavin and said, "Don't worry, Captain Horner. I'm fine. "After all, Sebastian and Whitney were married for three years. It's impossible for him to feel nothing for her. If Sebastian was the kind of person who moved on very quickly, I wouldn't have fallen for him."Gavin was reassured and said, "I'm glad you think that way, Ms. Griffin. However, the pharmaceutical factory is related to the production of military resources. "I must go over as soon as possible to understand what's going on. If anything goes wrong, I'll be able to report to Mr. Shields Senior promptly."With that, Gavin walked out.After they had all left, Rosalie walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows. She watched as Sebastian and Gavin got into Zane's car. She was lost in thought."Are you worried that they'll rekindle the flame?" Rose asked, smiling as she sipped on a cup of coffee.Rosalie didn't look at her. She just shook her head slightly and said, "I don't ha
Whitney's complexion was a greenish-black, and her lips were clamped tightly shut. There appeared to be a dark tinge of energy on her forehead.As Sebastian looked over at the office table, he spotted a plate of half-eaten pastries that were still placed there."Mr. Ballard, the pastries were brought here. However, we checked them before they brought them in. They're not poisonous." Fitz explained quickly to Sebastian.He was responsible for the safety of everyone at the pharmaceutical factory. If anything happened to Whitney in the office, Fitz would have to be sent to military court!Therefore, he had set strict rules from the very beginning. No food, including bottles of mineral water, would be allowed to pass through the doors of the pharmaceutical factory without undergoing strict testing."Did you bring all of these?" Sebastian strode over to Whitney's desk and picked up one of the pastries. He sniffed it. Although there were all kinds of spices in the pastry, Sebastian co
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
