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
Wasn't that what a con man would do?Theresa hurriedly called Whitney back. With her brow furrowed, she asked, "Whit, does Sebastian perform superstitions like exorcism?"Whitney was taken aback by the question. She gave it some thought and said, "He can do a bit, I think. He's been obsessed with geomancy for the past two years. That little shop of his was set up so he could tell people's fortunes and help them to change their fortunes through geomancy."She added, "That's why I decided to divorce him. After he became obsessed with that stuff, he changed completely. Why? What did you find out?"Theresa's expression gradually became colder when she heard Whitney's explanation. She said, "I found out that Sebastian cured Mr. Wagner's wife's infertility. However, he did so by doing an exorcism, which is just some superstition…""Exorcism?" Whitney was shocked.She gritted her teeth in anger. "That asshole! How could he trick people that way? If he's discovered, Mr. Wagner will kill
Sebastian frowned.He didn't want to get involved in these conflicts. That would just bring him unwanted trouble.Hans noticed that Sebastian was hesitating, and he became anxious. He fell to his knees at once and groveled at Sebastian's feet. He pleaded, "Dr. Ballard, please help me just this once! In the future, Prosperity Corporation and I will obey your every command." Resigned, Sebastian sighed and said, "Fine. I'll help you just this once. However, I need you to do something for me too."Hans was delighted. He said excitedly, "Dr. Ballard, just say the word! I'll get it done even if I have to go to hell and back!"Sebastian nodded. He smiled calmly and said, "I need you to find something for me, Mr. Wagner.""What is it?" Hans asked.Sebastian told him.Hans was shocked, and he looked doubtful as he asked, "Spiritual stones? What are they? An emerald?"Sebastian shook his head. "It's not an emerald. It's a kind of… just think of it as a medicinal stone. "It's green
The man walked into the room with a majestic and demanding presence.Despite his demanding presence, his footsteps were light, and anyone could tell that he was a martial artist.There were four or five students behind him, all of whom had their arms crossed across their chests arrogantly as they sauntered into the room.Hans didn't seem to mind how arrogant the newcomers were at all and hurriedly motioned for the man he referred to as "Master Zimmer", to take a seat. He smiled as he introduced them, "Dr. Ballard, this is the martial arts expert I mentioned just now. He's the sect leader of the art of Shastia, a type of martial art from Suden, Joseph Zimmer. "He's an Inner Strength Master and is incredibly powerful. He's also ranked as one of the top five martial artists in Suden when it comes to power."Joseph sat down and narrowed his eyes at Sebastian, who was next to Hans. His expression turned to one of disdain. It was clear he didn't think much of Sebastian at all."Mr.
Hans was immediately panicked by Joseph's declaration and quickly rushed to stop him, who had already gotten to his feet, from leaving."Mr. Zimmer, please don't misunderstand. I only asked for Dr. Ballard's help in case there were any other complications. Besides, Dr. Ballard is medically skilled, so if you or any of your students get hurt later, he can help with their injuries!" Hans explained hurriedly.Joseph scoffed coldly and shot Hans a challenging glare as he demanded, "Mr. Wagner, do you think I'll get hurt?"Hans realized that he had misspoken and immediately lowered his head apologetically. "Excuse me, Mr. Zimmer, I misspoke. Please forgive…"Joseph interrupted coldly, "Mr. Wagner, it seems like you still don't understand just how powerful your opponent tonight is! Elliot is no longer the same man from ten years ago. "According to my friend overseas, Elliot's power has increased exponentially, and his sect, Dragon Sect, is also notoriously powerful!"Joseph paused bef
"The higher-ups set up this rule for Malcolm 20 years ago when he was exiled. As long as he steps foot in Crestborne, he will be dealt with immediately. So, you will only have to deal with his student, Elliot, today, and fortunately for you, I can help you with that," Joseph said.At that, Hans visibly let out a sigh of relief. His eyes brimmed with admiration as he grabbed Joseph's hands. "Mr. Zimmer, my family's life is in your hands now!" Hans declared."Alright. If Elliot dares to come tonight, he will be defeated by the might of Shastia!" Joseph declared arrogantly with a boisterous laugh.Hans and Joseph chatted for a while longer before Joseph finally got to his feet and said, "Okay, let's head to the venue now since we've settled this matter. Isn't the fight set to occur at the Sky Platform?""You're right! This way, please, Mr. Zimmer," Hans exclaimed as he motioned to the stairway.Everyone got to their feet to go to the Sky Platform, and Sebastian considered his options
Joseph had been chatting with his students when he suddenly felt a sense of danger. Joseph whipped his head to the staircase, and his expression was solemn as he declared, "Mr. Wagner, he's here."After that, he turned to look at Sebastian in disbelief. How did he know that Elliot was here before he did?Was he actually that powerful, or was it just a lucky guess?Sebastian flashed him a mild smile in response and turned his calm gaze back to the stairway.The crowd was silent as everyone turned their heads to stare at it. Suddenly, there was a furious roar followed by the unmistakable clang of knives as a fight broke out.However, the sounds died down as suddenly as they arose. After that, bodies came flying from the stairway like comets and crashed into the tables at the lounge, and some of them even landed in the pool.A set of heavy footsteps made their way up the stairs, and right after that, a middle-aged man in a black linen shirt appeared.The man had a buzzcut, an
"Then how much do you want?" Hans asked with a frown.Elliot chuckled before he replied, "I want the entire Tiger Sect and Prosperity Corporation! Also, I want you to get on your knees before me and beg for my forgiveness in front of all of Steinberg. "As long as you publicly admit that I'm better than you, I'll let you live. If you don't agree to my conditions, I'll kill you and then your family!"Hans was furious, and he slammed his hand onto the table. His eyes were bloodshot as he barked, "Elliot! Don't push your luck! You're sorely mistaken if you think I'm a pushover! If we do end up going to war, you will lose!"Elliot howled with laughter before he replied, "Is that right? I would love to see you try to beat me then!"Hans frowned. "I know that Malcolm is your master and that you are already an Inner Strength Master. However, don't think for a second that just because you have a formidable master, you are above the law! "Remember, your master isn't allowed to step foot
"It's a good thing I was here tonight. You may not be so lucky next time," Lyanna said. She got up to leave, but Rosalie rose hurriedly and called after her, "Wait!""Is there anything else?" Lyanna turned her head slightly and fixed her beautiful eyes on Rosalie."What kind of person is Sebastian? I mean…" After Lyanna had told her who she was, Rosalie felt as if her thoughts were in turmoil. Even Sebastian, whom she had always loved and admired, had suddenly become unfamiliar to her.If Sebastian had just been a traditional medicine doctor, she could have accepted it. However, now Sebastian was keeping a female spirit around him. Not only that, the spirit was his servant. This was beyond the scope of Rosalie's understanding. Sebastian was rapidly becoming like a riddle to her."Have you heard of sages? Mr. Ballard is probably like them," Lyanna said. In a flash, she had disappeared without a trace.Rosalie remained quiet for a long time before she started the engine once mor
The short, fat man who had smashed up Rosalie's car window tossed his rock aside and hurried over. His eyes were bulging as he looked greedily at the beautiful woman standing in front of them. She was just as pretty as Rosalie was."Boss, I deserve some credit for the work I've done, don't I? Can you give me this chick?" the short, fat man asked, rubbing his hands together as he licked his lips.Lyanna looked at Chet and the short, fat man. She covered her mouth and giggled as she said, "I don't know what kind of day it is, but I do know that next year, this will be your death anniversary! Which of you wants to die first?""I… Huh?" Chet had been about to lunge forward and grab Lyanna, but then he realized what she had said.It would be their death anniversary on this day next year? What did that mean?Before he could recover his senses, Lyanna tittered and nodded. "Alright, you'll die first."She flicked her sleeve aside and revealed her slender, pale hands. Her foot-long, brigh
When Chet and the lackeys looked more closely, they saw that the car parked in the distance was a personal car and that there was a gorgeous woman sitting inside it.They were delighted at their good fortune. This was an opportunity they could not miss!As they were in such a remote area, they barely ever saw any women, let alone a beautiful one like Rosalie.Therefore, Chet gave the order, and the thugs all surged forward. They were barely able to contain their excitement."Hello, beautiful. What has upset you so much at this late hour? Tell us about it. Even if we can't make you happy, you can make us happy!" The short, fat man in the lead reached out to pull Rosalie's car door open as he spoke.Rosalie was beside herself with fear. She hastily locked the car and pulled her phone out of her bag as she screamed loudly at the men outside her car. "What do you want? Stay away from my car, or… or I'll call the police!"The fat, short man glanced at Rosalie, who looked frightened an
Sebastian heard Rosalie sobbing behind him. He turned around abruptly, but Rosalie rushed over to him and slapped him in the face before he could explain."Sebastian! I rushed over here as soon as I heard that something had happened in Steinberg! You… You're a jerk!" Rosalie was weeping. She had been planning on telling Sebastian on the day of the martial arts battle about the good news of the huge order that Arctic Snow Group had received from Lorcan. However, while eavesdropping on a conversation between Oliver and Belinda, she found out about the huge commotion over in Steinberg.When she heard that all eight of the Celestial realm experts that the Warrior League had sent to protect Whitney had all been killed and that the latter had disappeared, Rosalie couldn't contain her anxiety.She had rushed back to Steinberg at once.When she found no sign of Sebastian at the Moonlyte Club, she had come to the convenience store instead.She saw that it was lit up and had run straight
Hank and Taylor broke out into a cold sweat when they saw what had happened. Terence was like a god to them!Who would have thought that Terence, who had had the upper hand just a moment ago, would have stood vacantly on the spot just because Sebastian had thrust the rusty bronze mirror at him? He had just stood still and waited for Sebastian to come and kill him!"Run, hurry!" Before he could think too much about it, Taylor growled in a low voice and turned to flee to the foot of the mountain.Hank only came to his senses when Taylor was already far away from him. He was about to go after him, but he had only gone a few steps when a ghostly, feminine figure appeared and blocked his path."You—" The moment Hank turned, his soul almost left his body from fright at what he saw.Only a moment had passed since Terence's murder, but the eerie woman in front of him had already cut off more than a dozen heads. Whenever she cut a head off, dark energy would be sucked into her emerald
Terence wielded his sword. Wherever the blade pointed, the air was sliced apart instantly!Sebastian forced himself to concentrate and raised his sword to shield his chest!There was a clang as Terence's sword crashed down on Sebastian's, and sparks flew up at once. Sebastian couldn't help but take a few steps back. He felt the energy roiling inside him and almost spat out a mouthful of blood."My lord!" Nina felt extremely anxious when she saw that Sebastian was at a disadvantage. She ignored Sebastian's previous command and leaped over to him to hold him up. "My lord, are you alright?" Nina asked in concern. Sebastian was slightly flushed, and he looked as if his energy was becoming erratic. He shook his head slightly and pushed Nina away. He handed Whitney to her and said, "Protect Whitney well. If anything happens to her, come and see me with your head!" Nina turned to Rose, who was beside her. She wanted to protest, but Sebastian waved a hand and said, "Lyanna was hur
"It's a pity that you'll never understand," Sebastian said.Terence's face flushed. Who would've expected a young man in his twenties like Sebastian to be so perceptive? He was even more advanced than Terence in the Way of Wisdom!"My lord, I was trapped in the front yard just now. No matter how I walked, I couldn't get through the door. That's why…" Lyanna trailed off and hung her head, looking shamefaced.Technically, she was a spirit. How had she fallen prey to the Bewitchment spell? Even Lyanna was puzzled."It's the Soulbell!" Sebastian turned abruptly to look at Terence.Lyanna felt that she couldn't have been trapped by the Bewitchment spell because she didn't actually have a body. Meanwhile, Nina was a thousand-year-old snake deity, and ordinary formations couldn't contain her at all.Therefore, there was only one possibility. Terence had external help. The Soulbell was the only possible explanation.Nina and Rose arrived as well."Protect Whitney," Sebastian said befor
Sebastian eyed the middle-aged man and laughed coldly. "You surprised me too. Do you want to be a sacrifice for my sword?"Sebastian gently shook Purity, which he was holding. Immediately, it felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck the entire yard!Hank and the others began mocking him at once. "Ballard, you are bold out of ignorance. Do you know who is standing in front of you? Let me tell you, it's the seventh elder of Sword Towers, Mr. Manderly."One of them added, "Consider it an honor for you to be killed by Mr. Manderly."Sebastian raised an eyebrow and squinted at Terence as he said, "If I'm guessing correctly, Nina and the others must have fallen into your trap. That's why they haven't arrived yet. Right?""You're observant!" Terence smiled faintly and said, "If you hadn't stepped into Draconem Cathedral right before I did, you would be stuck in a Bewitchment trap, just like them."Honestly, it's a miracle for someone of your age to have this level of training. However,
While Taylor stood there, stunned, Sebastian bore down on him. Upon seeing Sebastian raising his fist to hit him once more, Taylor hastily pulled himself together and met Sebastian's punch with his own."Are… Are you all stupid?" Blood was seeping out of the back of Taylor's hand as he looked at the people behind him."You've always liked fighting alone, Taylor. We were afraid that we would spoil your fun." Despite what Hank said, he turned on his heel and sent a spinning kick at Sebastian to block his path.Sebastian felt a strong force rushing toward him, and he immediately stopped in the midst of pursuing Taylor. He moved aside and aimed a roundhouse kick at Hank. Yet another wave of energy exploded, and fear flashed across Hank's face. The blow had seemed plain, but it embodied the mysterious principles of martial arts.Even an expert who was two levels higher than Hank would have had his bones broken by that kick, let alone someone who was only at the first level of the Ce
