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
Hans had rallied the crowd and fired them up so much that Joseph now had no choice but to fight Elliot.There was no way he could refuse to fight now that Hans had made him out to be so powerful! His pride would never allow him to.Joseph slowly got to his feet and extended an arm toward Elliot, assuming the stance of an elegant martial artist.Amidst the crowd's admiring gazes, Joseph then took three steps forward and stared coldly at Elliot."Elliot! I know how hard it is to master martial arts, so I'll give you a chance to get out of this situation unscathed. Cripple yourself and leave Steinberg, or I will have to kill you!" Joseph declared.Elliot scoffed in disbelief. "How bold of you to threaten me! The art of Shastia from Suden is merely child's play to me! In fact, I'll show you just how insignificant the art of Shastia is today!""You maniac! You brought this upon yourself!" Joseph howled in fury as he stomped his right foot, crushing the tiles under his foot to dust.
