"Is it Ballard?" Howell had heard of Sebastian before. He was friends with both Walter and Alexander, and he had heard them mention Sebastian multiple times in the past.Therefore, Howell had also heard of many of Sebastian's legendary feats. It was just that he had never had a chance to meet him."How did you know?" Alexander asked, confused."You mention him to me every once in a while. How could I not know? It's just a pity that Dr. Ballard seems to be so busy. I've been planning to pay him a visit, but it's harder than getting to the moon! Do you have a way for me to meet him?" Howell asked eagerly."A way? Of course! I even want him to go and give a lecture over at your workplace!" Alexander said happily."Really? Where are you? I'll come and see you right now!" Howell almost dropped his phone in excitement.Alexander and Howell arranged to go and meet Sebastian together, which delighted the latter.He was a traditional medicine doctor himself, and he greatly admired a doct
Howell and Alexander chatted for a while more with Sebastian before bidding him goodbye.That afternoon, Madeline and her entourage arrived at the entrance to Steinberg Medical University. Samuel and all the staff and students were lined up neatly there, waiting for them.Robin got out of the black sedan first before opening the door for Madeline. After Madeline got out, she and the other foreigners walked over to the main doors.Samuel immediately shot a pointed look at two female students who were carrying flower garlands. The two students ran over to Madeline and presented her with them."Welcome! Thank you for coming to our university from so far away, Ms. Eddings." Samuel's hands were trembling with excitement.If he could satisfy Madeline, he would be sure to get promoted and get rich very quickly. "How are the preparations for the lecture, Mr. Lorson?" Robin asked, his brow furrowed.Samuel was truly frivolous. Why had he arranged for such a grand welcome ceremony when M
Robin glanced at his watch. It wasn't even 1:00 pm yet.He couldn't let Madeline wait for more than an hour, so he said to Samuel, "Find a way to make Dr. Ballard start his lecture earlier. Ms. Eddings' time is very valuable!"Samuel nodded quickly and said, "Alright, I'll send someone to notify Dr. Ballard right away and ask him to come and give his lecture. Ms. Eddings, please wait in our university lounge for a moment."Samuel gave a pointed look to the two vice deans beside him. He indicated for them to keep Madeline company in his stead and stall as long as they could.As for Samuel, he got into a car with two instructors and went straight to St. James Hospital, where Sebastian was conducting consultations.Now, Sebastian's punctual appearance would decide whether or not Samuel would keep his job, and Samuel had no wish to lose his throne.After all, the dean of a Medical University received countless gifts all year. He could even get favors from young female teachers who wa
The two instructors beside Sebastian were both staring nervously at the thug's knife.They could do the work of ten people when dealing with students, but they were helpless in the face of a knife-wielding man. They waited for about half an hour for the thug to get his medicine and leave. Before he left, he spat viciously at Samuel's face."Damn it, why does he have so much spit when he's so scrawny?" an instructor cursed as he took out a tissue for Samuel to wipe his face."Shut up!" Samuel was shaking with anger. That wasn't helping him at all! He was clearly embarrassing him further!"Dr. Ballard…" Now that the thug had finally left, Samuel approached Sebastian."Clean off that spit on your face. It's disgusting." Zane stuck out his hand to stop Samuel.Samuel took a tissue from the instructor and wiped his face carefully twice before approaching. He said, "Dr. Ballard, we would greatly appreciate your coming to our university to teach. Shall we leave right now?""I'm busy!
"I…" Samuel was halfway through his sentence when a middle-aged man walked out of the crowd behind him. He was wearing a mink coat and had a cigar dangling from his mouth. He pointed at the door and said, "Dr. Ballard wants you all to get lost!""Go out!""Get out of here, now!" The other patients who were waiting to see Sebastian began clamoring and cursing.The two instructors wanted to protect Samuel's dignity, but their pupils constricted when they saw who the middle-aged man in the mink coat was.It was Hans!The thug from just now was nothing compared to Hans. What was he doing lining up here?"Who the hell are you?" Samuel's eyes had gone red with anger.The moment he entered St. James Hospital, he had thrown his pride and dignity aside completely. He reigned absolute in Steinberg Medical University as the dean!The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Without even looking to see who the other party was, he began yelling back in anger.The instructors used
"Samuel, I think you'd better consider getting another job," Robin said.Seeing Madeline had gone off in a huff, he glared angrily at Samuel and followed the others off with a flick of his sleeves."Sebastian!" Samuel yelled through gritted teeth. Tears leaked out of his eyes.Apart from a series of free slaps in the face, he had also lost his job. He was filled with hate for Sebastian.…Robin was the one in charge of Steinberg's medical system, so he soon found out that Sebastian would be lecturing at the Steinberg University of Traditional Medicine the next day. He immediately reported this to Madeline, who was slightly mollified.However, Samuel had wasted two hours of her time, which displeased her greatly.Robin immediately wrote a report and submitted it to the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health. Samuel's stint as a dean was over.…Early the next morning, Sebastian changed into a suit and polished his leather shoes until they shone.Although Sebastian of
The Steinberg University of Traditional Medicine students immediately clapped enthusiastically when they saw how young Sebastian was.The young women who had been speculating excitedly were clapping so hard that their palms were in danger of turning red.Sebastian was the youngest and most handsome teacher they had ever seen.Sebastian walked onto the podium and waved slightly, gesturing for them to be quiet. He picked up a piece of chalk and wrote his name on the blackboard. "Hello, my name is Sebastian Ballard," he said. "I'm very honored to be able to give all of you this lecture today!""How old are you, Dr. Ballard?" one of the young women suddenly asked.Sebastian was slightly startled. "I… I'm almost 30.""You're the same age as my older brother!" she exclaimed. "Can you give me your WhatsApp, handsome?" another student asked. "Just give me your phone number!" someone said boldly.The young women looked flirtily at Sebastian as they spoke."Tsk, he's so young! Is h
When Sebastian saw that the students understood, he continued, "Using the entire prescription will cancel out its poisonous effects and only leave its function of supporting light energy. "In other words, traditional medicine cannot be used lightly. How it is concocted and the ratio in which it is mixed is very important. The method in which it is prepared is also essential!""Dr. Ballard, I'd like to ask you how traditional medicine cures diseases if it's not the efficacious components that are taking effect," Madeline said suddenly."Traditional medicine uses energy to treat diseases. Why do we brew traditional medicine with water? Because energy can be contained in water," Sebastian said. He took out a few spirit lamps as well as a few packets of medicinal herbs and laid them on the table."I have monkhood root right here. It's the medicinal herb that was mentioned just now, and it contains strong poison. Look at this. After I've brewed it in water, I can drink it without any
Kayden soon received news of how Sebastian had broken into the Berkeley clan hall the night before.He was furious. Who did Sebastian think he was? Was the Berkeleys' clan hall the kind of place that people could just walk in and out of as they pleased?"Mr. Berkeley, shall we go and see the clan hall later? After all, Ms. Candy is still there," Jayden said in an ingratiating tone.He had only managed to latch onto Kayden through his connection with Colton. This was a rare opportunity for him to make a comeback.That was why he had spent quite a large sum of money on Kayden recently. He had already gifted him over a dozen high-quality emerald pieces.Kayden wouldn't have been impressed by him if he hadn't done so."Do we need to? Sebastian is sure to die this time! Rocco is annoying me more right now. How dare he neglect me just because he thinks he's found a strong ally in Sebastian?"Kayden had seen clearly how obsequious and respectful Rocco had been to Sebastian while ignori
"You've done many evil deeds, and it's time for the Berkeleys to be destroyed!" Sebastian exclaimed. He summoned back his 18 clones with a single thought while he raised Purity. "No!" Violet screamed at the top of her lungs.There was a dull thump, and a head flew high into the air. A dark energy that looked both like a snake and like a human shot out at once. Sebastian wasn't going to let her have a chance of escaping. He tossed out four yellow paper charms at the same time. They formed a Nullcurse Spell and trapped both of Violet's souls within it."When I say die, I mean that your soul and spirit will be destroyed! You won't have a chance at finding another host!"Sebastian raised his palm and upturned it slightly as he said, "Destroy!""Sebastian, you'll come to a tragic end!"There was a blast as countless bolts of gold light burst forth and pierced the dark shadow, which looked both like a snake and a human.In the blink of an eye, the dark figure had disintegrated in t
In the end, even the scales on Lucius' body had been swiped off by the blows. Huge pieces of scales were torn off his body along with his skin and flesh. With every piece of scale that was torn off, he let out a bloodcurdling scream."Aargh! Please have mercy! I won't ever act recklessly again! Have mercy!"Lucius was now completely bloodied from the beating he had received. He was covered with wounds that went deep to the bone, and he was bleeding profusely. Even Violet couldn't bear to look at him.He no longer had the dignity of the ancestral being of the Berkeleys, and he had lost his domineering air. "You won't? Hmph! What are you going to say about that snake curse in her, then?" Sebastian asked, pointing at Candy. Lucius almost burst into tears. He didn't know anything about what they had done to Candy. Besides, once the soul of a snake began to merge with that of a human, they would become an entwined soul.He had only ever heard of a secret art that could separate an e
Lucius panicked at once. His clones couldn't make different moves, but Sebastian's attacks were all coming from different directions. How could he dodge them?A bolt of blue light slashed down on the head of one of Lucius' clones. He dodged to the side quickly while leaping up to dodge the other five swords. However, before he could land, he spat out a mouthful of blood.Although his original form had escaped from harm, his clones had been killed immediately. Although they were only his clones, they were very closely connected to his true form because of how truncated his Cloning Technique was compared to the original. That was why the backlash was particularly strong when his clones were killed."Just one move and both are already dead? Your Cloning Technique really isn't much!"Sebastian's 18 clones had surrounded the severely injured Lucius and were covering over a dozen different directions."How could this be? How could you have such an orthodox Cloning Spell passed dow
"How is that possible?"Lucius looked as if he was in disbelief when he saw that Sebastian had cut through the coal-black silk threads so easily. Sebastian appeared in front of him in an instant, and he raised Purity to slash at him.Right at the moment when the sword energy was about to touch Lucius' clothes, the air around them seemed to ripple violently. Lucius shot backward several feet as if he were a phantom, and he dodged Sebastian's attack."You're truly extraordinary!"There was a gleam in Lucius' dark eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to blur out of sight before splitting into three identical figures! Even the coal-black knife in his hand was exactly the same. "You didn't expect that, did you, young man? That's our lord's secret cloning technique!" Violet laughed triumphantly. Sebastian now had to fight against three on his own, which would be certain to end in his death. So what if he could break through the binding of the coal-black silk threads?
The handsome youth's name was Lucius Vipera. He grinned evilly and said, "You're the first person who's had the guts to insult me. You will pay!""My lord!"Violet hastily bowed to Lucius, too afraid to even look up at him.Lucius ignored her and strode toward Sebastian."Young man, you are extraordinary. To have accomplished so much in your 20s isn't an easy feat. If you apologize to the Berkeleys and promise to never oppose us again, I can consider letting you go today!" he said coldly in a manner that brooked no argument. Sebastian scoffed and shook his head as he said disdainfully, "You're not also planning to make me grovel to you in apology, are you?"While they all looked on in shock, Sebastian seemed to flicker out of focus, leaving behind a line of shadows as he rushed toward Lucius.Lucius narrowed his eyes and huffed coldly. "With your paltry skills, are you really going to—"Before he could finish, Sebastian's slap landed. There was a cold flash, which Lucius has
"Violet!" Candy stared at Violet in terror, because the latter now looked frightening. The flesh and skin on her face were peeling off, and pale white bone was already showing on her chin.It wouldn't take long before she became a living skeleton.Violet glanced at her hands, of which only bone was left. There was a look of shock in her eyes, but she still had another trick up her sleeve.As she cackled sinisterly, her body began recovering rapidly. All her skin was growing back, and the new flesh and skin that grew was as smooth as that of a baby's."Young man, do you really think that I would have no way to break that spell?" Violet looked at her newly grown skin and flesh and laughed triumphantly. Sebastian waggled a finger slightly and asked, "Break it? It's not that easy. That was just the beginning!"As soon as he finished, he moved in a flash and leaped down from the roof. All Violet saw was a shadow flashing past her.There was a series of resounding slaps, and Violet f
At the same time, clouds of dark energy flowed toward Sebastian and enveloped him.He felt a strong, restrictive power enveloped him, which made it hard to even lift a finger.It was a mystic spell unique to Violet. Anyone enveloped by the dark energy would have no choice but to stand still and wait for death to come, no matter how powerful they were. A mystic spell like that was similar to the one Sebastian had just displayed, but it was much more bizarre and harder to detect. Countless experts in the mystic spells had died from Violet's move. In the end, she had sucked up all their blood essence, and they had become nutrition for her.That was why she was sure that Sebastian would suffer the same fate. "Young man, are you unable to speak now?" Violet taunted as she circled Sebastian. She now felt that Sebastian was like a lamb to the slaughter—she could do with him as she pleased.However, she didn't want to let him die too quickly. He had committed an unforgivable sin in
The dark green liquid was venom!Sebastian hastily leaped onto the roof of a villa to dodge the attack."Hey, you old hag! Aren't you afraid that you'll end up without any descendants if you treat your granddaughter-in-law like that?" Sebastian questioned mockingly. Violet wasn't angry at all. She laughed instead and said, "Ballard, your reverse psychology won't work on me. Let's see how you kill her!"She cackled again.Human life meant nothing to her, and Candy was just a puppet that the Berkeleys had found. They only wanted to use her body to raise the snake curse until it took over her body completely, after which she could give birth to a true snake spirit baby for them!"Don't regret it, you old hag!"Sebastian suddenly raised his hand, and a strong force immediately weighed down heavily on them."Restrain!"He pressed his palms down in the air as he spoke."Restrain?" A smile had just begun to flash across Violet's face, but then her expression stiffened.The stron
