Sebastian was startled.River Corporation wasn't just famous in the state; it was renowned in the whole of Dramon, and it had a very good reputation in the industry.Sebastian looked at Norman and knew at once that he wasn't an ordinary man.Even in every breath he took, Sebastian could sense the unique energy that only experts at the most advanced Supreme Grandmaster level possessed."Hello, Mr. Nichols Senior." Sebastian bowed very politely to Norman."You must be Dr. Ballard! Oliver has mentioned you to me before. I didn't expect you to be so young and accomplished." Norman nodded admiringly. "I only know a little about medicine. I wouldn't say that I'm a miracle doctor. Just call me Sebastian," he said modestly."Well, Sebastian, you are much too modest. I'd like you to have a look at me later," Norman said, smiling.Sebastian nodded slightly. Actually, the moment he had entered the room, he had sensed an evil energy from Norman.Although Norman looked energetic on the ou
The middle-aged man was Norman's oldest son, Cornelius Nichols. He was also the future head of the Nichols family.Although Oliver and his family had nothing but praise for Sebastian, Cornelius didn't think that a traditional medicine doctor in his 20s would be up to much. He felt that it was all false advertising.Besides, a geomancy expert from Janover had tested that Energy Cleansing Vase already! It was definitely a treasure that would benefit its owner's home, but Sebastian had called it evil! He was clearly trying to latch on to the Nichols family by saying those alarming things.Sebastian had been about to continue, but he stopped speaking after hearing what Cornelius said.Anyone whose body had been invaded by such an evil object would need to use spiritual charms to eliminate the evil influence from their bodies if they wanted to stay alive. Otherwise, even if they got rid of the evil object, they would not live for much longer!Norman noticed that Sebastian's expression
"Dad, even if he does know a thing or two, he's only a traditional medicine doctor. You can't seriously think that he knows about geomancy and the mystic arts! I think he's just looking for a reason to latch onto us!" Cornelius said directly."Latch onto you? You really are conceited!" Oliver gave Cornelius a contemptuous look.What about the Janover Dunhills? Weren't they more powerful than the Nicholses?The head of the Dunhill family was actually taking the initiative to strike up a relationship with Sebastian! Who did the Nicholses think they were?"Norman, have you heard of Angus?" Oliver asked calmly.Norman raised an eyebrow. Of course he had. The Dunhills were a formidable presence in both politics and business."Angus gave Sebastian a thousand-year-old centurion root that's worth 200 million so that he could get on Sebastian's good side. Sebastian didn't even give him a smile in return.""What?" Cornelius turned pale with fright.Norman and Angus weren't close, but
"The problem is that I don't want to choose," Rosalie retorted before Sebastian could say anything.Sebastian suppressed a smile and rolled his eyes at the man."Come on, beautiful. Let me buy you a drink." The young man snapped his fingers, and two waiters pushed over a cart.The waiter opened the silver cover on the cart, which contained all kinds of liquor."I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm a mixologist, and my name is Xander Winter. I'm the future successor of Prosperity Real Estate, which is a subsidiary of Winter Group."Xander was showing off about his family's influence. He took out a cocktail glass and began mixing up a cocktail.He had just heard about Sebastian and the others from Bosco the day before, and he knew that Bosco had ended up at a huge disadvantage.If he could humiliate Sebastian in public or steal away his date, he would be able to get one back for the Winter family.His position in the Winter family would be sure to rise as a result, and he'd be lea
When women saw that Winter Group's biggest real estate company was printed on Xander's name card and that he was the future successor of Prosperity Real Estate, they always fell for him instantly.The finishing touch was to tickle their palms slightly, which was when the women would give him some kind of response, after which…Xander had won the hearts of countless women, and he was one of the most romantically experienced men in Sunway.He was very confident and felt that he had already conquered Rosalie, who was an exquisite specimen.However, unexpectedly, Rosalie didn't respond to him at all. She wrinkled her brow instead and tossed his name card on the floor. She then took out a silk handkerchief and wiped her hand a few times before tossing the handkerchief into the trash can.Xander turned bright red. He could not understand why Rosalie was rejecting him. She had even embarrassed him in front of so many people. Those who were attending the Griffins' banquet were all peo
"I'm a doctor. Why would I lie to you? That wouldn't benefit me at all," Sebastian said, spreading his hands.After the incident with the bus, Sebastian had become famous all throughout the country.Xander had seen the news, so he was familiar with Sebastian's name. Although he hadn't felt much discomfort except for a slight bloating, after what Sebastian had said, he immediately felt uncomfortable. Therefore, he nodded vigorously at Sebastian, indicating that he would do as the latter said."Okay, place your hand at a space of about two fingers below your navel. This is an acupuncture point. Now move your finger to the left. That's right, that's the spot."Xander did as Sebastian said and put his hand over the acupuncture point near his navel."Press down hard with your thumb gently and move the palm of your hand in a clockwise direction. You must be gentle," Sebastian instructed earnestly. The onlookers who had heard of Sebastian's reputation as a miracle doctor, as well as
"Sebastian! I—" Xander could not finish his sentence. He held his butt tightly with both hands as he ran toward the entrance to escape.He did not dare to take wide steps at all because even the tiniest step would send gas leaking out of his behind.How could Xander bear it? His image as the top ladies' man of Sartvale was ruined!As soon as he got to the door, Xander could no longer suppress it. He let out another string of loud farts that seemed to rise and fall like the symphony of an orchestra. It even had a certain rhythm to it.He could even feel a slight pain in his behind.Despite this, he dared not remain at the door for long. He ran out in a very strange-looking position. Sebastian watched him escape and sneered. Xander was much too inexperienced to fight with him."That was mean of you." Rosalie walked over and took his arm. She pinched him gently around the waist."Well, women like bad boys, don't they? Besides, I'm a doctor. How could I just stand by when I can te
"What is it? Mr. Nichols Senior isn't ill, is he?" Sebastian scanned the room and realized that there was no sign of Norman and Cornelius. He guessed that something must have happened."Yes. Mr. Nichols Senior was taken ill all of a sudden. They're about to send him to the hospital. He's in a critical condition, and Mr. Griffin Senior would like to ask you to help Mr. Nichols Senior get through it, no matter what," the butler said nervously.Sebastian frowned. It was just as he had expected. If they tried to administer emergency treatment for a myocardial infarction, Norman would die. Sebastian did want to help. After all, he was a doctor.However, when he thought of Cornelius' earlier attitude, he said reluctantly, "I already told Mr. Nichols Senior just now that his condition is because of the invasion of an evil spirit. He has to get rid of that evil object before he can be saved.""However, Mr. Nichols doesn't seem to take it seriously at all. He even thought that I was trick
The old man nodded slightly and said, "That's right. My name is Solomon Jackman. If you think things through, you can come to Townsend Clinic. We can discuss the price!"Solomon bowed to Sebastian before squeezing out of the crowd. Cliff's eyes reddened as he watched Solomon leave. Solomon was a prominent figure in Acorn City. Not only did he have exceptional medical skills, he was also skilled in martial arts. However, neither of those were Solomon's true specialty. What he was most skilled at was antique appraisal! Any antique that Solomon appraised was sure to be a treasure among treasures.Noticing Sebastian and Unus turning to walk away, Cliff immediately became agitated. "Stop!" he shouted.Sebastian turned to glance at him and said, "A deal's a deal. No returns or refunds. You said that yourself. It's the rule of the antique industry!"Cliff ignored all of that. He came out from behind his stall and grabbed Sebastian's sleeve. "I'm not going to sell that emerald pendan
"I don't think that you've seen the original form of this emerald pendant, either," Sebastian said, smiling coldly at Cliff. Cliff looked disdainfully at him. He felt that Sebastian was just unhappy about being tricked and was trying to provoke him. "Stop putting on that mysterious act. Why wouldn't I know about something that belongs to me?" Cliff demanded with a scoff. "You might really not know," Sebastian replied. He closed his palm slightly and exerted a slight force. The layer of stone on top of the emerald pendant peeled off. While everyone looked on, dumbstruck, Sebastian opened his palm once more. The crowd gasped.There were two clouds of energy on the emerald pendant, chasing each other like a pair of fish. One was black, while the other was red. The emerald pendant had been square-shaped originally, but it had now become a round emerald buckle. In the middle of it, a pale yellow energy was rising slowly. Everyone cried out in shock. It was clearly a rare trea
Some people just didn't know what was good for them. Even if Cliff had wanted to laugh, he should have waited for Sebastian to leave before doing so. How could he call a buyer a fool while they were still there?"It may be a little crude, my young friend, but it doesn't change the fact that you were hoodwinked!" Cliff said, guffawing gleefully.Since Sebastian had already paid, he could no longer take it back. After all, it was a rule never to accept returns or refunds. When Cliff thought of how he had charged Sebastian more than ten thousand for something that had only cost him about 300 to 400 dollars, he became even more smug. "You'll just have to bear with it, my young friend. Not regretting your purchase is the rule of the antique industry. Even if you've now found out that you were deceived, you can't get your money back!""That's right. The work on the emerald pendant that you're holding is so shoddy that it was clearly just done last week. It's a new item!" "Watch out
Sebastian laughed at the reluctant expression on the stall owner's face. He weighed the emerald pendant in his hand and asked, "Mister, are you sure that this emerald pendant is worth 210 thousand?"With that, he tossed it onto the counter and turned to leave."Huh?"The stall owner immediately ran around to the front of the stall when he saw that Sebastian was about to leave. He grabbed him and said, "Don't be in such a rush to leave, my young friend. Let's negotiate. If you're sincere about buying it, I'll sell it to you at 150 thousand, and I'll be making a loss. Let this be the start of a friendship between us!"Sebastian smiled slightly and said, "Mister, even a layman can tell that this emerald pendant is a fake. I just like the patterns on it because it's quite trendy. That's why I asked about it on a whim."Describing the patterns on the antique as trendy only served to show how obvious it was that it was a fake.The stall owner turned beet red, then white. He cursed hi
However, the more famous something was, the more imitations there would be. Antiques were no exception. In Boren, streets filled with antique stores were abundant. From Klane City to the smallest town, they were omnipresent.There were stores and stalls of various kinds that had everything, but all of them had one thing in common. All the antiques and trinkets that they sold were a mixed bag of authentic and fake. Buyers had to rely on their own judgment. There was also an unspoken rule there. Once a deal was made, no returns were allowed. If a buyer had paid for an item before realizing that something was wrong or recognizing that it was a fake, they would have no choice but to accept it. There was a saying about how the golden age of antiques was during times of chaos. Although they were now in times of peace, many members of the upper class were still very interested in them. Both experts and laymen liked to have a few collector's items in their homes. There were plenty of we
"Watch him closely! If you lose him, I'll have your head!" Anton said before hanging up. A malicious grin spread across his face.As the son of the head director of Boren Martial Arts Court, many were eager to curry favor with him. If it came to dealing with Sebastian, there were plenty of people willing to do the dirty work for him. Acorn City was the second largest city in Boren after Klane City, and Anton knew just who to call. About two weeks ago, the Lynch family of Acorn City had sent gifts to him. However, as the Lynches were a third-rate elite martial arts family, Anton had dismissed them. That was why, despite searching frantically, he couldn't find Colton Lynch's name card."Damn it! Where did that asshole's name card get to?"It was the first time Anton had been so anxious about finding the name card of an heir from a third-rate family. After rummaging around for a while, Anton had a sudden flash of inspiration. It was in the trash can!He suddenly remembered that
Sebastian laughed wryly and shook his head at Nina's words. "Nina, you're staying behind so everyone thinks I'm still here. Rowan and Arran will stay here with you so that no one will become suspicious!"Nina frowned. "But I'll be worried about you being with Unus. It's still just a beast whose rational capabilities aren't fully developed yet. What if it—"Sebastian smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry. Hugo has subdued them completely already, so nothing unexpected will happen. Honestly, there isn't much in Boren that worries me. However, if the Yome Sect enters Steinberg while its defenses are down, we'll be put in a difficult position."Though reluctant, Nina finally agreed.That night, Sebastian quietly brought Unus out with him. As soon as he walked out of the hotel doors, two thugs hiding at the side of the road who had been watching them stealthily immediately reported his movements to Anton."Are you sure it was Sebastian?" Anton demanded sharply."Positive! He looks e
"Kneel!" Joaquin yelled at Anton the moment he entered the room.Anton immediately dropped to his knees with a loud thud in front of Sebastian."My lord, my son is worthless. Everything that happened before was his doing. He has been a disgrace to our family. Please have mercy on his crimes," Joaquin said. He looked up at Sebastian and was puzzled to see how terrible his complexion was.Nina had been injured the day before, so why was it now the other way around? She had a rosy complexion, while Sebastian looked as white as a sheet."Alright. The important thing is to learn from one's mistakes and change. Don't forget the oath that you made. If you break it, I won't have to punish you. The law of heaven will act accordingly!" Sebastian said coldly."Yes, of course! I would never dare to break the oath! But…" Joaquin looked at Sebastian with a troubled expression.Sebastian frowned slightly and asked, "But what?""I can see that you don't look very well, my lord. Should I prepa
After resting for the whole night, Nina's complexion had almost returned to normal. Even the wounds on her body had almost healed.In stark contrast, Sebastian looked worse than ever.It was the aftereffect of losing too much blood essence. If it wasn't for the fact that he had the legacy of the Sacred Medicine Society, he might have already been half-dead. Even so, Sebastian felt weaker than he had ever felt before. His legs felt like jelly, and he was unsteady on his feet."My lord…"Rowan blanched with fear when he saw Sebastian. Sebastian was as pale as a sheet. Even his lips had lost all color."My lord, how did you get into this state?" Rowan asked, clearly confused. Sebastian had seemed fine when they returned to Mount Klane the night before. Waving his hand slightly, Sebastian replied, "I'm fine. I'll get better after some rest. Why are you up so early?"Rowan grew even more worried after hearing how frail Sebastian sounded."My lord, did you get severely injured o
