"Look at yourself! Mr. Griffin Senior might not even know who you are!" Xander yelled loudly."Don't you think you're being too conceited?" Sebastian's smile dropped. If it wasn't for the fact that it was Oliver's welcome banquet, Sebastian would have slapped Xander already."I can afford to be conceited, compared to you! You're a mere traditional medicine doctor with no name, and you have no right to be in such a place. Get out!" Xander hollered once more.The two security guards standing behind him stepped forward at the same time, looking as if they were ready to kick Sebastian out."Think carefully about this. You'll be sure to regret it if you don't!" Sebastian said, laughing sardonically.Rosalie had just finished a toast and was walking over to Sebastian. When she saw what was happening, her brow wrinkled. She took Sebastian's arm and said, "Let's go. I'm going to take you somewhere."Sebastian felt Rosalie's gentle breath against his neck, and his heart fluttered."Where
The two security guards retreated further when they saw that Rosalie was angry. Although Rosalie had been kicked out of the Griffin family, Oliver was very fond of her.If they offended her, things would not go well for them."Who are you? So what if he's your boyfriend?" Xander asked angrily, pointing at Rosalie."Who am I?" Rosalie looked at him as if he were an idiot. She said, "Let them tell you!"The two security guards said quickly, "That's the heiress of the Griffin family."Xander broke out into a cold sweat from fear. Had he really tried to flirt with the Griffin heiress?He couldn't afford to offend either Rosalie or Cornelius. If he hadn't offended one of the Griffins, Oliver might have been lenient, but it would be a completely different story if he offended Rosalie's boyfriend.If Cornelius wanted to target the Winters, he could bankrupt them within minutes. Even if he had a connection with Hunter, the Sloanes would never offend the Griffins and the Nicholses on his
Even a fully equipped large hospital wouldn't have been able to do much for Norman, let alone them. Usually, conditions like this would be left up to fate.Sebastian went up to Norman and looked at him. His face had turned a purplish-black. He nodded and sighed as he said, "Call your men at once and tell them to take out the Energy Cleansing Vase. Dig a hole and bury it."Cornelius nodded quickly and pulled out his phone to make the call.Before long, Cornelius hurried over to Sebastian and said, "Mr. Ballard, as you instructed, the Energy Cleansing Vase has been taken to a mountain several miles away from my home and buried in a big hole about 12 feet deep."Sebastian nodded slightly. He took out three paper charms and bit his middle finger. He used the blood to draw out three spiritual charms. As he was getting ready to use them to get rid of the evil energy in Norman's body, a specialist doctor stopped him. "Wait! What you're doing is superstitious and backward! What the patie
At that moment, the unconscious Norman suddenly spat out a huge mouthful of dark blood, and his complexion regained some of its rosiness. "Dad, how do you feel?" When Cornelius saw that Norman had regained consciousness, he lunged over to the side of the bed in concern. Norman gulped in huge breaths and nodded, looking shaken. "I feel much better. Thank you for your help, Sebastian!"Norman forced himself to sit up and bowed to Sebastian.At the sight of his complete recovery, the people who had doubted Sebastian at first were wide-eyed with astonishment. Norman had been severely ill, but Sebastian had saved him with just three spiritual charms!…"Where were you going to take me?" Sebastian leaned over to Rosalie once they had left and were out of sight of the rest. "Let's go." Rosalie took his arm and walked quickly in the direction of the back garden.When they arrived, they saw Oliver, Cillian, and Wyatt. The three of them were sitting together in a pavilion, talking a
"The less you know about this, the better. You'd better go back to the main hall and help me entertain the guests," Oliver said.Rosalie pouted and put down the teapot she was holding. She swung Oliver's arm playfully and said, "Grandpa, I'm just curious! Just let me listen.""Be obedient!" Oliver's brow furrowed, and his expression became stern.Rosalie noticed that Oliver was getting angry, so she had no choice but to leave the back garden reluctantly.After he watched her walk off into the distance, he continued, "The Dragon Sect is planning on joining forces with Sword Towers and the most important local sect in Steinberg, which is the Elderstone Sect. They want to take the position of chairman of the Martial Arts Association. "They'll use it to control the martial arts and business community in the whole of Sartvale so that they can help the Dragon Sect to stand firm in Dramon."I know that you're already in a feud with the Beckards because of Rosalie, so whether or not you
"What is it?" Sebastian asked, raising an eyebrow. "Just a couple of minutes ago, all the medicinal herb suppliers called almost simultaneously to say that they want to cancel their contracts with us. "We have less than eight days until we have to hand over the first batch of the Gold Remedy. Where are we supposed to find other suppliers in such a short amount of time?" Whitney asked.What? Sebastian's heart dropped to his stomach."Sword Towers must have colluded with the Healer Sect and used their influence in the pharmaceutical industry to influence Sartvale's business world," Cillian said, looking stern. Sartvale had always been a prominent medical state in Dramon, and it took up a huge chunk of Dramon's pharmaceutical industry. If they cut off the medicinal herb supplies to Sartvale, it would make Sartvale's businesses collapse instantly.At the same time, Sword Towers would get control of Sartvale's Martial Arts Association, which would solidify their position in Sartval
Hunter chuckled and said, "It's simple. We'll use the Sartzade Chamber of Commerce and exert pressure on Trey from the pharmaceutical factory so that we can force him to hand over the land for the Arctic Snow Group pharmaceutical factory! "If they lose both their supply channels and their pharmaceutical factory, what do you think is going to happen to them?"Jace's eyes lit up.That was right! They could use the Sartzade Chamber of Commerce to strike a fatal blow on Arctic Snow Group. That would mean that Sebastian and Rosalie would be unable to do anything about it, no matter how capable they were. Jace couldn't help giving Hunter a thumbs-up as he said, "Great plan!"He then ordered his men, "Come on, call Ryder now and tell him to exert pressure on Trey in the name of the Sartzade Chamber of Commerce, just as Hunter suggested!"…While Sebastian and Whitney were discussing countermeasures, Ryder went personally to Trey.When Trey heard him mention Sartzade Chamber of Comme
Early the next morning, Sebastian and Whitney were discussing ways that they could solve the issue with the medicinal herb suppliers when a security guard suddenly barged in."Mr. Ballard, Ms. Sutton, they—"Before the security guard could finish, Ryder walked in with over a dozen bodyguards, looking very menacing.Sebastian waved at the first security guard and gestured for him to leave.He glanced at the dozen or so bodyguards behind Ryder, and he couldn't help laughing as he said, "Are you here to get beaten up?"Ryder laughed sardonically and waved the land transfer agreement in his hand. He said coldly, "I've bought this land, so this pharmaceutical factory needs to move away within three days!"Ryder tossed the document smugly onto Whitney's desk.Although Sebastian and Whitney still had the operating permit for the pharmaceutical factory, the land no longer belonged to Arctic Snow Group. That meant that they only had the rights to the buildings, which would be useless.R
"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
