Though everyone present was excited, Sebastian sighed and shook his head sadly. "It's no use. Joseph has already lost," he declared.Just one sentence was enough to silence the once excited chattering of the crowd.Three of Joseph's students turned to shoot venomous glares at Sebastian."What are you saying, you punk?" one hissed."Why would Mr. Zimmer lose? Do you even know how powerful Shastia Punch is? It's strong enough to break through steel!" another added in annoyance."I think this brat is just spouting nonsense for attention! What a joke!" the other scoffed.Sebastian remained silent even as they cursed him out. He was merely stating facts.It was clear from the fight just now that Joseph had used up all of his energy, yet Elliot hadn't even used a fraction of his strength.This fight was just a game to Elliot!Hans hurriedly tried to explain to Sebastian, "Mr. Ballard, Shastia Punch is actually very well-known in Suden—"However, before he could finish explaining
Elliot twisted his head to lock eyes with a very calm-looking Sebastian. His tone was chilly as he asked, "And who are you? Are you going to fight for Hans as well?"Sebastian flashed a mild smile and his expression remained nonchalant. It was clear that he didn't respect Elliot at all.Meanwhile, Hans rushed to Sebastian's side as he cried, "Dr. Ballard! Save me… please save me…"Right now, Sebastian was his only hope—the only one who could save him.Sebastian nodded. "Since I've already promised you that I would help, I won't go back on my word." Elliot's fury only rose at Sebastian's carefree attitude and casual words. He glared at Sebastian as he roared, "Who the hell are you?"Elliot had actually seen Sebastian when he first came up to the Sky Platform. However, because Sebastian looked extremely young, Elliot paid no mind to his presence at all and thought that he was merely one of Hans' men.However, it was clear to him now that Sebastian wasn't just one of Hans' men.
Only Elliot's master could counter this attack. Hence, he could only run."Fuck! Damn that Hans! How did he find such a powerful backer? It seems like I can't stay here in Steinberg anymore. I can only go overseas now," Elliot muttered to himself as he ran.However, just when Elliot tried to escape, Sebastian sneered coldly. "Too late!"Sebastian waved and shouted toward Elliot's figure, "Freeze!"With that, a spell was made. Elliot's body instantly froze in place. No matter how hard he tried, it seemed as if he was completely immobilized.Joseph, witnessing this, exclaimed in trembling tones, "Incredible, truly incredible! This is a true master!"Who would have thought that such a young man in his 20s was not only a Martial Arts Grandmaster but also a skilled spellcaster?This spell was amazing, indeed!Hans, realizing the situation, shivered and rushed over. He looked at Elliot, who was frozen in a fleeing posture, and then ran toward Sebastian. "Dr. Ballard, why is Ellio
Whitney's sharp evaluation echoed through the radio. "He is someone who isn't knowledgeable! A foolish man clinging to superstitions with no ambition!" The scene erupted into chaos!At the live event, hundreds of spectators were left stunned, engaging in hushed conversations. Simultaneously, the online discussion within the livestream was intense as netizens flooded the comments with fervor.Almost everyone found it hard to believe that a woman would make such a scathing assessment of her ex-husband. What had this man done to incur such disappointment from a woman, especially one as successful as Whitney? Who exactly was Whitney Sutton? She was an elite in Steinberg's business world, worth over a billion, and featured on various magazine covers.She was the most famous female CEO in the last two years!She had also become a figure widely discussed in both Steinberg's business community and among the general public. Due to Whitney's beauty, youthfulness, and significant
Mabel didn't tell her about this arrangement.However, Mabel gestured an "okay" with her hands to Whitney, telling her to relax. She even texted Whitney, "Ms. Sutton, don't worry. It's only a quick interview."Whitney frowned.However, since things had come to this point, she had no choice but to let it unfold naturally.At this moment, tens of thousands of viewers were eagerly anticipating as they watched the livestream.They were staring at the screen, eager to see what this freeloader, who got involved with other women after divorcing, looked like!After a few minutes, a car suddenly entered the frame and stopped at the entrance of the small shop.Subsequently, several people got out of the car.First was a middle-aged man wearing a white suit. He respectfully walked to the back door, opened the car door, and said, "Dr. Ballard, we have arrived."Then, Sebastian stepped out of the car, glancing at the nearby camera.The staff members carrying the camera and microphone rush
The camera zoomed in as Sebastian opened the door to the shop.What appeared on the screen was the interior of the shop, featuring protective charms, mirrors of symbols, a mahogany sword, and various bells. A complete setup resembling the dwelling of a religious con man.The livestream audience was in an uproar."I can't believe it! In this day and age, there are still people involved in these outdated superstitions!""No wonder Whitney dumped him. A man like this is definitely unreliable!""I really want to see how he cons others!"In the studio, the host, upon seeing the appearance of the shop, was also momentarily stunned. He turned his head and looked at Whitney with suspicion. "Ms. Sutton, has your ex-husband always been like this?"Whitney replied, "No.""When did he start?" Whitney pondered for a moment and replied, "About two years ago. When we first got married, he was a very charming and outstanding man. He even received the Steinberg Top Ten Outstanding Youth Awa
Upon hearing this, Joseph displayed a look of astonishment. He clutched his chest as he exclaimed, "Absolutely, Dr. Ballard, you're spot on!"At this point, the viewers in the livestream burst into laughter."No way! Is this some actor he brought in?""Isn't this scripted Q&A and praise? It can't be real!""This is hilarious. It's more entertaining than watching a TV drama.""This won't do. What if the actor he brought doesn't know anything about medicine?"Soon, the online chatter of the netizens caught the host's attention.So, they urgently discussed a plan of action. The final decision was to bring a patient from the hospital to the scene and seek medical advice from Sebastian! The medical records of this patient were already in the hands of the host."Ladies and gentlemen, I've noticed the comments you just made. So, our production team has urgently invited a patient to come to the clinic and seek medical advice from Sebastian. Now, the medical records of this patient are
A moment later, the livestream comment section exploded!"Whoa! Looked it up, it's true!""You young folks don't even recognize Mr. Salvatore! If I were your parents, I'd want to smack some sense into you!""Haha, where's that guy from earlier? He had it rough, so now he's probably begging his grandpa to log in."At this moment, a certain young person holding their phone felt utterly defeated. What was once a moment of triumphant banter with fellow viewers had now turned into a humiliating situation.Then, a sharp viewer in the chat exclaimed, "Whoa! Look, Mr. Salvatore is actually in the livestream!""@RandallSalvatore, hi, Mr. Salvatore, I have nothing to do with this. I'm just here for the show.""@RandallSalvatore, me neither. It's this guy @Artemisxo. He's the one arguing with your grandson."Suddenly, the comments section was filled with a chorus of "Mr. Salvatore".The host, upon seeing these comments, immediately put on a respectful expression and said, "Dear viewers
"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
