Gary bowed to Sebastian. "200 experts at Supreme Grandmaster level have already arrived in Steinberg and are at your service at any time, Mr. Ballard."Sebastian drew in a sharp breath. 200 Supreme Grandmaster level experts had gathered in just a few days' time. That was a very impressive show of skill in assembling people."Thank you, gentlemen. Let's exchange our contact numbers. It'll be easier to communicate." Sebastian exchanged phone numbers with them before leaving.While Sebastian was speeding up with his plans, Hunter had not been idle. He had secretly transferred over around 40-50 Grandmaster level experts from all the Sloanes' organizations nationwide. As Elton had said, people like Sebastian should either be left alone or killed in one strike. They couldn't let him have the chance to catch his breath. Ordinary people couldn't ever understand how terrifying a yellow paper charm expert could be. They could send out supernatural entities like spirits or demons even from
"Betty Warner, the daughter of the richest family in Jovenshire, would like to propose to Mr. Ballard. She's offering 77.77 million and a publicly-listed company as a token of her sincerity!""Luisa Albright, the daughter of the premiere family in Caevon, would like to propose to Mr. Ballard. She's offering two statues of pure gold that weigh over 100 tons in total as a token of her sincerity!""Cora Sutcliffe, the daughter of the Duke of Southam from Draepolis, would like to propose to Mr. Ballard. She's offering ten foreign islands worth 10 billion as a token of her sincerity!"The courthouse in Steinberg was an unassuming building, but for some reason, it was unusually bustling and fraught with tension today!Luxury cars lined the street outside the courthouse, and beside them stood prominent figures who could rattle the fabric of society with just a snap of their fingers!There were individuals from financial oligarchies with hundreds of billions in net worths, underworld king
"Are you certain you want to make such an extreme choice?" Sebastian asked one last time. He wanted to see if Whitney would show any signs of reluctance.Unfortunately, he did not detect even a trace of hesitation in Whitney's expression."We're not right for each other. Let's just go in and finalize the divorce. I'll do my best to meet all of your demands. Even after we've gotten divorced, we can still remain friends," Whitney bit her lip and offered after thinking about it.They could remain friends, huh?Sebastian laughed at Whitney's response. Tears trickled out of the corner of his eyes.It turned out that despite being married for three years, the relationship had been entirely one-sided. He was the presumptuous one.In her eyes, he was merely a stepping stone."Fine. I'll go through with the divorce! I don't need your money, the car, or the house. I can support myself!" Sebastian stubbornly declared."You're going to support yourself with that little shop of yours where
Whitney had just gotten out of the car when she heard what the young woman said to Sebastian. Her expression soured.Be it looks or physique, the gorgeous young woman was just as attractive as Whitney—and she drove a Ferrari.Whitney's chest tightened.When had Sebastian become acquainted with a woman like her?The young woman looked to be in her early 20s, which made her about five or six years younger than Whitney.Whitney immediately felt jealous.Mabel had gotten out of the car too. The sight before her made her frown."I'm sorry, but who are you?" Sebastian asked as he studied the young woman in front of him.She was a young and beautiful woman. Still, he had no idea who she was."Mr. Chester Sinclair recommended you to me, Dr. Ballard. My name is Rosalie Griffin. He said that you have the Goldcrow pill. It is the only thing that can save my grandfather. "My family, the Griffins, are willing to buy it from you for ten million dollars!" Rosalie pleaded tearfully."Chest
Over in Rosalie's car, Sebastian had just found out who she was. She was a part of the Griffins of Janover.Sebastian's brows creased slightly. If not mistaken, the Griffins were the juggernauts of Janover. Every move they made could rock the entire city.If Whitney had been in the car as well, her jaw would have dropped in shock.The Griffins of Janover, the family she desperately wanted to form an association with, were seeking help from Sebastian, the useless man she'd just divorced.Soon, the car stopped outside a residential compound.Once they got out of the car, Rosalie hastily brought Sebastian into one of the bedrooms.A sickly old man lay on the bed. All the color had drained from his face. Even his lips were purplish. Every breath he took seemed to drag on forever. It was as if he were a dying candle flickering in the wind.A middle-aged man and a doctor stood beside the bed. Dressed in linen, the doctor was inserting acupuncture needles into Rosalie's grandfather, Ol
Inside the bedroom, Levi turned to Jonah and said placatingly, "Sorry about that, Dr. Pike. My daughter is too naive. I'm sure she got fooled by someone. I'll give her a good scolding later. Please carry on with the treatment.""Alright," Jonah responded before swiftly placing the next needle.Once he placed the final needle, Oliver, who had been unconscious for many days, slowly opened his eyes."Dad, you're awake! How wonderful!"Levi was so emotional that his eyes grew red.The Griffin family had consulted all of the most famous doctors in the world to find someone who could treat Oliver. Alas, it was to no avail. In the end, they came to Steinberg and went to great lengths to get Jonah to come and take a look at Oliver."You are indeed the genius doctor of Steinberg, Dr. Pike. You were able to save my father from the throes of death! I have never seen anything like this before. From now on, you will forever be the Griffins' most honored guest," Levi declared as he swiftly e
The moment Sebastian's words rang out, the living room descended into silence.Not a single sound could be heard.Rosalie jumped to her feet. Blushing hard, she stared wide-eyed at Sebastian.She could not believe he had the audacity to ask Levi to get on his knees and beg.Levi's expression was unpleasant as well.But, his hesitation only lasted for a brief moment before he fell to his knees and pleaded with utmost sincerity, "Please save my father, Dr. Ballard."Sebastian set down his cup and remarked, "As expected of you, Mr. Griffin. You know when to yield. I'll do it. You may rise."He started walking toward the bedroom.Levi got back on his feet.Rosalie hurried over to him and asked, "Dad, you just—"Levi cut her off and said, "Don't say anything more. I was wrong earlier. It was only right for me to kneel."Then, his eyes flashed menacingly as he continued, "However, if he fails to do what he claims he can do, I'll make him pay!"Although Sebastian was further up, h
"You know your stuff after all. I'm surprised you're familiar with the soul revival technique," Sebastian remarked with a chuckle."I came across records of it in an ancient text by accident, Dr. Ballard. I never thought I'd get to witness it in person today. Please take me as your student, Dr. Ballard!" Jonah said once more.Feeling helpless, Sebastian had no choice but to agree. "Don't tell anyone else I'm your mentor, understood?""Yes, of course. I understand," Jonah said respectfully as he stood beside Sebastian.At that moment, Levi came forward. His mannerisms were respectful as he expressed, "Thank you for saving my father, Dr. Ballard. From today onward, we, the Griffins, will forever be indebted to you! "If you ever need anything, just say the word, and we'll do anything within our means to get it done!""You don't need to be so courteous with me, Mr. Griffin. It wasn't a big deal," Sebastian said."But, I do need your help with something. The Griffins are business ma
Gary bowed to Sebastian. "200 experts at Supreme Grandmaster level have already arrived in Steinberg and are at your service at any time, Mr. Ballard."Sebastian drew in a sharp breath. 200 Supreme Grandmaster level experts had gathered in just a few days' time.

Belinda and the high-level authorities had a very good relationship, so the world was familiar with her and the Warrior League, which was why it was so famous.The members of the Warrior League were able to get a lot of help from their legal counterparts because of Belinda's connections, which was why they appeared to have more influence than other sects.However, that did not mean the Warrior League could stand on its own.The truth was that the Sword Towers wasn't the only martial arts sect that could stand against the Warrior League.It was only because of Belinda's relationship with the high-level authorities and her own abilities that had kept things peaceful until now. Recently, the Elderstone Sect and the Sword Towers had joined forces with the Dragon Sect and had made a big show of announcing their opposition to the Warrior League. That had resulted in martial arts forces who coveted the Warrior League or even those who desired to devour it to turn their eyes on Ventus
Looking at the fruits of his labor, Sebastian wiped the sweat off his brow in satisfaction and headed out with the newly refined energy replenishing pills in a hurry.He had to keep his word, after all. Since he had already promised Blake to bring more energy replenishing pills for Belinda, he wouldn't go back on his word.When Sebastian appeared at Ventus Estate with his bag dangling from his arm, several of the guards came up to him from afar. "What are you holding, Mr. Ballard? Let me help you."The night Sebastian had sent Gary and the other four elders flying with a single slap, the guards had also been present. They had been thoroughly intimidated by Sebastian's power.That slap had been enough to shock the heavens and the earth.Therefore, everyone in the Warrior League, especially those in Steinberg, was filled with respect for Sebastian. They were much more respectful to him than before."Take them all in and give them to Blake," Sebastian said, putting the bag on the fl
Gary scowled. The slap had almost shattered his internal organs. He was lying when he said that he hadn't been severely injured, but Belinda had a sharp eye, and he wasn't able to lie to her.Compared to the medicine, Belinda was more curious about how Sebastian's skills had improved so quickly. Just 20 days or so ago, she had still been confident of defeating him within 100 moves.Now, however, Belinda could sense that Sebastian's skills were roughly on par with hers. She had a strong feeling that Sebastian was hiding a huge secret. "Gentlemen, I'm wondering about how Sebastian improved so quickly," Belinda said and compared Sebastian's previous skills with his current abilities. After she finished speaking, the elders looked flummoxed. Even if Sebastian had been training day and night without rest, he would never have been able to reach the level of the Celestial realm in his twenties. "Do you mean to say that Sebastian is hiding a big secret, Madam Dragon?" Gary asked, frown
"No! We get one each!" Edward moved quickly and grabbed one bottle, which he held close to his chest.Drake and the others were dumbstruck. Why had Gary and Edward switched sides after getting slapped?Gary and Edward glanced at the others. They both returned to their seats as if nothing had happened.When Terry saw that the two of them were walking swiftly, as if they hadn't been injured at all, he finally lifted his head and ate the pill that Sebastian had given them. As the spiritual energy in his body was restored, Drake and the others finally understood why Gary and Edward had been fighting for the bottle of medicine that Sebastian had given them. The pills could restore their spiritual energy very quickly, and they could also soothe any internal injuries. To experts like them, having those pills would be like having an extra life.Terry left the arena. He had turned red, and he approached Belinda to whisper something in her ear. He wanted her to ask Sebastian for more of
Edward and Gary joined the fray. They stood to the left and to the right, and their calloused palms reached out to hit Sebastian on the shoulder.At the same time, Terry lunged at Sebastian, and his palm came crashing down on the top of Sebastian's head. Sebastian moved slightly, and in the blink of an eye, he was already at the other end of the arena."Gentlemen, do forgive me for what I'm about to do." Sebastian had given way to several moves to show his respect for the elders, but that didn't mean that he would not retaliate."Forgive you? Die!" Gary was furious as he reached out to slap Sebastian in the face.Sebastian held one arm behind his back as he waved a hand casually.There was a slap as two palms collided, and Gary flew backward. As soon as he landed, he spat out a mouthful of blood."Mr. Jorson!" Belinda instinctively leaned forward as she looked worriedly at Gary.Before she could stop the other elders, four more figures were sent flying backward through the air
"I admit defeat. You are more powerful than you appear." Dylan had turned red. He bowed to Sebastian.He knew that Sebastian had held back on his strength when hitting him. Otherwise, there was no way he would still be standing there unharmed."You're useless! What have I always taught you?" Terry stood up angrily. Since his apprentice had been defeated, he would have to regain their pride himself. Sebastian looked up at the sky, which was slowly turning brighter. He smiled and said, "Is there anyone else who wants to battle me? Why don't you just do it all at once? If we have to do things one at a time, it'll be morning by the time we're done." Elara had been watching from the second floor, and she couldn't help feeling nervous for Sebastian after hearing what he had said. Even Belinda wouldn't dare to be so cocky. Terry and the others were all top experts in the Celestial realm and above. Did Sebastian have a death wish?"Ms. Lucox, don't pinch me." Elara had been pinching h
Blake smiled contemptuously. These old men were much too arrogant."What do you think, Madam Dragon?" Blake ignored Drake and the others and spoke directly to Belinda with his head lowered."The Five Great Mountains requires Mr. Ballard to defeat three of the respected elders of the Warrior League. What do you think, Mr. Ballard?" Belinda was smiling brightly. Blake was so quick-witted. He had silently set up a trap for the elders and pushed them in. In a battle, none of the six Warrior League elders present in the hall would be a match for Sebastian."Let's do it appropriately." Sebastian smiled and nodded.The elders shot Sebastian a sideway glance. They felt that he was being very bold. He was obviously hinting to them to say that he would be merciful. "You are a very bold young man!" The old man sitting right at the end huffed coldly at Sebastian.His name was Terry Henson, and although he was ranked last among the seven elders, he was actually the strongest among them.
Even if Mike's men hadn't left, they would be no match for Elton at all.Belinda smiled brightly and nodded. Sebastian had saved her daughter's life, and she couldn't refuse such a minor request."Madam Dragon, please allow me to be blunt. There has been no precedent of people from the Warrior League acting as bodyguards for people who have nothing to do with us," one of the elders said as he stood up, looking displeased.His name was Bertie Zoll, and he was one of the seven main elders of the Warrior League. He was at the third level of the Celestial realm and a respected figure in the Warrior League. In fact, even Belinda had to show him respect at certain moments."Mr. Zoll, Mr. Ballard isn't that kind of person. Since he asked to borrow them, he's sure to return them." Belinda looked pointedly at Sebastian, as if she was waiting for him to speak up."Don't worry, Madam Dragon. I'll be sure to return them within ten days," Sebastian said, bowing. Yet another old man laughed c
