Elton was furious with what Gary had said.They hadn't even started the fight yet. How did Gary know that Elton would not be able to defeat Sebastian? How could he have the audacity to ask for the sword already?"No problem. That sword isn't of much use to me anyway." Sebastian grinned and stepped forward.Elton held the long sword and flourished it as he also took a step forward. He wasn't confident in facing Sebastian. However, it wasn't that he had no confidence in his own abilities. It was just that Lyanna was too much of an unknown factor. She could make him hallucinate at any moment.When it came to fights at close quarters, a moment's distraction could lose him his life. And if hallucinations were added on top of that, it would be even harder for him to win."Go ahead." Sebastian smiled widely and shook Purity, and the valley glowed with a flash of lightning."Sebastian, if you use the art of illusion to kill me, I will never accept it, even in death," Elton said pointed
However, within the emerald pendant, there were two fish-shaped symbols swimming through it in an endless cycle. One was white, and the other was red.The glow had come from the white fish-shaped symbol."It's the Lumigo pendant!" Sebastian cried out in surprise.In the Sacred Medicine Secret Annals, there had been records of many kinds of celestial and even sacred treasures. The Lumigo pendant was one of the Ten Sacred Treasures.It was said that those who obtained this treasure could master light and dark energy and gain knowledge of the heavens and the earth.Could Elton have such a legendary treasure in his possession?"What's that, Mr. Ballard?" Gary craned his neck to look at the emerald pendant in Sebastian's hand. "It's just a piece of emerald. Nothing to get excited about," Sebastian lied casually.Beside them, Lyanna stared intently at the Lumigo pendant in Sebastian's hand. She knew more than anyone how valuable it was. It was a pioneering treasure in metempsychosis
After Sebastian took Whitney back to the pharmaceutical factory, Gary called over the apprentices that he had sent previously. After giving them a stern rebuking, he finally left with Sebastian.After the lesson they had learned, the eight apprentices were divided into two groups. One of them would shadow Whitney at all times to prevent a similar incident from happening again.Early the next morning, Zane was looking through his Instagram while eating breakfast. When he saw Sebastian walk into the dining room, he hastily held out his phone. "Look, Seb!"Sebastian turned to look, and Zane frowned as he said, "Why does this strange person look so familiar? I just can't remember where I've seen him before."Sebastian studied the face in the photo, and his heart sank. It was none other than Hunter! He had been looking right at the camera, and his features were crystal clear.However, Hunter's face was very swollen, and he walked like someone who had polio. In fact, the shoe on his lef
After all, no matter how many martial arts experts there were in an organization of assassins like the Slaughter Gods, they could never measure up to a proper sect.Besides, the Sword Towers was one of the most prestigious sects, and they were on the same level as that of the Warrior League."Oh? There are very few people who would still be alive for so long after offending the Slaughter Gods. It seems that he has an interesting background." There was a sudden, sharp gleam in Roy's rheumy eyes."That wouldn't be strange. In my opinion, he must be part of one of the mystic martial arts sects, and it's very likely that he's from one of the most prestigious sects. He's probably just been confined to the city until now."How could a third-rate organization of assassins like the Slaughter Gods be any match for someone like him?"Brendan scoffed disdainfully, adding, "If it had been Ethan, the Slaughter Gods would probably already be history."He didn't mean to belittle the Slaughter G
Roy's expression relaxed slightly upon seeing that Brendan had relented. At that moment, a maid who was carrying tea accidentally spilled it on him."Mr. Sloane Senior, I… I didn't do it on purpose," the maid said fearfully.Roy looked down at his suit and smiled faintly. "It's alright. We're not saints. Everyone's bound to make a mistake sometimes. I know you didn't mean to do it."The maid breathed a long sigh of relief.However, Roy suddenly flicked the paper fan he was holding. There was an icy flash, and the maid's legs were sliced off at the knee."Although none of us are saints, that is no reason for you to make mistakes as you wish." Roy's gaze sharpened as he said to the black-clad men waiting outside the door. "Drag her out and cut off her hands."The maid didn't even have time to plead for mercy before she was dragged outside by two black-clad men.Roy only stood from his seat when it was late at night, and he gazed out at the night sky through the window."Sebasti
"My lord, shall I go with you? I might be able to help," Lyanna said, smiling as brightly as a flower."Well…" Sebastian's brow furrowed tightly. He intended to prevent her from doing so.However, Rosalie was delighted with Lyanna's courteous behavior, so she interrupted before Sebastian could finish. "Sure! One more person means that we'll have more strength. Let's go, hurry!"Rosalie took Sebastian's arm and walked toward the car.Lyanna's footsteps were very light, and she got into the passenger's seat as quickly as a whirlwind. Rosalie couldn't help turning to look at Sebastian in shock. "She… she's Mike's apprentice and has some basics in martial arts," Sebastian explained casually.Rosalie nodded slightly. After getting into the back seat with Sebastian, she said to the driver, "Hurry, drive."As the car drove into the neighborhood of villas in the western suburbs of Sunway, Lyanna's expression changed slightly. Her brow wrinkled as she said, "There's death energy!"Se
Rosalie led Sebastian and Lyanna to the villa next door.The entire row of villas belonged to Norman, and he had moved next door with his family after Lorcan Croydon suddenly lost his mind.When the doorbell rang, a maid hastily opened the door."Martha, is Mr. Nichols Senior at home?" Rosalie asked politely."Yes, Mr. Nichols Senior is waiting for you. Come with me," Martha Wendley said. She led Rosalie and the others into the study.Norman was pacing back and forth, looking extremely agitated.Technically, he was already retired, and he had passed on all his properties and assets to his descendants. However, he had gotten restless lately and had a discussion with Oliver, after which he decided to accomplish something glorious once more.He had then contacted Lorcan. He was planning to join forces with Croydon Group, which was planning to establish itself in Dramon. They had big plans for Sartvale.Oliver also intended to let Rosalie make a name for herself, which was why he h
Norman was still hiding the news. He couldn't let the world know that something had happened to Lorcan in Sartvale, because the effects of it would be huge. Even the authorities were keeping it under wraps, and they had a strict blockade on all news of the incident."Why is it like that, Sebastian?" Rosalie was trembling with fear.She had only heard that Lorcan had gotten a strange kind of condition which made him bite everyone he saw, and only on the neck.She had never imagined that the people he bit would end up with such ghastly wounds."Don't worry, it'll be fine." Sebastian comforted Rosalie.The truth was that Sebastian was also a little baffled. Norman's wound didn't look as if he had been poisoned, nor was it an ordinary wound. What was that black pus?"Mr. Nichols Senior, shall I ask your sons to come back?" Martha asked tearfully."Shut up! Why would you tell them to come back? Do you want them to see me in this state?" Norman waved a hand impatiently at Martha.M
From how pale Sebastian was, Bryson deduced that he must be very sick or extremely weak. He even felt that fighting against Sebastian would be an insult.Although he wasn't the top fighter in the Lynch family, he was still one of the best ones. There was no honor in winning against a sick person."I'm going to give you the same words," Sebastian said, smiling widely."Mr. Lynch, he's actually very powerful. I don't think that Bryson will be a match for him. Why don't you let them attack together?"Jayden had seen Sebastian fight before. Although he could see that Sebastian looked unwell, he was still an expert. It would be better to be more wary. Colton rolled his eyes at Jayden. He knew Bryson's skill level. How could an expert who was at the eighth level of the Energy Refining Technique lose against a sick man?Sebastian looked so frail that he was sure to be knocked out as soon as they started fighting. Plus, the number of people in the whole of Acorn City who could last more
Colton nodded slightly and patted Cliff on the shoulder. He turned and said to Sebastian, "You heard him. He's one of our men. Therefore, you can't take that with you, but you won't make too much of a loss. Here's a check for 500 thousand dollars. Hand that emerald buckle over!"Colton was clearly not going to give Sebastian a choice in the matter. He was used to doing whatever he pleased by relying on his family's influence. Besides, they were also on very good terms with the local Martial Arts Court. He couldn't use his family's connections for the grudge between Jayden and Sebastian, but he would have ample reason to use the Lynches' influence for a priceless emerald buckle.There always had to be a legitimate reason. Clearly, Colton was smarter than Jayden. "I'm not interested in your check, and I'm not going to give it to you either!" Sebastian answered coldly without even glancing at the check.Colton looked thoughtfully at Sebastian and clasped his hands behind his back.
Sebastian had just walked out of the antiques street and had held out his hand to flag down a cab when a middle-aged man in black training clothes walked over to him. The man held out a hand to block Sebastian and Unus' path."Stop!" Sebastian glanced at the middle-aged man and asked, "And what can I do for you?""Mr. Lynch wants to see you. Come with me!" the middle-aged man said icily."Mr. Lynch? Who the hell is that?" Sebastian asked sardonically, sneering. "It's Colton Lynch, and you better remember it!"Sebastian heard a clear, crisp voice. Two young men walked over to him, one walking slightly in front of the other.There was a young man in a branded suit next to the first one. Sebastian couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw the young man next to Colton. It was Jayden, his old friend from Sartvale.Sebastian had never expected to meet Jayden Acorn City. Now that he thought about it, Jayden still owed him a life. If Sebastian hadn't shown mercy to him, the flowers
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
