She knew Randall, of course. He was the President of Steinberg's traditional medicine organization and held a high position.If a man like him gave Sebastian such high remarks on his acupuncture technique, then it meant Sebastian was really good at it.But how?Whitney frowned.However, Mabel scoffed coldly and said, "It's just an acupuncture technique, so it can't showcase his medical skills. We're talking about his medical skills today, not his acupuncture technique. Is he really that great for using a few needles, huh? What a joke!"The host smiled and said, "Ms. Lucero is right. Let us continue watching Sebastian's skills."…Sebastian was done with the treatment and began storing his needles. "It's done," he announced. Joseph quickly moved his body and exclaimed, "My god! It's really not painful anymore! Dr. Ballard, your acupuncture technique is really top-tier! I was wrong for not recognizing you at first. I hope you forgive me."Sebastian smiled lightly. "All good. Bu
Dispel their doubts?The entire livestream suddenly became unusually lively and intense."Why does he think he can dispel doubts? He's just a freeloading scumbag! What right does he have to say that?" "Hilarious! What medical skills does he have?""Look at all those protective charms and mirrors of symbols in the room. If that's not the setup of a superstitious charlatan, what is it?"Of course, some alo started supporting Sebastian based on the acupuncture technique he displayed earlier."I think he might know a thing or two.""Yeah, even Mr. Salvatore praised his acupuncture technique. Someone like that surely must have medical skills.""He doesn't look like a scumbag. Maybe someone's intentionally trying to smear him?"Instantly, the two sides erupted into a heated argument within the livestream.In the studio, Whitney stared at the screen, her brows furrowed deeply. She then texted Mabel, "Are these comments from people you brought in?"Mabel replied calmly, "Yes, Ms. S
"Just admit that you don't have any medical skills, and I'll take care of the aftermath."Inside the shop, a phone chimed with a notification. Sebastian picked it up and glanced at it before he chuckled indifferently and replied with a message, "Ms. Sutton, you needn't worry about me. Unfortunately, I can cure him."After that, Sebastian paid no more attention to his phone. Upon seeing his replies, Whitney was furious beyond measure!Back in the studio, she saw on the camera feed that Sebastian had gestured for the middle-aged man to take a seat. After briefly examining him, Sebastian looked at the staff member holding the microphone and asked calmly, "Can I speak now?""You're done?" The staff member was puzzled.Sebastian nodded. "Yes."The comments in the livestream went wild again."He's done?""He just took a glance, and he's done?""Does he really know how to treat people…""Haha, let us wait and see."In the studio, the host seized the opportunity to ask, "Ms. S
"Holy crap! He actually got it right! And not a single detail was wrong!""Oh my goodness! Is he a miracle doctor?""Weren't they saying he had no medical skills? What's going on now?"The audience went wild, flooding the comments with excitement. The most amusing part was that, half a minute later, the comments in the livestream were completely uncontrollable. The word "Dr. Ballard" filled the screen. In the studio, the host turned toward Whitney and Mabel, looking quite surprised. Whitney frowned, feeling a bit shaken but maintaining a composed demeanor. On the other hand, Mabel wore a look of astonishment. Clearly, she hadn't expected Sebastian to actually be accurate. This livestream was originally intended to ruin Sebastian's reputation, but it had unexpectedly elevated him to the status of a miraculous doctor."Impossible! This medical report must be fake!" Mabel shouted at the camera without caring for her image."Enough!" Whitney's face sank as she glared at Mabe
Upon hearing his words, everyone was stunned.The patient and his family were also staring at Sebastian in confusion."Is it really curable?" asked the patient.Sebastian nodded. "Trust me.""You brat, you'd better think about this properly. If you can't treat him, I'd get really mad!" The patient's son glared at Sebastian angrily.Sebastian just smiled back.The staff member immediately said, "Okay, let's connect with some experts from Callaway Hospital and hear their opinions."Soon, the call was made.Addressing the camera, the staff member asked, "Hello, Dr. Powell."In the conference room at Callaway Hospital, Dr. Powell glanced at the other experts and unequivocally said, "Hello, I'm also watching your livestream. I can clearly tell the viewers that this patient's condition is very unique and challenging." He added, "It's a complicated case and practically incurable. We can only manage the pain with medication to sustain basic living.""Understood. So, you're saying t
The livestream descended into chaos. Did the patient really hug Sebastian's legs? What on earth was happening here? The patient's son, bewildered, hastily pulled his father up and anxiously asked, "Dad, you aren't in pain anymore?""Not in pain, truly… Dr. Ballard's medical skills are just too incredible!" the patient exclaimed with joy. He added, "Dr. Ballard, you have no idea what those seven years were like for me. Constant check-ups, medication every day… And now, with just a few taps from you, the pain is gone."With that, the patient seized the microphone from the staff, glaring into the camera. "Dr. Powell, you are nothing but a mediocre doctor! All of you at Callaway Hospital are quacks!"This moment instantly set the livestream on fire! The audience of 150 thousand fell oddly silent. Subsequently, the comment section was flooded with comments of sheer astonishment."No way? It got cured just like that?""My god… Is he really a miraculous doctor?""This isn't ju
Mabel smirked coldly.The more arrogant Sebastian was now, the more humiliating it would be later on if he couldn't cure the patient.Noah was stunned. Anger coursed through him, and his chest started to heave. "What did you just say? We're mediocre doctors? You're the first ever to call us that in so many years! You brat, you'd better cure this patient by tonight, or I'll make sure you can't survive in the medical field!"Then, Noah hung up and glared at the screen with a red face.The experts present sharply rebuked Sebastian, but he remained calm and unafraid. The patient and the patient's son, however, looked at Sebastian with a different gaze.The son, who moments ago had an imposing presence, immediately knelt down. "Dr. Ballard, I beg you to help my dad! As long as you can cure my dad, I'll be your servant for the rest of my life."With that, the burly man knocked his head against the floor.In the livestream, positive comments flooded the chat."That guy is really a
The staff exclaimed in surprise. Meanwhile, the comments in the livestream were filled with admiration for Randall.Ignoring the reactions, Randall hurriedly approached Sebastian, lowering himself respectfully as he asked, "Mr. Ballard, do you really know Expalyrium?"Sebastian looked up at the elderly man and asked, "Who are you?"For a moment, the scene seemed frozen, and the livestream fell silent. However, after a brief pause, chaos erupted."What the heck! He doesn't know Mr. Randall?""Does this guy really know medicine? He doesn't recognize Mr. Randall?""Damn! He doesn't even recognize the authority in Steinberg's medical field. I wanna run over and tell him that's Mr. Randall Salvatore!"In the studio, Mabel chuckled and said, "He doesn't even know Mr. Randall but claims to know medicine and talks about Expalyrium. It's truly laughable. Ms. Sutton, have you seen Sebastian's true colors now?"Whitney frowned but remained silent.Noah and the other experts from Callaway
"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
