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
"Superstitious practices?" Sebastian smiled faintly and said, "Continue the livestream. If anything happens, I'll take responsibility.""Um..." The staff hesitated and immediately sought guidance from their superiors. The leadership made a decisive decision to continue with the livestream! After all, the current engagement level was very high. Besides, with Randall Salvadore present, what was there to worry about?In the studio, Whitney couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when she saw what Sebastian was doing.Was he out of his mind? This was a live broadcast, and he was actually engaging in these superstitious practices!The host turned to Whitney and asked, "Ms. Sutton, what are your thoughts?"Whitney responded coldly, "I have no opinion. What he does is his own business."The host awkwardly chuckled.Noah and the others from Callaway Hospital burst into laughter."So, this is Expalyrium? Just a trick to deceive people with outdated superstitions.""Dr. Powell, it seems
Zane turned to look at the middle-aged, wealthy woman. He frowned and asked, "Who are you?""You don't need to bother about who I am, but is this how the Northmans run their business? I already reserved those bangles. What right do you have to give them to him?" the woman screamed shrilly."I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. Did you say that you're part of the upper class?" Sebastian asked, turning to glance at the middle-aged woman."Well? Are you going to break my legs too? Hmph, as if you're worthy of doing so!" The middle-aged woman glared coldly at Sebastian. She wasn't an ordinary person. A nobody like Zachary couldn't be compared with her. She didn't even think anything of offending the Northmans. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had the guts to question the situation when she already knew that Zane was the Northman heir. "Break your legs?" Sebastian shook his head slightly. That wasn't his style. Sebastian liked giving people a taste of their own medicine.
"You crazy bastard!" Zane's features were contorted with anger, and he slapped Zachary hard in the face.Zachary was startled by Zane's slap, and he clutched his face as he stared at the man in shock. "Zachary, if you want to die, do it yourself. You can go hang yourself, jump in the river, or jump onto the train tracks, but don't drag our family down with you!" Zane exclaimed as he delivered two more resounding slaps."M-Mr. Northman, I—"Zachary was utterly confused by Zane's slaps."What are you standing there for? Get lost!" Zane yelled furiously at the security guards. The security guards jumped in fright and ran out at once."Seb, you… I… I… This is negligence on my part. Please don't take it to heart."Zane was almost in tears."Of course I won't take it to heart. The actions of this individual have nothing to do with the Northmans. However, I can't just let the fact that he wanted to break my legs go. I hate it when people threaten me," Sebastian said with a stormy exp
Zane was startled. Sebastian was at his family's flagship store?He thought for a moment before suddenly remembering that his family had a jewelry store in Steinberg.Sebastian must be there."Seb, if there's anything you want to buy, just notify me," Zane said. "I'll deliver it to you myself. Why would you need to go over there?"Sebastian was a very important person, and Zane would do anything to flatter him. If Sebastian went to their store and some ignoramus offended him, it would cause a huge mess. "Oh, thank you for your kind thoughts, Mr. Northman," Sebastian said. Then, his tone purposely turned cold. "However, it seems that I'm not very welcome in your family's store.""What?"It was exactly what he had been worried about. Zane broke out in a cold sweat at once.Something similar had already happened once before, but Sebastian hadn't pursued the matter. However, if the same thing happened several times, Sebastian might start seeing the Northmans in a different light.
"Don't be angry, Whitney. She was a mistress before she was a prostitute, so she's speaking from experience," Sebastian said in a teasing tone.Whitney couldn't help bursting into laughter. She gave Sebastian a light punch on the shoulder. "I never realized how mean you were in the past!""Who the hell are you talking about?" The fat woman screamed shrilly as she pointed at Sebastian, her eyes bulging as she glared at him. "Is there anyone else here?" Sebastian sneered. "However, a man who could keep you around with money or spend money on you has questionable taste."The fat woman hated people calling her ugly. She wasn't actually ugly; she was just average.However, comparison was rarely flattering. When she stood next to Whitney, she immediately looked extraordinarily ugly. "Security! Get over here and toss these two beggars out!" the fat woman yelled angrily, pointing at Sebastian and Whitney.She turned to Zachary and demanded, "Are you the manager? Look at your store! Ho
"Mr. Zucker, these customers want to look at the emerald articles," the sales assistant explained hastily.Zachary Zucker, the store manager, clasped his hands behind his back and went up to Sebastian and Whitney. He looked them up and down and frowned. "Lola, you're a senior staff member here. Can't you judge people at all?" Zachary asked imperiously, looking grim. "These emerald articles cost at least tens of millions. Do you think that just anyone can afford them?"Noticing the anger on Zachary's face, Lola explained quickly. "Mr. Zucker, but—""But what? All of these articles are priceless. How can you take them out for just anyone? If they're damaged, who's going to take responsibility?" Zachary scolded."You're saying that I can't afford them, aren't you?" Sebastian glanced coldly at Zachary. He was never lenient toward people who were contemptuous of others. "Do I even need to say that when you look like that? The cheapest out of all of them are the bangles, which cost 1
Sebastian patted Whitney's hand gently to reassure her."Come with me," the sales assistant said. She led them through a pair of moon gates and entered a smaller exhibition hall.There were all kinds of emerald jewelry and pendants under bulletproof glass. There were carved statuettes of gods, as well as round emerald pendants and emerald plates.They were all made of AAA-quality emerald, and any of them would cost at least two million dollars.Most wealthy businessmen who came to the exhibition hall just wanted to browse. There were very few who actually spent money to buy them.It was partly because wealthy businessmen didn't know anything about emeralds, and they only bought emerald articles as a way to follow trends and appear elegant. On the other hand, spending two million to buy an emerald pendant just to toy with it sounded absurdly extravagant.Although the emerald articles were clearly of higher quality than those in the hall outside, there was still no sign of divine e
Sebastian had been planning on telling Whitney about what had happened last night, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do so. "No particular reason. You've just been working so hard lately, and I want to give you a little gift. Well? Do you have time?" Sebastian asked impassively.Whitney was delighted. Had Sebastian had a change of heart?She immediately answered, "Okay, wait for me at the convenience store. I'll get ready and be there in half an hour."Although she had said that it would take half an hour, she arrived at the convenience store entrance in less than 20 minutes.Sebastian told the rest of them briefly about where he was going before he grabbed a jacket and got into the car."Sebastian, when are you going to stop looking this unkempt?" Whitney asked, smiling wryly when she saw that Sebastian was wearing a trench coat that he had bought several years ago. With Sebastian's current fortune, it would've been nothing for him to go around laden with jewelry
Whitney had been under a lot of pressure lately. On the one hand, she was very busy with the expansion of the pharmaceutical factory, and she had to do everything on her own. On the other, watching Rosalie and Sebastian act lovey-dovey with each other every day was also a form of torture to Whitney."I trust you. No matter what happens and when it happens, I'll still trust you," Rosalie said earnestly as she looked into Sebastian's eyes. Sebastian nodded. He stretched and said, "It's getting late. You and Whitney should get some rest. I've got to go back to the convenience store.""It's so late. Don't go. Why don't I sleep with you?" Rosalie winked at him.Sebastian glanced down at Rosalie's enormous chest. The problem was that time waited for no man. Sebastian had to think of a plan before the Sapientia members came to get revenge. Otherwise, any neglect on his part could result in a huge mistake. He wouldn't allow himself to commit such an unforgivable mistake. "No, I've g
Phineas watched Sebastian and the others leave, feeling anxious. His features were twisted into a frown. Ezekiel and Keanu were both dead. This was extremely big news!Besides, it had taken place in Steinberg, which was under Phineas' jurisdiction. If the Martial Arts Court asked about it…Phineas didn't dare to pursue his train of thought further. This wouldn't do! How could he bear the storm of anger that was sure to come?Therefore, he said quickly to the chauffeur, "Hurry! Go to Ventus Estate."Phineas immediately headed to Ventus Estate and asked to see Belinda. When he told her about everything that had happened that night, even Belinda's brow furrowed tightly. Ezekiel's death didn't matter, as Belinda could smooth things over with just a word. The problem was that Keanu was one of the apprentices of the three major elders in the Sapientia. Sebastian being responsible for his murder was equivalent to making himself the enemy of the Sapientia. Even Belinda didn't have mu
