"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
Noah frantically yelled at his phone, "Impossible! That's impossible! What form of trickery is this?"Randall huffed coldly as he roared at the phone, "Are you questioning my authority, Dr. Powell?" Noah was taken aback momentarily but quickly came back to his senses."No… of course not…" he stammered."That's what I thought," Randall said coldly before he continued, "I remember that you made a bet with Sebastian before this. Isn't it time for you to fulfill your end of the bet?"Noah froze, and his expression twisted."Don't tell me you're going back on your word, Dr. Powell," Randall said frostily. Then, he declared to everyone, "I'm going to use this livestream opportunity to make it clear to everyone that Sebastian's Expalyrium is not a trick!"Randall paused to take a breath before he continued, "Sebastian's medicinal skills are comparable to the professionals working at Callaway Hospital! So, I'm going to make sure that everyone who made a bet with Sebastian just now fu
Sebastian laughed wryly and shook his head at Nina's words. "Nina, you're staying behind so everyone thinks I'm still here. Rowan and Arran will stay here with you so that no one will become suspicious!"Nina frowned. "But I'll be worried about you being with Unus. It's still just a beast whose rational capabilities aren't fully developed yet. What if it—"Sebastian smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry. Hugo has subdued them completely already, so nothing unexpected will happen. Honestly, there isn't much in Boren that worries me. However, if the Yome Sect enters Steinberg while its defenses are down, we'll be put in a difficult position."Though reluctant, Nina finally agreed.That night, Sebastian quietly brought Unus out with him. As soon as he walked out of the hotel doors, two thugs hiding at the side of the road who had been watching them stealthily immediately reported his movements to Anton."Are you sure it was Sebastian?" Anton demanded sharply."Positive! He looks e
"Kneel!" Joaquin yelled at Anton the moment he entered the room.Anton immediately dropped to his knees with a loud thud in front of Sebastian."My lord, my son is worthless. Everything that happened before was his doing. He has been a disgrace to our family. Please have mercy on his crimes," Joaquin said. He looked up at Sebastian and was puzzled to see how terrible his complexion was.Nina had been injured the day before, so why was it now the other way around? She had a rosy complexion, while Sebastian looked as white as a sheet."Alright. The important thing is to learn from one's mistakes and change. Don't forget the oath that you made. If you break it, I won't have to punish you. The law of heaven will act accordingly!" Sebastian said coldly."Yes, of course! I would never dare to break the oath! But…" Joaquin looked at Sebastian with a troubled expression.Sebastian frowned slightly and asked, "But what?""I can see that you don't look very well, my lord. Should I prepa
After resting for the whole night, Nina's complexion had almost returned to normal. Even the wounds on her body had almost healed.In stark contrast, Sebastian looked worse than ever.It was the aftereffect of losing too much blood essence. If it wasn't for the fact that he had the legacy of the Sacred Medicine Society, he might have already been half-dead. Even so, Sebastian felt weaker than he had ever felt before. His legs felt like jelly, and he was unsteady on his feet."My lord…"Rowan blanched with fear when he saw Sebastian. Sebastian was as pale as a sheet. Even his lips had lost all color."My lord, how did you get into this state?" Rowan asked, clearly confused. Sebastian had seemed fine when they returned to Mount Klane the night before. Waving his hand slightly, Sebastian replied, "I'm fine. I'll get better after some rest. Why are you up so early?"Rowan grew even more worried after hearing how frail Sebastian sounded."My lord, did you get severely injured o
As the car started, the two burly men kept close behind it.Rowan looked back at them from time to time and saw that the two burly men were keeping a fixed distance from the car. He couldn't help gasping.Weren't they walking inhumanly fast?"My lord, they—"Rowan pointed at the two burly men behind them."Don't ask about things that you shouldn't ask about," Sebastian said, looking down at Nina, who was still in a coma.He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her complexion was becoming rosy once more.After arriving back in Mount Klane, Sebastian checked into a five-star hotel at Joaquin's insistence. Once he had settled Nina in, Sebastian called the two Devora to his room."Do you have names?" he asked.The two Devora shook their heads slightly. Like Hugo had said, they had been born of Dragon Energy, and they caught beasts in the mountains for food every day. Why would they have names?"Well, you've got to give me a way to differentiate between you, right? You even
Arran and Rowan asked in confusion, "Aren't we going to look for the Ballard Estate anymore, my lord?"Sebastian turned to look at Arran. "We'll die before we reach the Ballard Estate!"Arran didn't know how powerful Nina was, but Rowan knew better than anyone that Nina was a top expert. If even she had gotten severely injured, Rowan and Arran would have no chance of entering Mount Quiln at all."Arran, trust in Mr. Ballard. Leaving Mount Quiln is the right thing to do!" Rowan said. He held Joaquin safely and asked Sebastian, "What do we do with him, my lord?"Sebastian turned to look at Joaquin. He said impassively, "Joaquin, I should execute you on the spot!"Joaquin immediately knelt and groveled. "Mr. Ballard, I'm willing to be your servant too. Please, if you don't kill me, you can tell me to do anything!""I don't have to kill you, but you mustn't let anything about what happened tonight leak out. Otherwise, I'll kill your entire family!" Sebastian said coldly.Joaquin s
"Do you think it's worth losing all your training to save her? Aren't you afraid of dying?" Hugo couldn't help asking bluntly. Sebastian smiled slightly. "I'm scared! However, she only got into this state because she was trying to save me. How could I just abandon her? We may just be master and servant, but our fates are related!"Hugo couldn't help shaking his head. "Young man, I can only save you this time. As we move forward, I may have trouble even protecting myself. Therefore, take these two items and go home!" Hugo reached out with one hand and dropped the Devora in front of Sebastian. He had been tortured half to death.The Devora was panting heavily. Although he understood that Hugo couldn't kill him, the endless torture was worse than death."Bite the tip of your tongue and wipe the blood on his brow!" Hugo instructed blandly.Sebastian held Nina up with one hand and did as Hugo had said. "Now say, the servant dies with the master, and heaven and earth bear witness!"
In less than a minute, the Devora was sent flying over ten times. The strange thing was that no matter how many times he was sent flying or how hard the impact was, he didn't bleed at all. Sebastian was secretly shocked. "Do you know why you were defeated so badly?" Hugo tapped his finger again as he spoke.Sebastian shook his head. Before that day, he hadn't even known what a Devora was. How could he possibly know why he had failed so badly? It must just be a question of skill!"How bold of you. You didn't even know the history of a Devora, and yet you dared to enter the mountain?" Hugo laughed wryly."Aren't Devoras one of the nine sons of the dragon?" Sebastian asked, looking up. Hugo spat disdainfully and asked, "Who told you that? Roveras are one of the dragon's sons, but Devoras aren't!"As he spoke, Hugo tossed a blood-red pill out and said, "Let her eat it. Use your blood essence and this pill to save her."Sebastian was startled. How could he obtain his blood esse
"A Devora? Oh no!" Samson suddenly returned to his senses. He almost rushed out through the gates, but then flames roared up around him. A wall of fire that was several hundred feet high blocked his path! Samson was Sebastian's father. After being imprisoned in the house over ten years ago, Samson had become cut off from the world. He had thought that he would never be able to see his wife and son again. Getting news of Sebastian once more was very unexpected!However, Sebastian had come across the Devoras. He was almost certainly going to die!In Samson's anxiety, he had even forgotten the Fyre Spell that had been set up around the house, which was why he had run right into the spell center and triggered the Fyre!Samson felt extremely anxious as he looked at the Fyre Spell, but he was unable to take even half a step out. "Hugo!" Samson roared at the Fyre Spell.As he shouted, an old man in long, white robes slowly materialized out of nowhere. "Well? Have you thought thi
"Indigo Thunder Shield!" Sebastian chanted under his breath as he used all his strength. A purple flash of lightning appeared around Sebastian. There was a blast as the punch landed heavily on his body. It felt like a falling meteor as it clashed with the indigo lightning! A loud sound boomed in the area, like a mountain exploding, and Sebastian flew backward.The burly man felt equally uncomfortable. The indigo lightning had shocked him so much that his legs had gone numb. "How many other tricks do you have up your sleeve?" The Devora stood up straight and advanced on Sebastian, who was lying on the ground!…In the mountains, in the backyard of the Ballard Estate, Andreas was holding a tablet and pointing at Sebastian and Nina on the screen. They were both throwing up blood and lying on the ground. He said to Whitney, "Whitney, I am not against you fasting, but—"Andreas grinned and asked, "Can you really bear watching Sebastian and that thousand-year-old snake deity ju
