Godfrey looked menacingly at Sebastian and said, "You don't have any proof for what you said! Proof! Can you show us the proof? How can you say that my Life Prolonging pill is useless? You won't be able to convince anyone with that one-sided statement."Sebastian laughed coldly. He pointed at the golden pill and asked, "Are you unhappy about the fact that I said it's a useless pill? Fine. Since you want to be humiliated in front of everyone, there's no reason for me to try and spare your dignity."Sebastian clasped his hands behind his back and began to explain himself in great detail."Firstly, there are only 21 medicinal herbs in the formula of a Life Prolonging pill, but you've put more than 100 medicinal herbs in this one, haven't you?"You think that this is a successful merging of the art of pill refining and that it can increase the rate of success for your pill, but you've forgotten something. The more types of medicines there are, the less refined their flavor will be. The
Sebastian said impassively, "I wouldn't dare to presume such a thing. However, at least my pills wouldn't hurt anyone."Godfrey looked even more grim. He clenched his teeth and said fiercely, "Fine! Very good! Since you're so confident, would you dare to come to the Fate Sect tomorrow at noon? I'll prepare everything you need, and we can talk about pills. What do you think?"Zane could no longer sit still. He hurried up and said to Sebastian in a low voice, "Mr. Ballard, you must not agree to his request. I think that Mr. Callahan must have something up his sleeve."Meet him at the Fate Sect? He was clearly planning on setting up a trap for Sebastian to murder him. They would be surrounded by the members of the Fate Sect if they went. Could Sebastian really escape unharmed? Even if Godfrey did not try to cause trouble for him, would the apprentices of the Fate Sect be lenient?Rosalie tugged gently at Sebastian's clothes and said in a small voice, "Sebastian, refuse him."Sebast
"Let's go home. It's not worth wasting time on a useless pill." Sebastian ignored Godfrey, who looked ready to shoot out fire from his eyes. He turned around and pulled Rosalie along with him as he strode outside.Cassian watched as Sebastian held his dream woman's arm and was about to be led out by him His chest heaved with anger, and he was trembling as he walked up to Godfrey and said, "Mr. Callahan, if you can help me deal with that young man tomorrow, I'll pay you an extra 200 million!" Cassian tossed his bank card to the staff member standing beside them.Zane saw that things were getting messy, so he got up quickly and followed Sebastian out of the venue. When they reached the entrance, he asked awkwardly, "Mr. Ballard, you aren't really going to go tomorrow, are you?"Sebastian nodded and said, "Of course I am. A man should always keep his word. Why wouldn't I go?""But—""There are no buts. It's not like the Fate Sect can eat me." Sebastian smiled at Zane. He pulled R
Meanwhile, at the Griffin estate in Sunway, Wyatt's phone suddenly rang twice. When he saw that it was a secret report, he immediately put his teacup down and began to scroll through his messages."Oh no!" Wyatt exclaimed. He handed the phone to Cillian and Oliver."There's a change in the Warrior League headquarters?" Cillian frowned, and a glint appeared in his eyes."It's not just the attitude of the Warrior League headquarters. Even the three top swordsmen of the Gladius Sect have come personally to support Ethan. That means that the Gladius Sect are making their stance clear to all the mystic martial arts sects," Wyatt said somberly. The Gladius sect was the founding sect of all the Nine Orders, Eighteen Principles and Thirty-Six Sects that focused on swords.Although they were not as distinguished as the Sacred Medicine Society, they were still very important among the mystic martial arts sects!The Gladius Sect wasn't a single sect. It represented the Warriors of a certai
"How dare the Warrior League try to control the candidate for the Martial Arts Association chairman for the state? You've already lost the hearts of everyone. Why are you still being so stubborn, Cillian?" the voice asked. Cillian's expression darkened at once. "Swordster, you know very well who is behind Sword Towers! Whether it's the Dragon Sect or the Sanguis Cult, they are all foreign powers. "They are the enemy of Dramon! You are publicly standing against the whole of Dramon! Aren't you afraid that you will end up losing your integrity?" Cillian demanded.Trafford Polene, known as Swordster, was one of the three top swordsmen of the Gladius Sect who had rushed to Sartvale. It was rumored that 15 years ago, he had already broken through the Celestial realm and attained the skill of a Martial Sage. Compared to the current standards for practitioners of the Way of Wisdom, the Swordster was also a top expert in the foundation phase.Someone as experienced as he was could not
Cillian thought that Sebastian saw the Nine Sects as just common sects, like Sword Towers, as he did not seem concerned at all."Sebastian, you may not know how powerful the Nine Sects are because you haven't had much experience in the world. They are the Nine Sects of the mystic martial arts sects, they're—" He was about to persuade Sebastian to give up on the martial battle when Sebastian cut him off and said, "Mr. Shields Senior, the Nine Sects aren't worth mentioning at all. Since they want to forget their roots, I won't mind teaching them a lesson again."Sebastian's expression remained impassive. Although he hadn't been trying to imply anything, Cillian, Wyatt, and Oliver all caught on to what he had said and frowned.Teach them a lesson again? What did Sebastian mean by that?The three old men looked at each other doubtfully.Sebastian was so young. Had he challenged the Nine Sects before?That was impossible! It couldn't be!If he had, why would Sebastian still be hi
Sebastian only recovered after a while. He refused quickly. "Mr. Shields Senior, I can't take such an expensive gift—""Take it!" Cillian didn't let him refuse. He looked stern as he clasped his hands behind his back and said, "This is the only thing that an old man like me can do."As long as that bunch of people from Sword Towers don't get their way, I'll be able to face the members of the Department of Defense."Remember, we must not lose the position of the chairman of the Sartvale Martial Arts Association. We can't let the Dragon Sect return either, or there will never be peace in Dramon!"Sebastian nodded heavily and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Shields Senior."Cillian and Wyatt nodded in satisfaction when they saw that Sebastian had put the crystal in his pocket.They all sat down once more and exchanged a few pleasantries before Oliver said to Rosalie, "Rosalie, it's getting late. Take Sebastian back to Steinberg and let him get ready.""Okay." Rosalie nodded
Ethan touched the Solispill that he had received and smiled coldly as he said, "Mr. Polene, I'll be honest with you. If Sebastian hadn't meddled in all this, we wouldn't have had to trouble you.""Oh?" Trafford raised an eyebrow and asked coldly, "Sebastian?"Ethan looked menacing as he said in a cold voice, "That's right. It's him! A few days ago, I met a woman with an ice disposition in Steinberg and was about to take her as my apprentice so that I could use her as a furnace for training, but Sebastian stepped in and snatched the woman away from me."When Ethan thought of Whitney's ice disposition, his eyes shone with greed. Women with that kind of disposition were very rare in the world.What was even more rare was how beautiful Whitney was. Even if she wasn't his furnace, she would be the perfect candidate to be his training partner.However, the appearance of Sebastian had made Ethan wary of approaching Whitney. After Terence's death, Ethan had been even more afraid of cove
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
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!"
