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 smoked a cigarette on his couch in his shop. His mind was going a mile a minute, but he was particularly hung up on the scene of Whitney publicly apologizing to him."I've never wanted to be your competitor," he muttered under his breath.Now that the situation had been settled, everyone had left. Before Randall left, he invited Sebastian to his house as he was interested in Expalyrium.Then, the patient and his family thanked him and left in high spirits.The last to leave were Joseph and his students. However, they made sure to mention that they would be staying in Steinberg for a while to consult him on martial arts and Shastia.Now that everyone had left, the shop was quiet, and Sebastian was left to sit alone.The livestream just now was gratifying since anyone who had offended him had to eat their own words, but Sebastian didn't feel satisfied at all.Eventually, Sebastian got up to roll down the blinds, but he caught sight of a car outside of his shop.Whitne
Whitney rushed to Theresa when she saw her friend had been hit and asked worriedly, "Theresa, are you alright?"Theresa sat up and gingerly touched her cheek, and there was also blood at the corner of her mouth.Whitney hurriedly took out a tissue and passed it to Theresa for her to wipe the blood from her mouth.Whitney then got to her feet and glared at the men who leered at them both. "I am Whitney Sutton of Frostwave Corporation! If you keep acting like this, I'm going to call the police!"This was a bar, and Whitney knew there would only be more trouble for them if they stayed there any longer. As such, she could only threaten them with her identity and the police.However, Benjamin was not even the slightest bit phased. With his hand still on his head, he flashed her a wicked smile before he said, "Frostwave Corporation? Never heard of it. Also, the police? Go ahead and call them! I would love to see if they can come faster than I can fuck you up!" Benjamin laughed befor
"Goddamnit! Turn the music off!" Benjamin howled as he angrily kicked a few of his men when they failed to move fast enough.His men scrambled to their feet and rushed to turn on the lights in the bar and turn off the music as well.With the lights fully on, the young men and women in the bar who had been enjoying themselves finally saw Benjamin's blood-soaked head, and they scrambled away to hide in terror at the bloody sight.Benjamin's piercing gaze scanned the crowd, but no one seemed to stand out as the perpetrator."Fuck! Coward! Show yourself! Who threw that ashtray?" he yelled.What he got in response instead were multiple beer bottles that flew straight at his men.The men that were hit were knocked down immediately, and they knelt on the floor as they let out anguished moans.The strength and accuracy with which the bottles were thrown were terrifying, and everyone in the bar was stunned.However, this only angered Benjamin more, and he roared, "Show yourself!"Just
Whitney glared at him as she snapped, "I don't need you to save me! You're only making things worse!"After that, Whitney helped Benjamin to his feet as she asked, "Mr. Lautner, are you alright?"Benjamin shoved Whitney away, and with his hand still on his head, he glared at Sebastian before he growled, "You maniac! You must be the only person brave enough to hit me!"He continued, shouting, "Do you know who I work for? The third son of the Whitaker family, Marcus Whitaker! I swear you're going to die today if it's the last thing I do!"Whitney, Theresa, and the others were shell shocked by that revelation. None of them expected Benjamin to say that he works for Marcus Whitaker!This was the Whitakers he was talking about!Marcus was Nathan's favorite grandson and one of the most powerful men in the Steinberg entertainment industry!As such, because of his grandfather, Marcus lived a very comfortable life in Steinberg and got anything he wanted.Even Hans, who held immense powe
Piles of tattooed and muscular bodies were lying on the bar floor.Benjamin had been thoroughly shocked as he watched Sebastian throw punch after punch at the speed of light. With not a lot of men left, Benjamin dashed behind Whitney and pressed the dagger in his hand at her throat."Stop! Keep moving, and I'll kill her!" Benjamin warned.Whitney was trembling in fear. The dagger had nicked her neck as well, and she was bleeding.Theresa was frantic now that Whitney was bleeding, and she screeched, "Sebastian! Look what you've done! If anything happens to Whitney, I will never forgive you!"Sebastian frowned and kicked away one of the men in front of him before he turned to glare coldly at a furious Benjamin."Let her go," he commanded.Benjamin scoffed. "Let her go? Kid, I admit you've got some skills, but do you really think you can get away with this? You want me to let her go? Sure! If you break your knees and kneel before me as an apology, then I'll let her go!"Sebastia
The bar descended into a dead silence at the man's arrival. He was clearly not a person to be messed with!Benjamin got to his feet and rushed to the man as he cradled his broken arm."Mr. Whitaker! You're finally here! This kid was causing trouble and hurt a bunch of my men and even broke my arm! You have to teach him a lesson!" he cried.Everyone present was shell shocked."So he's Marcus Whitaker?""Oh no, that kid is doomed.""He offended Mr. Whitaker. He's practically dead."The crowd whispered amongst themselves as they shot Sebastian gleeful and sympathetic looks.Marcus was Nathan Whitaker's favorite grandson!He was practically the head of Steinberg's entertainment industry!All he needed to do was snap his fingers, and the entire entertainment industry would descend into chaos!So, hurting his men was basically a death sentence.Marcus glanced at Benjamin's arm, then at the men's bodies scattered across the bar, and he frowned.He took off his sunglasses and turn
"What did you say?" Whitney demanded as she turned her head to glare at him in disbelief.Cause more trouble? Didn't he realize that he was the one causing trouble for her?Stupid Sebastian! She stuck her head out for him, yet he said she was making things worse."What do you mean? Explain yourself!" Whitney huffed.Sebastian simply pulled Whitney behind him without another word and faced the bodyguards.There was a whoosh as the bodyguards took action and swung the baton right at Sebastian's head.Sebastian's gaze darkened, and he was just about to fight back when suddenly, a delicate woman's voice came from the entryway."Stop!" the voice commanded.The crowd turned to the source of the voice and saw that it belonged to a woman in a red suit with her hair down.She wore a pair of black high heels, accentuating her height and figure. Her facial features were also delicate and elegant, and she looked extremely regal as she stalked into the bar."Miss…" the two bodyguards mu
When Whitney saw the files on the table, she picked up a few and flipped through them. She asked, "Why are all these cases related to martial arts practitioners? There's even a case of assault by the Skywest Martial Arts Gym. What's going on with that?" She looked at Sebastian in confusion. Shouldn't the files be stored at Police Headquarters?Sebastian pulled her down next to him and smiled. "These cases need to be resolved."Whitney curled her lip and said, "Ha! You want to resolve these cases? They're from the martial arts community. How are you going to do that? You can't even arrest these people, let alone interrogate them. You want to resolve the cases? Forget it."Zane poured tea for Rosalie and Whitney while smiling. He said, "Whitney, the head director of Steinberg Martial Arts Court said that all of these cases will be accounted for within three days. That's why Chief Weist sent the files over.""Oh." Whitney nodded. Rosalie's brow furrowed in slight surprise. "Is tha
Phineas found the request rather difficult.It wasn't that he couldn't afford to offend those people. It was just that three days was much too short.In the past two weeks alone, the martial arts community had already committed numerous cases. He couldn't even count how many there had been."Mr. Ballard, I think that the time period given is a little short. There are over 1,000 cases within three days, and we don't have enough people at the Martial Arts Court," Phineas said, looking glum.Sebastian's brow wrinkled slightly. It was obvious how atrocious the behavior of the martial arts community was. Even their head director couldn't count how many crimes they had committed."That's your problem, Mr. Tuxley. I'll agree to fight against Jules when you've sorted out these cases," Sebastian said firmly.Phineas sighed inwardly. Wasn't this setting him a challenge? However, he had to solve it no matter what."Mr. Ballard, I'll take my leave. I'll give you a satisfactory answer within
Phineas spoke with his brow furrowed, but Sebastian just looked coldly at him. Even if Jules wasn't coming, the martial arts community had never shown any kind of mercy to ordinary citizens."Mr. Ballard, I know that there are a lot of bad apples among the martial arts community, and there are many people who assault the citizens. However, we're still Dramonians. We wouldn't do it for no reason."They're from Southia. Do you think they'll show mercy to our fellow countrymen? Think about the humiliation Dramon has undergone in the past century." Phineas even squeezed out a few crocodile tears.He had been unable to move Sebastian with what he had said earlier, but the last part of his sentence touched Sebastian's heart. He couldn't allow the humiliation of Dramon to repeat itself today.Phineas wasn't completely unreasonable. Although some members of the martial arts community could be a little harsh, the majority of them were still good people.They were bossy and domineering, but
"Thank you, Ms. Griffin. I apologize to both of you as a representative of the Martial Arts Court for what happened today. As for the death of Romulus, he deserved it! The Martial Arts Court will not pursue the matter with Mr. Ballard, and we'll even award him!" After that, Phineas hastily left the Moonlyte Club and rushed straight to Sebastian's convenience store.Half an hour later, he respectfully pushed open the door to the convenience store and stood there reverently. He spoke in a small voice to Rose, who was standing there. "Is Mr. Ballard here?""Who are you?" Rose asked, looking coldly at him.Phineas hastily plastered on a smile and said, "I'm the head director of the Steinberg Martial Arts Court, and my name is Phineas Tuxley. I came here especially to see Mr. Ballard.""Mr. Ballard is inside. Please wait a moment," Rose said. She turned and walked away from the counter before going into one of the rooms. She said softly, "Mr. Ballard, someone called Phineas Tuxley i
"Mr. Tuxley, do as I told you to, and Sebastian is sure to agree," Alaric said, smiling sinisterly."I hope so." Phineas walked out of the room, looking extremely displeased. He had come all the way there and still ended up having to take care of the issue.Phineas became angrier the more he thought about it. He almost crashed into the glass doors at the entrance to the club because he was distracted."Be careful, Mr. Tuxley!" One of the deacons who had come with him hastily pushed the glass door open.Phineas glanced at the transparent glass door and said to the pretty young woman at the reception, "Tell your boss to change this door! Damn it, if that glass door is still here the next time I come, I'll wreck your club!"Phineas got into his car, looking extremely menacing.The two deacons followed him cautiously. Phineas was clearly in a terrible mood. Anyone who provoked his anger would be sure to get very unlucky."Mr. Tuxley, where should we drive to?" the driver asked tenta
Alaric glared viciously at Phineas. How was he supposed to know?"Since Sebastian was the one who made this mess, then he should do something for the martial arts community to make up for his mistakes. It's his fault for killing Emil, after all!" Alaric said thoughtfully. If Sebastian hadn't defeated Sword Towers and hindered the overseas Dragon Sect's grand plan to return to Dramon, why would Jules have suddenly sent a warning to the Dramon martial arts community?He had even specifically mentioned Sebastian and challenged him. The best solution right now would be to persuade Sebastian to accept Jules' challenge.If Sebastian won, he would be helping the martial arts community to get rid of danger. If he lost, Jules wouldn't allow him to stay alive.If so, Alaric would just need to report the news to Sapientia. Sapientia wasn't going to hold a grudge against a dead person, after all. Alaric might even benefit from it. He thought for a long time and finally came up with a pla
Phineas pushed the door open, looking sinister. The moment he walked in, he turned his head aside quickly.A well-built, middle-aged man was lying on a massage bed. He was naked and had four or five masseuses with him.Phineas was the head director. He couldn't just ignore such a crude scene. How did Alaric get all that energy? He was using up so much, but he didn't look tired at all."Well, if it isn't Mr. Tuxley! It seems you have the time to come and see me today. Are you here to have some fun as well?" Alaric asked. He sat up and wrapped a towel around his waist. Phineas covered half his face and turned his head to say, "Mr. Donnelly, Romulus was killed by Sebastian at Scentia an hour ago. Other victims include two of his apprentices and 18 other followers. None of them were spared.""What did you say?" Alaric shot up from his seat in shock when he heard the news.Romulus wasn't as agile as Alaric, but he was the true pillar of the Fury Scimitars. After all, he had the s
Romulus was the left sentinel of the Irongate Sect and was very influential. He was also the apprentice of Peak Three in Sapientia's Cesum Court. Many sect leaders in the martial arts community showed respect to Romulus, so it went without saying the same would happen in a small place like Steinberg. When the news of Romulus' death reached the Martial Arts Court, even the head director wet his pants in fear.Even though he hated Romulus, he should have died anywhere but in Steinberg! If Sapientia started asking questions, how was he going to answer?"Who killed Romulus?" A middle-aged, stern-looking man in a white robe slammed the table angrily in the Martial Arts Court as he spoke. He was the head director of the Steinberg Martial Arts Court, Phineas Tuxley. He was also a top expert at the ninth level of the Celestial realm.Although the Martial Arts Association had undergone a lot of changes recently, Phineas hadn't bothered to get involved in any of them.After all, the Ma
Romulus could sense that Sebastian wasn't someone he could fight against. He seemed to remember seeing the sword in Sebastian's hand once at Mount Wandale's headquarters. However, wasn't Purity the treasure of Wandale? Why would it be with Sebastian?"It's your turn now. Once you go to hell, teach them how to be a good person!" Sebastian said coldly.Romulus hastily threw his sword aside and bowed to Sebastian. "Mr. Ballard, I am also a martial arts apprentice. I only joined the Irongate Sect over a decade ago. Please let me go as a fellow practitioner."Romulus could only pretend that he was an apprentice of Wandale to try and make Sebastian relent.Wandale was the most prestigious and one of the founding members of the Nine Sects. Sebastian couldn't harm him and risk offending the Nine Sects, after all.It was Romulus' last hope. He knew better than anyone that he was sure to die in Sebastian's hands if they continued to fight."Which sect you're from has nothing to do with m
