Sally and Crystal looked pleadingly at Whitney before running out of the convenience store, looking chastened.When Crystal and Sally had left, Sebastian walked out of Whitney's room with Larys, Vince, and the others."Sit down," Sebastian said to Larys and Vince as he pointed at the couch in the living room.After he was seated, Vince didn't wait for Sebastian to ask anything before he sighed and said, "Sebastian, we shouldn't have troubled you for this, but you're an expert in traditional medicine. Look at this photo."Vince took out a photo and handed it to him.There was a dried corpse in the photo, but based on what it was wearing, it wasn't a corpse from ancient times. It was wearing a modern school uniform. Judging from the height of the corpse, it was a young girl no older than 15. "Is this…" Sebastian frowned, trailing off. "Mr. Ballard, this girl went missing on the 8th. We thought she had run into some kind of pervert, and we were searching for her as a missing pers

Sebastian shook his head slightly. Even a witch doctor wouldn't be able to turn a living human being into a dried corpse within just two days, let alone a traditional medicine doctor.Sebastian had seen something like this before in Elton's home. There had been over 20 dried corpses there.However, those corpses hadn't had their internal organs removed. That meant that there were people capable of doing such a thing, but Elton had just been slightly less cruel.Or perhaps the internal organs hadn't held any value for him, while the organs were very valuable to the current murderer."I'm very sorry, but there is no such technique in traditional medicine. However, it does seem very similar to some of the corpse refining techniques found in the mystic sects. Elton Reynolds once used this kind of black magic as well," Sebastian said to Larys and Vince as he pointed at one of the photos. Vince glanced at the photo and looked as if he had been forced to swallow a bitter pill. He asked,

"Are… are there really… ghosts in this world?" Whitney asked, trembling.Sebastian laughed wryly and shook his head. He pulled Whitney over to him and said, "Actually, people are sometimes more frightening than ghosts. You're tired. Go and rest. I'll think of a solution and see if we can find Shannon."Whitney hesitated for a moment before getting up. She said, "Alright. I know I can't help, but if there's any news, please tell me as soon as possible."Sebastian nodded, and Whitney turned to return to her room.After she had gone, Sebastian turned to Lyanna and asked, "What were you talking about? Corpse-devouring ghosts?"Lyanna nodded heavily and said, "Corpse-devouring ghosts are a kind of revenant. They aren't hard to subdue for experts in yellow paper charms."Sebastian thought for a long time. He suddenly remembered a passage recorded in the Sacred Medicine Secret Annals.There was a kind of spiritual being that only ate human hearts. These spiritual beings weren't corpse-

Drew would never dare to offend someone whom even Harold, the mayor of Sunway, had to flatter."Mr. Tennyson, Vince mentioned that Mr. Ballard might have valuable insights into this case," Drew said in a carefully calibrated tone. He was only delivering Vince's will without adding any personal input, aiming to gauge the state's stance. "Oh?" Rufus Zenton, the state minister, was rather surprised.Earlier, he had called Belinda, hoping to enlist the Warrior League's assistance, but she had also recommended Sebastian to him.Rufus said firmly, "Very well. Tomorrow morning, your task force team will head to Steinberg and you will meet Mr. Ballard personally. Remember, Mr. Ballard will be leading this case, and you will personally assist him."Drew was startled. Sebastian would be in charge? What could a traditional medicine doctor possibly know about criminal investigation? Still, he dared not disobey Rufus. After all, Rufus had very strong connections. Even Tripp had only been ab

"Alright, alright. Let's just follow the orders from our superiors," Gerard said, turning to look at Sebastian and Whitney as they entered the office. There was a smug look on his face.Drew quickly introduced them to Sebastian. "Mr. Ballard, this is Officer Bellamy, the previous lead investigator. He's a criminal investigation instructor at the police academy and an experienced criminal investigator. He's been working with the state department in this field for more than 20 years."Gerard glanced arrogantly at Sebastian and inclined his head slightly. He didn't even stand up to greet him. As for Whitney, he barely even looked at her.Why would Sebastian have brought a woman here while working on such a big case? He didn't seem to be the right man for the job at all.Gerard was a famed criminal investigation expert throughout the whole of Sartvale, and he had been responsible for solving numerous high-profile cases.Even the crushed corpses case that had shocked the nation over te

Shouldn't Sebastian have tried to assure them and establish a good working relationship with them?None of the officers had expected him to be so aggressive as soon as he appeared. He had even told them all to leave!"Sebastian, we should probably tone it down," Whitney whispered. "After all, we'll need their help to find Shannon."Sebastian chuckled and said, "You want to rely on them? They won't find her even if they have ten years to do so!"The officers looked even more grim, especially Brody. He had never imagined that Sebastian would be so hostile to them when they were the experts in criminal investigation! He found himself at a loss for words."Hmph! Fine, I'll go! I'd like to see how you're going to solve this case!" Brody snapped, turning bright red with anger. He spun on his heel, ready to leave."Sit down!" Drew roared, slamming his hand on the table. "Which one among you is going to be bold enough to leave?"Brody jumped in fright, startled by Drew's outburst. The o

Sebastian didn't spare Gerard another glance. Turning to Whitney, he said gently, "Let's sit."Whitney's mind had gone blank. She could never have imagined that Sebastian would interact with the men from the state department in this manner.As Brody watched Sebastian lead Whitney by the hand to sit at the head of the table, he clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his palm. He said through gritted teeth, "Mr. Ballard, you've never even attended a criminal investigation class. What makes you think you can solve this case?""What makes me think so? It's because I'm Sebastian Ballard! I don't care how amazing you are or how many cases you've solved in the past. Right now, I'm in charge!" Sebastian said impassively.He turned to look at Gerard and asked, "Do you disagree? If so, tell me what leads you've found. Any lead at all would suffice."The room fell silent; the officers were dumbstruck. Any leads? They didn't even have the faintest inkling. They had no idea what

The photo was of a long-abandoned construction site that had two unfinished buildings on it. It was surrounded by barren mountains, which were covered in dense woods. Ordinarily, very few people went there.Gerard glanced at the photo and sneered. It was a photo of the site where a young woman had died tragically just four days ago.From a criminal investigation perspective, crime scenes like that were not worth investigating at all. It wasn't the place where the first crime had been committed, nor was it the place where the last crime had been committed.They would be able to glean the murderer's modus operandi at the first crime scene and compare it to subsequent cases. However, that was clearly not required for this particular case, as there would be no other way in which someone could turn people into dried corpses.As for the last crime scene, Gerard and the others had already scrutinized it at least 80 times. There were no leads at all, which was why they were all at a loss.

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!"
