Chapter 1629

Author: Wendell Mayhew
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

    "Are you certain you want to make such an extreme choice?" Sebastian asked one last time. He wanted to see if Whitney would show any signs of reluctance.Unfortunately, he did not detect even a trace of hesitation in Whitney's expression."We're not right for each other. Let's just go in and finalize the divorce. I'll do my best to meet all of your demands. Even after we've gotten divorced, we can still remain friends," Whitney bit her lip and offered after thinking about it.They could remain friends, huh?Sebastian laughed at Whitney's response. Tears trickled out of the corner of his eyes.It turned out that despite being married for three years, the relationship had been entirely one-sided. He was the presumptuous one.In her eyes, he was merely a stepping stone."Fine. I'll go through with the divorce! I don't need your money, the car, or the house. I can support myself!" Sebastian stubbornly declared."You're going to support yourself with that little shop of yours where

    Whitney had just gotten out of the car when she heard what the young woman said to Sebastian. Her expression soured.Be it looks or physique, the gorgeous young woman was just as attractive as Whitney—and she drove a Ferrari.Whitney's chest tightened.When had Sebastian become acquainted with a woman like her?The young woman looked to be in her early 20s, which made her about five or six years younger than Whitney.Whitney immediately felt jealous.Mabel had gotten out of the car too. The sight before her made her frown."I'm sorry, but who are you?" Sebastian asked as he studied the young woman in front of him.She was a young and beautiful woman. Still, he had no idea who she was."Mr. Chester Sinclair recommended you to me, Dr. Ballard. My name is Rosalie Griffin. He said that you have the Goldcrow pill. It is the only thing that can save my grandfather. "My family, the Griffins, are willing to buy it from you for ten million dollars!" Rosalie pleaded tearfully."Chest

    Over in Rosalie's car, Sebastian had just found out who she was. She was a part of the Griffins of Janover.Sebastian's brows creased slightly. If not mistaken, the Griffins were the juggernauts of Janover. Every move they made could rock the entire city.If Whitney had been in the car as well, her jaw would have dropped in shock.The Griffins of Janover, the family she desperately wanted to form an association with, were seeking help from Sebastian, the useless man she'd just divorced.Soon, the car stopped outside a residential compound.Once they got out of the car, Rosalie hastily brought Sebastian into one of the bedrooms.A sickly old man lay on the bed. All the color had drained from his face. Even his lips were purplish. Every breath he took seemed to drag on forever. It was as if he were a dying candle flickering in the wind.A middle-aged man and a doctor stood beside the bed. Dressed in linen, the doctor was inserting acupuncture needles into Rosalie's grandfather, Ol

    Inside the bedroom, Levi turned to Jonah and said placatingly, "Sorry about that, Dr. Pike. My daughter is too naive. I'm sure she got fooled by someone. I'll give her a good scolding later. Please carry on with the treatment.""Alright," Jonah responded before swiftly placing the next needle.Once he placed the final needle, Oliver, who had been unconscious for many days, slowly opened his eyes."Dad, you're awake! How wonderful!"Levi was so emotional that his eyes grew red.The Griffin family had consulted all of the most famous doctors in the world to find someone who could treat Oliver. Alas, it was to no avail. In the end, they came to Steinberg and went to great lengths to get Jonah to come and take a look at Oliver."You are indeed the genius doctor of Steinberg, Dr. Pike. You were able to save my father from the throes of death! I have never seen anything like this before. From now on, you will forever be the Griffins' most honored guest," Levi declared as he swiftly e

    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

    The moment Sebastian reached the door to the convenience store, Sebastian heard the sound of women crying. He listened closely and realized that it was Sally and Crystal!Why had they come? "Whitney, you have to help me! I only have one daughter! If anything happens to her, I might as well die!""That's right! Shannon has been missing for three days, and there's no sign of her at all. The police officers are being vague, and your aunt has been trying to ask everyone she can for help. Nobody is paying her any attention. "Why don't you ask Sebastian to help and use his connections? He knows Chief Weist pretty well, doesn't he? It's just one phone call for him." Crystal's voice came from inside. When Lyanna and Nina saw Sebastian enter, they hurried up to him. Sebastian waved a hand at them and strode over to Whitney's room. He pushed the door open and walked in. At the sound of the door opening, Crystal and Sally both stopped crying and turned to look at Sebastian."Oh, it's

    Even a secular person like Zane couldn't have done what Branson and Kody had done. Sebastian's gaze swept over Branson and Kody. He said coldly, "If I didn't still have a use for you, I would kill you both today! Get lost!"As soon as he said that, the two swordsmen looked as if they had received great mercy. They thanked him profusely and turned to flee. The remaining Fate Sect apprentices were at a loss after losing their leader. They all knelt in front of Sebastian."Mr. Ballard, we are willing to guard this valley for you and follow your commands. Please have mercy and spare our lives," they all shouted loudly. Sebastian waved his hand and said, "You may all stand. This valley isn't anyone's, and I don't need you to guard it for me. However, before the sun sets tomorrow, you must transport all these medicinal herbs to Steinberg!"Sebastian wrote an address and handed it to one of the Fate Sect apprentices in the lead. "Once you've delivered the medicinal herbs, you'll be f

    Godfrey didn't dare to hesitate. He raised his sword quickly to defend himself. However, this time, Scarlet Cloud was unable to withstand the terrifying bolt of lightning, and it split in half.Godfrey spat out blood as he was assailed by the backlash from his weapon!He was filled with regret. If he hadn't insisted on battling Sebastian for the sake of his pride, he wouldn't have suffered such a defeat. Sebastian had given him a chance to turn over a new leaf. If he had accepted his defeat with good grace, Sebastian wouldn't necessarily have tried to kill him. However, he had made the choice to join forces with Branson and Kody to kill Sebastian. He no longer had any room for negotiation. When Godfrey looked up once more and stared into Sebastian's ice-cold eyes, he felt his heart jolt. It was the first time he had felt so close to death, as if he already had one foot in the grave. As everyone watched, Godfrey fell to his knees in front of Sebastian and begged, his voice t

    Sebastian curled his lips, and he flashed them a cool smile.According to the division of levels in the martial arts community, Martial Sages was the highest level one could attain, at least thus far.Although Branson and Kody were only at the third level of the Martial Sage realm, they were already terrifying entities among the mystic martial arts sects.However, that was just in comparison to others. If they were categorized according to the individual skills of practitioners, they were only two levels higher than Sebastian.They had the skills of someone at the second level of the foundation phase.However, the biggest difference between practitioners of the Way of Wisdom and Warriors was that Warriors could only use their body and their training in vital energy to attain a level of skill that surpassed that of ordinary people.Practitioners of the Way of Wisdom were different. Not only did they have formidable powers in battle, they also had the help of divine skills.Any pr
