"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
Whitney hesitated momentarily before replying, "Thank you." "No need to thank me," Sebastian said indifferently.Upset, Theresa stood up arrogantly. "Sebastian, what's with this attitude? If it wasn't for you coming forward, would things have escalated like this?" she asked, blaming him for the trouble. He frowned and felt that she was being unreasonable. He retorted, "I noticed you seem to have eyes on the back of your head! Didn't I just save you two?""Who asked you to save me? You're just sticking your nose into other people's business!" Theresa replied coldly. Rosalie couldn't stand it anymore and said, "If he hadn't come forward, Benjamin would've taken away both you and Ms. Sutton!"Did you not see what type of man he is? I'm surprised you two could even stand here with no harm, yet you still accused Mr. Ballard of sticking his nose into other people's business!"When Theresa saw Rosalie standing up for Sebastian, she raised an eyebrow. She asked annoyedly, "What does
When they saw that Whitney was okay, they let out a sigh of relief."Ms. Sutton, you're okay? That's great! How was the incident resolved? I heard that Mr. Lautner was there. Did he do anything to you two?" Mabel asked nervously.Whitney shook her head. "We're fine…"Mabel replied immediately with a smile, "It must be thanks to Mr. Cobb! As soon as he came, he called someone to contact Mr. Lautner to put a good word in."When Fergus heard her words, he pretended to be modest and replied, "Oh, Ms. Lucero, it was nothing. As long as Whitney is okay."However, Whitney and Theresa both frowned and looked at them. "Called someone?" Theresa asked.Fergus faked a cough, then with a smile, he said with certainty, "Yes, I have a friend who knows Mr. Lautner. I just asked them to call him."With those words, he looked at Whitney, waiting for her to praise him. Instead, she rolled her eyes coldly and turned around to enter the car.Fergus was confused. This wasn't how he thought it woul
In the courtyard of Howard's villa, more than a dozen bodyguards brought back from Janover stood guard. When Sebastian got out of the car, he went straight to Howard's room and saw him lying on the bed, pale-faced and weak.He looked like he was in a coma. Sebastian frowned and went up to him. Silver needles in his hand flashed, hovering midair before piercing Howard's chest one by one. Sebastian's spiritual energy flowed from his body into Howard through the silver needles. After a moment, Howard's eyes flung open. He took a deep breath and shivered. When he saw Sebastian before him, he trembled and sat up. He exclaimed, "Thank you… for saving my life, Dr. Ballard!" Sebastian removed his needles and frowned. He asked, "How did this happen? Didn't I give you a charm for protection?"Howard shook his head and clutched his chest, gasping. "It was all my fault. I slipped when I was taking a bath earlier. I hit my head, and blood stained the charm. Then I passed out."With that,
Sebastian remained indifferent, with no fear on his face. Beside him, Rosalie was the same, calm and composed. "Oh, there's three of them! Looks like we'll have to charge extra!"The two figures stepped forward, mocking and sneering. Their faces were twisted into an evil smile. The shorter figure laid his eyes on Rosalie and smirked perversely."There's a beauty here too. This mission is great! Just enough for the two of us to enjoy."The taller figure looked straight at Howard. His eyes were cold. "Mr. Tuffin, today is the day you die. Are you going to kill yourself, or do we have to do it?"None of them paid any attention to Sebastian throughout the whole exchange. They were extremely arrogant. Howard panicked, looking at Sebastian reluctantly.The shorter guy sneered. "Mr. Tuffin, there's no need to look. No one can save you today!"Sebastian calmly placed his cup down and said, "Is that so? What if I want to save him?"The two finally acknowledge Sebastian with cold eyes.
But in the next second, they only saw Sebastian lifting his hand up indifferently. He had grabbed the assassin's wrist! He barely even moved!The courtyard suddenly fell silent. The atmosphere had turned solemn. "What is going on!" The tall man was shocked and glanced around in a panic. No matter how much he used his strength, he couldn't move the dagger at all!Suddenly, Sebastian mockingly chuckled. "Is this all the strength of the Twin Killers of Zuebonia?""You! You're just looking to die!" As soon as he heard Sebastian's words, he was furious. He raised his foot and kicked the side of Sebastian's head!There was a cracking sound, and even the surrounding tables and chairs shook under the power of his kick! His kick exerted the force of at least a thousand pounds! Even an adult bull's skull would shatter under the power, let alone Sebastian, a human being! "With such ruthless power, it seems the only thing I can do is to eliminate the threat to others," Sebastian said col
With that strength, at the very least, he trained under a martial arts expert! Why would someone with such prowess reside in the small town of Steinberg? When did Howard get such a formidable expert by his side?"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is, who sent you?" Sebastian asked him, his voice cold and condescending.Sabre chuckled coldly and replied, "Just go ahead and kill me. I won't betray my employer.""I see." Sebastian thought for a moment before looking at Howard and asked, "Mr. Tuffin, would you like to interrogate him, or should I?""Dr. Ballard, I don't want to trouble you with this. My people will do it," Howard replied quickly.Sebastian nodded. Howard made a call and seven to eight bodyguards rushed in from outside. The assassin, who was lying in his pool of blood, was dragged down the hall. Sebastian quickly took care of the guards' injuries. After everything was settled, Howard kept thanking him."Thank you, Dr. Ballard. Thank you for saving my life t
Tony's face darkened when he looked at the dead body on the ground. He said coldly, "Mr. Mitchell, I hope you won't disappoint me again."Wesley replied heartlessly, "Don't worry, Mr. Wright. I will personally kill him this time! Howard Tuffin won't be the only one dying tonight. The man who killed my disciple must die too!"…Sebastian went straight back to the small shop after leaving the courtyard. To his surprise, a Porsche 718 was parked outside the store. Behind the car was a woman standing with her hands on her hips.Her hair was tied in a ponytail, and she had a cold air around him. She was extremely captivating under the moonlight.Sebastian got out of his car and took a few steps when the woman walked over. "Dr. Ballard."He furrowed his brow and turned to look. It was Lorelai. What was she doing here?"Do you need something?" Sebastian asked calmly. Lorelai was about to speak but glanced at Rosalie beside him and immediately frowned. She was a very beautiful woman,
"It's a good thing I was here tonight. You may not be so lucky next time," Lyanna said. She got up to leave, but Rosalie rose hurriedly and called after her, "Wait!""Is there anything else?" Lyanna turned her head slightly and fixed her beautiful eyes on Rosalie."What kind of person is Sebastian? I mean…" After Lyanna had told her who she was, Rosalie felt as if her thoughts were in turmoil. Even Sebastian, whom she had always loved and admired, had suddenly become unfamiliar to her.If Sebastian had just been a traditional medicine doctor, she could have accepted it. However, now Sebastian was keeping a female spirit around him. Not only that, the spirit was his servant. This was beyond the scope of Rosalie's understanding. Sebastian was rapidly becoming like a riddle to her."Have you heard of sages? Mr. Ballard is probably like them," Lyanna said. In a flash, she had disappeared without a trace.Rosalie remained quiet for a long time before she started the engine once mor
The short, fat man who had smashed up Rosalie's car window tossed his rock aside and hurried over. His eyes were bulging as he looked greedily at the beautiful woman standing in front of them. She was just as pretty as Rosalie was."Boss, I deserve some credit for the work I've done, don't I? Can you give me this chick?" the short, fat man asked, rubbing his hands together as he licked his lips.Lyanna looked at Chet and the short, fat man. She covered her mouth and giggled as she said, "I don't know what kind of day it is, but I do know that next year, this will be your death anniversary! Which of you wants to die first?""I… Huh?" Chet had been about to lunge forward and grab Lyanna, but then he realized what she had said.It would be their death anniversary on this day next year? What did that mean?Before he could recover his senses, Lyanna tittered and nodded. "Alright, you'll die first."She flicked her sleeve aside and revealed her slender, pale hands. Her foot-long, brigh
When Chet and the lackeys looked more closely, they saw that the car parked in the distance was a personal car and that there was a gorgeous woman sitting inside it.They were delighted at their good fortune. This was an opportunity they could not miss!As they were in such a remote area, they barely ever saw any women, let alone a beautiful one like Rosalie.Therefore, Chet gave the order, and the thugs all surged forward. They were barely able to contain their excitement."Hello, beautiful. What has upset you so much at this late hour? Tell us about it. Even if we can't make you happy, you can make us happy!" The short, fat man in the lead reached out to pull Rosalie's car door open as he spoke.Rosalie was beside herself with fear. She hastily locked the car and pulled her phone out of her bag as she screamed loudly at the men outside her car. "What do you want? Stay away from my car, or… or I'll call the police!"The fat, short man glanced at Rosalie, who looked frightened an
Sebastian heard Rosalie sobbing behind him. He turned around abruptly, but Rosalie rushed over to him and slapped him in the face before he could explain."Sebastian! I rushed over here as soon as I heard that something had happened in Steinberg! You… You're a jerk!" Rosalie was weeping. She had been planning on telling Sebastian on the day of the martial arts battle about the good news of the huge order that Arctic Snow Group had received from Lorcan. However, while eavesdropping on a conversation between Oliver and Belinda, she found out about the huge commotion over in Steinberg.When she heard that all eight of the Celestial realm experts that the Warrior League had sent to protect Whitney had all been killed and that the latter had disappeared, Rosalie couldn't contain her anxiety.She had rushed back to Steinberg at once.When she found no sign of Sebastian at the Moonlyte Club, she had come to the convenience store instead.She saw that it was lit up and had run straight
Hank and Taylor broke out into a cold sweat when they saw what had happened. Terence was like a god to them!Who would have thought that Terence, who had had the upper hand just a moment ago, would have stood vacantly on the spot just because Sebastian had thrust the rusty bronze mirror at him? He had just stood still and waited for Sebastian to come and kill him!"Run, hurry!" Before he could think too much about it, Taylor growled in a low voice and turned to flee to the foot of the mountain.Hank only came to his senses when Taylor was already far away from him. He was about to go after him, but he had only gone a few steps when a ghostly, feminine figure appeared and blocked his path."You—" The moment Hank turned, his soul almost left his body from fright at what he saw.Only a moment had passed since Terence's murder, but the eerie woman in front of him had already cut off more than a dozen heads. Whenever she cut a head off, dark energy would be sucked into her emerald
Terence wielded his sword. Wherever the blade pointed, the air was sliced apart instantly!Sebastian forced himself to concentrate and raised his sword to shield his chest!There was a clang as Terence's sword crashed down on Sebastian's, and sparks flew up at once. Sebastian couldn't help but take a few steps back. He felt the energy roiling inside him and almost spat out a mouthful of blood."My lord!" Nina felt extremely anxious when she saw that Sebastian was at a disadvantage. She ignored Sebastian's previous command and leaped over to him to hold him up. "My lord, are you alright?" Nina asked in concern. Sebastian was slightly flushed, and he looked as if his energy was becoming erratic. He shook his head slightly and pushed Nina away. He handed Whitney to her and said, "Protect Whitney well. If anything happens to her, come and see me with your head!" Nina turned to Rose, who was beside her. She wanted to protest, but Sebastian waved a hand and said, "Lyanna was hur
"It's a pity that you'll never understand," Sebastian said.Terence's face flushed. Who would've expected a young man in his twenties like Sebastian to be so perceptive? He was even more advanced than Terence in the Way of Wisdom!"My lord, I was trapped in the front yard just now. No matter how I walked, I couldn't get through the door. That's why…" Lyanna trailed off and hung her head, looking shamefaced.Technically, she was a spirit. How had she fallen prey to the Bewitchment spell? Even Lyanna was puzzled."It's the Soulbell!" Sebastian turned abruptly to look at Terence.Lyanna felt that she couldn't have been trapped by the Bewitchment spell because she didn't actually have a body. Meanwhile, Nina was a thousand-year-old snake deity, and ordinary formations couldn't contain her at all.Therefore, there was only one possibility. Terence had external help. The Soulbell was the only possible explanation.Nina and Rose arrived as well."Protect Whitney," Sebastian said befor
Sebastian eyed the middle-aged man and laughed coldly. "You surprised me too. Do you want to be a sacrifice for my sword?"Sebastian gently shook Purity, which he was holding. Immediately, it felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck the entire yard!Hank and the others began mocking him at once. "Ballard, you are bold out of ignorance. Do you know who is standing in front of you? Let me tell you, it's the seventh elder of Sword Towers, Mr. Manderly."One of them added, "Consider it an honor for you to be killed by Mr. Manderly."Sebastian raised an eyebrow and squinted at Terence as he said, "If I'm guessing correctly, Nina and the others must have fallen into your trap. That's why they haven't arrived yet. Right?""You're observant!" Terence smiled faintly and said, "If you hadn't stepped into Draconem Cathedral right before I did, you would be stuck in a Bewitchment trap, just like them."Honestly, it's a miracle for someone of your age to have this level of training. However,
While Taylor stood there, stunned, Sebastian bore down on him. Upon seeing Sebastian raising his fist to hit him once more, Taylor hastily pulled himself together and met Sebastian's punch with his own."Are… Are you all stupid?" Blood was seeping out of the back of Taylor's hand as he looked at the people behind him."You've always liked fighting alone, Taylor. We were afraid that we would spoil your fun." Despite what Hank said, he turned on his heel and sent a spinning kick at Sebastian to block his path.Sebastian felt a strong force rushing toward him, and he immediately stopped in the midst of pursuing Taylor. He moved aside and aimed a roundhouse kick at Hank. Yet another wave of energy exploded, and fear flashed across Hank's face. The blow had seemed plain, but it embodied the mysterious principles of martial arts.Even an expert who was two levels higher than Hank would have had his bones broken by that kick, let alone someone who was only at the first level of the Ce
