As one of the eight main sects of Yutaria, the Northern Divine Swords could not tolerate the insults and slander of a young man who was barely out of puberty."I don't know who he is, and I'm not interested. If you want to fight, then hurry it up. I haven't even finished eating." Sebastian yawned impatiently.How cocky! He was being extremely arrogant!Wilfred's eyes were bulging with rage. He gritted his teeth as he stared at Sebastian. He was hoping that Sebastian would be chopped up into pieces by Ronaldo!Lexi's lips had turned purple with anger. Where did Sebastian get the confidence to brag like that?How could he be so cocky with Ronaldo? It was no wonder so many people wanted to kill him!"Young man, why don't you just admit your wrongdoings? That old Yutarian man seems pretty formidable!""Yeah, you should live to fight another day! We'll have plenty of opportunities to deal with him in the future. Just waiting for him to die will be an easy victory for you!""Young ma

She's offering 77.77 million and a publicly-listed company as a token of her sincerity!""Luisa Albright, the daughter of the premiere family in Caevon, would like to propose to Mr. Ballard. She's offering two statues of pure gold that weigh over 100 tons in total as a token of her sincerity!""Cora Sutcliffe, the daughter of the Duke of Southam from Draepolis, would like to propose to Mr. Ballard. She's offering ten foreign islands worth 10 billion as a token of her sincerity!"The courthouse in Steinberg was an unassuming building, but for some reason, it was unusually bustling and fraught with tension today!Luxury cars lined the street outside the courthouse, and beside them stood prominent figures who could rattle the fabric of society with just a snap of their fingers!There were individuals from financial oligarchies with hundreds of billions in net worths, underworld king
"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
The moment Sebastian's words rang out, the living room descended into silence.Not a single sound could be heard.Rosalie jumped to her feet. Blushing hard, she stared wide-eyed at Sebastian.She could not believe he had the audacity to ask Levi to get on his knees and beg.Levi's expression was unpleasant as well.But, his hesitation only lasted for a brief moment before he fell to his knees and pleaded with utmost sincerity, "Please save my father, Dr. Ballard."Sebastian set down his cup and remarked, "As expected of you, Mr. Griffin. You know when to yield. I'll do it. You may rise."He started walking toward the bedroom.Levi got back on his feet.Rosalie hurried over to him and asked, "Dad, you just—"Levi cut her off and said, "Don't say anything more. I was wrong earlier. It was only right for me to kneel."Then, his eyes flashed menacingly as he continued, "However, if he fails to do what he claims he can do, I'll make him pay!"Although Sebastian was further up, h
"You know your stuff after all. I'm surprised you're familiar with the soul revival technique," Sebastian remarked with a chuckle."I came across records of it in an ancient text by accident, Dr. Ballard. I never thought I'd get to witness it in person today. Please take me as your student, Dr. Ballard!" Jonah said once more.Feeling helpless, Sebastian had no choice but to agree. "Don't tell anyone else I'm your mentor, understood?""Yes, of course. I understand," Jonah said respectfully as he stood beside Sebastian.At that moment, Levi came forward. His mannerisms were respectful as he expressed, "Thank you for saving my father, Dr. Ballard. From today onward, we, the Griffins, will forever be indebted to you! "If you ever need anything, just say the word, and we'll do anything within our means to get it done!""You don't need to be so courteous with me, Mr. Griffin. It wasn't a big deal," Sebastian said."But, I do need your help with something. The Griffins are business ma

Caspian was actually very afraid. Although he did not know who Ronaldo was, even Wilfred was kneeling. One could imagine just how frightening Ronaldo must be.How could Sebastian still be chatting and laughing with Caspian as if nothing was happening?Lexi clenched her fists tightly. Even the Bachs had to kneel in front of Ronaldo. How could Sebastian speak to him in that tone?She wanted nothing more than for Ronaldo to kill Sebastian at once!"You're very cocky, young man!" Ronaldo narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Sebastian.However, he sensed that Sebastian was extremely dangerous—and the woman beside him felt just as threatening.Ronaldo even suspected that he would not be able to last more than one move from that woman!However, the young man's training was a mystery. No matter how much Ronaldo scrutinized him, Sebastian just seemed like an ordinary person who did not know any martial arts.His experience told him that people like that were usually the most dangerous
Wilfred fell to his knees in fear.He was not embarrassed to cower before this man. After all, he was Ronaldo!He was a legend from the Culter Sect of Yutaria. Less than 100 people in Dramon were his equals.He could kill Wilfred in less than ten moves. How could Wilfred not be afraid?Ronaldo walked out and pointed at the wide hall. "Get out here this instant!" "I'm coming! I'm coming!" Wilfred smiled widely and crawled out to the great hall. When Caspian saw how Wilfred was debasing himself, he scoffed and asked Lexi, "Is that how hot-blooded the Bachs are? That was truly eye-opening.""You don't know anything, Caspian! Mr. Baye is just adapting to the situation!" Lexi shrieked."Do all the Bachs crawl on the ground to adapt?" Sebastian laughed scornfully."You bastard! I'm going to tell Mr. Baye what the two of you said later. Just wait! You're both going to die!" Lexi rushed out of the room angrily.Outside, the onlookers hadn't dispersed. They were all watching the sho
"Hmph! You bastards are accomplices of those human traffickers! You deserve to die!" Wilfred strode over to one of the Yutarian youths and crushed three of his ribs with one foot. When Wilfred saw that the Yutarian youth had fainted from the pain, he went over smugly to the remaining youth and said, "If you don't want to end up like him, then kneel to me and apologize to the people of Dramon!"Wilfred looked righteous and felt a sense of accomplishment. Compared to Sebastian and Nina, he felt that he truly embodied what a Dramonian Warrior should be!"Idiot!" The Yutarian youths exploded in anger at once and swung their fists at Wilfred.They were no match for Wilfred at all, and both of them ended up on the floor in a puddle of their own blood.Several of the onlookers looked at Wilfred with gazes of admiration.Everyone hated human traffickers. Everyone had children, and no one wanted to have their child snatched away on the streets.These Yutarians were allegedly found to
The surrounding onlookers all gave Wilfred a thumbs-up."Good slap! They need to be taught a lesson!""Beat these dogs up, old man!""Yeah! This is the territory of Dramon!"The onlookers were all cheering Wilfred on, and he grinned smugly.He glanced disdainfully at Sebastian and the others, who were still sitting inside. Those cowardly young people weren't even brave enough to teach a few Yutarian youths a lesson! What an embarrassment to Dramon!"Ms. Bach, I don't think that Mr. Weller is suitable to be your husband. What a coward! I think that a weakling like him is only suited to hanging out with a milksop like Sebastian!" Wilfred's lip curled, and he sneered.Lexi had been annoyed with Caspian already. Sebastian was clearly ignoring her existence, and Caspian had simply let him do so!Now, a Dramonian was being bullied right here in their own country by Yutarians, but Sebastian hadn't made a single peep. If Caspian became her husband, how could she hold her head up high
Wilfred was just lucky that Nina hadn't had much of an appetite for the past few days. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have any bones left after what he had just said.Nina was spooning ice cream into her mouth. It was the first time she had eaten something so delicious.Although Nina had had a corporeal body before, she hadn't been able to eat at all. Even if she did eat, she couldn't taste anything.After using Sebastian's training technique, Nina could now eat and drink like a normal person. She just hadn't had the chance to taste all the delicious food in the world yet. "My lor—Sebastian, I never knew that ice cream tasted so good!" Nina said as she dug out a spoonful and fed to Sebastian.Sebastian could not let Nina refer to him as her lord when they were out, as it would make people misunderstand, so he had asked her to refer to him by his name. Sebastian tasted it and nodded. "Yes, this ice cream is pretty good."Nina giggled and said, "My saliva tastes good too."Sebasti
The energy replenishing pills were sold out as soon as they were released. The buyers would then resell it on the black market at prices that were two or even five times higher. That meant that any distributor who signed a contract with Rosalie would become the suppliers for these resellers.If such a high-quality energy replenishing pill could be put on Rainpure Group's shelves, it would make it a corporation with great influence in both cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.Caspian's hands were trembling with excitement, and he had no time to bother with Lexi at all.At that moment, there was a series of knocks on the door. Before Caspian could get up or ask anything, the door opened, and an old man walked in."Mr. Baye!" Lexi looked as if she had just seen her savior. She got up quickly to greet him.Wilfred Baye was one of the Bachs' guardsmen. "Ms. Bach." Wilfred bowed very politely to Lexi. Before Caspian gave him permission to do so, he pulled up a chair and sat down.Caspian
Lexi was from a family skilled in martial arts, and she was used to meeting prominent and influential figures. It didn't matter whether they were prominent figures in business or politics. They all had to show respect to the Bach family.While she was abroad, Lexi had seen for herself how strong the Warriors overseas were. Comparatively, a traditional medicine doctor like Sebastian seemed inconsequential to her. Caspian could just ask the Bachs for help if he wanted to become head of the Weller family. If the Bachs agreed, how could the Wellers possibly refuse?There was no need for Caspian to suck up to a traditional medicine doctor.Sebastian arrived at the private room at 8:00 pm on the dot. Caspian immediately got up to welcome him when he saw him. "Welcome, Mr. Ballard! I am honored to be able to have dinner with you!" he said, looking straight at Sebastian.Sebastian smiled lightly. "You're too kind, Mr. Weller. We're all friends here, and there's no need to be so for
Caspian wasn't hesitating because of the division of profits. He was simply calculating his ultimate gains. After half a minute, Caspian's eyes gleamed all of a sudden, and he said, "Deal!"Rosalie and Whitney were startled at first, but then they both broke into excited grins."Firstly, I'd like to clarify something. Our company doesn't focus solely on Sartvale. Sartvale and its surrounding states are the ones we focus on managing. We put our efforts into maintaining a chunk of the market in the whole country, not just in the state of Sartvale. So…"Caspian paused before continuing, "We may not be able to do what Grandase Group did within Sartvale, so your masks may not be in every mall and supermarket.""We understand. As long as you're sincere in collaborating with us, we can let go of the market share in Sartvale," Rosalie said excitedly.Just the thought of getting into the national market was exciting. Who wouldn't be willing to give up something small for something bigger
