That afternoon, news of Rainpure Group signing a cooperative agreement with Arctic Snow Group and Frostwave Corporation spread all throughout Sartvale's business world.Rupert angrily crushed the wine glass he was holding when he heard the news."Mr. Lannister, what should we do? Rainpure Group is a large company that has great influence in the entire country. They even have the Dunhills as their supporters. We can't stand against them," the butler said, holding a copy of the city's evening news and looking troubled.Astro International could cut off all the sales channels for Arctic Snow Group and Frostwave Corporation with a single word. However, Rupert had no power over Rainpure Group. The Lannisters were insignificant compared to the Wellers, who had much more influence when it came to their wealth and connections."Hmph! I refuse to believe that we can't deal with Sebastian! Get my car ready!" Rupert growled through clenched teeth."Mr. Lannister, where are you planning to
How much had Sebastian kept hidden from Whitney?"Why are you two looking at me? I met Mr. Weller through the two of you. Besides, haven't you heard the saying that gold will always glitter?"People will always have an eye on good products. I hear that Rainpure Group is a national corporation, so I'm sure that our production volume will grow in leaps and bounds. We may experience a lot of pressure in terms of manufacturing," Sebastian reminded them. "Oh!" Whitney was shocked. She shot to her feet and said, "I almost forgot to tell Mr. Harley to expand production!"She and Rosalie had clearly defined tasks. Whitney had always been in charge of the pharmaceutical factory.Luckily, Sebastian had reminded them at just the right moment. Otherwise, there would have been trouble when Rainpure Group started urging them for their goods a month from now!Whitney picked up her sling bag and rushed out of the office.After Whitney had left, Rosalie walked over to Sebastian and clasped her
"It's someone called Rupert. He came to see the vice chairman, Huxley, today. He intends to use the power of the Martial Arts Association to exert pressure on you. I came over as soon as I received the news," Blake said truthfully. Sebastian frowned slightly. Wasn't Rupert the richest man in Sunway that Leopold had brought him to see?He had no grudge against him, but Rupert kept trying to cause trouble for him. What irritated Sebastian even more was that Rupert had even tried to target Rosalie and Whitney. "Interesting." Sebastian laughed coldly, and there was a cold gleam in his eyes. "Mr. Ballard, should I—"Sebastian waved a hand and shook his head. "There's no need for that. I'd like to see what other tricks Rupert has up his sleeve."Since Rupert kept provoking him, Sebastian was not going to show mercy to him or the rest of the Lannister family. They would simply cease to exist. After chatting casually to Sebastian for a while, Blake got up and left. …That afterno
Cassian looked up with a pleading look on his face. He begged tearfully. "Mr. Ballard, I know I was wrong! It's all my fault. I shouldn't have trusted that liar, Mr. Callahan, and I shouldn't have slandered you."Please, save my grandfather! You can punish me however you want." Cassian knelt in front of Sebastian and groveled to him.After returning to Sunway from Pill Valley, Perseus' condition had gotten progressively worse. Even the best hospital in Sunway had pronounced a death sentence for him.The Windsors had all been flustered when they heard the news. They had only managed to maintain their position as a second-rate family in Draepolis because of Perseus. If anything happened to him, the Windsor fortune would soon be devoured whole by the other families.Not only that, the families that had once been oppressed by the Windsors would get their revenge on them several times over.The survival of the entire Windsor family hinged on whether Perseus lived or died. While t
"The Ballards?" Darrell could not help looking at Sebastian in surprise.He stared at Sebastian for a long time before gasping. "You're… Samson Ballard's son?"Darrell had only asked because he could see a resemblance. Was Sebastian the illegitimate son that had been kicked out of the Ballard family seven years ago?"I don't want to hear that name again! I just want to know how the Ballards have been doing recently," Sebastian said harshly.Darrell took a deep breath. He shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Ballard, the Windsors and the Ballards used to interact frequently, but we haven't been in contact for the past few years."I know very little about the Ballards' current situation. All I know is that Madam Ballard isn't the one in power anymore. It's now the second in line, Hubert Ballard."Mr. Ballard, you may have misunderstood your father's intentions back then. Of course, I'm not trying to make excuses for Samson. It's just that there are some things that may not be w
Darrell thanked Sebastian profusely as he accepted the golden pill. He bowed another three more times to Sebastian in a show of gratitude before leaving. Darrell walked out of the convenience store, looking delighted. He left with Cassian at once. Rosalie asked curiously, "Sebastian, what did you two talk about just now? Why did Mr. Windsor take Cassian with him?"Sebastian smiled and said, "We were just talking about the past. I don't need to personally go to Mr. Windsor Senior to save him. Once he takes that golden pill, he'll recover within less than three hours."Sebastian changed the subject and asked, "Are the Windsors also planning to develop their business in Steinberg?"Rosalie burst into laughter. She nodded and said, "It's all because of the new anti-cancer drug that you and the Northmans developed together."I don't know where the Windsors heard the news, but even Mr. Windsor Senior found out about it. The Windsors used the Wonder Pill Gala as a reason for almost ev
When Damian sensed the icy look in Sebastian's eyes, he involuntarily took two steps back and smiled stiffly. "Mr. Ballard, please don't misunderstand. M-Mr. Lannister sincerely wants to resolve the misunderstanding between you. That's why he reserved the best room in Eastern Hotel."Sebastian picked up the invitation card and flipped through it casually. He scoffed. "I guess you're saying that Mr. Lannister is being sincere?""Indeed, Mr. Ballard. Mr. Lannister is wholly sincere, just as you've said. Mr. Lannister also heard that the products of Arctic Snow Group are selling very well all over the country. He is interested in becoming a shareholder." Damian smiled and bowed as he explained.Sebastian waved a hand and laughed softly. "Okay. Go and tell Rupert that I'll be there on time."Damian nodded, then asked in a rather embarrassed manner, "Um… Ms. Sutton and Ms. Griffin…""Don't worry. They won't be the only ones going. The two people out front will go as well." Sebastian po
The Fate Sect was a martial arts sect, but they had withdrawn from society for many years. They rarely had any dealings with the outside world. Jarvis had only gone to see Rupert because he did not want Sebastian's death to cause trouble for the Fate Sect."Don't worry, Mr. Wendham. It's just a life. Leave it to me."After they finished their discussion, Rupert made a trip to the headquarters of the Martial Arts Association and presented them with a lavish gift.When Huxley saw the centurion roots in the gift boxes, he smiled smugly. "Mr. Lannister, you're much too generous. I can't accept such lavish gifts!"Despite what he said, he had already put the gift boxes away unabashedly.Rupert smiled coldly and said, "Mr. Duff, if we can kill Sebastian and take those two bitches alive, I'll have more rewards for you!"Huxley was startled to hear this. He asked curiously, "Mr. Lannister, I didn't think you were interested in drinking and women. Why are you suddenly so interested in wom
Sebastian nodded slightly. Yorrick had probably killed the young man because the latter was proficient in mystic spells and was already on the brink of the threshold. That could be the only reason for Yorrick's senseless deedThere were some people who couldn't bear seeing people who were stronger than them, which was why they made their move before their opponent could grow and develop."Are you really going to concede three moves to me, old man?" Sebastian stepped forward, grinning."Of course!" Yorrick answered, staring arrogantly at him.He still hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary with Sebastian, so he assumed that Sebastian was just an ordinary guy. He had probably only been able to defeat so many experts—including Egbert—because he had used some kind of trick. Egbert had lost because he had fallen into Sebastian's trap, not because of the latter's skills. That was why Egbert ended up suffering from the backlash of the ghost he had nurtured and lost his powers."I'll
"Young man, you're so cruel. Have you ever thought of the consequences of your actions?" Yorrick asked. He put his hands behind his back as he walked slowly toward Sebastian. Sebastian eyed Yorrick, whose training was at least on the same level as Egbert's. Besides, what he had studied was also a kind of spell. He and Sebastian specialized in the same study.The moment Yorrick got angry, Sebastian had sensed the faint power of Dainist principles from him."No blows are kind, and neither are harsh words! Why do you people feel that others should meekly allow you to beat them up? When your people are injured, you immediately think of it as the other party's mistake! That doesn't make any sense!" Sebastian answered coldly."Mr. Irving, kill that asshole!" Kayden said viciously. He was still clutching his crotch with one hand while he pointed at Sebastian with his other hand. Beside them, Jayden said defiantly, "Mr. Irving, you must not let this guy go! He's ruthless and extremely
Huh? Egbert frowned involuntarily. He had never felt that way before. What was going on? There was a loud blast, and the gigantic statue suddenly appeared out of thin air. At the same time, Egbert suddenly felt his blood churning inside him, and he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.He was about to turn and run when a black bolt of light hit him in the back. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew through the air like a broken kite. "Oh! Are you actually a sadist, old man?" Sebastian asked, smiling.Before Egbert could scramble up again, yet another bolt of dark light flew toward him."Damn it!"Egbert could no longer be conscious of his image and dignity. He swore at once. The dark light was aimed at his energy reserve. If he was hit, his decades of training would be completely ruined. However, he had plenty of life experience and had been through many such situations. When he saw the dark light flying toward him, he rolled across the floor like a bal
The dark shadow stretched out a large hand toward Nina. It appeared to be planning on tearing off her clothes. "Die?" Nina burst into laughter. How dare a ghost who was only around 300 years old talk to her about dying? As the smile stiffened on Nina's face, she bared her teeth, revealing fangs. Her scarlet eyes looked up impassively at the dark shadow above her head. "Aargh!" When the gigantic, dark shadow saw Nina's true form, it turned to try and escape, but it was too close to her that it was impossible for it to do so.It had only taken one step backward before Nina reached out and yanked it back."Have mercy, my lady!" The giant shadow disappeared and became a dark and scrawny-looking ghost that was less than five feet tall. "How dare you disrupt my dreams? You deserve to disintegrate into nothing!"Nina raised her hand and pressed down on top of the dark and scrawny ghost's head. "No!"The dark and scrawny ghost fell to its knees with a thump before Nina and sa
The Sacred Medicine Secret Annals also contained mystic spells from the Demon Sect. However, it was clearly written that those who practiced them would suffer divine punishment if they were to excel in it!Those were very heavy words indeed. How evil did those spells have to be if they would bring down divine punishment on those who excelled in practicing them?"Hmph! Stop trying to act as if you're smart in front of me. Have you ever seen such amazing spells? Believe it or not, I can kill your entire family with a click of my fingers?"There was a sinister tinge to Egbert's smile. With ordinary people, Egbert would only have to send out a thought to kill the entire family of his opponent instantly.However, Sebastian was being very dismissive of him. Evil spells like those required the supernatural spirit behind Egbert to sense the opponent's energy, after which they would use the same energy to find their family members.The process wasn't as mysterious as Egbert made it out
Those deceptive tricks appeared impressive, but those who Egbert healed would only end up in an even worse state, suffering even more."I haven't committed any crimes. How can I accept my punishment?" Sebastian asked disinterestedly.Brayden sneered. "You're not the one who decides whether you've committed a crime or not. Come! Subdue this defiant man!"Subdue Sebastian? Who would dare to do such a thing?The law enforcement hall members exchanged looks.Upon seeing this, Egbert stepped forward and said arrogantly, "Young man, you've seen what I can do. Compared to me, you martial arts practitioners aren't worthy of mention at all. I'll be lenient on you because you're young and ignorant. Just give up and come quietly!"Egbert was different from ordinary deacons in the Martial Arts Court. He had been hired specially as a mystic spells expert.When compared with mystic spells or cultivation, so-called martial arts weren't worthy of mention at all.That was because all mystic spe
Brayden sneered. "Kill you and cover this up? You overestimate yourselves. This is an act of protecting officials!" The bare fact of the matter was that they were going to kill everyone who knew about the Berkeleys' depraved acts. Once they had done so, the Berkeleys' perfect image would be restored. "Do you think that it's reasonable and lawful for Kayden to act the way he does?" Sebastian asked in a cold, accusing voice. "There's no helping it. Those in power must have some privileges. That's an accepted fact in the world. It's your fault for not being part of this class of people. If you're going to blame anyone, blame yourselves for being born in the wrong family!" Brayden said smugly as he shot Egbert Galen a glance. Egbert strode over to Kayden and crouched down to inspect his injuries. He tapped him with a finger. "Aargh!" The pain made huge beads of sweat drip down Kayden's face."Alright. You can stand up and take a few steps, Mr. Kayden!" Egbert said, putting his
"Oh?" Brayden glanced twice at Sebastian before asking, "What crime has Mr. Kayden committed? Tell me!" Sebastian couldn't be bothered to argue with him and just played the phone recording. The two old men frowned involuntarily when they finished listening to it."You're Inspector Jefferson, aren't you? I'd like to ask you how anyone could want to sleep with a bride at a wedding banquet in front of thousands of guests. Is he an animal? Don't the Berkeleys do this sort of thing in private?"Does this mean that when someone in the Berkeley family gets married, any of the guests or even a mere passerby can have their way with the bride in front of all their friends and family?"Javier turned red, then pale as he listened. He pointed at Sebastian and cursed him loudly. "You bastard! Stop talking nonsense!""Inspector Jefferson, since you admire Mr. Kayden's genes so much, why don't you let him improve your family's gene pool as well? You should especially let Mr. Kayden help out wi
Two black-clad men came up to the car door and opened it for Brayden, who then got out of the car. As he alighted, two elderly men also got out of the black car behind him. They came up beside Brayden and said, "Inspector Jefferson!" Brayden clasped his hands behind his back and nodded as he said, "Mr. Galen, Mr. Irving. Come and get rid of this nuisance with me today. Remember, we must not show any mercy!" The two old men nodded slightly and said, "We'll do as you say, Inspector Jefferson!"Brayden nodded slightly and said to Jayden, "Lead the way!" Jayden hastily gestured for them to go ahead. He led them happily into the Aequor.He had fled the hotel just a while ago, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to have transformed into a different person. He walked into the hotel with his chest puffed up, and his entire demeanor had changed. The attendants on the first floor looked at him in surprise. "Did that handsome young guy go and get himself an invigorating shot of so
