The security guards at the door were shaking their heads and sighing. "Oh, what a pity for those two. Why did they have to offend Mr. Chastain?" one of the security guards said regretfully.The other security guard waved a hand and said, "They didn't offend him. They just kept tailing him. Isn't it practically a death wish for an ordinary guy to follow a martial arts practitioner?"He sighed in resignation.They had clearly witnessed what happened.Sebastian hurried up to them and asked, "What did you see just now?"The two security guards jumped in fright and hastily took two steps backward. They eyed Sebastian and said, "Young man, I advise you to mind your own business. Two have already been crippled, and you don't want to be the third one. You'd better leave quickly."The security guards were being kind in advising Sebastian to leave. They didn't want him to get beaten into a cripple by Romulus. The first two security guards had been much more well-built than Sebastian. How

"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

Before Sebastian could speak, Rose held her dagger and said icily, "They should not be forgiven!""Sebastian, before they left, I heard them mention the Irongate Sect and someone named Romulus Chastain. Did they come to get revenge on us?" Rosalie looked thoughtful as she recalled what had happened.Romulus? Sebastian inhaled slightly. Had the Irongate Sect come right to their door to fight? Did they have a death wish?"My lord, calm down. Once we get news, we'll make them pay with blood!" Lyanna said frostily. Sebastian turned to look at Lyanna. In the past, he might not have agreed to let her do so. After all, he hadn't intended to destroy the Irongate Sect. He had only killed Devin because he had no choice.However, the Irongate Sect had crossed the line with their actions that day. Even if Lyanna hadn't mentioned it, Sebastian wouldn't have forgiven Romulus and the rest."Seb, don't be impulsive! Romulus is no ordinary man. According to the information from the special force
When Sebastian cut off Gavin's clothes, he saw that there was a bloody hole in his armpit that was about the size of a thumb.He explored it gently with his finger and saw that the bloody hole went straight to Gavin's heart. No wonder it was bleeding relentlessly. Gavin's complexion was becoming paler by the second. It was a sign that he had lost too much blood already. Sebastian hastily took out two silver needles to staunch Gavin's bleeding. Although the external bleeding stopped, his internal organs had been injured. If they didn't get rid of the blood that was pooled inside, it would still be fatal. Sebastian quickly pulled out nine gold needles and used all his strength to use the Nine Revival Needles technique. He plunged the nine gold needles into nine of Gavin's major acupuncture points.Soon, Gavin's breathing evened out. However, he was still very pale, and his pulse was weakening."Hurry! Get me an energy replenishing pill!" Sebastian called urgently to Lyanna.
"Whew!" Sebastian finally exhaled deeply once Jarvis' corpse had fallen to the ground. If he hadn't had the Sky Devouring Bottle, he would probably have died at Jarvis' hand.The battle that day had rang alarm bells for Sebastian. He had to break through to the next realm as soon as possible. Otherwise, the consequences would be dire if he met a skilled mystic arts practitioner.That night, Sebastian took Rosalie and Whitney back to the Moonlyte Club. After giving Whitney a few energy replenishing pills, he left with Blake. When they stepped out of the Moonlyte Club, Blake's brow furrowed tightly, and he said, "Mr. Ballard, since the Fate Sect has close connections with the mystic sects and they don't know if Jarvis is dead or alive, they might send along another expert. "Honestly, I think you should lay low for a while to prevent anything unexpected from happening."Blake wasn't underestimating Sebastian. It was just that the difference between normal martial arts and the myst
Although he and Jarvis had only exchanged a few moves, Sebastian could feel an invisible pressure.Compared to the opponents he had met in the past, Jarvis was much, much stronger. He was also the only one who could combine the mystic and martial arts. He was a rare expert.Even someone as strong as Sebastian could feel his strength waning.There was a clang as Jarvis flicked his wrist and spun his sword, creating a dancing silver flower in the air. He turned the point of his sword once more, and it struck once again, moving so fast that the blur of movement looked like a falling sheet of silver that glittered like stars. There was another blast, and Sebastian hastily activated the Wind Phantom move so that he could move away in an instant for yet another 400 feet. Jarvis' blow only caught the shadow that Sebastian had left behind. Despite this, the sword split the earth, leaving a gaping crack that was several feet deep."Is that all the Sacred Medicine Society can do?" Jarv
Jarvis had no idea how Sebastian had resolved the Spiritkiller formation, but he was no fool. He could tell that his supposedly fatal formation had no effect on Sebastian at all.Since he couldn't kill Sebastian silently with his formation, he'd have to do it himself. In the blink of an eye, a figure soared through the air and crashed through the windows of the restaurant as swiftly as lightning. Finally, Sebastian put the Sky Devouring Bottle away and smiled widely as he looked at Jarvis. He said, "If I were you, I wouldn't have risked showing my face."He tipped out a large energy replenishing pill from the Sky Devouring Bottle and put it away. Jarvis was furious. Sebastian was using that terrifying cursed energy as a supplement."Sebastian! You deserve to die!" Jarvis shouted.The energy of an expert at the third level of the Eldoria realm rushed into the sky. The storm clouds in the sky that hadn't dispersed yet were blown aside by the terrifying energy.Sebastian's inno
Sebastian gave Rupert a pitying look and slowly raised the foot he had pressed against his shoulder. He smiled slightly and said, "You're free to go. The elevator is right over there."Rupert suddenly felt a weight lift from his body. The enormous force that had pressed down on him previously had disappeared in an instant, and a flicker of hope shone in his eyes. Without stopping to thank Sebastian, he scrambled up from the floor and ran in the direction of the elevator. A gust of evil wind suddenly swept over to him. Rupert had just put one leg forward when it was sliced clean off by the evil wind. "My leg! M-Mr. Ballard, please s-save me… I can give you money! I can give you a lot of money! Please help me stop the bleeding! Aargh!"Before he could finish speaking, there was another gust of evil wind that sliced his other leg in two. Soon, Rupert's and Huxley's corpses were cut up into mincemeat along with the others. Crimson blood soaked the entire floor. The restaurant w
A vicious look flashed momentarily in Rupert's eyes, but he pretended to look innocent and said, "Mr. Ballard, M-Mr. Duff was my only ally. Even he couldn't do… What other trick could I have? Mr. Ballard, I truly admire you. I'll never go against you for the rest of my life." Rupert groveled as he spoke.Sebastian looked down at Rupert, who looked meek and obedient. He sneered and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this entire building is the center of a formation, isn't it? The person who set this formation up is on the peak of the mountain opposite us, yes?"Rupert's heart sank. Had Sebastian noticed Jarvis? "Mr. Ballard, I—" "This was a good trap. But didn't he tell you that once a Spiritkiller formation is activated, every living spirit in it will be slaughtered?" Sebastian asked icily before Rupert could speak.Rupert looked up at Sebastian in disbelief. "Mr. Ballard, what do you mean? I… Why don't I understand?" Despite what he said, the panic on his face was evident.As soon as S
The most horrifying thing was that every single needle was coated with a deadly poison.Even if it so much as grazed the skin, it could kill at once. One could imagine how serious it would be to be pricked by such a needle.This was Huxley's real signature move. Even an expert at the fifth level of the Celestial realm would not be able to dodge the attack of the fine needles when they were packed so closely together.Blake could not help being shocked. He tried to help, but it was too late.They were much too close, and the needles were traveling very swiftly. Even if Belinda had been there, she could have done nothing except watch as Sebastian was pierced by the poisonous needles.Rosalie had gone pale with fright at the scene playing out before her. She covered her eyes instinctively with her hands, unable to watch. When Rosalie thought of how Sebastian was severely injured while trying to save her, tears spilled out of her eyes at once. If she could turn back time, she would
