"Mr. Jenkins, I believe we should try to minimize the issue. Let's not seal up the building for now and allow him to conduct a self-inspection, or let Sebastian cooperate with your investigation first," Whitney said.She added, "You know better than anyone that sealing a business on the day it opens will have a bad impact."The reason Whitney was going through all this trouble was because Sebastian saved her at the bar last night. She didn't want to owe him any favors. Otherwise, she wouldn't have even batted an eye.Wallace frowned and glanced at Fergus, who winked at him. He immediately understood the silent message.He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Sutton. But I must lock the building today! Whether there's a misunderstanding or not, we'll figure it out after the investigation.""Mr. Jenkins…" Whitney felt anxious. However, Wallace completely ignored her. He turned to Sebastian and said coldly, "Sebastian, right? I'm officially announcing that your company has to b
Sebastian chuckled and said, "Whoever it is, you would know better than I do."This statement made Whitney enraged! "Sebastian, you scumbag!" she cursed him.Mabel rushed over, accusing him, "Sebastian, you're really disgusting and disappointing! How dare you suspect Ms. Sutton? She's trying so hard to help you. Have you lost all sense of decency?"Upon hearing her rebuttal, his eyes grew cold. He said in annoyance, "Who would be the least hopeful for me to start a company? Do I need to spell it out?""You… you're really thinking the worst of her!" Mabel scolded him.Sebastian couldn't be bothered to argue with them and turned away. Whitney's chest was heaving with anger, and her eyes were full of tears.She glared at him hatefully. "Sebastian, is this how you see me in your heart? Do you think I don't want you to start a company?" "Isn't that it?" Sebastian retorted. His tone was exactly the same as Whitney's earlier.She chuckled dryly—her laugh sounded bitter. "Okay, now
"I can let anyone open a company, even if they're an idiot! If I want to shut down someone's company, even if he was the biggest company in Steinberg, I can shut them down easily!"Fergus immediately flattered him, "That's right, Mr. Jenkins has the authority in Steinberg Pharma! Sebastian, if you dare hit me again and provoke Mr. Jenkins, let me tell you, you're done!"He added, "You'll never remove the barrier tape from your company! Of course, if you kneel and publicly beg us for mercy, we might consider letting you off the hook."Sebastian chuckled and said, "Then let's wait and see." With that, he took out his phone.When Wallace saw that, he sneered and said disdainfully, "What, you want to make a call to pull some strings? Let me tell you, it wouldn't work! No matter who you try to reach, they'll all redirect you to me!"He continued, "If you don't kneel and beg for mercy today, the building will be sealed off until you die!"As he finished speaking, Rosalie smiled fain
Upon hearing the angry shout, Wallace shuddered and quickly turned to look. When he saw Zeke walking over angrily, he felt a shiver down his spine.He rushed forward and said humbly, "Mr. Fisher, why are you here?"With a loud smack, Zeke slapped Wallace in the face. He scolded him, "You still have the nerve to ask why I came? What did you just say? It would be useless even if I came?"Zeke was furious! Wallace actually dared to seal off Sebastian's company! Wasn't he just causing trouble?Wallace covered his face, explaining aggrievedly, "Mr. Fisher, I… I misspoke in the heat of the moment. I hope you won't take offense. It's all because of this kid! He provoked me!"With another loud smack, Zeke slapped him again. He yelled angrily, "You insolent fool! How dare you address Dr. Ballard like that?"This time, Wallace was dumbfounded. What was going on? Who was Dr. Ballard? He watched as Zeke hurried over to Sebastian. He politely apologized, "Dr. Ballard, I'm really sorry. I di
Wallace trembled and frowned as he looked at Sebastian. Wallace inwardly cursed Sebastian and all his future generations but squeezed out a smile and said, "Mr. Ballard, look, this is all just a misunderstanding. I'll remove these tapes personally, alright?""That won't do at all." Rosalie crossed her arms over her chest and smiled. Wallace's eyes flickered. He saw that Sebastian was unmoved, so he clenched his teeth and bowed in apology. "Mr. Ballard, I was wrong. I was wrong, alright? I apologize for today's incident, and I'll remove the tapes. Please have mercy and let it go just this once."Zeke squeezed out a smile too and said, "Look Dr. Ballard, why don't we just forget about all this?""Forget about it?"Sebastian laughed coldly and said, "Mr. Fisher, I know he's your man. However, this won't be over unless Wallace kneels down if he wants to remove the tapes." "You—!" Wallace was furious. However, Zeke glared angrily at him and shouted, "What are you standing ther
Fergus immediately grinned and said, "How could I do something so shameless? Although Sebastian and I have never seen eye to eye, I wouldn't do something like that."Whitney frowned, and she said doubtfully, "It really wasn't you?""Whitney, you should believe me," Fergus said. She exhaled and said, "Alright, I believe you."Fergus breathed a sigh of relief. He had been afraid that he would slip up. However, he immediately tried to stir up conflict again. "Whitney, there are some things that I still have to say. Sebastian isn't reliable."Look at what happened just now! He doubted you even though you helped him so much. I thought he was being very unreasonable! Don't talk with him so much in the future." Whitney sat down and raised her eyebrows. "Okay."She felt even more resentful and unhappy about Sebastian. He had doubted her even though they had been married for three years!It made Whitney very sad. She also felt that Sebastian was being an ass. In their three year
Whitney looked up at the second floor and nodded. Then, the two of them waited in silence. At the same time, in one of the premium rooms on the second floor, Howard was reverentially inviting Sebastian to take a seat. "Please sit down, Dr. Ballard." Howard personally pulled out a chair for him. Sebastian didn't refuse and sat down calmly. He got straight to the point. "You said that the Twin Killers of Zuebonia have a mentor in Steinberg?""Yes."Howard hurriedly sat down and replied, "That guy last night has already confessed everything. I know who was targeting me behind my back now too. It's my rival in Janover, Tony. He's the head of the Wright family.""The name of the Zuebonia Twin Killers' mentor is Westley Mitchell. Ten years ago, he was a renowned figure in the world of martial arts, and he once dominated the Salava area. "He had many followers, and the Zuebonia Twin Killers were his star pupils. However, the two of them committed a severe crime and went on the ru
"Dr. Ballard?" Whitney thought to herself. Her brow wrinkled, and she looked confused."I'm sorry, Mr. Tuffin. Could I ask for Dr. Ballard's full name?" she asked politely as she smiled in embarrassment. Howard frowned and looked Whitney up and down. He smiled and said, "It seems that you don't know who Dr. Ballard is, Ms. Sutton. That's fine. I have matters to attend to, so I'll bid farewell to you here."He turned to go upstairs.Mabel saw this and hurriedly stood out. She smiled and said, "Mr. Tuffin, we may know who Dr. Ballard is if you tell us his full name. As you know, Steinberg isn't very big, but it's not very small either.""There are many doctors with that name too. I'm not sure if the Dr. Ballard you're referring to is the one we know," she added. Howard turned when he heard this. He looked at Mabel with a smile playing on his lips and said, "Oh, it seems that you know someone called Dr. Ballard too?"Mabel thought for a moment and said, "Yes."Howard nodded and
Even the audience who were sitting nearby could hear the sound of the very air splitting apart."Dodge!""Don't try to stand against it!""That's a vicious kick, Mr. Ballard! Be careful!"The Dramonian audience was all worried for Sebastian.Whitney was sitting in the stands when she suddenly turned pale and gasped, holding tightly onto Nina's hand.Beside them, Ezekiel scoffed. He was probably the only one who could dodge Jules' kick, and even then, it would have been a close call.Sebastian still hadn't moved an inch. He was probably scared witless by the power of the kick."This is what happens when young people don't know how to be humble and wary!" Ezekiel said, staring coldly at Sebastian."Mr. Harton, Sebastian is still a Dramonian! Don't you think you're being too much when you say that?" Whitney asked accusingly, her brow furrowed."Why you—" Ezekiel glared at her, but as she was a young woman, he just huffed angrily and did not speak again.If Whitney hadn't been
"Fine! You're all opposing me, so it's not up to me anymore. Sapientia is going to forfeit today. No Sapientia apprentices will be allowed to battle!" Ezekiel yelled furiously.Phineas looked contemptuously at him and turned to all the Martial Arts Court members. He said, "Everyone, I don't expect to leave this place alive today, but we cannot let the century of humiliation that Dramon suffered play out again here today. "I stand as long as my nation stands. If the nation falls, so do I! If those of you here are not willing to sacrifice your lives, you can forfeit! I won't force you to do anything!"Phineas spoke passionately, and many of the audience felt their eyes fill with tears. Over a dozen deacons of the Martial Arts Court stood up and said, "Mr. Tuxley, we are willing to follow you until we die. We have no regrets!"Phineas nodded heavily and said to the staff members outside the arena. "Everyone from the Martial Arts Court, sign up!"As Phineas finished speaking, the a
As soon as Sebastian finished speaking, an old man in a robe stood up. He was among the audience seats for Dramon, and he asked, "Sebastian, what right do you have to speak for the martial arts community of Dramon?"The old man was Ezekiel Harton from Mount Sapientia. He had been waiting to watch the show and see if Sebastian would make a fool of himself.However, Sebastian had offended hundreds of international experts instead. Things would get messy now.Although the Sapientia apprentices nearby had all rushed to the scene, there were less than 20 of them altogether. Even if they were made of steel, they wouldn't be able to battle against hundreds of international experts.Sebastian's death was unimportant, but he was now dragging all of them down as well!"Oh? Since when did I say that I'm representing the martial arts community? Do we need to mention that when fighting against a couple of ornaments? Are there no good men in Dramon?" Sebastian glanced at the audience.Over a
In the arena, Jules narrowed his eyes at Sebastian and gritted his teeth. When he got the opportunity later, he had to kill Sebastian!Emil had been a good friend of his for many years, and he had died at Sebastian's hand just a few days ago. Jules had to avenge him."Sebastian, as long as you're willing to go to your knees and apologize, we can persuade Mr. Laurent to forgive you," an official from Southia said to Sebastian, blocking his path.Sebastian glanced at him and said impassively, "Get lost!"The official from Southia hadn't expected Sebastian to insult him. If Sebastian went into the arena today, he would be sure to die. How could he be so conceited at this point?"How dare you insult me?" the official from Southia asked in halting Dramonian. "Well, only humans are worth insulting, and I haven't insulted any," Sebastian answered calmly.The audience roared with laughter."Good on you, Mr. Ballard!""Mr. Ballard is right! These bastards aren't even fit to be called
Blake's subordinates could deal with ordinary Warriors without a problem, but fighting against international experts would be suicide. After a while, Sebastian's phone rang. When he saw that it was Blake, he answered. "Mr. Ballard, I don't think my subordinates are up to it. They can't deal with a situation like that at all," Blake said truthfully."Don't worry, they can just do anything they can think of. I have a way to make them win every battle," Sebastian said, smiling.Lyanna didn't even have to do anything. If they used the Indigo Thunder God tactic, they would be able to freeze the opponents so that they couldn't move. Everything would be solved."Mr. Ballard, I'll send a few more people over then. Do you think that a team of ten would be enough?" Blake asked."Yes. Any number would be fine," Sebastian said, smiling."Alright. I'll send a team of ten. That should be enough."Sebastian assented and hung up.…Early the next morning, the city of Steinberg was abuzz wi
"Lyanna did that for you. Do you understand what she means now?" Nina chortled.Zane looked embarrassed. How could a frail-looking young woman like Lyanna be so powerful? She had managed to release a bolt of energy from his angle without even making a single sound. Even he had thought that he was the one who had done it. "Oh my… I… That seems impossible!" Zane was flabbergasted."Everything is possible. Just go into the arena tomorrow. You might become famous overnight," Lyanna said, smiling.Zane patted his chest, his heart thumping madly with excitement. "You want to use him to get rid of those international experts?" Sebastian frowned slightly.He had understood Lyanna's intention at once. If Sebastian or Nina and the others were the ones who attacked, they would be sure to attract the attention of the international experts.Zane was a nobody, and anyone who had any kind of training could tell that he was a total rookie. Who wouldn't want to defeat a few rookies in the aren
Sapientia apprentices?Phineas still felt worried. Would a few apprentices from Sapientia be enough to face the kind of people that would be coming?He would feel much more confident if all the experts from one of the twelve peaks of Sapientia came. "I hope Sebastian can pull through. Otherwise, the martial arts community is going to be in big trouble!" Phineas said through clenched teeth.Alaric was unconcerned. He was on his own anyway, and he could run at any time if things looked like it would take a turn for the worse.Things were different for Phineas. If the foreign Warriors did wipe out the Steinberg martial arts community, there would be no way out for him as the head director.Even if he ran to Sunway, he would be sentenced to death according to the rules of the martial arts community.…Back in the convenience store, Zane was pouring tea for Sebastian while grinning impishly. He asked, "Sebastian, can I go into the arena tomorrow and try it out too?""You?" Sebasti
Ross and the others all sat down unabashedly in the main seats. When they saw the delicious food on the table, they all looked extremely triumphant.Before long, Alaric was led into the pavilion by a deacon."Mr. Donnelly, please sit. These are the four experts sent by the state Martial Arts Court. This is…" Phineas introduced them one by one.Alaric glanced at them. If these four went into the arena, they would be embarrassing the martial arts community of Dramon! "Didn't Sartvale Martial Arts Court send anyone else?" Alaric asked harshly. Ross' expression flickered slightly. He frowned and said, "They're only a few foreign Warriors. What's there to be afraid of? With the four of us here, I'm sure they won't dare to try anything big."Alaric snorted. The four of them? He could crush those four losers with one hand! "I'm not underestimating you, but… do you know who is coming?" Alaric asked, sneering. Ross and the others looked startled. Alaric clearly didn't respect them.
"Mr. Ballard, let's make sure to remain within our capabilities. Besides, it doesn't seem appropriate for us to kill all of them," Phineas said. He couldn't help shuddering at the thought.Those hundreds of people were the pillars of the martial arts community in each country. If they were all destroyed in Steinberg, it would be sure to cause an international conflict."We need to make them fear and respect us!" Sebastian said impassively.He could close one eye when it came to Dramon's martial arts community, but if the martial arts communities from other countries wanted to interfere, they would be crossing lines. Phineas felt a chill in his heart. He exchanged a few pleasantries with Sebastian before leaving in a hurry. No matter how confident Sebastian was, he had to deliver what Sebastian had just said to Sartvale Martial Arts Court.After all, they had to be prepared. The Dramon martial arts community had to get their defenses ready.…Two days passed in the blink of an e
