"You crazy bastard!" Zane's features were contorted with anger, and he slapped Zachary hard in the face.Zachary was startled by Zane's slap, and he clutched his face as he stared at the man in shock. "Zachary, if you want to die, do it yourself. You can go hang yourself, jump in the river, or jump onto the train tracks, but don't drag our family down with you!" Zane exclaimed as he delivered two more resounding slaps."M-Mr. Northman, I—"Zachary was utterly confused by Zane's slaps."What are you standing there for? Get lost!" Zane yelled furiously at the security guards. The security guards jumped in fright and ran out at once."Seb, you… I… I… This is negligence on my part. Please don't take it to heart."Zane was almost in tears."Of course I won't take it to heart. The actions of this individual have nothing to do with the Northmans. However, I can't just let the fact that he wanted to break my legs go. I hate it when people threaten me," Sebastian said with a stormy exp
Zane turned to look at the middle-aged, wealthy woman. He frowned and asked, "Who are you?""You don't need to bother about who I am, but is this how the Northmans run their business? I already reserved those bangles. What right do you have to give them to him?" the woman screamed shrilly."I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. Did you say that you're part of the upper class?" Sebastian asked, turning to glance at the middle-aged woman."Well? Are you going to break my legs too? Hmph, as if you're worthy of doing so!" The middle-aged woman glared coldly at Sebastian. She wasn't an ordinary person. A nobody like Zachary couldn't be compared with her. She didn't even think anything of offending the Northmans. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had the guts to question the situation when she already knew that Zane was the Northman heir. "Break your legs?" Sebastian shook his head slightly. That wasn't his style. Sebastian liked giving people a taste of their own medicine.
"Be good. There are so many other articles here. I can give you a pendant too," Sebastian said.Whitney finally smiled sweetly. She didn't care about the gift. She only cared about whom Sebastian loved more."Use this emerald to make four sets of bangles and four pendants, as well as a pendant in the shape of a dragon," Sebastian said, pointing at the emerald piece. "As you wish, Seb. I'll get our family's top craftsmen to start work on it at once," Zane said. He pulled out his phone to make a call.Before long, several emerald craftsmen who worked for the Northmans rushed to the store in the city center and began cutting up the emerald right in front of Sebastian.Hermione smiled coldly as she watched Sebastian. She vowed inwardly that all those emerald articles would soon be hers.At that moment, a bunch of burly men appeared, their chests bare. They wore training clothes, and they walked into Northman Jewelry with a lean, capable-looking man in their midst."Ms. Hermione, wh
"Wait!" Zane rushed over in a hurry and stood in front of Sebastian. "Caesar, let me give you some advice. You'd better call Mr. Lanvard Senior before you make a decision. Otherwise, you won't be able to bear the consequences.""You think I won't be able to bear it? What a joke!" Caesar said scornfully. "Is there anything that our family cannot bear? Even if we kill him, my family will be able to ensure that nothing happens to me."Caesar looked arrogantly at Zane. The Lanvards were at the top of their game, and everyone in Sartvale had to show them respect. Even the Martial Arts Court had to be polite whenever they met him."It appears that you won't give up until you fall! However, hitting you is beneath me," Sebastian said and called Phineas.When Phineas received Sebastian's call, he immediately set out with everyone from Steinberg's Martial Arts Court.After Sebastian ended his call, Caesar grinned scornfully and said, "Oh, you're calling Phineas, are you? Have you looked in
"I… I don't know."Caesar was panicking. It seemed that Everett would have to step in to resolve this incident.After all, Everett wasn't afraid of Phineas. The head director of Steinberg's Martial Arts Court would still have to show respect to him.At that thought, Caesar hastily called Everett. After telling him briefly about what had happened, he mentioned that Phineas had also come and had treated Sebastian with great respect.Everett's heart sank as soon as he heard that.When Alaric and the others had gone down from the mountain, Everett had gone to greet them as well, and he had seen that martial arts battle with his own eyes.Ethan wasn't the only one who had been defeated by Sebastian. Even Alaric and the others had almost lost their lives. Was he the young man that even Phineas was being so respectful to?Sebastian was also extraordinarily young. He was only in his 20s. Had his idiotic son offended that young man?Everett felt more and more unsure of himself. He hasti
Everett, who had just entered, looked in the direction that Caesar had pointed and recognized Sebastian at once.His knees buckled, and he almost fell flat on his face. Wasn't that the young man who had murdered Ethan the other day?"Dad, watch your step."Caesar just thought that Everett was getting on in years and hadn't been watching his step, which was why he had almost slipped and fallen."You ingrate!" Everett straightened up and slapped Caesar without hesitating.Caesar was shocked. He turned to look at Everett and asked, "Dad, why did you hit me? You're supposed to hit him!"Even at that point, Caesar was still pointing at Sebastian and trying to act tough. It infuriated Everett so much that he almost choked. The Lanvards had gotten to their current position through a great deal of effort, and they were almost within reach of their goal of becoming one of Sartvale's prominent families. Now, Caesar had offended Sebastian and even threatened to break his legs!Sebastia
The emerald articles that Sebastian wanted weren't difficult to make, and there was also a ready-made mold for the dragon-shaped pendant that he wanted. They had all been completed within less than an hour.Sebastian took the bangles and the other emerald articles and nodded slightly as he said, "The workmanship is pretty good, and it was done very quickly. The Northmans have many capable people working for them."Zane hastily beamed and said, "As long as you're satisfied, Seb. I'll deliver that emerald sword for you right away."It was only then that Caesar and Hermione realized why Zane, who was the Northman heir, was treating Sebastian with so much respect.They had finally realized that the family influence they had always relied on was nothing more than a joke to Sebastian.How could they afford to offend someone who could make the Lasners and the Lanvards donate their entire family fortune with just one sentence? Could they compete against Sebastian in wealth?Sebastian was
Cousin?Melvin's eyes almost bulged out of his head."Go and find out who offended him and his girlfriend. I'll give you one hour, or else your entire family will be destroyed!""What?" Melvin thought he had heard him wrongly. His head snapped up as he stared at Andreas in disbelief."Melvin, either you're getting old or you're getting too big for your boots. Are the Ballards no longer allowed to give you orders?"Andreas' expression turned frosty at once, and his eyes suddenly glinted murderously.The temperature in the room dropped to freezing point. A layer of frost actually formed on the glasses of water on the table. "I would never dare to do so."Melvin felt as if his soul had actually left his body from fright. He fell to his knees in front of Andreas.He wasn't sure about anyone else, but Melvin knew Andreas' temper far too well. The question he had asked was enough to make Melvin lose his life. "You wouldn't dare?"Andreas narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "If it
"Kneel!" Sebastian suddenly yelled.Brayden yelped with fear and fell to his knees."Sebastian, I… I'm a tristate inspector of the Martial Arts Court!"At that point, Brayden's final hope was his authority and position. He didn't want to die, and he especially didn't want to die for no reason.He just wanted to win favor with the ancestral being of the Berkeleys and get some tips on how to get a longer life."Call your wife! I'll give you two hours. If she doesn't come, you'll be tortured to death as well. I can tell you clearly that I'm a doctor, and I have ways to keep you alive until you get slashed 3,600 times with a knife!" Sebastian said icily."I…"Brayden trembled as he pulled out his phone. His mind had gone blank, and it took him a long time to find his wife's phone number. Her name was Darla Wyllis. "Hello? Honey? A handbag caught my eye today, but that stupid store actually refused to give it to me for free! It's a lousy handbag that only costs about 500 thousand d
Jayden had only gone a few steps, but he had no choice but to stop. He turned and grimaced at the Berkeleys and Brayden, who were all looking in his direction.He was filled with regret. He should have made his escape earlier instead of coming back with Brayden. Egbert and Yorrick were clearly fools. One of them had maimed himself and ended up vomiting blood relentlessly, while the other stood there like an idiot for Sebastian to slap him. He would be surprised if either of them could defeat Sebastian.As everyone was watching him, Jayden had no choice but to return to his previous spot. He looked nervously at Yorrick, praying inwardly that the old man would somehow get more skilled. He couldn't let Sebastian screw him over!"This is the last slap, old man. Do you still have any feeling in your face?" Sebastian asked, raising his palm."Damn you!" Yorrick swore violently. However, one of his front teeth had been knocked out earlier when he was slapped, and air escaped noisily t
The entire left side of Yorrick's face had become so numb that he couldn't feel a thing."Young man, just now you already hit me—""I only slapped you once!" Sebastian interrupted, holding up a finger.Yorrick spat and said, "How could one slap have made so many noises?"Sebastian replied innocently, "Everyone here can testify that I only hit you once, and I did it very slowly too. You all saw it, didn't you?"The onlookers nodded quickly, especially the experts from the law enforcement hall. They still couldn't figure out how an expert at Yorrick's level could have been sent flying through the air by a weak slap like that from Sebastian.What puzzled them the most was that Yorrick had clearly landed in a very safe spot. Why had he insisted on rolling into a pile of broken glass and gotten such a gaping wound on his face?"Fine!" Yorrick clenched his teeth and suppressed the pain in the right side of his face. "There are still two moves left!" he said viciously."Will you com
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
