However, things were developing in a way that was completely unexpected from what Hendrix had imagined.Hendrix couldn't help but swallow. From the moment Rory had stood up until the moment Shirley was tossed into Tomas' room, less than five seconds had passed.Even Hendrix was dumbstruck. What kind of move was that?Hendrix wasn't the only one who hadn't had time to react. Even the Wentworths were stunned. Was Rory giving up his own family for the sake of the martial arts community?However, Rory didn't seem like someone who would be so noble!In the end, Hendrix came to his senses first and ran over quickly to knock on the door. He said, "Mr. Argento, that's not the beautiful woman you had your eye on! It's wrong! It's the wrong one!"After a long time, Tomas came out of the room, looking satisfied. He asked, puzzled, "What did you say was wrong?"Hendrix pointed at Nina, his features twisted as he said, "Look! She's over there and hasn't moved at all!""Damn it!" Tomas was s
At that moment, Tomas strode toward Sebastian while holding his machete. He looked greedily at Nina and said, "Hey, you brat. I told you to send this woman over to that room. Didn't you hear me?" Before Sebastian could speak, there was a gulping sound. "Sebastian, I've finished my drink!"Nina's bright smile was devastatingly beautiful. As she spoke, she waved the drink she was holding at Sebastian. She was adorable. However, the straw in Nina's drink suddenly flew out. There was a squelch as it actually pierced the back of Tomas' foot and plunged into the tiled floor. Tomas yelped in pain and hastily crouched down. He clutched his foot and let out a scream. "Damn it! My foot!" Tomas now had a plastic straw that was about a foot long piercing his foot. He didn't know whether he should pull it out or not. Even touching it was extremely painful. Joaquin was equally shocked by what he had seen. Sebastian could have pierced Zephyr's kneecap with a fork because although Zephyr
Tomas didn't even dare to breathe heavily."Do you know where you are?" Nina asked impassively. Tomas was stumped. He didn't dare to answer the question, because he would die as soon as he said the answer! He had to stall for time. If he could get five minutes of time, his mentor would be able to rush over. Perhaps he would have a chance of surviving. "Miss, Mr. Argento is a friendly representative from the martial arts community of Yutaria. He is under protection while he is in Dramon. If it causes any diplomatic difficulties, it will cause a disaster!"Joaquin saw that Tomas was silent, so he hastily tried to smooth things over. He thought that as he was the head director of a state Martial Arts Court, Nina would have to show him some respect once he spoke up.However, all Nina did was slap him in response. All the rest of them saw was Nina swinging her hand despite being several feet away. There was a resounding slap that echoed in the hall.Right after that, Joaquin fle
Sebastian clasped his hands behind his back and eyed Joaquin as he asked sarcastically, "Capabilities? Since when has the Martial Arts Court been a servant for Yutarian Warriors?" Joaquin was flummoxed by the question. Tomas kept shooting him meaningful looks, trying to indicate for him to stall with Sebastian. If his mentor could get there, everything would be solved. Joaquin's eyes flickered, and he plastered on a smile as he said, "Mr. Ballard, everything happened so suddenly that I didn't have time to react. The Martial Arts Court will be sure to provide a satisfactory explanation for Tomas' aggravated assault. He waved a hand at his men, and four or five experts from the Martial Arts Court stepped forward to take Tomas away.Sebastian suddenly waved a hand and said, "I don't think you need to take him away. A life for a life. That is a law that has never changed. I think we should just execute him in public."Tomas turned pale with fright at his words. He wasn't afraid of
Arran had been famous for almost 40 years, but what about Sebastian?He hadn't even been born when Arran had become famous. Was there anything to compare between them?When it came to martial arts, time was of the first priority. No matter how prestigious their background or how good their technique was, or even if their mentor was a Martial Sage, it all came down to how many days they had been training. Without having time to settle and accumulate, it would all be worth nothing. "20 years? Even Arran wouldn't dare to speak so boldly, would he?" Sebastian smiled slightly and added, "If your mentor comes, I'll make him kill you personally!"With Joaquin in the lead, everyone laughed out loud."Mr. Ballard, there are some things you can boast about, but there are some things you can't take back once you've said them! I just received a message. Do you want to read it?" Joaquin asked gleefully as he pulled out his phone. The content of the message was very short and concise. Arra
Sebastian slowly took out a coin from his pocket and tossed it into the air. The coin tinkled, and several dark shadows suddenly appeared in front of them. Joaquin was the head director of a Martial Arts Court, and he had seen and experienced many things. He immediately recognized the dark shadows as Sebastian's enslaved spirits!"How could you keep enslaved spirits!" Joaquin said, backing away several steps from fear.This wasn't something that a Warrior could do. It meant that Sebastian was closely related to the mystic sects! He didn't even need the enslaved spirits to be able to beat Rory up. How powerful would the enslaved spirits be? The level of the enslaved spirits often indicated the level of the mystic arts."Well? Is there any kind of rule that prohibits the rearing of enslaved spirits?" Sebastian asked, smiling slightly.The enslaved spirits weren't actually raised by Sebastian. Lyanna had just handed them over to him before he left, just in case he needed them!"
After Rowan had made a blood oath, Sebastian had let him leave Steinberg. After their battle, Rowan didn't dare to stay in Dramon. He had fled back to Yutaria overnight. Sebastian had never imagined that he would meet him in Mount Klane once more after so many years.While everyone was in shock, something happened that left them even more flabbergasted. Arran knelt with Rowan."Greetings my lord, from your servant, Rowan," Rowan said."Arran asks for your punishment!" Arran said. While everyone looked on, Arran actually pulled out his machete and held it with both hands above his head as he handed it to Sebastian. "Mr. Lannell!" Tomas was aghast. Hendrix was even more shocked than Tomas was, and his knees had gone weak with fright. Shouldn't Arran and Rowan be picking a fight with Sebastian? Why were they kneeling to him instead? Rory spat out another mouthful of blood. Arran and Rowan kneeling was an even bigger slap in the face to him.Could he really say that Sebastian
Arran nodded, but he couldn't even say a word. He was terrified. Nina was looking at him as if he was already a corpse."Why did you commit murder in Dramon?" Sebastian asked accusingly.Arran took several deep breaths and said shakily, "For… For the Reincarnation Pill!"Sebastian nodded slightly and asked, "Did you come to Mount Klane for the Reincarnation Pill?" That was what confused Sebastian the most. The day he had arrived in Klane City, he had immediately noticed what was unusual about it. There had been purple bolts of lightning in the stormy clouds over the mountain.That meant that despite the serenity in Klane City, something big was definitely happening on Mount Quiln. "No! We have discovered a terrifying monster king on Mount Quiln!" Arran answered bluntly.Rowan quickly pulled out a very old photo. It would be more accurate to call it a drawing.There was a very beautiful woman in the drawing. She wore the type of long skirt common in the bygone era, and there
From how pale Sebastian was, Bryson deduced that he must be very sick or extremely weak. He even felt that fighting against Sebastian would be an insult.Although he wasn't the top fighter in the Lynch family, he was still one of the best ones. There was no honor in winning against a sick person."I'm going to give you the same words," Sebastian said, smiling widely."Mr. Lynch, he's actually very powerful. I don't think that Bryson will be a match for him. Why don't you let them attack together?"Jayden had seen Sebastian fight before. Although he could see that Sebastian looked unwell, he was still an expert. It would be better to be more wary. Colton rolled his eyes at Jayden. He knew Bryson's skill level. How could an expert who was at the eighth level of the Energy Refining Technique lose against a sick man?Sebastian looked so frail that he was sure to be knocked out as soon as they started fighting. Plus, the number of people in the whole of Acorn City who could last more
Colton nodded slightly and patted Cliff on the shoulder. He turned and said to Sebastian, "You heard him. He's one of our men. Therefore, you can't take that with you, but you won't make too much of a loss. Here's a check for 500 thousand dollars. Hand that emerald buckle over!"Colton was clearly not going to give Sebastian a choice in the matter. He was used to doing whatever he pleased by relying on his family's influence. Besides, they were also on very good terms with the local Martial Arts Court. He couldn't use his family's connections for the grudge between Jayden and Sebastian, but he would have ample reason to use the Lynches' influence for a priceless emerald buckle.There always had to be a legitimate reason. Clearly, Colton was smarter than Jayden. "I'm not interested in your check, and I'm not going to give it to you either!" Sebastian answered coldly without even glancing at the check.Colton looked thoughtfully at Sebastian and clasped his hands behind his back.
Sebastian had just walked out of the antiques street and had held out his hand to flag down a cab when a middle-aged man in black training clothes walked over to him. The man held out a hand to block Sebastian and Unus' path."Stop!" Sebastian glanced at the middle-aged man and asked, "And what can I do for you?""Mr. Lynch wants to see you. Come with me!" the middle-aged man said icily."Mr. Lynch? Who the hell is that?" Sebastian asked sardonically, sneering. "It's Colton Lynch, and you better remember it!"Sebastian heard a clear, crisp voice. Two young men walked over to him, one walking slightly in front of the other.There was a young man in a branded suit next to the first one. Sebastian couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw the young man next to Colton. It was Jayden, his old friend from Sartvale.Sebastian had never expected to meet Jayden Acorn City. Now that he thought about it, Jayden still owed him a life. If Sebastian hadn't shown mercy to him, the flowers
The old man nodded slightly and said, "That's right. My name is Solomon Jackman. If you think things through, you can come to Townsend Clinic. We can discuss the price!"Solomon bowed to Sebastian before squeezing out of the crowd. Cliff's eyes reddened as he watched Solomon leave. Solomon was a prominent figure in Acorn City. Not only did he have exceptional medical skills, he was also skilled in martial arts. However, neither of those were Solomon's true specialty. What he was most skilled at was antique appraisal! Any antique that Solomon appraised was sure to be a treasure among treasures.Noticing Sebastian and Unus turning to walk away, Cliff immediately became agitated. "Stop!" he shouted.Sebastian turned to glance at him and said, "A deal's a deal. No returns or refunds. You said that yourself. It's the rule of the antique industry!"Cliff ignored all of that. He came out from behind his stall and grabbed Sebastian's sleeve. "I'm not going to sell that emerald pendan
"I don't think that you've seen the original form of this emerald pendant, either," Sebastian said, smiling coldly at Cliff. Cliff looked disdainfully at him. He felt that Sebastian was just unhappy about being tricked and was trying to provoke him. "Stop putting on that mysterious act. Why wouldn't I know about something that belongs to me?" Cliff demanded with a scoff. "You might really not know," Sebastian replied. He closed his palm slightly and exerted a slight force. The layer of stone on top of the emerald pendant peeled off. While everyone looked on, dumbstruck, Sebastian opened his palm once more. The crowd gasped.There were two clouds of energy on the emerald pendant, chasing each other like a pair of fish. One was black, while the other was red. The emerald pendant had been square-shaped originally, but it had now become a round emerald buckle. In the middle of it, a pale yellow energy was rising slowly. Everyone cried out in shock. It was clearly a rare trea
Some people just didn't know what was good for them. Even if Cliff had wanted to laugh, he should have waited for Sebastian to leave before doing so. How could he call a buyer a fool while they were still there?"It may be a little crude, my young friend, but it doesn't change the fact that you were hoodwinked!" Cliff said, guffawing gleefully.Since Sebastian had already paid, he could no longer take it back. After all, it was a rule never to accept returns or refunds. When Cliff thought of how he had charged Sebastian more than ten thousand for something that had only cost him about 300 to 400 dollars, he became even more smug. "You'll just have to bear with it, my young friend. Not regretting your purchase is the rule of the antique industry. Even if you've now found out that you were deceived, you can't get your money back!""That's right. The work on the emerald pendant that you're holding is so shoddy that it was clearly just done last week. It's a new item!" "Watch out
Sebastian laughed at the reluctant expression on the stall owner's face. He weighed the emerald pendant in his hand and asked, "Mister, are you sure that this emerald pendant is worth 210 thousand?"With that, he tossed it onto the counter and turned to leave."Huh?"The stall owner immediately ran around to the front of the stall when he saw that Sebastian was about to leave. He grabbed him and said, "Don't be in such a rush to leave, my young friend. Let's negotiate. If you're sincere about buying it, I'll sell it to you at 150 thousand, and I'll be making a loss. Let this be the start of a friendship between us!"Sebastian smiled slightly and said, "Mister, even a layman can tell that this emerald pendant is a fake. I just like the patterns on it because it's quite trendy. That's why I asked about it on a whim."Describing the patterns on the antique as trendy only served to show how obvious it was that it was a fake.The stall owner turned beet red, then white. He cursed hi
However, the more famous something was, the more imitations there would be. Antiques were no exception. In Boren, streets filled with antique stores were abundant. From Klane City to the smallest town, they were omnipresent.There were stores and stalls of various kinds that had everything, but all of them had one thing in common. All the antiques and trinkets that they sold were a mixed bag of authentic and fake. Buyers had to rely on their own judgment. There was also an unspoken rule there. Once a deal was made, no returns were allowed. If a buyer had paid for an item before realizing that something was wrong or recognizing that it was a fake, they would have no choice but to accept it. There was a saying about how the golden age of antiques was during times of chaos. Although they were now in times of peace, many members of the upper class were still very interested in them. Both experts and laymen liked to have a few collector's items in their homes. There were plenty of we
"Watch him closely! If you lose him, I'll have your head!" Anton said before hanging up. A malicious grin spread across his face.As the son of the head director of Boren Martial Arts Court, many were eager to curry favor with him. If it came to dealing with Sebastian, there were plenty of people willing to do the dirty work for him. Acorn City was the second largest city in Boren after Klane City, and Anton knew just who to call. About two weeks ago, the Lynch family of Acorn City had sent gifts to him. However, as the Lynches were a third-rate elite martial arts family, Anton had dismissed them. That was why, despite searching frantically, he couldn't find Colton Lynch's name card."Damn it! Where did that asshole's name card get to?"It was the first time Anton had been so anxious about finding the name card of an heir from a third-rate family. After rummaging around for a while, Anton had a sudden flash of inspiration. It was in the trash can!He suddenly remembered that
