Chapter 18

Author: Wendell Mayhew
"Really?" Whitney exclaimed. She was already beside herself with worry.

Fergus nodded and said confidently, "My dad has some connections with the Griffin family. As long as he puts in a word for you, I'm sure it won't be a problem to get you the guaranteed spot in the city-level competition."

"Please do, Mr. Cobb. As long as you resolve this issue for me, I'll be forever indebted to you," Whitney said urgently as she clutched Fergus' arm.

Fergus declared, "Of course. I'll call my dad right away."

He walked off to the side. The call lasted quite some time, but when he came back, his expression was a little grim.

"How did it go, Mr. Cobb?" Whitney frantically asked.

Fergus scratched his head awkwardly.

His father had berated him and called him a lust-driven braggart who was blindly showing off in an attempt to woo a woman. He also refused to help out with getting a guaranteed spot in the city-level competition.

Just then, Mabel got a call. When she answered it, she was so happy t

    Sebastian was the reason why Frostwave Corporation got a guaranteed spot in the city-level competition?The moment he said that, everyone froze in confusion and disbelief."You're so shameless, Sebastian. I can't believe you had the nerve to say that!" Mabel scoffed disdainfully.She eyed Sebastian in contempt.Fergus almost laughed until his sides hurt. "You sure know how to flatter yourself, Sebastian! You'll never be able to accomplish what I can get done with a single call! If that upsets you, well, here's a word of advice—suck it up!"Sebastian cocked an eyebrow and retorted with an icy gaze, "It's not always that easy to steal credit for something. Careful, or it might end up backfiring on you.""What do you mean by that, huh? Who else should get the credit, if not me? Don't tell me it's you!" Fergus growled in fury with a stormy expression.Mabel piped up, "You're just jealous, Sebastian! Mr. Cobb is way more capable than you are! Is it so hard for you to admit it?"Frow

    "Next, let's invite Frostwave Corporation to present their newest product, the Goldcrow pill! I'm sure everyone has heard about it. It's said to be a groundbreaking medicine that can treat all illnesses!"A round of applause, please, as we invite Ms. Whitney Sutton, the CEO of Frostwave Corporation, to come up on stage!"A round of applause rang out."It's our turn, Ms. Sutton," Mabel said in excitement.Whitney took a deep breath and stood up.She saw the spotlights on the stage and heard the thunderous applause.Tonight, she would be embarking on her first step to becoming the queen of Steinberg's business world.She would be officially bidding goodbye to the past and ushering in a new future.After exhaling, Whitney's gaze fell on Sebastian, who was still chatting with ease in the corner.Once again, she reminded herself that after tonight, she and Sebastian would belong to two entirely different worlds. She would tower far above him.She would become a household name in S

    Everyone in the hall was thunderstruck.In an instant, all eyes turned toward the corner where Sebastian sat.Their gazes varied between shock, doubt, fury, disdain, and revelry.Who was he?What gave him the nerve to say something like that during such an important occasion? Did he have a death wish?Even Rosalie shrank back timidly. She did not like the feeling of being stared at by so many people.She crept nearer to Sebastian and tugged on his shirt while muttering, "Watch what you say, Dr. Ballard. That's Mr. Whitaker Senior. He's from the state capital. Even my family, the Griffins, have to treat him with respect …"Meanwhile, Isabel, who was standing beside Nathan, immediately recognized Sebastian.Her eyes flickered in bewilderment.What was he doing here?She too, thought it was brave of him to say such a thing in front of Nathan.Isabel frowned as she tried to find a way to excuse Sebastian's actions.Meanwhile, after hearing what Sebastian said, Whitney was stunn

    Everyone in the hall started murmuring among themselves.When they heard Whitney mentioning the divorce, they realized that Sebastian was once her husband.They knew her husband. He was the one who founded Frostwave Corporation three years ago and became known as the talented entrepreneur who was the most capable young man in Steinberg.But two years ago, he started retreating from Steinberg's business world. No one ever spoke of him again. If Whitney had not brought it up, they would not have even recognized him.It was rumored that Sebastian, the previous CEO of Frostwave Corporation, became obsessed with the mystical arts. He had abandoned the company and started a small shop doing fortune telling and geomancy readings instead. The crowd figured the rumors were true after all.Most of the people present knew about Sebastian's past fame.But now, he seemed like an entirely different person.He was an aimless loser who spoke irresponsibly to sway the crowd.By now, everyone

    Everyone inside the hall fixed their eyes on Nathan. They wanted to see his reaction after eating the Goldcrow pill.Isabel also crouched down and asked in concern, "How do you feel, Grandpa?"Nathan smiled faintly and said, "I think it worked. My body feels a lot lighter, and my chest feels less stuffy. The persistent pain is gone too, and my mind feels clearer. The Goldcrow pill is indeed effective."As soon as he said that, all the guests became agitated!The Goldcrow pill was a miracle cure!Now that even Nathan had voiced his support for it, the pill would certainly have a huge impact on Steinberg's pharmaceutical industry!After hearing Nathan's words, Whitney's heart settled back in place. She exhaled in relief.Thanks to this event, the Goldcrow pill had made its mark!Whitney was starting to imagine what it would be like when Frostwave Corporation became the top pharmaceutical industry in Steinberg.Mabel was also thrilled. Her eyes were filled with pride."We did it

    Mabel hastily helped Whitney up from the floor as she cried out, "W-What should we do now Ms. Sutton? If something happens to Mr. Whitaker Senior, we're done for! It'll all be over for us …"Someone from the crowd cried out, "Sebastian was right …"Sebastian?Upon hearing his name, Whitney froze and stared out the entrance."Ms. Sutton, I'm sure Sebastian's behind this! He's the one who gave me the formula. He did it on purpose. He wants to harm you and the entire Frostwave Corporation!" Mabel declared in fury. After realizing the situation, she quickly shoved all the blame onto Sebastian without mentioning all of his repeated warnings."Is it really him?" Whitney said hesitantly.Based on her understanding of him, she thought that even though they were divorced, he would not do this to hurt her.She believed that even though he had become something of a loser in the last two years, he was still a decent person."Ms. Sutton, how can you still trust that bastard at a time like t

    Whitney froze briefly before letting out a bitter laugh and saying, "So, this is what you're truly after, isn't it?"Sebastian frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?""Hah. Now that things have come to this, why bother pretending? Didn't you plan all this just to humiliate me in front of all those influential people? Wasn't it just so that I would beg you for help and satisfy your disgusting selfishness?"Whitney continued to laugh bitterly as she wiped her tears away.She could not figure out why the man she had been with for three years would treat her like this.Sebastian could not stop himself from raising his brows.So, this was how she thought of him.Everything he had done for her the last three years—all of his efforts and contributions—had been for nothing!"Is that what you think of me?" Sebastian asked as he stared at Whitney with a serious gaze.Whitney did not reply, but her icy expression conveyed her answer.Sebastian snorted self-deprecatingly and shook

    Isabel's expression turned grim as she frowned.Sebastian swiftly declared, "If Mr. Whitaker Senior doesn't wake up in five minutes, I'll take full responsibility for everything!""Alright! You said so yourself. This has nothing to do with Whitney," Fergus proclaimed as he sneered to himself."It has nothing to do with her," Sebastian said coldly.Whitney and Mabel just so happened to come in at this time, and when Whitney heard what Sebastian said, her expression changed.Fergus quickly clambered over to Whitney and said eagerly, "You heard him, Whitney. Sebastian's taking full responsibility for the situation. If anything happens to Mr. Whitaker Senior, it won't have anything to do with you. You don't have to worry anymore.""Thank you so much, Mr. Cobb," Mabel said quietly.Everything would be fine if the situation had nothing to do with Whitney and Frostwave Corporation.It was just as well that the bastard Sebastian took all the responsibility for what happened!However,

    "Violet!" Candy stared at Violet in terror, because the latter now looked frightening. The flesh and skin on her face were peeling off, and pale white bone was already showing on her chin.It wouldn't take long before she became a living skeleton.Violet glanced at her hands, of which only bone was left. There was a look of shock in her eyes, but she still had another trick up her sleeve.As she cackled sinisterly, her body began recovering rapidly. All her skin was growing back, and the new flesh and skin that grew was as smooth as that of a baby's."Young man, do you really think that I would have no way to break that spell?" Violet looked at her newly grown skin and flesh and laughed triumphantly. Sebastian waggled a finger slightly and asked, "Break it? It's not that easy. That was just the beginning!"As soon as he finished, he moved in a flash and leaped down from the roof. All Violet saw was a shadow flashing past her.There was a series of resounding slaps, and Violet f

    At the same time, clouds of dark energy flowed toward Sebastian and enveloped him.He felt a strong, restrictive power enveloped him, which made it hard to even lift a finger.It was a mystic spell unique to Violet. Anyone enveloped by the dark energy would have no choice but to stand still and wait for death to come, no matter how powerful they were. A mystic spell like that was similar to the one Sebastian had just displayed, but it was much more bizarre and harder to detect. Countless experts in the mystic spells had died from Violet's move. In the end, she had sucked up all their blood essence, and they had become nutrition for her.That was why she was sure that Sebastian would suffer the same fate. "Young man, are you unable to speak now?" Violet taunted as she circled Sebastian. She now felt that Sebastian was like a lamb to the slaughter—she could do with him as she pleased.However, she didn't want to let him die too quickly. He had committed an unforgivable sin in

    The dark green liquid was venom!Sebastian hastily leaped onto the roof of a villa to dodge the attack."Hey, you old hag! Aren't you afraid that you'll end up without any descendants if you treat your granddaughter-in-law like that?" Sebastian questioned mockingly. Violet wasn't angry at all. She laughed instead and said, "Ballard, your reverse psychology won't work on me. Let's see how you kill her!"She cackled again.Human life meant nothing to her, and Candy was just a puppet that the Berkeleys had found. They only wanted to use her body to raise the snake curse until it took over her body completely, after which she could give birth to a true snake spirit baby for them!"Don't regret it, you old hag!"Sebastian suddenly raised his hand, and a strong force immediately weighed down heavily on them."Restrain!"He pressed his palms down in the air as he spoke."Restrain?" A smile had just begun to flash across Violet's face, but then her expression stiffened.The stron

    Sebastian looked up at the shadowy figures, among which there were children. They were probably the Flemin Village inhabitants who had disappeared without a trace overnight 30 years ago!"Not only did you commit murder, you even wanted to imprison them here forever! You're unbelievably cruel! Also, what kind of grudge does your family have against that young woman?" Sebastian asked accusingly as he pointed at Candy.Although Candy had been hostile toward Sebastian from the beginning, he knew that it wasn't out of her own will. It was the will of the snake that had merged with her soul. "You are far too nosy, young man. How do you know the young woman doesn't want to become part of our family? Perhaps she's thrilled at the very thought right now!" Violet cackled. Sebastian took a deep breath. He looked at the shadowy figures around him and at Candy, who was standing at the window."I'll give you one chance," he said. "Let them all go and remove the snake curse from that young wom

    Sebastian let out a turbid breath. He could feel that his strength was much stronger than before. He still wasn't in peak condition, but it was still wonderful news to him. At least he had now restored more than half his powers. Sebastian had just gotten up and stretched when he heard a series of knocks on the door."Mr. Ballard, time to eat!" Scott said tentatively. He was terrified of disturbing him.Sebastian answered, "I'll be out soon!"When Scott saw Sebastian, he realized that the latter no longer looked as pale as he had at first, and there was a slight rosy tinge to his complexion. He smiled and said, "Mr. Ballard, you're looking pretty good today!"Sebastian only smiled impassively but didn't respond. They returned to the Martial Arts Court building, where a large platter of meat had already been placed on the table for Sebastian."Mr. Ballard, we don't have much to eat here. Apart from game, all we have is beef. I was afraid that you wouldn't be accustomed to it,

    Perhaps the tiger's instincts had alerted it to the feeling of danger. "Bind!"Just as the tiger turned to escape into the forest, Sebastian gave a curt command. In an instant, an invisible pressure bound the tiger tightly where it was. The tiger had its back to Sebastian, but it could feel death approaching, and it couldn't help growling mournfully. Sebastian slapped the back of the tiger's head, and he destroyed half the tiger's body instantly."Holy sh—Mr. Ballard!"Scott stared at Sebastian in shock. What he had just witnessed was beyond the scope of his imagination. Even the legends of warriors fighting against tigers had described a life-and-death struggle. However, this particular tiger hadn't been able to fight back against Sebastian at all!Sebastian looked at the glistening heaps of blood and flesh on the ground, and he pulled out a dozen porcelain bottles. He filled five of them with tiger blood, then hacked off a large chunk of tiger meat, which he placed in a p

    Kayden watched Sebastian walk off and gritted his teeth. "Sebastian Ballard! If you dare to return to Acorn City, I'll make sure you die a horrible death!""Mr. Berkeley, there's no need to get yourself worked up over someone like that. Violet said that she would help you deal with him, didn't she?" Candy said icily. Kayden huffed angrily and hurried back to the car. Colton and Jayden followed hastily. …After they entered the forest, Scott led Sebastian to a hill. He pointed at the paw prints on the ground and said, "Look, Mr. Ballard!"Sebastian didn't look in the direction that Scott was pointing at. Instead, he focused warily on the sounds around them. Suddenly, a gust of wind swept over them, bringing the pungent smell of blood. The leaves in the forest rustled noisily as they were battered by the wind."It's coming!" Sebastian said calmly.Scott jumped in fright and hastily retreated behind Sebastian. Cohen looked warily around them. There was an old saying which sai

    Scott seemed used to it and didn't even look up. As he ate, he said to Sebastian, "Mr. Ballard, don't be surprised. This is a common occurrence!"Sebastian glanced at him and took another large bite of beef. He smiled and said, "You're alone here. Aren't you afraid?""Afraid? Is there any use in being afraid?" Scott asked. "To be honest, I've been transferred here for almost three months, and no one's come to replace me yet. They told me at the beginning that we'd be changed once a month!"Then, he turned and gave Cohen a meaningful look."Someone will come and replace you next month," Cohen said, although it was obviously an empty promise.At that moment, a black SUV drove into Flemin Village and headed straight toward the villas.At the entrance to the neighborhood where the villas were, a few young men and women got out of the car. One of the young women was supporting a young man, who was limping. They walked toward the villas. Among the young men and women, a few of them w

    In the process of the investigation, the police had discovered that some of the houses in the village still had their lights on and that there was still food cooking on the stoves. However, the people in the houses seemed to have all disappeared into thin air.From then on, Flemin Village had become a deserted place that no one dared to live in.As for the villas, no one knew when they had been built, nor did anyone know who the owners of the villas were. However, the sound of ghostly wails and screams could often be heard inside. Even the deacons from the local Martial Arts Court wouldn't go near them if they could help it. It was rumored that all the wronged spirits of the villagers were in those villas. Someone had once looked in the windows of the villas in the middle of the night, and they had been filled with fearful human faces. However, during the day, the villas were unusually quiet. There was no sign of human activity in any of them."Mr. Gabbard, you seem to be ve
