Author: Wendell Mayhew
"Betty Warner, the daughter of the richest family in Jovenshire, would like to propose to Mr. Ballard. She's offering 77.77 million and a publicly-listed company as a token of her sincerity!"

"Luisa Albright, the daughter of the premiere family in Caevon, would like to propose to Mr. Ballard. She's offering two statues of pure gold that weigh over 100 tons in total as a token of her sincerity!"

"Cora Sutcliffe, the daughter of the Duke of Southam from Draepolis, would like to propose to Mr. Ballard. She's offering ten foreign islands worth 10 billion as a token of her sincerity!"

The courthouse in Steinberg was an unassuming building, but for some reason, it was unusually bustling and fraught with tension today!

Luxury cars lined the street outside the courthouse, and beside them stood prominent figures who could rattle the fabric of society with just a snap of their fingers!

There were individuals from financial oligarchies with hundreds of billions in net worths, underworld kingpins with mighty forces under their commands, members of the elite families who had been around for centuries, as well as generals of armies with soldiers numbered in the hundreds of thousands …

Fully armed soldiers even surrounded the courthouse!

It could not get any more secure than this.

At this moment, 99 powerful figures and their respective daughters had gathered in Steinberg, and they came bearing valuable gifts.

They were all looking at the figure standing at the courthouse entrance—waiting for his divorce to be finalized so that they could propose to him!

"Mr. Ballard, this is …"

Right now, all of the intimidatingly powerful figures in the nation seemed to have gone into a frenzy as they clambered to offer up the gifts they had prepared.

Behind them stood the beautiful young women who came from various prominent backgrounds.

"Get the hell away from me, all of you!" Sebastian Ballard roared in annoyance.

The big shots trembled in fear and scrambled to the side. They were afraid of getting on Sebastian's bad side.

Sebastian was a man skilled in numerous ways, including the field of medicine.

Few dared to claim they would wrestle a life back from the clutches of death, but Sebastian was the exception!

He was someone that even the Grim Reaper was wary of.

Sebastian took a deep breath. As he stood at the courthouse entrance, his mood was somber.

He and his wife, Whitney Sutton, had agreed to finalize their divorce proceedings today.

Just then, a red Mercedes-Benz drove up the street and stopped outside the courthouse.

A gorgeous woman with long hair and an aloof expression emerged from the car. Her black dress fluttered against her slender legs.

"You're here, honey."

Upon seeing the woman, Sebastian walked up to her with a smile.

She was Whitney Sutton, Sebastian's wife of three years and the CEO of Frostwave Corporation, a company based in Steinberg.

Apart from that, she was also a renowned CEO in Steinberg's pharmaceutical industry. She had a net worth of over one billion and had been on the cover of Epoch magazine before.

All in all, Whitney was highly acclaimed in Steinberg.

At the moment, she was accompanied by a female secretary dressed in black.

When Whitney approached and saw the luxury cars parked outside the courthouse entrance, she was taken aback.

Gasping to herself, she recognized some of the women, including Betty, Luisa, and Cora. She was aware of their family backgrounds.

What was going on today? Why had so many influential figures and esteemed socialites gathered outside the courthouse in Steinberg?

After taking a deep breath, Whitney looked at Sebastian with an emotionless expression.

"Let's go in," she said curtly.

Sebastian stiffened for a moment. With a wry smile, he asked, "Honey, can we not get a divorce?"

Whitney's tone remained icy. "Stop joking around. I'm busy. Let's just go in and get the divorce over with. You can keep the villa in Drakon Harbor and your car. On top of that, I'll give you another five million in cash.

"If you think that's not enough, feel free to tell me what you want. I'll do my best to fulfill your demands."

Whitney's heartless response made Sebastian feel as if he had taken a dunk in a pool of icy water.

He and Whitney had been married for three years, but alas, their marriage was ending in divorce.

"Do you think marriage is something that can be quantified with money?" Sebastian asked.

Taking a deep breath, he continued, "Don't forget that I'm the one who founded Frostwave Corporation! Without me, you wouldn't be able to stand in front of me acting all high and mighty!"

Whitney's brows creased as she replied, "Sebastian, you know full well we fell out of love a long time ago. Neither one of us benefits from dragging out this marriage.

"Just agree to the divorce. Consider it my fault for breaking our marriage vows. Let's end things amicably."

Sebastian snorted before growling, "Back then, your family, the Suttons, were on the brink of bankruptcy with a mountain of debt to pay off. I'm the one who founded Frostwave Corporation and helped the Suttons survive their crisis.

"Thanks to me, they even managed to rise to the top of the pharmaceutical industry in Steinberg now. It's only been three years. The Sutton family has regained their wealth, and you have become a highly regarded CEO. And now, you're trying to get rid of me … Am I just a stepping stone to you?"

Then, he declared, "I refuse to get a divorce!"

Just then, Whitney's secretary snapped sharply, "Don't push it, Sebastian! Ms. Sutton is a CEO who's in high demand in Steinberg's pharmaceutical industry! She has a net worth of over one billion, and she has even appeared on the cover of Epoch magazine!

"She's far out of your league! With her looks and accomplishments, she won't be stuck here in Steinberg. She will one day soar to greater heights and be respected by everyone in the world!"

The secretary continued, "As for you, you're nothing but an ignorant and ordinary person who will never amount to anything! Ask yourself honestly, do you think you're worthy of Ms. Sutton?"

    "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

    "Are you insulting me?" Mabel fumed."Who else, if not you? You came on behalf of Frostwave Corporation? What makes you qualified to represent them? Your shamelessness?"Mabel ground her teeth in anger. Reining in her fury, she growled, "I know you're upset because of the divorce, Sebastian, but you should know that things won't work out between you and Ms. Sutton. You'll only be dragging her down if you stay with her!"Plus, you're the one who has done wrong by Ms. Sutton, not the other way around! You said that you were preparing to give Ms. Sutton the Goldcrow pill as a gift for your third wedding anniversary. Are you refusing to keep your word now just because you've divorced? Are you even a man?"She continued, "I'm telling you right now! Whether you like it or not, you're going to hand over the formula for the Goldcrow pill today! If anything, I can just tell Ms. Sutton to take you to court. After all, the formula counts as marital property, doesn't it? The court will declare

    Frowning, Whitney asked curiously, "Did you manage to get Dr. Pike to join us?"Mabel shook her head and replied, "No. Dr. Pike said he wanted to retreat from society and focus on honing his medical expertise."Whitney rubbed her temples and sighed.One of her plans to expand the company was by hiring Jonah to be Frostwave Corporation's consultant doctor. It looked like they had to set that plan aside for now."But, I got the formula for the Goldcrow pill, Ms. Sutton!"Mabel sounded extremely pleased with herself as she sent the formula Sebastian gave her to Whitney through her phone.Whitney frowned and asked, "The formula for the Goldcrow pill? What's that?"Mabel swiftly explained everything, and she even played a recording of her call with Jonah."Is the Goldcrow pill really that incredible? Even Dr. Pike wouldn't be able to create something like it?" Whitney exclaimed. She was dumbstruck.Mabel hummed in confirmation and nodded before adding, "Now that we have the formu

    At Keanu's age, he no longer placed any importance on pride. What mattered most was being able to continue living. Even Phineas was shocked when Keanu knelt. After all, he was the Keanu Norris!With a single thought, the countless shadows behind Sebastian disappeared at once, while he appeared in front of Keanu."Didn't you just say that you would destroy my whole family?" Sebastian asked coldly."I… I would never dare to do so!"Keanu broke out in a cold sweat.Sebastian was already so powerful despite being so young. It had made Keanu think of a name that everyone in the Nine Sects was terrified of—the Sacred Medicine Society! The only reasonable explanation was that Sebastian was from the Sacred Medicine Society! At the very least, he was probably an apprentice of someone mysterious in that sect.Sebastian slapped Keanu and asked icily, "Do the Sapientia have privileges?"Keanu shook his head hastily, and blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth. Sebastian's slap had

    Keanu was furious. This was the first time someone hadn't trembled after hearing his name, especially when it was a young man in his 20s!"Since you know my name, aren't you going to admit to your crimes and accept your punishment?"Phineas hastily approached him and said, "Mr. Norris, this—"Before he could finish, Keanu silenced him with a slap, sending him flying eight feet away.Phineas saw stars, and he struggled for a while on the ground, unable to get up.Sebastian glanced at Phineas and said coldly, "Norris, apologize to him now and it won't be too late. Otherwise, your luck ends here!"Keanu glanced at him and said, "You brat! This day next year is going to be your death anniversary. If you have any last words, say them now!"Keanu slowly pulled out his sword and pointed it at Sebastian."Last words?" Sebastian scoffed and strode forward. In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Keanu.He had moved so fast that it surpassed Keanu's imagination. How could a you

    Phineas had wanted to arrive first so he could stop Sebastian from killing Ezekiel."So what if he's Ezekiel's mentor? Does that mean that the Sapientia can do as they please without getting punished?" Sebastian asked icily.Phineas broke into a cold sweat and said, "Mr. Ballard, it's not wise to offend Mr. Norris. He's in the top 100 of the Nine Sects. You might not understand the difference here, but Ezekiel isn't even in the top 5,000."Sebastian scoffed. "Well, I'd like to meet Mr. Norris, then. I want to see just how impressive he is."He wasn't the only one who was highly skilled. He also had Lyanna and Nina with him. Even if a deity had come down to the earth, Sebastian would have wanted to meet them, let alone Keanu.As they spoke, a black car stopped at the entrance to the estate. An old man with a white beard who was dressed in red Dainist robes got out of the car haughtily. As he walked into the estate, he shouted, "Ezekiel, come out here on your knees to greet me!"

    Sebastian smiled slightly and asked, "You understand now, don't you? Purity isn't a sword that anyone can use. If you want to use it, you must first be strong enough."As he spoke, Sebastian spread his fingers out, and Purity flew back into his hand as if it were alive.The moment it landed in Sebastian's palm, lightning crackled along its blade, and it emitted a pale blue glow again. That was the moment when Ezekiel realized that the problem wasn't with Purity but with its wielder.Ezekiel couldn't help staring at Sebastian in shock. Wouldn't that mean that Sebastian's powers were above those of the Sapientia's leader?"If you understand, you can also go and die now."Sebastian smiled thinly and waved his hand. A bolt of lightning shot forth. With a dull thud, over a dozen heads fell to the ground at the same time. Percival and his men collapsed alongside them.After that, Lyanna and Nina worked together. Apart from a few local Warriors from Steinberg, all the Sapientia's ap

    At that moment, all Percival could think about was ensuring his survival.Sebastian glanced coldly at him and smiled. "Mr. Chard, that's not what you said before."He had no intention of letting Percival and the others leave alive.Maximus was just a clown at most. Even if he was permitted to leave, he couldn't endanger Sebastian, Whitney, or Rosalie. Percival and the others were different. They were used to throwing their weight around. Although they had submitted to Sebastian today because of the circumstances, they were sure to hold a grudge against him for it.In the future, the lives of those around Sebastian would be threatened the moment he let down his guard."Mr. Ballard, I really was talking nonsense. You're our league leader. I'll be sure to keep our agreement from now on," Percival said, groveling so hard to Sebastian that he grazed his forehead. Blood trickled down his cheeks."Mr. Ballard, we made a mistake too! We… we all came because we received the Martial Go

    "The person who's going to kill you!" Lyanna answered, smiling calmly at Ezekiel.The elite martial arts families and the members of the sects from Steinberg had all retreated far away in fear. Unfortunately, the space in the yard was limited, and they were soon backed into a corner with nowhere else to go.While they cowered in fear, Nina turned into her true form. A huge snake reared up more than 40 feet in the air and began voraciously devouring the corpses on the ground, its red tongue flicking in and out. The estate had become a living hell.Percival wet his pants in fear. What was going on? This wasn't how things were supposed to go at all!Shouldn't they have brought the women with Sebastian over here and forced Sebastian to hand Purity over before slashing him to death? After that, they would have divided Sebastian's women and assets among them!Why were they the ones being slaughtered and eaten instead?"M-Mr. Harton… what should we do?" Percival stuttered.He was tru

    "H-How dare you?" Ezekiel had turned pale with anger.How could Sebastian have flayed and removed every bone of a Sapientia member? Was there still justice in the world? Was there any respect for the elders?"Hmph! You want to harm the women around me, yet you won't permit me to enact a small punishment on you and your men?" Sebastian asked, laughing scornfully."Sebastian, you bastard. You're defying your elders, and you have no respect for them! The martial arts community is a place where seniority is important!" Ezekiel yelled.Just as he finished speaking, a bolt of white light came to the estate at an extremely high speed. With the white light came a lump of bloody, tattered flesh.Nina had tossed Gaston into the yard."My lord, Lyanna's pulled out all his bones. Please inspect him," Nina said, smiling.That was when everyone noticed the bloody lump on the ground. They only recognized Gaston when they looked closely!There was a strip of red cloth stuck on his body, and he

    Sebastian shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Harton, even if you make me hand it over, you should have a reason to do so."Everyone looked viciously at him.How could he still be so arrogant? He had been relying on Purity to put on a tough act, and he was now surrounded by more than 1,000 people. Could he really break through just by using the sword? "Aiden's tragic death is the reason! You just stood by instead of saving him, and that's the reason too," Ezekiel said coldly. "Yes!" Percival chimed in. "You're the league leader. How could you bear watching him die?" "That's right! What you did is an act of betrayal in the martial arts community!" the other sect leaders chorused. "League leader? Do you really think that I don't know?" Sebastian's gaze swept over Percival and the others. "You formed this so-called league just because you covet Purity. Aiden's death in the arena was his own doing. He was greedy, and he got what he deserved!" As soon as Sebastian's words fel

    Life was tough out in the world. People couldn't do as they pleased just because they were skilled.Wits were the only factor in survival. However, how sharp could a young man in his 20s be?"Mr. Harton, I don't quite understand what you mean. Didn't we already deal with this issue earlier?" Sebastian asked, looking uninterestedly at Ezekiel."Sebastian!" Percival suddenly yelled. "What kind of place do you think this is? Do you think you're still in the martial arts arena?"Percival no longer had enough patience to keep up his act. He would have harmed Sebastian on the way back if he hadn't been wary of Purity, knowing that he might not be a match for it.Now that Sebastian was alone and was surrounded by more than 1,000 people on the estate, how could he still remain so arrogant?"Oh? What kind of place is this? Hell?" Sebastian asked, his gaze sweeping over the crowd around him. A white-haired old man squeezed out of the crowd and pointed at him. "Sebastian, you've been lawl
