Wesley's face darkened, and he grinned menacingly. "Kid, you're quite bold! This world isn't as you perceive it. Those who are reckless are bound to meet their downfall! Kill him!"As he finished speaking, over a dozen men swiftly rushed out from behind Wesley, brandishing batons and roaring as they charged toward Sebastian.These men were all trained by Wesley. However, before they could get close to Sebastian, he had already made the first move.With a swift movement, a dark shadow flashed before their eyes. Then, Sebastian's fist landed squarely on the chest of one of the men.Before they could comprehend what had happened, the chest of the one struck collapsed, leaving a deep imprint of Sebastian's fist. He sprayed out a large amount of blood as he flew backward!Simultaneously, several men behind him were sent flying, crashing onto the ground.In the next moment, the men couldn't even get close to Sebastian before being blasted away by a shockwave. They sprawled on the groun
Even the green bricks on the floor cracked!Wesley clutched his chest, spitting out a mouthful of blood."Mr. Mitchell!" The surrounding men exclaimed in shock, astonished. Wesley coughed violently, slamming his hand on the ground and soaring into the air before landing again.He glared coldly at Sebastian as he took out a dark pill from his pocket and swallowed it. "You've thoroughly angered me, boy! Today, I'll tear you apart!" he said coldly.With that, Wesley suddenly gathered his energy, causing his robes to billow.Wave after wave of energy erupted from Wesley's body, creating a ripple on the ground. The green bricks underfoot burst!Seeing this, the surrounding men wore expressions of horror."My goodness! Mr. Mitchell is unleashing his power!""So, this is Mr. Mitchell's strength? Truly terrifying!""That brat is doomed. He injured Mr. Mitchell, so he'll have to pay with his life."Amidst their discussion, Sebastian remained calm."Energy manipulation?" Sebasti
Sebastian frowned as he looked at Tony and said coldly, "Who are you?""You don't even know me, yet you dare to disrupt my affairs?" Tony chuckled menacingly, looking icy. "That old bastard Howard managed to find a greenhorn like you. Seems like he's getting desperate."Sebastian's expression changed immediately as he understood.This was the head of the Wright family from Janover, who had attempted to assassinate Howard several times."So, it's you," Sebastian said coldly.Tony sneered disdainfully, then continued, "Kid, if you can defeat Mr. Mitchell, you must be powerful. How about joining me? I can guarantee you wealth and prosperity. What do you say?"Sebastian's expression remained emotionless as he refused, "I'm sorry, but you're not worthy."Tony's face darkened instantly. "Kid, you're bold! You're the first person to speak to me like this. Aren't you worried you'll end up floating in the river tomorrow morning?" he threatened ominously.Sebastian remained indifferent.
"Touching him means disrespecting me!" Hans roared.Tony's face darkened at Hans' words, anger bubbling inside him. He didn't expect Hans to be so adamant.Benefactor and savior? Tony was confused.According to his investigation, Sebastian was just a small figure in Steinberg, and he also divorced his rich wife without taking anything from her. This meant that he should have no power of status.Why was Hans here because of him?Tony was puzzled."Tony! What are you waiting for? Release the hostage! If Mr. Ballard's ex-wife is harmed in any way, don't even think about leaving Steinberg!" Hans shouted.Tony was speechless, and his face turned livid.This was the first time someone had ever commanded him!He was the head of the Wright family, and everyone respected him anywhere he went!But today, he was first disrespected by an unknown young man. Then, he was scolded by someone like Hans, an underworld scum who couldn't even show his face in public. Tony was seething with ang
Whitney's head suddenly throbbed. She quickly covered her head while hissing in pain. Sebastian said emotionlessly, "I just gave you acupuncture to promote your blood flow. Avoid strenuous activity, refrain from thinking too much, and rest for a few days, and you'll be fine."Hans also seized the opportunity to say, "Ms. Sutton, if it weren't for Mr. Ballard, you might have lost your life. It's evident that he cares about you.""Cares about me?" Whitney was taken aback, looking at Sebastian with a complex expression.Sebastian furrowed his brow and said, "Hans, didn't you say you had some matters to attend to?""Oh? Yes, yes, I do. Sorry to intrude. Let's leave the two of you alone," Hans quickly responded, leading his men away.After a moment, the living room quieted down. Whitney sat on the sofa, feeling nervous and uneasy as she watched Sebastian put away the silver needles, preparing to leave. She quickly asked, "Sebastian… um, earlier, was it you who saved me?" Even t
"Mr. Cobb, you're too kind. With your status and strength, even Mr. Wagner has to show you respect. I really admire you," Mabel flattered.Fergus smiled as he played along.The incident at the cruise party last time almost blew his cover.But this time, clearly, Mabel and Whitney misunderstood. It was better to just go along with the misunderstanding, as there was no loss anyway.Whitney also smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Cobb.""Whitney, even if it's the richest man in Steinberg, as long as you're in trouble, I can get in touch with them for you!" Fergus said, showing off.Sebastian, who was about to leave, heard these words and chuckled coldly."Sebastian, what are you laughing at?!" Mabel was very displeased and said, "If it weren't for Mr. Cobb, Ms. Sutton would have been in trouble tonight! How dare you laugh? You useless scum!"Sebastian countered, "So, you think Hans got involved because of Fergus?"Mabel frowned disapprovingly, "Well, who else could it be? Certainly
Today marked the launch of Frostwave Corporation's latest beauty and skincare product. The Iceheart facial mask, propelled by Frostwave Corporation's marketing efforts, was quickly sold out upon its release. Due to significant discounts, long queues formed across major malls and counters in Steinberg. In her office, Whitney wore a confident smile as she reviewed the data reports Mabel handed her. Within half a day, the facial mask surged into the top five of Steinberg's facial mask sales chart. "Ms. Sutton, given the current momentum, this mask could top the sales chart in just three days," Mabel exclaimed excitedly.The tremendous success of this facial mask could undoubtedly elevate Frostwave Corporation to higher levels. Whitney set aside the reports and gazed through the large glass window at the bustling cityscape with towering skyscrapers. She calmly said, "We can do better. Allocate all of the group's current promotional resources to this facial mask. I want this ma
In the afternoon, Arctic Snow Mask officially set up its temporary counters in major shopping malls in Steinberg and began distributing trial samples. However, the situation wasn't optimistic. This was because, throughout the morning, the malls in Steinberg were plastered with advertisements and banners promoting Iceheart facial masks. The malls even set up counters at the busiest spots, with each counter surrounded by crowds of people. Batch after batch of the product was quickly sold out, with continuous restocking. As a result, Arctic Snow Mask's counters were left deserted, with no one showing interest.Soon, word reached Mabel's ears. Upon seeing the video footage, Mabel smirked, mocking him, "Is Sebastian out of his mind? Promoting his facial mask at a time like this is nothing short of suicidal."She immediately ordered, "Arrange to ramp up our promotional efforts. Also, arrange some netizens to discredit the Arctic Snow Mask!" After briefing her staff, Mabel turned
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
