"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,

    Nathan immediately opened his eyes. His body felt completely relaxed, and the tightness in his chest was gone. There was also a warm sensation throughout his body."I'm fine," Nathan assured her with a smile.Isabel wiped her tears away and exhaled in relief. Then, she quickly turned to Sebastian and said, "Thank you so much, Dr. Ballard."Sebastian smiled faintly and said, "It's nothing."All the guests were flabbergasted.They did not expect Sebastian to be a medical expert.Standing among the crowd, Fergus had an unpleasant expression. The words he said earlier were still ringing in his ears. It was now a slap in his face."Thank you so much, Dr. Ballard. I will never forget this. If you ever need anything, feel free to get in touch with me or Izzy." Nathan thanked Sebastian with a nod.Sebastian returned to gesture and said, "You're too kind, Mr. Whitaker Senior. On account of your great contributions to the country and your efforts to protect the safety of all citizens, I

    "What are you implying?" Sebastian asked with a darkened expression.Fergus sneered and said darkly, "What am I implying? Why is the Goldcrow pill only effective when combined with your acupuncture technique? Why is it poisonous otherwise? Who do you think would believe your words?"In an instant, the crowd started murmuring among themselves.Meanwhile, Whitney was uncomfortable to see Sebastian defending Rosalie.In the past, he only belonged to her.Noticing the muttering crowd, Fergus gained more confidence. He tugged on his suit jacket before scoffing. "What's the matter, Sebastian? Aren't you going to explain yourself to everyone?""Why should I explain myself?" Sebastian asked indifferently."Haha! I'm guessing you can't think of an explanation, huh?"Fergus chuckled before shouting to Nathan, "Mr. Whitaker Senior, I think this punk set the whole thing up! He did it on purpose just to get close to you and earn your gratitude!"Before Nathan could say anything, Isabel wal

    Hank and Taylor broke out into a cold sweat when they saw what had happened. Terence was like a god to them!Who would have thought that Terence, who had had the upper hand just a moment ago, would have stood vacantly on the spot just because Sebastian had thrust the rusty bronze mirror at him? He had just stood still and waited for Sebastian to come and kill him!"Run, hurry!" Before he could think too much about it, Taylor growled in a low voice and turned to flee to the foot of the mountain.Hank only came to his senses when Taylor was already far away from him. He was about to go after him, but he had only gone a few steps when a ghostly, feminine figure appeared and blocked his path."You—" The moment Hank turned, his soul almost left his body from fright at what he saw.Only a moment had passed since Terence's murder, but the eerie woman in front of him had already cut off more than a dozen heads. Whenever she cut a head off, dark energy would be sucked into her emerald

    Terence wielded his sword. Wherever the blade pointed, the air was sliced apart instantly!Sebastian forced himself to concentrate and raised his sword to shield his chest!There was a clang as Terence's sword crashed down on Sebastian's, and sparks flew up at once. Sebastian couldn't help but take a few steps back. He felt the energy roiling inside him and almost spat out a mouthful of blood."My lord!" Nina felt extremely anxious when she saw that Sebastian was at a disadvantage. She ignored Sebastian's previous command and leaped over to him to hold him up. "My lord, are you alright?" Nina asked in concern. Sebastian was slightly flushed, and he looked as if his energy was becoming erratic. He shook his head slightly and pushed Nina away. He handed Whitney to her and said, "Protect Whitney well. If anything happens to her, come and see me with your head!" Nina turned to Rose, who was beside her. She wanted to protest, but Sebastian waved a hand and said, "Lyanna was hur

    "It's a pity that you'll never understand," Sebastian said.Terence's face flushed. Who would've expected a young man in his twenties like Sebastian to be so perceptive? He was even more advanced than Terence in the Way of Wisdom!"My lord, I was trapped in the front yard just now. No matter how I walked, I couldn't get through the door. That's why…" Lyanna trailed off and hung her head, looking shamefaced.Technically, she was a spirit. How had she fallen prey to the Bewitchment spell? Even Lyanna was puzzled."It's the Soulbell!" Sebastian turned abruptly to look at Terence.Lyanna felt that she couldn't have been trapped by the Bewitchment spell because she didn't actually have a body. Meanwhile, Nina was a thousand-year-old snake deity, and ordinary formations couldn't contain her at all.Therefore, there was only one possibility. Terence had external help. The Soulbell was the only possible explanation.Nina and Rose arrived as well."Protect Whitney," Sebastian said befor

    Sebastian eyed the middle-aged man and laughed coldly. "You surprised me too. Do you want to be a sacrifice for my sword?"Sebastian gently shook Purity, which he was holding. Immediately, it felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck the entire yard!Hank and the others began mocking him at once. "Ballard, you are bold out of ignorance. Do you know who is standing in front of you? Let me tell you, it's the seventh elder of Sword Towers, Mr. Manderly."One of them added, "Consider it an honor for you to be killed by Mr. Manderly."Sebastian raised an eyebrow and squinted at Terence as he said, "If I'm guessing correctly, Nina and the others must have fallen into your trap. That's why they haven't arrived yet. Right?""You're observant!" Terence smiled faintly and said, "If you hadn't stepped into Draconem Cathedral right before I did, you would be stuck in a Bewitchment trap, just like them."Honestly, it's a miracle for someone of your age to have this level of training. However,

    While Taylor stood there, stunned, Sebastian bore down on him. Upon seeing Sebastian raising his fist to hit him once more, Taylor hastily pulled himself together and met Sebastian's punch with his own."Are… Are you all stupid?" Blood was seeping out of the back of Taylor's hand as he looked at the people behind him."You've always liked fighting alone, Taylor. We were afraid that we would spoil your fun." Despite what Hank said, he turned on his heel and sent a spinning kick at Sebastian to block his path.Sebastian felt a strong force rushing toward him, and he immediately stopped in the midst of pursuing Taylor. He moved aside and aimed a roundhouse kick at Hank. Yet another wave of energy exploded, and fear flashed across Hank's face. The blow had seemed plain, but it embodied the mysterious principles of martial arts.Even an expert who was two levels higher than Hank would have had his bones broken by that kick, let alone someone who was only at the first level of the Ce

    The building where Whitney had been imprisoned was now as bright as day as the spotlights shone on it.Sebastian untied her calmly and helped her up to walk out. "Sebastian, forget about me. I'm only going to be a burden to you, and I'll only hurt you." Whitney was already very weak. Even walking seemed very difficult for her. There was no way that they would be able to escape the clutches of the people around them in her current condition. Sebastian sighed. "I see that you still don't trust me." Despite this, there was a gentle look in his eyes when he looked at her."Sebastian, I—" Before Whitney could finish, Sebastian put a finger to her lips to shush her."Let's go out," he said in a tone that brooked no argument. Whitney was startled for a moment and was about to break free of Sebastian's support when a large, firm hand gripped her arm tightly. Sebastian walked out of the cramped meditation building with Whitney by his side, looking upright and noble next to her."I

    "My lord, are you going to Draconem Cathedral?" Nina and the others hastily ran to catch up when they saw Sebastian walking quickly downstairs."My lord, if we rush there overnight to rescue Whitney, we might be walking into a trap. If so, the consequences will be dire." Lyanna tried to persuade him.It would be hard to win when there were so many people on the other side. Even if they were all at the fifth level of the Celestial realm, it didn't mean that the other side would not have any experts.Besides, the terrain around Draconem Cathedral was very complicated. How could they be sure that the enemy had not set a trap there?"We must rescue Whitney today," Sebastian said heavily."My lord, the area around Draconem Cathedral is very dangerous," Nina said. "If we fall into a trap set by Sword Towers, we won't be able to rescue Ms. Sutton. In fact, we'll be putting her in more danger.""I can't bother about all that. Even if I have to walk through a sea of fire, I must rescue Wh

    Startled, Sebastian hastily pulled out his phone and called Whitney. However, he couldn't get through.He hissed sharply, and his heart sank. Had Sword Towers really kidnapped Whitney?He found Blake's number and called him at once. After a long time, Blake finally answered. He said, "Mr. Ballard—""Blake, contact the Warrior League men who are responsible for protecting Whitney!" On the other end of the phone, Blake remained silent for several seconds before saying guiltily, "Sebastian, they're already… they're…""Already what?" Sebastian asked urgently."They're all dead. Mr. Jorson and I are currently pursuing the murderers and trying to track Ms. Sutton down," Blake said heavily.Sebastian was thunderstruck. His phone fell onto the floor.After he had calmed down slightly, his hand tightened around the middle-aged man's neck.The man felt it becoming more difficult to breathe, and he began flailing around. However, the more he struggled, the harder it was to breathe."

    How could he know anything about the Pinnacle Sect?Besides, the stall owners had all appeared at the same time as Angus had, which made Sebastian even more suspicious. When he saw that the middle-aged man had three holes on the back of his hand, Sebastian had finally understood.The middle-aged man had disguised himself as Silas, and he had acted as if he was on the brink of death.The middle aged man suddenly burst into laughter. He stared at Sebastian and nodded slightly as he said, "You've got a good eye.""Tell me who you are." Sebastian looked at the middle-aged man with his hands behind his back."We're from Sword Towers! We have come on the orders of Mr. Manderly to take your head!" the old man announced confidently."Even if he had come himself, there's no guarantee that he would be able to take me. What makes lackeys like you so confident?" Sebastian asked in a relaxed tone.The middle-aged man shook his head slightly and said, "Hmph! You've been infected with the fa
