A Rosé Corporation employee rushed into Sebastian's office, looking anxious. "Mr. Ballard, here is the latest data." Sebastian took the data and glanced at it. It was dismal.Trial samples - 0 Purchases - 0"Mr. Ballard, what should we do now? The malls have deliberately placed our counters in remote corners. It's clearly targeted against us," the employee exclaimed in distress. "At this rate, our counters might be removed."Sebastian sighed, his expression calm, and he smiled at the employee. "It's okay. If the malls won't let us sell, then we'll set up booths at the entrances, on the streets, in tourist spots. There's always a solution.""Ah? Mr. Ballard, this… isn't this a bit… questionable?" the employee hesitated.Sebastian replied, "There's nothing wrong with selling our products. Just do it. If the mall counters are removed, all employees will go out to sell the masks for the next two days with double pay.""Do we need to advertise and promote like Frostwave Corporation
Sebastian's martial arts prowess and his medical skills from that night had thoroughly impressed Joseph."Mr. Ballard," Joseph greeted with a bow."Mr. Ballard, please come in," Hans welcomed respectfully.Sebastian nodded and didn't hesitate to enter the hall. After taking a seat, he asked, "Mr. Wagner, what's the matter?"Hans glanced at Joseph, sighed, and then spoke with nervousness and concern, "Mr. Ballard, ever since you defeated Elliot, I've had someone inquire about him overseas."We found out that within Elliot's martial arts sect, there's a guy named Geraldine Brown, who is the top disciple of the grandmaster, Mr. Malcolm Duchanes, in Jerose! He's reputed to be the leader of Malcolm's Seven Protectors, possessing extraordinary martial arts skills!""Geraldine?" Sebastian furrowed his brow. "The Seven Protectors under Malcolm? Are they formidable?"Hans replied in a hurry, "They're not just formidable! It's said that Malcolm's overseas reputation was built on the accom
At Sebastian's words, the whole room was stunned! To suppress a grandmaster with just one hand? Such arrogance seemed too much to bear."Mr. Ballard, please don't joke around. After all, he's still a grandmaster," Joseph said awkwardly, reminding him. He thought Sebastian was being overly confident due to his youth.However, Sebastian just smiled faintly and turned to Hans. "Mr. Wagner, if they come tonight, give me a call."With that, Sebastian bid farewell and left.Hans was left somewhat dumbfounded, standing in the living room with Joseph, both staring at each other in disbelief."Mr. Zimmer, do you think Mr. Ballard was speaking the truth? Suppressing a grandmaster with one hand? What kind of martial prowess is that?" Hans asked, partly skeptical.Joseph furrowed his brow, watching Sebastian's departing figure. He replied, "Mr. Wagner, to suppress a grandmaster with one hand, one must possess strength surpassing that of a grandmaster. "It's known in the martial world as
The next moment, the sound of rapid strikes echoed inside the small shop. Sebastian's blessed pen landed precisely on Lorelai's arms and legs."Raise it higher!""Kick more accurately.""No, that's not right. Your force is off.""Again!"For a while, Sebastian's reprimands filled the small shop.A few minutes later, Lorelai was defeated. Her fair arms and legs were covered in red marks. To an outsider, it might seem like she had engaged in some intense activity. Finally, Lorelai sat on the ground, hugging her knees, tears streaming down her face. It was the first time in a long while that she felt so humiliated. She was utterly powerless in the face of Sebastian's relentless attacks. Not only that, she was also harshly criticized.Shaking his head, Sebastian sighed, "Ms. Turner, your martial arts skills are quite ordinary. Who taught you? You should ask for a refund."Hearing this, Lorelai became indignant. With red eyes, she exclaimed, "Just wait! I'll tell my master about
Hearing the commotion, Sebastian rushed out with a few of his staff."What are you doing?" Sebastian shouted with a frown.The couple who wanted to enter the company saw Sebastian and the others and asked, "Are you the boss here?""Yes, I am," replied Sebastian coldly."You're the boss? Look at my girlfriend's face! Her skin is rotting because of your mask!" A muscular man pointed at a woman with a terrible skin condition."I also used the mask produced by your company, and my face is now full of red rashes! Your company is a complete trash!" Another girl walked up and said, taking off her mask and showing her skin. It was horrible.Following that, two or three women stepped forward, tearfully recounting how they had used the Arctic Snow Mask produced by Rosé Corporation, only to have their faces ruined. Some experienced mild symptoms like redness and itching, while others suffered from blistering, ulceration, and pus formation. They all came seeking justice."It's all becau
"Yes," answered Sebastian.Meanwhile, the people onlookers were clamoring. Their words were filled with sarcasm and mockery. "Holy shit, this guy is really cocky.""The woman's face is almost a goner! How is he gonna cure her?""Haha! He's probably just boasting. Let's see him embarrass himself."Rejuvenation skill? They'd never heard of that.If there was such a thing, then everyone would remain youthful forever!At that moment, Sebastian quietly murmured a few words to the employee beside him, who, upon hearing them, hurriedly ran off. The burly man quickly inquired, "Where did she go?" "To prepare the medicinal ingredients for facial treatment," Sebastian replied casually. In less than ten minutes, the female employee returned panting. She had purchased the required ingredients from the nearby herb shop. Soon after, onlookers watched as Sebastian somehow acquired an electric pot and tossed all the ingredients into it to boil. In under half an hour, Sebastian lifted
Seeing Sebastian looking calm, the burly man snorted. "Mr. Ballard, it's almost five minutes now. Are you not even nervous?""Why should I be?" Sebastian smiled.The muscular man said, "Very well! This is what a boss should be like! We shall see then!"Then, the five minutes were up.The man quickly asked his girlfriend to wash the concoction away.When the surrounding crowd saw the woman's clean face, they were utterly shocked."Oh my god! Her face is cured!""Look at her skin! She's glowing!"There was a total uproar!Everyone couldn't help but marvel at the woman's healed complexion and the medicine Sebastian had just concocted. What was once a severely damaged face was miraculously restored to its former state in just five minutes after applying the concoction. This concoction must possess the miraculous ability of rejuvenating the skin! It was truly incredible. Even the burly man was dumbfounded upon witnessing the restoration of the woman's previously ruined cheeks
"So, may I ask, how is it possible that the same medicinal ingredients with the same formula can cause facial damage in some cases and heal it in others?" A commotion erupted, and discussions ensued. The onlookers widened their eyes to inspect the medicinal ingredients list and formula. Sure enough, they were identical! Now, the crowd erupted into chatter."What's going on?""It's the same medicinal ingredients and formula. Aren't these people just intentionally causing trouble?""No need to question it anymore. It's crystal clear!"In an instant, the burly man, the woman, and several others with facial issues all looked flustered. Seeing their scheme exposed, the burly man hastily tried to defuse the situation with a forced smile, "It's possible, maybe we made a mistake… We should leave now!""Yes, maybe we made a mistake," the others chimed in, trying to follow suit. Seeing the situation turning against them, the woman turned to flee."Did I say you guys can leave?" Seb
"It's a good thing I was here tonight. You may not be so lucky next time," Lyanna said. She got up to leave, but Rosalie rose hurriedly and called after her, "Wait!""Is there anything else?" Lyanna turned her head slightly and fixed her beautiful eyes on Rosalie."What kind of person is Sebastian? I mean…" After Lyanna had told her who she was, Rosalie felt as if her thoughts were in turmoil. Even Sebastian, whom she had always loved and admired, had suddenly become unfamiliar to her.If Sebastian had just been a traditional medicine doctor, she could have accepted it. However, now Sebastian was keeping a female spirit around him. Not only that, the spirit was his servant. This was beyond the scope of Rosalie's understanding. Sebastian was rapidly becoming like a riddle to her."Have you heard of sages? Mr. Ballard is probably like them," Lyanna said. In a flash, she had disappeared without a trace.Rosalie remained quiet for a long time before she started the engine once mor
The short, fat man who had smashed up Rosalie's car window tossed his rock aside and hurried over. His eyes were bulging as he looked greedily at the beautiful woman standing in front of them. She was just as pretty as Rosalie was."Boss, I deserve some credit for the work I've done, don't I? Can you give me this chick?" the short, fat man asked, rubbing his hands together as he licked his lips.Lyanna looked at Chet and the short, fat man. She covered her mouth and giggled as she said, "I don't know what kind of day it is, but I do know that next year, this will be your death anniversary! Which of you wants to die first?""I… Huh?" Chet had been about to lunge forward and grab Lyanna, but then he realized what she had said.It would be their death anniversary on this day next year? What did that mean?Before he could recover his senses, Lyanna tittered and nodded. "Alright, you'll die first."She flicked her sleeve aside and revealed her slender, pale hands. Her foot-long, brigh
When Chet and the lackeys looked more closely, they saw that the car parked in the distance was a personal car and that there was a gorgeous woman sitting inside it.They were delighted at their good fortune. This was an opportunity they could not miss!As they were in such a remote area, they barely ever saw any women, let alone a beautiful one like Rosalie.Therefore, Chet gave the order, and the thugs all surged forward. They were barely able to contain their excitement."Hello, beautiful. What has upset you so much at this late hour? Tell us about it. Even if we can't make you happy, you can make us happy!" The short, fat man in the lead reached out to pull Rosalie's car door open as he spoke.Rosalie was beside herself with fear. She hastily locked the car and pulled her phone out of her bag as she screamed loudly at the men outside her car. "What do you want? Stay away from my car, or… or I'll call the police!"The fat, short man glanced at Rosalie, who looked frightened an
Sebastian heard Rosalie sobbing behind him. He turned around abruptly, but Rosalie rushed over to him and slapped him in the face before he could explain."Sebastian! I rushed over here as soon as I heard that something had happened in Steinberg! You… You're a jerk!" Rosalie was weeping. She had been planning on telling Sebastian on the day of the martial arts battle about the good news of the huge order that Arctic Snow Group had received from Lorcan. However, while eavesdropping on a conversation between Oliver and Belinda, she found out about the huge commotion over in Steinberg.When she heard that all eight of the Celestial realm experts that the Warrior League had sent to protect Whitney had all been killed and that the latter had disappeared, Rosalie couldn't contain her anxiety.She had rushed back to Steinberg at once.When she found no sign of Sebastian at the Moonlyte Club, she had come to the convenience store instead.She saw that it was lit up and had run straight
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
