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
Sebastian furrowed his brow, instantly thinking of one person.Fergus! Not long after, he chose to alert the authorities and had all those people arrested. Upon hearing the news, Rosalie hurried to the company. She asked anxiously, "Dr. Ballard, are you okay?" Sebastian shook his head lightly and smiled, "I'm fine." "Hmph! Fergus is despicable! How dare he resort to such underhanded tactics!" Rosalie exclaimed angrily, stomping her foot in frustration. "I'm going to hold him accountable!""It won't work," Sebastian said with a sigh."Why not?" Rosalie asked, puzzled.Sebastian chuckled helplessly. "There's no direct evidence to prove it was him. Besides, these kinds of tactics in business competition are usually unwritten rules.""So what do we do? Just let that guy get away with this?" Rosalie asked anxiously.Sebastian chuckled. "When the enemy comes, we meet them head-on. When water comes, we use the earth to block it. Let's focus on our own tasks." Rosalie pursed he
Sebastian would have likely become a lost soul long ago if not for his mentor saving him during his travels. Upon arriving at the Sacred Medicine Society, Sebastian diligently studied medicine, martial arts, various charms, and techniques under his mentor's guidance. In just three short years, he became the most outstanding apprentice in the hundred-year history of the Sacred Medicine Society, inheriting his mentor's legacy. He even suppressed all those from the Dramon martial arts sects for four years straight, leaving them unable to lift their heads. Those four years could be described as the darkest period for all the major sects of the Dramon martial arts world! All the young martial arts geniuses of that generation sighed with admiration at Sebastian's figure, feeling inferior to him. However, three years ago, following his mentor's orders, Sebastian descended from the mountain and disappeared without a trace, giving these sects a chance to breathe. Who would have th
A huge cruise ship was sailing toward the Steinberg port, about a hundred miles away from the coast."Sir, we're approaching Steinberg port. We'll be docking in a little over two hours," one subordinate said nervously to the towering and robust middle-aged man standing at the bow of the ship. The middle-aged man, dressed in a black shirt with a crudely written "Malcolm Sect" on his back, stood tall like a sword at the bow, unperturbed even as the waves rocked the ship from side to side.On the decks around him stood over a hundred apprentices of the Malcolm Sect, dressed in white shirts with the words "Malcolm Sect" in red on their backs."Too slow!" the middle-aged man said coldly. His cold gaze penetrated the distance of a hundred miles, fixating on the Steinberg port across the sea."I'll go ahead. You continue with the docking plan as scheduled," the middle-aged man ordered.The subordinates were stunned! Going ahead? But this was the sea! Didn't they all need to travel to
Javier fell with a thump onto the floor. He stared dazedly as Kayden was tied to a long bench with a rope."Bring in the family members of the victim. Who from the law enforcement hall will carry out the punishment?" Sebastian demanded.He pulled out a silver needle and pierced one of Kayden's acupuncture points, which would make him more alert.When a man in a wheelchair was pushed into the hall by a young woman who looked very frail, Sebastian stood up quickly.He said to the young man, "Kayden is the reason your family's fallen apart. We'll torture him to death very soon.""That asshole! He deserves to be slashed a million times!" the young man yelled at Kayden, clenching his fists tightly."Don't get agitated. He won't die before he gets cut 7,000 times. Although you don't have the right to carry out the execution, you can splash salt water over his wounds!"Sebastian took a bucket from one of the law enforcement hall apprentices and placed it in front of the young man."Se
At least that man had not had to grovel to the perpetrators to thank them. Not only did Brayden have to grovel to the law enforcement hall men, he even had to thank them!After about four hours, when Kayden had pulled up his pants, he went over to Brayden and said in a slightly ashamed tone, "Inspector Jefferson, I… I had no choice!"He sounded as if he was completely innocent.Brayden wanted to murder him. Just a minute earlier, when Joaquin had called out his name, he had been shaking with excitement. He had even forgotten about the pain of having his crotch injured and lunged toward Darla like a hungry wolf. Now, he was standing in front of Brayden, acting innocent?Brayden had only gotten into this state because of Kayden!After sending away all the reporters, Joaquin sent a message to Sebastian. In less than ten minutes, Sebastian sauntered back into the restaurant. He glanced at Darla, who was lying on the floor with a vacant look in her eyes. Sebastian patted Brayden's sh
If the incident was broadcast, it would be sure to cause an uproar, and Boren would become the center of the storm.However, Sebastian had made up his mind, and Joaquin didn't dare to try and dissuade him. He had no choice but to do as Sebastian had commanded and call over the news teams from all three states' television stations.Since the head director of a state was calling them personally, none of them dared to refuse. In less than two hours, the news teams from all three state television stations had arrived and were in position."What news are we broadcasting today, Mr. Ballard?" a female reporter asked Sebastian.She had seen how messy the place was, and there didn't seem to be anything for them to report about."Later, these people are going to help a family improve the gene pool, and I need you to broadcast the entire process live. Before you do, please play a recording of a phone call from Inspector Jefferson," Sebastian said. He sent the recording of the phone call
"Kneel!" Sebastian suddenly yelled.Brayden yelped with fear and fell to his knees."Sebastian, I… I'm a tristate inspector of the Martial Arts Court!"At that point, Brayden's final hope was his authority and position. He didn't want to die, and he especially didn't want to die for no reason.He just wanted to win favor with the ancestral being of the Berkeleys and get some tips on how to get a longer life."Call your wife! I'll give you two hours. If she doesn't come, you'll be tortured to death as well. I can tell you clearly that I'm a doctor, and I have ways to keep you alive until you get slashed 3,600 times with a knife!" Sebastian said icily."I…"Brayden trembled as he pulled out his phone. His mind had gone blank, and it took him a long time to find his wife's phone number. Her name was Darla Wyllis. "Hello? Honey? A handbag caught my eye today, but that stupid store actually refused to give it to me for free! It's a lousy handbag that only costs about 500 thousand d
Jayden had only gone a few steps, but he had no choice but to stop. He turned and grimaced at the Berkeleys and Brayden, who were all looking in his direction.He was filled with regret. He should have made his escape earlier instead of coming back with Brayden. Egbert and Yorrick were clearly fools. One of them had maimed himself and ended up vomiting blood relentlessly, while the other stood there like an idiot for Sebastian to slap him. He would be surprised if either of them could defeat Sebastian.As everyone was watching him, Jayden had no choice but to return to his previous spot. He looked nervously at Yorrick, praying inwardly that the old man would somehow get more skilled. He couldn't let Sebastian screw him over!"This is the last slap, old man. Do you still have any feeling in your face?" Sebastian asked, raising his palm."Damn you!" Yorrick swore violently. However, one of his front teeth had been knocked out earlier when he was slapped, and air escaped noisily t
The entire left side of Yorrick's face had become so numb that he couldn't feel a thing."Young man, just now you already hit me—""I only slapped you once!" Sebastian interrupted, holding up a finger.Yorrick spat and said, "How could one slap have made so many noises?"Sebastian replied innocently, "Everyone here can testify that I only hit you once, and I did it very slowly too. You all saw it, didn't you?"The onlookers nodded quickly, especially the experts from the law enforcement hall. They still couldn't figure out how an expert at Yorrick's level could have been sent flying through the air by a weak slap like that from Sebastian.What puzzled them the most was that Yorrick had clearly landed in a very safe spot. Why had he insisted on rolling into a pile of broken glass and gotten such a gaping wound on his face?"Fine!" Yorrick clenched his teeth and suppressed the pain in the right side of his face. "There are still two moves left!" he said viciously."Will you com
Sebastian nodded slightly. Yorrick had probably killed the young man because the latter was proficient in mystic spells and was already on the brink of the threshold. That could be the only reason for Yorrick's senseless deedThere were some people who couldn't bear seeing people who were stronger than them, which was why they made their move before their opponent could grow and develop."Are you really going to concede three moves to me, old man?" Sebastian stepped forward, grinning."Of course!" Yorrick answered, staring arrogantly at him.He still hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary with Sebastian, so he assumed that Sebastian was just an ordinary guy. He had probably only been able to defeat so many experts—including Egbert—because he had used some kind of trick. Egbert had lost because he had fallen into Sebastian's trap, not because of the latter's skills. That was why Egbert ended up suffering from the backlash of the ghost he had nurtured and lost his powers."I'll
"Young man, you're so cruel. Have you ever thought of the consequences of your actions?" Yorrick asked. He put his hands behind his back as he walked slowly toward Sebastian. Sebastian eyed Yorrick, whose training was at least on the same level as Egbert's. Besides, what he had studied was also a kind of spell. He and Sebastian specialized in the same study.The moment Yorrick got angry, Sebastian had sensed the faint power of Dainist principles from him."No blows are kind, and neither are harsh words! Why do you people feel that others should meekly allow you to beat them up? When your people are injured, you immediately think of it as the other party's mistake! That doesn't make any sense!" Sebastian answered coldly."Mr. Irving, kill that asshole!" Kayden said viciously. He was still clutching his crotch with one hand while he pointed at Sebastian with his other hand. Beside them, Jayden said defiantly, "Mr. Irving, you must not let this guy go! He's ruthless and extremely
Huh? Egbert frowned involuntarily. He had never felt that way before. What was going on? There was a loud blast, and the gigantic statue suddenly appeared out of thin air. At the same time, Egbert suddenly felt his blood churning inside him, and he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.He was about to turn and run when a black bolt of light hit him in the back. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew through the air like a broken kite. "Oh! Are you actually a sadist, old man?" Sebastian asked, smiling.Before Egbert could scramble up again, yet another bolt of dark light flew toward him."Damn it!"Egbert could no longer be conscious of his image and dignity. He swore at once. The dark light was aimed at his energy reserve. If he was hit, his decades of training would be completely ruined. However, he had plenty of life experience and had been through many such situations. When he saw the dark light flying toward him, he rolled across the floor like a bal
