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
In an instant, the hall went silent.Whitney's expression was extremely unpleasant.She did not expect Sebastian to be this staunch and merciless.Even though she was pleading with him, he refused to back down.He was not like that in the past.Did the divorce change him?"Must you be so heartless, Sebastian?" Whitney asked.Sebastian snorted before retorting with a piercing gaze, "Let me ask you this, Ms. Sutton. If I had failed to save Mr. Whitaker Senior today, and Fergus seized the chance to ruin me, would you be pleading for mercy on my behalf too?""I …" Whitney could not answer. Her eyes flickered.Sebastian laughed mockingly before saying, "Don't bother answering. Your hesitation tells me everything I need to know. So, why should I let Fergus off the hook?"Frowning, Whitney had more to say, but Sebastian walked up to Fergus and looked down at him. Then, he raised his feet and said coldly, "My shoe's dirty, Mr. Cobb. Please lick it clean for me."Fergus was seething
"Think whatever you want. My conscience is clear!" Sebastian declared icily.He was truly disheartened that Whitney had become someone who could not distinguish right from wrong."You're only saying that because you can't think of a way to defend yourself anymore!" Whitney fumed before running after Fergus.Mabel glowered at Sebastian before following Whitney.Sebastian took a deep breath to calm himself down."Are you okay, Dr. Ballard?" Rosalie asked worriedly.Sebastian nodded and said, "I'm fine. Join me for a walk.""Sure," Rosalie agreed with a playful smile.After saying a few words to Isabel and the others, Sebastian walked out of the hall and headed to the garden.The atmosphere in the hall made him feel stifled and annoyed.…Meanwhile, Whitney went after Fergus and called out, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Cobb. Let me apologize on Sebastian's behalf. I didn't expect him to be so unreasonable today."Fergus exhaled and said resentfully, "It has nothing to do with you, Ms. S
As one of the eight main sects of Yutaria, the Northern Divine Swords could not tolerate the insults and slander of a young man who was barely out of puberty."I don't know who he is, and I'm not interested. If you want to fight, then hurry it up. I haven't even finished eating." Sebastian yawned impatiently.How cocky! He was being extremely arrogant!Wilfred's eyes were bulging with rage. He gritted his teeth as he stared at Sebastian. He was hoping that Sebastian would be chopped up into pieces by Ronaldo!Lexi's lips had turned purple with anger. Where did Sebastian get the confidence to brag like that?How could he be so cocky with Ronaldo? It was no wonder so many people wanted to kill him!"Young man, why don't you just admit your wrongdoings? That old Yutarian man seems pretty formidable!""Yeah, you should live to fight another day! We'll have plenty of opportunities to deal with him in the future. Just waiting for him to die will be an easy victory for you!""Young ma
Caspian was actually very afraid. Although he did not know who Ronaldo was, even Wilfred was kneeling. One could imagine just how frightening Ronaldo must be.How could Sebastian still be chatting and laughing with Caspian as if nothing was happening?Lexi clenched her fists tightly. Even the Bachs had to kneel in front of Ronaldo. How could Sebastian speak to him in that tone?She wanted nothing more than for Ronaldo to kill Sebastian at once!"You're very cocky, young man!" Ronaldo narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Sebastian.However, he sensed that Sebastian was extremely dangerous—and the woman beside him felt just as threatening.Ronaldo even suspected that he would not be able to last more than one move from that woman!However, the young man's training was a mystery. No matter how much Ronaldo scrutinized him, Sebastian just seemed like an ordinary person who did not know any martial arts.His experience told him that people like that were usually the most dangerous
Wilfred fell to his knees in fear.He was not embarrassed to cower before this man. After all, he was Ronaldo!He was a legend from the Culter Sect of Yutaria. Less than 100 people in Dramon were his equals.He could kill Wilfred in less than ten moves. How could Wilfred not be afraid?Ronaldo walked out and pointed at the wide hall. "Get out here this instant!" "I'm coming! I'm coming!" Wilfred smiled widely and crawled out to the great hall. When Caspian saw how Wilfred was debasing himself, he scoffed and asked Lexi, "Is that how hot-blooded the Bachs are? That was truly eye-opening.""You don't know anything, Caspian! Mr. Baye is just adapting to the situation!" Lexi shrieked."Do all the Bachs crawl on the ground to adapt?" Sebastian laughed scornfully."You bastard! I'm going to tell Mr. Baye what the two of you said later. Just wait! You're both going to die!" Lexi rushed out of the room angrily.Outside, the onlookers hadn't dispersed. They were all watching the sho
"Hmph! You bastards are accomplices of those human traffickers! You deserve to die!" Wilfred strode over to one of the Yutarian youths and crushed three of his ribs with one foot. When Wilfred saw that the Yutarian youth had fainted from the pain, he went over smugly to the remaining youth and said, "If you don't want to end up like him, then kneel to me and apologize to the people of Dramon!"Wilfred looked righteous and felt a sense of accomplishment. Compared to Sebastian and Nina, he felt that he truly embodied what a Dramonian Warrior should be!"Idiot!" The Yutarian youths exploded in anger at once and swung their fists at Wilfred.They were no match for Wilfred at all, and both of them ended up on the floor in a puddle of their own blood.Several of the onlookers looked at Wilfred with gazes of admiration.Everyone hated human traffickers. Everyone had children, and no one wanted to have their child snatched away on the streets.These Yutarians were allegedly found to
The surrounding onlookers all gave Wilfred a thumbs-up."Good slap! They need to be taught a lesson!""Beat these dogs up, old man!""Yeah! This is the territory of Dramon!"The onlookers were all cheering Wilfred on, and he grinned smugly.He glanced disdainfully at Sebastian and the others, who were still sitting inside. Those cowardly young people weren't even brave enough to teach a few Yutarian youths a lesson! What an embarrassment to Dramon!"Ms. Bach, I don't think that Mr. Weller is suitable to be your husband. What a coward! I think that a weakling like him is only suited to hanging out with a milksop like Sebastian!" Wilfred's lip curled, and he sneered.Lexi had been annoyed with Caspian already. Sebastian was clearly ignoring her existence, and Caspian had simply let him do so!Now, a Dramonian was being bullied right here in their own country by Yutarians, but Sebastian hadn't made a single peep. If Caspian became her husband, how could she hold her head up high
Wilfred was just lucky that Nina hadn't had much of an appetite for the past few days. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have any bones left after what he had just said.Nina was spooning ice cream into her mouth. It was the first time she had eaten something so delicious.Although Nina had had a corporeal body before, she hadn't been able to eat at all. Even if she did eat, she couldn't taste anything.After using Sebastian's training technique, Nina could now eat and drink like a normal person. She just hadn't had the chance to taste all the delicious food in the world yet. "My lor—Sebastian, I never knew that ice cream tasted so good!" Nina said as she dug out a spoonful and fed to Sebastian.Sebastian could not let Nina refer to him as her lord when they were out, as it would make people misunderstand, so he had asked her to refer to him by his name. Sebastian tasted it and nodded. "Yes, this ice cream is pretty good."Nina giggled and said, "My saliva tastes good too."Sebasti
The energy replenishing pills were sold out as soon as they were released. The buyers would then resell it on the black market at prices that were two or even five times higher. That meant that any distributor who signed a contract with Rosalie would become the suppliers for these resellers.If such a high-quality energy replenishing pill could be put on Rainpure Group's shelves, it would make it a corporation with great influence in both cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.Caspian's hands were trembling with excitement, and he had no time to bother with Lexi at all.At that moment, there was a series of knocks on the door. Before Caspian could get up or ask anything, the door opened, and an old man walked in."Mr. Baye!" Lexi looked as if she had just seen her savior. She got up quickly to greet him.Wilfred Baye was one of the Bachs' guardsmen. "Ms. Bach." Wilfred bowed very politely to Lexi. Before Caspian gave him permission to do so, he pulled up a chair and sat down.Caspian
Lexi was from a family skilled in martial arts, and she was used to meeting prominent and influential figures. It didn't matter whether they were prominent figures in business or politics. They all had to show respect to the Bach family.While she was abroad, Lexi had seen for herself how strong the Warriors overseas were. Comparatively, a traditional medicine doctor like Sebastian seemed inconsequential to her. Caspian could just ask the Bachs for help if he wanted to become head of the Weller family. If the Bachs agreed, how could the Wellers possibly refuse?There was no need for Caspian to suck up to a traditional medicine doctor.Sebastian arrived at the private room at 8:00 pm on the dot. Caspian immediately got up to welcome him when he saw him. "Welcome, Mr. Ballard! I am honored to be able to have dinner with you!" he said, looking straight at Sebastian.Sebastian smiled lightly. "You're too kind, Mr. Weller. We're all friends here, and there's no need to be so for
Caspian wasn't hesitating because of the division of profits. He was simply calculating his ultimate gains. After half a minute, Caspian's eyes gleamed all of a sudden, and he said, "Deal!"Rosalie and Whitney were startled at first, but then they both broke into excited grins."Firstly, I'd like to clarify something. Our company doesn't focus solely on Sartvale. Sartvale and its surrounding states are the ones we focus on managing. We put our efforts into maintaining a chunk of the market in the whole country, not just in the state of Sartvale. So…"Caspian paused before continuing, "We may not be able to do what Grandase Group did within Sartvale, so your masks may not be in every mall and supermarket.""We understand. As long as you're sincere in collaborating with us, we can let go of the market share in Sartvale," Rosalie said excitedly.Just the thought of getting into the national market was exciting. Who wouldn't be willing to give up something small for something bigger
