The area fell into a dead silence. In an instant, everyone's gaze was directed right at Sebastian, who was standing at the entrance.Sebastian's back was straight as he shook the remaining water droplets from his umbrella. His actions were so plain, and it was hard for anyone to discern anything special about him.So, he was Dr. Ballard?How could someone that Gerald called a martial arts Grandmaster be so… normal?Besides, he looked incredibly young and was probably still in his twenties!Someone from the crowd had gotten to their feet to yell angrily, "You brat! Who the hell are you? Leave!"Did Sebastian not know what situation the arena was in right now?None of the underground bosses even dared to utter a single word in fear of Gerald directing his wrath at them. So what was this ordinary brat doing, calling attention to himself?Was he that desperate for attention?Or did he have a death wish?Gerald's power was oppressive since he was already a Grandmaster, so how co
Besides, it seemed like his medicinal skills were extraordinary. Considering how he was able to revive Joseph, who had been on the brink of death.Sebastian coldly glared at Gerald as he demanded, "Don't you think you've gone too far? Not only did you want to kill him, you even destroyed his lower abdomen so he could never do martial arts again.""The victor gets to do whatever he wants! Anyone foolish enough to step onto this stage is marked for death!" Gerald declared arrogantly from the top of the ring. Sebastian frowned, and he nodded. "I understand."After that, he walked up to the stage.The fighting ring was elevated, and usually, people would just jump onto the stage as a show of their power. However, Sebastian chose to walk up the stairs instead.There was a roar of laughter from the crowd. Besides the underground bosses of Steinberg, some in attendance were just here for entertainment.These people snickered as they whispered amongst themselves."No way. Is he really
After that, under the fearful gaze of the crowd, Gerald assumed a stance as he punched the air before him.That punch was as swift as lightning, and there was even the crackle of electricity as lightning circled his fist, which was now headed right at Sebastian.The underground bosses of Steinberg, who were well-versed in martial arts, were stupefied."My God! Is that the power of a Grandmaster?" someone exclaimed in disbelief."Lightning Fist!" another exclaimed in horror."This is too horrifying… There's no way Sebastian can make it out alive!"Hans' expression paled when he saw Gerald's attack.Gerald's power was way beyond what he had expected, and he couldn't help but wonder if Sebastian could even defeat him.Unlike the rest of the crowd, Sebastian wasn't worried at all. He placed his hands behind his back in a carefree manner as he watched Gerald."I admit you do have some skill," Sebastian said with a smile. "Just not enough!""It has been a while since I've had a goo
Gerald had left a human-sized crater on the ring's ground!The force of Sebastian's blow had also created a shockwave strong enough to knock the bosses of Steinberg off their chairs, and they stared in horror at the stage.The entire ring in front of Sebastian had all but crumbled to dust, and Gerald lay motionless in the wreckage."What just happened?"The crowd was in utter shock as they got to their feet.Tristan looked like he had just seen a ghost, and he yelled, "What the fuck was that?" Gerald was a Grandmaster!A Grandmaster was practically undefeatable, and it has been decades since one had been bested in combat!So how could a single blow completely destroy a grandmaster?Was Sebastian a man or a God?That unassuming fist had hit Gerald with the force of an asteroid, and there was no way anyone could withstand a tremendous blow like that!Meanwhile, Gerald was still spewing blood amongst the wreckage of the destroyed stage. He was internally screaming and howling
Amongst the crowd, Tristan and the other underground bosses exchanged a look before they got to his feet as well."Dr. Ballard! I, Tristan Ziegler, am also willing to pledge my loyalty!" he declared."I, Dominic Wurst, am also willing!""So am I, Dr. Ballard!" Felix chimed in.In an instant, the underground bosses of Steinberg were all scrambling to kneel before Sebastian as a show of respect.The audience watched as the underworld bosses, who could shake up the entirety of Steinberg with just a single word, kneeled before Sebastian.They then turned their attention to Sebastian and realized Steinberg was about to undergo a massive change."There's a new powerful figure in town!" the crowd exclaimed.From today onward, Sebastian will be acknowledged as the most powerful man in Steinberg!Sebastian raised an eyebrow and sighed. He turned to face the bosses, who were all kneeling before him, and they shuddered when his gaze landed on them.When Sebastian's piercing gaze landed
Whitney frowned and replied, "Regardless, he's still my ex-husband. I've lived with him for three years. I can't just ignore him."Whitney pleaded, "Mabel, just let me do this. I promise I won't care about anything concerning him in the future." Mabel sighed in exasperation and asked, "Ms. Sutton, do you still like him?"Whitney froze, and a complicated emotion flashed across her face.Did she still like him? She had no idea.All she knew was that she got anxious whenever he offended someone or got himself into trouble."I…" Whitney stammered."Ms. Sutton, hear me out, Sebastian isn't worth it! No matter how much you try to help him in secret, he will never be grateful!" Mabel exclaimed."I don't want him to be grateful, and frankly, I don't care if he's grateful, either. I just want to make it up to him," Whitney snapped."Make it up to him? What are you talking about? You've never done anything to him that warrants an apology from you! He's the incompetent one!" Mabel excla
There was a flurry of commotion as the crowd dispersed.A bunch of burly men in black suits had entered the arena and ushered the crowd out. At the same time, they had issued a stern warning.No one was to breathe a word about tonight to another soul, or they would suffer the wrath of the underworld bosses of Steinberg.Whitney and Mabel were also forced out of the arena with the crowd amidst the chaos.There was a cacophony of whispers in the hall as the crowd discussed what had just happened. However, because of the warning by the burly men, none even dared to mention Sebastian's name.The crowd then slowly made their way out of the Celestial Tower.Mabel and Whitney stood at a corner of the hall as they scanned the crowd, hoping to find Sebastian."Mabel, do you see him?" Whitney asked worriedly.Mabel shook her head, crossing her arms across her chest. To be honest, she didn't really want to see him. In fact, she very much would've preferred if he had died."There are too
Sebastian exited the kitchen with a plate of spaghetti in his hands. "We're already divorced. So it doesn't matter if she hates me," he said mildly.With that, he twirled his spaghetti around his fork and ate a mouthful.The mouth-watering scent of spaghetti soon enveloped the small shop. Rosalie watched him hungrily as she asked, "Is it nice?""Do you want some?" Sebastian asked."Yes, please!" Rosalie beamed before dragging Sebastian's plate toward her. She didn't even bother getting another fork and just ate his spaghetti with his fork."It's delicious," she complimented with a blissful smile.Not only was Sebastian skilled at medicinal practices, but he was also incredibly skilled at cooking too!Sebastian sighed in exasperation and got up to grab another plate of spaghetti for himself.After that, the both of them ate their food in silence.Rosalie let out an inelegant burp after she was done and flashed him a content smile."I've never had such delicious spaghetti in
