"I need to perform acupuncture on her to disperse the cold energy in her body," Sebastian explained.Crystal scowled as she shouted, "What nonsense are you spouting? What cold energy? Are you cursing my daughter?"Sebastian tried to explain again, "It's not that. Whitney is actually—"However, Crystal was having none of it and interrupted coldly, "That's enough. The doctors here will diagnose Whitney. You're just a useless piece of trash. You have no right to be spouting nonsense here!"Besides, I heard from Ms. Lucero that Winnie is only in the hospital because of you! Isn't that right?" she demanded.Sebastian frowned.Mabel seized this opportunity to quickly add, "Mrs. Sutton, Ms. Sutton got caught in the rain because of this asshole! That's why she has a high fever!""What do you have to say for yourself?" Crystal demanded as she turned to Sebastian.Sebastian arched an eyebrow. "I have nothing to say. I just want to tell you that this isn't a regular fever. Her condition i
Damon looked haughty as he glanced at Sebastian. "So you're Sebastian? The man that Mr. Cobb mentioned?" he asked in disbelief."Yes, that's me," Sebastian said, raising an eyebrow.Damon huffed. "I've seen videos of you at work, and I admit you do have some skill. However, that insignificant amount of skill is nothing to be proud of!"It's such a shame that someone as arrogant as you is the successor of Expalyrium," Damon said finally.Sebastian's expression darkened immeasurably at that. He hadn't expected this old man, who looked to be in his sixties, to pull rank on him to discipline and humiliate him.Sebastian was about to retort when he was interrupted by Fergus. "Sebastian, aren't you going to leave? You'll only be a hindrance if you stay!"Once Dr. Caesar cures Winnie and she wakes up, she might fall back into a coma from anger when she sees you!" Fergus snickered."He's right! Trashtian! Get lost!" Dante chimed in smugly.Crystal followed suit and shouted, "Why are yo
"Beg you?" Crystal asked in disbelief before breaking into laughter. "Nonsense! Your mediocre medicinal skills are nothing compared to Dr. Caesar's, and you expect us to beg you?"Her tone was haughty as she declared, "If Dr. Caesar can't treat Whitney, I will get on my knees and beg you!""I will too!" Dante chimed in with a mocking expression.Sebastian didn't respond and took one last look at Whitney before he left.Fergus waved a hand dismissively once Sebastian left, and he huffed, "He's just a piece of trash. I can't believe how bold he was acting."He then plastered on a sickeningly sweet smile as he clasped his hands together respectfully. "Dr. Caesar, please treat Whitney."Damon stroked his beard and replied, "Don't worry, I got this." Then, he walked toward Whitney.Theresa quickly got to her feet and stood to the side. "Dr. Caesar, is Whit alright?" she asked worriedly. Damon took one look at Whitney before he took her pulse. "It's nothing serious. There's a bit of
In an instant, the ward was so silent that they could hear a pin drop. Everyone's expression shifted between disbelief and reluctance.Did they really need to beg that piece of trash for help?"Mr. Cobb, Mrs. Sutton, I've really never seen anything like Ms. Sutton's disease! From what I heard just now, Ms. Sutton hasn't had any problems with her health, which means that kid outside really knows how to cure her!" Damon said. "Please consider what's best for Ms. Sutton!""Mrs. Sutton, what do we do now?" Fergus asked. It was not his place to make a decision.Crystal thought about it for a while before she looked at the unconscious Whitney. In the end, she sighed as she said, "For Winnie, we can only beg for that useless bastard's help!"Then, she rushed out of the ward to the waiting area. She found Sebastian sitting on one of the couches."Sebastian!" Crystal called as she stalked over to him. "Winnie's condition has worsened! Go take a look!"Sebastian raised an eyebrow as he wa
"Are you really going to watch her be in a coma for life?" she demanded."As long as I'm here, she'll be alright," Sebastian said with a frown. "However, don't forget that she was the one who wanted a divorce. So, none of you have the right to act so high and mighty around me!"I'll save her if I want to, and I won't if I don't feel like it!" he snarled.They all went silent at that. Eventually, Theresa raised an eyebrow and growled, "You really are a bastard."At that moment, Fergus rushed out and yelled, "Oh no! Winnie is…"Within the next second, Sebastian had jumped to his feet and rushed into the ward. Crystal and the others were also extremely anxious and rushed inside after him. By the time they all reached the ward, Sebastian was already performing acupuncture on Whitney. She already looked much better, and the equipment hooked to her was no longer blaring."How is she? Is she alright?" Crystal asked anxiously.Sebastian sighed and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I
Damon was about to speak, but Fergus cut him off, "Dr. Caesar, you must be mistaken. You're the one who saved Whitney! "What do you mean by someone else? I know you don't like to show off after saving someone's life, but we are all witnesses here."Then, Fergus gave Crystal and the others a look.Crystal caught his hint and smiled. "Right, Dr. Caesar. You're too humble! No matter what, thank you for saving Winnie."Damon was puzzled, so Fergus pulled him to the side and said, "Dr. Caesar, you almost risked Whitney's life just now. "Although you're one of the top three doctors in Medcity, your reputation would still be ruined if the incident today was spread. By then, not only you but even Medcity will be questioned."Fergus continued, "Since Whitney thought you were the one who saved her, why not take the credit? It's a good thing for you and her both. And to us, it's even better."Well, Damon wasn't dumb, either. At his age, he immediately knew what Fergus meant.However, he
Theresa, who had witnessed everything, stood by the side without saying anything. She thought Fergus and Crystal were a bit too much with their acting.It was clear that Sebastian was the one who saved Whitney. However, she chose silence because she knew if Whitney found out Sebastian saved her, she might have feelings for him again.This was something Theresa didn't want to see since she felt that Sebastian didn't deserve Whitney. Hence, she chose not to say a word.After a while, Theresa left the ward, but Fergus rushed up to her. "Thank you, Ms. Livington."Theresa leaned against the wall and asked grumpily, "For what?""For not telling Whitney that it was Sebastian who saved her." Fergus smiled.Theresa frowned and said coldly, "Don't thank me. I'm different from you guys. I just don't wish to see them together again."With that, she walked toward the exit, hoping to get herself a cup of coffee. However, she bumped into Sebastian, whose face was pale and sweaty."Why are yo
Listening to Sebastian's tone and attitude, Whitney said discontentedly, "Isn't that right? How much longer do you plan on lying? "In the past, I might have doubted whatever you said. But my mom, brother, Mr. Cobb, even Mabel and Theresa clearly saw who saved me! "Sebastian, do you still wanna lie to me in front of so many people? Don't you realize how truly obnoxious you're being right now?"At this, Sebastian frowned, his expression shifting.Before he could speak, Crystal impatiently snapped, as if she were eager to shut him up, "Sebastian, enough! Quit putting on airs in front of us. "I never imagined you'd have the nerve to say you saved her right in front of all these people without batting an eye. How shameless!"Sebastian's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Are you all colluding against me?""What do you mean?" Dante protested. "Why do you speak so harshly, you trash? Are you suggesting that all of us would conspire to deceive my sister?"Mabel, who had always disl
Lucius panicked at once. His clones couldn't make different moves, but Sebastian's attacks were all coming from different directions. How could he dodge them?A bolt of blue light slashed down on the head of one of Lucius' clones. He dodged to the side quickly while leaping up to dodge the other five swords. However, before he could land, he spat out a mouthful of blood.Although his original form had escaped from harm, his clones had been killed immediately. Although they were only his clones, they were very closely connected to his true form because of how truncated his Cloning Technique was compared to the original. That was why the backlash was particularly strong when his clones were killed."Just one move and both are already dead? Your Cloning Technique really isn't much!"Sebastian's 18 clones had surrounded the severely injured Lucius and were covering over a dozen different directions."How could this be? How could you have such an orthodox Cloning Spell passed dow
"How is that possible?"Lucius looked as if he was in disbelief when he saw that Sebastian had cut through the coal-black silk threads so easily. Sebastian appeared in front of him in an instant, and he raised Purity to slash at him.Right at the moment when the sword energy was about to touch Lucius' clothes, the air around them seemed to ripple violently. Lucius shot backward several feet as if he were a phantom, and he dodged Sebastian's attack."You're truly extraordinary!"There was a gleam in Lucius' dark eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to blur out of sight before splitting into three identical figures! Even the coal-black knife in his hand was exactly the same. "You didn't expect that, did you, young man? That's our lord's secret cloning technique!" Violet laughed triumphantly. Sebastian now had to fight against three on his own, which would be certain to end in his death. So what if he could break through the binding of the coal-black silk threads?
The handsome youth's name was Lucius Vipera. He grinned evilly and said, "You're the first person who's had the guts to insult me. You will pay!""My lord!"Violet hastily bowed to Lucius, too afraid to even look up at him.Lucius ignored her and strode toward Sebastian."Young man, you are extraordinary. To have accomplished so much in your 20s isn't an easy feat. If you apologize to the Berkeleys and promise to never oppose us again, I can consider letting you go today!" he said coldly in a manner that brooked no argument. Sebastian scoffed and shook his head as he said disdainfully, "You're not also planning to make me grovel to you in apology, are you?"While they all looked on in shock, Sebastian seemed to flicker out of focus, leaving behind a line of shadows as he rushed toward Lucius.Lucius narrowed his eyes and huffed coldly. "With your paltry skills, are you really going to—"Before he could finish, Sebastian's slap landed. There was a cold flash, which Lucius has
"Violet!" Candy stared at Violet in terror, because the latter now looked frightening. The flesh and skin on her face were peeling off, and pale white bone was already showing on her chin.It wouldn't take long before she became a living skeleton.Violet glanced at her hands, of which only bone was left. There was a look of shock in her eyes, but she still had another trick up her sleeve.As she cackled sinisterly, her body began recovering rapidly. All her skin was growing back, and the new flesh and skin that grew was as smooth as that of a baby's."Young man, do you really think that I would have no way to break that spell?" Violet looked at her newly grown skin and flesh and laughed triumphantly. Sebastian waggled a finger slightly and asked, "Break it? It's not that easy. That was just the beginning!"As soon as he finished, he moved in a flash and leaped down from the roof. All Violet saw was a shadow flashing past her.There was a series of resounding slaps, and Violet f
At the same time, clouds of dark energy flowed toward Sebastian and enveloped him.He felt a strong, restrictive power enveloped him, which made it hard to even lift a finger.It was a mystic spell unique to Violet. Anyone enveloped by the dark energy would have no choice but to stand still and wait for death to come, no matter how powerful they were. A mystic spell like that was similar to the one Sebastian had just displayed, but it was much more bizarre and harder to detect. Countless experts in the mystic spells had died from Violet's move. In the end, she had sucked up all their blood essence, and they had become nutrition for her.That was why she was sure that Sebastian would suffer the same fate. "Young man, are you unable to speak now?" Violet taunted as she circled Sebastian. She now felt that Sebastian was like a lamb to the slaughter—she could do with him as she pleased.However, she didn't want to let him die too quickly. He had committed an unforgivable sin in
The dark green liquid was venom!Sebastian hastily leaped onto the roof of a villa to dodge the attack."Hey, you old hag! Aren't you afraid that you'll end up without any descendants if you treat your granddaughter-in-law like that?" Sebastian questioned mockingly. Violet wasn't angry at all. She laughed instead and said, "Ballard, your reverse psychology won't work on me. Let's see how you kill her!"She cackled again.Human life meant nothing to her, and Candy was just a puppet that the Berkeleys had found. They only wanted to use her body to raise the snake curse until it took over her body completely, after which she could give birth to a true snake spirit baby for them!"Don't regret it, you old hag!"Sebastian suddenly raised his hand, and a strong force immediately weighed down heavily on them."Restrain!"He pressed his palms down in the air as he spoke."Restrain?" A smile had just begun to flash across Violet's face, but then her expression stiffened.The stron
Sebastian looked up at the shadowy figures, among which there were children. They were probably the Flemin Village inhabitants who had disappeared without a trace overnight 30 years ago!"Not only did you commit murder, you even wanted to imprison them here forever! You're unbelievably cruel! Also, what kind of grudge does your family have against that young woman?" Sebastian asked accusingly as he pointed at Candy.Although Candy had been hostile toward Sebastian from the beginning, he knew that it wasn't out of her own will. It was the will of the snake that had merged with her soul. "You are far too nosy, young man. How do you know the young woman doesn't want to become part of our family? Perhaps she's thrilled at the very thought right now!" Violet cackled. Sebastian took a deep breath. He looked at the shadowy figures around him and at Candy, who was standing at the window."I'll give you one chance," he said. "Let them all go and remove the snake curse from that young wom
Sebastian let out a turbid breath. He could feel that his strength was much stronger than before. He still wasn't in peak condition, but it was still wonderful news to him. At least he had now restored more than half his powers. Sebastian had just gotten up and stretched when he heard a series of knocks on the door."Mr. Ballard, time to eat!" Scott said tentatively. He was terrified of disturbing him.Sebastian answered, "I'll be out soon!"When Scott saw Sebastian, he realized that the latter no longer looked as pale as he had at first, and there was a slight rosy tinge to his complexion. He smiled and said, "Mr. Ballard, you're looking pretty good today!"Sebastian only smiled impassively but didn't respond. They returned to the Martial Arts Court building, where a large platter of meat had already been placed on the table for Sebastian."Mr. Ballard, we don't have much to eat here. Apart from game, all we have is beef. I was afraid that you wouldn't be accustomed to it,
Perhaps the tiger's instincts had alerted it to the feeling of danger. "Bind!"Just as the tiger turned to escape into the forest, Sebastian gave a curt command. In an instant, an invisible pressure bound the tiger tightly where it was. The tiger had its back to Sebastian, but it could feel death approaching, and it couldn't help growling mournfully. Sebastian slapped the back of the tiger's head, and he destroyed half the tiger's body instantly."Holy sh—Mr. Ballard!"Scott stared at Sebastian in shock. What he had just witnessed was beyond the scope of his imagination. Even the legends of warriors fighting against tigers had described a life-and-death struggle. However, this particular tiger hadn't been able to fight back against Sebastian at all!Sebastian looked at the glistening heaps of blood and flesh on the ground, and he pulled out a dozen porcelain bottles. He filled five of them with tiger blood, then hacked off a large chunk of tiger meat, which he placed in a p
