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
"Ms. Livington, please be careful not to be swayed by his threats!" Fergus quickly interjected, nudging Theresa repeatedly."Well…" Theresa hesitated slightly, then took a deep breath and said firmly, "Whitney, the one who saved you was Dr. Caesar, not Sebastian. He didn't even show up!"As Theresa's words hung in the air, the ward fell silent. Sebastian's face stiffened, and his gaze turned complicated as he looked at Theresa, who avoided his eyes.He hadn't expected such a prideful woman like Theresa to stand with the likes of Fergus and Crystal, deliberately distorting the truth."Ms. Livington, do you understand what you're saying?" Sebastian's expression darkened.Crystal quickly chimed in, "Mr. Ballard! Did you hear that? Ms. Livington just said it was Dr. Caesar who saved Whitney. How long do you plan to keep up with this act?"After hearing Theresa's words, Fergus breathed a sigh of relief, his tense expression turning into a smirk."Sebastian, do you have anything else
The sound of a slap echoed in the ward as Whitney's hand landed heavily on Sebastian's face.The entire ward fell silent in an instant, and everyone looked at Whitney with astonishment. They never expected the usually poised and elegant Whitney to become so volatile. She even resorted to hitting Sebastian.It was something they could have never imagined.Sebastian stood there, stunned, feeling the heat on his cheek. He reached up to touch it, and a wry smile formed on his face.Did Whitney actually lose her temper and slap him for the sake of another man?In the past, even when he was misunderstood or scolded, Sebastian would just frown and let it go. But today, he had exhausted half his spiritual energy to save Whitney. Still, she would rather believe people's lies than trust her ex-husband of three years.Sebastian felt nothing but helplessness in his heart, and he smiled bitterly.Whitney was also feeling regretful now, and her hands trembled slightly. She didn't know what
It was Dahlia. "Mr. Cobb, you can keep the treatment fare," she said. "My grandpa said he didn't cure Ms. Sutton, so he won't accept it. Also, don't ever find him anymore in the future."Dahlie tossed the cash on the table and turned to leave.When she was leaving the ward, she turned to Whitney. The woman was kneeling on the floor, looking confused. "Ms. Sutton, I heard everything you said just now. Too bad, you've misunderstood your ex-husband."With that, she left.Whitney was stunned, as well as the rest of them in the ward.They knew that they had messed up this time.Fergus' face turned pale, but he quickly reacted and said, "Is this girl complaining that I gave her too little? How dare she say such things. Um, Winnie, you rest well. I'll go out and check." He tried to slip away, taking advantage of the situation. Crystal also hurriedly said, "Um, Fergus, I'll accompany you outside. What's Dr. Caesar up to, sending his granddaughter here to talk nonsense?"Seeing t
"What's the point? In your eyes, I'm just a liar through and through," Sebastian said coldly. He was thoroughly disappointed. The feeling of not being trusted was the worst, especially coming from Whitney, the woman he had lived with for three years."I…" Whitney hesitated, feeling anxious. She grabbed Sebastian's hand, urgently saying, "It's all my mom's doing. Besides, you never explained fully, either. You always say half of it and then leave. How can I trust you?"Sebastian's expression changed at her words. He turned his head, his gaze incredibly serious as he said bitterly, "So, it's my fault? Because I didn't explain enough?""No… that's not what I meant," Whitney hurriedly tried to explain.Sebastian shook off Whitney's hands and said coldly, "Ms. Sutton, there's no need for further explanation. Regardless of how your mom and others deceived you, you ultimately still believe them."In truth, you know it yourself. From the bottom of your heart, you never chose to trust
Whitney was taken aback. She slowly lifted her head to gaze into the distance as she wiped away her tears. Sighing, she stood up with a vacant look in her eyes and said, "I know."In her heart, Whitney understood how disappointed and resolute Sebastian looked when he left. It was as if each gaze was a knife stabbing her heart.She also knew that she and Sebastian could never go back to how things were before. In the past, she pursued success in her career, aiming to become the queen of the Steinberg business world. That was why she had let go of many things. But since the divorce, Whitney found that she couldn't seem to let go of Sebastian."What you need to do now is to pursue your dreams." Theresa reminded her.Tears glistened in Whitney's eyes as she replied, "I know. I want some time alone."With that, Whitney turned and walked away, riding the elevator alone to the hospital's rooftop.…Meanwhile, back in the ward, everyone was growing increasingly anxious.Upon return
After sitting for a while, Sebastian stood up, ready to leave the shop.However, the old man suddenly took out a document and threw it to Sebastian. "Take a look at this. I've found new clues about your mother." Sebastian was taken aback as he quickly opened the document and scanned it briefly.The old man continued calmly, "After your mother was driven out of the Ballard family, she came to Steinberg, but we don't know why. "My people found out that there was a group of people who once tried to kill your mother, saying she had something on her that shouldn't be brought out."Sebastian frowned, his expression changing drastically. A cold air emanated from him as he asked, "Who tried to kill my mother?""We haven't found out yet," the old man replied, shaking his head.Sebastian frowned, gripping the document tightly. He said coldly, "When you find out, inform me immediately.""You should focus on solving your current problems first."Sebastian sighed, knowing exactly what he
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
