Sebastian also glared at Rosalie. He looked at Whitney and explained. "Don't misunderstand. She's joking.""Oh, Mr. Ballard. You don't need to explain anything to me. This is your private life. You can be the 'honey' of whoever you want. It has nothing to do with me," Whitney replied expressionlessly, looking extremely cold. Sebastian's expression changed, but he did not explain much.Since she had misunderstood, then he would just let things be.After all, there were already so many misunderstandings between them. Sebastian sat down. Rosalie winked at him, and she began to be very affectionate with him right in front of Whitney. She leaned in close and whispered, "You're not angry, are you, Mr. Ballard? I just wanted to get back at her for you.""No." Sebastian answered in resignation. He sighed.Whitney watched Sebastian and Rosalie whispering sweet nothings to each other right in front of her, and her temper flared up at once. She suppressed her anger and got up., saying co
Her unhappiness and anger disappeared at once.Sebastian was startled. He felt like he had been tricked."Rosalie, oh Rosalie. Did you see that? I'm still the one that Sebastian cares about!" Whitney thought triumphantly to herself.With this, Whitney knew that she had won."You're not angry anymore?" Sebastian asked. Whitney shook her head and said, "I'm not angry.""But I do want to ask why you ran out after me to explain…" she asked. Sebastian was startled. His expression was complicated as he explained, "I just didn't want you to misunderstand.""That's it?" She asked. Sebastian frowned and nodded. "Yes.""Oh." Whitney looked disappointed. The barrier between them was still there."Well, since the misunderstanding has been resolved, you can run back and take care of Ms. Griffin." Whitney's expression changed, and she spoke coldly.What a blockhead!Couldn't he just say something sweet to make her happy?He was infuriating!Sebastian was confused. This woman chan
Whitney frowned slightly. She was very hesitant. Louis didn't seem to be in a rush. He got into the car and waited inside."Aren't you going to get in, Ms. Sutton?" He asked, smiling.Whitney exhaled and then got in.The car door closed, and it sped off in a cloud of dust. Louis sat in the car, grinning widely as he looked Whitney up and down.She had an excellent figure, especially with those long, fair legs. Her tiny waist could be held in one hand, and all of this combined to trigger Louis' most primitive desires. He was going to have a good time with this woman tonight!"Ms. Sutton, I heard that you've divorced your husband?" Louis asked suddenly. She did not hide anything and nodded. "Yes. However, my private life doesn't have anything to do with you, does it, Mr. Hanson?"Louis smiled and said, "Don't mind me, Ms. Sutton. I was just asking."He continued. "A beauty like you who's also a CEO worth billions? I don't know how your husband could bear divorcing you.""
Whitney tensed as she asked, "What do you mean?"Louis chuckled and briskly clapped his hands twice."Take her to my room," he ordered his driver coldly.The driver then got out of the car and forcefully dragged Whitney out.Whitney was frantic as she yelled, "Louis! What are you doing? Let me go!"There was a flash of silver and before Whitney knew it, there was a knife pressed against the back of her neck.Whitney's body turned into jelly at that realization and she fainted.The driver then threw Whitney's limp body over his shoulder and nodded to Louis before stalking into the hotel lobby.Louis also got out of the car and adjusted his suit slightly before he walked into the lobby as well.Inside the hotel suite, Louis eyed Whitney, who was splayed on the bed, salaciously.Her long skirt was askew revealing her pale thighs and he crooned, "Oh, Whitney! I've been waiting a long time for this. Tonight, I'll have my fun with you and also take Frostwavee Corporations from you!
Brad still had absolutely no idea what was going on but after Sebastian explained what Louis had done, the color drained from his face.Shit! Stupid child!How could he be so foolish?Whitney was Dr. Sebastian's woman!Brad hastily fished his phone out and called Louis but it went straight to voicemail.Brad was practically trembling from panic and he stammered, "Don't panic, Dr. Sebastian. I'll try and call him again!"However, even after ten calls, the call did not connect! Out of desperation, Brad also sent out multiple texts but he received no reply!"Oh my God! Louis, you idiot! Are you trying to kill us all?" Brad muttered anxiously.Sebastian was losing his patience and he warned, "I don't care how you do it but find out where exactly that bastard is right now. If Whitney is hurt in any way, I swear I'll wipe out the entirety of your family!"'Of… of course…" Brad stammered before he wracked his brain to figure out how to find Louis. Eventually, he called Louis' dri
He had taken non-consensual videos of most women who were worth anything in Steinberg.He had then used these videos to blackmail and force these women into becoming his playthings.He adjusted the settings on the video recorder before he excitedly rubbed his hands together. "Ms. Sutton, don't worry. My recording skills are great and I'll make sure the video does justice to your beauty!"He then shrugged his suit jacket off and grinned, "I guarantee that you'll like the video once we watch it together in the future! After all, we should record such momentous moments of life!"He paused before he added, "Maybe I'll send a copy of the video to your ex-husband as well! It would be rude not to share something like this with him."Whitney drifted in and out of consciousness on the bed and her breathing quickened as she hissed, "Bastard! You despicable asshole! You'll pay for tonight!"Though her words were laced with anger, she was absolutely terrified and her terror only increased ex
Louis jumped at the noise and he whipped his head to the door. "Who-" All Louis could see was a silhouette with murderous intent charging straight at him. "Sebastian!" Louis exclaimed in realization once the silhouette came close enough but before he could say anything else, Sebastian grabbed him by his hair and flung him away from Whitney.There was a resounding crash as Louis was thrown unceremoniously into the furniture.Whitney's consciousness was slipping and she couldn't see clearly anymore. All she felt was a person's body leaning over her and she desperately tried to push the body away. Unexpectedly, her body was covered by a thick blanket and the warm security of the blanket was the last thing she felt before she passed out.Sebastian frowned when he saw that Whitney had passed out and he took a few silver needles out to perform acupuncture on her, momentarily inhibiting the sedatives in her bloodstream.After that, he turned his frosty glare to Louis, who was scra
Louis could only stare helplessly as his gun clattered to the ground noisily.Within the next second, Sebastian had already materialized in front of him with a cold grin.Before Louis could react, Sebastian grabbed Louis by the head and slammed it onto the ground.There was a sickening crunch as Louis' face was slammed into the coffee table and another wave of blood poured from his head.Louis was screaming and rolling on the ground from the pain as he clutched his face."Sebastian! I am the successor of the Hanson family! Don't think you can get away with this!" Louis howled.Sebastian's expression was thunderous as he replied nonchalantly, "Is that right? Then, I'll just make sure that the Hanson bloodline doesn't continue!"Right after that, Sebastian raised a foot and stomped directly on Louis' nether region.Louis let out a blood-curdling scream and his eyes were wide as he stared at his mangled nether region.His private parts had been completely crushed by Sebastian!L
The old man nodded slightly and said, "That's right. My name is Solomon Jackman. If you think things through, you can come to Townsend Clinic. We can discuss the price!"Solomon bowed to Sebastian before squeezing out of the crowd. Cliff's eyes reddened as he watched Solomon leave. Solomon was a prominent figure in Acorn City. Not only did he have exceptional medical skills, he was also skilled in martial arts. However, neither of those were Solomon's true specialty. What he was most skilled at was antique appraisal! Any antique that Solomon appraised was sure to be a treasure among treasures.Noticing Sebastian and Unus turning to walk away, Cliff immediately became agitated. "Stop!" he shouted.Sebastian turned to glance at him and said, "A deal's a deal. No returns or refunds. You said that yourself. It's the rule of the antique industry!"Cliff ignored all of that. He came out from behind his stall and grabbed Sebastian's sleeve. "I'm not going to sell that emerald pendan
"I don't think that you've seen the original form of this emerald pendant, either," Sebastian said, smiling coldly at Cliff. Cliff looked disdainfully at him. He felt that Sebastian was just unhappy about being tricked and was trying to provoke him. "Stop putting on that mysterious act. Why wouldn't I know about something that belongs to me?" Cliff demanded with a scoff. "You might really not know," Sebastian replied. He closed his palm slightly and exerted a slight force. The layer of stone on top of the emerald pendant peeled off. While everyone looked on, dumbstruck, Sebastian opened his palm once more. The crowd gasped.There were two clouds of energy on the emerald pendant, chasing each other like a pair of fish. One was black, while the other was red. The emerald pendant had been square-shaped originally, but it had now become a round emerald buckle. In the middle of it, a pale yellow energy was rising slowly. Everyone cried out in shock. It was clearly a rare trea
Some people just didn't know what was good for them. Even if Cliff had wanted to laugh, he should have waited for Sebastian to leave before doing so. How could he call a buyer a fool while they were still there?"It may be a little crude, my young friend, but it doesn't change the fact that you were hoodwinked!" Cliff said, guffawing gleefully.Since Sebastian had already paid, he could no longer take it back. After all, it was a rule never to accept returns or refunds. When Cliff thought of how he had charged Sebastian more than ten thousand for something that had only cost him about 300 to 400 dollars, he became even more smug. "You'll just have to bear with it, my young friend. Not regretting your purchase is the rule of the antique industry. Even if you've now found out that you were deceived, you can't get your money back!""That's right. The work on the emerald pendant that you're holding is so shoddy that it was clearly just done last week. It's a new item!" "Watch out
Sebastian laughed at the reluctant expression on the stall owner's face. He weighed the emerald pendant in his hand and asked, "Mister, are you sure that this emerald pendant is worth 210 thousand?"With that, he tossed it onto the counter and turned to leave."Huh?"The stall owner immediately ran around to the front of the stall when he saw that Sebastian was about to leave. He grabbed him and said, "Don't be in such a rush to leave, my young friend. Let's negotiate. If you're sincere about buying it, I'll sell it to you at 150 thousand, and I'll be making a loss. Let this be the start of a friendship between us!"Sebastian smiled slightly and said, "Mister, even a layman can tell that this emerald pendant is a fake. I just like the patterns on it because it's quite trendy. That's why I asked about it on a whim."Describing the patterns on the antique as trendy only served to show how obvious it was that it was a fake.The stall owner turned beet red, then white. He cursed hi
However, the more famous something was, the more imitations there would be. Antiques were no exception. In Boren, streets filled with antique stores were abundant. From Klane City to the smallest town, they were omnipresent.There were stores and stalls of various kinds that had everything, but all of them had one thing in common. All the antiques and trinkets that they sold were a mixed bag of authentic and fake. Buyers had to rely on their own judgment. There was also an unspoken rule there. Once a deal was made, no returns were allowed. If a buyer had paid for an item before realizing that something was wrong or recognizing that it was a fake, they would have no choice but to accept it. There was a saying about how the golden age of antiques was during times of chaos. Although they were now in times of peace, many members of the upper class were still very interested in them. Both experts and laymen liked to have a few collector's items in their homes. There were plenty of we
"Watch him closely! If you lose him, I'll have your head!" Anton said before hanging up. A malicious grin spread across his face.As the son of the head director of Boren Martial Arts Court, many were eager to curry favor with him. If it came to dealing with Sebastian, there were plenty of people willing to do the dirty work for him. Acorn City was the second largest city in Boren after Klane City, and Anton knew just who to call. About two weeks ago, the Lynch family of Acorn City had sent gifts to him. However, as the Lynches were a third-rate elite martial arts family, Anton had dismissed them. That was why, despite searching frantically, he couldn't find Colton Lynch's name card."Damn it! Where did that asshole's name card get to?"It was the first time Anton had been so anxious about finding the name card of an heir from a third-rate family. After rummaging around for a while, Anton had a sudden flash of inspiration. It was in the trash can!He suddenly remembered that
Sebastian laughed wryly and shook his head at Nina's words. "Nina, you're staying behind so everyone thinks I'm still here. Rowan and Arran will stay here with you so that no one will become suspicious!"Nina frowned. "But I'll be worried about you being with Unus. It's still just a beast whose rational capabilities aren't fully developed yet. What if it—"Sebastian smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry. Hugo has subdued them completely already, so nothing unexpected will happen. Honestly, there isn't much in Boren that worries me. However, if the Yome Sect enters Steinberg while its defenses are down, we'll be put in a difficult position."Though reluctant, Nina finally agreed.That night, Sebastian quietly brought Unus out with him. As soon as he walked out of the hotel doors, two thugs hiding at the side of the road who had been watching them stealthily immediately reported his movements to Anton."Are you sure it was Sebastian?" Anton demanded sharply."Positive! He looks e
"Kneel!" Joaquin yelled at Anton the moment he entered the room.Anton immediately dropped to his knees with a loud thud in front of Sebastian."My lord, my son is worthless. Everything that happened before was his doing. He has been a disgrace to our family. Please have mercy on his crimes," Joaquin said. He looked up at Sebastian and was puzzled to see how terrible his complexion was.Nina had been injured the day before, so why was it now the other way around? She had a rosy complexion, while Sebastian looked as white as a sheet."Alright. The important thing is to learn from one's mistakes and change. Don't forget the oath that you made. If you break it, I won't have to punish you. The law of heaven will act accordingly!" Sebastian said coldly."Yes, of course! I would never dare to break the oath! But…" Joaquin looked at Sebastian with a troubled expression.Sebastian frowned slightly and asked, "But what?""I can see that you don't look very well, my lord. Should I prepa
After resting for the whole night, Nina's complexion had almost returned to normal. Even the wounds on her body had almost healed.In stark contrast, Sebastian looked worse than ever.It was the aftereffect of losing too much blood essence. If it wasn't for the fact that he had the legacy of the Sacred Medicine Society, he might have already been half-dead. Even so, Sebastian felt weaker than he had ever felt before. His legs felt like jelly, and he was unsteady on his feet."My lord…"Rowan blanched with fear when he saw Sebastian. Sebastian was as pale as a sheet. Even his lips had lost all color."My lord, how did you get into this state?" Rowan asked, clearly confused. Sebastian had seemed fine when they returned to Mount Klane the night before. Waving his hand slightly, Sebastian replied, "I'm fine. I'll get better after some rest. Why are you up so early?"Rowan grew even more worried after hearing how frail Sebastian sounded."My lord, did you get severely injured o
