With that said, Rosalie closed her eyes and waited for Sebastian to kiss her. She looked as though she was hinting to Sebastian that he could have her.Sebastian looked at the seductive Rosalie in front of him and felt his throat tighten.Any guy would not be able to resist when such a beautiful woman was in front of them."Um, Ms. Griffin, are your lips painful or something? Need me to take a look?" Sebastian coughed and said.Instantly, the atmosphere was ruined.Rosalie glared at Sebastian and stomped. "You're such a stupid guy! I said, kiss me!"Rosalie was angry, and she wanted to kiss him badly!However, if she took the initiative to kiss him, then it might ruin her image a little.Sebastian was speechless, and he muttered, "Ms. Griffin, this isn't a good idea, is it?""Fine then. I don't wanna talk to you anymore. You're not gonna have any more chances in the future!" Rosalie groaned.Sebastian then sighed in relief. Well, it'd be better if these types of opportunities
Rosalie's words made everyone fall silent."Hm?"Stephen's face turned livid and he frowned as he stared at Sebastian and Rosalie unhappily.When he saw Rosalie hooking onto Sebastian's arm, he felt as if he had been cheated on.He thought, "What the heck! This poor dude again!""Rosalie, what are you talking about? Your marriage with Stephen was arranged by me with the Beckard family! Don't talk nonsense here!" Madison frowned and scolded unhappily.At the same time, she glanced over at Sebastian and noticed Rosalie holding his hand, which made her feel embarrassed.What would happen if the public found out that her daughter had something going on with a random guy?"Who is this?" Madison asked coldly.Rosalie raised her chin proudly and replied, "This is Sebastian, Mom. He treated Grandpa.""Sebastian? He's the one who treated Mr. Griffin Senior?" Madison was surprised, and she started to eye Sebastian up and down.She didn't expect this young man to be the doctor who cure
Madison touched her upper chest and had a sip of tea to calm herself. "Sebastian, we meet again." Stephen looked at Sebastian and gave him a cold smile. The way he looked at Sebastian felt as though he looked down on him.The memory of Sebastian and him brawling at Rosalie's birthday party still burned in Stephen's mind. He had been itching for a chance to give Sebastian a piece of his mind. Little did he expect it to come so conveniently."Mr. Beckard, all healed up?" Sebastian asked with a faint smile.Stephen's expression darkened upon hearing the question. Sebastian's audacity was beyond belief!"You dare ask? I must say, you're quite the daredevil!" Stephen retorted, his tone cold.Sebastian's calm smile only fueled Stephen's anger."Ballard, for Rosalie's sake, you'd better kneel and apologize. Then, we can forget all about what happened that day," Stephen threatened."Hmm?" Sebastian raised an eyebrow. Stephen was indeed an arrogant person!"Mr. Beckard, are you se
Upon seeing Rosalie's outburst, Stephen's expression changed, and he furrowed his brow. "Rosalie, are you really going to flip out over this pretty boy?" The fact that Rosalie cared so much about a mere pretty face didn't sit well with Stephen. Was Janover's Beckard family's second heir not even comparable to a nobody from Steinberg?"Sebastian is my grandfather's lifesaver and an esteemed guest of our family! Stephen, if you cause trouble, I won't go easy on you!" Rosalie's demeanor turned stern. If it wasn't for Stephen's status as the second son of the Beckard family, Rosalie would have kicked him out long ago! Threatening Sebastian was equivalent to picking a fight with her!"Fine!" Stephen's face darkened, brimming with dissatisfaction. "I can overlook what happened last time. But today, I've come to discuss our marriage with your mother." His tone turned cold. "Rosalie, I genuinely don't understand what makes this kid better than me. Is he more handsome? Wealthier? Does
With the notoriety of Eastern Heretic and Western Venom spreading throughout Suden, Sebastian furrowed his brow slightly before smiling and saying, "Mr. Beckard, you've got quite the scheme. How about this? Me and Western Venom each concoct a poison, and we make the other person ingest it. Whoever can detoxify the other's poison first wins. How about that?"Stephen's expression changed abruptly as he glanced at Western Venom behind him. Western Venom snorted disdainfully and said, "Sure!"However, Rosalie panicked and shouted, "No! I don't agree! What if you guys can't detoxify the poison? What then?""We'll die," Western Venom sneered darkly."No, this is unacceptable! I absolutely disagree!" Rosalie exclaimed, grabbing Sebastian's hand with a worried expression.Sebastian smiled faintly as he patted Rosalie's hand reassuringly. "It's okay. Don't you trust me?""But what if something goes wrong? What will I do then?" Rosalie asked nervously.She was now certain that Stephen was
Sebastian sneered coldly and didn't say anything.Soon, the duel began, and the atmosphere in the garden was tense.In round one, Sebastian and Eastern Heretic would be competing in spells.Rosalie asked worriedly, "Sebastian, can you win?"Sebastian chuckled lightly and said, "I'll try.""What? Try?" Rosalie was stunned. Was Sebastian kidding with her? If he lost, then she would have to marry Stephen!Seeing Rosalie's aggrieved look, Sebastian teased her. "Just kidding. I'm here, okay?" "Ah, you scared me! I actually thought I was going to marry Stephen," Rosalie said indignantly, stomping her foot and playfully punching Sebastian's shoulder with her fist.At this moment, the tall and thin Eastern Heretic stepped forward, his face full of sinister aura. He looked quite formidable."Rosalie, I hate to say this, but how could you trust a poor boy from such a small place?" Madison said disapprovingly."Today, if our side wins, you're not allowed to back out. You must marry S
This move alone had already stunned Stephen and Madison to their cores."Eastern Heretic is a master indeed! This is amazing!" Stephen complimented.At the same time, he gave Sebastian a disdainful glance and said, "Sebastian, are you scared? See, this is what we call a true master of spells! Your stupid tricks are not even near!"Sebastian chuckled lightly and said, "Just a basic trick in spells, yet he dares to flaunt it. It seems that this Eastern Heretic is not as formidable as he claims to be.""Hahaha!" Eastern Heretic laughed heartily and retorted, "Young man, do you think this is the extent of my abilities? Very well, let me show you."With a flick of his hand and a muttered incantation, Eastern Heretic pointed at the protective charms.Puff! Instantly, the protective charms transformed into balls of fire, hurtling fiercely toward Sebastian!"Watch out, Mr. Ballard!" Rosalie exclaimed nervously. If Sebastian was hit, he might be turned into ashes on the spot!Madison,
In the courtyard, a fierce wind suddenly whipped up. Terrifying waves of energy burst forth from Sebastian in an instant. At that moment, Sebastian's presence seemed divine, leaving everyone in the courtyard dumbfounded and trembling with fear. The dense clouds in the sky vanished instantly, replaced by clear blue skies.Eastern Heretic's Godly Thunder spell was also instantly shattered. Then, to the shock of onlookers, a terrifying bolt of lightning materialized in broad daylight with a deafening crack, tearing through the air toward Eastern Heretic!Eastern Heretic's expression turned pale with shock as he failed to react in time. He was struck directly by the lightning, leaving him charred and smoking on the ground.Witnessing this scene, Stephen was left dumbfounded, his face a picture of sheer horror.“Eastern Heretic, sir!”Stephen hurriedly rose to his feet and called out. However, the figure on the ground had already passed out, convulsing as if struck by electrici
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
As the car started, the two burly men kept close behind it.Rowan looked back at them from time to time and saw that the two burly men were keeping a fixed distance from the car. He couldn't help gasping.Weren't they walking inhumanly fast?"My lord, they—"Rowan pointed at the two burly men behind them."Don't ask about things that you shouldn't ask about," Sebastian said, looking down at Nina, who was still in a coma.He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her complexion was becoming rosy once more.After arriving back in Mount Klane, Sebastian checked into a five-star hotel at Joaquin's insistence. Once he had settled Nina in, Sebastian called the two Devora to his room."Do you have names?" he asked.The two Devora shook their heads slightly. Like Hugo had said, they had been born of Dragon Energy, and they caught beasts in the mountains for food every day. Why would they have names?"Well, you've got to give me a way to differentiate between you, right? You even
Arran and Rowan asked in confusion, "Aren't we going to look for the Ballard Estate anymore, my lord?"Sebastian turned to look at Arran. "We'll die before we reach the Ballard Estate!"Arran didn't know how powerful Nina was, but Rowan knew better than anyone that Nina was a top expert. If even she had gotten severely injured, Rowan and Arran would have no chance of entering Mount Quiln at all."Arran, trust in Mr. Ballard. Leaving Mount Quiln is the right thing to do!" Rowan said. He held Joaquin safely and asked Sebastian, "What do we do with him, my lord?"Sebastian turned to look at Joaquin. He said impassively, "Joaquin, I should execute you on the spot!"Joaquin immediately knelt and groveled. "Mr. Ballard, I'm willing to be your servant too. Please, if you don't kill me, you can tell me to do anything!""I don't have to kill you, but you mustn't let anything about what happened tonight leak out. Otherwise, I'll kill your entire family!" Sebastian said coldly.Joaquin s
"Do you think it's worth losing all your training to save her? Aren't you afraid of dying?" Hugo couldn't help asking bluntly. Sebastian smiled slightly. "I'm scared! However, she only got into this state because she was trying to save me. How could I just abandon her? We may just be master and servant, but our fates are related!"Hugo couldn't help shaking his head. "Young man, I can only save you this time. As we move forward, I may have trouble even protecting myself. Therefore, take these two items and go home!" Hugo reached out with one hand and dropped the Devora in front of Sebastian. He had been tortured half to death.The Devora was panting heavily. Although he understood that Hugo couldn't kill him, the endless torture was worse than death."Bite the tip of your tongue and wipe the blood on his brow!" Hugo instructed blandly.Sebastian held Nina up with one hand and did as Hugo had said. "Now say, the servant dies with the master, and heaven and earth bear witness!"
In less than a minute, the Devora was sent flying over ten times. The strange thing was that no matter how many times he was sent flying or how hard the impact was, he didn't bleed at all. Sebastian was secretly shocked. "Do you know why you were defeated so badly?" Hugo tapped his finger again as he spoke.Sebastian shook his head. Before that day, he hadn't even known what a Devora was. How could he possibly know why he had failed so badly? It must just be a question of skill!"How bold of you. You didn't even know the history of a Devora, and yet you dared to enter the mountain?" Hugo laughed wryly."Aren't Devoras one of the nine sons of the dragon?" Sebastian asked, looking up. Hugo spat disdainfully and asked, "Who told you that? Roveras are one of the dragon's sons, but Devoras aren't!"As he spoke, Hugo tossed a blood-red pill out and said, "Let her eat it. Use your blood essence and this pill to save her."Sebastian was startled. How could he obtain his blood esse
"A Devora? Oh no!" Samson suddenly returned to his senses. He almost rushed out through the gates, but then flames roared up around him. A wall of fire that was several hundred feet high blocked his path! Samson was Sebastian's father. After being imprisoned in the house over ten years ago, Samson had become cut off from the world. He had thought that he would never be able to see his wife and son again. Getting news of Sebastian once more was very unexpected!However, Sebastian had come across the Devoras. He was almost certainly going to die!In Samson's anxiety, he had even forgotten the Fyre Spell that had been set up around the house, which was why he had run right into the spell center and triggered the Fyre!Samson felt extremely anxious as he looked at the Fyre Spell, but he was unable to take even half a step out. "Hugo!" Samson roared at the Fyre Spell.As he shouted, an old man in long, white robes slowly materialized out of nowhere. "Well? Have you thought thi
"Indigo Thunder Shield!" Sebastian chanted under his breath as he used all his strength. A purple flash of lightning appeared around Sebastian. There was a blast as the punch landed heavily on his body. It felt like a falling meteor as it clashed with the indigo lightning! A loud sound boomed in the area, like a mountain exploding, and Sebastian flew backward.The burly man felt equally uncomfortable. The indigo lightning had shocked him so much that his legs had gone numb. "How many other tricks do you have up your sleeve?" The Devora stood up straight and advanced on Sebastian, who was lying on the ground!…In the mountains, in the backyard of the Ballard Estate, Andreas was holding a tablet and pointing at Sebastian and Nina on the screen. They were both throwing up blood and lying on the ground. He said to Whitney, "Whitney, I am not against you fasting, but—"Andreas grinned and asked, "Can you really bear watching Sebastian and that thousand-year-old snake deity ju
