Chapter 29

Penulis: Wendell Mayhew
In an instant, the hall went silent.

Whitney's expression was extremely unpleasant.

She did not expect Sebastian to be this staunch and merciless.

Even though she was pleading with him, he refused to back down.

He was not like that in the past.

Did the divorce change him?

"Must you be so heartless, Sebastian?" Whitney asked.

Sebastian snorted before retorting with a piercing gaze, "Let me ask you this, Ms. Sutton. If I had failed to save Mr. Whitaker Senior today, and Fergus seized the chance to ruin me, would you be pleading for mercy on my behalf too?"

"I …" Whitney could not answer. Her eyes flickered.

Sebastian laughed mockingly before saying, "Don't bother answering. Your hesitation tells me everything I need to know. So, why should I let Fergus off the hook?"

Frowning, Whitney had more to say, but Sebastian walked up to Fergus and looked down at him. Then, he raised his feet and said coldly, "My shoe's dirty, Mr. Cobb. Please lick it clean for me."

    "Think whatever you want. My conscience is clear!" Sebastian declared icily.He was truly disheartened that Whitney had become someone who could not distinguish right from wrong."You're only saying that because you can't think of a way to defend yourself anymore!" Whitney fumed before running after Fergus.Mabel glowered at Sebastian before following Whitney.Sebastian took a deep breath to calm himself down."Are you okay, Dr. Ballard?" Rosalie asked worriedly.Sebastian nodded and said, "I'm fine. Join me for a walk.""Sure," Rosalie agreed with a playful smile.After saying a few words to Isabel and the others, Sebastian walked out of the hall and headed to the garden.The atmosphere in the hall made him feel stifled and annoyed.…Meanwhile, Whitney went after Fergus and called out, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Cobb. Let me apologize on Sebastian's behalf. I didn't expect him to be so unreasonable today."Fergus exhaled and said resentfully, "It has nothing to do with you, Ms. S

    Whitney found herself in a tough spot. She had to approach Sebastian again for the sake of Frostwave Corporation.Meanwhile, Sebastian and Rosalie strolled through the long corridor of the estate. Rosalie walked beside Sebastian with her hands behind her back. She was playfully kicking her feet as they strolled along. This made her look like she was full of youthful energy, "Dr. Ballard, the way you dealt with your ex-wife earlier—aren't you worried she might start resenting you?" Rosalie asked cautiously.Sebastian, with hands in his pockets, chuckled lightly. "It doesn't bother me much. If she wants to hold a grudge, that's on her. There isn't much love left between us anyway."Rosalie giggled and asked, "So, Dr. Ballard, have you ever thought about finding a new wife?"Sebastian was caught off guard. Find a new wife?"It's not that simple. Who would want to marry a good-for-nothing like me?" Sebastian chuckled, finding Rosalie's perspective a bit naive."Well, I would,

    Rosalie was a bit awkward initially, but when she heard Whitney criticizing Sebastian, her expression changed abruptly. Rosalie coldly retorted, "Oh really? I find Dr. Ballard quite impressive. At least, he's way more capable than Fergus."Whitney raised an eyebrow, suppressing her inner frustration."Sebastian, we need to talk," Whitney said after a brief pause.Sebastian, unfazed, deadpanned, "What else is there to talk about?"Frowning, Whitney suggested, "Let's discuss this over there. It's not convenient with an outsider around."With that, Whitney headed toward the nearby lounge area.When she realized Sebastian hadn't followed, Whitney stopped. Her expression displayed some displeasure."Ms. Griffin isn't an outsider. If you've got something to say, say it here," Sebastian stated coldly.Rosalie, standing close, couldn't help but enjoy the drama. With her hands on her hips, she even playfully stuck her tongue out at Whitney. It infuriated Whitney."Do we really have t

    Sebastian fell silent. After a while, he sighed, "I won't give you the acupuncture technique."It was a flat-out rejection. Whitney was stunned. She never expected Sebastian to refuse her.It had only been a few days since their divorce, and he had changed completely."Sebastian, I finally see your true colors!" Whitney exclaimed, giving him a resentful glare before turning to leave.Tears welled up in her eyes, but she couldn't cry. She wouldn't show her vulnerable side to Sebastian.As she took a few steps away, Sebastian's voice echoed behind her. "However, I'll share the acupuncture technique online."Whitney paused in her steps. Not looking back, she continued walking.Watching Whitney's lonely and pitiful figure, Sebastian felt a twinge of pain in his heart."Dr. Ballard, why would you do this? Isn't this indirectly helping her?" Rosalie asked, puzzled.If the acupuncture technique was shared online, that would be indirectly aiding Frostwave Corporation.Rosalie wonde

    Whitney hesitated briefly before a frosty expression settled on her face as her eyes blazed with anger. "That jerk! How dare he threaten me! We'll see who gets the last laugh," she declared in a cold tone.Mabel swiftly exchanged a knowing look with Fergus upon noting Whitney's resolve. She then suggested, "There's no need for you to dirty your hands, Ms. Sutton. Mr. Cobb and I have a plan. Since Sebastian wronged us first, we should repay him in kind."Mr. Cobb has lots of friends. We can use that to our advantage and teach Sebastian a lesson. Given his lowly status, it's about time he learned his place!"Whitney was shocked by her words and questioned, "What are you planning to do?""Rest assured, Ms. Sutton. We're just planning to hit him where it hurts; he won't be fatally harmed. "We know about his shop, but imagine if it were to go up in flames. He'd have no choice but to turn to you for help," Mabel suggested with a sinister undertone.Fergus added, "Just act like you

    "Watch your mouth, Tim Thames! You're standing in Steinberg, not in Jovenshire. Mr. Ballard is an esteemed guest of the Griffin family, and your contempt is a disrespect to us all. "Say another word, and you're out of this house!" Rosalie asserted with firmness, a stark departure from her once meek and timid demeanorTim Thames nonchalantly shrugged and wore a casual grin."The Griffin family's young lady is quite the sharp-tongued one," he snickered. Behind him, a row of formidable bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses stood proudly.Rosalie responded with a disdainful snort, her presence commanding respect.Witnessing this transformation, Sebastian couldn't help but be amazed. He had always perceived Rosalie as meek and timid, but her assertiveness proved she was more than that.Little did he know Rosalie was renowned as the cold and ruthless Witch of Janover. Even the Four Heirs of Janover were no match for her. From a young age, she had carved a name for herself in

    Rosalie nodded and signaled the butler to usher in the specialist. The specialist who emerged was a slender young man sporting a hawk nose and beady eyes. Clad in a green robe, he carried a quaint suitcase."May I present Mr. Jimmy Xeno from Cozind," Rosalie announced with a welcoming smile, prompting nods of recognition from everyone in the inner courtyard.Jimmy Xeno gracefully bowed and suggested with a smile, "Apologies for the wait. Shall we proceed to check out the wares?"Opening his suitcase, he presented a silver plate adorned with meticulous carvings. The exquisite artifact radiated a soothing warmth, capturing everyone's attention and leaving them in awe of its power.Gasps of admiration echoed through the air as everyone marveled at the extraordinary artifact.It was their first encounter with such an impressive protective artifact, and its sheer power hinted at a hefty price tag. If Rosalie's descriptions held true, its value would be immeasurable. Even Sebastia

    "You despicable scoundrel!" Luca seethed with anger.With a face flushed with fury, Luca barked out, "Ms. Griffin, kick this ignorant troublemaker out at once!"The other guests chimed in with their displeasure and disdain."This insolent brat dares to challenge Mr. Goodman," a man scoffed."He's making up stories! He should know his place," someone sneered."If his words hold true, is he accusing Mr. Xeno of being a fraud?" another guest snickered.Despite the crowd's furious reproach, Sebastian remained cool and collected."What are you waiting for, Ms. Griffin? Hurry and get this man out!" Luca urged in frustration.Rosalie raised an eyebrow, a cold smirk playing on her lips. She retorted, "What gives you the right to command me, Mr. Goodman? It seems you don't understand the situation. "Mr. Ballard is an esteemed guest of the Griffin family, and I won't kick him out even if you want me to."He expressed his dissatisfaction, saying, "You should know I'm an esteemed geom

    Kayden soon received news of how Sebastian had broken into the Berkeley clan hall the night before.He was furious. Who did Sebastian think he was? Was the Berkeleys' clan hall the kind of place that people could just walk in and out of as they pleased?"Mr. Berkeley, shall we go and see the clan hall later? After all, Ms. Candy is still there," Jayden said in an ingratiating tone.He had only managed to latch onto Kayden through his connection with Colton. This was a rare opportunity for him to make a comeback.That was why he had spent quite a large sum of money on Kayden recently. He had already gifted him over a dozen high-quality emerald pieces.Kayden wouldn't have been impressed by him if he hadn't done so."Do we need to? Sebastian is sure to die this time! Rocco is annoying me more right now. How dare he neglect me just because he thinks he's found a strong ally in Sebastian?"Kayden had seen clearly how obsequious and respectful Rocco had been to Sebastian while ignori

    "You've done many evil deeds, and it's time for the Berkeleys to be destroyed!" Sebastian exclaimed. He summoned back his 18 clones with a single thought while he raised Purity. "No!" Violet screamed at the top of her lungs.There was a dull thump, and a head flew high into the air. A dark energy that looked both like a snake and like a human shot out at once. Sebastian wasn't going to let her have a chance of escaping. He tossed out four yellow paper charms at the same time. They formed a Nullcurse Spell and trapped both of Violet's souls within it."When I say die, I mean that your soul and spirit will be destroyed! You won't have a chance at finding another host!"Sebastian raised his palm and upturned it slightly as he said, "Destroy!""Sebastian, you'll come to a tragic end!"There was a blast as countless bolts of gold light burst forth and pierced the dark shadow, which looked both like a snake and a human.In the blink of an eye, the dark figure had disintegrated in t

    In the end, even the scales on Lucius' body had been swiped off by the blows. Huge pieces of scales were torn off his body along with his skin and flesh. With every piece of scale that was torn off, he let out a bloodcurdling scream."Aargh! Please have mercy! I won't ever act recklessly again! Have mercy!"Lucius was now completely bloodied from the beating he had received. He was covered with wounds that went deep to the bone, and he was bleeding profusely. Even Violet couldn't bear to look at him.He no longer had the dignity of the ancestral being of the Berkeleys, and he had lost his domineering air. "You won't? Hmph! What are you going to say about that snake curse in her, then?" Sebastian asked, pointing at Candy. Lucius almost burst into tears. He didn't know anything about what they had done to Candy. Besides, once the soul of a snake began to merge with that of a human, they would become an entwined soul.He had only ever heard of a secret art that could separate an e

    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
