"Stephen, are you afraid now? You're a man! Sebastian has swallowed it, now you don't dare to?" Rosalie tried to provoke him.Western Venom maintained his confidence as Stephen nervously looked at him. "Mr. Beckard, rest assured and eat. I will give you the antidote."Upon hearing this, Stephen gritted his teeth and mustered his courage. "I'll eat it! You think I'm afraid of you?"With determination, he swallowed the black pill from Sebastian's hand, immediately contorting his face in discomfort. "This tastes awful..."Sebastian smiled faintly.After completely ingesting the pill, Stephen turned to Western Venom and cried out in distress, "Western Venom, quickly help me! Antidote!"Western Venom calmly nodded, taking out a crimson pill from his pocket. "Mr. Beckard, this is the antidote for the Devil's Pill."Stephen snatched it and swallowed it hurriedly. Soon after, he felt as if drenched in cold water, slumping into a chair, gasping for air.He narrowly escaped death!Howev
"This is why the antidote he gave you was useless."Western Venom and Stephen's face turned ugly when they heard Sebastian's words."You fooled us!" Stephen and Western Venom growled at the same time.Western Venom was so mad he wanted to get physical.However, Stephen glared at him, making him step back."Fine, Sebastian. I'll admit you do have some tricks up your sleeves. We will meet again in the future! Just you wait!" Stephen said angrily before clutching his stomach and preparing to leave.However, Sebastian said, "Mr. Beckard, I suggest you don't go out for now.""What do you mean?" Stephen turned around and questioned.Sebastian shrugged. "It's simple; although it's just normal laxatives, there are some side effects.""What side effects?" Stephens' expression changed.Sebastian chuckled. "For example, you might shart.""What? Shart?" Stephan's face turned livid.Then, he farted, which caused all of the other people's faces to change.Then, Stephen could be seen hol
Walking out of the hospital, Whitney wore a puzzled and bewildered expression. Just now, Brad kept apologizing to her and even promised that once Louis woke up, he would personally come over to apologize to her. What was going on?Whitney was baffled. Sebastian was the one who had injured Louis, yet Brad didn't seem angry or upset at all. Instead, he was apologizing to her. Whitney shook her head in disbelief, feeling thoroughly confused.Moreover, during her conversation with Brad, Whitney sensed a hint of respect and fear toward Sebastian. Could the problem lie with Sebastian?No, Whitney needed to figure out what was really going on.With that thought in mind, Whitney took out her phone and dialed Sebastian's number.Sebastian and Rosalie were taking a stroll when Sebastian received Whitney's call. He furrowed his brows slightly."Ms. Sutton, it's quite late. What's the matter?" Sebastian asked calmly.Whitney cut to the chase. "Where are you?"Sebastian replied trut
"Hmph!" Whitney was so mad that she got back into her car and drove away.Sebastian heard the commotion at the door and quickly dumped Rosalie onto the sofa. Turning around, he saw Whitney leaving angrily in her car."Oh no, another misunderstanding," Sebastian thought to himself."It's not my fault, Mr. Ballard..." Rosalie shrugged innocently, also noticing Whitney's departure.Sebastian sighed heavily, feeling helpless. "Do you want to go back by yourself, or should I call someone to pick you up?""Do I look like I can drive with this?" Rosalie gestured toward her swollen ankle.Sebastian nodded in resignation. "I'll call someone to pick you up."Rosalie immediately suggested with a smile, "How about I stay here tonight?""Stay here?" Sebastian's voice rose several octaves. "Are you out of your mind?"Sebastian couldn't help but wonder what Rosalie was thinking. Two of them alone in a room for the night... It was a recipe for disaster."Duh. Look outside, it's late! Are y
"The third?" Whitney muttered with a frown.To be honest, she was impressed that Sebastian's face mask was able to rise to third place when he couldn't even market or promote it.Mabel noticed Whitney's change of expression and said, "Ms. Sutton, I know what you're thinking about. Don't go back to him because of his little company and some face masks. He isn't that great. He's just trying to suppress you and become your competitor.She added, "Also, think about his company name, Rosé Corporation! It's a company he opened with Rosalie Griffin! It's really obvious that he's trying to get her attention to gain more benefits when she falls for him!"Whitney's mood suddenly turned sour after hearing Mabel's words. She wondered if that was Sebastian's exact thoughts. Her brow furrowed, and she looked puzzled. "Mabel," Whitney said, "I don't think Sebastian is that kind of person."Mabel immediately jumped up and said, "Ms. Sutton, don't think he's a good man just because he saved you
What did Whitney see? Did she misunderstand anything? Should Sebastian call her and ask?After giving it some thought, Sebastian sighed and thought it was fine. Things had turned out this way, so it was pointless to explain."Ah!"Suddenly, he heard Rosalie scream from inside his bedroom. "What is it?" Sebastian was stunned and wanted to run there.What was wrong with this girl again?Before Sebastian could reach her, Rosalie ran in with a phone in her hand. She looked excited as she hugged Sebastian and exclaimed, "Number three! Third place!"Sebastian was confused. "What third place?"Wait a minute, what was this soft feeling?Sebastian was stunned. Looking down, he saw Rosalie hugging him without caring about her image. She was even wearing his shirt!Her full bosom and warm body suddenly aroused Sebastian.He tried his best to suppress his arousal as he pushed Rosalie away. With an awkward cough, he asked, "What's number three?"Rosalie suddenly felt shy and blushed. W
Sebastian? The assistant was stunned. "Ms. Lucero, is Sebastian the CEO's ex-husband?" he asked.Mabel glared at him and said, "Don't ask too many questions. Do you know what to say if Ms. Sutton asks about this?"The assistant nodded. "Of course. I'll just say nothing happened.""Okay, you may leave," Mabel said coldly.The assistant left her office, leaving the angry Mabel alone.Sebastian is such a jerk! How dare he talk arrogantly? Mabel scoffed at the thought that he wanted her to apologize for a chance to collaborate. Not a chance!…Meanwhile, Sebastian just woke up. He was checking the sales data on his phone. They were at number two now with 12 thousand sales, which was quite fast.Based on this progress, they might be at the top soon.He glanced at Frostwave Corporation's facial mask, which was still in first place. They had a whopping sales of 50 thousand, and it was still increasing.It was amazing, for sure. There was already an uproar in Steinberg's skincare
"Don't try to talk me out of it. I'm just using my own recipe," Sebastian said.Rosalie was helpless, and she nodded. "Alright then."Then, she said with a smile, "There's still time before the competition. What are you planning to do later?""Probably look around in the traditional medicine shops. I wanna get some medicine."After calculating the time, the poison in Sebastian's body might appear in the next two weeks. Before it happened, he wanted to concoct a specific pill to suppress the poison.Plus, he also wanted to gather some medicinal herbs and refine more Navitas pills, as well as other pills. After his recent breakthrough in strength, Sebastian felt confident enough to refine other pills as well. Even some of the martial arts and arcane arts taught to him by his masters could now be studied.Sebastian was someone who sought stability. Without reaching the corresponding level of strength, he wouldn't take risks. Now, with the fourth level of Energy Refining Techniqu
Javier fell with a thump onto the floor. He stared dazedly as Kayden was tied to a long bench with a rope."Bring in the family members of the victim. Who from the law enforcement hall will carry out the punishment?" Sebastian demanded.He pulled out a silver needle and pierced one of Kayden's acupuncture points, which would make him more alert.When a man in a wheelchair was pushed into the hall by a young woman who looked very frail, Sebastian stood up quickly.He said to the young man, "Kayden is the reason your family's fallen apart. We'll torture him to death very soon.""That asshole! He deserves to be slashed a million times!" the young man yelled at Kayden, clenching his fists tightly."Don't get agitated. He won't die before he gets cut 7,000 times. Although you don't have the right to carry out the execution, you can splash salt water over his wounds!"Sebastian took a bucket from one of the law enforcement hall apprentices and placed it in front of the young man."Se
At least that man had not had to grovel to the perpetrators to thank them. Not only did Brayden have to grovel to the law enforcement hall men, he even had to thank them!After about four hours, when Kayden had pulled up his pants, he went over to Brayden and said in a slightly ashamed tone, "Inspector Jefferson, I… I had no choice!"He sounded as if he was completely innocent.Brayden wanted to murder him. Just a minute earlier, when Joaquin had called out his name, he had been shaking with excitement. He had even forgotten about the pain of having his crotch injured and lunged toward Darla like a hungry wolf. Now, he was standing in front of Brayden, acting innocent?Brayden had only gotten into this state because of Kayden!After sending away all the reporters, Joaquin sent a message to Sebastian. In less than ten minutes, Sebastian sauntered back into the restaurant. He glanced at Darla, who was lying on the floor with a vacant look in her eyes. Sebastian patted Brayden's sh
If the incident was broadcast, it would be sure to cause an uproar, and Boren would become the center of the storm.However, Sebastian had made up his mind, and Joaquin didn't dare to try and dissuade him. He had no choice but to do as Sebastian had commanded and call over the news teams from all three states' television stations.Since the head director of a state was calling them personally, none of them dared to refuse. In less than two hours, the news teams from all three state television stations had arrived and were in position."What news are we broadcasting today, Mr. Ballard?" a female reporter asked Sebastian.She had seen how messy the place was, and there didn't seem to be anything for them to report about."Later, these people are going to help a family improve the gene pool, and I need you to broadcast the entire process live. Before you do, please play a recording of a phone call from Inspector Jefferson," Sebastian said. He sent the recording of the phone call
"Kneel!" Sebastian suddenly yelled.Brayden yelped with fear and fell to his knees."Sebastian, I… I'm a tristate inspector of the Martial Arts Court!"At that point, Brayden's final hope was his authority and position. He didn't want to die, and he especially didn't want to die for no reason.He just wanted to win favor with the ancestral being of the Berkeleys and get some tips on how to get a longer life."Call your wife! I'll give you two hours. If she doesn't come, you'll be tortured to death as well. I can tell you clearly that I'm a doctor, and I have ways to keep you alive until you get slashed 3,600 times with a knife!" Sebastian said icily."I…"Brayden trembled as he pulled out his phone. His mind had gone blank, and it took him a long time to find his wife's phone number. Her name was Darla Wyllis. "Hello? Honey? A handbag caught my eye today, but that stupid store actually refused to give it to me for free! It's a lousy handbag that only costs about 500 thousand d
Jayden had only gone a few steps, but he had no choice but to stop. He turned and grimaced at the Berkeleys and Brayden, who were all looking in his direction.He was filled with regret. He should have made his escape earlier instead of coming back with Brayden. Egbert and Yorrick were clearly fools. One of them had maimed himself and ended up vomiting blood relentlessly, while the other stood there like an idiot for Sebastian to slap him. He would be surprised if either of them could defeat Sebastian.As everyone was watching him, Jayden had no choice but to return to his previous spot. He looked nervously at Yorrick, praying inwardly that the old man would somehow get more skilled. He couldn't let Sebastian screw him over!"This is the last slap, old man. Do you still have any feeling in your face?" Sebastian asked, raising his palm."Damn you!" Yorrick swore violently. However, one of his front teeth had been knocked out earlier when he was slapped, and air escaped noisily t
The entire left side of Yorrick's face had become so numb that he couldn't feel a thing."Young man, just now you already hit me—""I only slapped you once!" Sebastian interrupted, holding up a finger.Yorrick spat and said, "How could one slap have made so many noises?"Sebastian replied innocently, "Everyone here can testify that I only hit you once, and I did it very slowly too. You all saw it, didn't you?"The onlookers nodded quickly, especially the experts from the law enforcement hall. They still couldn't figure out how an expert at Yorrick's level could have been sent flying through the air by a weak slap like that from Sebastian.What puzzled them the most was that Yorrick had clearly landed in a very safe spot. Why had he insisted on rolling into a pile of broken glass and gotten such a gaping wound on his face?"Fine!" Yorrick clenched his teeth and suppressed the pain in the right side of his face. "There are still two moves left!" he said viciously."Will you com
Sebastian nodded slightly. Yorrick had probably killed the young man because the latter was proficient in mystic spells and was already on the brink of the threshold. That could be the only reason for Yorrick's senseless deedThere were some people who couldn't bear seeing people who were stronger than them, which was why they made their move before their opponent could grow and develop."Are you really going to concede three moves to me, old man?" Sebastian stepped forward, grinning."Of course!" Yorrick answered, staring arrogantly at him.He still hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary with Sebastian, so he assumed that Sebastian was just an ordinary guy. He had probably only been able to defeat so many experts—including Egbert—because he had used some kind of trick. Egbert had lost because he had fallen into Sebastian's trap, not because of the latter's skills. That was why Egbert ended up suffering from the backlash of the ghost he had nurtured and lost his powers."I'll
"Young man, you're so cruel. Have you ever thought of the consequences of your actions?" Yorrick asked. He put his hands behind his back as he walked slowly toward Sebastian. Sebastian eyed Yorrick, whose training was at least on the same level as Egbert's. Besides, what he had studied was also a kind of spell. He and Sebastian specialized in the same study.The moment Yorrick got angry, Sebastian had sensed the faint power of Dainist principles from him."No blows are kind, and neither are harsh words! Why do you people feel that others should meekly allow you to beat them up? When your people are injured, you immediately think of it as the other party's mistake! That doesn't make any sense!" Sebastian answered coldly."Mr. Irving, kill that asshole!" Kayden said viciously. He was still clutching his crotch with one hand while he pointed at Sebastian with his other hand. Beside them, Jayden said defiantly, "Mr. Irving, you must not let this guy go! He's ruthless and extremely
Huh? Egbert frowned involuntarily. He had never felt that way before. What was going on? There was a loud blast, and the gigantic statue suddenly appeared out of thin air. At the same time, Egbert suddenly felt his blood churning inside him, and he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.He was about to turn and run when a black bolt of light hit him in the back. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew through the air like a broken kite. "Oh! Are you actually a sadist, old man?" Sebastian asked, smiling.Before Egbert could scramble up again, yet another bolt of dark light flew toward him."Damn it!"Egbert could no longer be conscious of his image and dignity. He swore at once. The dark light was aimed at his energy reserve. If he was hit, his decades of training would be completely ruined. However, he had plenty of life experience and had been through many such situations. When he saw the dark light flying toward him, he rolled across the floor like a bal
