"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
Mabel nodded and left the CEO's office. Returning to her own office, she scrutinized the sales data and noticed the explosive growth of Sebastian's Arctic Snow Mask. At this rate, it could actually surpass the company's facial mask. She couldn't allow it to happen. Absolutely not!After some careful consideration, Mabel tidied up her things and grabbed her bag. She was heading straight to Sebastian's small shop. Regardless, she had to give it a try. If necessary, she would take a more aggressive approach!Mabel arrived at the shop just as Sebastian and Rosalie were about to leave. When she saw Rosalie, her expression changed slightly. Sebastian also noticed Mabel getting out of her car and raised an eyebrow, teasingly saying, "Well, well, look who's here! What brings the esteemed Ms. Lucero down to my humble abode?"Mabel frowned and glanced at Sebastian before exchanging greetings with Rosalie. Then, she turned to Sebastian and coolly said, "Sebastian, there's something I n
"Let me tell you, you're still far from it!" Mabel said.Her words upset Rosalie, and she retorted, "Ms Lucero, don't you think that's a bit too much?"Mabel rolled her eyes at Rosalie. "Ms. Griffin, I'm not going to say anything much to you because you're part of the Griffin family. But I think I have the right to criticize Sebastian."She continued, "Also, just helping a fellow woman out, don't get too close to men like Sebastian. It's not worth it."Rosalie was furious and said, "That's none of your business."Mabel glanced at Rosalie, not wanting to argue further, then turned to Sebastian. "Think it over, Sebastian. By cooperating with us, you'll gain access to more promotional resources to help your company grow. "Besides, let's not forget, Ms. Sutton is your ex-wife. Do you really need to collaborate with others? No matter how you choose, Frostwave Corporation is your best option."However, Sebastian shook his head indifferently. "Goodbye, Ms. Lucero.""You!" Mabel's exp
"A hundred-year-old snow lily?"Rosalie was puzzled, but she didn't ask too much. She quickly called the owner of Lockwit Traditional Medicine.After hanging up, Rosalie exclaimed happily. "Mr. Ballard, they have one snow lily in stock, and it's a hundred years old!"Sebastian was indeed delighted when he heard that, and Rosalie stepped on the gas.…Whitney brought Crystal and Dante to Lockwit Traditional Medicine, and she was parking their car."Mom, are you sure that expert can cure Ms. Hanson?" Whitney asked, concerned.Although Brad kept apologizing to her all night, Whitney knew that the Hanson family wouldn't just let the matter rest. If they could cure Louis, it might ease the trouble between her and the Hanson family."Do you really think I would lie to you?" Crystal retorted, raising an eyebrow at her. Dante chimed in and said, "Winnie, don't worry. I've met that master before, and he's really amazing! I've personally witnessed him heal someone's broken hand!""Rea
Dante chuckled and patted Harvey on the shoulder. "Mr. Harmon, you're a sensible man. Please bring out the snow lily."Mr. Harmon smiled and went to the back room, returning with a square wooden box. Upon opening it, the delightful fragrance of the snow lily filled the air."This is the snow lily," Harvey said with a smile.Crystal wasted no time and boldly presented her card. "Swipe it!"Whitney frowned slightly, feeling uneasy about her mother and brother's actions. It felt like they were seizing the opportunity without considering the consequences.However, realizing the urgency of the situation with Louis needing the snow lily, she reluctantly accepted the course of action. She planned to compensate the original buyer later.But just as Harvey was about to process the payment, a shrill voice echoed from the entrance. "Wait! We clearly reserved this snow lily. Why are you selling it to them?!"The group turned to look and saw a man and a woman walking in. It was Sebastian and
As Dante's words trailed off, Rosalie's hand swiftly met his cheek with a resounding slap. The sound echoed loudly, filling the store. Dante was stunned. His eyes widened as he stared at Rosalie. His cheek stung from the impact.It took Dante a moment to react, his pupils constricted, his face flushing red as he roared, "How dare you lay a hand on me? You bitch, do you even know who I am? I swear I'll…"Dante was furious. It was the first time a woman had publicly slapped him—a great shame for a man of his stature."And do you know who I am?" Rosalie retorted coldly, tossing her hair with an air of undeniable pride."I don't care who you are!" Dante was about to slap Rosalie when Whitney shouted anxiously, "Stop!" Then, she grabbed his arm.Dante paused, turning to Whitney with a whine, "Winnie, what are you doing? This vile woman hit me!"However, Whitney also swung her hand, delivering a slap to Dante's face. She coldly commanded, "Leave!""Winnie, why did you hit me?!" Dant
Whitney frowned and glanced at the snow lily on the table. Before she could say anything, Crystal hurriedly said with a smile, "Very well, Ms. Griffin, we'll give you the snow lily."Following suit, Dante chimed in with a forced smile, "Yes, yes, it's all yours."Rosalie chuckled lightly and headed toward the counter, reaching out to take the snow lily. However, Whitney suddenly raised her hand, her fair fingers pressing firmly on the box. With a hint of firmness in her tone, she said, "Ms. Griffin, I'm sorry, but Mr. Harmon has already sold the snow lily to us."In that fleeting moment, Whitney made a bold decision. She refused to let go! She refused to lose to Rosalie, especially not with Sebastian present!Upon hearing this, Rosalie's eyebrow raised in displeasure as she questioned, "Ms. Sutton, do you know what you're saying?"Crystal and Dante beside her grew anxious. Initially, they hadn't wanted to yield, but now that they knew Rosalie's identity, they dared not compete.
"Mr. Ballard, did I do something wrong?" Rosalie asked, sounding guilty. Sebastian chuckled. "No."Then, they left Lockwit Traditional Medicine after Rosalie bought the snow lily.…Whitney returned to the company, standing angrily by the floor-to-ceiling window as she glared at Rosé Corporation across the street. "Sebastian! You jerk!" she cursed under her breath. Crystal and Dante followed her in, both sitting on the sofa with sour expressions."Winnie, what's the deal with Ms. Griffin? How did she end up with that jerk, Sebastian?" Crystal asked, clearly perplexed.Dante, equally disgruntled, rubbed his cheek and muttered, "And I got slapped! Damn it! Just thinking about it makes me furious! She's just some lady from the Griffin family, what's with all the pretense!"Whitney turned toward them, glowering at Dante. "Could you tone it down a bit?"Dante grimaced. He looked frustrated as he asked, "Winnie, what's the deal with that useless guy? How did he end up with the G
"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
The dark shadow stretched out a large hand toward Nina. It appeared to be planning on tearing off her clothes. "Die?" Nina burst into laughter. How dare a ghost who was only around 300 years old talk to her about dying? As the smile stiffened on Nina's face, she bared her teeth, revealing fangs. Her scarlet eyes looked up impassively at the dark shadow above her head. "Aargh!" When the gigantic, dark shadow saw Nina's true form, it turned to try and escape, but it was too close to her that it was impossible for it to do so.It had only taken one step backward before Nina reached out and yanked it back."Have mercy, my lady!" The giant shadow disappeared and became a dark and scrawny-looking ghost that was less than five feet tall. "How dare you disrupt my dreams? You deserve to disintegrate into nothing!"Nina raised her hand and pressed down on top of the dark and scrawny ghost's head. "No!"The dark and scrawny ghost fell to its knees with a thump before Nina and sa
The Sacred Medicine Secret Annals also contained mystic spells from the Demon Sect. However, it was clearly written that those who practiced them would suffer divine punishment if they were to excel in it!Those were very heavy words indeed. How evil did those spells have to be if they would bring down divine punishment on those who excelled in practicing them?"Hmph! Stop trying to act as if you're smart in front of me. Have you ever seen such amazing spells? Believe it or not, I can kill your entire family with a click of my fingers?"There was a sinister tinge to Egbert's smile. With ordinary people, Egbert would only have to send out a thought to kill the entire family of his opponent instantly.However, Sebastian was being very dismissive of him. Evil spells like those required the supernatural spirit behind Egbert to sense the opponent's energy, after which they would use the same energy to find their family members.The process wasn't as mysterious as Egbert made it out
Those deceptive tricks appeared impressive, but those who Egbert healed would only end up in an even worse state, suffering even more."I haven't committed any crimes. How can I accept my punishment?" Sebastian asked disinterestedly.Brayden sneered. "You're not the one who decides whether you've committed a crime or not. Come! Subdue this defiant man!"Subdue Sebastian? Who would dare to do such a thing?The law enforcement hall members exchanged looks.Upon seeing this, Egbert stepped forward and said arrogantly, "Young man, you've seen what I can do. Compared to me, you martial arts practitioners aren't worthy of mention at all. I'll be lenient on you because you're young and ignorant. Just give up and come quietly!"Egbert was different from ordinary deacons in the Martial Arts Court. He had been hired specially as a mystic spells expert.When compared with mystic spells or cultivation, so-called martial arts weren't worthy of mention at all.That was because all mystic spe
