Sebastian was in the shop when he suddenly got Whitney's call. He frowned slightly and said, "Yes. I hit them."Sebastian admitted it honestly. He had no intention of hiding it. Whitney was furious! "Sebastian, you asshole! How dare you hit my brother? Did you know that you broke his arm? You wouldn't even do that to an enemy! Do you hate him that much?"Even if I divorced you, there's no need for you to get revenge on my family!"Sebastian, I finally know the real you! You're just an absolutely despicable, petty person! Divorcing a violent person like you was the best thing that's ever happened to me!" Sebastian's expression changed, and his brow furrowed deeper. He didn't explain or retort, but he was disappointed and resigned. They had been together for three years, but Whitney didn't trust him at all. She hadn't even asked why he did it and had just started rebuking and criticizing him. He breathed out slowly and laughed quietly. There was a self-deprecating note to it
The words seemed to explode in the hospital room. Dante and Crystal were both on the bed, and they looked delighted at her words. Sebastian was stunned. After a long moment, he spoke up. "Alright. I'll move out later." With that, he hung up. Whitney was equally stunned for a long time. She stood frozen where she was, and it took her ages to release her grip on her phone. She did not know why, but at that moment, her heart suddenly felt empty. It felt like something she had been anticipating for a long time had suddenly disappeared. This feeling upset Whitney. She felt like she had personally destroyed something very important to her. At that moment, she suddenly realized what she had done. She had just been speaking out of anger. If Sebastian left the shop, the two of them really would be completely separated in the future. The shop was the last thing that connected them. If this connection broke, she would never be able to find Sebastian again. Suddenly, Whitney rush
"Winnie, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Fergus asked with concern as he rushed up to her.Whitney looked up and wiped away her tears. She tried to hide it. "There was a speck of dust in my eye. What are you doing here?"She got up quickly.Fergus answered, "I was on a business trip when I heard from Mrs. Sutton that something almost happened to you. I rushed back to see you. Are you alright?""I'm fine." Whitney shook her head and smiled. Fergus breathed out slowly. He looked at the shop in confusion and said, "Why is it closed? Did you come to see Sebastian?"Whitney smiled bitterly and said, "I needed to talk to him about something.""What is it? Can I help?" Fergus asked.Whitney shook her head and said, "It's okay. I've got some work at the office, so I'll be heading back now.""Oh, okay. That's fine," Fergus said, nodding. Whitney was about to get in her car and leave when Fergus asked again, "Oh right, Whitney. Tonight is the medical conference downtown area selec
Sebastian frowned and said, "Familiarize myself with the venue? I don't think we need to do that. I just have to go onstage and refine my prescription properly.""No, no. I'm coming to pick you up. Just do as I say," Rosalie said forcefully.Sebastian could not refuse, so he answered, "Okay, then."After he hung up, Sebastian sent Rosalie the address.Robert smiled meaningfully. "Well, young man. You've got luck with the ladies, hmm? Was that the Griffin heiress?"Sebastian glared at him. Then he nodded and said, "Yes.""She's a pretty good choice! Your horoscopes match too. She's more of a water sign, which can curb the fire in your body." Robert laughed.Sebastian frowned and asked, "How do you know?""Is there anything that the Dragonstone Palace doesn't know? The Griffin heiress is a pretty good choice. But you're going to suffer. You've managed to develop feelings with two women at the same time," Robert reminded him.Sebastian's expression changed slightly. After a wh
Sebastian frowned and walked off the stage with Rosalie.Mabel scowled when she saw Sebastian walking off the stage, and she grumbled, "Oh. It's you."How was she so unlucky? What were the odds that she would meet that bastard here?"Why can't it be me?" Sebastian asked.Mabel was momentarily rendered speechless but regained her composure after she saw Rosalie behind him. Her smile was mocking, and her tone dripped with sarcasm as she said, "I was wondering how a piece of trash like you managed to end up on stage, but I see now it's because you have Ms. Griffin with you."Sebastian paid her no mind and flashed her a mild smile before turning to leave. He had no reason to explain himself to someone like her. However, before he could leave, he was stopped by Henrietta. Henrietta had stared silently at Sebastian throughout the interaction and suddenly extended an elegant hand to Sebastian with a smile, "Hello. I'm Henrietta Queen."Sebastian paused momentarily before he shook he
Though he didn't reject her outright, it was clear that he didn't wish to work with her at all.Mabel's expression soured, and she shot him a glare. "Are you sure?" she challenged."I'm sure," Sebastian replied seriously.With that, he turned to leave.Rosalie followed closely behind him, and she snickered, "I think Mabel's brain must be damaged."Sebastian chuckled in response but didn't say anything, and the two soon left.Mabel was practically stomping her feet in anger at Sebastian's rejection, and she grumbled, "That asshole! We'll see how high and mighty you are later!"Just then, Henrietta came down from the stage, and Mabel asked her worriedly, "How is it? Are you nervous? How confident are you in winning?"Henrietta was a woman of a few words, and she simply said, "Don't worry."Mabel flashed her a grin. "Alright then! I'm waiting for you to win first place in this competition then! Once you win, Frostwave Corporations will announce it on social media, solidifying you
All of Steinberg's citizens had been intrigued by the advertisements. As such, a lot of them had bought tickets to watch the competition live.The ones who hadn't been able to buy tickets resorted to watching the live broadcast instead. After all, the competition tonight was a program specifically created by the Good Crestborne production team!Besides, there were also a lot of people who were curious about traditional medicine.After a few days of teaser trailers, as well as advertisements, practically every platform started discussing the competition.At around 6:00 pm, Rosalie drove Sebastian to the competition venue. By some stroke of luck, they bumped into Whitney, Theresa, Mabel, and Crystal the second they got out of the car. Dante was not with them, probably because he was still in the hospital.When Whitney saw Rosalie and Sebastian together her expression darkened.Rosalie had chosen to dress quite provocatively for the competition. She wore a short, crimson dress wit
Besides, she would only end up hurting herself."Don't forget, Whit, Sebastian is here as a competitor tonight. So technically, the both of you are enemies," Theresa reminded her.Whitney frowned at that, and she had a complicated expression.After a while, she sighed and declared, "I know, but I still want to explain myself to him properly."Crystal panicked and tried to talk Whitney out of her decision, "Winnie! Don't do…""That's enough, Mom," Whitney interrupted. "I also want to ask him why he beat up Dante."After that, Whitney marched resolutely to Sebastian as she called out for him.Sebastian frowned when he heard her and turned to face her. "Yes, Ms. Sutton?" he asked coolly."I have something to talk to you about. Can we talk over there for a second," Whitney asked as she side-eyed Rosalie."Rosalie really was radiant tonight," she thought begrudgingly."There's no need. You can say what you need to say here. After all, we're all acquaintances here," Sebastian repli
Sebastian and Nina arrived at the hotel restaurant for a meal, accompanied by Rocco."Mr. Ballard, please sit here," Rocco said, leading Sebastian to the best seat in the restaurant and shooting the waiter a look.He had instructed the chefs to prepare the food specially for Sebastian before they even arrived. Moments later, a dozen waiters served up beautifully plated dishes of food."Mr. Ballard, this was made specially for you and Ms. Nina by a top chef whom our hotel brought in from Janover. Please enjoy." Sebastian and Nina picked up their cutlery and put some food into their mouths. Nina nodded in satisfaction. "This poached fish is delicious!"Sebastian pointed to a plate of salad opposite him and said, "This salad is also very good!"At that moment, the restaurant doors opened and a large group of people streamed in.Kayden was at the head of the group, with Candy following closely behind him as they entered. The moment Sebastian had returned to Acorn City, someone
Back in Klane City, Javier had already heard one of Joaquin's attendants mention Sebastian, so he knew that Sebastian was someone even Joaquin had to show respect to. That person was now in Acorn City.It wouldn't be very suitable for someone of Javier's age to try and approach Sebastian, and they wouldn't have many common topics either. It was different for Kayden. They were both young men, and Kayden had a wide variety of interests. He knew what young people were interested in, which would make it easier for him to strike up a friendship. If they could get into the good books of someone as influential as Sebastian, they would gain an advantage over Joaquin. In the future, the Berkeleys could even have the ultimate authority in the whole of Boren. "Acorn City is in such a remote area. What kind of important figure would come here?" Kayden asked dismissively. Javier thought for a moment before asking, "Don't you think that someone who can make Joaquin humble himself is an im
Cohen bowed deeply to Sebastian as he spoke.Sebastian waved a hand dismissively and said, "It's alright, Mr. Gabbard. Mount Quiln is very dangerous, and that expert from a mystic sect has disappeared without a trace. "If you don't want to let more people become desiccated corpses, it'll be better to seal off the entrance to Mount Quiln and prevent anyone from entering!" Joaquin immediately said to Cohen, "Did you hear that? Starting today, Mount Acorn Martial Arts Court must send someone to seal off the entrance. No one is allowed to go in or out!""Yes, sir!" Cohen nodded vigorously.Joaquin was already being very lenient in not pursuing the matter further. The crimes that Cohen had committed were worthy of the death penalty. "Mr. Ballard, I've arranged for a hotel in Acorn City's central area. You should go and have a shower," Joaquin said ingratiatingly. He took Sebastian to the Aequor, a five-star hotel. The moment they entered, the attendants stood in two rows and bowe
Cohen looked rather troubled as he said, "I'm not sure how to say this, Mr. Ballard. Please come to the Martial Arts Court, and you'll understand!"Sebastian nodded slightly and said to Unus, "Let's go!"As Candy watched Sebastian walk off, she felt as if her heart had been torn apart.Sebastian was so powerful! Why hadn't he said so earlier?Didn't men like showing off their strength and power in front of women? Why had he kept hiding his powers from her?If she had known earlier about how strong Sebastian was, she wouldn't have thought twice about giving herself completely to him."What should we do, Ms. Candy?" one of her bodyguards asked. They could no longer live in that villa when over 100 people had died in the yard. They had to move as soon as possible. Clearly, the villa was now a cursed place.Candy hesitated for a moment before calling one of her best friends. …When Sebastian was invited into the Martial Arts Court, he saw over a dozen corpses at the entrance an
Unus finally stopped fighting with the Lynches and revealed his true form. A humongous snake with black scales and a dragon's head that was close to 300 feet tall reared up into the sky. His bloody maw opened gently, and a strong suction force immediately pulled everyone in the Lynch family."Huh? What's that?" Maclin almost wet his pants in fright. It was a dragon!However, upon closer inspection, something didn't seem right. Dragons had four talons, but Unus' true form did not have any. Its body was smooth and pitch black, but it had the head of a dragon. It looked as if a dragon had been grafted onto a snake, or the other way around.It looked very strange, and there was a cursed energy emanating from it that sent a chill down everyone's spine.Unus' slightly open mouth was like a strong vacuum. The apprentices of the Lynch family were all sucked up into mid-air before falling right into his mouth. In a moment of distraction, Bartemius was also sucked up into the air.
Daxton collapsed and lay on the floor, convulsing violently.In the blink of an eye, over half of the Lynches' apprentices had been swallowed up by Unus.Bartemius stared at Unus in shock. He had swallowed over 50 people alive. But why hadn't his stomach expanded at all?Both Calder and Maclin felt their hairs stand on end with fear. Based on his tongue, which stretched out for several feet, they could only surmise that Unus was some kind of snake.However, they had no idea what kind of snake would be so ferocious. The truth was that they were laughably wrong. Unus wasn't a snake at all. He was a Devora!Even if their mentor was there, he wouldn't have recognized something like that. After all, Devoras had only appeared three times in tens of thousands of years of history. The first time they appeared was when the six kingdoms had been united into one by the First Emperor.The second was during the time of the Nomad King, although it had been wrongly named as another kind of
Chandler had echoed the heart of all martial arts practitioners in Dramon for the past 5,000 years. Sebastian nodded and said, "As expected of a member of the Gladius Sect. You have very high morals. What a pity! It's a huge pity!"Chandler could hear Sebastian's determination in his voice. Even if the Lynches decided not to fight that night, Sebastian would still not forgive them."Is there no other way?" Chandler asked, turning to look at Sebastian.Sebastian shook his head slightly and asked Unus, "Aren't you hungry?"Unus' eyes lit up at once. That was the best news he had heard for the past few days!Bartemius looked at Sebastian in confusion. He didn't understand why he kept asking the burly man beside him whether or not he was hungry.Laurie stepped forward and pointed at Sebastian as he yelled, "Ballard, there are over 100 of us. Even if we only punch you one time each, we can turn you into mincemeat!""One punch each? You'd have to be able to throw out that punch firs
The law enforcement team all stared at Sebastian in shock. Was he going to kill more than 100 members of the Lynch family on his own?Maclin and Calder didn't doubt it at all. If Branson or Kody were here, the Lynches wouldn't be a match for them even if they all gathered together, but even the two of them working together had almost died by Sebastian's hand.If Sebastian wanted to slaughter the entire Lynch family, it would be a piece of cake. At that thought, Maclin and Calder had no choice but to retreat until they were out of the front yard, looking in from afar. When the law enforcement team saw that the Gladius Sect members had left meekly, they followed suit as well.Candy stared in disbelief at the others' retreating figure, looking dazed. She had thought that she knew Sebastian very well and that she was nothing compared to the entire Lynch family.However, reality had taught her a vivid lesson. She had severely underestimated Sebastian's abilities, as well as his infl
Sebastian looked at the three members of the Gladius Sect in the distance. "You three are all the successors of the Gladius Sect. I used to be at the same level as your seniors. We've interacted before, and I don't wish to kill you here. What happened today has nothing to do with you. It's not too late to leave right now!"After Sebastian had spoken, both Calder and Maclin were furious. How old did Sebastian think he was?How could he say that he was of the same level as their senior?"You may be young, but you're very arrogant. I'd like to ask you which senior of mine you know well," Maclin said, smiling coldly.Sebastian gave him a brief smile and said, "It's not just your seniors. If we were to discuss this in detail, I'd probably be on the level of your mystic tier seniors!""You little…" Maclin was about to lose his temper when Chandler stopped him. "Can you tell us what your name is?" Calder asked, looking impassively at Sebastian."Sword Fiend and Sword Zealot!" Sebasti
