In a flash, the guards plopped onto the ground one by one, howling as they clutched their bleeding legs.Lorraine was stunned. It had only taken a second for her guards to be defeated, and she shuddered in horror.Then, Sebastian calmly kept his umbrella away and walked slowly toward her.Lorraine was terrified, and she scrambled backward."Bastard! You asshole! How dare you hit me? No one has ever hit me in my life before! I'm the heiress of the Sunway Carlton family! My dad is Kevin Carlton!" she shrieked."Even if you got on your knees and begged for my forgiveness, I will never forgive you! I want you and your bitch ex-wife to die!"However, what she got in response was another slap from Sebastian. The impact made her crumple to the floor as blood poured profusely from her head."Do you think that you're safe because you're a Carlton? One way or another, you are going to apologize to Whitney today!" Sebastian declared coldly."Even if your father, the head of the Carlton fa
"Crazy bastard!" Lionel howled as spiritual energy rolled off him in waves.Meanwhile, the other man who had walked into the room with Lionel, Chuck Langley stood silently to the side as he stared at Sebastian."Kid, if you want to live, you better beg for forgiveness now. Once Lionel attacks you, there's no way you'll survive," Chuck warned with an arrogant grin.Lionel was a disciple of the Irongate Sect of the 36 Sects! He had battled 18 disciples from the Ninth Gate and won. Besides that, he was also one of the top five disciples within the Irongate Sect!So, defeating an amateur like Sebastian was nothing to him!Moreover, Lionel was ranked 32nd on the martial arts world ranking board!When it came to ranking within the martial arts world, there were three ranks.Rookie. Professional. Legendary.The Rookies were martial artists who had just started their training in martial arts, while the Professional and Legendary ranks were the real deal. Only the best of the best cou
"Wonderful!" Lorraine exclaimed. "Mr. Potter! Don't kill him! I want him to be alive when I torture him!"Meanwhile, Sebastian watched on in indifference as Lionel swung his fist at him.He shook his head slightly in exasperation before he said, "It's been four years now, and yet the Irongate Sect has not improved one bit!"I told your sect leader four years ago that though the Ironfist technique is powerful, there's a flaw. When the wielder swings their fist, all their energy is concentrated in it."Which means," Sebastian said before he easily dodged Lionel's fist with the Seven Star Path, "the entire wielder's body becomes a weak spot!"Sebastian had easily dodged Lionel's fist but the shockwave from the force in which Lionel had swung his fist stirred up a gust of strong wind which whipped at the onlooker's faces.Lionel was shell-shocked. He hadn't expected Sebastian to dodge his fist easily.Wait a minute. Was that… the Seven Star Path?Did Sebastian just use the Seven St
Sebastian's sharp glare landed on her as he replied, "I'm Whitney's ex-husband."Just one sentence was enough to explain the reason for Sebastian's appearance. He was Whitney's ex-husband, meaning he was there to get justice for Whitney.Lorraine shuddered in fright at that realization. She could sense a terrifying air from Sebastian. It scared her so much that she dared not move a single muscle."Mr. Potter! Get up! Get up now!" she hissed. However, Lionel had multiple shattered ribs and was clearly unable to even sit up, much less stand. Besides, now that Lionel knew who exactly Sebastian was, he didn't dare to get up!Sebastian was the successor of the Sacred Medicine Society! He was practically a legend in the martial arts world!Seeing how terrified Lionel looked, Lorraine finally understood just how powerful Sebastian was.Sebastian was now walking over to her, and she desperately shouted at him, "Stop! Don't come any closer!""I've told you. If you don't beg for forgi
"And don't even think about getting someone else to remove those needles. No one can remove those needles except for me and if they tried, you'd die," Sebastian said before leaving.Lorraine's angered howls could be heard from outside of the house, and the guards rushed inside to bring her straight to the hospital.Meanwhile, in Sunway, the Carltons also received news of what had happened in Steinberg.In the Carlton family estate, Kevin Carlton was conversing with an old and wise-looking man."Mr. Jett, how much longer do you think I have to live?" Kevin asked respectfully with a cough.Richard Jett stroked his snow-white beard before he reached into his bag to retrieve a box with intricate gold designs.He then gave the box to Kevin as he explained, "Mr. Carlton, this is the Rejuvenation Pill created by the sect leader of the Hundred Heaven sect. It can extend your life by five years.""Rejuvenation Pill? Five years of life?" Kevin exclaimed as he clutched the box gratefully.
Rosalie anxiously paced the room.The Sunway Carlton family was not one to be messed with. The head of the Carltons, Kevin Carlton, hailed from a generation of heroes!Besides that, the Carltons were also one of the four strongest families in Sunway and controlled a quarter of the economy there.Kevin had three children—two sons and one daughter.The eldest son was the general of the Draconic military region. He held a high position within the military region and had five hundred thousand soldiers at his beck and call.Kevin's second son was the Chief Administrative Officer of Sunway and held immense power within the city. As for Kevin's youngest child and only daughter… she was the apple of his eye.Yet Sebastian had beaten her half to death! Why did he do such a thing?"What happened?" Rosalie demanded."Ms. Griffin, I heard that Ms. Carlton had kidnapped Sebastian's ex-wife, Ms. Whitney Sutton," the maid explained.She continued, "I heard that Ms. Sutton was beaten up at
The two men immediately blocked Rosalie's path."Mom! What are you doing?" Rosalie demanded, clearly panicked as she stared at Madison.Madison crossed her arms over her chest as she replied, "Regardless of what happens, you're not allowed to leave the house today!"Rosalie's expression was thunderous as she said lowly, "I don't care what you say. I'm going to save Sebastian! I can't just watch him get in trouble!"With that, she tried to walk out again. However, the two men stopped her."Move!" Rosalie ordered coldly.The two men didn't budge.Rosalie then raised her hand and slapped both of them before she shouted again, "Move!"The two men were shocked that Rosalie would actually hit them and hurriedly stepped aside.Rosalie then triumphantly left the house but before she could get far, Madison ordered coldly, "Sam! Steve! If she leaves the house today then the both of you will be as good as dead!"The two men were horrified by the threat and once again appeared before Ros
Richard, who had come to the hospital with Kevin, frowned when he saw Lorraine."Mr. Carlton, do you need the Hundred Heaven Sect's help?" he asked."No need! I have my ways of dealing with that bastard!" Kevin replied coldly.Richard contemplated Kevin's words for a second before he nodded. "Alright. If you encounter any problems in the future, you can always contact me. I'll stay in Steinberg for now.""Thank you for your offer," Kevin replied courteously.After that, Kevin seemed to remember something and anxiously asked, "Mr. Jett, are there any pills from your sect that can reduce scarring?""Yes. If you would like, I can get my disciples to send you those pills later," Richard said with a nod.Kevin clasped his hands together gratefully. "Thank you so much, Mr. Jett!"Richard hummed in acknowledgment.After that, one of Kevin's men walked in and whispered something to him.Kevin's expression twisted as he replied coldly, "So what if that arrogant bastard knows martial a
Sebastian laughed at the reluctant expression on the stall owner's face. He weighed the emerald pendant in his hand and asked, "Mister, are you sure that this emerald pendant is worth 210 thousand?"With that, he tossed it onto the counter and turned to leave."Huh?"The stall owner immediately ran around to the front of the stall when he saw that Sebastian was about to leave. He grabbed him and said, "Don't be in such a rush to leave, my young friend. Let's negotiate. If you're sincere about buying it, I'll sell it to you at 150 thousand, and I'll be making a loss. Let this be the start of a friendship between us!"Sebastian smiled slightly and said, "Mister, even a layman can tell that this emerald pendant is a fake. I just like the patterns on it because it's quite trendy. That's why I asked about it on a whim."Describing the patterns on the antique as trendy only served to show how obvious it was that it was a fake.The stall owner turned beet red, then white. He cursed hi
However, the more famous something was, the more imitations there would be. Antiques were no exception. In Boren, streets filled with antique stores were abundant. From Klane City to the smallest town, they were omnipresent.There were stores and stalls of various kinds that had everything, but all of them had one thing in common. All the antiques and trinkets that they sold were a mixed bag of authentic and fake. Buyers had to rely on their own judgment. There was also an unspoken rule there. Once a deal was made, no returns were allowed. If a buyer had paid for an item before realizing that something was wrong or recognizing that it was a fake, they would have no choice but to accept it. There was a saying about how the golden age of antiques was during times of chaos. Although they were now in times of peace, many members of the upper class were still very interested in them. Both experts and laymen liked to have a few collector's items in their homes. There were plenty of we
"Watch him closely! If you lose him, I'll have your head!" Anton said before hanging up. A malicious grin spread across his face.As the son of the head director of Boren Martial Arts Court, many were eager to curry favor with him. If it came to dealing with Sebastian, there were plenty of people willing to do the dirty work for him. Acorn City was the second largest city in Boren after Klane City, and Anton knew just who to call. About two weeks ago, the Lynch family of Acorn City had sent gifts to him. However, as the Lynches were a third-rate elite martial arts family, Anton had dismissed them. That was why, despite searching frantically, he couldn't find Colton Lynch's name card."Damn it! Where did that asshole's name card get to?"It was the first time Anton had been so anxious about finding the name card of an heir from a third-rate family. After rummaging around for a while, Anton had a sudden flash of inspiration. It was in the trash can!He suddenly remembered that
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!"
