Fergus was excited as he said, "I will think of a way, even if it means getting you the stars in the sky!"Whitney shook her head and said, "I don't need stars. I just want the wedding to be extremely grand. I want to tell someone that I have married well!""No problem! I promise I'll give you the best wedding ever! I'll invite all the big shots in Steinberg to attend our wedding!" Fergus replied excitedly.Whitney nodded. "I'm tired. I'm going to rest.""Do you need me to send you?" Fergus asked in concern."No. I want to be alone for now." Whitney then left the hall and went to her room.All the Suttons were delighted as they discussed the wedding in three days.Crystal watched Whitney's retreating figure, feeling a pang of guilt in her heart. How could she not know what her daughter was thinking? But it was clear that Sebastian wasn't the right match for Whitney. Fergus was the one Whitney deserved to marry.After some thought, Crystal followed Whitney and arrived at the d
"He's coming back?" Lorraine was excited to hear that.His brother was the general of the military district! If he came back, then Sebastian would be dead meat!Kevin nodded. "That's right. He'll be back in two days, and he's also bringing his 800 elite fighters back. They are enough to control the entire Steinberg!"Kevin was excited as well. He was very proud of his eldest son, who started training in the military when he was eighteen years old, and in just 20 years, he became a general.In the next six months, he might even get promoted again. By that time, he would be able to control tens of thousands of soldiers!The Sunway Carlton family would gain an even better boost of power and reputation! "800 elite fighters? Really? That's great! Sebastian is dead for sure!" Lorraine exclaimed excitedly.As long as her brother was back, he would avenge her. No matter how capable Sebastian was, he couldn't compare to her brother. Her brother was not only a general but also a master
Rosalie blinked in confusion as she stared at Sebastian nervously.Sebastian nodded. "Yeah, for now.""For now? What does that mean?" Rosalie was clueless.Sebastian chuckled lightly and said, "Do you think the Sunway Carlton family would give up so easily?""No," Rosalie answered right away as she understood the mindset of these big families. For something so humiliating to happen to them, they would definitely not give up."So, do you mean the Carlton family will still find trouble with you?" Rosalie asked.Sebastian nodded.Rosalie was anxious, and she said, "I dare them! With me here, I won't allow them to harm you!"Sebastian chuckled and said, "Thank you, Ms. Griffin. But I can handle this on my own.""Handle this on your own?" Rosalie cast Sebastian a doubtful glance.At this moment, they could hear footsteps from outside."Are you sure he came to this store?""Yes, sir! I saw him with my own eyes!""Okay! Surround the area. That girl must die!"Then, a bunch of fi
The leader of the assassins was furious, wielding his sword and slashing toward Sebastian fiercely! They were accustomed to such treacherous killings, so their actions were swift and ruthless, not giving Sebastian any chance to react.Seeing the blade coming down, Rosalie paled in fright, and her expression turned ashen.In contrast, Sebastian remained calm, raising his hand calmly. With a flick of his fingers, a silver needle shot out!The silver needle swiftly and accurately pierced the chest of the leader. He stiffened and stood still in place. The long sword in his hand also clattered to the ground.He knelt with his body trembling."What's... happening? Why can't I move..." The leader was horrified, his face changing drastically as he collapsed to the ground with his eyes wide with fear. This young man before him was not to be trifled with! His skill with the needles was extraordinary."I thought you were so tough, but it turns out you're so weak, yet you still dare to a
"No, you saved my life, and I must repay this kindness!" Rosalie pouted, looking serious. Then, with a mischievous smile, she grabbed Sebastian's arm and said, "How about I marry you then…""What?" Sebastian spat out his drink, turning to stare at Rosalie in disbelief. This girl sure had some nerve. Alone together in the dead of night, she still dared to say something like that.But he couldn't deny that Rosalie looked stunningly beautiful, bathed in the faint light of the grocery store. She was a captivating beauty, and her smile at that moment was enchanting and irresistible.Sebastian couldn't help but steal a few more glances at Rosalie. Perhaps due to the effects of the alcohol, his heart was racing. But in the next moment, he shook himself out of his reverie, quickly averting his gaze. "Ms. Griffin, please don't joke like that. I have no interest in romantic affairs right now.""I was just kidding! Look at you. You're so taken aback!" Rosalie burst into laughter, causing
Watching Rosalie's frightened and pitiful appearance, Sebastian sighed helplessly.Sebastian got up, spread a blanket on the floor, and said, "I'll sleep on the floor."Rosalie didn't insist. She lay on the bed and turned to her side, looking at Sebastian sleeping on the floor with a shy smile on her face. "Sebastian, doesn't this make it feel like we're dating." Sebastian frowned and replied bluntly, "No.""Oh." Rosalie's expression changed instantly. She snorted and turned away from Sebastian, facing the other side. What a dense guy!Sebastian sighed helplessly as he glanced at Rosalie, feeling his mood fluctuate instantly.Rosalie lay on her side, and her figure was extremely alluring, especially with the shirt that reached just below her perky buttocks. That added to her allure, for sure.Her exquisite curves were irresistible to any man.Sebastian quickly recited a calming chant, rolled over, and forced himself to sleep.The next day, upon waking up, Sebastian saw a st
"Can't handle it? Impossible! No matter how tough or exhausting it is, I'm determined to learn!" Rosalie pounded her chest, showing great interest.In the past, Rosalie had tried learning martial arts, but she quickly lost interest. One reason was that her teachers were all elderly and boring, and the other was that she wasn't very motivated to learn.But now it was different. Sebastian was teaching her, and even if she had to endure hardships every day, she was determined to learn."I'm going to be your bodyguard, so why bother learning?" Sebastian countered.Rosalie answered, "There will be times when you're not around. Learning self-defense is necessary."After a moment of thought, Sebastian nodded and said, "Alright, I'll teach you."As if remembering something, Sebastian stood up and rummaged through a drawer in the back room, then handed Rosalie an emerald pendant."What's this?" Rosalie took the emerald pendant and curiously examined it."It's for defense. I've inscrib
Sebastian's expression darkened. He raised a hand and grabbed the woman's wrist as he said impassively, "Physical violence is wrong, don't you think?"Rosalie was so scared that she hid behind him."Bastard! How dare you fight back?" The woman in the sunhat was furious. She lifted her other hand to slap Sebastian. Sebastian frowned and slapped her first. "This is for not following the traffic laws. You made an illegal turn and ran a red light!"He slapped her again. "This is for being unreasonable and not obeying the law!"He slapped her a third time. "And this is for being irrational and even trying to attack us!"Sebastian was angry too. He slapped her viciously as he scolded her. He used so much force that he sent her sunhat and sunglasses flying. The arrogant woman was completely dazed, and her face swelled up on both sides. Her nose, chin, and cheekbones, which she had just had plastic surgery on, were now completely out of place. She could taste the blood in her mouth.
From how pale Sebastian was, Bryson deduced that he must be very sick or extremely weak. He even felt that fighting against Sebastian would be an insult.Although he wasn't the top fighter in the Lynch family, he was still one of the best ones. There was no honor in winning against a sick person."I'm going to give you the same words," Sebastian said, smiling widely."Mr. Lynch, he's actually very powerful. I don't think that Bryson will be a match for him. Why don't you let them attack together?"Jayden had seen Sebastian fight before. Although he could see that Sebastian looked unwell, he was still an expert. It would be better to be more wary. Colton rolled his eyes at Jayden. He knew Bryson's skill level. How could an expert who was at the eighth level of the Energy Refining Technique lose against a sick man?Sebastian looked so frail that he was sure to be knocked out as soon as they started fighting. Plus, the number of people in the whole of Acorn City who could last more
Colton nodded slightly and patted Cliff on the shoulder. He turned and said to Sebastian, "You heard him. He's one of our men. Therefore, you can't take that with you, but you won't make too much of a loss. Here's a check for 500 thousand dollars. Hand that emerald buckle over!"Colton was clearly not going to give Sebastian a choice in the matter. He was used to doing whatever he pleased by relying on his family's influence. Besides, they were also on very good terms with the local Martial Arts Court. He couldn't use his family's connections for the grudge between Jayden and Sebastian, but he would have ample reason to use the Lynches' influence for a priceless emerald buckle.There always had to be a legitimate reason. Clearly, Colton was smarter than Jayden. "I'm not interested in your check, and I'm not going to give it to you either!" Sebastian answered coldly without even glancing at the check.Colton looked thoughtfully at Sebastian and clasped his hands behind his back.
Sebastian had just walked out of the antiques street and had held out his hand to flag down a cab when a middle-aged man in black training clothes walked over to him. The man held out a hand to block Sebastian and Unus' path."Stop!" Sebastian glanced at the middle-aged man and asked, "And what can I do for you?""Mr. Lynch wants to see you. Come with me!" the middle-aged man said icily."Mr. Lynch? Who the hell is that?" Sebastian asked sardonically, sneering. "It's Colton Lynch, and you better remember it!"Sebastian heard a clear, crisp voice. Two young men walked over to him, one walking slightly in front of the other.There was a young man in a branded suit next to the first one. Sebastian couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw the young man next to Colton. It was Jayden, his old friend from Sartvale.Sebastian had never expected to meet Jayden Acorn City. Now that he thought about it, Jayden still owed him a life. If Sebastian hadn't shown mercy to him, the flowers
The old man nodded slightly and said, "That's right. My name is Solomon Jackman. If you think things through, you can come to Townsend Clinic. We can discuss the price!"Solomon bowed to Sebastian before squeezing out of the crowd. Cliff's eyes reddened as he watched Solomon leave. Solomon was a prominent figure in Acorn City. Not only did he have exceptional medical skills, he was also skilled in martial arts. However, neither of those were Solomon's true specialty. What he was most skilled at was antique appraisal! Any antique that Solomon appraised was sure to be a treasure among treasures.Noticing Sebastian and Unus turning to walk away, Cliff immediately became agitated. "Stop!" he shouted.Sebastian turned to glance at him and said, "A deal's a deal. No returns or refunds. You said that yourself. It's the rule of the antique industry!"Cliff ignored all of that. He came out from behind his stall and grabbed Sebastian's sleeve. "I'm not going to sell that emerald pendan
"I don't think that you've seen the original form of this emerald pendant, either," Sebastian said, smiling coldly at Cliff. Cliff looked disdainfully at him. He felt that Sebastian was just unhappy about being tricked and was trying to provoke him. "Stop putting on that mysterious act. Why wouldn't I know about something that belongs to me?" Cliff demanded with a scoff. "You might really not know," Sebastian replied. He closed his palm slightly and exerted a slight force. The layer of stone on top of the emerald pendant peeled off. While everyone looked on, dumbstruck, Sebastian opened his palm once more. The crowd gasped.There were two clouds of energy on the emerald pendant, chasing each other like a pair of fish. One was black, while the other was red. The emerald pendant had been square-shaped originally, but it had now become a round emerald buckle. In the middle of it, a pale yellow energy was rising slowly. Everyone cried out in shock. It was clearly a rare trea
Some people just didn't know what was good for them. Even if Cliff had wanted to laugh, he should have waited for Sebastian to leave before doing so. How could he call a buyer a fool while they were still there?"It may be a little crude, my young friend, but it doesn't change the fact that you were hoodwinked!" Cliff said, guffawing gleefully.Since Sebastian had already paid, he could no longer take it back. After all, it was a rule never to accept returns or refunds. When Cliff thought of how he had charged Sebastian more than ten thousand for something that had only cost him about 300 to 400 dollars, he became even more smug. "You'll just have to bear with it, my young friend. Not regretting your purchase is the rule of the antique industry. Even if you've now found out that you were deceived, you can't get your money back!""That's right. The work on the emerald pendant that you're holding is so shoddy that it was clearly just done last week. It's a new item!" "Watch out
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
