Whitney frowned. She glanced at Rosalie suspiciously and questioned, "Are you sure?" "Of course!" Rosalie replied with a smile. "Good! It's a deal then!" Whitney nodded. Rosalie chuckled and said, "Alright, it's a deal. Just don't go back on it like Fergus later on." They were starting to compete with each other silently. "Hmph! I won't lose." Whitney huffed coldly, casting a gaze at Rosalie before walking past her. Rosalie smiled and didn't say much, simply walking away. Meanwhile, on the other side, Sebastian walked alongside Isabel for a while and asked, "Ms. Jimenez, is there anything I can help you with?" Isabel smiled as they walked. "I heard from the Griffins that Dr. Ballard has been looking for some rare medicinal ingredients?" "That's right." Sebastian nodded. Did the Griffin family inform Isabel about this matter?"Perfect timing. It just so happened that I know a tycoon whose expertise is making medicinal ingredients. If Dr. Ballard isn't in
"Huh, isn't that just a charlatan?" Howard shook his head, sneering sarcastically. He felt that Nathan had made a misjudgment this time. A charlatan would not make it to high society. However, Sebastian calmly spoke up, "Mr. Tuffin, your forehead is darkened, and your eyebrows are sinking. I fear that you'll be facing an imminent catastrophe, even a fatal one." Sebastian had observed Howard's facial features earlier, and it was concerning. Even the slightest misfortune could pose a threat to his life. "Nonsense! Utterly absurd! So you're really capable of fortune-telling?" Howard exploded in anger. He slammed the table and shouted, "Sebastian, I know you want to prove yourself, but overdoing it will backfire! "Talking about darkened foreheads and catastrophes is sheer nonsense!" "Mr. Tuffin, I'm just telling the truth, and everything I said has a scientific basis. It would be best for you to stay here tonight and strengthen the security around you. "Also, it's advis
But now, it was too late for Howard to regret. A cold, scarred face appeared at the broken window, grinning menacingly at Howard. "Mr. Tuffin, it's been a while." "You're from the Wagner family!" Howard's eyes widened. He immediately recognized the person before him.The man was his archenemy. He and the rest were the underground thugs of the Wagner family. He hadn't expected them to trace him all the way to Steinberg. "What do you want? I'm Howard from the Tuffin family!" Howard was furious, but deep down, fear consumed him more. The man sneered coldly. "I want you dead." With those words, he pulled out a gun from his pocket and pressed it against Howard's forehead."Stop!" All of a sudden, a furious shout rang out. The scarred face turned to see a man and a woman walking over. It was none other than Sebastian and Isabel. Initially, Sebastian didn't want to get involved in this matter. But, due to Isabel's insistence that Howard likely possessed the medicinal
A dozen silver needles shot out.The henchmen instantly fell to the ground after getting hit by the needles. Clutching their arms, they cried out miserably and rolled around in pain.Seeing this scene, Boris panicked. Who exactly was this guy?He was ruthless!It was terrifying!"Damn! You're looking for death!"Furious, Boris turned around and aimed his gun directly at Sebastian. He then sneered sinisterly, "Kid, I don't believe you can survive under my gun!"However, Sebastian remained fearless. He stared indifferently at Boris before saying solemnly, "You might hit me if I was 10 meters away. But you can't hurt me within 10 meters.""Bullshit! Go to hell!"Boris pulled the trigger out of rage!"Bang!"A gunshot rang out.Shocked, Isabel covered her mouth and shouted, "Dr. Ballard, get out of the way!"But it was too late.Flames spew out from the muzzle.Yet, that bullet seemed to have become ten times slower in Sebastian's eyes.Under the horrified gazes of Isab
Howard's hair stood on end when he heard that. He quickly lowered his head and said, "Dr. Ballard, please save me. I'm willing to do anything as long as you can help me."Isabel added, "Uncle Howard, Dr. Ballard only needs a few medicinal herbs.""Dr. Ballard, I will give you everything the Tuffins have! All I hope for is for you to save me!"Howard seemed anxious. He was utterly frightened.He would have died without Sebastian tonight!Smiling faintly, Sebastian said, "Mr. Tuffin, please get up. I can help you resolve your issue if you can find three medicinal herbs for me."Upon hearing that, Howard hurriedly stood up and said excitedly, "Please go ahead, Dr. Ballard."Sebastian replied, "I need the Angel Hyssop, Fade Dill, and Water Lavender. The older they are, the better."Howard was stunned. He looked somewhat doubtful. "Dr. Ballard, the Tuffins have Angel Hyssop and Fade Dill. They're both at least a hundred years old. But I don't think I've heard of Water Lavender ..."
"Hello."Isabel smiled politely and said, "I won't disturb you guys."After saying that, Isabel left.Only then did Sebastian ask, "Were you waiting for me?""Yes." Rosalie smiled sweetly with her hands behind her back.She looked innocent and cute yet mature.She was completely different from the assertive woman she was back in the lounge earlier."By the way, Dr. Ballard, there's a yacht party tomorrow night organized by some local scions. I wonder if you're interested in attending?" Rosalie blinked her beautiful eyes as she asked.Frowning, Sebastian contemplated briefly.He was free tomorrow. He could attend the party and take a break after the divorce."Sure." Sebastian nodded."Really? That's great." Rosalie exclaimed in delight and jumped happily.Her chest bounced along, making Sebastian quickly shift his gaze.She had quite a great figure.Then, Rosalie escorted Sebastian out of the estate.Once outside, Rosalie thought of something and asked, "Dr. Ballard, you
Sebastian was stunned. That was another trick question.What was happening tonight? Why did these women have to ask such questions?After hesitating slightly, Sebastian scoffed. "Ms. Sutton, are you kidding me?""We're divorced. Even if you're in danger, it's not my duty to save you.""I'm sure Fergus would be more than happy to do it."Upon hearing his words, Whitney looked away, and her eyes turned red. She then stared intently at Sebastian with glistening tears as if trying to see if this man was lying.Unfazed, Sebastian locked his eyes with hers.After a moment, Whitney chuckled self-deprecatingly. She turned around and secretly wiped her tears. Smiling, she said, "I got it."Then, she took a deep breath, faced Sebastian, and flashed him a warm smile. She extended her fair hand to him. "Sebastian, let's get to know each other again. I'm Whitney from Frostwave Corporation."Feeling helpless, Sebastian frowned. He shook her hand and felt the coldness."I'm Sebastian,
Mabel glanced at Whitney and asked, "Ms. Sutton, there's a yacht party tomorrow night organized by some scions in Steinberg. Mr. Cobb wanted me to ask if you'd like to join.""A yacht party? No, I don't like that kind of occasion." Whitney shook her head and declined.However, Mabel suggested, "Ms. Sutton, this is a great opportunity for you to build connections. Getting to know more people would be beneficial for you and the company's development.""Hmm ..." Whitney hesitated.Seeing this, Mabel quickly added, "Come on, Ms. Sutton. I'll accept Mr. Cobb's invitation on your behalf."Before Whitney could respond, Mabel cheerfully spoke into her phone. "Mr. Cobb, we'll be there tomorrow. Thank you in advance."Then, she hung up. After that, she glanced at Sebastian in the rearview mirror and mocked him. "Look, this is the difference between humans. Some people are simply useless!"Sebastian frowned and retorted, "It's just a yacht party.""You're clueless. This is a big event
"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
