Sebastian frowned and said impassively, "How would I know?""What kind of attitude is that? You offended the Carltons, and now Ms. Sutton has been captured. How could you be so blasé about it? You're such an asshole!" Mabel said, pointing angrily at Sebastian. His expression changed, and his brow furrowed as he said, "Didn't you see me bringing Whitney out of the Carltons'?"Mabel was slightly stunned. She frowned and scolded him at once, "What does that have to do with you? It was Mr. Cobb who used his connections to make the Carltons let her go. Otherwise, do you think you could have gotten Ms. Sutton out safely?"The Carltons would like nothing better than to kill you! You just walked in so boldly that you would have been flayed alive at the very least if it hadn't been for Mr. Cobb! If it weren't for him, do you think you'd still be standing here arguing with me?" Sebastian's brow furrowed even more. He snorted and said, "What did you say? You think I only managed to walk ou
Sebastian sighed in resignation and said, "You should know better than I do about whether it was Fergus or not. The Cobbs probably don't have the influence needed to make the Carltons release her." "Shut up! If it wasn't Fergus, was it you? You're just a useless loser!" Crystal retorted. Mabel said disdainfully, "Sebastian, you came here early just to get the credit, didn't you? You want to do well in front of Ms. Sutton so that she'll have a change of heart, and you want to ruin her wedding with Mr. Cobb, don't you? Don't think I don't know what you're planning!" Whitney's grim expression grew even more stony at Mabel's words. She hadn't expected Sebastian to be that kind of person. "Sebastian, don't you have anything to say?" Whitney asked. He raised his eyebrows and exhaled exasperatedly as he said, "I don't have anything to explain. If you would rather believe him, then I have nothing to say."He emphasized. "I just want to tell you that the Cobbs aren't powerful enough
Fergus' expression changed, and he looked unusually grim. He could still hear what Sebastian had said echoing in his ears. Did that asshole really know Draco? Whitney looked doubtfully at Fergus and asked, "Fergus, what is going on? Didn't you say you used your connections to make the Carltons release me? Why was Sebastian right? Was it Commander Kolt doing?"Fergus looked very awkward and stammered, "Well…" Before Fergus could say anything, Mabel chimed in, "Ms. Sutton, do you even have to ask? Mr. Cobb must have used his connections in Sunway to contact Commander Kolt! Otherwise, do you really believe Sebastian? You think that he was the one who got Commander Kolt?" She snorted. "If he had that kind of ability and connections, why would he have done nothing for the past two years? Why would he have let you divorce him?" Fergus immediately grinned and said, "That's right! Ms. Lucero is right. Perhaps my father used an important connection and contacted Commander Kolt. "Ho
Whitney said nothing and got in the car. Fergus and Mabel got in quickly. Whitney went straight back to the villa instead of going back to the office. The door was shut firmly in Crystal's face. Whitney didn't want to see anyone right now. She just wanted to be alone. She was lying on the bed in her bedroom when the door was suddenly pushed open. Theresa walked in and glanced at her. "I heard about what happened with the company. Aren't you planning to do anything?" she asked. Whitney wiped away her tears and shook her head. "I'm tired. It'll give me the chance to rest." "You aren't the Whitney I know. Are you going to give up so easily? You single-handedly expanded the company to its current scale. Are you just going to give it to that dumb, useless brother of yours who doesn't have any management experience?" Theresa was very direct. She felt that if Frostwave Corporation was handed over to Dante, they would probably go bankrupt within six months. Whitney sighed and
Sebastian was startled and immediately pushed Rosalie away. However, she held on and bit his lip.Sebastian had to try several times before he finally managed to push her away. Rosalie sat on him and looked resentfully at him. She wiped her mouth and said in annoyance, "Why did you push me away?" "Stop messing around! Get up!" Sebastian got up quickly, looking displeased. He looked hastily in the mirror and found that his lip had been bitten so hard that it was bleeding. Rosalie sat obliviously beside him, looking as if she was savoring the moment. When she saw Sebastian looking for medicine to put on his lips, Rosalie felt guilty and said, "Sorry, I didn't do it on purpose."Sebastian couldn't be bothered to answer her. He applied the medicine, looking cold, and said, "You should go home.""No! I want to stay here and keep you company." Rosalie was obstinate and refused to leave. Sebastian exhaled in resignation. He couldn't be bothered to deal with her any longer, so he
Howard caught it quickly. He glanced at it and saw that it was a small, emerald-green stone. It was about half the size of his thumb. Although it looked ordinary, the moment he caught it, he felt a gentle warmth spread throughout his body. Howard wasn't an idiot. He knew that the emerald stone was a precious object, and he immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, Dr. Ballard."…Tony was in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel in Steinberg. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows and gazed out at the skyscrapers outside. He asked in a low voice, "Have we contacted them? When are the Sentinels from Demongate arriving?" A bodyguard behind him answered respectfully, "Mr. Wright, we've contacted them. They'll arrive tonight." "Very good! They must murder that brat for me tonight!" Tony said coldly, a murderous look in his eyes. The bodyguard asked, "What about Howard, Mr. Wright?" Tony turned, looking ferocious as he said, "As long as that brat dies, Howard
Sebastian frowned as he watched Alvin leave. He looked at Rosalie and asked, "Is he really such an arrogant idiot?" Rosalie spread her hands and shrugged as she said, "That's the reason I don't like him."Sebastian shook his head. These rich heirs were used to getting their way because of their wealth and power. The real elite were all very educated and classy. They wouldn't behave like Alvin and try to use their authority to oppress others. The point was, did Sebastian look like a pushover? He clearly wasn't. Howard laughed and said, "Dr. Ballard, is there any trouble? Do you need me to help you take care of it?""No, it's just a minor issue," Sebastian said impassively. While they were chatting casually, elsewhere, Frostwave Corporation was facing a ruthless internal struggle for power. … When Whitney and Theresa arrived at the office, Dante sat in the CEO's seat in the conference room, giving commands to the company's high-level executives and shareholders. It made
They were indebted to Whitney. Even if they were fired, they still wouldn't dare to lift a finger against her. Whitney no longer had the patience to keep arguing with Dante. She turned and spoke to the company's executives and shareholders. "Would you rather come with me or stay here?"The executives and the shareholders understood her at once. They all stood up at once and shouted, "Of course, we want to go with you, Ms. Sutton! Dante is a blockhead who doesn't know anything and wants to interfere with everything! "It's only been an hour, and he's already fired 16 people! It's creating a terrible atmosphere in the company!""That's right! We'll go and start anew with you, Ms. Sutton!" The high-level executives and shareholders had made their opinion clear. Dante looked at them angrily and shouted, "You're a bunch of ingrates! How dare you oppose the company! The company is the reason that you can make a living! Fine, leave if you want to! You're all fired! Get lost, all of
"Although my family has been involved in the pharmaceutical industry for many years, we know very little about wonder pills. Could we trouble you to help us keep an eye on things?" Zane asked earnestly.Sebastian nodded slightly when he saw the pleading look on Zane's face. He said, "I don't know much about the art of refining pills either, but I can help out with appraising ordinary wonder pills."Zane felt as if a burden had been lifted from his shoulders upon Sebastian's agreement. Ordinarily, Sebastian would have been sure to help. However, this time it clashed with Whitney's injury. Zane was pleasantly surprised that Sebastian could make time to do him this favor while taking care of Whitney."Shall we go now?" Zane asked, glancing at his watch. According to the time on the invitation, there was only less than half an hour left until the start of the Wonder Pill Gala.If they took the journey there into account, the timing would be very tight. That was why Zane had no choi
"Demongate are the ones who are being too unreasonable. You're not worthy of trying to take something that's mine!" Sebastian answered icily.Demongate was a mystic sect, but every sect among the mystic martial arts sects respected the Sacred Medicine Society above all else. The Sacred Medicine Society was the only one that had merged the mystic arts as well as the martial arts successfully.Sebastian had already dealt with the fire venom in his body, and he had already begun his journey of practicing the mystic arts.Even if it had been a few years ago, Sebastian would still have turned his nose up at a minor mystic sect like Demongate."Get lost!" Hans flung the ashtray aside and yelled furiously at Raphael and Leah. "Sebastian, is this how you're going to act?" Raphael's expression was as black as thunder. For the first time ever, he had been pointed at by a thug and yelled at. This was all thanks to Sebastian!He couldn't believe that Sebastian would really try to make a
Raphael felt that he was already showing Sebastian respect by giving him 5,000 dollars. If it had been anyone else, he wouldn't even have given him 50 cents, let alone 5,000 dollars!Even if he didn't pay a single penny, the mention of the name Demongate should have been enough to make Sebastian hand the Soulbell over to him."Mr. Fonda, you—""Mr. Ballard, as well as everyone here, I hope that you can understand something," Raphael cut Blake off. "The Soulbell has always belonged to Demongate. No matter how Mr. Ballard got it or whom he got it from, he should return it to its rightful owner unconditionally and present it to Demongate."I came personally and even gave Mr. Ballard a tidy sum of money for his hard work. I've done more than I needed to."Raphael clasped his hands behind his back and looked slightly contemptuous as he continued. "I don't just represent myself. I represent all of Demongate."He was clearly threatening them."Are you threatening me?" Sebastian laughed
Sebastian frowned, and he looked icily at Raphael. It had only been two short days since he had killed Terence. How had Raphael gotten the news?"You have a very efficient news network, Mr. Fonda. May I ask how you know that I have the Soulbell?" he asked, his eyes narrowing coldly at Raphael."In this world, you shouldn't do things you don't want people to know about," Raphael said, smiling contemptuously. He clasped his hands behind his back.Raphael was acting as if Sebastian had stolen Demongate's sacred vessel, and he was here to accuse him of doing it. "Mr. Ballard, there are rules in society, and the mystic martial arts sects have their own principles. As for who told me this news, it's not convenient for me to say. I came here today mainly to ask you to give the Soulbell back." Raphael made his intention clear. He clearly had no qualms about doing so.However, Blake frowned as soon as he heard him.According to the rules of the mystic martial arts sects, vessels like the
"It's a good thing I was here tonight. You may not be so lucky next time," Lyanna said. She got up to leave, but Rosalie rose hurriedly and called after her, "Wait!""Is there anything else?" Lyanna turned her head slightly and fixed her beautiful eyes on Rosalie."What kind of person is Sebastian? I mean…" After Lyanna had told her who she was, Rosalie felt as if her thoughts were in turmoil. Even Sebastian, whom she had always loved and admired, had suddenly become unfamiliar to her.If Sebastian had just been a traditional medicine doctor, she could have accepted it. However, now Sebastian was keeping a female spirit around him. Not only that, the spirit was his servant. This was beyond the scope of Rosalie's understanding. Sebastian was rapidly becoming like a riddle to her."Have you heard of sages? Mr. Ballard is probably like them," Lyanna said. In a flash, she had disappeared without a trace.Rosalie remained quiet for a long time before she started the engine once mor
The short, fat man who had smashed up Rosalie's car window tossed his rock aside and hurried over. His eyes were bulging as he looked greedily at the beautiful woman standing in front of them. She was just as pretty as Rosalie was."Boss, I deserve some credit for the work I've done, don't I? Can you give me this chick?" the short, fat man asked, rubbing his hands together as he licked his lips.Lyanna looked at Chet and the short, fat man. She covered her mouth and giggled as she said, "I don't know what kind of day it is, but I do know that next year, this will be your death anniversary! Which of you wants to die first?""I… Huh?" Chet had been about to lunge forward and grab Lyanna, but then he realized what she had said.It would be their death anniversary on this day next year? What did that mean?Before he could recover his senses, Lyanna tittered and nodded. "Alright, you'll die first."She flicked her sleeve aside and revealed her slender, pale hands. Her foot-long, brigh
When Chet and the lackeys looked more closely, they saw that the car parked in the distance was a personal car and that there was a gorgeous woman sitting inside it.They were delighted at their good fortune. This was an opportunity they could not miss!As they were in such a remote area, they barely ever saw any women, let alone a beautiful one like Rosalie.Therefore, Chet gave the order, and the thugs all surged forward. They were barely able to contain their excitement."Hello, beautiful. What has upset you so much at this late hour? Tell us about it. Even if we can't make you happy, you can make us happy!" The short, fat man in the lead reached out to pull Rosalie's car door open as he spoke.Rosalie was beside herself with fear. She hastily locked the car and pulled her phone out of her bag as she screamed loudly at the men outside her car. "What do you want? Stay away from my car, or… or I'll call the police!"The fat, short man glanced at Rosalie, who looked frightened an
Sebastian heard Rosalie sobbing behind him. He turned around abruptly, but Rosalie rushed over to him and slapped him in the face before he could explain."Sebastian! I rushed over here as soon as I heard that something had happened in Steinberg! You… You're a jerk!" Rosalie was weeping. She had been planning on telling Sebastian on the day of the martial arts battle about the good news of the huge order that Arctic Snow Group had received from Lorcan. However, while eavesdropping on a conversation between Oliver and Belinda, she found out about the huge commotion over in Steinberg.When she heard that all eight of the Celestial realm experts that the Warrior League had sent to protect Whitney had all been killed and that the latter had disappeared, Rosalie couldn't contain her anxiety.She had rushed back to Steinberg at once.When she found no sign of Sebastian at the Moonlyte Club, she had come to the convenience store instead.She saw that it was lit up and had run straight
Hank and Taylor broke out into a cold sweat when they saw what had happened. Terence was like a god to them!Who would have thought that Terence, who had had the upper hand just a moment ago, would have stood vacantly on the spot just because Sebastian had thrust the rusty bronze mirror at him? He had just stood still and waited for Sebastian to come and kill him!"Run, hurry!" Before he could think too much about it, Taylor growled in a low voice and turned to flee to the foot of the mountain.Hank only came to his senses when Taylor was already far away from him. He was about to go after him, but he had only gone a few steps when a ghostly, feminine figure appeared and blocked his path."You—" The moment Hank turned, his soul almost left his body from fright at what he saw.Only a moment had passed since Terence's murder, but the eerie woman in front of him had already cut off more than a dozen heads. Whenever she cut a head off, dark energy would be sucked into her emerald
