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
Back at the convenience store. Howard chuckled after he watched Sebastian refine three safety stones. He said, "Dr. Ballard, are you planning to sell these safety stones that you've refined?" "Sell them?" Sebastian shook his head and laughed. "I'm planning to keep them for myself and give to others."Howard nodded and smiled as he said, "I can tell at once that these are high-quality items. I've only been wearing the one you gave me for a while, but I already feel so much more relaxed and comfortable." Howard shook his head and said, "It's a pity that you're not selling them, Dr. Ballard. If you could, then I'm sure you could earn quite a bit and pioneer a new market!"Sebastian raised an eyebrow. A plan began to form in his head. Howard was right. Young people nowadays believed firmly in this kind of thing. They were becoming more spiritual. Many turn to Tarot readings or check their daily horoscope charts to anticipate what lies ahead. "Mr. Tuffin, you've given me a st
"Really? Thank you, Dr. Ballard!" Howard was beside himself with excitement. Sebastian looked around and picked up a newspaper from the table. He took a piece of newspaper and wrapped the Life Prolonging Pill in it. He stuffed it into his pocket and said, "Let's go and have a look at this private collection viewing.""Wait, are you planning to exchange this Life Prolonging Pill for the spiritual stone?" Rosalie asked in surprise. Sebastian smiled. "Is there a problem with that?" "Sebastian, I believe you, but the people who are attending tonight may not. Plus, you wrapped it in a piece of torn newspaper," Rosalie said, frowning. Sebastian laughed and said, "What if there's someone there who has taste? Besides, someone who would collect a spiritual stone is not an ordinary person."Sebastian walked out of the convenience store. Howard rushed to open the car door and invited Sebastian in. Rosalie thought for a moment and followed. "Why are you following us?" Sebastian a
Sebastian's brow furrowed, and he looked coldly at the furious Fergus. He twisted his hand and bent Fergus' wrist at once. It hurt so much that Fergus bellowed in pain. "Sebastian! Let go of him!" Whitney yelled as she rushed over. Sebastian frowned and let go. He pushed Fergus hard and sent him stumbling off several feet away. "How dare you touch me!" Fergus growled. He was extremely annoyed. Sebastian fixed his collar and said coldly, "You were the one who started it. I was just defending myself.""Why you—" Fergus raised his fist to punch him. "Touch me again and you'll lose that hand," Sebastian said icily, his tone leaving no room for argument. He sounded threatening. Fergus was startled. He clenched his fist tightly, feeling aggrieved. Whitney frowned as she glanced at Fergus' red and swollen wrist. She said angrily to Sebastian, "Sebastian, what are you doing? Did you have to use that much strength?" Sebastian's expression changed slightly at her rebuke. He frow
Rosalie was the heiress of the Griffin family. She would never do something like that. Sebastian laughed self-deprecatingly. He looked at Whitney and asked, "Do you believe everything that Mr. Cobb says?" "Am I wrong? The truth has already been laid out in front of us. How are you going to explain that?" Whitney asked irritatedly. Sebastian couldn't be bothered to explain. The manager said grimly, "This is a private viewing. Please leave right now." Fergus laughed scornfully and said, "How embarrassing, Sebastian."He then turned to Rosalie. "Ms. Griffin, now you've seen for yourself how unreliable he is. Things will be hard for you if you stay with him in future." Rosalie looked at him as if he had grown a second head. She scoffed. "You really are an idiot.""Why you—" Fergus was furious. "What are you waiting for? Kick the two of them out!" he ordered the manager. The manager waved a hand and gestured to the security guards. "Take them out without disturbing the other
Sebastian looked up at the sound. He saw a pudgy middle-aged man whose eyes were narrowed as he played with two moqui balls. The man had a mole on his chin and was wearing a black robe. He stared at Sebastian. Sebastian frowned slightly. Howard laughed and bowed slightly to the middle-aged man. "Mr. Shaw, I brought Dr. Ballard today as he has a very good eye.""Dr. Ballard? Mr. Tuffin, is that how you should address such a young man?" Holden Shaw shook his head and laughed scornfully. The contempt was visible in his eyes as he looked at Sebastian. Howard tactfully ignored the question. He said to Sebastian softly, "Dr. Ballard, his name is Holden Shaw, and he's the second son of the Janover Shaws. "He's quite well known among the collectors of Janover, and most of his enterprises are on the gray side of the law. He has connections with Janover's underworld." Sebastian nodded slightly. Howard began introducing the rest of the people present in a low voice to him. Many of
Even though the elders who had been present at the time had been dismayed at the results and tried to intervene, they only managed to tie with Sebastian. In the end, they had no choice but to let Sebastian go on his merry way. At that moment, Fay sensed Sebastian and the others looking at her. She frowned slightly as she looked over at them, and her frown deepened. They looked very familiar.Sebastian looked especially familiar. She felt like she had seen him somewhere before. However, Fay couldn't remember where."Where's Mr. Gold? Why isn't he here yet? We've been waiting for so long!" Holden began grumbling.There were several people in the private room, and they began discussing it quietly amongst themselves as well.They had been waiting for over ten minutes, and they still hadn't seen Martin Gold, who was the organizer of the event.Just as everyone was complaining, an old man entered and bowed to them. "My apologies, ladies and gentlemen," he began, his tone sincere. "M
"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
