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
At Sebastian's words, everyone's head swung toward him."A Life Prolonging Pill?""What's that? I've never heard of it.""Young man, do you know what kind of place this is? Leave if you're going to keep speaking nonsense!" Their words were filled with malice toward Sebastian.Howard was startled. He panicked a little and immediately got up to explain. "My apologies. The Life Prolonging Pill that Dr. Ballard mentioned… is something that he formulated himself."The expressions of the guests in the room changed at once from shock to doubt and finally to anger!Holden slammed his cup on the table beside him. He said angrily, "Mr. Tuffin, we've already bent the rules in allowing you to bring this young man in here. Now, he's brazenly lying to us. "He wants to exchange Mr. Hindon's spiritual stone with a Life Prolonging Pill that we've never heard of, and now you say that he formulated it himself? Mr. Tuffin, do you think we're idiots?" Holden was furious.He wasn't the only one
