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
"You punk! Do you know what the consequences of lying to me are?" Vincent hissed.He was furious! It had been years since anyone had publicly messed with him like this!A Life Prolonging Pill that could extend his lifespan by five years? How could something as precious as that be wrapped in a piece of old newspaper?Sebastian flashed him an apologetic smile. "I was rushing to head out and couldn't manage to find a box, so I just wrapped it in newspaper instead."Vincent scowled, and his expression was thunderous. He looked like he was about to attack Sebastian."Guards! Arrest this troublemaker!" he yelled.Within the next second, two bodyguards appeared on either side of Vincent. The two men then reached for their weapons by their hips as they glared menacingly at Sebastian.Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Hindon, don't you want to take a look at the pill first?" he asked."I've seen enough!" Vincent hissed coldly."Mr. Hindon, don't be upset. Dr. Ballard isn't trying to in
Fay turned to look at Sebastian. "You formulated this pill?" she asked skeptically. "Yes," Sebastian answered calmly.An astonished expression crept onto her face at his answer."Ms. Linton, what do you think? Is it real?" Vincent asked. The guests present also started to pester her for answers."Fay, say something!""In my opinion, this 'Life Prolonging Pill' is probably fake!""Mr. Hindon, you can go ahead and beat up this brat already!"Sebastian remained calm even as the people around him snickered, and Vincent's expression only darkened further.Considering Fay's silence, Vincent had a rough idea of her answer. He then turned his attention to Sebastian and waved his arm again."Security, arrest this troublemaker!" he barked.At that, the two security guards sprang into action again, but before they could do anything, Fay stopped them. "Hold on," she called out."Ms. Linton," Vincent said in surprise.Fay studied Sebastian closely as if she was trying to figure out
"Do you really think you can talk to me like that just because you gave me a Life Prolonging Pill?" Vincent challenged coldly.Even Fay frowned when she heard Sebastian's audacious declaration. Sebastian really was much too bold!Sebastian's face showed no fear as he continued, "Mr. Hindon, have you ever felt a stuffy feeling in your chest recently? Are you also losing sleep?"Vincent frowned before he answered coldly, "I've been having some trouble sleeping recently but so what?"Sebastian shook his head. "Mr. Hindon, that is not regular insomnia. What you're experiencing is your life force draining."He continued, "If I'm not wrong, you've been losing sleep. Your limbs are constantly numb, and you even faint occasionally."Vincent flinched at Sebastian's analysis. How could he be so accurate?However, his personal doctor told him these symptoms were just because he was too tired and would go away with adequate rest!As such, Vincent considered Sebastian's words for a while
