"Please, Mr. Ballard, save Mr. Hindon," the man in the black suit said, his head touching the floor. Sebastian watched him for a moment, then sighed and said, "Alright, I'll go, just because of your loyalty."He walked out of the grocery store, brushing past Eugene, who stood there like a deer in headlights.Eugene quickly adjusted his attitude, forcing a couple of awkward laughs. "Mr. Ballard, it was all a misunderstanding earlier. I hope you won't hold it against me."Sebastian glanced at Eugene without a word and got into the car. The man in the black suit jumped in and sped off.As the car drove away, Eugene felt his legs trembling, a thin film of sweat forming on his forehead.If Mr. Hindon's aide had to beg on his knees, then Sebastian was no ordinary person. Hans and James came out, and Eugene asked, "Hans, what does Mr. Ballard like? I need to prepare a generous gift as an apology."Hans pretended to be surprised. "Mr. Targery Senior, what are you planning?"But the s
Then, in front of the man in the black suit, Sebastian used the small knife to cut open each of Vincent's ten fingers, allowing dark blood to flow from them.The man in the black suit was both astonished and anxious by the sight. "Mr. Ballard, what are you doing?""Bloodletting," Sebastian replied calmly."Bloodletting?" The man was confused, wondering what was going on.Sebastian explained, "Mr. Hindon's system is filled with toxins. We need to reduce the toxicity by draining some of his blood.""Is this safe?" the man asked, still doubtful.Sebastian chuckled and said, "You'll see soon enough."After collecting a small basin of dark blood, Vincent's complexion began to improve. He wasn't as dark, and his breathing seemed to stabilize a bit."Mr. Ballard, it's working! Should we keep going?" The man was getting excited.Sebastian shot him a look and said, "Keep going, and your superior will die from blood loss.""So, what do we do next?""Lay him flat and get a set of cuppi
Vincent wanted to kneel, but Sebastian hurriedly stopped him and smiled. "Mr. Hindon, it's no big deal."Vincent smiled gratifyingly.Sebastian reminded him by saying, "Mr. Hindon, you should be more careful. Whoever managed to place vermin poison in your body without c detection is not to be taken lightly."Vincent's eyes narrowed. "Mr. Ballard, can you tell where this vermin might have come from?""It's hard to say," Sebastian replied, "but if someone managed to poison you with vermin, it's likely someone who's been close to you, someone who has easy access to you."Vincent's body tensed, and his gaze snapped toward the man in the black suit standing beside him.The man in the black suit was terrified. He dropped to his knees and began to plead, "Mr. Hindon, it's not me!"Sebastian quickly said, "Mr. Hindon, it's not him for sure. He is very concerned about you and tried his best to save you."Vincent nodded and said, "Alright, get up." Then, he added, "Thanks for the reminde
Sebastian frowned. "Why are you in such a rush? What are you going to do?"Rosalie said, "I made a deal with a local pharmaceutical company in Riverville, so I'm going over to sign a contract and check the goods."Sebastian nodded and did not say anything else.After that, he stood up and left the Longevity Pill that he had refined in the store. He also left a note.He had no idea where Robert had been for the past two days, as there had been no sign of him at all. After that, Sebastian closed the store and got into the car with Rosalie. They began to drive toward Riverville, which was about three hours' drive away. …Riverville was a city near the mountains. It was known in Sunway as the city of medicinal herbs.In Riverville, there were plains of medicinal herbs and apothecaries everywhere, as well as pharmaceutical companies.Half of Riverville's economy was based on medicinal herbs, and every family there planted medicinal herbs and other ingredients.Riverville was sur
Sebastian frowned and took half a step forward, shielding Rosalie behind him.The bodyguard's expression darkened, and he said roughly, "Why are you making such a fuss! I gave you money, what more do you want? "It'll only cost a couple of hundred dollars, but I've already given you several thousand. It's more than enough for you to go and eat somewhere else! You actually make a profit! Get lost quickly, and don't make me do things the hard way."Rosalie's expression turned icy at once. She said coldly, "Where did you come from? If you want to eat, you should queue! Why are you taking other people's numbers?""Damn it, you bitch! Do you want to get beaten up?" The bodyguard lifted a hand angrily to strike Rosalie.Before he could do so, Sebastian stepped in and slapped him so hard across the face that he was sent flying. Two broken teeth shot out of his mouth like bullets and ricocheted off the wall. "Aargh…" The bodyguard fell heavily to the ground, clutching his face. His mout
"Get lost!" Sebastian said loudly as he turned a cold gaze on Mateo.Mateo was furious. He gritted his teeth and pointed at Sebastian threateningly. "Fine! You've got guts! Don't you dare escape!"Mateo turned on his heel and walked over to a woman wearing sunglasses, who was standing at the side of the road, carrying an expensive handbag. After Mateo said a few words to her, she scolded him.Then, the two of them left.Rosalie murmured, "I didn't think that Riverville would have this kind of rich playboy.""There are plenty in Steinberg, too." Sebastian smiled.Rosalie exhaled and said, "Forget it. Let's not think about them. Let's go in and eat."Sebastian nodded.Half an hour later, they walked out with full stomachs. Rosalie smiled, holding on to Sebastian's arm, and said, "It's still early. Shall we find a place to have some fun?""Where do you want to go now?" Sebastian asked exasperatedly. Rosalie grinned mischievously. "I heard that auctions for medicinal herbs in
"Fine. I'd like to see if you have ten million on this lousy card of yours!" Mateo laughed scornfully and gestured for the security guard to swipe Sebastian's card. The woman wearing sunglasses did not say a word at all. She just stood there and looked Sebastian and Rosalie up and down haughtily. She looked at Rosalie with intense hostility. After all, Rosalie was so pretty that she stole the woman's limelight just by standing there.The guard acted quickly. They pulled out a POS machine to swipe the card."PIN number?" The bodyguard asked. Sebastian shook his head and said, "There's no PIN number."The bodyguard was startled. He looked suspicious as he typed in the amount of ten million. The screen flashed, showing that the transaction was successful!The bodyguard was stunned. He looked at Mateo in surprise and said anxiously, "Mr. Cortez, it… went through.""What did you say?" Mateo thought that he had heard him wrongly. He looked at the bill. It really was ten million!
The middle-aged man frowned and said, "A membership card? Isn't that normal? Everyone who wants to enter the Tiger Pavilion must have a membership card, unless they were invited.""No, Boss, this card… belongs to Mr. Hindon," the secretary said urgently.The middle-aged man suddenly felt like his brain had exploded. He shot to his feet, his eyes bulging, and he asked, "What did you say? Mr. Hindon's card? Mr. Hindon is here?" "It wasn't Mr. Hindon, it was a young man…" The secretary shook her head. The middle-aged man frowned. "A young man?" He thought for a moment, then pulled out his phone and dialed a number. He said reverentially, "Mr. Hindon.""Hm? Zach, why have you called me all of a sudden?" Vincent was taking traditional medicine on the other end of the phone. Zach Cox immediately said jovially, "Mr. Hindon, someone got a membership card at the Tiger Pavilion just now." "Do you need to call me for a small thing like that?" Vincent asked, annoyed. Zach quickly ex
