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
When the security guards saw Zach running over to them, they were shocked."Why have you come down, Boss?" The security guard with the shattered fist said, lowering his head quicklyHe pointed fiercely at Sebastian and said harshly, "Boss! This guy is causing trouble here at the Tiger Pavilion! Wait a moment, and I'll destroy him!"The guard walked over to Sebastian, looking menacing.However, Zach's expression darkened, and he raised his hand to land a resounding slap on the guard's face. The guard fell to the ground with the force of the slap!"Boss, why did you hit me?" The security guard clutched his face in surprise.Zach glared angrily at him and yelled, "How dare you! Do you know who he is?""Isn't he just a little boy toy?" the guard shouted. Zach roared angrily, "Boy toy? Let me tell you, he's the most esteemed VIP guest of the Tiger Pavilion!"Zach ignored the security guards' startled expressions. He walked quickly over to Sebastian and said placatingly, "Mr. Balla
Sebastian nodded and looked thoughtfully in the direction of the security guards.He realized that the guards weren't in any hurry to leave. Instead, they were standing in the dark, as if they were discussing something.Sebastian did not think much of it. He and Rosalie followed Zach into the Tiger Pavilion.Zach was busy, so he did not stay with Sebastian and Rosalie.They found a seat and sat down.Coincidentally, Mateo and the woman with sunglasses appeared in front of Sebastian again."How did you two get in?" Mateo asked, frowning in displeasure."Is that any of your business?" Sebastian said coldly. He disliked rich playboys like Mateo."Damn it!" Mateo swore. He did not want to continue arguing with Sebastian, so he sat down in front. However, he turned back to Sebastian from time to time to make threatening gestures.Sebastian only found him childish. He glanced around and realized that there were several warriors inside the Tiger Pavilion. Some of them were quite skil
"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
