"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
Sebastian frowned before he raised his sign. "12 million dollars!" he called out.Mateo's expression soured, and he countered, "15 million dollars!"After that, he shot Sebastian a scathing glare."Go on then, raise the price! I would love to see how much you are willing to spend on this!" Mateo mocked."20 million dollars," Sebastian called out as he raised his sign again.Everyone present sucked in a breath at that. It was only a five million dollar chalcedony and yet the bidding price was 20 million dollars.What were they thinking?Mateo grimaced in annoyance.Was Sebastian insane? How could he just increase the bidding price by five million dollars…"Fuck! You're just determined to go against me, aren't you?" Mateo seethed.Sebastian flashed him a smile. "I wonder who's really going against whom. Mr. Cortez, if you're unhappy, you can always outbid me.""Fucker!" Mateo growled. "30 million dollars!" he roared as he raised his sign."40 million dollars," Sebastian count
The crowd shook their heads in disappointment. The star of the auction tonight really was too ordinary!However, Sebastian, who had been sitting silently stared excitedly at the wild truffle on the stage.Besides Sebastian, the truffle also caught the interest of a woman in sunglasses sitting next to Mateo. This woman, Penelope Lucox, had been silent throughout the entire auction. But now, she excitedly took off her sunglasses to stare at the truffle, showing off her good looks."Mateo. I don't care how much it costs, you have to buy this wild truffle!" she instructed coldly.Mateo frowned as he whispered, "Are you sure, Ms. Lucox? This is just a regular wild truffle. If you really want a truffle so badly I can give you a few from my house."Penelope glared at Mateo before she grumbled, "What do you know? That truffle has to be at least 500 years old and has to be of the highest grade as well!""What? A top grade truffle? 500 years old?" Mateo exclaimed in disbelief with wide e
Everyone couldn't believe what they had just heard.That was the Nichton Lucox family! One of the four families of ancient martial arts!And yet, this idiot was saying such rude things to Penelope Lucox? He really had a death wish!Unsurprisingly, Penelope's expression soured at Sebastian's words, and her gaze was frosty."My friend, I don't think you fully understand what it means when I say I'm from the Nichton Lucox family. Why don't you ask around and see what happens if you offend someone from my family?" she said unhappily with a frown.She had never met anyone brave—or stupid—enough to openly defy her family.Sebastian smiled slightly. "Since it's an auction, the highest bidder naturally gets to purchase the item. Are you really going to use your family name to oppress others at an auction?" he challenged.Penelope's expression turned frosty at that, and Mateo barked, "I'm warning you, this is Riverville! If you keep messing with the wrong people, you may even end up dead
Sebastian laughed wryly and shook his head at Nina's words. "Nina, you're staying behind so everyone thinks I'm still here. Rowan and Arran will stay here with you so that no one will become suspicious!"Nina frowned. "But I'll be worried about you being with Unus. It's still just a beast whose rational capabilities aren't fully developed yet. What if it—"Sebastian smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry. Hugo has subdued them completely already, so nothing unexpected will happen. Honestly, there isn't much in Boren that worries me. However, if the Yome Sect enters Steinberg while its defenses are down, we'll be put in a difficult position."Though reluctant, Nina finally agreed.That night, Sebastian quietly brought Unus out with him. As soon as he walked out of the hotel doors, two thugs hiding at the side of the road who had been watching them stealthily immediately reported his movements to Anton."Are you sure it was Sebastian?" Anton demanded sharply."Positive! He looks e
"Kneel!" Joaquin yelled at Anton the moment he entered the room.Anton immediately dropped to his knees with a loud thud in front of Sebastian."My lord, my son is worthless. Everything that happened before was his doing. He has been a disgrace to our family. Please have mercy on his crimes," Joaquin said. He looked up at Sebastian and was puzzled to see how terrible his complexion was.Nina had been injured the day before, so why was it now the other way around? She had a rosy complexion, while Sebastian looked as white as a sheet."Alright. The important thing is to learn from one's mistakes and change. Don't forget the oath that you made. If you break it, I won't have to punish you. The law of heaven will act accordingly!" Sebastian said coldly."Yes, of course! I would never dare to break the oath! But…" Joaquin looked at Sebastian with a troubled expression.Sebastian frowned slightly and asked, "But what?""I can see that you don't look very well, my lord. Should I prepa
After resting for the whole night, Nina's complexion had almost returned to normal. Even the wounds on her body had almost healed.In stark contrast, Sebastian looked worse than ever.It was the aftereffect of losing too much blood essence. If it wasn't for the fact that he had the legacy of the Sacred Medicine Society, he might have already been half-dead. Even so, Sebastian felt weaker than he had ever felt before. His legs felt like jelly, and he was unsteady on his feet."My lord…"Rowan blanched with fear when he saw Sebastian. Sebastian was as pale as a sheet. Even his lips had lost all color."My lord, how did you get into this state?" Rowan asked, clearly confused. Sebastian had seemed fine when they returned to Mount Klane the night before. Waving his hand slightly, Sebastian replied, "I'm fine. I'll get better after some rest. Why are you up so early?"Rowan grew even more worried after hearing how frail Sebastian sounded."My lord, did you get severely injured o
As the car started, the two burly men kept close behind it.Rowan looked back at them from time to time and saw that the two burly men were keeping a fixed distance from the car. He couldn't help gasping.Weren't they walking inhumanly fast?"My lord, they—"Rowan pointed at the two burly men behind them."Don't ask about things that you shouldn't ask about," Sebastian said, looking down at Nina, who was still in a coma.He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her complexion was becoming rosy once more.After arriving back in Mount Klane, Sebastian checked into a five-star hotel at Joaquin's insistence. Once he had settled Nina in, Sebastian called the two Devora to his room."Do you have names?" he asked.The two Devora shook their heads slightly. Like Hugo had said, they had been born of Dragon Energy, and they caught beasts in the mountains for food every day. Why would they have names?"Well, you've got to give me a way to differentiate between you, right? You even
Arran and Rowan asked in confusion, "Aren't we going to look for the Ballard Estate anymore, my lord?"Sebastian turned to look at Arran. "We'll die before we reach the Ballard Estate!"Arran didn't know how powerful Nina was, but Rowan knew better than anyone that Nina was a top expert. If even she had gotten severely injured, Rowan and Arran would have no chance of entering Mount Quiln at all."Arran, trust in Mr. Ballard. Leaving Mount Quiln is the right thing to do!" Rowan said. He held Joaquin safely and asked Sebastian, "What do we do with him, my lord?"Sebastian turned to look at Joaquin. He said impassively, "Joaquin, I should execute you on the spot!"Joaquin immediately knelt and groveled. "Mr. Ballard, I'm willing to be your servant too. Please, if you don't kill me, you can tell me to do anything!""I don't have to kill you, but you mustn't let anything about what happened tonight leak out. Otherwise, I'll kill your entire family!" Sebastian said coldly.Joaquin s
"Do you think it's worth losing all your training to save her? Aren't you afraid of dying?" Hugo couldn't help asking bluntly. Sebastian smiled slightly. "I'm scared! However, she only got into this state because she was trying to save me. How could I just abandon her? We may just be master and servant, but our fates are related!"Hugo couldn't help shaking his head. "Young man, I can only save you this time. As we move forward, I may have trouble even protecting myself. Therefore, take these two items and go home!" Hugo reached out with one hand and dropped the Devora in front of Sebastian. He had been tortured half to death.The Devora was panting heavily. Although he understood that Hugo couldn't kill him, the endless torture was worse than death."Bite the tip of your tongue and wipe the blood on his brow!" Hugo instructed blandly.Sebastian held Nina up with one hand and did as Hugo had said. "Now say, the servant dies with the master, and heaven and earth bear witness!"
In less than a minute, the Devora was sent flying over ten times. The strange thing was that no matter how many times he was sent flying or how hard the impact was, he didn't bleed at all. Sebastian was secretly shocked. "Do you know why you were defeated so badly?" Hugo tapped his finger again as he spoke.Sebastian shook his head. Before that day, he hadn't even known what a Devora was. How could he possibly know why he had failed so badly? It must just be a question of skill!"How bold of you. You didn't even know the history of a Devora, and yet you dared to enter the mountain?" Hugo laughed wryly."Aren't Devoras one of the nine sons of the dragon?" Sebastian asked, looking up. Hugo spat disdainfully and asked, "Who told you that? Roveras are one of the dragon's sons, but Devoras aren't!"As he spoke, Hugo tossed a blood-red pill out and said, "Let her eat it. Use your blood essence and this pill to save her."Sebastian was startled. How could he obtain his blood esse
"A Devora? Oh no!" Samson suddenly returned to his senses. He almost rushed out through the gates, but then flames roared up around him. A wall of fire that was several hundred feet high blocked his path! Samson was Sebastian's father. After being imprisoned in the house over ten years ago, Samson had become cut off from the world. He had thought that he would never be able to see his wife and son again. Getting news of Sebastian once more was very unexpected!However, Sebastian had come across the Devoras. He was almost certainly going to die!In Samson's anxiety, he had even forgotten the Fyre Spell that had been set up around the house, which was why he had run right into the spell center and triggered the Fyre!Samson felt extremely anxious as he looked at the Fyre Spell, but he was unable to take even half a step out. "Hugo!" Samson roared at the Fyre Spell.As he shouted, an old man in long, white robes slowly materialized out of nowhere. "Well? Have you thought thi
"Indigo Thunder Shield!" Sebastian chanted under his breath as he used all his strength. A purple flash of lightning appeared around Sebastian. There was a blast as the punch landed heavily on his body. It felt like a falling meteor as it clashed with the indigo lightning! A loud sound boomed in the area, like a mountain exploding, and Sebastian flew backward.The burly man felt equally uncomfortable. The indigo lightning had shocked him so much that his legs had gone numb. "How many other tricks do you have up your sleeve?" The Devora stood up straight and advanced on Sebastian, who was lying on the ground!…In the mountains, in the backyard of the Ballard Estate, Andreas was holding a tablet and pointing at Sebastian and Nina on the screen. They were both throwing up blood and lying on the ground. He said to Whitney, "Whitney, I am not against you fasting, but—"Andreas grinned and asked, "Can you really bear watching Sebastian and that thousand-year-old snake deity ju
