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
"Is that so? I'll be waiting then," Sebastian scoffed."So you really want to do this the hard way, don't you?" Mateo huffed. "I really hope you can leave Riverville alive!" Sebastian ignored him and pulled Rosalie backstage to pay for the truffle.Mateo's expression was thunderous as he watched Rosalie and Sebastian leave."Motherfucker!" he gritted out. "I'm going to kill him!""I don't care how, but you are going to get me that truffle tonight," Penelope threatened Mateo coldly before putting her sunglasses back on.After that, she left Tiger Pavilion without another word.Mateo frowned and thought about what to do before he pulled out his phone."Call the Blacksmith! For what? I want him to kill someone!" he barked into the phone and hung up before he rushed after Penelope.Meanwhile, Sebastian and Rosalie had already paid and were waiting to collect the truffle.The hostess then walked over and handed Sebastian the truffle with a smile."Mr. Ballard, Boss has said that
Sebastian simply laughed coldly in response. "What if I don't hand it over?" he asked."Then die!" the guard roared and swung the dagger right at Sebastian's chest.Sebastian's expression darkened, and he raised his hand to grab the dagger handle.While the guard was still recovering from the shock of getting countered, Sebastian applied some force and broke the dagger into pieces.The guard paled, and he looked like he had just seen a ghost. However, before he could do anything else, Sebastian flung the broken dagger handle at the guard's chest, piercing it!The guard stared wide-eyed at Sebastian as he clutched his chest and fell lifelessly to the ground.A pool of blood soon formed around his lifeless body, and the remaining guards whipped out their daggers and charged at Sebastian."Amateurs," Sebastian scoffed and attacked them.The four guards were then thrown backward unceremoniously by a force and spat out mouthfuls of fresh blood as they howled in pain.Mateo glared
"Don't worry, I've promised Mr. Mateo that I would leave you alive. So you won't die so easily," the old man said casually.Right now, his hand was only half an arm away from Sebastian's neck.Rosalie was terrified, and she exclaimed, "Sebastian! Dodge!"However, Sebastian did nothing of the sort. Instead, he noted coldly, "That's the Black Eagle Sect's Eagle Talon technique.""Oh? So you know what this is? You have a good eye," the old man said. "It's too bad that you offended Mr. Mateo!"The old man cackled again as he shot his hand at Sebastian with more force.Sebastian shook his head slightly as he sneered, "It's just an Eagle Talon. It will never be a Dragon Claw!"After that, Sebastian's fingers curved like claws, and he swung his hand right at the old man. Wisps of golden energy swirled around his fingers, and he grabbed the old man's hand. There was the distinct sound of a dragon's roar as he did so.The old man was shocked as he stared shakily at his hand. "Impossib
Sebastian flashed him a smile. "Is that so? Let's see who's the real victim tonight.""Crazy bastard!" the old man roared. "Die!"After that, he stomped a foot before appearing right in front of Sebastian and swinging a fist at him. His fist was as fast as the speed of light, and was headed straight for Sebastian's chest.At such a close distance, unless his opponent was a Grandmaster, it would be practically impossible to dodge his attack.In the Blacksmith's eyes, Sebastian was powerful, but there was no way he was a Grandmaster. After all, Sebastian was still so young! So, he was confident that this one blow would kill Sebastian. Seeing as how Sebastian had not made a move to dodge his blow, the Blacksmith sneered, "Did I scare you stupid, kid? Die!"Right after that, the Blacksmith's fist made contact with something. He thought that he had hit Sebastian, but when he realized what had really happened, he was stupefied.Somehow, Sebastian had casually caught the Blacksmith's
"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
