Mabel then handed a tablet to Whitney.Whitney's expression changed as she quickly took the tablet and glanced at it. Frowning, she asked, "Why are there so many negative comments about us?""It's all because of that jerk, Sebastian! He posted the acupuncture technique for treating certain illnesses in conjunction with the Goldcrow Pill on a forum. "Then, people started feeling skeptical about our company's promotion of the pill. The post was reposted on various platforms in less than half an hour.""Besides, a video of Sebastian treating Mr. Whitaker Senior at the estate was released.""Now, netizens are criticizing the Goldcrow Pill under the video. They say that our company produces harmful medicine!"Mabel explained angrily. Her words were filled with resentment towards Sebastian.Whitney quickly browsed through the comments and said, "Ask the Public Relations Department to deal with this immediately.""I've already informed them to do so," Mabel replied.Whitney's frown
"Really? Thank you very much, Mr. Cobb. Also, congratulations in advance on winning Ms. Sutton's heart."Being a secretary wasn't her ultimate goal.She wanted to become the queen of Steinburg's business world!Who wouldn't want to climb to the top?After hanging up the phone, Mabel glanced meaningfully at Whitney's office and exited the restroom.Meanwhile, Fergus sat on the sofa, surrounded by attractive girls. He held a cigar in one hand and a glass of wine in the other.Across from him sat a man with a fierce and dark complexion.He exuded a terrifying, murderous aura.There were stacks of banknotes on the table, totaling around two million dollars.Puffing on his cigar, Fergus wore a cold and sinister smile. "Zac, you did a good job. But what I wanted you to do was break his hands. Burning down his shop is not enough."Zac grinned, revealing an evil and sly smile. His voice was hoarse and low. "Mr. Cobb, don't you trust my ability? I will get things settled by tonigh
The two guys shook their heads vigorously when they heard that. They exclaimed, "No, no. We're not loyal.""That's great." Sebastian smiled and sat back down. He asked them, "So, who sent you?""Z-Zac ... It was Zac!"Anxious, one of them stuttered. He was afraid Sebastian would crush his knees if he didn't respond in time."Yes, yes. Zac sent us."Not to be outdone, the other guy eagerly added, "He offered to pay us 20 thousand dollars to chop off both your hands.""He wants to buy my hands for 20 thousand dollars?"Sebastian frowned and said coldly, "I don't recall offending this Zac you speak of."The two men shook their heads and blurted, "We don't know. We're simply doing our jobs. You have to ask Zac for the details.""Where is he?"A chilling gaze flashed across Sebastian's eyes as he asked."We have no idea. We never knew Zac's whereabouts. He contacts us through the phone," one of them replied.Sebastian nodded and extended his hand. "Give me your phone."The man
"Bastard, you arrived quite fast. Where are my men?"Zac questioned with a stern face.Sebastian approached him with his hands in his pockets. He glanced around the room, assessing the positions of Zac's underlings and the potential weapons available to them. It was only then that he sat before Zac. He crossed his legs and smiled faintly. "I tied them up."Zac slammed his palm on the table angrily, shouting, "Bastard! How dare you touch my men? Even if you're God, you won't walk out of here tonight!"As Zac finished his sentence, his fierce men surrounded Sebastian. They retrieved gleaming knives from their waists.Unfazed, Sebastian poured himself a drink, took a sip, and asked, "Zac, right? I don't recall us having any grievances. If I'm not mistaken, there's someone behind you.""I'll give you a chance. Tell me who it is. I can pretend nothing happened and leave.""Hahaha!"Hearing that, Zac laughed out loud. He stared at Sebastian disdainfully. "Bastard, did I hear you
Sebastian smirked coldly. He calmly sat in the spot Zac previously occupied and uttered, "Can you tell me now?"Zac gulped nervously and replied, "Mr. Ballard, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I can't. In our line of work, there are rules."If I spill the beans, I won't be able to survive in Steinberg anymore. Mr. Ballard, please spare me. I'll do anything to repay your kindness."Sebastian frowned and said in dissatisfaction, "Remember, from now on, my rules are the rules."If you don't reveal the truth, I can kill you now.""You have three minutes to think it over."Zac gasped and trembled. He could sense the overwhelming killing intent Sebastian emanated.He wondered if Sebastian really dared to kill him.His head was lowered, and Zac was sweating profusely.Time passed second by second.As Zac was about to give in to Sebastian's oppressive aura, the door of the private room swung open.Then, a stern voice rang out in the room."Young man, forgive while you ca
Upon hearing this, Sebastian shook his head and said coldly, "I'm not releasing him."Hector's face fell. He reprimanded, "Seems like you want to do it the hard way.""So what?" Sebastian smiled faintly, showing no fear whatsoever.Zac was terrified by Sebastian's bold response!Sebastian was too arrogant!He didn't even bother to show Hector any respect.Hector could secretly kill someone in Steinberg with just a few words.How could Sebastian be so bold?At the same time, Zac sneered inwardly.Since Sebastian had offended Hector, he wouldn't be able to leave this place alive.Hector's face turned grim. He shouted angrily, "Young man! You shouldn't be too arrogant! Do you think that knowing some martial arts makes you superior?"You must know that there is always someone better than you. Today, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your master!"With that, Hector took action first. His figure flashed, and he teleported before Sebastian like a ghost!Immediately afterward,
Hiss!Zac's lips twitched as he saw Hector flipped to the ground by Sebastian's slap. He was dumbfounded.Stunned, he stared in fear at Sebastian, who was approaching him.Sebastian just sent the owner of Steinberg's Thunder Martial Arts Club flying with a single slap!Hector was completely defenseless!Who exactly was this young man?A chill ran down Zac's spine. He felt goosebumps creeping on him.In the next second, Sebastian's grim voice rang out. "Now, can you tell me?"Zac gulped and trembled. He knelt on the ground and repeatedly banged his head on the ground. He pleaded, "I beg you to spare my life. I'll tell you ..."It's Fergus. The CEO of Cobb Corporation made me do this. He gave me two million dollars to disable your hands."Zac was genuinely terrified.He had never felt such immense fear before."Fergus?" Sebastian furrowed his brows.So, Fergus was behind this.After getting the answer that he wanted, Sebastian turned around and left.Watching Sebastian's
Whitney slammed her phone on the table. She sighed and said, "I got it. Is there anything else?""Yes."Mabel replied. She retrieved a document from her pocket and uttered in concern, "This is our contract with Turner Starr Corporation. They owe us three months' pay. "If we don't get the money back soon, our company may suffer a loss of over 30 million dollars."Whitney furrowed her eyebrows.Indeed, their contract with Turner Starr Corporation had been bothering her for months.They consistently delayed payments, and Frostwave Corporation had to pay for the funds in advance.Despite several attempts to collect the money, they were always met with various excuses.Whitney was bold but cautious, especially since Turner Starr Corporation was a prominent company in Steinberg and part of a prestigious family.The head of the Turners was known to be ruthless."Find a way to arrange another meeting with their manager. I'll talk to them," Whitney instructed."Alright," Mabel repli
"Kneel!" Sebastian suddenly yelled.Brayden yelped with fear and fell to his knees."Sebastian, I… I'm a tristate inspector of the Martial Arts Court!"At that point, Brayden's final hope was his authority and position. He didn't want to die, and he especially didn't want to die for no reason.He just wanted to win favor with the ancestral being of the Berkeleys and get some tips on how to get a longer life."Call your wife! I'll give you two hours. If she doesn't come, you'll be tortured to death as well. I can tell you clearly that I'm a doctor, and I have ways to keep you alive until you get slashed 3,600 times with a knife!" Sebastian said icily."I…"Brayden trembled as he pulled out his phone. His mind had gone blank, and it took him a long time to find his wife's phone number. Her name was Darla Wyllis. "Hello? Honey? A handbag caught my eye today, but that stupid store actually refused to give it to me for free! It's a lousy handbag that only costs about 500 thousand d
Jayden had only gone a few steps, but he had no choice but to stop. He turned and grimaced at the Berkeleys and Brayden, who were all looking in his direction.He was filled with regret. He should have made his escape earlier instead of coming back with Brayden. Egbert and Yorrick were clearly fools. One of them had maimed himself and ended up vomiting blood relentlessly, while the other stood there like an idiot for Sebastian to slap him. He would be surprised if either of them could defeat Sebastian.As everyone was watching him, Jayden had no choice but to return to his previous spot. He looked nervously at Yorrick, praying inwardly that the old man would somehow get more skilled. He couldn't let Sebastian screw him over!"This is the last slap, old man. Do you still have any feeling in your face?" Sebastian asked, raising his palm."Damn you!" Yorrick swore violently. However, one of his front teeth had been knocked out earlier when he was slapped, and air escaped noisily t
The entire left side of Yorrick's face had become so numb that he couldn't feel a thing."Young man, just now you already hit me—""I only slapped you once!" Sebastian interrupted, holding up a finger.Yorrick spat and said, "How could one slap have made so many noises?"Sebastian replied innocently, "Everyone here can testify that I only hit you once, and I did it very slowly too. You all saw it, didn't you?"The onlookers nodded quickly, especially the experts from the law enforcement hall. They still couldn't figure out how an expert at Yorrick's level could have been sent flying through the air by a weak slap like that from Sebastian.What puzzled them the most was that Yorrick had clearly landed in a very safe spot. Why had he insisted on rolling into a pile of broken glass and gotten such a gaping wound on his face?"Fine!" Yorrick clenched his teeth and suppressed the pain in the right side of his face. "There are still two moves left!" he said viciously."Will you com
Sebastian nodded slightly. Yorrick had probably killed the young man because the latter was proficient in mystic spells and was already on the brink of the threshold. That could be the only reason for Yorrick's senseless deedThere were some people who couldn't bear seeing people who were stronger than them, which was why they made their move before their opponent could grow and develop."Are you really going to concede three moves to me, old man?" Sebastian stepped forward, grinning."Of course!" Yorrick answered, staring arrogantly at him.He still hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary with Sebastian, so he assumed that Sebastian was just an ordinary guy. He had probably only been able to defeat so many experts—including Egbert—because he had used some kind of trick. Egbert had lost because he had fallen into Sebastian's trap, not because of the latter's skills. That was why Egbert ended up suffering from the backlash of the ghost he had nurtured and lost his powers."I'll
"Young man, you're so cruel. Have you ever thought of the consequences of your actions?" Yorrick asked. He put his hands behind his back as he walked slowly toward Sebastian. Sebastian eyed Yorrick, whose training was at least on the same level as Egbert's. Besides, what he had studied was also a kind of spell. He and Sebastian specialized in the same study.The moment Yorrick got angry, Sebastian had sensed the faint power of Dainist principles from him."No blows are kind, and neither are harsh words! Why do you people feel that others should meekly allow you to beat them up? When your people are injured, you immediately think of it as the other party's mistake! That doesn't make any sense!" Sebastian answered coldly."Mr. Irving, kill that asshole!" Kayden said viciously. He was still clutching his crotch with one hand while he pointed at Sebastian with his other hand. Beside them, Jayden said defiantly, "Mr. Irving, you must not let this guy go! He's ruthless and extremely
Huh? Egbert frowned involuntarily. He had never felt that way before. What was going on? There was a loud blast, and the gigantic statue suddenly appeared out of thin air. At the same time, Egbert suddenly felt his blood churning inside him, and he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.He was about to turn and run when a black bolt of light hit him in the back. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew through the air like a broken kite. "Oh! Are you actually a sadist, old man?" Sebastian asked, smiling.Before Egbert could scramble up again, yet another bolt of dark light flew toward him."Damn it!"Egbert could no longer be conscious of his image and dignity. He swore at once. The dark light was aimed at his energy reserve. If he was hit, his decades of training would be completely ruined. However, he had plenty of life experience and had been through many such situations. When he saw the dark light flying toward him, he rolled across the floor like a bal
The dark shadow stretched out a large hand toward Nina. It appeared to be planning on tearing off her clothes. "Die?" Nina burst into laughter. How dare a ghost who was only around 300 years old talk to her about dying? As the smile stiffened on Nina's face, she bared her teeth, revealing fangs. Her scarlet eyes looked up impassively at the dark shadow above her head. "Aargh!" When the gigantic, dark shadow saw Nina's true form, it turned to try and escape, but it was too close to her that it was impossible for it to do so.It had only taken one step backward before Nina reached out and yanked it back."Have mercy, my lady!" The giant shadow disappeared and became a dark and scrawny-looking ghost that was less than five feet tall. "How dare you disrupt my dreams? You deserve to disintegrate into nothing!"Nina raised her hand and pressed down on top of the dark and scrawny ghost's head. "No!"The dark and scrawny ghost fell to its knees with a thump before Nina and sa
The Sacred Medicine Secret Annals also contained mystic spells from the Demon Sect. However, it was clearly written that those who practiced them would suffer divine punishment if they were to excel in it!Those were very heavy words indeed. How evil did those spells have to be if they would bring down divine punishment on those who excelled in practicing them?"Hmph! Stop trying to act as if you're smart in front of me. Have you ever seen such amazing spells? Believe it or not, I can kill your entire family with a click of my fingers?"There was a sinister tinge to Egbert's smile. With ordinary people, Egbert would only have to send out a thought to kill the entire family of his opponent instantly.However, Sebastian was being very dismissive of him. Evil spells like those required the supernatural spirit behind Egbert to sense the opponent's energy, after which they would use the same energy to find their family members.The process wasn't as mysterious as Egbert made it out
Those deceptive tricks appeared impressive, but those who Egbert healed would only end up in an even worse state, suffering even more."I haven't committed any crimes. How can I accept my punishment?" Sebastian asked disinterestedly.Brayden sneered. "You're not the one who decides whether you've committed a crime or not. Come! Subdue this defiant man!"Subdue Sebastian? Who would dare to do such a thing?The law enforcement hall members exchanged looks.Upon seeing this, Egbert stepped forward and said arrogantly, "Young man, you've seen what I can do. Compared to me, you martial arts practitioners aren't worthy of mention at all. I'll be lenient on you because you're young and ignorant. Just give up and come quietly!"Egbert was different from ordinary deacons in the Martial Arts Court. He had been hired specially as a mystic spells expert.When compared with mystic spells or cultivation, so-called martial arts weren't worthy of mention at all.That was because all mystic spe
