Sebastian laughed slightly and said, "You want me to sign this? Okay. Kneel and beg me."The man exploded with anger. He threw the agreement violently onto the table and said angrily, "Damn it you little bastard! I don't think you realize how serious this situation is! Do we really have to show you what we mean?"The man pulled out a baton and weighed it in his hand. He laughed sinisterly and said, "Hey, punk. This is a custom baton, and it's designed to be very painful when used to hit someone. It leaves no trace, either. Do you want to try it?"Sebastian glanced at it and said impassively, "Are you going to take the law into your own hands? Who gave you the right?""I'm the authority here! How dare you talk back to me? It looks like you want us to do this the hard way!" the man roared. He swung the baton at Sebastian's arm.However, Sebastian lifted his hand and grabbed it."You're actually fighting back?" The man was furious and tried to kick Sebastian.Sebastian snorted and
Leonard was infuriated when he saw Sebastian sitting calmly. "What do you think you're doing, you punk!" he yelled. "You want me to ask you to go out nicely? Do you think you're special?"If you dare to assault police officers here, then I'm telling you, you're dead!" Leonard roared, his face contorted with rage.Blood dripped down his hand. His arm hurt so much it seemed to pierce right into his soul. The other man got up shakily. His eyes seemed to burn with intensity as he glared at Sebastian, who was sitting on the metal chair. "Damn you!" he shouted. "Assaulting an officer is a crime punishable by death. If you had just signed your name, you could've left, but now you can't leave even if you wanted to!"Sebastian calmly laced his hands behind the back of his head. He laughed and said, "Someone will come and invite me out.""You still insist on putting up an act? I'd like to see who'll come and invite you out!" Leonard roared. He was itching to tear Sebastian into pieces.
"That's right!" Hans said.Carl's expression changed completely. He looked serious and conflicted."Mr. Wagner, forgive me for asking, but what sort of relationship do you have with him? We did arrest him, but we have a reason for it. He's involved in a serious case and is currently being interrogated."Hans' eyes narrowed as he looked sharply at Carl. "Captain Lopez, I'm not going to play games with you," he said coldly. "Dr. Ballard once saved my life, and I think of him as highly as I do of my own parents!"I know very well what kind of person Dr. Ballard is. The case that you're referring to is completely ridiculous. Something must've framed him! I want you to let him go at once!"Carl's expression turned grim. He was Steinberg's police captain. He had the authority to decide who got arrested and who got released.Hans had power and influence in Steinberg. He also had many subordinates. Ordinarily, Carl would treat him with the utmost politeness. However, this situation was d
Rosalie's beautiful face was grim as she said coldly, "You're Captain Lopez, aren't you? Sebastian is a benefactor of the Griffin family. I want you to release him immediately."Carl looked troubled. He didn't dare to refuse Rosalie's request. However, Fergus was upstairs. How could he explain things to Fergus if he let Sebastian go?"Ms. Griffin, Sebastian Ballard is involved in a serious case. We're just interrogating him according to legal procedures. If there aren't any problems, we'll be sure to let him go. Please understand." After thinking it over, Carl had decided to stand his ground. He didn't want to let Sebastian go. Rosalie's expression darkened. "Captain Lopez, are you testing my patience?" she asked, annoyed. Carl's expression changed. He could tell that Rosalie was suppressing her anger. "Um, Ms. Griffin, please wait a moment. I'll go in and have a look." Carl smiled, then turned and ran back into his office. Fergus was sitting on the sofa, calmly sipping co
"Since you're standing on Steinberg soil right now, you have to follow our rules." Rosalie's expression darkened, and she looked grim. She looked up at Carl's office window and discovered a figure.She laughed coldly. "Captain Lopez, I see that someone gave you courage when you went up.""I don't know what you're talking about, Ms. Rosalie. I'm just obeying the law," Carl said immediately."As if!" Rosalie snapped. "You know much better than I do what the truth is! Aren't you afraid that I'll contact Chief Vince Weist?"Carl was momentarily stunned.If she called Vince, there would be trouble. However, at this juncture, he couldn't hold back! As long as Sebastian signed the paper to admit his crimes, everything would be fine.Therefore, he said harshly, "Even if Chief Weist comes, there'll be no use! Kick them out! You, come with me!" A few officers began herding Rosalie, Hans, and the others out. One of them followed Carl.Carl rushed to the interrogation room. He knew that
After hanging up, Vince's expression turned dark.Who would be dumb enough to arrest a guest of the Griffins?Vince swiftly sent people to find out. A few minutes later, he received the information."Leonard and Captain Lopez?" Vince looked grimly at the names."Assholes! If they offend Ms. Griffin and prevent Steinberg's development, I'll kill them both myself!" Vince said angrily. He left the office quickly and ordered his chauffeur to drive to the police station. …Back in the interrogation room, Carl held his gun at Sebastian's head. He roared angrily, "I'm going to ask you once again, punk. Will you sign this or not?"Sebastian looked at him calmly and smiled. "I won't.""Do you have a death wish?" Carl pushed him violently and yelled, "Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you right now?" Sebastian chuckled and said, "You can try firing the gun!""Are you taunting me?" Carl snapped. The sound of a gunshot rang in the interrogation room. However, the bullet hit the floor
Vince's brow furrowed in surprise. He looked at Carl and the others and asked accusingly, "Tell me the truth. Was he really the one who hit you?" "Why would we lie, Chief?" Leonard said hurriedly. "It was that guy, he's crazy! We were asking questions normally, but he just attacked us!" the other injured officer added. Rosalie frowned. She shook her head and said, "I don't believe Sebastian would do that. I want to go in and ask him myself." Carl immediately stopped her and said, "Ms. Griffin, this is an interrogation room. Non-related people aren't allowed to enter. That's the rule." "Are you feeling guilty, Captain Lopez?" Rosalie said coldly. Carl immediately puffed up his chest and said quickly, "What do you mean, guilty? We're just following normal procedure. You can ask Chief Weist if you don't believe us!" Rosalie looked at Vince, who nodded. However, he immediately said, "I can accompany you if you'd like to go in, Ms. Griffin." Carl and the others looked worrie
Vince's expression darkened. He waved his hand, gesturing for the officers to let go of Carl. Carl laughed coldly and freed himself from their hold. He said icily, "Chief Weist, we all know the rules. You wouldn't want Mr. Targery to get involved, would you?""Mr. Targery…" Vince muttered, frowning. Sebastian frowned slightly and asked, "Are you planning to let them get away with it, Chief Weist?" Vince shuddered and quickly said to Sebastian and Rosalie in a low voice, "Mr. Ballard, Ms. Griffin, you don't understand. Mr. Targery is Mr. Targery Senior's favorite grandson."With the power and influence that Mr. Targery Senior has in Steinberg, he could decide my fate with just a few words. Mr. Ballard, can we just forget about what happened here tonight?"Sebastian finally realized the situation. Vince was afraid of Eugene. "What if I refuse?" Sebastian said coldly. Vince's expression changed. He looked conflicted, and he turned to Rosalie. Rosalie said impassively, "Vinc
"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
