Rosalie rolled her eyes and looked at Sebastian with a smile. "I'll be heading back first. I'll drop by later to see you."With that, she inched closer and kissed him on the cheeks when he wasn't paying attention.Sebastian frowned. When he was about to say something, Rosalie ran out happily.He sighed helplessly. At least things were peaceful since all of them had left.However, Sebastian was still thinking about what Whitney had said.Marry him again? Was it really that easy?…When Whitney stepped into Frostwave Corporation, she immediately slipped into her role as CEO and started working hard.At noon, Fergus walked into her office with a gloomy expression."Whitney, you need to give me an explanation!" Fergus said coldly to her.Whitney frowned when she saw him. She let out a breath and said, "I'm sorry, Fergus, but I can't marry you.""Is it because of Sebastian?""Yes." "Fuck! I don't get it! How is he any better than me? Is he richer than me? Is he more powerful t
When Sebastian arrived at the hospital, he spotted Collin lying in bed."How are you feeling, Mr. Sutton Senior?" Sebastian asked as he approached.Collin, with a kind smile, greeted Sebastian. "I'm fine. What brings you here all of a sudden?""Just got a call saying you were seriously ill, so I rushed over."Collin frowned at his words. "I'm perfectly fine.""That's strange," Sebastian muttered, puzzled.Collin chuckled and said, "Probably a wrong number."Sebastian nodded, not dwelling on it further. He sat down and grinned. "Mr. Sutton Senior, let me check your pulse.""Sure," Collin said kindly, extending his hand.After a brief examination, Sebastian smiled and said, "Your health seems to be in good shape."Collin nodded in agreement, chuckling softly. They began chatting casually.Collin felt thirsty, so Sebastian quickly poured him a glass of water. After taking a few sips, he suddenly looked distressed and started to tremble. Then, he spat out blood."Mr. Sutton Sen
"Sebastian?" Whitney frowned, turning to look at Sebastian by the door. She asked, "What are you doing here?""I came to check on Mr. Sutton Senior," Sebastian replied truthfully.Whitney raised an eyebrow. "Dante said you poisoned him. What's going on?""Do you really think I would do such a thing?" Sebastian asked calmly in return.Whitney's expression shifted. When she was about to respond, Dante interjected, "Who else could it be if not him?"He pointed at Sebastian and said, "You're the only one here! Grandpa was fine this morning when Mom and I were here. But the moment you show up, he gets poisoned!"Sebastian's expression darkened. "I've already said it wasn't me who poisoned him. It's that glass…"He pointed toward the bedside table where the glass should have been, but to his shock, it was missing."What glass? There's no glass there! Stop trying to talk your way out of this!" Dante yelled.Crystal chimed in, "Sebastian, we don't want to hear your excuses or explana
Sebastian fell silent for a moment before speaking earnestly, "I can only tell you that I didn't poison him. No matter what I may do, I'd never harm him. After three years of marriage, you should know what I'm like."Whitney wiped her tears, feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. "Enough, stop talking. Leave, now!"Crystal couldn't stand it anymore. "Whitney, are you out of your mind? You're letting him go? He's the one who poisoned your grandfather! He needs to be arrested and prosecuted!""Right! Arrest him!" Dante chimed in.The rest of the Sutton family joined in the clamor, demanding Sebastian be apprehended and brought to justice."That's enough!" Whitney shouted, addressing the Suttons. "Let him go! Consider it as his repayment for his help to the Sutton family!"Upon hearing that, Crystal and the others couldn't argue further."Sebastian, get out!" Crystal snapped.Sebastian shook his head in resignation and glanced at Whitney. "If there's any problem with him, you can alw
Without much thought, Sebastian began strolling along the entire street. This street, known as Steinberg's busiest crystal and antique street, was bustling with vendors and shops lining both sides. One could even see people live-streaming their bargain hunts or participating in gemstone auctions using their phones.Moreover, many people spent their days here, shuttling between shops and vendors. They were all in search of a big win, hoping to strike it rich overnight. This phenomenon was most prevalent in the gemstone shops because of one industry—gambling on stones.In this industry, a stone worth a few thousand or tens of thousands could yield a gem worth tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions. The potential for high returns came with equally high risks. Some people gambled away their entire fortunes overnight, while others became overnight millionaires.This industry required considerable expertise and knowledge, making it a risky endeavor.Sebastia
Facing Elijah's threat, Sebastian chuckled lightly. "So, now we're throwing law and order out the window in broad daylight?" he said sarcastically. "I bought this first and paid for it. Why should I give it to you? Even if you want it, you still need my consent." Elijah sneered. "Kid, it seems you won't back down until you're at death's door! In Steinberg, on this street, I get whatever I want! Law and order? I am the law and order here!" he declared arrogantly. He waved his hand and said, "Go, take it from him!"With that command, the burly bodyguard Sebastian had pushed away earlier stepped forward, cracking his knuckles and neck with a sinister smirk. "Kid, you were quite bold just now! Hand over the stone and apologize to Mr. Hilton. Otherwise, I'll break every bone in your body! You'll spend the rest of your life in bed!" he threatened.Facing the bodyguard's menacing threat, Sebastian remained calm. He weighed the stone in his hand and said, "If you want it, come and ge
"Who does he think he is to offend Mr. Hilton? This kid won't escape unscathed!" The crowd murmured, starting their discussion. Some were sympathetic, some regretful, and others gleeful at the prospect of Sebastian's misfortune.However, Sebastian remained calm and composed. He wore a faint smile. "It's okay. I refuse to believe that there's no justice left in this world."Seeing Sebastian's demeanor, the gemstone dealer could only shake his head helplessly. He prayed that the situation wouldn't escalate any further.Instead of leaving, Sebastian tossed the stone to the dealer and said, "Sir, please open it for me here.""Now?" The gemstone dealer was stunned, glancing at Sebastian and then at the furious Elijah.This kid was fearless. He actually wanted the stone to be opened right in front of Elijah."Yes," Sebastian replied calmly.Elijah became even more furious at his words. However, he immediately sneered, "What? You don't seriously think the gemstone you bought can yiel
Elmer had no choice but to open the stone when he saw Sebastian's firm decision.The onlookers started to gossip as well."This young man is brave indeed. He really wanna open it in front of Mr. Hilton.""It's very obvious his stone is junk, right? Does he really expect it to be a gemstone?""Gosh, he's gonna get his limbs broken today for sure."Sebastian remained calm even when he was faced with the onlookers' negative remarks.Elijah spoke up sarcastically, "Hey, I come from a family that specializes in gemstones. Although I'm not very capable, I'm still knowledgeable when it comes to stones. "I can predict all the stones on this street here! Yours is just junk, and it's impossible for it to bore any gem, unless the sun rises from the west."Elijah laughed loudly and thought that Sebastian was dumb enough to bet with him. Sebastian chuckled lightly and said, "Mr. Hilton, don't be too complacent and arrogant in life. What if you're mistaken?""Mistaken? Me?" Elijah chuckl
"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
