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
At this time, the onlookers had gone wild with excitement. People from all over the street rushed to witness the splendor of the emerald. After all, it had been many years since such a high-quality emerald had been discovered on the street.Even Elmer couldn't contain his excitement. He couldn't believe he had cut an AAA quality emerald. Rising to his feet, he returned the stone to Sebastian with a smile. "Young man, congratulations! This emerald is worth at least three to four million."Sebastian smiled while he took the stone and placed it in the paper bag.Sebastian turned and coldly reminded the stunned Elijah, "Mr. Hilton, you can have those outer layers and waste materials."At this moment, the crowd, including Elijah, suddenly snapped out of their stupor. Elijah's face turned livid. How could he have misjudged this? It was impossible!"Damn it! Go to hell!" Elijah clenched his teeth and swung the club at Sebastian's head. But Sebastian just smirked as he swiftly g
"Got it, boss. I'll make sure to get the job done," Monki said. He grinned as he picked up a vase from his stall and weighed it in his hand. Seeing this, Jaegar’s eyes widened. "W-What are you planning to do?" Monki chuckled innocently, lifting the vase as if he were about to smash it against his own head. "Crack his skull open? What do you think, boss?" Jaegar slapped Monki and scolded, "You idiot! Do you realize what you're suggesting? What we need is a setup!" "Well, then what's the plan?" Monki rubbed his cheek, looking puzzled and slighted. Jaegar thought for a while and said, "R-R-Remember that urn we picked up from the mausoleum a few days ago? We'll use t-that! Wait for the right moment, bump into him, and o-once it shatters, w-we'll demand millions from him!" "Damn, boss! That's a solid plan." Monki was excited. He quickly pulled out an earth-colored urn from a box, which was stained with dirt. The urn looked plain and ordinary. It was nothing more than a typical
"Today, you ain't walking out of this street without paying up!" Monki said. Sebastian frowned, his face clouded with displeasure as he glanced at the burly Jaegar behind him, then at Monki and Connor, who were accusing him in front. Clearly, it was a setup. Sebastian shook his head with a wry smile. "Come on, guys, if you're gonna pull a stunt, at least be more professional about it. I didn't even have contact with you. "You're the ones who smashed that urn on the ground yourselves. There are plenty of witnesses around. You can't just make up lies like that." The onlookers, who were ordinary folks, immediately voiced their support for Sebastian. "Yeah, I saw it clearly. The young man didn't touch them. They smashed their own stuff on purpose." "This is a scam. They're trying to extort money from the young man.""They look familiar. Aren't they Jaegar and Monki? They're notorious for this kind of thing. This poor guy's in trouble, these guys are notoriously evil." Lis
