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
However, just as Monki thrust his knife forward, Sebastian grabbed his wrist. He didn't make any unnecessary movements. No matter how hard Monki exerted himself, he couldn't move his hand. "Using a knife? Isn't that a bit much?" Sebastian asked coldly.With a forceful twist, he snapped Monki's wrist and delivered a powerful kick to his stomach. The impact sent Monki flying backward like a cannonball, smashing several stalls as he landed on the ground and howling in pain.Monki struggled to get up. He clutched his broken wrist while his face contorted in agony. His insides felt like they'd been torn apart."Fuck! How dare you fight back? You're playing with fire!"Jaegar was furious. He drew a gleaming machete from his waist. Together with Connor, they lunged at Sebastian with lethal intent, leaving no room for mercy.Their goal was to get the emerald, which was worth millions. It would be enough to sustain them for long.As the crowd worried for Sebastian, they witnessed a
What a great find!Sebastian pocketed the token swiftly after picking it up and promptly left the place. Meanwhile, the three men on the ground watched Sebastian walk away with the token, grinning cluelessly."Boss, that kid picked up something good," Monki chimed in as he approached.Jaegar glared at him and scolded, "Even if it is, do you dare to go snatch it? Quickly, let's go to the hospital…"…Sebastian was a few steps away from leaving the street. Suddenly, a steady voice came from behind, stopping him. "Young man, please hold on. I just saw you pick up a black token. I accidentally dropped that token. Please return it to me."Sebastian frowned upon hearing that and turned to see an old man in a gray robe and a hat. He was holding a mahogany sword and carrying a yellow cloth bag. His yellow teeth showed as he smiled at Sebastian.The smile was sinister, making Sebastian feel uneasy, especially given his odd attire. It was highly likely that this old man was from some
Sebastian chuckled at his words. "Whoa, for a Dainist, you're not all that peaceful." "You brat! Quit being a smart mouth. I want that token! The one million dollar offer is still on the table! If you're smart, hand it over quietly!" The old man snarled, his expression dark and menacing. He added, "If you're not, don't blame me for what happens next!"The old man's words dripped with malice, and his eyes were filled with a sinister energy.Sebastian chuckled again and said, "If we can't come to an agreement, then come and take it. I'd like to see what you can do, old man.""You brat, you're really arrogant! Do you think that just because you took down a few people, you're invincible? The world is far more complex than you imagine! And the people in it are far from ordinary!" The old man's voice was cold and foreboding. "There are some people you can't afford to provoke! Anger me, and I can destroy your very essence, ensuring you never find peace again!"Sebastian chuckled in
"It's just a few inferno charms, so there's nothing to fear!" Sebastian said coldly. He raised his hand and, with a casual wave, invoked the Void Sigil Formation. The inferno charms flew back toward the old man, and he was utterly stunned by this turn of events."Forming sigils with a mere gesture and using the void as the base… you… you're also a master of spellcraft?" The old man was completely overwhelmed by Sebastian's display of power.However, before he could process his shock, the inferno charms had already transformed into several fireballs and were hurtling toward him.With no other choice, the old man drew the sword from his waist. He wildly slashed at the incoming fireballs, managing to deflect seven or eight of them. Even so, his robe caught some of the fire, resulting in several large burn holes.In the next moment, the old man turned and fled while clutching his sword. He knew he was no match for Sebastian. Anyone capable of using the Void Sigil Formation had fa
Sebastian's face darkened. "I already made it clear that I didn't poison him," he said and frowned. "I'm busy right now. Can we talk when I get back?""What's so important that you don't even have time to explain?" Whitney asked, clearly displeased.Sebastian raised an eyebrow and sighed. "Ms. Griffin has a friend who's sick. I'm going to check on them.""Ms. Griffin, again. Are you only thinking about her now?" Whitney yelled angrily, exploding with jealousy.She then hung up abruptly, fuming as she stood by the door. "Sebastian, you jerk! You know I'm willing to take you back, yet you still stay so close to Rosalie! How infuriating!" Whitney angrily kicked the car tire and immediately regretted it as pain brought tears to her eyes. She then hobbled back into her car angrily.…Sebastian sighed helplessly as he hung up the phone."Did Ms. Sutton call you?" Rosalie asked tentatively.He nodded without elaborating and asked, "What's the patient's condition?"Rosalie replied,
Cecilia had been among them."Oh… I see that it's the daughter of the Warrior League's leader. What a pleasure. Is there anything I can help you with, Ms. Lucox?" Ethan asked cheekily."Mr. Whitehall, I heard that you've come to Steinberg. Could I have the honor of treating you to a meal?" Cecilia asked through the phone.Ethan's bad mood disappeared at once. He had been alone after Tessa's death, and he had been bothered by the fact that no one was warming his bed for him. Now that a gorgeous woman was approaching him of her own volition, why would he refuse?"Thank you for your hospitality, Ms. Lucox. However, how can I let you pay? I'll pay for the meal, and you can choose the venue. What do you think?" Although Ethan had grown up in Sword Towers, he could still be a gentleman. Besides, Cecilia was Belinda's daughter. If Belinda found out that her precious daughter had slept with Ethan, she would probably be furious!The more Ethan thought about it, the happier he became. I
"Dad! Sebastian has killed Mr. Manderly!" Ethan said loudly as soon as the call connected. His voice was trembling as he spoke.The news surprised Brendan. He was silent for a long time before he asked heavily, "Is this reliable news?""Completely reliable! Taylor barely escaped death, and he was the one who told me himself. Dad, I can't stay in Sartvale any longer. Sebastian knows that I'm the one going against him, and I'm sure he's not going to forgive me. I… I don't want to die," Ethan said, wiping away the cold sweat on his brow."You don't have to worry, son. I've already asked for a Solpill from Medcrofters. If you take this pill, you'll be at peak strength of your Energy Refining Technique level within two hours. "Someone will send you that pill before the sun goes down today. Whether in the battle ring or handling a personal issue between you and Sebastian, you'll surely be able to kill him within two hours," Brendan said, smiling sardonically."A Solpill?" Ethan racked
"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
