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,
A legendary doctor under thirty, and practicing traditional medicine at that…Judging from the prominent physicians Charles had recently encountered, any renowned traditional medicine practitioner would typically be over 50. They would've accumulated a wealth of experience to establish themselves in the field of traditional medicine.Harriet, on the other hand, blinked and scrutinized Sebastian. She asked, "Rosalie, are you sure? Is he really the legendary doctor you mentioned to me before?"Seeing Charles and Harriet's disbelief, Rosalie stepped in to explain, "Mr. Leyton, Harriet, don't be fooled by Sebastian's age. I can guarantee that his medical skills are not inferior to those old doctors you've hired! "Charles frowned slightly.After some thought, he decided to give Sebastian the benefit of the doubt, primarily out of respect for Rosalie."Since you vouch for him, Ms. Griffin, I'll give him a chance," Charles said. "However, I'll have to ask Dr. Ballard to wait a moment.
Charles hesitated as he looked at Sebastian with suspicion."Tri-Sage Master, is there some misunderstanding here? Dr. Ballard was brought here by Ms. Griffin to treat Mr. Leyton Senior's illness," Charles explained.Upon hearing this, the Tri-Sage Master's expression changed, showing clear displeasure and disbelief. "What? He's here to treat Mr. Leyton Senior?" he asked, incredulous.Charles nodded.The Tri-Sage Master scrutinized Sebastian, and his expression turned even colder. "Do you know traditional medicine?" he asked.Sebastian smiled faintly and replied, "I know a little.""A little? That means you don't know at all!" the Tri-Sage Master retorted sharply, flames flickering in his eyes. Recalling their previous encounter, he felt his anger rising.As tensions escalated between the two, Charles hurriedly intervened. "Both of you are here to help Mr. Leyton Senior. Let's keep things civil."The Tri-Sage Master huffed and glared at Charles with dissatisfaction. "Mr. Leyt
The protective charm continued moving until it reached Reginald's lower abdomen, where it suddenly trembled violently and disintegrated into ashes."We've found the source!" The Tri-Sage Master frowned.Charles hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Leyton Senior?"The Tri-Sage Master sighed and said, "It's not a serious illness. It's just that during his cultivation, his vital energy became disordered. "It caused his energy to flow backward and accumulate in his lower abdomen, resulting in his unconsciousness. As long as we regulate this energy, Mr. Leyton Senior will be fine."Charles immediately bowed and said, "Please help Mr. Leyton Senior.""Alright," the Tri-Sage Master replied with a faint smile.Meanwhile, Rosalie nudged Sebastian's arm and asked, "Sebastian, is what he said true?"Sebastian chuckled softly and replied, "Half true."Sebastian hadn't expected the old man to recognize that Reginald's unconsciousness was due to cultivation issues."Half true?" Rosalie
The Tri-Sage Master began to regulate Reginald's energy, a process that was quite complex. It involved transferring his own energy into Reginald's body, guiding the chaotic energy within it along his vital point, circulating throughout his body, and finally returning to his lower abdomen. At the same time, the Tri-Sage Master used several protective charms to seal several major acupoints on Reginald's body to prevent the energy from going out of control.After this process had been ongoing for about ten minutes, the Tri-Sage Master, who was already sweating profusely, breathed a sigh of relief and stopped. He said, "It's done. Mr. Leyton Senior will wake up in a while."Charles was very excited and continuously thanked him. "Tri-Sage Master, thank you so much. From now on, you'll be an honored guest in the Leyton family."The Tri-Sage Master smiled and said, "Mr. Leyton, there's no need for such formality. All I need is that silver bellflower."Upon hearing this, Charles immediat
Originally, Reginald was already a Grandmaster, and now he had fallen into madness. With his current power, he was at least a semi-Immortal."Tri-Sage Master, what should we do now?" Charles asked anxiously.The Tri-Sage Master's expression was grave as he replied, "Mr. Leyton, I'm sorry, but there's nothing I can do. No one can stop Mr. Leyton Senior in his madness. But don't worry, it will only last for half an hour at most, then he will exhaust himself…""Half an hour? And then what?" Charles pressed.The Tri-Sage Master hesitated for a moment, then sighed helplessly. "And then, he will exhaust himself and die.""What? Tri-Sage Master, I hired you to treat him!" Charles roared.The Tri-Sage Master shook his head. "I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I don't need the silver bellflower anymore. I'll take my leave."With that, the Tri-Sage Master prepared to make his escape.Charles's face darkened, and he shouted. "Stop him!"A dozen guards appeared out of nowhere a
Frank spoke up, "Alright, don't scare this pretty girl here."Then, he glanced at Rosalie with a lustful look and said, "Hey gorgeous, now that you know my identity, do you wanna grab some drinks with me? As long as you agree, I promise that you'll become a famous influencer in a day!""Sorry, I'm not interested in being one," Rosalie replied coldly.Upon hearing this, Frank's expression darkened further. "Hey, can't you just entertain me for a while?" he asked coldly.Rosalie chuckled mockingly. "What for?"Her words thoroughly enraged Frank. He pulled out a cigarette and took a drag before saying coldly, "You should consider yourself lucky that I took a liking to you. We can either do it the easy way or the hard way. In this city, there's no woman I can't win over!"I'm giving you one last chance. Think it over. Even if you don't care for yourself, you should consider your friend's well-being." As he spoke, Frank cast a sharp glare at Sebastian, who was still calmly eating hi
Sebastian raised his hand and slapped Frank hard across the face, knocking out a few of his teeth. He then asked coldly, "Is being an influencer that powerful?""How dare you hit me, I—" Frank shouted in fury.Sebastian delivered another slap, coldly repeating, "I asked you, is being an influencer that powerful?"Frank was stunned and enraged. He yelled, "You bastard! You're dead! If I post a video, my followers will destroy you!"Unfazed, Sebastian slapped him again. This time, Frank was knocked to the ground, his mouth bleeding and his head buzzing from the impact.Sebastian looked down at him coldly. "Does being an influencer give you the right to do whatever you want? Does it give you the right to ignore the law? Does it give you the right to fabricate facts and bully others online? Who gave you that authority? Tell me!"His furious shout reverberated through the restaurant like thunder, stunning Frank so badly that he wet his pants in fear. Humiliated, Frank screamed. "You
Saul turned as pale as a sheet after hearing what Sebastian had said. He stared blankly at him for a long time before asking Belinda, "Madam Dragon, is this your intention as well?"Belinda nodded calmly and said, "Do you want one to die or everyone to die? You can decide."Saul took several deep breaths, but he didn't dare to answer her. It wouldn't be hard for the Warrior League to wipe all of them out. After all, they were in Dramon, and they were on the Warrior League's territory. Who would dare to oppose them?"Hurry! Tell Abraham and the others to get out here. If they're not here within five minutes, they'll be ordered to kill themselves!" Saul said to one of the Yvantonian men."No," Blake interjected coldly. "You no longer have five minutes. You have two minutes left!" He raised his right arm at the black-clad men around him. There was a clatter as the Warrior League members pulled out their weapons. In the glow of the moonlight, countless gleaming knives and swords sh
According to the Steinberg Martial Arts Court's arrangements, Warriors from various countries had been assigned to different areas. Yvanton had been placed in a villa in the mountains in the western suburbs. There were around 300 guest rooms there. Before the Warriors of Yvanton and the reporters had moved in, it had been emptied completely.The Yvantonian Warriors had lit campfires in the yard and were singing and dancing. Suddenly, a line of SUVs stopped at the entrance, and countless black-clad men surrounded the entire villa at once. Blake walked into the yard, looking murderous. He clasped his hands behind his back and said coldly, "Everyone, gather in the yard within five minutes. Those who are late or absent will be killed!""Killed!" Over 200 of the Warrior League martial arts experts yelled simultaneously. They were all at the third level of the Celestial realm.The Yvantonian Warriors and reporters in the yard all gave Blake looks of surprise."Hey, who are you? Why
Although Belinda had clashed with the Warrior League elders in the past, they had all watched her grow up and supported her in becoming the leader of the Warrior League.Belinda had been filled with grief and fury at the sight of a severely injured Edward, and she had suffered great torment. She felt as if a member of her family had been attacked and injured badly.Now, watching him regain consciousness, she was overwhelmed with emotion. Tears welled up in her eyes despite herself."Oh…" Edward murmured weakly before turning to look at Sebastian, who stood beside him. "Thank you, Mr. Ballard. I owe you my life." He coughed a few more times, but there was no longer any blood."You can all help Mr. Parham sit up. He still has some clotted blood in his system. Moving around will help him dislodge the blood, and it'll speed up his recovery," Sebastian said to the crowd. Elara and Blake hastily helped Edward up from the stretcher. The moment his feet touched the floor, he began coug
Sebastian was being so sincere to the members of the Warrior League. Even though their hearts had always been as hard as stone, they couldn't help but feel moved."Gentlemen, we got to know each other because of the conflict between us," Sebastian said with a smile. "I came here in a rush, but I've had some free time recently and I've prepared some energy replenishing pills. Send someone over tomorrow morning to get them from me."The Warrior League elders' eyes welled with gratitude. Anyone would want a friend like Sebastian."Mr. Ballard, if you need anything from us in the future, we will accept it. We'd go through hell and high water without complaint!""Yes, without complaint!" The moment the elders finished speaking, the rest of the Warrior League apprentices echoed their agreement in unison. "Mr. Ballard, you're the first person in a century to win the approval of all the Warrior League members!" Belinda said admiringly.The more she looked at Sebastian, the more she li
"Madam Dragon, don't worry. I'll do my best to save him," Sebastian assured her. He tossed the nine golden needles out casually. They seemed to have a soul of their own as they pricked over a dozen main acupuncture points on Edward's body.Finally, they sank into several main acupuncture points. The ends of the nine golden needles were quivering incessantly, emitting a faint buzzing sound.Maxwell couldn't help but gasp. He blurted, "The Nine Revival Needles!"It was a legendary, almost divine acupuncture technique. It was said that the famous healer Handock had built his reputation using this method.The first person who had used it was the miracle doctor Benzo, who had lived in the early Quorn era. However, the acupuncture technique had become lost after Ambroise. That was why no miracle doctors had emerged in Dramon ever since."Shut up!" Belinda snapped coldly.Maxwell immediately fell silent and stared unblinkingly at the nine golden needles on Edward's body.He was als
"We don't need to disturb them while they're resting. Let's go," Sebastian said, beckoning to Blake and Elara.Soon, they arrived at Ventus Estate. Bertie, Drake, Terry, and Gary were all crowded around a stretcher, wiping away their tears. Lying motionless on it was Edward.They had been friends for years. How could they just watch him die?"Everyone, move aside! Mr. Ballard is here!" Blake announced as he walked inside.The Warrior League members crowded around the door hastily moved aside, clearing a path for Sebastian and the others to walk through.Belinda was sitting in the main seat, looking as white as a sheet. Sebastian could sense her rage."Madam Dragon," he greeted, inclining his head slightly.Belinda turned to look at him and forced a smile. "Mr. Ballard, I'm sorry to trouble you yet again."He smiled slightly and replied, "As you've said, I'm a friend of the Warrior League."He walked over to Edward and bent down to examine him. Edward's eyes were tightly shut
Sebastian couldn't help frowning as he asked, "Mr. Lorne, you didn't recommend me as league leader just to get your hands on my treasured sword, did you?"Aiden immediately denied it and changed tack. "Mr. Ballard, you've misunderstood. What I meant to ask was whether or not we could borrow it! I wanted to ask if you'd lend this sword to us."He had managed to smooth things over. However, borrowing something didn't mean that one would return it. Sebastian smiled slightly. "Of course. However, it can only be lent to those who will battle in the arena. It also depends on your performance."Phineas couldn't help glancing at Sebastian. How could he agree to such a request?Didn't Sebastian know what they were planning? If Purity left his side, he'd be in serious danger."Oh, Mr. Ballard, you're as generous as I expected. Let me toast to you!" Aiden said, raising his glass and clinking it against Sebastian's. Sebastian just took a small sip.As Aiden put his wine glass down, he ex
Phineas wasn't about to give them a chance to regret it. He shot the deacon a meaningful look at once.The deacon nodded slightly and walked swiftly out of the hall.Aiden and the others wanted to stop him, but they couldn't find a reasonable excuse. When they saw Sebastian beaming at them, they had no choice but to sigh.Once they managed to trick Sebastian into giving them Purity, they would have plenty of time to deal with him. Assassinations weren't uncommon for league leaders. After all, people from the international martial arts community were capable of many things?They would just have to find an excuse to gloss things over. If Sebastian was dead, who would probe further into the matter?"Come! Let's toast the establishment of our league. Here's to a smooth collaboration in the future!" Sebastian said, raising his glass.Ezekiel and the others hadn't expected him to jump right into their trap. Smug grins spread across their faces.They had no idea that while they were
The two deacons hurriedly got up and ordered the staff to clear the rest of the plates before laying out another lavish feast. Once everything was set, everyone sat down again. The two deacons then retreated tactfully. They wouldn't be allowed to sit at a table like that.Everyone present was a sect leader or an influential figure from the Sapientia. Apart from them, there was Sebastian, who was a young but up-and-coming figure of influence.The deacons weren't even worthy of drinking with them. Phineas raised his glass and addressed the room. "As your host for today, I hope that all of you have a good time."After downing a glass of wine, Alaric was the first to stand up. He filled his glass again and raised it toward Sebastian. 'Mr. Ballard, we've had our misunderstandings in the past. I hope that you can understand."Sebastian smiled slightly and replied, "No, no. It's not like there's any deep grudge between us. Let's leave the past in the past."He raised his glass in ret
