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
Sebastian smiled faintly at them. Frank shouted angrily. "You idiot! What are you waiting for? Kneel and apologize to me! Otherwise, my dad will make sure you regret it!"With Darius present, Frank's arrogance returned, emboldened by his father's support. Sebastian looked at Darius calmly and asked, "You're his father, right? Shouldn't you ask what your son did first?"Darius replied sternly, and his eyes were filled with arrogance, "My son is always in the right! And you, for laying a hand on him, are in the wrong!"Sebastian shook his head, a hint of resignation in his voice. "Like father, like son. No wonder he's so arrogant; he takes after you."Darius' frown deepened as his face darkened. "I don't want to waste my time with you. If you want to save your life, break your arms and apologize to my son!""And if I don't?" Sebastian asked coolly.Darius' face twisted with anger, his brow twitching as he spoke in a cold tone, "Then don't blame my men for what happens next.""
Harriet frowned as she turned to Sebastian and asked, "Dr. Ballard, what's going on here?"Before Sebastian could respond, Rosalie stepped forward and pointed at Frank with a faint smile. "Harriet, this guy was harassing me.""You bitch! Who the hell do you think you are? I'll get a dozen guys to take turns on you!" Frank shouted angrily while pointing at Rosalie.Harriet slapped Frank so hard that he fell to the ground. Her voice was cold and sharp as she said, "Shut up! Do you want to die?"Frank was stunned. He held his face and protested, "Ms. Leyton, what are you doing? I was yelling at that slut!""Who are you calling a slut?" Harriet demanded coldly.Frank raised his hand and pointed at Rosalie. "Her!"In the next instant, Harriet pulled a long, glinting knife from her belt. With a flash, a hand fell to the ground.Frank's eyes widened as he looked at his severed hand, his blood spurting out. He screamed in agony. "Ah, my hand! My hand… Dad, she cut off my hand!"Darius
"What should we do?" Harriet was extremely anxious.Sebastian frowned as he scanned Reginald's condition. His madness was due to improper practice, and the demonic energy was attacking his heart."Sebastian, for my sake, please save Mr. Leyton Senior," Rosalie pleaded, grabbing Sebastian's arm.Sebastian frowned and said, "The Leyton chased us away, don't you remember?"Rosalie's expression changed.Harriet immediately kneeled on the ground and cried out, "Please, Dr. Ballard, save my grandfather. I'm willing to do anything for you in return."Just then, a miserable scream sounded. Reginald had already knocked down several people with his long knife and was chasing after Charles as he slashed around.Charles dared not attack Reginald. He could only run while defensively parrying. But the result was that he was covered in wounds, and he was bleeding everywhere."Dr. Ballard, I beg you, please save my grandfather and father." Harriet cried as she begged.Sebastian frowned. He th
"After Reginald wakes up, his strength will decline, and in the future, it will be difficult for him to advance. Because going through the demonic barrier has caused irreversible damage to his body and vital points," Sebastian said.Charles trembled when he heard this, and his heart sank. He had already guessed this outcome. After all, going through the demonic barrier was a harrowing experience. In the past, who among those who went through it ended up well?"Dr. Ballard, I understand. It's already a blessing that he can survive," Charles said.Sebastian nodded while his body swayed slightly."Sebastian, are you alright?" Rosalie hurriedly supported Sebastian and asked anxiously."I'm fine, just a bit exhausted. I'll rest for a while," Sebastian said."Dr. Ballard, please rest inside," Charles said hurriedly.Sebastian nodded and walked into the manor's main hall with Rosalie.Reginald was soon assisted downstairs by Harriet.After a while, Sebastian sat in the living room to
Even though Declan had already said that the old man was only in shock and didn't have a cerebral infarction, the middle-aged man still wanted to hear the opinion of a young traditional medicine doctor like Sebastian! He must be either crazy or an idiot!"If he applies that needle, your father's complexion will go from pale to dark at once. When that happens, it'll only be even more dangerous," Sebastian said impassively."Stop talking crap, Sebastian! My grandfather is the elder of the Healer Sect! Are you implying that he's not as good as you are?" Bryce yelled angrily, pointing at Sebastian.He was furious. "Sebastian, are you doubting my skills in medicine? You're a rookie in the medical field. I only complimented you at the dinner table out of politeness. Did it go to your head?" Declan demanded curtly, his expression changing."You're trying to prick the acupuncture points on the base of the patient's neck as well as in the center of his chest so that you can unblock his br
"Wow, it really is Mr. Byrne Senior! Hello, hello!" A slightly pudgy middle-aged man exclaimed. He hurried forward and shook Declan's hand heartily.Declan frowned and looked at him for a long time, but he couldn't remember where he had seen the pudgy man before.There were too many people who tried to flatter Declan every day, and he couldn't possibly remember every single one of them."Who are you?" Declan asked, his brow furrowed as he shook the man's hand. "Mr. Byrne Senior, you're so busy, so of course you won't remember me! I'm Fritz Thomson! I had the pleasure of meeting you two years ago while I was shooting a documentary about traditional medicine," Fritz said courteously.Declan finally nodded. Fritz was either a reporter or a director. It wasn't surprising that Declan had forgotten who he was.Although the Healer Sect was also among the mystic martial arts sects, it was very different from the Nine Sects. The Healer Sect had always had close connections with the sec
Sebastian waved a hand slightly at the middle-aged man and said, "I'm not a genius doctor. I'm just an ordinary traditional medicine doctor. However, that old man is in a very dangerous situation. You must not touch him!"He spoke urgently when he saw that the middle-aged woman was propping the old man up so that he was lying on her lap.The middle-aged woman looked up at the middle-aged man. She was clearly hesitant.They were on the top floor, and the tiled floor was so cold. She didn't think that it would be safe for her to let the old man just lie on the floor. "Listen to Dr. Ballard! You won't go wrong!" the middle-aged man said quickly to her."Dr. Ballard? He's nothing compared to my grandfather!" Bryce exclaimed. He was annoyed to hear the middle-aged man addressing Sebastian so respectfully.After all, Declan was the elder of the Healer Sect. There were even numerous sage doctors who had to treat Declan with respect as their senior in the industry!Who did Sebastian th
Since Declan had coincidentally met Sebastian at the dinner table that day, he had thought of bringing the latter over to his side. That way, Sebastian could work for him. "Sebastian, I'm planning to make an exception and take you as my apprentice. What do you think?" Declan asked again when he saw that Sebastian was ignoring him.Sebastian continued to ignore him. Did he really thought he could be Sebastian's mentor? The old man must be crazy!"Sebastian, you should hurry and kneel to my grandfather! You're lucky to get him as a mentor! My grandfather hasn't accepted any apprentices for 20 years!"Bryce glared at Sebastian, whom he felt was being far too tactless. There were countless people fighting to have Declan as a mentor."Mr. Byrne Senior, I don't wish to have a mentor. Besides, no one is qualified to be one," Sebastian said impassively. "You little—"Declan was furious. Sebastian was far too arrogant! He was already humbling himself by deigning to take Sebastian as an
Bryce saw the anger in Declan's face, so he said reluctantly to Larys, "I'm sorry, Mr. Compton. I've acted impulsively."Acted impulsively? It would have been better if Bryce hadn't apologized at all. His apology had made Larys even angrier. He clearly had no respect for Larys at all if he could slap him just out of a moment's impulse. Larys was the mayor of Steinberg. How could he just let things go just because Bryce had said that he had been impulsive? "Mr. Compton, my grandson is young and ignorant. Please don't hold it against him." Declan had no choice but to speak up and apologize to Larys on Bryce's behalf. Larys could only nod. He smiled slightly and said, "Forget about it. Make sure that it doesn't happen again."Once everyone was seated once more, Bryce continued staring viciously at Sebastian. It was all Sebastian's fault that he had been slapped twice by Declan!He couldn't just let him go, but he didn't dare to cause any more trouble at the dinner table. Howeve
"People always say that you can see what a person is like from looking at their family. I can see that it's true," Sebastian said impassively.That was a harsh insult to Declan. It implied that Bryce's rude behavior was a reflection of Declan's lack of good character, and that their family didn't have good manners.Declan turned purple with rage. Ever since he had become one of the esteemed members of the Healer Sect, everyone in the martial arts community always spoke respectfully to him, especially those of the traditional medicine community. All of them were polite whenever they met him.However, Sebastian had insulted him thrice in a row, and each insult was worse than the last. Rosalie couldn't help but laugh. She leaned on Sebastian's shoulder and turned her head away, her slender figure trembling with the effort of not laughing out loud."You're terrible! You've insulted them so slyly!" Rosalie whispered in Sebastian's ear.Sebastian reached out to put an arm around her t
Sebastian's expression turned cold at once. What was so important about an elder of the Healer Sect? Was there any reason for him to make so many people wait?Besides, the banquet had been set at 9:00 pm, and both he and Rosalie had arrived on time. Why should Declan be treated differently?Sebastian had never had any patience with people who used their age as an excuse to do whatever they wanted to."Forget it. Calm down, both of you, and let's both refrain from saying anything else."Larys stood up quickly to smooth things over. Both Sebastian and Julian remained silent out of respect for him. However, they both exchanged icy looks.Now that the conflict had subsided, Larys leaned closer to Sebastian and whispered, "Mr. Ballard, I'll be honest with you. I can't afford to offend either you or Mr. Byrne. Please help me out and refrain from pursuing this matter further."Larys was being sincere. He was in awe of Sebastian's allies, but Declan had equally powerful allies supporting
Upon hearing Rosalie's words, Sebastian laughed wryly and shook his head.The Nine Sects wouldn't dare to say a thing to the Ballard Estate, who in turn thought nothing of the Healer Sect.Andreas snorted in laughter and said, "If you had said so 100 years ago, even I would have had to concede. However, times have changed now.""What do you mean?" Rosalie looked curiously at Andreas. It seemed that Sebastian's cousin was very familiar with the Healer Sect. "About 12 years ago, they went on the wrong path. If you check thoroughly, you'll probably find that the development of many new medicines was related to the Healer Sect. However, they are not the refiners!"Rosalie seemed to be deep in thoughts. Her brow darkened as she said thoughtfully, "Do you mean to say that the Healer Sect has abandoned the art of medicine and has decided to go in the direction of the art of pill refining instead?"This made Andreas see Rosalie in a different light.Medicine and pill refining were very
"Are you talking about your cousin? He doesn't look like a businessman at all, though. He looks more like…"Rosalie put her chin in her hands, her brow tightly furrowed. However, she couldn't find an appropriate way to describe Andreas.He felt very strange to Rosalie. There was a kind of energy he had that was difficult to express in words. "It doesn't matter whether he's a businessman or not. He just has to have money. Why don't we discuss it with him tomorrow? I think he'll probably support you unconditionally," Sebastian said confidently."Really? But if we develop a similar medicine, won't we be going against the Croydons? That doesn't seem right."Lorcan was a friend of Oliver's, after all. That meant that he was a friend of the Griffins. Rosalie didn't want to make such an important family their enemy in business. "With that contract, we have to show the Croydons that they shouldn't become ungrateful, nor should they use their force against us!" Sebastian exclaimed in a
