"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
Tommy gritted his teeth and walked in. "Today is Trina's birthday, and I'm her boyfriend. Why can't I come?""You're kidding, right? A loser like you is Trina's boyfriend? Look at yourself before you say such shameless things! How embarrassing!" The handsome man sitting in the middle sneered.He was Trina's pursuer, Warren Solby.At that moment, Warren saw Sebastian behind Tommy and smirked. "Not bad, you still brought someone to back you up. But hey, even though you dress up like a rich person, why does your friend look like a beggar? Run out of money? Can't afford clothes and a watch?"Warren's words hurt Tommy. He was right. The expensive clothes and watch he was wearing were indeed rented.Sebastian frowned slightly.Warren's friend beside him joined in the mockery. "Warren, do we even need to guess? A poor loser's friend can't be rich, can he? Clearly, they're both losers!""Yeah, birds of a feather flock together. In the world of losers, there are only losers. Unlike us, t
After that, Warren said to Greg, "Greg, this is Mr. Grylls' territory. We'd better not make any trouble here."Greg frowned at Warren. He put down his phone and said viciously to Sebastian, "Hey punk, you're pretty cocky. What's your name?"Sebastian laughed. He stepped out from behind Tommy and sat down. He said lightly, "My name's Sebastian Ballard. If you're unhappy with that, you can come to me anytime."Sebastian didn't like causing trouble, but he could tell that these men weren't planning on letting Tommy get off easy.Since they were making things difficult for his friend, Sebastian wouldn't make things easy for them. "Sebastian Ballard, eh? Fine. I'll remember you. You can keep being cocky, but we'll see how long you can keep it up once we go out!" Greg said threateningly. He had thought things through. Since this was Andon's territory, it wasn't a good idea to try anything. However, once they left the bar, Andon wouldn't be able to do anything about them.Andon was o
Tommy was furious. He yelled at Warren, "Is that how you see Trina? You scum!""So what if I am? Are you mad?" Warren laughed scornfully and said, "Fine, let's make a bet.""What do you want to bet on?" Tommy asked, frowning. Warren said, "Let's bet on whether Trina will choose someone who's pretending to be rich, like you, or if she'll choose me since I'm actually rich. "We'll bet on whether Trina is willing to stay with you despite how unstable your life is or if she would rather lick my feet in exchange for wealth.""You—" Tommy was enraged at his degrading words. "I'll make you realize that Trina is a decent woman. She will definitely choose me. She's not a gold digger!" Tommy said, clenching his fists in anger.Warren laughed coldly and said, "Fine. You'll find out soon enough, you pathetic loser."He had just finished speaking when the door was pushed open. Trina walked in, dressed in a short skirt and a spaghetti-strap top.She had an excellent figure, and she was qu
"How could someone like you, who's selling things for the dead, have the audacity to want to marry me? Tommy, have you looked in the mirror? What do you think you're doing?" Tina shouted. She added, "I'm so good-looking, and I have such a good figure. There are heaps of men trying to date me. Why should I give up on the chance to be a society lady who does nothing all day and live with a broke loser like you?" Everything she said seemed to pierce right into his heart. Tommy's eyes were bulging with shock as he shouted, "Trina, you're lying to me! You must be lying to me, right?"He got up and pulled at Trina, but she pushed him aside in disgust and yelled, "Let go! Tommy, stop pestering me! I don't like you at all!"Trina leaned against Warren, who put his arm around her tiny waist. He deliberately did it in front of Tommy, and his hand even traveled down to Trina's perky butt. He pinched her and said triumphantly, "To tell you the truth, your dream woman, Trina, has already
Greg immediately made a call and yelled, "Send some people here! For what? For a fight!"After he hung up, Greg turned a sinister gaze on Tommy and Sebastian. He said angrily, "You're dead meat! Especially you! How dare you lay a finger on Mr. Solby? We'll chop your hand off!" Tommy was startled, and he calmed down at once. He had hit Warren out of impulse, but he now regretted it. He wouldn't even be able to handle someone like Greg, let alone Warren.It was true. Without power or an influential background, one could only cater to the whims of others."Let's go, Sebastian," Tommy turned and said to Sebastian, who was sitting calmly on the sofa.Tommy was panicking slightly. He didn't mind getting beaten up, but if Sebastian was dragged into this, then it would be troublesome. However, Tommy was surprised when Sebastian spoke up fearlessly, "Tommy, sit down. What are you nervous about? We can't leave until we've settled the score."Tommy was surprised and asked, "What score?"
"We're doing this as a way for you to stand up for yourself, get back your dignity, and recoup your losses," Sebastian said. Tommy jolted and immediately came to his senses.Sebastian was right!Tommy had transferred money and bought bags for Trina because he had thought of her as his girlfriend, and he was thinking about marriage. However, she had been lying to him the entire time.It was a scam! He had to get the money back."That's right! Trina, give me the money back!" Tommy yelled.Trina looked contemptuous and angry. She shrieked, "Tommy! Are you mad? Are you seriously asking me for money? You transferred it to me voluntarily!""Cut that crap! I transferred it to you because I thought of you as my girlfriend, and I wanted to marry you! It wasn't for you to go to motels with other men! It wasn't for you to humiliate me! Give it back!" Tommy shouted. "Damn you both! Do the two of you want to die?" Warren bawled. Greg laughed menacingly and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Solby.
Greg was dazed. This was the first time that anyone had ever hit him!He was usually the one beating people up. No one had ever beaten him up before!"You punk! You're asking for trouble!" Greg yelled angrily.Sebastian slapped him again and said coldly, "Are you going to call him or not?"Greg didn't dare to protest again. He looked grim as he pulled out his phone and said viciously, "Fine. You're asking for it! Once my father gets here, I'll chop your hands off and feed them to the dogs!"Greg called his father and shouted, "Dad, bring some men over to Wild Rose! Someone beat me up!"Brady and Hans were at a nightclub, having drinks together in a private room. Brady looked ingratiatingly at Hans. "Mr. Wagner, when are you going to introduce me to Mr. Ballard?" he asked, grinning. "That depends on whether or not Mr. Ballard has time. Don't be anxious. I'll ask him tomorrow.""Thank you, Mr. Wagner," Brady simpered. Suddenly, his phone rang. Brady saw that Greg was calli
Javier fell with a thump onto the floor. He stared dazedly as Kayden was tied to a long bench with a rope."Bring in the family members of the victim. Who from the law enforcement hall will carry out the punishment?" Sebastian demanded.He pulled out a silver needle and pierced one of Kayden's acupuncture points, which would make him more alert.When a man in a wheelchair was pushed into the hall by a young woman who looked very frail, Sebastian stood up quickly.He said to the young man, "Kayden is the reason your family's fallen apart. We'll torture him to death very soon.""That asshole! He deserves to be slashed a million times!" the young man yelled at Kayden, clenching his fists tightly."Don't get agitated. He won't die before he gets cut 7,000 times. Although you don't have the right to carry out the execution, you can splash salt water over his wounds!"Sebastian took a bucket from one of the law enforcement hall apprentices and placed it in front of the young man."Se
At least that man had not had to grovel to the perpetrators to thank them. Not only did Brayden have to grovel to the law enforcement hall men, he even had to thank them!After about four hours, when Kayden had pulled up his pants, he went over to Brayden and said in a slightly ashamed tone, "Inspector Jefferson, I… I had no choice!"He sounded as if he was completely innocent.Brayden wanted to murder him. Just a minute earlier, when Joaquin had called out his name, he had been shaking with excitement. He had even forgotten about the pain of having his crotch injured and lunged toward Darla like a hungry wolf. Now, he was standing in front of Brayden, acting innocent?Brayden had only gotten into this state because of Kayden!After sending away all the reporters, Joaquin sent a message to Sebastian. In less than ten minutes, Sebastian sauntered back into the restaurant. He glanced at Darla, who was lying on the floor with a vacant look in her eyes. Sebastian patted Brayden's sh
If the incident was broadcast, it would be sure to cause an uproar, and Boren would become the center of the storm.However, Sebastian had made up his mind, and Joaquin didn't dare to try and dissuade him. He had no choice but to do as Sebastian had commanded and call over the news teams from all three states' television stations.Since the head director of a state was calling them personally, none of them dared to refuse. In less than two hours, the news teams from all three state television stations had arrived and were in position."What news are we broadcasting today, Mr. Ballard?" a female reporter asked Sebastian.She had seen how messy the place was, and there didn't seem to be anything for them to report about."Later, these people are going to help a family improve the gene pool, and I need you to broadcast the entire process live. Before you do, please play a recording of a phone call from Inspector Jefferson," Sebastian said. He sent the recording of the phone call
"Kneel!" Sebastian suddenly yelled.Brayden yelped with fear and fell to his knees."Sebastian, I… I'm a tristate inspector of the Martial Arts Court!"At that point, Brayden's final hope was his authority and position. He didn't want to die, and he especially didn't want to die for no reason.He just wanted to win favor with the ancestral being of the Berkeleys and get some tips on how to get a longer life."Call your wife! I'll give you two hours. If she doesn't come, you'll be tortured to death as well. I can tell you clearly that I'm a doctor, and I have ways to keep you alive until you get slashed 3,600 times with a knife!" Sebastian said icily."I…"Brayden trembled as he pulled out his phone. His mind had gone blank, and it took him a long time to find his wife's phone number. Her name was Darla Wyllis. "Hello? Honey? A handbag caught my eye today, but that stupid store actually refused to give it to me for free! It's a lousy handbag that only costs about 500 thousand d
Jayden had only gone a few steps, but he had no choice but to stop. He turned and grimaced at the Berkeleys and Brayden, who were all looking in his direction.He was filled with regret. He should have made his escape earlier instead of coming back with Brayden. Egbert and Yorrick were clearly fools. One of them had maimed himself and ended up vomiting blood relentlessly, while the other stood there like an idiot for Sebastian to slap him. He would be surprised if either of them could defeat Sebastian.As everyone was watching him, Jayden had no choice but to return to his previous spot. He looked nervously at Yorrick, praying inwardly that the old man would somehow get more skilled. He couldn't let Sebastian screw him over!"This is the last slap, old man. Do you still have any feeling in your face?" Sebastian asked, raising his palm."Damn you!" Yorrick swore violently. However, one of his front teeth had been knocked out earlier when he was slapped, and air escaped noisily t
The entire left side of Yorrick's face had become so numb that he couldn't feel a thing."Young man, just now you already hit me—""I only slapped you once!" Sebastian interrupted, holding up a finger.Yorrick spat and said, "How could one slap have made so many noises?"Sebastian replied innocently, "Everyone here can testify that I only hit you once, and I did it very slowly too. You all saw it, didn't you?"The onlookers nodded quickly, especially the experts from the law enforcement hall. They still couldn't figure out how an expert at Yorrick's level could have been sent flying through the air by a weak slap like that from Sebastian.What puzzled them the most was that Yorrick had clearly landed in a very safe spot. Why had he insisted on rolling into a pile of broken glass and gotten such a gaping wound on his face?"Fine!" Yorrick clenched his teeth and suppressed the pain in the right side of his face. "There are still two moves left!" he said viciously."Will you com
Sebastian nodded slightly. Yorrick had probably killed the young man because the latter was proficient in mystic spells and was already on the brink of the threshold. That could be the only reason for Yorrick's senseless deedThere were some people who couldn't bear seeing people who were stronger than them, which was why they made their move before their opponent could grow and develop."Are you really going to concede three moves to me, old man?" Sebastian stepped forward, grinning."Of course!" Yorrick answered, staring arrogantly at him.He still hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary with Sebastian, so he assumed that Sebastian was just an ordinary guy. He had probably only been able to defeat so many experts—including Egbert—because he had used some kind of trick. Egbert had lost because he had fallen into Sebastian's trap, not because of the latter's skills. That was why Egbert ended up suffering from the backlash of the ghost he had nurtured and lost his powers."I'll
"Young man, you're so cruel. Have you ever thought of the consequences of your actions?" Yorrick asked. He put his hands behind his back as he walked slowly toward Sebastian. Sebastian eyed Yorrick, whose training was at least on the same level as Egbert's. Besides, what he had studied was also a kind of spell. He and Sebastian specialized in the same study.The moment Yorrick got angry, Sebastian had sensed the faint power of Dainist principles from him."No blows are kind, and neither are harsh words! Why do you people feel that others should meekly allow you to beat them up? When your people are injured, you immediately think of it as the other party's mistake! That doesn't make any sense!" Sebastian answered coldly."Mr. Irving, kill that asshole!" Kayden said viciously. He was still clutching his crotch with one hand while he pointed at Sebastian with his other hand. Beside them, Jayden said defiantly, "Mr. Irving, you must not let this guy go! He's ruthless and extremely
Huh? Egbert frowned involuntarily. He had never felt that way before. What was going on? There was a loud blast, and the gigantic statue suddenly appeared out of thin air. At the same time, Egbert suddenly felt his blood churning inside him, and he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.He was about to turn and run when a black bolt of light hit him in the back. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew through the air like a broken kite. "Oh! Are you actually a sadist, old man?" Sebastian asked, smiling.Before Egbert could scramble up again, yet another bolt of dark light flew toward him."Damn it!"Egbert could no longer be conscious of his image and dignity. He swore at once. The dark light was aimed at his energy reserve. If he was hit, his decades of training would be completely ruined. However, he had plenty of life experience and had been through many such situations. When he saw the dark light flying toward him, he rolled across the floor like a bal
