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
Tommy didn't mind dying. However, he felt bad about dragging Sebastian into this.Sebastian laughed softly. He pulled Tommy back down and said calmly, "What are you afraid of? It's just Hans. There's nothing to be afraid of."Tommy's heart dropped to his stomach.Greg and the others looked surprised but immediately began laughing derisively. "What did you say, punk? Did you just address Mr. Wagner by name? You really do have a death wish!" Trina said scornfully, looking contemptuous."You're just an ignorant punk! We'll see if you can keep this up until the end!" Warren said coldly as he wiped away the blood from his nose. Greg looked sinister as he yelled, "Fine! Keep the act up! I'd like to see what you'll do when my father and Mr. Wagner get here!"At that moment, a black Range Rover pulled up at the entrance of Wild Rose.Brady quickly exited the car and respectfully opened the door for Hans. He said, "We're here, Mr. Wagner."Hans grunted and got out. They headed straig
Sebastian chuckled. With a swift kick in the gut, he sent Greg flying and crashing into the coffee table behind him. The coffee table completely shattered into pieces.His whole body covered in glass shards, Greg howled in pain as he bled.The room was dead silent. Everyone gawked at them in shock.They couldn't believe their eyes. Sebastian actually dared to hurt Greg right in front of Brady.That was Brady Camden that they're talking about! He's like a brother to Hans Wagner!Hans was right in the room next to theirs. This pathetic loser must be crazy! Did he know what he had gotten himself into for messing with Brady?Warren, Trina, and Kennedy were shaken to the core. However, cold, sarcastic smiles quickly appeared on their faces. These two broke losers were done for tonight!Brady had slaughtered those who had offended Greg and discarded their dead bodies in the woods.Tommy was shocked too. He never expected Sebastian to go this hard. While it felt amazing, Tommy knew Se
Kruz was an expert in the Grand Punch technique. Wanted by three countries, he was a criminal who had murdered dozens of people."Yes, sir," he answered in awkward Dracian. He stared at Sebastian like a hungry wolf, cracking his neck.He struck out a punch in the next second, aiming for Sebastian. Sebastian frowned as he felt the force of the attack. Kruz was a Warrior, a semi-Grandmaster at that. He was surprised to see such a powerful Warrior working for Brady.Brady looked at Sebastian, who was sitting wide-eyed on the sofa. He cackled and turned to Greg and the others. He told them, "This brat is toast. Let me take you guys to meet Mr. Wagner."To his knowledge, Kruz never missed his target. Sebastian was as good as dead.However, before he even finished talking, a figure was sent flying past him. With a bang, the door crashed into the ground. Then, with a louder bang, something slammed into the hallway wall outside.Brady was dumbfounded. He took a good look outside and re
The old man nodded slightly and said, "That's right. My name is Solomon Jackman. If you think things through, you can come to Townsend Clinic. We can discuss the price!"Solomon bowed to Sebastian before squeezing out of the crowd. Cliff's eyes reddened as he watched Solomon leave. Solomon was a prominent figure in Acorn City. Not only did he have exceptional medical skills, he was also skilled in martial arts. However, neither of those were Solomon's true specialty. What he was most skilled at was antique appraisal! Any antique that Solomon appraised was sure to be a treasure among treasures.Noticing Sebastian and Unus turning to walk away, Cliff immediately became agitated. "Stop!" he shouted.Sebastian turned to glance at him and said, "A deal's a deal. No returns or refunds. You said that yourself. It's the rule of the antique industry!"Cliff ignored all of that. He came out from behind his stall and grabbed Sebastian's sleeve. "I'm not going to sell that emerald pendan
"I don't think that you've seen the original form of this emerald pendant, either," Sebastian said, smiling coldly at Cliff. Cliff looked disdainfully at him. He felt that Sebastian was just unhappy about being tricked and was trying to provoke him. "Stop putting on that mysterious act. Why wouldn't I know about something that belongs to me?" Cliff demanded with a scoff. "You might really not know," Sebastian replied. He closed his palm slightly and exerted a slight force. The layer of stone on top of the emerald pendant peeled off. While everyone looked on, dumbstruck, Sebastian opened his palm once more. The crowd gasped.There were two clouds of energy on the emerald pendant, chasing each other like a pair of fish. One was black, while the other was red. The emerald pendant had been square-shaped originally, but it had now become a round emerald buckle. In the middle of it, a pale yellow energy was rising slowly. Everyone cried out in shock. It was clearly a rare trea
Some people just didn't know what was good for them. Even if Cliff had wanted to laugh, he should have waited for Sebastian to leave before doing so. How could he call a buyer a fool while they were still there?"It may be a little crude, my young friend, but it doesn't change the fact that you were hoodwinked!" Cliff said, guffawing gleefully.Since Sebastian had already paid, he could no longer take it back. After all, it was a rule never to accept returns or refunds. When Cliff thought of how he had charged Sebastian more than ten thousand for something that had only cost him about 300 to 400 dollars, he became even more smug. "You'll just have to bear with it, my young friend. Not regretting your purchase is the rule of the antique industry. Even if you've now found out that you were deceived, you can't get your money back!""That's right. The work on the emerald pendant that you're holding is so shoddy that it was clearly just done last week. It's a new item!" "Watch out
Sebastian laughed at the reluctant expression on the stall owner's face. He weighed the emerald pendant in his hand and asked, "Mister, are you sure that this emerald pendant is worth 210 thousand?"With that, he tossed it onto the counter and turned to leave."Huh?"The stall owner immediately ran around to the front of the stall when he saw that Sebastian was about to leave. He grabbed him and said, "Don't be in such a rush to leave, my young friend. Let's negotiate. If you're sincere about buying it, I'll sell it to you at 150 thousand, and I'll be making a loss. Let this be the start of a friendship between us!"Sebastian smiled slightly and said, "Mister, even a layman can tell that this emerald pendant is a fake. I just like the patterns on it because it's quite trendy. That's why I asked about it on a whim."Describing the patterns on the antique as trendy only served to show how obvious it was that it was a fake.The stall owner turned beet red, then white. He cursed hi
However, the more famous something was, the more imitations there would be. Antiques were no exception. In Boren, streets filled with antique stores were abundant. From Klane City to the smallest town, they were omnipresent.There were stores and stalls of various kinds that had everything, but all of them had one thing in common. All the antiques and trinkets that they sold were a mixed bag of authentic and fake. Buyers had to rely on their own judgment. There was also an unspoken rule there. Once a deal was made, no returns were allowed. If a buyer had paid for an item before realizing that something was wrong or recognizing that it was a fake, they would have no choice but to accept it. There was a saying about how the golden age of antiques was during times of chaos. Although they were now in times of peace, many members of the upper class were still very interested in them. Both experts and laymen liked to have a few collector's items in their homes. There were plenty of we
"Watch him closely! If you lose him, I'll have your head!" Anton said before hanging up. A malicious grin spread across his face.As the son of the head director of Boren Martial Arts Court, many were eager to curry favor with him. If it came to dealing with Sebastian, there were plenty of people willing to do the dirty work for him. Acorn City was the second largest city in Boren after Klane City, and Anton knew just who to call. About two weeks ago, the Lynch family of Acorn City had sent gifts to him. However, as the Lynches were a third-rate elite martial arts family, Anton had dismissed them. That was why, despite searching frantically, he couldn't find Colton Lynch's name card."Damn it! Where did that asshole's name card get to?"It was the first time Anton had been so anxious about finding the name card of an heir from a third-rate family. After rummaging around for a while, Anton had a sudden flash of inspiration. It was in the trash can!He suddenly remembered that
Sebastian laughed wryly and shook his head at Nina's words. "Nina, you're staying behind so everyone thinks I'm still here. Rowan and Arran will stay here with you so that no one will become suspicious!"Nina frowned. "But I'll be worried about you being with Unus. It's still just a beast whose rational capabilities aren't fully developed yet. What if it—"Sebastian smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry. Hugo has subdued them completely already, so nothing unexpected will happen. Honestly, there isn't much in Boren that worries me. However, if the Yome Sect enters Steinberg while its defenses are down, we'll be put in a difficult position."Though reluctant, Nina finally agreed.That night, Sebastian quietly brought Unus out with him. As soon as he walked out of the hotel doors, two thugs hiding at the side of the road who had been watching them stealthily immediately reported his movements to Anton."Are you sure it was Sebastian?" Anton demanded sharply."Positive! He looks e
"Kneel!" Joaquin yelled at Anton the moment he entered the room.Anton immediately dropped to his knees with a loud thud in front of Sebastian."My lord, my son is worthless. Everything that happened before was his doing. He has been a disgrace to our family. Please have mercy on his crimes," Joaquin said. He looked up at Sebastian and was puzzled to see how terrible his complexion was.Nina had been injured the day before, so why was it now the other way around? She had a rosy complexion, while Sebastian looked as white as a sheet."Alright. The important thing is to learn from one's mistakes and change. Don't forget the oath that you made. If you break it, I won't have to punish you. The law of heaven will act accordingly!" Sebastian said coldly."Yes, of course! I would never dare to break the oath! But…" Joaquin looked at Sebastian with a troubled expression.Sebastian frowned slightly and asked, "But what?""I can see that you don't look very well, my lord. Should I prepa
After resting for the whole night, Nina's complexion had almost returned to normal. Even the wounds on her body had almost healed.In stark contrast, Sebastian looked worse than ever.It was the aftereffect of losing too much blood essence. If it wasn't for the fact that he had the legacy of the Sacred Medicine Society, he might have already been half-dead. Even so, Sebastian felt weaker than he had ever felt before. His legs felt like jelly, and he was unsteady on his feet."My lord…"Rowan blanched with fear when he saw Sebastian. Sebastian was as pale as a sheet. Even his lips had lost all color."My lord, how did you get into this state?" Rowan asked, clearly confused. Sebastian had seemed fine when they returned to Mount Klane the night before. Waving his hand slightly, Sebastian replied, "I'm fine. I'll get better after some rest. Why are you up so early?"Rowan grew even more worried after hearing how frail Sebastian sounded."My lord, did you get severely injured o
