Chapter 5

Author: Wendell Mayhew
Inside the bedroom, Levi turned to Jonah and said placatingly, "Sorry about that, Dr. Pike. My daughter is too naive. I'm sure she got fooled by someone. I'll give her a good scolding later. Please carry on with the treatment."

"Alright," Jonah responded before swiftly placing the next needle.

Once he placed the final needle, Oliver, who had been unconscious for many days, slowly opened his eyes.

"Dad, you're awake! How wonderful!"

Levi was so emotional that his eyes grew red.

The Griffin family had consulted all of the most famous doctors in the world to find someone who could treat Oliver. Alas, it was to no avail.

In the end, they came to Steinberg and went to great lengths to get Jonah to come and take a look at Oliver.

"You are indeed the genius doctor of Steinberg, Dr. Pike. You were able to save my father from the throes of death! I have never seen anything like this before. From now on, you will forever be the Griffins' most honored guest," Levi declared as he swiftly expressed his gratitude.

Jonah waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's not a big deal. You need not be so courteous with me, Mr. Griffin."

Yet, all of a sudden, Oliver's eyes bulged as he began trembling violently. After sputtering out a mouthful of blood, he lost consciousness once more.

"Dad? Dad!"

Panicking, Levi shouted, "What's going on, Dr. Pike? Quick! Think of something you can do."

Jonah was flustered as well. Sweating profusely, he exclaimed helplessly, "I don't know … I've never seen this happening before …"

"Hurry up and check on my father then!" Levi shot back.

Jonah rushed forward to check on Oliver's pulse. His heart almost stopped beating!

Oliver's pulse was so weak that it meant he was on the verge of death.

In an instant, Jonah paled. Rattled, he backed away from the bed and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Griffin. I can't be of any help. I can't treat Mr. Griffin Senior's condition. You need to start preparing for the worst."

Levi flew into a rage. Losing his rationality, he bellowed, "You fool! If anything happens to my father, you're going with him! Treat him! Hurry up and treat him! If my father dies, so will you!"

The Griffins of Janover were extremely powerful.

They could easily deal with a doctor.

Jonah was terrified. Filled with anxiety, he scrambled to pick up his needles with his shaky hands, but he dared not do anything.

All of a sudden, he recalled the young man from earlier and exclaimed, "Mr. Griffin, maybe … the young man outside has a way. Ms. Griffin said he has something called a Goldcrow pill that can treat all illnesses, right? Your father's condition is truly beyond my abilities …"

Levi froze as he abruptly recalled Sebastian.

After taking one look at his unconscious father, Levi shot out of the bedroom.

All this while, Sebastian had been sitting leisurely in the living room.

He knew that if Levi wanted to keep Oliver alive, he would come and plead with him at some point.

Oliver's fate would affect every single member of the Griffin family. If he died, the Griffins of Janover would fall apart.

Levi ran out of the bedroom and instantly spotted Sebastian in the living room. He rushed over and shouted, "Dr. Ballard, please save my father! We'll pay you handsomely for your Goldcrow pill!"

Rosalie was startled. She did not expect Levi to actually come out and beg for Sebastian's help.

Chuckling, Sebastian took out a small wooden box and set it on the coffee table.

"This is the Goldcrow pill," he said nonchalantly.

Overjoyed, Levi reached out for the box, but Sebastian said icily, "There's something else you need to know, Mr. Griffin. The Goldcrow pill alone isn't enough. It needs to be combined with my acupuncture treatment before it can effectively treat Mr. Griffin Senior's condition.

"If he consumes the Goldcrow pill by itself, it would be akin to consuming poison!"

Levi stiffened. His hand hung awkwardly in the air.

Then, he swiftly asked with a smile, "Please save my father, Dr. Ballard."

"Don't forget about our bet, Mr. Griffin. Get on your knees and beg," Sebastian reminded curtly.

    The moment Sebastian's words rang out, the living room descended into silence.Not a single sound could be heard.Rosalie jumped to her feet. Blushing hard, she stared wide-eyed at Sebastian.She could not believe he had the audacity to ask Levi to get on his knees and beg.Levi's expression was unpleasant as well.But, his hesitation only lasted for a brief moment before he fell to his knees and pleaded with utmost sincerity, "Please save my father, Dr. Ballard."Sebastian set down his cup and remarked, "As expected of you, Mr. Griffin. You know when to yield. I'll do it. You may rise."He started walking toward the bedroom.Levi got back on his feet.Rosalie hurried over to him and asked, "Dad, you just—"Levi cut her off and said, "Don't say anything more. I was wrong earlier. It was only right for me to kneel."Then, his eyes flashed menacingly as he continued, "However, if he fails to do what he claims he can do, I'll make him pay!"Although Sebastian was further up, h

    "You know your stuff after all. I'm surprised you're familiar with the soul revival technique," Sebastian remarked with a chuckle."I came across records of it in an ancient text by accident, Dr. Ballard. I never thought I'd get to witness it in person today. Please take me as your student, Dr. Ballard!" Jonah said once more.Feeling helpless, Sebastian had no choice but to agree. "Don't tell anyone else I'm your mentor, understood?""Yes, of course. I understand," Jonah said respectfully as he stood beside Sebastian.At that moment, Levi came forward. His mannerisms were respectful as he expressed, "Thank you for saving my father, Dr. Ballard. From today onward, we, the Griffins, will forever be indebted to you! "If you ever need anything, just say the word, and we'll do anything within our means to get it done!""You don't need to be so courteous with me, Mr. Griffin. It wasn't a big deal," Sebastian said."But, I do need your help with something. The Griffins are business ma

    "Are you insulting me?" Mabel fumed."Who else, if not you? You came on behalf of Frostwave Corporation? What makes you qualified to represent them? Your shamelessness?"Mabel ground her teeth in anger. Reining in her fury, she growled, "I know you're upset because of the divorce, Sebastian, but you should know that things won't work out between you and Ms. Sutton. You'll only be dragging her down if you stay with her!"Plus, you're the one who has done wrong by Ms. Sutton, not the other way around! You said that you were preparing to give Ms. Sutton the Goldcrow pill as a gift for your third wedding anniversary. Are you refusing to keep your word now just because you've divorced? Are you even a man?"She continued, "I'm telling you right now! Whether you like it or not, you're going to hand over the formula for the Goldcrow pill today! If anything, I can just tell Ms. Sutton to take you to court. After all, the formula counts as marital property, doesn't it? The court will declare

    Frowning, Whitney asked curiously, "Did you manage to get Dr. Pike to join us?"Mabel shook her head and replied, "No. Dr. Pike said he wanted to retreat from society and focus on honing his medical expertise."Whitney rubbed her temples and sighed.One of her plans to expand the company was by hiring Jonah to be Frostwave Corporation's consultant doctor. It looked like they had to set that plan aside for now."But, I got the formula for the Goldcrow pill, Ms. Sutton!"Mabel sounded extremely pleased with herself as she sent the formula Sebastian gave her to Whitney through her phone.Whitney frowned and asked, "The formula for the Goldcrow pill? What's that?"Mabel swiftly explained everything, and she even played a recording of her call with Jonah."Is the Goldcrow pill really that incredible? Even Dr. Pike wouldn't be able to create something like it?" Whitney exclaimed. She was dumbstruck.Mabel hummed in confirmation and nodded before adding, "Now that we have the formu

    "That's enough!" Whitney snapped in fury. "What do you mean by this, Sebastian? Are you telling me to give up on this project?""That's right," Sebastian replied."And then what?" Whitney questioned. "Become like you, someone who daydreams in that little shop of his? I'm so disappointed in you, Sebastian!""Hasn't Frostwave Corporation given you enough?" Sebastian asked.Taking a deep breath, Whitney declared, "You're so ignorant, Sebastian! I'm definitely going to do my best to carry out the Goldcrow pill project! The more you insist on trying to stop me, the harder I'll work to make it a success!"I'll prove to you that you're not the only one who can make Frostwave Corporation successful! I can do it too!"After a long silence, Sebastian sighed exasperatedly and said, "I've given you enough warnings. I hope you won't come begging me for help in the future.""I'll never beg for your help!" Whitney shrieked before terminating the call. The conversation ended on a sour note.Wh

    For four consecutive years, Isabel topped the list of powerful businesswomen in Steinberg as the one with the most potential and influence.It was not at all an exaggeration to call her the queen of Steinberg's business world.In the last year, Isabel was all Whitney could talk about.She was the person Whitney wanted to be and was also a role model for all the women in Steinberg's business world.Isabel was the reason why Whitney changed.Sebastian frowned when he heard that yet another person had come under Chester's recommendation."I don't need five minutes. I've gotten everything I need to know. I can treat you," Sebastian said.Isabel was taken aback.All of Steinberg was aware of her condition, but she had consulted with numerous renowned doctors, and no one was able to treat it.She even offered a handsome fee. Alas, it was to no avail.In fact, Isabel even said that as long as someone could find a cure for her strange condition, she was willing to marry that person,

    "Take everything off?" Isabel repeated. Startled, she turned bright red.She did not expect Sebastian to bluntly ask that she take off her clothes and underwear.Even though she was a career woman with a long list of accolades, she had never dated anyone before.In the last four years, she did not even hold a man's hand, let alone strip naked in front of one …After hesitating briefly, Isabel turned around. With her back toward Sebastian, she slowly took off her dress, revealing her smooth and flawless back.The gentle curves of her neck and shoulders as well as her slender waist made Sebastian gulp. He was a little dazed.Meanwhile, Isabel was so embarrassed that she was trembling.She slowly took off her black lace underwear before swiftly lying head down on the bed. Her ample bosom was squished against the mattress."I'm ready," Isabel muttered with her head turned to the side. She dared not look at Sebastian.Her cheeks were flamed.Sebastian took in the voluptuous physiq

    "Sure, if I have the time," Sebastian responded non-committedly.Isabel left.After getting into her car, she called her secretary and instructed, "Look into someone for me. I want all the information there is on him. He's the first man in four years to have touched me and seen me naked. I'll be seeing a lot of him from now on."…Meanwhile, over at the CEO's office in Frostwave Corporation, Whitney asked Mabel, "Is everything ready for the press conference?""Yes, everything's ready," Mabel replied.Whitney got up. "Come. Let's head over there now."The press conference was extremely important. She was not going to allow anything to go wrong.The lobby of Frostwave Corporation had been set up for the press conference. Several media channels were broadcasting the event in real-time.The words "Goldcrow Pill" were featured boldly on the large backdrop.As the crowd clapped, Whitney walked up to the podium with a smile and said, "Firstly, I'd like to thank all of you for taking

    At Keanu's age, he no longer placed any importance on pride. What mattered most was being able to continue living. Even Phineas was shocked when Keanu knelt. After all, he was the Keanu Norris!With a single thought, the countless shadows behind Sebastian disappeared at once, while he appeared in front of Keanu."Didn't you just say that you would destroy my whole family?" Sebastian asked coldly."I… I would never dare to do so!"Keanu broke out in a cold sweat.Sebastian was already so powerful despite being so young. It had made Keanu think of a name that everyone in the Nine Sects was terrified of—the Sacred Medicine Society! The only reasonable explanation was that Sebastian was from the Sacred Medicine Society! At the very least, he was probably an apprentice of someone mysterious in that sect.Sebastian slapped Keanu and asked icily, "Do the Sapientia have privileges?"Keanu shook his head hastily, and blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth. Sebastian's slap had

    Keanu was furious. This was the first time someone hadn't trembled after hearing his name, especially when it was a young man in his 20s!"Since you know my name, aren't you going to admit to your crimes and accept your punishment?"Phineas hastily approached him and said, "Mr. Norris, this—"Before he could finish, Keanu silenced him with a slap, sending him flying eight feet away.Phineas saw stars, and he struggled for a while on the ground, unable to get up.Sebastian glanced at Phineas and said coldly, "Norris, apologize to him now and it won't be too late. Otherwise, your luck ends here!"Keanu glanced at him and said, "You brat! This day next year is going to be your death anniversary. If you have any last words, say them now!"Keanu slowly pulled out his sword and pointed it at Sebastian."Last words?" Sebastian scoffed and strode forward. In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Keanu.He had moved so fast that it surpassed Keanu's imagination. How could a you

    Phineas had wanted to arrive first so he could stop Sebastian from killing Ezekiel."So what if he's Ezekiel's mentor? Does that mean that the Sapientia can do as they please without getting punished?" Sebastian asked icily.Phineas broke into a cold sweat and said, "Mr. Ballard, it's not wise to offend Mr. Norris. He's in the top 100 of the Nine Sects. You might not understand the difference here, but Ezekiel isn't even in the top 5,000."Sebastian scoffed. "Well, I'd like to meet Mr. Norris, then. I want to see just how impressive he is."He wasn't the only one who was highly skilled. He also had Lyanna and Nina with him. Even if a deity had come down to the earth, Sebastian would have wanted to meet them, let alone Keanu.As they spoke, a black car stopped at the entrance to the estate. An old man with a white beard who was dressed in red Dainist robes got out of the car haughtily. As he walked into the estate, he shouted, "Ezekiel, come out here on your knees to greet me!"

    Sebastian smiled slightly and asked, "You understand now, don't you? Purity isn't a sword that anyone can use. If you want to use it, you must first be strong enough."As he spoke, Sebastian spread his fingers out, and Purity flew back into his hand as if it were alive.The moment it landed in Sebastian's palm, lightning crackled along its blade, and it emitted a pale blue glow again. That was the moment when Ezekiel realized that the problem wasn't with Purity but with its wielder.Ezekiel couldn't help staring at Sebastian in shock. Wouldn't that mean that Sebastian's powers were above those of the Sapientia's leader?"If you understand, you can also go and die now."Sebastian smiled thinly and waved his hand. A bolt of lightning shot forth. With a dull thud, over a dozen heads fell to the ground at the same time. Percival and his men collapsed alongside them.After that, Lyanna and Nina worked together. Apart from a few local Warriors from Steinberg, all the Sapientia's ap

    At that moment, all Percival could think about was ensuring his survival.Sebastian glanced coldly at him and smiled. "Mr. Chard, that's not what you said before."He had no intention of letting Percival and the others leave alive.Maximus was just a clown at most. Even if he was permitted to leave, he couldn't endanger Sebastian, Whitney, or Rosalie. Percival and the others were different. They were used to throwing their weight around. Although they had submitted to Sebastian today because of the circumstances, they were sure to hold a grudge against him for it.In the future, the lives of those around Sebastian would be threatened the moment he let down his guard."Mr. Ballard, I really was talking nonsense. You're our league leader. I'll be sure to keep our agreement from now on," Percival said, groveling so hard to Sebastian that he grazed his forehead. Blood trickled down his cheeks."Mr. Ballard, we made a mistake too! We… we all came because we received the Martial Go

    "The person who's going to kill you!" Lyanna answered, smiling calmly at Ezekiel.The elite martial arts families and the members of the sects from Steinberg had all retreated far away in fear. Unfortunately, the space in the yard was limited, and they were soon backed into a corner with nowhere else to go.While they cowered in fear, Nina turned into her true form. A huge snake reared up more than 40 feet in the air and began voraciously devouring the corpses on the ground, its red tongue flicking in and out. The estate had become a living hell.Percival wet his pants in fear. What was going on? This wasn't how things were supposed to go at all!Shouldn't they have brought the women with Sebastian over here and forced Sebastian to hand Purity over before slashing him to death? After that, they would have divided Sebastian's women and assets among them!Why were they the ones being slaughtered and eaten instead?"M-Mr. Harton… what should we do?" Percival stuttered.He was tru

    "H-How dare you?" Ezekiel had turned pale with anger.How could Sebastian have flayed and removed every bone of a Sapientia member? Was there still justice in the world? Was there any respect for the elders?"Hmph! You want to harm the women around me, yet you won't permit me to enact a small punishment on you and your men?" Sebastian asked, laughing scornfully."Sebastian, you bastard. You're defying your elders, and you have no respect for them! The martial arts community is a place where seniority is important!" Ezekiel yelled.Just as he finished speaking, a bolt of white light came to the estate at an extremely high speed. With the white light came a lump of bloody, tattered flesh.Nina had tossed Gaston into the yard."My lord, Lyanna's pulled out all his bones. Please inspect him," Nina said, smiling.That was when everyone noticed the bloody lump on the ground. They only recognized Gaston when they looked closely!There was a strip of red cloth stuck on his body, and he

    Sebastian shook his head slightly and said, "Mr. Harton, even if you make me hand it over, you should have a reason to do so."Everyone looked viciously at him.How could he still be so arrogant? He had been relying on Purity to put on a tough act, and he was now surrounded by more than 1,000 people. Could he really break through just by using the sword? "Aiden's tragic death is the reason! You just stood by instead of saving him, and that's the reason too," Ezekiel said coldly. "Yes!" Percival chimed in. "You're the league leader. How could you bear watching him die?" "That's right! What you did is an act of betrayal in the martial arts community!" the other sect leaders chorused. "League leader? Do you really think that I don't know?" Sebastian's gaze swept over Percival and the others. "You formed this so-called league just because you covet Purity. Aiden's death in the arena was his own doing. He was greedy, and he got what he deserved!" As soon as Sebastian's words fel

    Life was tough out in the world. People couldn't do as they pleased just because they were skilled.Wits were the only factor in survival. However, how sharp could a young man in his 20s be?"Mr. Harton, I don't quite understand what you mean. Didn't we already deal with this issue earlier?" Sebastian asked, looking uninterestedly at Ezekiel."Sebastian!" Percival suddenly yelled. "What kind of place do you think this is? Do you think you're still in the martial arts arena?"Percival no longer had enough patience to keep up his act. He would have harmed Sebastian on the way back if he hadn't been wary of Purity, knowing that he might not be a match for it.Now that Sebastian was alone and was surrounded by more than 1,000 people on the estate, how could he still remain so arrogant?"Oh? What kind of place is this? Hell?" Sebastian asked, his gaze sweeping over the crowd around him. A white-haired old man squeezed out of the crowd and pointed at him. "Sebastian, you've been lawl
