Chapter 617

Author: Wendell Mayhew
Gideon shot to his feet furiously as he roared, "Why aren't you trying to outbid me?"

Vincent sighed loudly. "It's too expensive. I can't outbid you. I'm simply not as rich as you are. He then said gleefully, "Congratulations on buying the beads for 390 million dollars."

As he spoke, he couldn't help the smug grin that was spreading across his face.

Gideon suddenly understood what was happening. His deception had been exposed!

Then, he turned to the auctioneer and yelled desperately, "No! My bid doesn't count! Vincent can have it for 385 million dollars!"

Gideon was about to rip out all of his hair from frustration.

390 million dollars… for a fake artifact? He couldn't believe that he had to pay for a fake!

As he screeched, he turned to Vincent and growled, "Hindon! Bid 400 million dollars on the bid now! I'll let you have it! Do you know how good these beads are?"

Gideon was panicking to the point where he was losing his mind.

The other attendees watched him suspiciously.

    "Who would've thought that the Tri-Sage Master was a fraud?" Vincent sighed.And to think that he used to worship him as well.The auctioneer finalized the bid, and the beads were officially Gideon's.Sebastian chuckled as he whispered, "Do you want to have some more fun?""What do you mean?" Vincent asked suspiciously."Obviously, we're going to expose their lies."Vincent paused and asked anxiously, "Are you sure you can do it, Dr. Ballard? After all, the Tri-Sage Master is not someone you can afford to offend.""Trust me," Sebastian said confidently.After that, he yelled loudly, "How does it feel to buy a fake artifact for 390 million dollars, Mr. Dankworth."At that, the hall erupted into a cacophony of whispers. Everyone was staring wide-eyed at Sebastian.Rosalie also turned to stare at him worriedly. "This idiot! How could he expose them like that? Does he want to die?" she mumbled anxiously.Phillips frowned but chuckled as he studied Sebastian.Meanwhile, Gideon f

    The attendees in the auction hall began to disperse. Gideon was looking for the Tri-Sage Master to redeem his 195 million dollars, but the old man was already gone.Sebastian and Vincent, on the other hand, were preparing to leave. Coincidentally, Sebastian bumped into Rosalie at the exit."Ms. Griffin," Sebastian greeted.Rosalie seemed to walk faster as she ignored Sebastian.Phillips, who was by her side, chuckled. "Aren't you going to talk to him?""We have nothing to talk about! He's a playboy!" Rosalie said angrily as she urged Phillips to leave.Phillips was an experienced observer. He pretended to have a stomachache and said, "Oh, my stomach hurts. I need to use the restroom. Wait for me." Ignoring Rosalie's puzzled expression, he turned and left. As he walked away, he nodded slightly at the approaching Sebastian and whispered, "Make sure to console her."Sebastian, though unfamiliar with Phillips, smiled back and replied, "Thank you." He then approached Rosalie an

    "Why wouldn't it look good?" Rosalie rolled her eyes and whispered into Sebastian's ears. "Then, should I drop by your store later? I'm yours tonight."Those words could really make any man go feral. Sebastian was stunned. Then, he let out a breath. He knew he had to make a choice between Rosalie and Whitney."We'll talk about it later." Sebastian didn't promise or reject her.Afterward, they left the club together. It was already late at night. Suddenly, Sebastian noticed a murderous intent, and he frowned. "Is it that Tri-Sage Master?" Sebastian thought to himself with a chuckle.He looked at Rosalie and said, "Rosalie, head back first. I have something to take care of.""What is it? Do you want me to come with you?" Rosalie asked. She didn't want to part from him."It's a private matter.""Alright then, come back soon. I'll be waiting for you at the store," Rosalie replied. She gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before leaving.Watching Rosalie walk away, Sebastian let

    Sebastian chuckled coldly. "Is that so? Well, let's see who comes out on top tonight!""How arrogant!" The Tri-Sage Master snorted, his face twisted with sinister intent. With a wave of his hand and a muttered incantation, he bellowed, "Trap!"In an instant, the protective charms affixed to the surrounding trees stirred without wind, emitting an eerie rustle. Strings of red light swiftly connected like threads, binding toward Sebastian! The spectacle, if witnessed by the average person, would surely challenge their beliefs. Sebastian chuckled lightly. "Mere child's play." With that, he propelled himself off the ground and, like a sword, charged straight at the Tri-Sage Master!Seeing this, the Tri-Sage Master smirked confidently. "You fool, you have no idea of the power of this Corpse Trapping Circle. You're just walking into a trap!"As he spoke, the strings of red light transformed into serpentine forms, swiftly darting toward Sebastian's limbs, attempting to bind him! Wi

    The Tri-Sage Master was taken aback. He barely had time to react before he was heavily smashed to the ground by the corpse puppets."Shit!" The Tri-Sage Master cursed while trying to get up. But before he could, five more corpse puppets were kicked into the air and came crashing down on top of him, pinning him down firmly.Then, Sebastian approached with his hands in his pockets, looking down at the Tri-Sage Master struggling to breathe under the weight. He said coldly, "How does it feel to be pinned down like that?""You brat! You're asking for death!" the Tri-Sage Master roared, attempting to conjure a spell with his raised hand.Sebastian frowned and flicked his fingers. Then, several silver needles shot out, piercing the Tri-Sage Master's arm.The next moment, the Tri-Sage Master's hands went numb, and he cried out in agony. "What did you do to me?""Nothing much, just keeping you in check for now," Sebastian replied casually.The Tri-Sage Master felt despair creeping in.

    They spent the night without saying a word.Sebastian woke up the next day and got up from the couch. Well, he wasn't a womanizer. Also, he knew they should take more time to get to know each other more.Rosalie also woke up and freshened herself up. She didn't even have breakfast before she rushed back home."What's wrong?" Sebastian asked."My mom needs me for something related to the company.""Do you need me to accompany you?"Rosalie smiled and replied, "It's just a minor issue. I'll handle it and come back to be with you.""Alright, take your time." Sebastian sighed helplessly. He couldn't stand Rosalie's teasing anymore. She had been flirting with him since last night. Despite his strong self-control, he was on the verge of giving in.Rosalie grinned mischievously as she turned and ran toward Sebastian to plant a kiss on his cheek. "Bye."Sebastian watched her leave with resignation.Once Rosalie was gone, Sebastian remembered the Sky Devouring Bottle he had acquir

    Sebastian frowned slightly and asked, "Paramount Group from Sunway? Are they impressive?"He hadn't been closely following the business world at Steinberg in recent years, let alone large corporations in Sunway like Paramount Group.Penelope explained, "Paramount Group is one of the top five conglomerates in Sunway, with a market value of over 60 billion. It's a publicly traded company primarily focused on the nationwide and overseas sales of pharmaceuticals, health products, and skincare products. "Their CEO, George Cowper, wants to discuss a partnership for the nationwide and overseas distribution of Arctic Snow Mask."Sebastian considered it and asked, "What do you think?"Penelope hesitated slightly before responding, "To be honest, Mr. Ballard, Paramount Group is quite strong. The main advantage is their overseas sales channels, which account for half of the national market. Partnering with them shouldn't pose any major issues.""Alright, prepare for it. I'll accompany you

    George's face darkened with displeasure as he angrily retorted, "Who the hell are you? Do you think you have a right to speak here? "Ms. Cain, who is this man? Why did you bring him? Don't you know tonight is a crucial meeting between your company and Paramount Group? "Why did you bring someone so disrespectful? Do you not want to cooperate?"George was furious. Never before had anyone dared to challenge Paramount Group during negotiations. Companies typically begged for their attention, but this audacious young man was questioning and opposing them.Penelope quickly tried to smooth things over with a forced smile. "I'm sorry, Mr. Cowper. He's my assistant. But regarding the terms you mentioned, we find it hard to accept."George sneered coldly. "Ms. Cain, think carefully. Paramount Group controls both domestic and international sales channels. If Arctic Snow Mask wants to achieve greater success, it's difficult to find another company capable of handling its distribution like

    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

    As the car started, the two burly men kept close behind it.Rowan looked back at them from time to time and saw that the two burly men were keeping a fixed distance from the car. He couldn't help gasping.Weren't they walking inhumanly fast?"My lord, they—"Rowan pointed at the two burly men behind them."Don't ask about things that you shouldn't ask about," Sebastian said, looking down at Nina, who was still in a coma.He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her complexion was becoming rosy once more.After arriving back in Mount Klane, Sebastian checked into a five-star hotel at Joaquin's insistence. Once he had settled Nina in, Sebastian called the two Devora to his room."Do you have names?" he asked.The two Devora shook their heads slightly. Like Hugo had said, they had been born of Dragon Energy, and they caught beasts in the mountains for food every day. Why would they have names?"Well, you've got to give me a way to differentiate between you, right? You even

    Arran and Rowan asked in confusion, "Aren't we going to look for the Ballard Estate anymore, my lord?"Sebastian turned to look at Arran. "We'll die before we reach the Ballard Estate!"Arran didn't know how powerful Nina was, but Rowan knew better than anyone that Nina was a top expert. If even she had gotten severely injured, Rowan and Arran would have no chance of entering Mount Quiln at all."Arran, trust in Mr. Ballard. Leaving Mount Quiln is the right thing to do!" Rowan said. He held Joaquin safely and asked Sebastian, "What do we do with him, my lord?"Sebastian turned to look at Joaquin. He said impassively, "Joaquin, I should execute you on the spot!"Joaquin immediately knelt and groveled. "Mr. Ballard, I'm willing to be your servant too. Please, if you don't kill me, you can tell me to do anything!""I don't have to kill you, but you mustn't let anything about what happened tonight leak out. Otherwise, I'll kill your entire family!" Sebastian said coldly.Joaquin s

    "Do you think it's worth losing all your training to save her? Aren't you afraid of dying?" Hugo couldn't help asking bluntly. Sebastian smiled slightly. "I'm scared! However, she only got into this state because she was trying to save me. How could I just abandon her? We may just be master and servant, but our fates are related!"Hugo couldn't help shaking his head. "Young man, I can only save you this time. As we move forward, I may have trouble even protecting myself. Therefore, take these two items and go home!" Hugo reached out with one hand and dropped the Devora in front of Sebastian. He had been tortured half to death.The Devora was panting heavily. Although he understood that Hugo couldn't kill him, the endless torture was worse than death."Bite the tip of your tongue and wipe the blood on his brow!" Hugo instructed blandly.Sebastian held Nina up with one hand and did as Hugo had said. "Now say, the servant dies with the master, and heaven and earth bear witness!"
