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
Upon hearing this, George sneered and said, "Excuse me? Apologize? Apologize for what? You're a mere assistant from a small company. How dare you command me to apologize?""Not going to apologize, huh?" Sebastian chuckled coldly. Without warning, he kicked George, sending him flying. George crashed to the floor, clutching his chest and coughing up blood. "You little punk! You're dead! Just you wait! I'll blacklist your company!"With that, George, assisted by his assistant, left the room in embarrassment.Seeing George leave, Penelope sighed with worry, and her face was filled with concern. "Mr. Ballard, we've offended Mr. Cowper, which means we've offended Paramount Group. It's going to be troublesome in the future."Sebastian calmly replied, "It's fine. Can an old rogue like him really hold sway over everything? Don't forget, this is Steinberg, not Sunway. Even if it was Sunway, I have connections."With that, Sebastian took out his phone and called Charles. "Mr. Leyton, I nee
After he hung up, Brady said to his subordinate angrily, "Call 50 of our men. Follow me to the Golden Glow Hotel!""Yes, sir!" his subordinate replied.Brady's face was twisted with cold fury. His anger from the last time Sebastian had taught him a lesson was still smoldering, with no outlet to let it out. Of course, he didn't dare to confront Sebastian, especially since Hans had let him go out because of their bond. But now, someone else actually dared to cause trouble in his territory!Brady was livid. He needed to vent his anger and assert his dominance.Greg, who was wrapped in plaster and bandages, asked, "Dad, what's going on?""A little punk had the nerve to hit Paramount Group's Mr. Cowper. I'm going to handle it," Brady replied."Dad, I want to come too!" Greg shouted.Brady frowned but then nodded. "Alright, come along."Before long, Brady and Greg left the hospital and got into the car. A convoy of over ten black Mercedes lined up and headed toward the Golden Glo
"What?" Penelope shouted, furious. However, she could only reluctantly agree. "Fine. But you must keep your word."Just as she finished speaking, Sebastian said, "Don't worry. As long as I'm here, you won't need to trade your body for my safety."Then, Sebastian put down his chopsticks and said, "Brady, it seems the last lesson wasn't enough for you."Upon hearing this, Greg was furious and shouted, "You little punk! What did you say? How dare you call my dad by his name? Do you want to die?"Greg rushed forward, raising his hand to slap Sebastian. But Sebastian swiftly grabbed him by the back of his neck and slammed his face onto the table. With a loud thud, Greg's recently surgically repaired nose broke again, his blood spurting out."Ahh! My nose, my nose! You bastard…"Greg screamed in rage and looked up at Sebastian. But in the next second, as if he had seen a ghost, he fell to his knees with a thud."It's… it's you…" Greg stammered, trembling.Sebastian chuckled.Seein
George sneered. "What a joke! I want to see who dares to fire me tonight!"Sebastian smirked and sat down calmly.Penelope's eyes were filled with worry and anxiety. She whispered, "Mr. Ballard, are you serious?""Don't worry. I know what I'm doing," Sebastian replied coolly.George stared lecherously at Penelope while licking his lips. "Ms. Cain, you'd better prepare yourself to spend the night with me.""You disgusting pig! Over my dead body!" Penelope snapped back.George's face darkened, and he snorted. "Very welL. Soon enough, I'll make you beg for mercy!"Time ticked by.With just a few minutes left, George sneered. "Kid, the five minutes are almost up! Why haven't I received any notice about my firing?"He laughed wildly and instructed his assistant, "Open the window. I want to see this punk jump off the building!""Yes, sir." The assistant quickly opened the window, and a strong wind blew in.Penelope was frightened, and she clung to Sebastian's arm. "Mr. Ballard, wh
