Janet looked at the man next to her and asked anxiously, "What should we do, Mr. Lloyd?" Oscar Lloyd's expression darkened. He smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Ms. Janet! I'm here!"Oscar took two steps forward and removed his shirt, revealing strong muscles. He exuded a strong sense of power as he said coldly, "Okay, I underestimated you. I didn't think you'd be this powerful!"I'll personally fight against you, and we'll see how strong you are!" Oscar took a deep breath and stepped into a fighting stance.A terrifying energy enveloped him. Even the ground beneath his feet was stirred up into eddies of intense energy. Sebastian frowned. A physique refiner?He hadn't expected Oscar to be a physique refiner.Physique refining was a very severe, difficult path. It was a hundred times more difficult than the path of an ordinary warrior or even a Sage. People like Oscar relied solely on their own strength and didn't use any external help. "Take that!" Oscar roared. He
Janet shuddered in fear as she watched Sebastian walking toward her with an icy expression.She had assumed that Sebastian was just a self-proclaimed doctor. But it appeared she was wrong. Sebastian was also a very accomplished warrior!"W-What are you trying to do? I'm telling you! I'm the heiress of the Sunway Connollys!" Janet shrieked rather weakly. Her eyes were filled with terror. Without warning, Sebastian slapped her. He hit Janet so hard that she stumbled to the floor, blood dripping from her mouth. Janet turned and howled at him in anger. "You dare—"Sebastian slapped her again.This time, Janet burst into tears from sheer fright.Her father, who was in a wheelchair, spoke up in anger. "Hey, young man. You injured my daughter and so many of our people from Steinberg Black Tiger Academy. You even killed Oscar. Isn't that enough?"Mike Connolly had stayed silent the entire time since he was severely ill. However, he immediately flared up when he saw Sebastian hittin
"You've even lost half your martial arts training," Sebastian said. Upon hearing his words, Mike indicated for Janet to turn. He stared at Sebastian and cried out, "How did you know?"He hadn't expected Sebastian to be able to tell how bad his condition was with just one look.Sebastian said impassively, "I'm not going to tell you how I know. Besides, if I'm guessing correctly, it was Charles Leyton who told you to come, wasn't it?"Mike was startled. He had told Janet to bring him there because Charles had recommended it.He had seen more than 100 renowned doctors since getting injured, but no one was able to cure him. After hearing that a miracle doctor had cured Reginald, he visited Charles, who had told him about Sebastian.That was why he had instructed Janet to bring him to Steinberg. It was a pity that Janet's wilfulness had caused such trouble."Go home. I'm not going to treat your injuries," Sebastian said coldly. He continued, "Unless your daughter pays for everythi
Sebastian immediately called her and asked, "What is it?"Penelope hemmed and hawed for a while before saying, "I would like you to attend a gathering with me.""A gathering? What kind of gathering?" Sebastian asked in confusion.Penelope said awkwardly, "Just a gathering with a few friends… Forget it if you're busy, Mr. Ballard."She was ready to hang up.Sebastian thought it over for a moment. Since he didn't have anything else on, he said, "Alright. Send me the address."He had appointed her as the general manager, so he should show some concern for her, right? "Really? Thanks, Mr. Ballard! Let's meet at the entrance to the office at 6:00 pm. I'll drive you over to the place," Penelope said excitedly.Sebastian chuckled. "Alright."After hanging up, he sat down in the front hall and began studying the Sky Devouring Bottle once more.…At around 6:00 pm, Sebastian took a cab to the office. He had just reached the entrance when he spotted Penelope.She was wearing a red dr
There were about four or five young, fashionable women seated around the crescent-shaped table. Their long legs were very eye-catching, drawing the attention of many men around them.After sitting down, Penelope began introducing them to Sebastian. "This is Lily Somerby, one of my best friends. She went abroad a couple of years ago. And these are my old classmates, Tiffany Halding, Lindsay Sullivan, and Phoebe Green. Sebastian nodded at them in greeting. "This is… my friend, Sebastian Ballard." After a moment's consideration, Penelope didn't introduce Sebastian as her boss.Out of politeness, Sebastian held out his hand and said, "Hello, I'm Sebastian. It's a pleasure to meet all of you."However, Tiffany, who was closest to Sebastian, only looked him up and down. She ignored his outstretched hand and scowled, looking disappointed."Hello." Tiffany greeted him shortly.Lindsay said casually, "I'm Lindsay."After that, she didn't look at him and whispered something to Tiffany
Sebastian's expression turned very grim. "Foreigners aren't as good as you think they are," Sebastian said coldly. Tiffany laughed contemptuously and said, "Hey, Ballard, you'd better shut up. We know you're jealous. But what can you do? You jerks just aren't as tall and strong as they are. You'd better pray that you get reincarnated into a better body in your next life." Lindsay and Phoebe laughed raucously, looking disdainful. Sebastian frowned. He was about to lose his temper when Penelope tugged at his hand and shook her head. "Forget it. Don't get angry at them." Sebastian exhaled deeply, suppressing his anger for Penelope's sake. Tiffany laughed coldly when she noticed that he wasn't retaliating. "You're such a loser! You won't even fight back when you're insulted!"Lily tried to gloss things over. "Alright, alright. Since Penelope brought him here, we should be nice. Now, look at the time. Mr. Shaw should be here soon."Tiffany looked excited and said, "Mr. Shaw? H
"What are you afraid of? I'm here, aren't I? I don't care who he is. We'll just sit wherever we want to," Sebastian said calmly. He hated people who used their positions to order others around.His words provoked Lester to anger at once, and he looked furious."You're a cocky punk, aren't you? Do you know who I am?" Lester asked coldly, eyeing Sebastian angrily. The subordinates behind him immediately surged up to them and blocked Sebastian's path.Lily and the others stood back to watch, looking contemptuous. "What an idiot. How dare he try to stand up to Mr. Shaw? He has zero self-awareness!" Tiffany snorted, looking scornful.She wanted Lester to teach Sebastian a lesson because she was very annoyed with Sebastian. Men like him disgusted her.Lindsay added, "Forget about him. He just wants to act cool in front of Penelope. Just wait. Mr. Shaw will teach him how he should behave.""What a disgusting little man. I have no idea why Penelope would hang around someone like him
There was an immediate uproar.Lester clutched his bleeding head, howling in pain. Meanwhile, Lily and the others were paralyzed with fear.Penelope was equally shocked. She hadn't expected Sebastian to be so aggressive."You punk! How dare you smash a bottle over my head? I'll kill you!" Lester roared. "Get him!"At his command, his subordinates charged angrily at Sebastian.Sebastian wasn't about to back down. He grabbed the bottles on the table and smashed them over their heads one by one.With a series of thumps, Lester's subordinates all fell to the floor. They held their bleeding heads and howled relentlessly.The sight scared the crap out of Tiffany and the others."Damn! Is this asshole crazy? He beat up Lester and his subordinates?""Oh no! We're doomed! Penelope's friend is insane! Isn't he just asking to die?""Hmph! He doesn't know his own strength. How dare he beat Mr. Shaw up? Wait and see, he's definitely going to die tonight!"They looked angrily at Sebastian
In the arena, Jules narrowed his eyes at Sebastian and gritted his teeth. When he got the opportunity later, he had to kill Sebastian!Emil had been a good friend of his for many years, and he had died at Sebastian's hand just a few days ago. Jules had to avenge him."Sebastian, as long as you're willing to go to your knees and apologize, we can persuade Mr. Laurent to forgive you," an official from Southia said to Sebastian, blocking his path.Sebastian glanced at him and said impassively, "Get lost!"The official from Southia hadn't expected Sebastian to insult him. If Sebastian went into the arena today, he would be sure to die. How could he be so conceited at this point?"How dare you insult me?" the official from Southia asked in halting Dramonian. "Well, only humans are worth insulting, and I haven't insulted any," Sebastian answered calmly.The audience roared with laughter."Good on you, Mr. Ballard!""Mr. Ballard is right! These bastards aren't even fit to be called
Blake's subordinates could deal with ordinary Warriors without a problem, but fighting against international experts would be suicide. After a while, Sebastian's phone rang. When he saw that it was Blake, he answered. "Mr. Ballard, I don't think my subordinates are up to it. They can't deal with a situation like that at all," Blake said truthfully."Don't worry, they can just do anything they can think of. I have a way to make them win every battle," Sebastian said, smiling.Lyanna didn't even have to do anything. If they used the Indigo Thunder God tactic, they would be able to freeze the opponents so that they couldn't move. Everything would be solved."Mr. Ballard, I'll send a few more people over then. Do you think that a team of ten would be enough?" Blake asked."Yes. Any number would be fine," Sebastian said, smiling."Alright. I'll send a team of ten. That should be enough."Sebastian assented and hung up.…Early the next morning, the city of Steinberg was abuzz wi
"Lyanna did that for you. Do you understand what she means now?" Nina chortled.Zane looked embarrassed. How could a frail-looking young woman like Lyanna be so powerful? She had managed to release a bolt of energy from his angle without even making a single sound. Even he had thought that he was the one who had done it. "Oh my… I… That seems impossible!" Zane was flabbergasted."Everything is possible. Just go into the arena tomorrow. You might become famous overnight," Lyanna said, smiling.Zane patted his chest, his heart thumping madly with excitement. "You want to use him to get rid of those international experts?" Sebastian frowned slightly.He had understood Lyanna's intention at once. If Sebastian or Nina and the others were the ones who attacked, they would be sure to attract the attention of the international experts.Zane was a nobody, and anyone who had any kind of training could tell that he was a total rookie. Who wouldn't want to defeat a few rookies in the aren
Sapientia apprentices?Phineas still felt worried. Would a few apprentices from Sapientia be enough to face the kind of people that would be coming?He would feel much more confident if all the experts from one of the twelve peaks of Sapientia came. "I hope Sebastian can pull through. Otherwise, the martial arts community is going to be in big trouble!" Phineas said through clenched teeth.Alaric was unconcerned. He was on his own anyway, and he could run at any time if things looked like it would take a turn for the worse.Things were different for Phineas. If the foreign Warriors did wipe out the Steinberg martial arts community, there would be no way out for him as the head director.Even if he ran to Sunway, he would be sentenced to death according to the rules of the martial arts community.…Back in the convenience store, Zane was pouring tea for Sebastian while grinning impishly. He asked, "Sebastian, can I go into the arena tomorrow and try it out too?""You?" Sebasti
Ross and the others all sat down unabashedly in the main seats. When they saw the delicious food on the table, they all looked extremely triumphant.Before long, Alaric was led into the pavilion by a deacon."Mr. Donnelly, please sit. These are the four experts sent by the state Martial Arts Court. This is…" Phineas introduced them one by one.Alaric glanced at them. If these four went into the arena, they would be embarrassing the martial arts community of Dramon! "Didn't Sartvale Martial Arts Court send anyone else?" Alaric asked harshly. Ross' expression flickered slightly. He frowned and said, "They're only a few foreign Warriors. What's there to be afraid of? With the four of us here, I'm sure they won't dare to try anything big."Alaric snorted. The four of them? He could crush those four losers with one hand! "I'm not underestimating you, but… do you know who is coming?" Alaric asked, sneering. Ross and the others looked startled. Alaric clearly didn't respect them.
"Mr. Ballard, let's make sure to remain within our capabilities. Besides, it doesn't seem appropriate for us to kill all of them," Phineas said. He couldn't help shuddering at the thought.Those hundreds of people were the pillars of the martial arts community in each country. If they were all destroyed in Steinberg, it would be sure to cause an international conflict."We need to make them fear and respect us!" Sebastian said impassively.He could close one eye when it came to Dramon's martial arts community, but if the martial arts communities from other countries wanted to interfere, they would be crossing lines. Phineas felt a chill in his heart. He exchanged a few pleasantries with Sebastian before leaving in a hurry. No matter how confident Sebastian was, he had to deliver what Sebastian had just said to Sartvale Martial Arts Court.After all, they had to be prepared. The Dramon martial arts community had to get their defenses ready.…Two days passed in the blink of an e
Watch the battle? Sebastian frowned and asked, "Why are people from other countries coming to watch the battle? Jules isn't from their country."Phineas sighed and asked, "Mr. Ballard, why did General Handon fight against Harqule from Karna back then? It wasn't just because of how cruel they were, but it was also because Harqule and his men invaded Dramon's martial arts community on the pretext of conducting an exchange in martial arts."A thought flashed through Sebastian's mind. Jules had issued the challenge so suddenly. Were the countries who had once bullied Dramon planning to do the same thing again? "Are you saying that Jules has an ulterior motive?" Sebastian turned to look at Phineas."Well, of course. He was part of the overseas Dragon Sect to begin with. Besides, according to the information I've received, Yutaria, Averne, and Karna are all sending interview teams. Interview teams, Mr. Ballard? Isn't that ridiculous?" There were 200 or more people in a single interv
That afternoon, several martial arts apprentices were executed by the Steinberg Martial Arts Court. All the news outlets in Steinberg began reporting widely about the news.Sebastian was rather surprised when he saw the news report on television. He hadn't expected Phineas to be able to carry it out so quickly."Sebastian, that Tuxley guy really is obedient, isn't he?" Zane asked, sounding rather puzzled. "You think he's being obedient? They're just scared of Jules. Don't you get it?" Sebastian smiled slightly. After the martial arts apprentices were executed right on the street, it caused an uproar in Steinberg's martial arts community. Those who had completely dismissed Phineas in the past finally realized how ruthless he could be. They began being stricter on their own apprentices so that they wouldn't step on the toes of the Martial Arts Court. In less than a day, no one in martial arts training clothes could be seen on the streets, even though they had been everywhere in
Phineas understood Alaric's intention. He wanted to leave a few of these people and only hand over those who were not as skilled or who had only entered the sect for a shorter period of time. However, that wouldn't work. Phineas shook his head quickly and said, "Mr. Donnelly, if Sebastian is doing his own preparations, we'll be going back on our word by doing that. We can't let these people go."Alaric took a deep breath and said, "Alright. However, let them enjoy themselves in the club for the next two days. We can hand them over on the third day. That'll work, won't it?"Phineas shook his head and said, "I don't think three days will do. Jules will be in Steinberg by then. That means we only have one day. I'll come and get them in the morning the day after tomorrow."He would need time to prepare an arena. Besides, they knew who Jules was.He was a renowned figure in the Southia martial arts community. If he was coming to Dramon to issue a challenge, the media from Southia woul
