"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
Glaring at Sebastian, Lester mocked him viciously. "You brat, you actually called for help? Let's see which bastard would dare to help you!" Sebastion chuckled and shook his head. Lester was so ignorant! His attitude annoyed Lily and the others. "You cocky bastard, how dare you still put up an act when you're at death's door? You better kneel and apologize to Mr. Shaw now. If not, you'd get killed before you even know it," Lily said. Lindsay chimed in, "That's right! Penelope, tell this dumb friend of yours to give up. You couldn't afford to offend Mr. Shaw!" "Penelope, I didn't want to lecture you. We invited you here, but you ended up bringing such a brainless man along with you. If I were you, I would've cut him off. I'd take Mr. Shaw's side now and apologize to him." Hearing those words, Penelope thought it over. She then said with a serious tone, "I won't leave my friend behind! Even if something happens to us, I'll bear the consequences with him!" Lily was disappo
Lester led his army of men and walked toward the entrance. Tiffany shot a few glares at Sebastian in disdain. She snickered and said, "We'll see how much longer you're going to put up an act, loser!" "Penelope, you shouldn't defend a friend like that. Hurry up and think of some ways to apologize to Mr. Shaw," Lily advised, shaking her head helplessly before following Lester. Penelope looked anxious. However, Sebastian was calm beside her. "Let's go outside and have a look." "Huh? But…" Penelope was a little worried. Sebastian smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's alright." "Okay then." Penelope nodded. She got up and followed Sebastian out of the pub. At that moment, Lester brought his hundred men with him as they strode out of the pub arrogantly. But when they saw what was going on in front of them, they were petrified. Before their eyes, the whole street was packed with men in black suits. It was endless. There were at least ten thousand men! "What, what's going on?
"My name is Reggie Joston. I'm the leader of Swordfyre Hall in the Wind Dancers. Greetings, Mr. Anton!" Reggie bowed slightly to Anton, and he spoke confidently.The leader of Swordfyre Hall?Anton was secretly surprised. It appeared that he had misunderstood the Wind Dancers. Although Reggie was young, Swordfyre Hall was renowned throughout Boren.He had only made a call, but the Wind Dancers had sent someone who was a leader. Not only that, Reggie was the lead apprentice of the Wind Dancers' sect leader. They were showing the Wentworths plenty of respect.At that thought, Anton smiled quickly and said, "Please sit down, Reggie!"As he spoke, he waved a hand at the butler, gesturing for him to go and prepare tea. Once Reggie was seated, he asked in surprise, "Who would dare to bully the Wentworths when you have such a vast fortune? The messenger told me that you've been provoked by a young man named Sebastian Ballard?"Anton nodded angrily. Although the Lynches were nothing
Seeing the determination on Sebastian's face, Nina had no choice but to nod and say, "Yes. I will do as you say. However, please allow me to go with you to the entrance of Mount Quiln tomorrow morning before I return to Steinberg, my lord!"Sebastian thought for a moment before he nodded and said, "Alright!"Nina squeezed out a smile when Sebastian gave his permission.After all, she had entered Mount Quiln with Sebastian before. She knew that it was very dangerous on that mountain. Even with Duo as his companion, Sebastian was sure to come across many obstacles on his journey!At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Nina opened it, and when she saw who it was, she informed Sebastian, "My lord, it's Joaquin.""Let him in," Sebastian said impassively. Joaquin walked into Sebastian's room and put on a wide smile as he said ingratiatingly, "Mr. Ballard, you mentioned that you'll be going into the mountains early tomorrow morning. Do you need me to send Mr. Gabbard and the ot
Sebastian crooked a finger at Jayden, who had gone out of his mind with fear. He was both sobbing and laughing as he went up to Sebastian.Sebastian slapped him.Jayden jolted with the shock, and blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth."Mr. Ballard, I was wrong! Please have mercy on me. After all, I didn't make any major mistakes!" Jayden said, falling to his knees.He didn't want his flesh sliced off until he was a mere skeleton, which was what had happened to Kayden."That slap is a lesson to you. Why can't you just do business properly?" Sebastian asked, frowning slightly."I'll remember this! From now on, I'm going to turn over a new leaf!"Sebastian looked down at Jayden, then waved a hand at him. After all, Jayden hadn't committed any major crimes and didn't deserve to die.Jayden thanked Sebastian profusely before fleeing from the Aequor.Joaquin glanced at Brayden and Darla and said coldly, "Inspector Jefferson, aren't you going to thank Mr. Ballard for not kill
Javier fell with a thump onto the floor. He stared dazedly as Kayden was tied to a long bench with a rope."Bring in the family members of the victim. Who from the law enforcement hall will carry out the punishment?" Sebastian demanded.He pulled out a silver needle and pierced one of Kayden's acupuncture points, which would make him more alert.When a man in a wheelchair was pushed into the hall by a young woman who looked very frail, Sebastian stood up quickly.He said to the young man, "Kayden is the reason your family's fallen apart. We'll torture him to death very soon.""That asshole! He deserves to be slashed a million times!" the young man yelled at Kayden, clenching his fists tightly."Don't get agitated. He won't die before he gets cut 7,000 times. Although you don't have the right to carry out the execution, you can splash salt water over his wounds!"Sebastian took a bucket from one of the law enforcement hall apprentices and placed it in front of the young man."Se
At least that man had not had to grovel to the perpetrators to thank them. Not only did Brayden have to grovel to the law enforcement hall men, he even had to thank them!After about four hours, when Kayden had pulled up his pants, he went over to Brayden and said in a slightly ashamed tone, "Inspector Jefferson, I… I had no choice!"He sounded as if he was completely innocent.Brayden wanted to murder him. Just a minute earlier, when Joaquin had called out his name, he had been shaking with excitement. He had even forgotten about the pain of having his crotch injured and lunged toward Darla like a hungry wolf. Now, he was standing in front of Brayden, acting innocent?Brayden had only gotten into this state because of Kayden!After sending away all the reporters, Joaquin sent a message to Sebastian. In less than ten minutes, Sebastian sauntered back into the restaurant. He glanced at Darla, who was lying on the floor with a vacant look in her eyes. Sebastian patted Brayden's sh
If the incident was broadcast, it would be sure to cause an uproar, and Boren would become the center of the storm.However, Sebastian had made up his mind, and Joaquin didn't dare to try and dissuade him. He had no choice but to do as Sebastian had commanded and call over the news teams from all three states' television stations.Since the head director of a state was calling them personally, none of them dared to refuse. In less than two hours, the news teams from all three state television stations had arrived and were in position."What news are we broadcasting today, Mr. Ballard?" a female reporter asked Sebastian.She had seen how messy the place was, and there didn't seem to be anything for them to report about."Later, these people are going to help a family improve the gene pool, and I need you to broadcast the entire process live. Before you do, please play a recording of a phone call from Inspector Jefferson," Sebastian said. He sent the recording of the phone call
"Kneel!" Sebastian suddenly yelled.Brayden yelped with fear and fell to his knees."Sebastian, I… I'm a tristate inspector of the Martial Arts Court!"At that point, Brayden's final hope was his authority and position. He didn't want to die, and he especially didn't want to die for no reason.He just wanted to win favor with the ancestral being of the Berkeleys and get some tips on how to get a longer life."Call your wife! I'll give you two hours. If she doesn't come, you'll be tortured to death as well. I can tell you clearly that I'm a doctor, and I have ways to keep you alive until you get slashed 3,600 times with a knife!" Sebastian said icily."I…"Brayden trembled as he pulled out his phone. His mind had gone blank, and it took him a long time to find his wife's phone number. Her name was Darla Wyllis. "Hello? Honey? A handbag caught my eye today, but that stupid store actually refused to give it to me for free! It's a lousy handbag that only costs about 500 thousand d
Jayden had only gone a few steps, but he had no choice but to stop. He turned and grimaced at the Berkeleys and Brayden, who were all looking in his direction.He was filled with regret. He should have made his escape earlier instead of coming back with Brayden. Egbert and Yorrick were clearly fools. One of them had maimed himself and ended up vomiting blood relentlessly, while the other stood there like an idiot for Sebastian to slap him. He would be surprised if either of them could defeat Sebastian.As everyone was watching him, Jayden had no choice but to return to his previous spot. He looked nervously at Yorrick, praying inwardly that the old man would somehow get more skilled. He couldn't let Sebastian screw him over!"This is the last slap, old man. Do you still have any feeling in your face?" Sebastian asked, raising his palm."Damn you!" Yorrick swore violently. However, one of his front teeth had been knocked out earlier when he was slapped, and air escaped noisily t
The entire left side of Yorrick's face had become so numb that he couldn't feel a thing."Young man, just now you already hit me—""I only slapped you once!" Sebastian interrupted, holding up a finger.Yorrick spat and said, "How could one slap have made so many noises?"Sebastian replied innocently, "Everyone here can testify that I only hit you once, and I did it very slowly too. You all saw it, didn't you?"The onlookers nodded quickly, especially the experts from the law enforcement hall. They still couldn't figure out how an expert at Yorrick's level could have been sent flying through the air by a weak slap like that from Sebastian.What puzzled them the most was that Yorrick had clearly landed in a very safe spot. Why had he insisted on rolling into a pile of broken glass and gotten such a gaping wound on his face?"Fine!" Yorrick clenched his teeth and suppressed the pain in the right side of his face. "There are still two moves left!" he said viciously."Will you com
