Lester instantly froze. Jerking his head around, he looked at Hans, who had a gloomy look on his face. He asked, "Mr. Wagner, what did you mean by that?" Hans raised his hand and sent a slap across Lester's face, causing him to spit blood. "He's the important man I was talking about!" Hans bellowed. His words instantly terrified Lester, and his face paled. Lily and the others were shocked too. What was going on? Who was that important man again whom even Hans had to show respect to? Without waiting for them to react, Hans had already dashed up to Sebastian and lowered his head. "Mr. Ballard, my men are all here. You can give us your orders anytime." Sebastian nodded. The sight immediately threw Lester and the others off guard. It was over for them! Totally over! Was that punk actually the important man Hans was waiting for? Lester's face was as white as a sheet, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He then remembered that Hans said there was an idiot who had offende
Sebastian gave Hans a few instructions before sending Penelope back. Before they parted ways at the residential gate, Penelope watched Sebastian with adoring eyes as he entered his car and left. The flower of love had then bloomed in her heart. But Sebastian was oblivious to it. Not long after he woke up the next day, Whitney rushed over to the convenience store. Without thinking twice, she pulled at him and yelled, "Hurry, you have to come with me." "Where to?" Sebastian was dumbfounded. What was Whitney talking about? Why was she in such a rush? "My aunt fell sick. Nobody could figure out the cause. I'm bringing you there to help them out," Whitney said anxiously. She dragged Sebastian into the car. Frowning, Sebastian said, "You're asking me to see a patient? Ms. Sutton, I thought you never believed that I have medical skills." Whitney rolled her eyes at him. "Alright, this is an emergency. It was all my fault, okay?" Sebastian shrugged and followed her. Whitney
Sally was furious at the sight of Sebastian's face. She thought Sebastian was a good-for-nothing, lazy man.She had already hated Sebastian back then, so she always urged Whitney to divorce him."I heard that you and Whitney have divorced. That's good news," Sally said. Then, she added, "It's great that you know your place. But you don't need to treat me. What can a good-for-nothing do?"Sally didn't understand why Whitney would ask Sebastian to treat her.Whitney quickly explained, "Aunt Sally, Sebastian is a medical practitioner. Let him help you."Shannon rushed up and shouted before allowing Sally to speak. "No! Does he even know anything? What if he makes it worse for my mother?"Shannon looked down on Sebastian. Plus, the accident caused her to stay locked up for two days, so she hated Sebastian even more.She thought, "Let him treat Mom? Keep dreaming!"Crystal also rolled her eyes at Whitney. "Winnie, what are you doing? I thought you hired an expert or something. Why w
Shannon snorted by the side. "Mom, don't ask like that. He clearly doesn't know shit. So many experts from the hospitals can't even identify your illness, let alone him.""I think the same." Dante laughed. "Sebastian, if you can't identify anything, just let me know. Don't waste any more time here. I'll ask another doctor to come."Whitney looked at Sebastian nervously. "Did you identify anything? What's Aunt Sally's illness?"Sebastian frowned and exhaled. "She is indeed sick.""Are you for real now? No shit, Sherlock!" Dante shouted.Sally glared at Sebastian. "Spit it out!"Sebastian chuckled. "You're quite ill, it seems."His words made everyone frown. Did he really find out something?"What is it? Just say it!" Shannon complained.Sebastian gave Shannon a sideway glance and said, "You're gonna lose your mother soon."Huh? What did he mean?Shannon was stunned, and she stared at him in shock. "What do you mean?"Whitney quickly understood, and her face changed.Sebasti
"Leave! Get out of here!" Sally was infuriated and kicked Sebastian out.Sebastian shrugged while Whitney pulled him away. She said apologetically to him, "Sorry, you know how she is.""I do." Sebastian smiled faintly. He knew Sally's character well—she was a shrew and malicious. "But you said that Aunt Sally won't be able to survive the night. Is it real?" Whitney asked in concern. "Don't scare them."Sebastian chuckled and asked, "Do you think I am joking?""You're serious? Aunt Sally is really going to die?" Whitney instantly panicked.Sebastian nodded. "If I'm not mistaken, yes.""What should we do?" Whitney was anxious.Sebastian shrugged. "Fate has its way of affecting us. Her survival depends on whether she wants to ask for my help."Without waiting for her to speak, Sebastian added, "I'm leaving. I have something to do."He soon returned to the convenience store, where he saw Rosalie.Rosalie looked extra cute that day. She didn't put on her usual career-woman outfi
Unexpectedly, he had returned.The Alpha Strike Force was the most special unit in Dramon, specifically responsible for the most challenging tasks.Klaus Hindon smiled with his eyes full of affection for Rosalie. "My five years of training are over. This time, I came back just for you.""Captain Hindon is the captain of Alpha Strike Force Team 13. He could've taken a position at the Janover division, but when he heard that you're in Steinberg, he requested a transfer here. Ms. Griffin, the Captain is truly sincere about you."The speaker was a young man behind Klaus, looking to be about 25. As he spoke, his eyes were full of pride and arrogance. He was Klaus' deputy, Conrad Beck, and also his follower.Conrad continued with a superior tone, "Ms. Griffin, Captain Hindon often talks about you. During training, he even got into a fight with the drill instructor over your photo!"Besides, over the years, many women pursued him, but he turned them all down. He has made it clear that y
"That's enough! Conrad, stop it!" Klaus' face darkened, but he took a deep breath and turned to Sebastian. After a moment, he said, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Klaus, Rosalie's childhood friend. My feelings for her are unshakable. No one can take her away from me.""Klaus, that's enough. These words are meaningless. I see you as a brother and nothing more." Rosalie frowned, discontent evident in her voice.But Klaus ignored her words. He looked at Sebastian with a sharp glint in his eyes and said coldly, "I've been observing you since earlier."I can tell you're just an ordinary guy and not even one percent as outstanding as I am. A man like you is not worthy of Rosalie and can never bring her happiness. I suggest you leave her as soon as possible."Sebastian chuckled at his words. With a mocking gaze, he replied, "Captain Hindon, right? Do you think you're really outstanding? Because frankly, you seem quite ordinary to me."You're just riding on your family's coattails, which
"If you kneel and beg for mercy now, you might still have a chance. But if you wait until I make a move, you'll be stuck in a hospital bed for years." Conrad sneered menacingly.Rosalie's face hardened with anger at the sight. "Klaus, what are you doing? If you dare lay a hand on Sebastian, I will never forgive you!"She stepped forward and stood protectively in front of Sebastian. Klaus had been training with the Alpha Strike Force for five years, honing his skills to a formidable level. His right-hand man undoubtedly was also very capable. Rosalie couldn't bear the thought of Sebastian getting hurt."Rosalie, I'll show you that this guy isn't worth your affection," Klaus replied coldly. "If he can't even beat my right-hand man, how can he protect you? Conrad, take him down!"At his command, Conrad lunged forward with a powerful charge toward Sebastian. This move was proven unstoppable within the Alpha Strike Force, and it defeated numerous members.Seeing Conrad's confident
"What is your name, sir?" the bodyguard in the lead asked, smiling as he handed Sebastian a cigarette."Sebastian Ballard." As there was a child in the car and the windows were all closed, Sebastian waved the cigarette away."I've never heard of you before!" The bodyguard gave him a name card and said, "My name is Daxton Haddock!"Sebastian took the name card and smiled at Daxton. "I'm not from Boren. I just came here for a trip to Mount Quiln."Daxton was startled. Although the area around Mount Quiln was a popular tourist area, strange things had been happening there continuously since autumn the year before. No one had come there for a holiday for more than half a year."Mr. Ballard, are you confident of being able to save Ms. Candy?" Daxton asked rather worriedly. After all, even Solomon had said that there was no cure for a condition like hers. Sebastian was a young man in his 20s who looked very confident. It was hard not to be doubtful.Sebastian shook his head slightl
Solomon became agitated when he heard that Sebastian wanted to go to the abandoned mine. He tried to dissuade him. "You must not put yourself in danger, my young friend. Even others would have run into ghosts if they didn't heed warnings."The young man glanced at Solomon and said, "Dr. Jackman, they all say that you're a kind-hearted person. Why are you stopping others from trying to save Ms. Candy when you refuse to do so yourself?"Solomon turned red and sighed. "There was a huge mining accident there 30 years ago, and it's always been tainted with evil. To tell you the truth, my younger brother also didn't heed the warnings and—"Tears slid down Solomon's cheeks. Solomon's younger brother had endangered himself ten years ago to try and cure someone's illness. However, he had been carried back on a stretcher three days after that.He had been in the same state as the little girl and Candy. His eyes had been vacant, and he had neither eaten nor drunk nor slept. After just three
"Yes, we have. Mrs. Wilham from our village is a medium, but she says that she can't cure this child and asked us to look for someone else," the middle-aged woman said and started crying again."What else did she say?" Sebastian asked, bending down to look carefully at the little girl.The middle-aged woman hesitated for a long time before she stuttered, "Actually… Mrs. Wilham says that t-there's no hope for our child anymore! She can only live three more days at most!"Before the middle-aged woman could finish speaking, there was a screech of brakes outside the door. Right after that, there was the sound of hurried footsteps, and over a dozen young men in suits barged in."Which of you is Dr. Solomon Jackman?" the young man in the lead yelled urgently.Solomon answered quickly, "It's me!"The young man waved quickly at the people behind him and said, "Hurry!"Soon, a young woman who was about 20 years old was carried inside.The young woman was pretty, and she was wearing clo
The two apothecaries immediately tossed their brooms aside. One helped the middle-aged woman to open the door while the other took the child from her arms."Time to see a patient, Dr. Larsen!" one of the apothecaries called out to an old doctor as he carried the child inside.The old doctor pushed his glasses up his nose and eyed the mother and daughter. He walked slowly over to the consultation table and sat down."Don't worry, ma'am. What's wrong with the child?" the doctor, Ellis Larsen, asked the middle-aged woman. At that moment, Sebastian and Unus walked into Townsend Clinic together. On the way there, Sebastian had remained focused on the little girl because the look in her eyes was highly abnormal. "Doctor, I don't know what's happened to her. She hasn't eaten or drunk anything since last night, and she doesn't say a word no matter what I ask her. All she does is to stare vacantly into space!" the middle-aged woman said tearfully to Ellis. Ellis couldn't help drawing i
Javier had gone to Sunway for a meeting and was not in Acorn City. Whatever the old man said would be representative of Javier. "Mr. Gabbard, we can't let him go!""Yes, Mr. Gabbard. He's caused such a fuss at the Martial Arts Court that he should at least get both legs broken before we can let him go!""Besides, he injured Mr. Lynch! How will we explain to Mr. Berkeley when he gets back?"A few of the younger deacons protested. "I've already said that these two gentlemen may leave. Anyone who tries to stop them will be executed without mercy!" Cohen Gabbard was furious. Didn't these idiots know how to read the room? Did they have to carry out flattery no matter what the situation was?Didn't they know who the minced meat all over the floor belonged to? Who else could they be except the missing deacons?No matter how they had done it, someone who was able to smash a living person into mincemeat must be extremely powerful indeed. Even if they tried to tie Sebastian and Un
There was a dull thwack. The deacon in the lead didn't even have time to turn and escape before he was squashed into mincemeat by a single punch from Unus. Gleaming blood and flesh scattered everywhere. The rest of them tried to escape when they saw what had happened, but their speed couldn't compare to that of Unus. Before they could get to the door, Unus' fist had already reached them.There was a series of thumps as four or five deacons were all crushed. Blood and lumps of flesh fell all over the floor. The smell of blood hung heavily in the interrogation room.Jayden and Bryson cowered in a corner, trembling.Unus couldn't be human! How could it have reduced a live person to mincemeat with just one punch?As Jayden and Bryson looked on, Unus walked up to Sebastian expressionlessly. He raised his hand and tugged lightly on the chains that bound Sebastian tightly. They immediately broke into numerous pieces.Sebastian stood up and stretched before walking in Colton's directi
"Mr. Lynch! Are you alright?" The deacons surrounded Colton at once.Colton had been very unlucky that day. Not only had Sebastian beaten him half to death, but he had even been injured in the head once again by him, even though Sebastian was chained. When Colton noticed how much he was bleeding, he lost it completely. "Kill him!" he roared in fury, looking crazed. The deacons exchanged looks. They knew how skillful Bryson was. However, Bryson was unable to stand against Sebastian, and it made the deacons even more afraid to move forward.Although Colton was the heir of the Lynch family, it wouldn't be worth getting their arms and legs broken by Sebastian just to flatter him. "Go and get him, damn it! I'll give you money! Each person will get one million. Beat him to death!"Colton was very agitated. He yelled at the top of his voice at Sebastian while pointing at him with his crutch. As the saying went, there would always be a hero when there was a big reward. Upon hearin
A faintly murderous light flashed in Sebastian's eyes, and the deacons felt a chilling murderous energy. The deacon who had been pointing at Sebastian with a steel rod couldn't help stepping backward. He took a long time to recover. Sebastian was bound tightly in chains that were as thick as a man's thumb, and he had been cuffed to the steel chair. There was no way that he could fight back at all.The deacon felt annoyed at being scared by someone in that state, and he pointed at Sebastian with his steel rod again and shouted, "You must be tired of living, you brat! How dare you say Mr. Wentworth's name?""Even Joaquin wouldn't dare to speak to me in that manner," Sebastian said calmly.If Joaquin knew that Sebastian had been arrested by deacons from the Mount Acorn Martial Arts Court, he would kill them all without hesitation!"You're very arrogant! Mr. Lynch specifically mentioned this object. I'll give you five thousand dollars, and you can send it to him. Do you have any obje
"You said that Mr. Lynch wanted to take something that belonged to you. Where is the object?" the deacon in the lead asked, sneering. Sebastian pointed at his shirt pocket and said, "Here!" The deacon pulled out the emerald buckle from Sebastian's pocket. He weighed it in his hand and waved at the other deacons, saying, "Take him away!"When Jayden saw that Sebastian had been marched off by deacons from the Martial Arts Court, he called an ambulance for Colton. Luckily, Colton was from an elite martial arts family. Despite being spoiled, he had at least trained in martial arts, which was why he wasn't as frail as an ordinary person would be. Otherwise, he would have succumbed to his injuries long ago.Bryson and the others were also carried into the ambulance by the medical staff. Solomon sighed as he watched Sebastian leave. Although the Martial Arts Court appeared to be upholding the law, they were actually in cahoots with the Lynches. Now that Sebastian had been taken by t
