Sebastian frowned and looked at the arrogant Shannon with displeasure."Is this how you ask for help?" he asked coldly."What do you mean? I'm already here to see you in person. Don't be so petty. Let's just go save my mom!" Shannon replied proudly. Sebastian chuckled. "Sorry, I've made myself clear that you need to kneel and beg me if you want my help.""Fuck! Sebastian, do you even hear yourself? Do you think you're so amazing that I have to kneel and beg you?" Shannon complained angrily.Whitney entered the store and pulled Shannon, glaring at her in the process. "Shannon, you'd better mind your manners," she warned. "You're asking for help now.""This is just how I am!" Shannon groaned.Whitney looked at Sebastian and asked helplessly, "Sebastian, can you treat Aunt Sally for my sake?""No," Sebastian rejected.Whitney didn't know what to do and could just look back at Shannon.Noticing her gaze, Shannon said, "Don't look at me. I won't kneel and beg. It's already nice e
"Oh yeah, you probably don't know me," Jay said. "I'm a genius doctor from Uruxand. I'm 35 this year, and I have a PhD. "I've published many journal articles and received many acknowledgments from many institutions. A local medical institution has also offered me an annual salary of five million."He looked at Sebastian arrogantly and mockingly asked, "I wonder what degree you hold, how many papers you've published, which medical institution you currently work for, and what your annual salary is?"Sebastian frowned at Jay's inquiry and retorted, "I don't hold any degrees, nor have I published papers, and I'm not affiliated with any medical institution. Does that satisfy your curiosity?"Jay's response was a contemptuous sneer. "So, you're just some country doctor? And yet, you dare to intervene in cases I've deemed hopeless?"Uninterested in Jay's arrogance, Sebastian moved forward to examine Sally's condition. With determination, he withdrew a set of silver needles and was ready
Sebastian flashed a slight grin before turning his gaze toward Sally, who lay unconscious on the hospital bed. With a quick flick of his wrist, he inserted silver needles into more than a dozen key acupuncture points on her body.Meanwhile, Jay was wearing an expression of disdain. He muttered, "What an ignorant punk, how dare he look down on me! Let's see what he's made of!"Jay seethed inwardly at Sebastian's audacity. Yet, as he observed Sebastian's acupuncture skills, his expression shifted dramatically. "Leofric Acupuncture?" he exclaimed inwardly, his disbelief evident. "How is he employing such a technique?"Jay questioned Sebastian's utilization of the legendary Leofric Acupuncture, and his eyes widened in shock. Doubt clouded his mind, but after scrutinizing several more needles, his astonishment only deepened.Indeed, Sebastian was executing the renowned Leofric Acupuncture. Jay was left dumbfounded, struggling to comprehend what he was witnessing.Then, as if stru
"What? Such an arrogant man exists? This is interesting." Triston chuckled mockingly, and his eyes were filled with disdain."Dr. Smolder, the most important thing is that he said the Leofric Acupuncture you taught me isn't accurate. He even used it in front of me and changed some of the needle positions." The more Jay spoke, the angrier he became.Triston's face darkened at his words. He replied angrily, "What? He tried to use Leofric Acupuncture and even changed a few needle positions?""Yes. Dr. Smolder, come here quickly," Jay said.Triston was so mad that he shouted, "Alright, I'll be there in no time. I'd like to meet this arrogant young man who dares to learn my family's technique. How dare he change something in it? Hmph!"After hanging up, Triston got into the car and told the driver, "Go to Tranquil Hospital. I'd like to meet that arrogant young man!"Meanwhile, in the ward, Sally woke up. Shannon grabbed her arms and cried. "Mom, are you okay?"Sally answered weakly
Triston glared at Sebastian angrily. For a split second, he noticed that Sebastian kind of looked like a person he used to know, and his facial expression shifted for a moment.However, the feeling subsided."Young man, so you were the one who said my techniques for Leofric Acupuncture are wrong?" Triston asked in a low voice.At this moment, both Shannon and Whitney were already very shocked. They didn't expect to see Triston Smolder, who had always appeared on television. He was one of the pioneers of traditional medicine in Dramon and one of the distant descendants of Leofric!He was the representative of the Smolder family, the genius doctor, Triston Smolder. He had cured many patients with weird diseases, and he was very sought after by influential people.His name was extremely well-known in the entire country. His words held so much value and importance, as if he could determine a person's life or death.Even the Abyss Sovereign might not dare to take someone from Tristo
Sebastian laughed mockingly at his demands. Jay asked angrily, "What are you laughing at?""How dare he laugh this way in front of Mr. Smolder. He's basically mocking him!" Jay thought. Sebastian shook his head and said coldly, "The Smolder family is just mediocre. Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you have some influence in Dramon's traditional medicine field?"Triston, have you forgotten how you knelt in front of me four years ago, asking me to be your mentor?"The moment Sebastian said those words, everyone in the room was stunned, and they all widened their eyes in shock.What did he mean by that?Sally and Shannon gave each other a look. Then, Sally quickly said, "Dr. Smolder, t-this has nothing to do with us. He's the one who said it…""Sebastian, have you gone mad? Who gave you the guts to say such words? Are you trying to get us involved?" Shannon roared.Whitney was also extremely shocked. She quickly pulled the corners of Sebastian's clothes an
Grand mentor? What?Jay's expression changed, and he stared at Sebastian with wide eyes.What was going on? When Triston noticed Jay was still in a daze, he got up and slapped him. "What are you waiting for? Kneel!"Of course, Jay didn't dare to say anything. He knelt with a thud and said unwillingly to Sebastian, "It's truly a pleasure to be your apprentice, Dr. Ballard."However, Sebastian said, "You don't have the right to be my apprentice yet."Jay was stunned; no matter what he did, he was still wrong. Hence, he gave Triston a helpless look.Triston quickly said to Sebastian, "Dr. Ballard, my apprentice is sorry for his mistake. Please forgive him."Sebastian gave Triston a cold look.This sight had already made Shannon, Sally, and Whitney's jaws drop. Even the infamous Triston bowed to Sebastian, so did this mean Sebastian was extremely skilled?At this moment, Triston was still defending Jay.Sebastian exhaled and said, "Alright, get up."Jay quickly got up and stoo
Upon hearing this, Whitney's tears rolled down her cheeks. Just as she was about to question him, several green Jeeps suddenly stopped in front of them. The Jeeps barreled in aggressively.The car doors swung open, and several men in special uniforms with fierce expressions jumped out. Leading them was none other than Conrad Beck.With a sinister smile, Conrad walked toward Sebastian. "We meet again."Sebastian frowned, and he stepped forward to shield Whitney behind him. "Mr. Beck, is there something you need?" Sebastian asked, his voice carrying a hint of amusement.Whitney was terrified and nervous. She whispered, "Sebastian, what's going on? Who are they?""It's none of your concern. You should leave," Sebastian replied coldly.As soon as he finished speaking, Conrad roared, "Take him away!"Immediately, two members of the Alpha Strike Force stepped forward and were ready to apprehend Sebastian.Whitney panicked and rushed forward to stand between them. She shouted, "
"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
