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, "
Conrad's face was full of disdain as he sneered. "Don't bother asking. As long as you're here, you can't do anything anymore. Cuff his hands up!"With those words, two team members stepped forward and secured Sebastian's hands to the crossbar of a steel column. Conrad then picked up a branding iron from the hot coals. Its tip was glowing red, and he approached Sebastian with a malicious grin. "How about trying this one?"Sebastian remained calm, and his gaze fixed on the branding iron. "I wonder what the consequences are for an Alpha Strike Force officer using unauthorized torture?"Conrad laughed derisively. "Unauthorized torture? Who says this is unauthorized? Just now, I arrested you on charges of obstructing an Alpha Strike Force operation, assaulting its members, and treason."Sebastian's cold smile widened. "So, this is how the Alpha Strike Force conducts its investigations."Conrad's expression darkened. "You're already a dead man. But I do like to make deals. Leave Ms. G
At that moment, Conrad panicked and turned to run, but it was too late!Sebastian raised his hand and grabbed another metal whip. With a flick of his wrist, the metal whip cracked through the air and struck Conrad as he ran toward the door."Ah!" Conrad let out a scream. The metal whip hit him squarely on the back, embedding a dozen screws into his flesh, and he began to bleed. Conrad fell to the ground in agony and fury. He glared at Sebastian and shouted, "How dare you attack a member of the Alpha Strike Force! That's a death sentence for you and your family!"However, Sebastian just smiled calmly and said, "So?"As soon as he finished speaking, he whipped him again."Ah!" Conrad wailed in pain."This whip is for your unlawful arrest!"Conrad's clothes were torn to shreds, with his back a bloody mess."This second whip is for your abuse of power and misuse of your authority!""Ahhh... You bastard! You'll pay for this!" Conrad screamed and shouted in pain while desperatel
Sebastian chuckled, and he fixed his cold gaze on Klaus. "Captain Hindon, I'd like to know if the Alpha Strike Force in Steinberg is run by you?"Klaus sneered sarcastically. "Sebastian, Alpha Strike Force in Steinberg is indeed all under me! Got a problem with that? If you do, just keep it to yourself! Now, you either kneel, or I'll put you on trial according to the Alpha Strike Force law!""A trial?" Sebastian laughed and shook his head, his expression calm. "I'm afraid you don't have the authority for that, Captain Hindon.""Ridiculous! I have the power to do whatever I want here. I don't need any special authority to deal with a nobody like you." Klaus scoffed dismissively.Sebastian smirked slightly. "Is that so? Then let's wait and see."Klaus snorted at Sebastian's words. "From the way you talk, it seems like you have some special connections.""A bit," Sebastian replied calmly.Klaus chuckled and asked, "Really? I'd like to see who your connections are and if they can ge
Theresa frowned, and her expression turned grim. After a long pause, she sighed in resignation and dialed the number again. "Alright, I agree to your terms," she said coldly. "What do you need?" the man on the other end asked."Get someone out of Alpha Strike Force for me.""Name?""Sebastian Ballard," Theresa said coldly before hanging up.Meanwhile, in a large and austere office sat a middle-aged man in uniform with two gold stars on his shoulder straps. He had stern eyes and a commanding presence. He turned to his subordinate and ordered, "Inform Alpha Strike Force to locate someone named Sebastian.""Yes, general!" his subordinate responded promptly and left the office."Wait!" The man frowned. "Investigate this young man's background as well.""Yes, general!" his subordinate answered again and quickly exited the room.The man clasped his hands behind his back and looked out the window. He murmured to himself, "It seems like Sebastian must be very important to There
Meanwhile, in Steinberg's military base, a soldier in uniform quickly ran into the office of the military's commanding officer. Inside, Draco was lounging in a chair with his legs crossed. He was playing a game on his phone. Nearby, the commanding officer of the Steinberg garrison stood respectfully to await orders.The door was then pushed open, and the soldier walked in. He said, "Commander, there's trouble.""What is it?" Draco asked without looking up."Mr. Ballard was taken by the Alpha Strike Force."Draco's expression darkened. He put down his phone and asked coldly, "Why?""We haven't found out yet," the soldier replied.Draco frowned. He stood up and stretched his neck. "Interesting," he sneered. "The Alpha Strike Force must have a death wish to capture someone like him. Let's go take a look.""Yes, sir!"The soldier then followed Draco into a Jeep and headed straight for Steinberg's Alpha Strike Force base.…Sebastian was surrounded by Klaus and other members o
"Who are you? What are you doing? Who allowed you to come in?" Dean said, eyeing Sebastian angrily.The entire building belonged to the Grandase Group. This was his territory, and he thought nothing of Sebastian at all."It doesn't matter who I am. Let me give you some advice. You can be unreasonable, but don't let your hands wander. Otherwise, you'll regret it!" Sebastian said coldly.Dean's gaze swept coldly over him before he looked at Rosalie and Whitney again. They should have found a more suitable bodyguard for themselves! Sebastian was dressed plainly and looked poor. He seemed the studious type. What else could he do except say a few tough-sounding words?"Guards!" Dean called out through his office door.In less than two minutes, six or seven burly guards arrived at Dean's office door, holding tasers."Toss this brat out!" he said, pointing at Sebastian.After he got rid of Sebastian, he could do as he liked, couldn't he?He had been lusting after Rosalie and Whitney
Sebastian's opponent had acted very fast."By the way, Whitney asked me to go and see them with her to negotiate. Do you have time? Will you come with me?" Rosalie asked, biting her lip.With Sebastian beside her, she would feel confident no matter what kind of unexpected situation popped up."Alright. I'll go with you and have a look," Sebastian said. He stood up and left the office with Rosalie.When they reached the foyer of Avis Building, the headquarters of Grandase Group, Sebastian immediately saw Whitney sitting beside a round table, looking very anxious. "Sebastian, Rosalie! You're finally here! Our products will be taken off the shelves this afternoon! What should we do?"Just last month, Whitney and Rosalie had invested the money that they had worked so hard to earn into the business. In order to expand production volumes, they had even specially bought a shipment of cutting edge production equipment from abroad.Once the factory and equipment was prepared and they we
The problem was that the strength of the Griffins' foundation in Steinberg would decide the fate of the Northmans as well. "What properties do I even own? I only have a convenience store. They can oppress it as much as they want," Sebastian said, smiling.The convenience store was just something Sebastian ran for fun when he had nothing to do. His fortune wasn't based on these properties at all. For instance, there were the pills he refined. Any of them could be sold at the high price of hundreds of millions or even billions. Even if his convenience store closed down, what did it matter? Bankrupt him? That was ridiculous. "It's not just a convenience store. There's Rosalie's entertainment club, the pharmaceutical factory in Northside, and Arctic Snow Group too. Aren't they all your properties? As far as I know, some people have already started taking action," Zane said nervously. "What?" Sebastian asked coldly, his eyes narrowing.No matter what those people did to him, he
"Let's go, you silly goose." Sebastian swiped Rosalie's nose lightly and strode in the direction of the parking lot.After standing in a daze for a while, Rosalie hurried to catch up.Once they were in the car, Sebastian projected his voice and told Kody and Branson to seal off the news. Anyone who breathed a word about what had happened that day would be killed without exception! After all, they had created a huge fuss that day. Sebastian wasn't worried about Yutaria or Sword Towers getting revenge because what would come would come in the end, and it couldn't be avoided.Still, he didn't want to attract too much attention, and he wanted to prevent all the martial arts practitioners from flocking to him to try and curry favor. It would be much too troublesome.Over at the venue, a decision was soon reached. Blake ended up being the new chairman of the Martial Arts Association. As soon as the news spread, it shocked everyone. However, those who had come to see the martial arts
Sebastian huffed coldly as his energy exploded around him. A terrifying, imperious energy began spreading out with Sebastian at its center.The air seemed to congeal around them. The vast force of energy seemed to be as deep as the ocean!Everyone's expressions changed drastically when they saw what was happening.Up in the stands, Trafford was aghast. He was very familiar with the energy that Sebastian was emitting—the Eldoria realm.The young man standing there was an expert at the formation phase of the Eldoria realm."You… you… you're a Cultivator?" No matter how dumb Ethan was, even he had realized what was happening. He and Sebastian weren't playing on the same field at all. Sebastian was starting out from a level that Ethan would never be able to attain in this lifetime."No! That's impossible! I'm the best out of the younger generation among the mystic martial arts! Even though I've tried to join the mystic sects a few times, I was ruthlessly rejected every time I tried
Sebastian glanced briefly at Derek, who was half-dead. Then, he looked up at Grant, Frederick, and the others in the stands, who had all turned pale with fright. "You should have gone the same way as they did," he said coldly. "However, since you're Warrior League apprentices, Madam Dragon can decide on your fate."Belinda looked gratefully at Sebastian. He had shown the Warrior League great respect in not executing Derek and the others on the spot. He had preserved the last vestiges of the Warrior League's dignity.Sebastian pointed at the podium, where Ethan looked very nervous. He asked coldly, "Didn't you say that you wanted to battle to the death with me? Get down here and get ready to die!"Ethan swallowed and trembled as he swallowed the Solpill. His energy suddenly multiplied tenfold, and in the blink of an eye, he had a terrifying energy that was equal to that of someone at the most advanced stage of the Celestial realm.When Ethan felt the limitless power inside him, he
"You were given the name because you look like beasts!" Sebastian jabbed his finger again and cut off Emil's arms.Emil could barely breathe from the pain. He was no longer arrogant at all."Oh right. What did you say you were?"Emil shuddered at the sound of Sebastian's icy voice. Before he could recover, Sebastian pointed at his abdomen.A hole appeared in Emil's stomach from the force of Sebastian's finger. The bloody hole the size of his finger began spurting blood. "As you wished, your blood will soon form a river." Sebastian laughed coldly as he pulled out a silver needle and stuck it into one of Emil's major acupuncture points. As the silver needle pierced him, Emil's nerves were stimulated, and the blood began gushing at twice the speed.When Emil felt himself rapidly losing blood, he turned white with fright. Sebastian was going to let him bleed to death."Sebastian, you— I won't forgive you even if I become a ghost! I… I want to go to the embassy—"Sebastian slappe
Everyone there was shocked at what they had just seen.What was going on? Had the Yutarian beast gotten kicked in the head by a mule? Why would he have summoned a bolt of lightning to strike himself?"What the heck? The Yutarians have weird fetishes.""That's not surprising. It fits them."The audience began to murmur, their speculation running wild.However, Emil was in no mood to listen to them. He had even begun to suspect that Sebastian wasn't human.He, Devin, and Magnus were all experts renowned for their ferocity. However, they had all been thoroughly beaten by a young man in his 20s. They hadn't even gotten a chance to retaliate.That didn't make sense at all!All three of them were covered in blood, but Sebastian was spotless. There wasn't even a speck of dust on him!If Sebastian had defeated them in martial arts alone, they would have accepted it. However, Emil had just used a Shendo technique!So many of Dramon's martial arts experts had been killed by his Shendo
This wasn't just the difference between them in training. It was also about battle experience.After all, Magnus, Devin, and Emil weren't inexperienced nobodies. All three of them had been through hundreds of battles and were very experienced.However, they were as defenseless as a baby when faced with Sebastian.But… Sebastian was so young. How could a young man in his 20s have such extensive battle experience? Not only that, his calm and assured demeanor wasn't something that could be faked."How is this possible?" Trafford's pupils constricted as he murmured to himself in disbelief.Kody laughed wryly and said, "That day in Pill Valley, we reacted the same way you did. We didn't want to believe all of this was true, but look!"Branson sighed softly and said, "Mr. Callahan wasn't just utterly destroyed in pill refining. He couldn't retaliate at all in mystic arts or martial arts either."Trafford's shock and alarm reached its peak. Sebastian walked out of the dust and smoke
