Whitney's expression changed. She looked displeased as she said, "Sebastian, you may not know yet, but you were only able to get out because I contacted Theresa and asked her to make a call. You really should thank her."Sebastian frowned as he looked in Theresa's direction.Theresa had her arms crossed over her chest as she looked haughtily at him. She said disdainfully, "Forget it. I don't need him to thank me. I only intervened for your sake, Whitney."Whitney appeared agitated. She looked meaningfully at Sebastian and said, "Sebastian, hurry up and thank Theresa!"Sebastian laughed and exhaled as he said, "Why should I thank her? I already told you that this has nothing to do with her. I was released because of my connections."Whitney's face twisted. She looked annoyed as she said accusingly, "Sebastian, what are you trying to do? Why is it so difficult for you to say thank you? "You're a man, aren't you? Why can't you be more magnanimous? Your connections? What connections
"No problem, Mr. Ballard. Leave it to me," Hans said, beaming. Then, he asked, "Mr. Ballard, should we promote your name, too?"Sebastian thought for a moment and said, "It's alright. I want to stay behind the scenes.""Okay," Hans answered.After hanging up, Sebastian glanced at the Sky Devouring Bottle and began refining the 30 Vitality Boost pills.As for the improved version of the pills, it was simple. He would just add some herbs with good medicinal properties to elevate its life-prolonging effects. For the rest of the day, Sebastian focused on refining the Vitality Boost pills.When evening came, he looked at the neatly laid out 30 Vitality Boost pills and the ten improved versions. He grinned in satisfaction.After a brief rest, Sebastian looked at his phone and realized that Rosalie hadn't called him for the entire day.Was she very busy?Sebastian called Rosalie, but her phone had been turned off."Huh?" Sebastian frowned slightly and called a few more times, but h
Sebastian smiled and said, "Remember to keep your promise."He walked into the store and drafted a quick agreement. He tossed it at Janet and said, "Sign it and seal it. You'll be my maid for three months here."Janet looked at the scrawled agreement. She sniffed in resignation and lay flat on the floor to put her seal on the document.Sebastian's eyes flickered.Janet really did have an excellent figure. She had a perky butt, slender waist, and huge breasts. It was a pity that she was so arrogant. She needed to be educated properly.When Janet was done, Sebastian looked at it and nodded. "Let's go," he said. "Where are we going?" Janet asked in confusion.Sebastian frowned. "To treat your father, of course."Janet finally reacted. She got up quickly, but she had knelt for so long that her legs were numb. Her knee was grazed and bleeding, and she stumbled and fell toward Sebastian.Sebastian reacted quickly and hastily caught her. Janet jumped and moved away swiftly. She bl
"Where did this brat come from? Do you have a death wish? Let go of me right now!" Rachel said bossily to Sebastian.Sebastian smiled slightly and let go of her wrist. He said coldly, "I don't care who you are. You're not allowed to touch my people."Behind Sebastian, Janet jumped in surprise and looked at him with a conflicted expression.Rachel was startled, too. She looked from Janet to Sebastian and asked harshly, "Who are you, brat? What do you mean by that? She's the heiress of the Connollys!""I'm sorry, but two hours ago, she signed an indenture for three months. She's now my maid," Sebastian said calmly."Indenture? Maid?" Rachel cried out in shock. She looked at Janet and yelled, "Janet, what have you been doing out there? If your father finds out that you've been playing around with this kind of thing, what would he think? A maid?"After scolding Janet, Rachel turned and looked at Sebastian angrily. She shouted, "You brat! I don't care who you are! I'm warning you that
Sebastian frowned slightly. Janet was very displeased and yelled, "Rachel! He's the genius doctor I found. What right do you have to prevent him from treating Dad? You have no authority in this family!"Rachel crossed her arms over her chest and said haughtily, "Janet, don't forget that I'm your father's wife. We're lawfully married, and if he dies, I'll be next in line for the inheritance, not you! Do you understand? That's why, as long as he remains in a coma, I'm the head of the family!" "Why you—!" Janet burst into angry tears as she glared furiously at Rachel. Rachel snorted coldly and ignored Janet and Sebastian. She turned to Karl and said respectfully, "Please come in, Dr. Mason." Karl gave her a slight nod. He had his hands behind his back, and as he passed Sebastian, he stopped all of a sudden. With a sneer, he said, "I heard Ms. Connolly said you're a genius doctor. Who did you train under? How long have you been practicing medicine?"Sebastian chuckled. "I didn'
Sebastian turned and smiled slightly. He said, "Have you forgotten again? Address me as 'my lord.'"Janet blushed hotly. She lowered her head and said in a muffled voice, "My lord…"As soon as the words left her mouth, the burly men staring menacingly at Sebastian were shocked!Had Janet actually addressed Sebastian as "my lord"? How frightening! What was going on?Sebastian laughed. He spoke calmly and confidently, "Don't worry. He won't be able to cure your father.""Huh?" Janet was flabbergasted.How could she feel reassured if her father could not be cured?"What about my father, my lord?" Janet was anxious. Sebastian said, "Well, I'm here, aren't I? Since I promised to help, I can save your father."He turned around.The three burly men rushed over immediately to stop him. They looked hostile as they said, "You're not allowed to leave!"Sebastian frowned and said, "I wasn't planning on leaving. I just want to sit down."He sat down calmly on the armchair beside them.
Karl looked serious. He was very nervous, and he yelled, "This is impossible! How did this happen all of a sudden?""Calm down, Madam Connolly. let me have a look." Karl hastily began examining Mike.The moment he began, Karl's expression changed drastically, and he began shaking. He could no longer detect any signs of life from the Life Extension Spell!What was going on?Karl swiftly took out the small candle that he had been using and placed it under Mike's nose to try and entice the bug. However, no matter how much Karl waved the candle or chanted spells, there were no signs of movement or life from the Life Extension Spell at all. Had the Life Extension Spell died?Karl was as pale as a sheet. He quickly checked Mike's pulse. Immediately, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning!There were signs of imminent death! He was barely hanging on by a thread!Karl quickly took out his silver needles and began to extend Mike's life with them. However, Mike did not show any
"Janet, you'd better not make any trouble! Listen to me! Get married to a good partner and live a cushy life as a trophy wife. Otherwise, I'll kick you out of the Connolly family!"Janet was furious. She glared venomously at Rachel and said harshly, "Rachel, I always knew that you were up to no good! Now that Dad's in a difficult situation, you're tearing off that mask of yours and getting ready to seize the family business, aren't you?""Janet, don't be so unpleasant. I'm your father's lawfully wedded wife. If he dies, I'm the first in line to inherit everything!" Rachel sneered, looking confident. Suddenly, Sebastian coughed and grinned harmlessly. "Mr. Connolly may not die."Rachel and Karl both turned to look at Sebastian, who had just walked in. "What nonsense are you saying, you brat? Dr. Mason just said that Mike can't be cured! Who do you think you are? How're you so sure that he won't die?" Rachel berated him. Karl frowned and said coldly, "Young man, I know that you
Sebastian laughed at the reluctant expression on the stall owner's face. He weighed the emerald pendant in his hand and asked, "Mister, are you sure that this emerald pendant is worth 210 thousand?"With that, he tossed it onto the counter and turned to leave."Huh?"The stall owner immediately ran around to the front of the stall when he saw that Sebastian was about to leave. He grabbed him and said, "Don't be in such a rush to leave, my young friend. Let's negotiate. If you're sincere about buying it, I'll sell it to you at 150 thousand, and I'll be making a loss. Let this be the start of a friendship between us!"Sebastian smiled slightly and said, "Mister, even a layman can tell that this emerald pendant is a fake. I just like the patterns on it because it's quite trendy. That's why I asked about it on a whim."Describing the patterns on the antique as trendy only served to show how obvious it was that it was a fake.The stall owner turned beet red, then white. He cursed hi
However, the more famous something was, the more imitations there would be. Antiques were no exception. In Boren, streets filled with antique stores were abundant. From Klane City to the smallest town, they were omnipresent.There were stores and stalls of various kinds that had everything, but all of them had one thing in common. All the antiques and trinkets that they sold were a mixed bag of authentic and fake. Buyers had to rely on their own judgment. There was also an unspoken rule there. Once a deal was made, no returns were allowed. If a buyer had paid for an item before realizing that something was wrong or recognizing that it was a fake, they would have no choice but to accept it. There was a saying about how the golden age of antiques was during times of chaos. Although they were now in times of peace, many members of the upper class were still very interested in them. Both experts and laymen liked to have a few collector's items in their homes. There were plenty of we
"Watch him closely! If you lose him, I'll have your head!" Anton said before hanging up. A malicious grin spread across his face.As the son of the head director of Boren Martial Arts Court, many were eager to curry favor with him. If it came to dealing with Sebastian, there were plenty of people willing to do the dirty work for him. Acorn City was the second largest city in Boren after Klane City, and Anton knew just who to call. About two weeks ago, the Lynch family of Acorn City had sent gifts to him. However, as the Lynches were a third-rate elite martial arts family, Anton had dismissed them. That was why, despite searching frantically, he couldn't find Colton Lynch's name card."Damn it! Where did that asshole's name card get to?"It was the first time Anton had been so anxious about finding the name card of an heir from a third-rate family. After rummaging around for a while, Anton had a sudden flash of inspiration. It was in the trash can!He suddenly remembered that
Sebastian laughed wryly and shook his head at Nina's words. "Nina, you're staying behind so everyone thinks I'm still here. Rowan and Arran will stay here with you so that no one will become suspicious!"Nina frowned. "But I'll be worried about you being with Unus. It's still just a beast whose rational capabilities aren't fully developed yet. What if it—"Sebastian smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry. Hugo has subdued them completely already, so nothing unexpected will happen. Honestly, there isn't much in Boren that worries me. However, if the Yome Sect enters Steinberg while its defenses are down, we'll be put in a difficult position."Though reluctant, Nina finally agreed.That night, Sebastian quietly brought Unus out with him. As soon as he walked out of the hotel doors, two thugs hiding at the side of the road who had been watching them stealthily immediately reported his movements to Anton."Are you sure it was Sebastian?" Anton demanded sharply."Positive! He looks e
"Kneel!" Joaquin yelled at Anton the moment he entered the room.Anton immediately dropped to his knees with a loud thud in front of Sebastian."My lord, my son is worthless. Everything that happened before was his doing. He has been a disgrace to our family. Please have mercy on his crimes," Joaquin said. He looked up at Sebastian and was puzzled to see how terrible his complexion was.Nina had been injured the day before, so why was it now the other way around? She had a rosy complexion, while Sebastian looked as white as a sheet."Alright. The important thing is to learn from one's mistakes and change. Don't forget the oath that you made. If you break it, I won't have to punish you. The law of heaven will act accordingly!" Sebastian said coldly."Yes, of course! I would never dare to break the oath! But…" Joaquin looked at Sebastian with a troubled expression.Sebastian frowned slightly and asked, "But what?""I can see that you don't look very well, my lord. Should I prepa
After resting for the whole night, Nina's complexion had almost returned to normal. Even the wounds on her body had almost healed.In stark contrast, Sebastian looked worse than ever.It was the aftereffect of losing too much blood essence. If it wasn't for the fact that he had the legacy of the Sacred Medicine Society, he might have already been half-dead. Even so, Sebastian felt weaker than he had ever felt before. His legs felt like jelly, and he was unsteady on his feet."My lord…"Rowan blanched with fear when he saw Sebastian. Sebastian was as pale as a sheet. Even his lips had lost all color."My lord, how did you get into this state?" Rowan asked, clearly confused. Sebastian had seemed fine when they returned to Mount Klane the night before. Waving his hand slightly, Sebastian replied, "I'm fine. I'll get better after some rest. Why are you up so early?"Rowan grew even more worried after hearing how frail Sebastian sounded."My lord, did you get severely injured o
As the car started, the two burly men kept close behind it.Rowan looked back at them from time to time and saw that the two burly men were keeping a fixed distance from the car. He couldn't help gasping.Weren't they walking inhumanly fast?"My lord, they—"Rowan pointed at the two burly men behind them."Don't ask about things that you shouldn't ask about," Sebastian said, looking down at Nina, who was still in a coma.He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her complexion was becoming rosy once more.After arriving back in Mount Klane, Sebastian checked into a five-star hotel at Joaquin's insistence. Once he had settled Nina in, Sebastian called the two Devora to his room."Do you have names?" he asked.The two Devora shook their heads slightly. Like Hugo had said, they had been born of Dragon Energy, and they caught beasts in the mountains for food every day. Why would they have names?"Well, you've got to give me a way to differentiate between you, right? You even
Arran and Rowan asked in confusion, "Aren't we going to look for the Ballard Estate anymore, my lord?"Sebastian turned to look at Arran. "We'll die before we reach the Ballard Estate!"Arran didn't know how powerful Nina was, but Rowan knew better than anyone that Nina was a top expert. If even she had gotten severely injured, Rowan and Arran would have no chance of entering Mount Quiln at all."Arran, trust in Mr. Ballard. Leaving Mount Quiln is the right thing to do!" Rowan said. He held Joaquin safely and asked Sebastian, "What do we do with him, my lord?"Sebastian turned to look at Joaquin. He said impassively, "Joaquin, I should execute you on the spot!"Joaquin immediately knelt and groveled. "Mr. Ballard, I'm willing to be your servant too. Please, if you don't kill me, you can tell me to do anything!""I don't have to kill you, but you mustn't let anything about what happened tonight leak out. Otherwise, I'll kill your entire family!" Sebastian said coldly.Joaquin s
"Do you think it's worth losing all your training to save her? Aren't you afraid of dying?" Hugo couldn't help asking bluntly. Sebastian smiled slightly. "I'm scared! However, she only got into this state because she was trying to save me. How could I just abandon her? We may just be master and servant, but our fates are related!"Hugo couldn't help shaking his head. "Young man, I can only save you this time. As we move forward, I may have trouble even protecting myself. Therefore, take these two items and go home!" Hugo reached out with one hand and dropped the Devora in front of Sebastian. He had been tortured half to death.The Devora was panting heavily. Although he understood that Hugo couldn't kill him, the endless torture was worse than death."Bite the tip of your tongue and wipe the blood on his brow!" Hugo instructed blandly.Sebastian held Nina up with one hand and did as Hugo had said. "Now say, the servant dies with the master, and heaven and earth bear witness!"
