"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
Janet was delighted. She wiped away her tears and asked, "Really?"Sebastian smiled impassively. He turned and looked at Karl, whose jaw had dropped in amazement, and said coldly, "You know about the 17 Sacred Needles?"Karl hastily bowed and said, "A few years ago, I saw it when you battled Dr. Smolder at the Great Doctors' Battle. I was too far away at the time and didn't manage to see your face clearly. However, the 17 Sacred Needles were shown on the big screen, and I managed to see it."Karl was now being very respectful.Sebastian was the leader of the Sacred Medicine Society! That meant that he was the Sacred Medicine Society's leader in this generation!He was a genius whose abilities far surpassed all the sects of Dragonia's martial arts community as well as those in the world of mystic arts!Sebastian nodded and said warningly, "You'd better keep my identity hidden. Understood?"Karl immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes…"Then, he asked in a nervous, frightened
Finn took out a bank card and handed it to Shane.There was exactly ten million in the card, which he had prepared beforehand. However, it wasn't for Anthony. He had been planning to send it to Harold.After all, Shane had been implicated in Matthias' case.Finn had been able to bail Shane out because the police didn't have concrete evidence, but if the case remained unresolved, Shane would not be able to leave Sunway even for a day!That was what Finn was most worried about.If they proved that Shane had done it, it wouldn't just be the police who would be after him. The Winters would kick both Finn and Shane out of the family.However, it seemed that there was no need to worry at all. If Sebastian's identity was changing all the time, how could he have any powerful allies? The police would probably close the case very soon. It was why Finn had decided to bet on Anthony. Shane took the bank card happily and rushed out of the house.There were too many rules involved in goin
Shane smiled and said, "Dad, Mr. Stallone called me just now and asked me to go with him to greet Mr. Laing. Don't you think our family should go and welcome him as well?"Finn's gaze swept over Shane, and he asked, "What do you youngsters know? Our family are businessmen. As for Anthony, he's an influential figure in the mystic martial arts sects. From what I've heard, Sebastian isn't easy to deal with, either. Our family shouldn't get mixed up in this."Finn's experience in life told him that it wouldn't be wise to provoke either Sebastian or Anthony. Besides, it was too early to tell who would be the victor among the two of them.What if Sebastian killed Anthony?If the Winters were found to have tried to curry favor with Anthony, they would be dealt with very quickly.When two such powerful forces were fighting, it was best to feign ignorance of the entire thing. Otherwise, it would only bring trouble upon them.Besides, the case with Matthias was still unresolved. If they of
If the Emrys Sect was also looking for the sword, Anthony wouldn't dare to covet it. However, if they were ignoring Maximus, that would be a different story."Oh, my mentor has passed away. I'm just an external apprentice. How could I ask the other seniors in the sect to do anything? I had no choice but to watch as Purity, one of the ten famous swords of the Emrys Sect, fell into Sebastian's hands." The hatred in Maximus' voice intensified as he spoke. He hadn't just lost the sword. His reputation in Sunway had crumbled as well. He hadn't been able to find an ally, but now Anthony was going to come off his mountain to deal with Sebastian. Maximus might now be able to use the opportunity to get back his sword and his dignity."Oh, okay. I'll help you out. What does your sword look like?" Anthony had heard of Purity, but he had never seen the real thing."It's a rare treasure that can be both soft and hard and can be wrapped around one's waist. As far as I know, Sebastian keeps th
"Mr. Laing, why would you need to go personally for such a young man? Despite my inferior skills, I am willing to get his head for you," a middle-aged man stood up and said to Anthony. He was the deputy sect leader of the Caelbane Sect, and he had been an apprentice together with Anthony. If Anthony went personally and made a scene, everyone in the mystic martial arts sects might find out. If he went personally for a young man, wouldn't that imply that there wasn't anyone else in the Caelbane Sect who could go?Anthony smiled impassively and said, "Jacques, you don't understand. Although Titan's death was a pity, I still have other apprentices who are just as skilled as Titan."Anthony had been acting rather strangely at the entrance that day. He didn't usually treat his apprentices that way.He was the kind of person who didn't think that mentor-apprentice relationships were very important.In fact, several of his apprentices were unhappy about that. The pain that he had expr
If Sebastian was too absolute, he would only attract the hatred and revenge of more people. That was why he had killed Titan, but not Tatum. He had to have a reason to kill every time he did so."The mystic sects?" Rose smiled and shook her head as she said, "With skills like yours, who among the mystic sects can do anything to you? There's probably barely anyone.""Do you want me to end up on the run? What will happen to Rosalie and Whitney? What about the Northmans? They will be sure to suffer a bloody revenge as well." Sebastian shook his head, smiling wryly.If he didn't have anything that he was concerned about, he would be fearless. However, the people around him were all ordinary people who barely had any strength. Sebastian could escape, but what about the others?…It was late at night when Tatum finally crawled back to the Caelbane Sect, covered in blood. The apprentice who was standing guard ran in to report to Anthony when he saw the wretched state that Tatum was i
Tatum had turned pale with fright. His shirt became drenched with cold sweat almost instantly."You… did you just kill one of the Caelbane Sect members?" Tatum still couldn't accept it.There was a snap as Sebastian broke both his legs with a single kick instead of wasting time talking to him.There was a thump as Tatum fell heavily to his knees. The impact crushed his kneecaps as well."Aargh!" Tatum screamed in pain like a dying pig."Shut up. If you scream again, I'll cut out your tongue," Sebastian said, looking down at him. Tatum stopped shouting at once and stared up at Sebastian in abject fear.Since he was a child, he had been the one bullying others. This was the first time he had been treated as if he were a lamb being led to the slaughter!"Apologize to the old lady!" Sebastian pointed to the old lady that Titan had slapped. "Sebastian, we're the apprentices of the sect leader of the Caelbane Sect. You want me to apologize to her? Aren't you afraid that the Caelba
Every Warrior treated the Martial Arts Association like a god. Therefore, that would make the Caelbane Sect even higher than a god!"Are you both not right in the head? I don't owe your sect leader money, yet he's trying to ask me for something? Even beggars aren't this desperate!" Sebastian looked at Titan and Tatum as if they were idiots. "We're not beggars, damn it! I'm telling you, cut both your hands off right now and let us take them. Otherwise, we'll take your life!" Tatum yelled, pointing at Sebastian."What the hell are you looking at? Are you sick of living?" Titan slapped a passing old lady.The old lady had been planning to buy some house protection charms from Sebastian, but Titan slapped her so hard that she fell to the ground, blood trickling out of the corner of her mouth.Titan didn't even look twice at the old lady. He felt that anyone who even glanced their way twice when the Caelbane Sect was conducting their business deserved to die!Slapping her was already
Wensleydale had been overly enthusiastic with them. Not only had he been extremely hospitable, he had even arranged for several young and beautiful women to cater to them.When one went overboard, it would make everything seem insincere.Titan couldn't for the life of him think of any benefit that he could offer Wensleydale. The old man already had one foot in the grave, and the Caelbane Sect would never accept someone of his age. The more he thought about it, the more Titan felt that what Tatum had said made sense."Forget about him. Let's go to Steinberg ourselves tomorrow morning," he said, his eyes narrowing.Even if Wensleydale had tipped Sebastian off, where could the latter escape to in just a single day?He could run, but he couldn't hide. Sebastian also owned the Arctic Snow Group in Steinberg, which was a massive corporation.Besides, according to reliable news from Ethan, Sebastian's ex-wife was also the CEO of Frostwave Corporation. He couldn't possibly pack up all
Sebastian laughed and said nothing. He rubbed the brand new copper coin in his pocket with one hand.Only Lyanna would be capable of doing something like that. The illusion had been cast by her.Without her help, Sebastian would probably be in huge trouble. No matter whether or not he was in the right, there should have been severe consequences for slaughtering more than 100 elite members of the Martial Arts Association.Lyanna had even made the souls of those people her food. It was terrifyingly cruel. "Everything's alright now, everyone. It seems that Mr. Flumen repented after realizing how terrible his crimes were and killed himself," Sebastian said politely, smiling as if nothing had happened."Maybe your character and charisma convinced them, Mr. Ballard." Hans didn't know what to say.Zane swallowed and laughed as he said to Sebastian, "Mr. Ballard, you really… you really are… amazing.""Since you're all here, don't be in such a rush to leave. I'll treat you all to a meal
