"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
"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
