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
Rachel looked proudly and triumphantly at Janet. She seemed to be saying, "Look, your father still believes me."Janet burst into angry tears and looked at Sebastian.Sebastian smiled slightly and gestured to Janet to calm down. "Dr. Ballard, thank you for saving me," Mike said, bowing. Sebastian smiled blithely and said, "Mr. Connolly, I saved you because I promised Janet that I would. However, I have some advice for you. Although I've treated your internal injuries, you will still die three days from now."Mike looked shocked. He asked uncomprehendingly, "What do you mean, Dr. Ballard?"Sebastian shrugged. "It's very simple. Your ophryon looks dark and is covered with a veil of dark energy. At a rough guess, I'd say that you only have two or three days left."Mike immediately touched his forehead and asked fearfully, "Dr. Ballard, is that true? Do you know physiognomy, too? Is there something wrong with me?"Sebastian shook his head, but his gaze traveled to an emerald tige
Mike looked agonized and hesitant. If he spoke up about it, then it would affect his own luck. If he didn't speak up, he would die in three days' time.Finally, after weighing the options, Mike felt that his life was more important. He said, "Dr. Ballard, I can tell you about it, but can you guarantee that you can save me?""Of course," Sebastian answered.Mike nodded and was about to speak, but Rachel looked very agitated. She stopped him again. "Honey, you can't tell him! It'll ruin your luck."Mike was annoyed at Rachel's obstruction. He said in a lowered tone, "What's more important, my luck or my life?""Well…" Rachel was stunned for a moment. Her eyes flashed, and she looked viciously at Sebastian. Sebastian ignored her and looked at Mike. The latter quickly began telling the story. He explained how, a few years ago, Rachel had introduced him to the expert and how they had gone to visit him.From Mike's account, the expert was someone who knew all the secrets of the heave
Rachel could not stand it any longer. She stood up, pointed accusingly at Sebastian, and said angrily, "Nonsense! You're being ridiculous! A Five Demon Wealth Transfer curse? You're making it all up!"She then looked at Mike and said, "Don't listen to him, honey. He's just a con man! We should kick him out right now!"Sebastian laughed and said, "Mr. Connolly, haven't you realized yet?""What?" Mike was startled. He did not understand.Sebastian pointed at Rachel and said, "Just now, this woman kept trying to stop you from telling me about how the expert changed your luck. Now, she can't restrain herself from accusing me of being a liar."I can prove that I'm not a liar later. However, based on your judgment of people, I'm sure that you can tell that your wife and that expert have an unusually close relationship."Your wife went specially with you to get this emerald tiger. In fact, she was probably the one who obtained it for you, right?"Her goal is very simple. She wanted to
Rachel had just finished screaming when the demons lunged at her and intertwined themselves around her body, as if determined to take her life. They seemed to be sucking on something.Rachel screamed tragically, flailing her arms around as she tried to swat them away. However, it was no use.Her shrieks scared Mike and Janet so much that they began shaking violently as they stood there.At that moment, Rachel felt something leaking out rapidly from her body.No matter how hard she tried to chase them away, the five demons remained fastened to her like vampires, sucking out a white gaseous vapor from her body. It was her life force!Rachel kept screeching, and her beautiful face rapidly seemed to wilt. Her skin had been plump and elastic, but it began shriveling swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, she looked like a woman in her 60s.The sight terrified Mike and Janet. They had never imagined such a thing would happen.What an amazing person! Sebastian was the real expert!Rac
Mike finally understood what was going on. Unexpectedly, he wasn't angry at all. Instead, he sounded very excited as he said, "Janet, it's an honor to be Dr. Ballard's maid."Janet rolled her eyes at him.Sebastian did not linger. He told Mike to arrange for a driver to drive him back to Steinberg.In the living room of the Connollys' villa in the mountains, Mike asked Janet meaningfully, "Janet, what do you think about Dr. Ballard?""He's very capable and very mysterious," she answered without hesitating.Mike nodded and said, "I feel the same way. Since you've promised to be his maid for three months, you should set off for Steinberg tomorrow. Apart from that, I want to advise you to take those three months as an opportunity."Janet was confused. She asked rather uncomprehendingly, "Dad, what do you mean by that? What kind of opportunity are you talking about?""Sleep with Dr. Ballard and make him my son-in-law, obviously!" Mike answered.Janet jolted with shock and asked in
The convenience store had been completely smashed up.Janet had been flung to the floor by a slap from a large, burly man. She clutched at her swollen cheek with tears in her eyes, looking very aggrieved."What do you want?" she asked.There were four tattooed men in the shop. The bald one in the lead leered at Janet as she sat on the ground, and there was a sharp look in his eyes. He said coldly, "What are you doing? Can't you see that we're here to collect a fee?""A fee?" Janet was confused.The man pulled a chair over, sat down, and began smoking. He crossed his legs and said coldly, "Where's your boss?""He's gone out," she replied.The bald man nodded, and his gaze swept over Janet's long legs and full chest. He stared lewdly at her and grinned. "When your boss gets back, tell him that starting from today, this street belongs to Will Bond," he declared. "If he wants to keep his store open, he'll have to pay ten thousand every month if he doesn't want trouble! If he doe
With a resounding snap, Sebastian had broken Will's wristWill howled in pain.Sebastian wasn't done! He raised his foot and kicked Will's kneecap, shattering it at once.Will screamed and fell to his knees with a thump. "Apologize! Otherwise, die!" Sebastian said coldly.Will finally realized that he could not afford to provoke the man in front of him. He hastily screamed, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I was wrong! I'll never do it again! Please, sir, please, ma'am, have mercy on me…"Sebastian turned and looked at Janet. He gestured to her. "Come over here and slap him!""Huh?" Janet was startled. She felt rather afraid and wary.Sebastian's brow furrowed, and he said, "You can't get bullied if you're my maid! If you do get bullied by someone, you've got to pay them back for it! Slap him!"Janet bit her lip and walked over. She raised her hand to give Will a resounding slap across the face."Keep going!" Sebastian said. Janet thought for a moment. She made up her mind and slapp
