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
Sebastian frowned and said, "I don't want to discuss this with you. What's happened to Ms. Griffin?"Whitney looked resentfully at him. After a moment's silence, she exhaled and said, "I'm not sure about the specifics. Ms. Griffin rushed back to Janover yesterday. Apparently, something's happened to the Janover Griffins."Something had happened to the Janover Griffins?Sebastian's brow was furrowed tightly. He suddenly got up and said, "I'm going to go to Janover.""What are you going to Janover for? You have no power and no status. What can you do for the Janover Griffins?" Whitney asked accusingly. She was rather annoyed.Sebastian had changed. The man who had once been willing to risk everything for her was now going to Janover for another woman. "This is my private business, and you don't need to interfere," Sebastian said impassively.Whitney was furious. She blocked Sebastian's path and said sharply, "Sebastian! What the hell are you going to do? It's Janover! It's a dang
Silver gleamed in Sebastian's hands, and he held it against their necks as he said coldly, "Tell me who you are and why you're following me. If you don't tell me, you'll die!"The man and woman leaning against the wall were scared witless. The speed with which Sebastian had reacted had made it clear that they were no match for him.The two of them exchanged looks. The man spoke first, "Mr. Ballard, we're from the Ballard family."At the term of address, Sebastian's brow furrowed tightly, and his expression darkened at once. A bone-piercing chill settled over him."The Ballards? Who sent you?" Sebastian said harshly. The silver needles he was holding pierced into their necks, drawing blood!The man tried his best to remain calm as he said, "Mr. Roland Ballard sent us.""Roland Ballard?" Sebastian's expression darkened. He studied the pair in front of him, and once he had ascertained that they weren't lying, he put the silver needles away.It was only then that the man and woman f
At the sound of the Wind Dancers' name, the waiters turned pale with fright.The Wind Dancers were known for killing people without batting an eye. It was rumored that even the Martial Arts Court had to show the WInd Dancers respect. They were immensely influential. Killing someone was like nothing to them."Oh, the Wind Dancers?" Sebastian frowned slightly."What's the matter? Are you scared now?"Reggie noticed Sebastian's expression stiffening and mistakenly thought that the latter had been frightened by the name of the Wind Dancers. Reggie pulled up a chair and sat down beside Nina."You don't have to be too nervous," he said. "We have always acted righteously, and we aren't biased toward any party at all!"With that, he pulled out a contract and gave it to Sebastian. Sebastian frowned slightly. They were clearly well prepared. They'd even drawn up a contract!When he took it and scanned it, his expression darkened at once. It was written clearly in the document that Seb
Reggie felt that it would be a disaster if Sebastian found out they were here and escaped.He had finally gotten an opportunity to help the Wentworths. However, he couldn't just let things go because Sebastian had escaped.The procession arrived at the restaurant on the 18th floor, where over a dozen waiters and waitresses were fighting to serve Sebastian and Nina delicacies from Boren. "That's him!" Colton yelled, pointing at Sebastian with his eyes blazing with anger.The patrons in the restaurant all turned simultaneously in Colton's direction. They all broke out into cold sweats of fear when they saw Anton, Reggie, and two black-clad men standing at the elevator doors. Although Colton wasn't well-known, Anton was very famous in Boren. He was known for being a vicious person who always got his revenge. "Stop eating and pack your things. Let's go!""There's big trouble brewing this time. Let's go, hurry!"The diners at several of the tables were only halfway through their
Since Reggie had accepted money from Anton, he would have to work for him. Reggie had his own plans.Now, the Wind Dancers allowed their members to buy real estate, and all they had to do was to submit one-third of their profits from their personal assets. In other words, the new rule was giving the Wind Dancers' internal apprentices permission to go and take what they wanted. When they used the name of the Wind Dancers, no one would dare refuse them.However, they would need an appropriate reason to take things. Reggie had been thinking about it, and now the solution had turned up!The more he thought about it, the more pleased he became. The Aequor was a big, five-star hotel with an income of over 100 million annually. Wouldn't that mean that he had gotten himself a veritable goldmine?Once he had made up his mind, Reggie urged, 'Let's not waste any time so that he won't have time to escape!""Yes! That's right!"Anton nodded quickly and instructed the butler to get a helicop
"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
