Sebastian's expression darkened. He said a few words to Rosalie, left the convenience store at once and headed straight for Westville's Frost Lake.He could not make Whitney suffer on his account. That would cross the line for Sebastian. Westville's Frost Lake was located in a forest, and it was famous for how deep it was. The lake was several hundred feet deep, and its waters were as cold as ice. That was why it was called Frost Lake.A few years ago, a tour group had come to dive and bathe in the lake. Over ten people had died as a result, so the lake had been sealed off.There was still yellow police tape around its perimeter. It had once been a renowned tourist attraction, but it had now fallen into disrepair.Beside Frost Lake, there was a church. People had once come to worship there, but it had been abandoned because of the lake.Whitney was in the dilapidated church, and both her hands and feet had been bound. She huddled in a corner, her face streaked with tears. She
Muriel sat at the door to the dilapidated church, waiting quietly.Inside the church, Whitney looked up through the broken roof at the pale moon outside. Her eyes were full of tears.Would Sebastian come for her?She wasn't sure. He was probably still in Janover, fighting for Rosalie.At that thought, the tears in Whitney's eyes trickled down her cheeks. She was full of regret, and she hated herself. She had been the one who had pushed Sebastian away step by step. She was the one who had disappointed him time and time again.However, Whitney knew very well that she loved Sebastian.Now, the misunderstanding between her and Sebastian had grown deeper and deeper.The man who had treasured her so much and who had had eyes for no one else except her was now fighting for another woman.Whitney couldn't help bursting into tears. She felt very wronged."Sebastian, didn't you once say that you would only love me for the rest of your life? Why did you leave me and fall in love with a
Muriel laughed ferociously and said, "You can talk when you've survived, young man!" The soil bubbled and heaved.Corpse puppets popped up from the ground. They were completely decayed and smelled putrid.Sebastian frowned and looked grim as he looked around at the corpse puppets around him.At Muriel's command, the corpse puppets lunged fiercely at Sebastian. He shook his head, his expression turning cold. There was a terrifying energy around him.Gold bolts of spiritual energy flew toward Sebastian from all directions. As he moved his hands, the gold spiritual energy seemed to be guided by him, and they coalesced into gold charms in mid-air. "Shield against evil!" Sebastian yelled. He raised a hand and pressed down in the air!At once, the yellow charms made of gold spiritual energy shone brightly with a golden glow. They shot toward the corpse puppets.With a series of thumps, every yellow charm attached itself to a corpse puppet, sounding like metal crashing against metal
Immediately, the trees around them snapped in half!The corpse puppets did not have time to react. Their bodies were cut in half, too, and they fell to the ground as a cloud of dust.When the sword's energy had dissipated, Sebastian remained standing there, holding the golden sword of air. He walked toward Muriel step by step.Muriel was dazed with fear. She was trembling all over as she fell to her knees, staring at Sebastian as if he were some kind of god. She begged for mercy. "Dear sir, please spare my life, I'll…"There was a hissing sound. Sebastian had raised his hand and wielded the sword, and Muriel's head rolled onto the ground! Her eyes remained wide open in death.Sebastian tamped down his energy and exhaled. He stepped over Muriel's corpse and ran into the rundown church, where he saw Whitney with her hands and feet tied up."Whitney," Sebastian called out. He ran over and began to loosen the ties around her hands and feet.After he had undone the knots, Whitney hug
Robert laughed weakly and said, "I'm alright. Don't worry."Sebastian frowned as he walked toward him. He looked at Robert's injuries, and his expression turned grim."How could you say that you're alright? All your vital points are damaged. You'll die within three days," he said coldly. Robert just laughed.Janet's eyes widened, and she looked very anxious. Sebastian sat down and gestured for Robert to stick his hand out. "Let me examine you."He took Robert's pulse and discovered that there were several streams of energy ricocheting around his body.If it weren't for the fact that he had a strong foundation of inner strength, he would probably already be dead.Sebastian looked very serious and asked, "How many people did you fight against?""Not that many. Maybe seven or eight?" Robert answered casually.Sebastian's expression changed, and his brow furrowed. He said coldly, "Seven or eight?"Had Robert gone mad? Why would he fight against seven or eight people at the sam
Janet said, "I'm sure."She repeated Sebastian's explanation to Mike. "The Dreamfyre is a type of flower. It has an unusually large number of petals that have seven different colors, like a rainbow."The Energy Dew is the dew collected from 49 different types of medicinal herbs at the break of dawn, when the sun rises. It must be the drop of dew at the highest point, and it must not be contaminated with any dust." Janet glanced at Sebastian when she finished.On the other end of the phone, Mike's brow was tightly knitted. "The Energy Dew is easily attained. I'll buy ten herb gardens and send people to keep watch tomorrow morning. We should be able to get it by then."He added, "However, I really haven't heard of Dreamfyres before. Why don't you give the phone to Dr. Ballard? I'll talk to him."Janet assented and handed the phone to Sebastian, saying, "My lord, my father would like to speak to you."Sebastian took the phone. Mike sounded very apologetic as he said, "Dr. Ballard,
The next day, Sebastian and Janet had just stepped out the door to go to the airport when Sebastian received a call from Rosalie."Sebastian, tonight is the second round of the Good Crestborne Doctors selective trials. How are your preparations going?" she asked, laughing.Sebastian frowned and asked, "Is tonight the second round of the competition?""Yes, it is. You haven't forgotten, have you?" Rosalie asked.Sebastian's expression changed, and he said, "Alright. I'll be busy later, and I'm going on a trip to Drakestone. I'll try my best to get back in time. If I can't, then consider it as me forfeiting.""Forfeiting? Sebastian, you worked so hard to get into the second round. How can you just forfeit so lightly? What are you going to Drakestone for? Should I find someone else to go in your stead?" Rosalie asked, sounding anxious on Sebastian's behalf."I've got some things to settle there. No one can go in my place," Sebastian answered.He continued, "Alright, that's enough.
After Whitney left the airport and went to the parking lot, she saw Theresa. She was wearing a spaghetti-strap top, tiny black shorts, and sunglasses while leaning against the car door.When she saw Whitney walking over to her with reddened eyes, she frowned and asked, "Are you crying? Did that asshole Sebastian upset you?""No." Whitney shook her head and got into the car. In the car, Theresa asked in confusion, "Whit, I don't understand. Wouldn't it be a good thing if Sebastian forfeited? It would be beneficial for both you and Frostwave Corporation. Why are you against it?" Whitney exhaled and said, "Theresa, you don't understand. In the past, I thought of him as a useless burden. However, after we got divorced, I realized that Sebastian wasn't as useless as we thought." "And… I recently realized that I love him and that I've always loved him," she finished and suddenly burst into tears. Theresa frowned. She looked resigned as she pulled out a tissue and handed it to Whitn
"Who are you? What are you doing? Who allowed you to come in?" Dean said, eyeing Sebastian angrily.The entire building belonged to the Grandase Group. This was his territory, and he thought nothing of Sebastian at all."It doesn't matter who I am. Let me give you some advice. You can be unreasonable, but don't let your hands wander. Otherwise, you'll regret it!" Sebastian said coldly.Dean's gaze swept coldly over him before he looked at Rosalie and Whitney again. They should have found a more suitable bodyguard for themselves! Sebastian was dressed plainly and looked poor. He seemed the studious type. What else could he do except say a few tough-sounding words?"Guards!" Dean called out through his office door.In less than two minutes, six or seven burly guards arrived at Dean's office door, holding tasers."Toss this brat out!" he said, pointing at Sebastian.After he got rid of Sebastian, he could do as he liked, couldn't he?He had been lusting after Rosalie and Whitney
Sebastian's opponent had acted very fast."By the way, Whitney asked me to go and see them with her to negotiate. Do you have time? Will you come with me?" Rosalie asked, biting her lip.With Sebastian beside her, she would feel confident no matter what kind of unexpected situation popped up."Alright. I'll go with you and have a look," Sebastian said. He stood up and left the office with Rosalie.When they reached the foyer of Avis Building, the headquarters of Grandase Group, Sebastian immediately saw Whitney sitting beside a round table, looking very anxious. "Sebastian, Rosalie! You're finally here! Our products will be taken off the shelves this afternoon! What should we do?"Just last month, Whitney and Rosalie had invested the money that they had worked so hard to earn into the business. In order to expand production volumes, they had even specially bought a shipment of cutting edge production equipment from abroad.Once the factory and equipment was prepared and they we
The problem was that the strength of the Griffins' foundation in Steinberg would decide the fate of the Northmans as well. "What properties do I even own? I only have a convenience store. They can oppress it as much as they want," Sebastian said, smiling.The convenience store was just something Sebastian ran for fun when he had nothing to do. His fortune wasn't based on these properties at all. For instance, there were the pills he refined. Any of them could be sold at the high price of hundreds of millions or even billions. Even if his convenience store closed down, what did it matter? Bankrupt him? That was ridiculous. "It's not just a convenience store. There's Rosalie's entertainment club, the pharmaceutical factory in Northside, and Arctic Snow Group too. Aren't they all your properties? As far as I know, some people have already started taking action," Zane said nervously. "What?" Sebastian asked coldly, his eyes narrowing.No matter what those people did to him, he
"Let's go, you silly goose." Sebastian swiped Rosalie's nose lightly and strode in the direction of the parking lot.After standing in a daze for a while, Rosalie hurried to catch up.Once they were in the car, Sebastian projected his voice and told Kody and Branson to seal off the news. Anyone who breathed a word about what had happened that day would be killed without exception! After all, they had created a huge fuss that day. Sebastian wasn't worried about Yutaria or Sword Towers getting revenge because what would come would come in the end, and it couldn't be avoided.Still, he didn't want to attract too much attention, and he wanted to prevent all the martial arts practitioners from flocking to him to try and curry favor. It would be much too troublesome.Over at the venue, a decision was soon reached. Blake ended up being the new chairman of the Martial Arts Association. As soon as the news spread, it shocked everyone. However, those who had come to see the martial arts
Sebastian huffed coldly as his energy exploded around him. A terrifying, imperious energy began spreading out with Sebastian at its center.The air seemed to congeal around them. The vast force of energy seemed to be as deep as the ocean!Everyone's expressions changed drastically when they saw what was happening.Up in the stands, Trafford was aghast. He was very familiar with the energy that Sebastian was emitting—the Eldoria realm.The young man standing there was an expert at the formation phase of the Eldoria realm."You… you… you're a Cultivator?" No matter how dumb Ethan was, even he had realized what was happening. He and Sebastian weren't playing on the same field at all. Sebastian was starting out from a level that Ethan would never be able to attain in this lifetime."No! That's impossible! I'm the best out of the younger generation among the mystic martial arts! Even though I've tried to join the mystic sects a few times, I was ruthlessly rejected every time I tried
Sebastian glanced briefly at Derek, who was half-dead. Then, he looked up at Grant, Frederick, and the others in the stands, who had all turned pale with fright. "You should have gone the same way as they did," he said coldly. "However, since you're Warrior League apprentices, Madam Dragon can decide on your fate."Belinda looked gratefully at Sebastian. He had shown the Warrior League great respect in not executing Derek and the others on the spot. He had preserved the last vestiges of the Warrior League's dignity.Sebastian pointed at the podium, where Ethan looked very nervous. He asked coldly, "Didn't you say that you wanted to battle to the death with me? Get down here and get ready to die!"Ethan swallowed and trembled as he swallowed the Solpill. His energy suddenly multiplied tenfold, and in the blink of an eye, he had a terrifying energy that was equal to that of someone at the most advanced stage of the Celestial realm.When Ethan felt the limitless power inside him, he
"You were given the name because you look like beasts!" Sebastian jabbed his finger again and cut off Emil's arms.Emil could barely breathe from the pain. He was no longer arrogant at all."Oh right. What did you say you were?"Emil shuddered at the sound of Sebastian's icy voice. Before he could recover, Sebastian pointed at his abdomen.A hole appeared in Emil's stomach from the force of Sebastian's finger. The bloody hole the size of his finger began spurting blood. "As you wished, your blood will soon form a river." Sebastian laughed coldly as he pulled out a silver needle and stuck it into one of Emil's major acupuncture points. As the silver needle pierced him, Emil's nerves were stimulated, and the blood began gushing at twice the speed.When Emil felt himself rapidly losing blood, he turned white with fright. Sebastian was going to let him bleed to death."Sebastian, you— I won't forgive you even if I become a ghost! I… I want to go to the embassy—"Sebastian slappe
Everyone there was shocked at what they had just seen.What was going on? Had the Yutarian beast gotten kicked in the head by a mule? Why would he have summoned a bolt of lightning to strike himself?"What the heck? The Yutarians have weird fetishes.""That's not surprising. It fits them."The audience began to murmur, their speculation running wild.However, Emil was in no mood to listen to them. He had even begun to suspect that Sebastian wasn't human.He, Devin, and Magnus were all experts renowned for their ferocity. However, they had all been thoroughly beaten by a young man in his 20s. They hadn't even gotten a chance to retaliate.That didn't make sense at all!All three of them were covered in blood, but Sebastian was spotless. There wasn't even a speck of dust on him!If Sebastian had defeated them in martial arts alone, they would have accepted it. However, Emil had just used a Shendo technique!So many of Dramon's martial arts experts had been killed by his Shendo
This wasn't just the difference between them in training. It was also about battle experience.After all, Magnus, Devin, and Emil weren't inexperienced nobodies. All three of them had been through hundreds of battles and were very experienced.However, they were as defenseless as a baby when faced with Sebastian.But… Sebastian was so young. How could a young man in his 20s have such extensive battle experience? Not only that, his calm and assured demeanor wasn't something that could be faked."How is this possible?" Trafford's pupils constricted as he murmured to himself in disbelief.Kody laughed wryly and said, "That day in Pill Valley, we reacted the same way you did. We didn't want to believe all of this was true, but look!"Branson sighed softly and said, "Mr. Callahan wasn't just utterly destroyed in pill refining. He couldn't retaliate at all in mystic arts or martial arts either."Trafford's shock and alarm reached its peak. Sebastian walked out of the dust and smoke
