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 was 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, squatted down, and began to loosen the ties around her hands and feet.After he had undone the kno
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
"Sebastian Ballard," Sebastian answered. A murderous look filled the woman's eyes. "According to Ms. Bourne's command, I must kill you!" There was a flash as she thrust the dagger toward Sebastian's chest, moving as fast as lightning. "Oh, my lord! Be careful!" Janet cried out in shock. She wanted to stop the woman, but it was already too late. The dagger whistled violently through the air, and it was clearly a powerful strike that was as strong as that of a Grandmaster! Janet could not understand. Sebastian had only said his name. Was it really enough to merit murder? Sebastian was unruffled. He moved aside slightly and dodged the woman's dagger. "How dare you dodge?" The woman had not been able to strike him, but she turned and aimed for Sebastian's waist. Sebastian had not been planning to fight. After all, he had had no choice but to terminate the engagement back then. Plus, he had come to ask for a Dreamfyre. However, as his opponent seemed intent on attacking him,
Sebastian looked around at all of them. It was the grid formation that the Garden of Bloom used in battle."My lord, I… I'm scared…" Although Janet did not know how powerful the grid formation was, she could sense the murderous intent around them. She was so afraid that tears had pooled in her eyes."It's okay. I'm here." Sebastian patted Janet gently on the shoulder and comforted her.Callista looked coldly at Janet, who was hiding behind Sebastian, and scoffed. "Sebastian, you didn't insist on terminating the engagement for this slut, did you? It seems like you don't have much taste. Do you have a penchant for ugly women?"Janet had been cowering in fear, but the moment she heard Callista, her gaze sharpened and she was immediately furious. Women hated being called ugly, fat, or old!"You little—" Janet was about to lose her temper, but Sebastian waved a hand and stopped her. "Callista, let me explain. There was a reason for what I did back then—""Stop talking nonsense! Ge
The Trigram Grid was quite formidable. Sebastian had experienced it four years ago. He would have been able to break through it at the time, but he had refrained from doing so because of how much he had humiliated the Garden of Bloom already. At the time, Sebastian had chosen to flee. It was the last vestige of pride that he had allowed the Garden of Bloom to have.Today, he had no choice but to take action for Robert's sake. A dagger flashed in front of Sebastian, but this time, he did not retreat. He struck swiftly at a woman dressed in pink who was standing in the formation.She was the center of the Trigram Grid formation!As long as the center was incapacitated, the formation would no longer be able to amplify the skills of the people in it. The women would scatter like sand and be forced to fight individually. He was fast! Too fast!All they could see was a shadowy figure, and before the woman dressed in pink could react, she had already been rendered unconscious by S
