Rosalie's question made Sebastian nervous. He immediately looked at Whitney. Whitney looked extremely unhappy as she stared at Rosalie, who was holding Sebastian's arm. She felt that it was a gesture of dominance!Meanwhile, Fergus hurriedly explained, "Not yet—"He knew that Whitney didn't accept him yet. However, before he finished speaking, he felt someone hold his arm. Whitney had linked arms with Fergus!Then, Whitney raised her chin and happily said to Rosalie, "Yes. We're looking for a newlywed home as well."It was just linking arms. Rosalie wasn't the only one who could do that.That was what Whiteny seemed to be conveying with her actions. Fergus' heart skipped a beat when he heard what Whitney said. The next moment, he smiled and straightened his back. Putting his hands in his pockets, he looked at Sebastian arrogantly. He seemed like a smug peacock. Instantly, the tension in the air heightened. Although the two women appeared to be smiling, they were actual
Whitney paused slightly. She didn't say anything and walked past Sebastian with a snort. Then, she left the sales center. Fergus hurriedly ran after her and yelled, "Wait for me, Whitney."Watching their retreating figures, Rosalie heaved a sigh. Then, she looked at Sebastian and tucked her hair behind her ear. "How was my performance just now, Dr. Ballard? Did it help to vent your anger?" she asked, smiling. Her actions were extremely seductive to other men. However, it meant nothing to Sebastian. He shook his head and sighed. "You don't have to do that. Nothing is going on between Whitney and me. She's also not the type to give up so easily. The more you provoke her, the more she wants to compete with you."Rosalie shrugged. "It's fine. I've never lost before."Sebastian simply smiled and shook his head. Then, Rosalie fluttered her lashes and smirked mischievously. "Dr. Ballard, what would you do if Ms. Sutton was really searching for a newlywed home with Fergus today?"
"Moreover, a plant in our family started wilting. It's going to die soon. And if that wasn't enough, a statue of Mother Mary suddenly split open earlier on. That's a really bad sign!" James exclaimed. After hearing that, Sebastian's frown deepened. The black cats jumping into a well was an unlucky sign. It meant that two family members would die. Moreover, a plant wilted meant that the Turners' luck would be gone. As for the cracked statue of Mother Mary, it signified a huge misfortune befalling the family's younger generation—there would be no more successors to the family!Sebastian wondered who the Turners had provoked to encounter so many troubles. "Dr. Ballard, can my family be saved? Though I'm not a very kind person, I've never done anything tremendously evil before. I've always done charity work. Please save my family, Dr. Ballard …"James was really scared, so he began begging Sebastian. After thinking for a while, Sebastian said, "How about this? Let me check ou
Sebastian and Rosalie arrived at the Turner residence. Once they stepped out of the car, Sebastian was stunned by the geomancy of the house. It was in a very lucky position!The natural scenery of the place exuded luck everywhere. If one lived there, they could prolong their lifespan and grow their wealth. Moreover, it was evident that a geomancy master designed the house. There were two stone gargoyles outside the house, which guarded the luck in that area. Yet, Sebastian noticed a problem. It seemed that the luck in this area had been used up. In fact, the geomancy of the area was changed!It became a place filled with negative energy!A huge reason for that was due to someone else's actions. Was someone targeting the Turners?Sebastian frowned. He entered the courtyard with Rosalie. However, once they entered the place, Rosalie felt an eerie atmosphere around them. It was cold and seemed to be filled with negative energy. "Dr. Ballard, the Turner residence is wei
Henderson had many achievements in geomancy. Moreover, he possessed a high status in the city. Many people called him "Dr. Lerry".However, Henderson was very humble and told others to call him "Mr. Lerry" instead. Unexpectedly, Thomas was able to invite him that day. Henderson smiled calmly. He waved his hands and replied, "You don't have to be so polite. I came here today to solve the geomancy problems in your house."After that, he looked at Sebastian disdainfully and chuckled. "But before that, I'll have to give you some advice, Mr. Turner. You can't trust the words of this young fellow."I haven't heard of an Evil Eye Curse before. That's complete nonsense!"James frowned. He didn't know who to believe. "Mr. Lerry, I've seen how capable Dr. Ballard was before. I don't think he's a charlatan," he hurriedly explained. "Hmph! Since you don't believe me, it's fine. I was just reminding you out of goodwill," Henderson replied. Sebastian frowned, then scrutinized the other
Rosalie nodded. Then, she immediately yelled at Henderson, "Hey, Lerry, Dr. Ballard said you aren't entirely right! The vases aren't the main problem."Everyone in the living room fell silent. The Turners and Henderson looked at Sebastian strangely. Among them, Henderson looked the most unhappy. Thomas was the first person to scold Sebastian. "You bastard! Do you have any right to speak here? Don't pretend to know everything when you don't! That way, you won't embarrass yourself!"Meanwhile, Henderson snorted unhappily. "You're too ignorant! How could you claim that I was wrong? You're trying to draw attention to yourself. But you've made the wrong decision!"Then, James hurriedly said, "Dr. Ballard, Mr. Lerry seemed correct just now. I don't think he said anything wrong."Sebastian's lips curled into a faint smile. "Mr. Turner, I've already said what Mr. Lerry said wasn't wrong. There is something wrong with the placement of those vases."However, he isn't entirely correct. The
The household staff were panting and sweating while they asked James that question. Meanwhile, Sebastian didn't reply. James looked at the calm Sebastian and asked, "Do we still have to dig deeper, Dr. Ballard?""Do you believe that man, Mr. Turner? Even if we reach the bottom, there might not be anything down there!" Henderson piped up unhappily. Yet, Sebastian said, "Continue digging. I'll take responsibility for any issues that will arise.""That's bullshit! Do you think my family will be fooled by you?" Thomas roared angrily. Meanwhile, James frowned. He said, "Continue digging!""Grandpa, do you really believe that scammer?" Thomas asked. James glared at his grandson. "Shut up! If you keep talking, I'll lock you up for three months!"Henderson smiled and said, "You have a good temper, Sebastian. Since you want to keep digging, I'll continue watching till the end! If something really appears, I'll ask you to become my mentor."Sebastian simply grinned without speakin
James was scared out of his wits, his features turning pale as he collapsed on the ground with a thud. "Please, Dr. Ballard, save the Turners!" he shouted. The entire Turner family was now panicking, hastily dropping to their knees and collectively pleading, "Please, Dr. Ballard, save us!"Seeing Sebastian hesitate, James barked at Thomas, who was still standing beside him, "You beast! Kneel and apologize to Dr. Ballard!"Thomas finally came to his senses, his face filled with fear. He hurriedly knelt, bowed his head, and cried, "D-Dr. Ballard, I was blind and ignorant. Please, sir, have mercy and save me. I don't want to die. I don't want to die!"Thomas was frightened to tears.Watching the entire Turner family kneeling and pleading, Sebastian sighed and said, "Since fate has brought me here, I will naturally lend a helping hand."Subsequently, Sebastian spent half an hour using a protective charm to dispel the cursed energy from the four cursed objects and ordered them to
Sebastian had been planning on telling Whitney about what had happened last night, but after thinking about it, he decided not to do so. "No particular reason. You've just been working so hard lately, and I want to give you a little gift. Well? Do you have time?" Sebastian asked impassively.Whitney was delighted. Had Sebastian had a change of heart?She immediately answered, "Okay, wait for me at the convenience store. I'll get ready and be there in half an hour."Although she had said that it would take half an hour, she arrived at the convenience store entrance in less than 20 minutes.Sebastian told the rest of them briefly about where he was going before he grabbed a jacket and got into the car."Sebastian, when are you going to stop looking this unkempt?" Whitney asked, smiling wryly when she saw that Sebastian was wearing a trench coat that he had bought several years ago. With Sebastian's current fortune, it would've been nothing for him to go around laden with jewelry
Whitney had been under a lot of pressure lately. On the one hand, she was very busy with the expansion of the pharmaceutical factory, and she had to do everything on her own. On the other, watching Rosalie and Sebastian act lovey-dovey with each other every day was also a form of torture to Whitney."I trust you. No matter what happens and when it happens, I'll still trust you," Rosalie said earnestly as she looked into Sebastian's eyes. Sebastian nodded. He stretched and said, "It's getting late. You and Whitney should get some rest. I've got to go back to the convenience store.""It's so late. Don't go. Why don't I sleep with you?" Rosalie winked at him.Sebastian glanced down at Rosalie's enormous chest. The problem was that time waited for no man. Sebastian had to think of a plan before the Sapientia members came to get revenge. Otherwise, any neglect on his part could result in a huge mistake. He wouldn't allow himself to commit such an unforgivable mistake. "No, I've g
Phineas watched Sebastian and the others leave, feeling anxious. His features were twisted into a frown. Ezekiel and Keanu were both dead. This was extremely big news!Besides, it had taken place in Steinberg, which was under Phineas' jurisdiction. If the Martial Arts Court asked about it…Phineas didn't dare to pursue his train of thought further. This wouldn't do! How could he bear the storm of anger that was sure to come?Therefore, he said quickly to the chauffeur, "Hurry! Go to Ventus Estate."Phineas immediately headed to Ventus Estate and asked to see Belinda. When he told her about everything that had happened that night, even Belinda's brow furrowed tightly. Ezekiel's death didn't matter, as Belinda could smooth things over with just a word. The problem was that Keanu was one of the apprentices of the three major elders in the Sapientia. Sebastian being responsible for his murder was equivalent to making himself the enemy of the Sapientia. Even Belinda didn't have mu
At Keanu's age, he no longer placed any importance on pride. What mattered most was being able to continue living. Even Phineas was shocked when Keanu knelt. After all, he was the Keanu Norris!With a single thought, the countless shadows behind Sebastian disappeared at once, while he appeared in front of Keanu."Didn't you just say that you would destroy my whole family?" Sebastian asked coldly."I… I would never dare to do so!"Keanu broke out in a cold sweat.Sebastian was already so powerful despite being so young. It had made Keanu think of a name that everyone in the Nine Sects was terrified of—the Sacred Medicine Society! The only reasonable explanation was that Sebastian was from the Sacred Medicine Society! At the very least, he was probably an apprentice of someone mysterious in that sect.Sebastian slapped Keanu and asked icily, "Do the Sapientia have privileges?"Keanu shook his head hastily, and blood trickled out of the corner of his mouth. Sebastian's slap had
Keanu was furious. This was the first time someone hadn't trembled after hearing his name, especially when it was a young man in his 20s!"Since you know my name, aren't you going to admit to your crimes and accept your punishment?"Phineas hastily approached him and said, "Mr. Norris, this—"Before he could finish, Keanu silenced him with a slap, sending him flying eight feet away.Phineas saw stars, and he struggled for a while on the ground, unable to get up.Sebastian glanced at Phineas and said coldly, "Norris, apologize to him now and it won't be too late. Otherwise, your luck ends here!"Keanu glanced at him and said, "You brat! This day next year is going to be your death anniversary. If you have any last words, say them now!"Keanu slowly pulled out his sword and pointed it at Sebastian."Last words?" Sebastian scoffed and strode forward. In the blink of an eye, he was right in front of Keanu.He had moved so fast that it surpassed Keanu's imagination. How could a you
Phineas had wanted to arrive first so he could stop Sebastian from killing Ezekiel."So what if he's Ezekiel's mentor? Does that mean that the Sapientia can do as they please without getting punished?" Sebastian asked icily.Phineas broke into a cold sweat and said, "Mr. Ballard, it's not wise to offend Mr. Norris. He's in the top 100 of the Nine Sects. You might not understand the difference here, but Ezekiel isn't even in the top 5,000."Sebastian scoffed. "Well, I'd like to meet Mr. Norris, then. I want to see just how impressive he is."He wasn't the only one who was highly skilled. He also had Lyanna and Nina with him. Even if a deity had come down to the earth, Sebastian would have wanted to meet them, let alone Keanu.As they spoke, a black car stopped at the entrance to the estate. An old man with a white beard who was dressed in red Dainist robes got out of the car haughtily. As he walked into the estate, he shouted, "Ezekiel, come out here on your knees to greet me!"
Sebastian smiled slightly and asked, "You understand now, don't you? Purity isn't a sword that anyone can use. If you want to use it, you must first be strong enough."As he spoke, Sebastian spread his fingers out, and Purity flew back into his hand as if it were alive.The moment it landed in Sebastian's palm, lightning crackled along its blade, and it emitted a pale blue glow again. That was the moment when Ezekiel realized that the problem wasn't with Purity but with its wielder.Ezekiel couldn't help staring at Sebastian in shock. Wouldn't that mean that Sebastian's powers were above those of the Sapientia's leader?"If you understand, you can also go and die now."Sebastian smiled thinly and waved his hand. A bolt of lightning shot forth. With a dull thud, over a dozen heads fell to the ground at the same time. Percival and his men collapsed alongside them.After that, Lyanna and Nina worked together. Apart from a few local Warriors from Steinberg, all the Sapientia's ap
At that moment, all Percival could think about was ensuring his survival.Sebastian glanced coldly at him and smiled. "Mr. Chard, that's not what you said before."He had no intention of letting Percival and the others leave alive.Maximus was just a clown at most. Even if he was permitted to leave, he couldn't endanger Sebastian, Whitney, or Rosalie. Percival and the others were different. They were used to throwing their weight around. Although they had submitted to Sebastian today because of the circumstances, they were sure to hold a grudge against him for it.In the future, the lives of those around Sebastian would be threatened the moment he let down his guard."Mr. Ballard, I really was talking nonsense. You're our league leader. I'll be sure to keep our agreement from now on," Percival said, groveling so hard to Sebastian that he grazed his forehead. Blood trickled down his cheeks."Mr. Ballard, we made a mistake too! We… we all came because we received the Martial Go
"The person who's going to kill you!" Lyanna answered, smiling calmly at Ezekiel.The elite martial arts families and the members of the sects from Steinberg had all retreated far away in fear. Unfortunately, the space in the yard was limited, and they were soon backed into a corner with nowhere else to go.While they cowered in fear, Nina turned into her true form. A huge snake reared up more than 40 feet in the air and began voraciously devouring the corpses on the ground, its red tongue flicking in and out. The estate had become a living hell.Percival wet his pants in fear. What was going on? This wasn't how things were supposed to go at all!Shouldn't they have brought the women with Sebastian over here and forced Sebastian to hand Purity over before slashing him to death? After that, they would have divided Sebastian's women and assets among them!Why were they the ones being slaughtered and eaten instead?"M-Mr. Harton… what should we do?" Percival stuttered.He was tru
