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
James smiled.One had to admit that the older he got, the more astute he became. On the surface, he asked Sebastian about his knowledge of the project. But in reality, he wanted to know about Sebastian's stance on Frostwave Corporation.If Sebastian and Whitney were still married, James, upon learning about their relationship with Frostwave Corporation, would have pushed to continue the project, even at a loss.However, with their divorce, the situation became more complex.It was as if the decision-making power had been handed over to Sebastian.Sebastian slightly furrowed his brow, pondering the situation. He said, "Mr. Turner, would you mind showing me the project proposal?""Of course," James said, signaling Heath to hand the document to Sebastian.After glancing through the papers, Sebastian furrowed his brow. This project was his brainchild, focusing on the research and development of beauty and anti-aging products.He even formulated a beauty and anti-aging pill for it
When Chet and the lackeys looked more closely, they saw that the car parked in the distance was a personal car and that there was a gorgeous woman sitting inside it.They were delighted at their good fortune. This was an opportunity they could not miss!As they were in such a remote area, they barely ever saw any women, let alone a beautiful one like Rosalie.Therefore, Chet gave the order, and the thugs all surged forward. They were barely able to contain their excitement."Hello, beautiful. What has upset you so much at this late hour? Tell us about it. Even if we can't make you happy, you can make us happy!" The short, fat man in the lead reached out to pull Rosalie's car door open as he spoke.Rosalie was beside herself with fear. She hastily locked the car and pulled her phone out of her bag as she screamed loudly at the men outside her car. "What do you want? Stay away from my car, or… or I'll call the police!"The fat, short man glanced at Rosalie, who looked frightened an
Sebastian heard Rosalie sobbing behind him. He turned around abruptly, but Rosalie rushed over to him and slapped him in the face before he could explain."Sebastian! I rushed over here as soon as I heard that something had happened in Steinberg! You… You're a jerk!" Rosalie was weeping. She had been planning on telling Sebastian on the day of the martial arts battle about the good news of the huge order that Arctic Snow Group had received from Lorcan. However, while eavesdropping on a conversation between Oliver and Belinda, she found out about the huge commotion over in Steinberg.When she heard that all eight of the Celestial realm experts that the Warrior League had sent to protect Whitney had all been killed and that the latter had disappeared, Rosalie couldn't contain her anxiety.She had rushed back to Steinberg at once.When she found no sign of Sebastian at the Moonlyte Club, she had come to the convenience store instead.She saw that it was lit up and had run straight
Hank and Taylor broke out into a cold sweat when they saw what had happened. Terence was like a god to them!Who would have thought that Terence, who had had the upper hand just a moment ago, would have stood vacantly on the spot just because Sebastian had thrust the rusty bronze mirror at him? He had just stood still and waited for Sebastian to come and kill him!"Run, hurry!" Before he could think too much about it, Taylor growled in a low voice and turned to flee to the foot of the mountain.Hank only came to his senses when Taylor was already far away from him. He was about to go after him, but he had only gone a few steps when a ghostly, feminine figure appeared and blocked his path."You—" The moment Hank turned, his soul almost left his body from fright at what he saw.Only a moment had passed since Terence's murder, but the eerie woman in front of him had already cut off more than a dozen heads. Whenever she cut a head off, dark energy would be sucked into her emerald
Terence wielded his sword. Wherever the blade pointed, the air was sliced apart instantly!Sebastian forced himself to concentrate and raised his sword to shield his chest!There was a clang as Terence's sword crashed down on Sebastian's, and sparks flew up at once. Sebastian couldn't help but take a few steps back. He felt the energy roiling inside him and almost spat out a mouthful of blood."My lord!" Nina felt extremely anxious when she saw that Sebastian was at a disadvantage. She ignored Sebastian's previous command and leaped over to him to hold him up. "My lord, are you alright?" Nina asked in concern. Sebastian was slightly flushed, and he looked as if his energy was becoming erratic. He shook his head slightly and pushed Nina away. He handed Whitney to her and said, "Protect Whitney well. If anything happens to her, come and see me with your head!" Nina turned to Rose, who was beside her. She wanted to protest, but Sebastian waved a hand and said, "Lyanna was hur
"It's a pity that you'll never understand," Sebastian said.Terence's face flushed. Who would've expected a young man in his twenties like Sebastian to be so perceptive? He was even more advanced than Terence in the Way of Wisdom!"My lord, I was trapped in the front yard just now. No matter how I walked, I couldn't get through the door. That's why…" Lyanna trailed off and hung her head, looking shamefaced.Technically, she was a spirit. How had she fallen prey to the Bewitchment spell? Even Lyanna was puzzled."It's the Soulbell!" Sebastian turned abruptly to look at Terence.Lyanna felt that she couldn't have been trapped by the Bewitchment spell because she didn't actually have a body. Meanwhile, Nina was a thousand-year-old snake deity, and ordinary formations couldn't contain her at all.Therefore, there was only one possibility. Terence had external help. The Soulbell was the only possible explanation.Nina and Rose arrived as well."Protect Whitney," Sebastian said befor
Sebastian eyed the middle-aged man and laughed coldly. "You surprised me too. Do you want to be a sacrifice for my sword?"Sebastian gently shook Purity, which he was holding. Immediately, it felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck the entire yard!Hank and the others began mocking him at once. "Ballard, you are bold out of ignorance. Do you know who is standing in front of you? Let me tell you, it's the seventh elder of Sword Towers, Mr. Manderly."One of them added, "Consider it an honor for you to be killed by Mr. Manderly."Sebastian raised an eyebrow and squinted at Terence as he said, "If I'm guessing correctly, Nina and the others must have fallen into your trap. That's why they haven't arrived yet. Right?""You're observant!" Terence smiled faintly and said, "If you hadn't stepped into Draconem Cathedral right before I did, you would be stuck in a Bewitchment trap, just like them."Honestly, it's a miracle for someone of your age to have this level of training. However,
While Taylor stood there, stunned, Sebastian bore down on him. Upon seeing Sebastian raising his fist to hit him once more, Taylor hastily pulled himself together and met Sebastian's punch with his own."Are… Are you all stupid?" Blood was seeping out of the back of Taylor's hand as he looked at the people behind him."You've always liked fighting alone, Taylor. We were afraid that we would spoil your fun." Despite what Hank said, he turned on his heel and sent a spinning kick at Sebastian to block his path.Sebastian felt a strong force rushing toward him, and he immediately stopped in the midst of pursuing Taylor. He moved aside and aimed a roundhouse kick at Hank. Yet another wave of energy exploded, and fear flashed across Hank's face. The blow had seemed plain, but it embodied the mysterious principles of martial arts.Even an expert who was two levels higher than Hank would have had his bones broken by that kick, let alone someone who was only at the first level of the Ce
The building where Whitney had been imprisoned was now as bright as day as the spotlights shone on it.Sebastian untied her calmly and helped her up to walk out. "Sebastian, forget about me. I'm only going to be a burden to you, and I'll only hurt you." Whitney was already very weak. Even walking seemed very difficult for her. There was no way that they would be able to escape the clutches of the people around them in her current condition. Sebastian sighed. "I see that you still don't trust me." Despite this, there was a gentle look in his eyes when he looked at her."Sebastian, I—" Before Whitney could finish, Sebastian put a finger to her lips to shush her."Let's go out," he said in a tone that brooked no argument. Whitney was startled for a moment and was about to break free of Sebastian's support when a large, firm hand gripped her arm tightly. Sebastian walked out of the cramped meditation building with Whitney by his side, looking upright and noble next to her."I
"My lord, are you going to Draconem Cathedral?" Nina and the others hastily ran to catch up when they saw Sebastian walking quickly downstairs."My lord, if we rush there overnight to rescue Whitney, we might be walking into a trap. If so, the consequences will be dire." Lyanna tried to persuade him.It would be hard to win when there were so many people on the other side. Even if they were all at the fifth level of the Celestial realm, it didn't mean that the other side would not have any experts.Besides, the terrain around Draconem Cathedral was very complicated. How could they be sure that the enemy had not set a trap there?"We must rescue Whitney today," Sebastian said heavily."My lord, the area around Draconem Cathedral is very dangerous," Nina said. "If we fall into a trap set by Sword Towers, we won't be able to rescue Ms. Sutton. In fact, we'll be putting her in more danger.""I can't bother about all that. Even if I have to walk through a sea of fire, I must rescue Wh
