"Just a few of you and you think you can kill me? You're not quite there yet." Sebastian looked at the old man calmly.The old man flicked the sword with his finger while his eyes flashed coldly. "This is the funniest joke I've ever heard. Do you know who I am? I'm Rivia!"Sebastian narrowed his eyes slightly. The old man before him ranked seventy-sixth on the Dramon Assassins List! Ordinary people couldn't even dream of hiring someone of his caliber, let alone know about the existence of such a list."The top hundred experts on the Assassins List aren't a big deal. Tell me, who sent you to kill me? Maybe I'll spare your life."Sebastian slid his foot on the ground and left a series of afterimages as he shot toward Rivia with lightning speed."How dare you!" A nearby man in black flicked his wrist, and a dozen fine needles shot out!Sebastian paused slightly and raised his hand to release a burst of spiritual energy. Several sparks burst out three feet behind him, and the needl
Sebastian did not pause. He charged at the remaining two men with lightning speed.Two more muffled sounds followed as the two men fell decapitated before they could even scream.Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Even Rivia didn't have time to intervene, and all four of his subordinates were already dead."Now it's just you. As I said, tell me who sent you or I'll leave you in pieces!" Sebastian stepped toward Rivia with the short sword."Impressive! No wonder the person who wants you dead spent a fortune to hire us. You truly surprised me."Rivia slowly raised his sword with his wrist trembling slightly. Then, swords of air bloomed from nowhere.A few swishes waved through the air, and the swords of air wove together like a net, enveloping Sebastian.Sebastian smiled coldly and used the Seven Star Path again to weave through the swords of air.Within three steps away from Rivia, Sebastian flipped his wrist and sent a strike toward Rivia's waist.The strike landed, b
Teleportation might be tricky, but it was not without its flaws.Back in the day, when Sebastian challenged the 36 Sects of Martial Arts, he encountered similar experts. After several close encounters with the man, Sebastian identified his weakness. Each time the man used teleportation, he ended up within five steps of Sebastian. During this brief moment, it wasn't that he didn't want to attack Sebastian, but he simply couldn't. In other words, each time he used teleportation, there was a short window where he was vulnerable, and Sebastian only needed to seize this opportunity to land a fatal blow.With this realization, Sebastian moved again.Rivia sneered and shook his head with contempt. "Even if you cut me a thousand or ten thousand times, you won't hurt me."As soon as he finished speaking, he used teleportation once more. But just as he thought he had escaped, a pair of large hands suddenly appeared behind him.Rivia's face changed drastically when he felt his collar bei
"The… Slaughter Gods—" Before he could finish, his voice abruptly stopped.Sebastian glanced at Rivia, who had died from excessive blood loss, and sighed helplessly. He then turned and walked back toward the convenience store.As soon as he returned, Rosalie hurried over. Seeing the bloodstains on Sebastian's hands, she exclaimed, "Sebastian, are you injured? Let me see!"She anxiously grabbed Sebastian's hand as she spoke."I'm fine, it's not my blood," Sebastian said gently to Rosalie.Despite his reassurance, Rosalie insisted on getting the first aid kit and carefully checked him over. Only after confirming that he was unhurt did she relax.Robert, who was at the counter, chuckled and said, "Don't worry, a few petty thieves can't hurt Sebastian."Sebastian shot him a glare. "I've traveled far to help you find medicinal herbs and you don't even care if I live or die?"Robert grinned, pulled Sebastian to the door, and whispered, "I know you quite well. However, you need to be
Under the cover of the night, a pair of cold eyes stared intently in the direction of the convenience store. After watching Sebastian close the door, a middle-aged man dressed in a black tactical jacket and carrying a shoulder bag took out a phone and dialed a number.After a while, a cold voice came from the other end of the line, "Baelor, how's the mission progressing?"Baelor replied in a low voice, "The intel was wrong! Rivia and the four others are dead. I'm afraid I can't complete the mission alone."The other end of the line fell into a deathly silence. Although Rivia wasn't one of the top assassins of the Slaughter Gods, he was certainly a significant and irreplaceable force. According to the information provided by the Beckard family, the target was just a young man in his 20s, supposedly at the mid-level of the Supreme Grandmaster stage. For Rivia, killing ten Sebastians should have been more than enough. Could the Beckard family have deliberately withheld informat
Before Sebastian could explain, Janet quickly ran back to her car. He sighed as he watched her retreating figure. It wasn't what she thought at all. He simply wanted to focus on preparing the Domian Elixir in peace. Shaking his head, he looked across the street again and sensed that the faint killing intent had completely vanished.Rosalie quietly approached Sebastian from behind and wrapped her arms around his waist while gently stroking his chest. She whispered softly, "I can't sleep alone. I want to sleep with you."As she spoke, her hands tightened around his chest. Feeling the soft pressure from behind, Sebastian couldn't help but feel a rush of blood.Who could resist this?He quickly removed himself from Rosalie's embrace and gently stroked her hair. "You go rest first. I have something important to take care of."After speaking, Sebastian averted his gaze from Rosalie's passionate eyes and turned to place the wooden box Janet had brought on the table. Rosalie, feelin
In an instant, nearly everyone's attention was focused on Sebastian. Online discussions about him surged."Who is this guy? Even Dr. Smolder, the towering figure of Dramon's traditional medicine world, kneeled to him and called him his mentor!""Didn't you watch the live stream that day? He diagnosed a patient just by feeling the pulse through a thread. It was spot on!""Yeah, I also heard he developed the Arctic Snow Mask, which has had incredible results!""Arctic Snow Mask? Wasn't there a scandal about that a while ago?""Scandal? That was purely a scheme by some malicious people. My wife uses that mask, and it's amazing! Her freckles of over twenty years disappeared!"Soon, due to Sebastian's sudden rise to fame, the Arctic Snow Mask also gained rapid popularity across Crestborne. With Triston's public endorsement, many wealthy ladies and socialites who previously used high-end foreign brands eagerly sought out the mask. In just three days, the Arctic Snow Mask faced an
"Watch your language, Mabel!" Whitney's face showed clear displeasure. "This isn't the first time you've undermined Sebastian in front of me. Sales rely on word of mouth, not manipulation! Focus on our marketing strategy instead!"Mabel's face stiffened, showing a hint of resentment. "Ms. Sutton, you're too kind! That jerk has been targeting us from the start! Have you thought about why the Arctic Snow Mask was trailing behind just days ago, and now it's tied for the top spot?"Whitney asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why?""Because of the traditional medicine competition!" Mabel pulled out her phone and opened web pages filled with praise for Sebastian. The coverage was especially focused on Triston's public gesture of respect, which had skyrocketed Sebastian's reputation in the field of traditional medicine.In the comments section below, almost all were about Sebastian personally developing the Arctic Snow Mask for Rosé Corporation. Some even uncovered the romantic relationship bet
"What is your name, sir?" the bodyguard in the lead asked, smiling as he handed Sebastian a cigarette."Sebastian Ballard." As there was a child in the car and the windows were all closed, Sebastian waved the cigarette away."I've never heard of you before!" The bodyguard gave him a name card and said, "My name is Daxton Haddock!"Sebastian took the name card and smiled at Daxton. "I'm not from Boren. I just came here for a trip to Mount Quiln."Daxton was startled. Although the area around Mount Quiln was a popular tourist area, strange things had been happening there continuously since autumn the year before. No one had come there for a holiday for more than half a year."Mr. Ballard, are you confident of being able to save Ms. Candy?" Daxton asked rather worriedly. After all, even Solomon had said that there was no cure for a condition like hers. Sebastian was a young man in his 20s who looked very confident. It was hard not to be doubtful.Sebastian shook his head slightl
Solomon became agitated when he heard that Sebastian wanted to go to the abandoned mine. He tried to dissuade him. "You must not put yourself in danger, my young friend. Even others would have run into ghosts if they didn't heed warnings."The young man glanced at Solomon and said, "Dr. Jackman, they all say that you're a kind-hearted person. Why are you stopping others from trying to save Ms. Candy when you refuse to do so yourself?"Solomon turned red and sighed. "There was a huge mining accident there 30 years ago, and it's always been tainted with evil. To tell you the truth, my younger brother also didn't heed the warnings and—"Tears slid down Solomon's cheeks. Solomon's younger brother had endangered himself ten years ago to try and cure someone's illness. However, he had been carried back on a stretcher three days after that.He had been in the same state as the little girl and Candy. His eyes had been vacant, and he had neither eaten nor drunk nor slept. After just three
"Yes, we have. Mrs. Wilham from our village is a medium, but she says that she can't cure this child and asked us to look for someone else," the middle-aged woman said and started crying again."What else did she say?" Sebastian asked, bending down to look carefully at the little girl.The middle-aged woman hesitated for a long time before she stuttered, "Actually… Mrs. Wilham says that t-there's no hope for our child anymore! She can only live three more days at most!"Before the middle-aged woman could finish speaking, there was a screech of brakes outside the door. Right after that, there was the sound of hurried footsteps, and over a dozen young men in suits barged in."Which of you is Dr. Solomon Jackman?" the young man in the lead yelled urgently.Solomon answered quickly, "It's me!"The young man waved quickly at the people behind him and said, "Hurry!"Soon, a young woman who was about 20 years old was carried inside.The young woman was pretty, and she was wearing clo
The two apothecaries immediately tossed their brooms aside. One helped the middle-aged woman to open the door while the other took the child from her arms."Time to see a patient, Dr. Larsen!" one of the apothecaries called out to an old doctor as he carried the child inside.The old doctor pushed his glasses up his nose and eyed the mother and daughter. He walked slowly over to the consultation table and sat down."Don't worry, ma'am. What's wrong with the child?" the doctor, Ellis Larsen, asked the middle-aged woman. At that moment, Sebastian and Unus walked into Townsend Clinic together. On the way there, Sebastian had remained focused on the little girl because the look in her eyes was highly abnormal. "Doctor, I don't know what's happened to her. She hasn't eaten or drunk anything since last night, and she doesn't say a word no matter what I ask her. All she does is to stare vacantly into space!" the middle-aged woman said tearfully to Ellis. Ellis couldn't help drawing i
Javier had gone to Sunway for a meeting and was not in Acorn City. Whatever the old man said would be representative of Javier. "Mr. Gabbard, we can't let him go!""Yes, Mr. Gabbard. He's caused such a fuss at the Martial Arts Court that he should at least get both legs broken before we can let him go!""Besides, he injured Mr. Lynch! How will we explain to Mr. Berkeley when he gets back?"A few of the younger deacons protested. "I've already said that these two gentlemen may leave. Anyone who tries to stop them will be executed without mercy!" Cohen Gabbard was furious. Didn't these idiots know how to read the room? Did they have to carry out flattery no matter what the situation was?Didn't they know who the minced meat all over the floor belonged to? Who else could they be except the missing deacons?No matter how they had done it, someone who was able to smash a living person into mincemeat must be extremely powerful indeed. Even if they tried to tie Sebastian and Un
There was a dull thwack. The deacon in the lead didn't even have time to turn and escape before he was squashed into mincemeat by a single punch from Unus. Gleaming blood and flesh scattered everywhere. The rest of them tried to escape when they saw what had happened, but their speed couldn't compare to that of Unus. Before they could get to the door, Unus' fist had already reached them.There was a series of thumps as four or five deacons were all crushed. Blood and lumps of flesh fell all over the floor. The smell of blood hung heavily in the interrogation room.Jayden and Bryson cowered in a corner, trembling.Unus couldn't be human! How could it have reduced a live person to mincemeat with just one punch?As Jayden and Bryson looked on, Unus walked up to Sebastian expressionlessly. He raised his hand and tugged lightly on the chains that bound Sebastian tightly. They immediately broke into numerous pieces.Sebastian stood up and stretched before walking in Colton's directi
"Mr. Lynch! Are you alright?" The deacons surrounded Colton at once.Colton had been very unlucky that day. Not only had Sebastian beaten him half to death, but he had even been injured in the head once again by him, even though Sebastian was chained. When Colton noticed how much he was bleeding, he lost it completely. "Kill him!" he roared in fury, looking crazed. The deacons exchanged looks. They knew how skillful Bryson was. However, Bryson was unable to stand against Sebastian, and it made the deacons even more afraid to move forward.Although Colton was the heir of the Lynch family, it wouldn't be worth getting their arms and legs broken by Sebastian just to flatter him. "Go and get him, damn it! I'll give you money! Each person will get one million. Beat him to death!"Colton was very agitated. He yelled at the top of his voice at Sebastian while pointing at him with his crutch. As the saying went, there would always be a hero when there was a big reward. Upon hearin
A faintly murderous light flashed in Sebastian's eyes, and the deacons felt a chilling murderous energy. The deacon who had been pointing at Sebastian with a steel rod couldn't help stepping backward. He took a long time to recover. Sebastian was bound tightly in chains that were as thick as a man's thumb, and he had been cuffed to the steel chair. There was no way that he could fight back at all.The deacon felt annoyed at being scared by someone in that state, and he pointed at Sebastian with his steel rod again and shouted, "You must be tired of living, you brat! How dare you say Mr. Wentworth's name?""Even Joaquin wouldn't dare to speak to me in that manner," Sebastian said calmly.If Joaquin knew that Sebastian had been arrested by deacons from the Mount Acorn Martial Arts Court, he would kill them all without hesitation!"You're very arrogant! Mr. Lynch specifically mentioned this object. I'll give you five thousand dollars, and you can send it to him. Do you have any obje
"You said that Mr. Lynch wanted to take something that belonged to you. Where is the object?" the deacon in the lead asked, sneering. Sebastian pointed at his shirt pocket and said, "Here!" The deacon pulled out the emerald buckle from Sebastian's pocket. He weighed it in his hand and waved at the other deacons, saying, "Take him away!"When Jayden saw that Sebastian had been marched off by deacons from the Martial Arts Court, he called an ambulance for Colton. Luckily, Colton was from an elite martial arts family. Despite being spoiled, he had at least trained in martial arts, which was why he wasn't as frail as an ordinary person would be. Otherwise, he would have succumbed to his injuries long ago.Bryson and the others were also carried into the ambulance by the medical staff. Solomon sighed as he watched Sebastian leave. Although the Martial Arts Court appeared to be upholding the law, they were actually in cahoots with the Lynches. Now that Sebastian had been taken by t
