Whitney was taken aback by Jace's question. Before the meeting, she had thoroughly prepared and organized all the product information and market feedback for Iceheart facial masks into a neat file. She never expected him to be interested in the Goldcrow pill.After a brief pause, Whitney tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and smiled. "Mr. Beckard, the Goldcrow pill is a recent development. I was in such a rush that I forgot to bring it along. But don't worry, I'll have someone bring it right away."She then turned to Mabel and said, "Mabel, please hurry back to the office and have Theresa bring a box of the improved Goldcrow pill over as soon as possible."Mabel nodded and quickly left the room.Whitney took a sip of hot water and asked, "Mr. Beckard, does Bashmore Group also have interests in the pharmaceutical industry?"Jace smiled faintly, shaking his head and tapping his teacup. "Ms. Sutton, that is not the case. Recently, my grandfather's health hasn't been great, so
Jace frowned and asked, "Gandolf, what's the problem? Is there something wrong?"Gandolf let out a cold snort and sneered, "Mr. Beckard, they're trying to fool you."What?Theresa was puzzled.Whitney's heart sank. It was clear that Gandolf was no ordinary person. He had likely discerned something.Unwilling to back down, Mabel asked, "Sir, what evidence do you have for saying this?""Evidence?" Gandolf laughed. "Even if your research team had another five hundred years, they wouldn't be able to come up with such a complex formula!"Turning to Jace, Gandolf continued, "Mr. Beckard, the original formula for this Goldcrow pill is a culmination of the greatest achievements in traditional medicine. Without a thousand years of heritage from a prestigious medical family, it's impossible to create such an intricate formula!"Hearing this, Jace narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Whitney. "Ms. Sutton, if your company cannot even ensure basic honesty, I think we should reconsider our
Back at the club, Jace toyed with the Goldcrow pill in his hand, his gaze intense as he stared at it. "Gandolf, do you mean to say that Sebastian might come from a prestigious medical sect?""Not just any medical sect. He's likely a successor of the Sacred Medicine Society," Gandolf replied with hatred in his eyes.Gandolf was from the Witch Sect and had once been an elder. Over ten years ago, the Sacred Medicine Society had commanded several sects to attack the Witch Sect, destroying centuries of heritage in a single blow. Had Gandolf not hidden in the pond behind the mountain, he would not have survived. Every time he thought of the massacre, his hatred for the Sacred Medicine Society would increase.…Rosalie decided to take a rare day off and drove Sebastian to the city center. She then dragged him into an international, well-known men's fashion store.Half an hour later, Sebastian loosened his tie and smiled wryly. "I really can't get used to these clothes. They're too re
Among Jerry's dubious friends was Logan Steele, who was Andon's top fighter. And Andon was on par with Hans in terms of influence. With Logan backing him, Jerry was confident that dealing with a nobody like Sebastian would be a piece of cake. This could be his stepping stone to gaining favor with the prestigious Beckard family and inheriting his family's business.Growing more excited, Jerry called a waitress over. He whispered some instructions and then hurried to the manager's office to call Logan.Meanwhile, Sebastian and Rosalie were engrossed in ordering their meal. They didn't even notice Jerry there. Rosalie ordered a lavish spread from the menu."Hmm, this should be enough for now. Oh, and bring us your best bottle of red wine," she said, handing the menu back to the waitress with a happy smile directed at Sebastian."How are we supposed to finish all this?" Sebastian asked with a helpless smile. Rosalie had ordered three different types of steak, leaving him a bit sp
Rosalie was not one to be easily bullied. Earlier, she had chosen to be polite as she didn't want to ruin her special day with Sebastian. But that did not mean she would tolerate being mistreated."200 thousand!" The waitress crossed her arms and sneered. "What's the matter? Can't afford it?""You have to pay no matter what," she added arrogantly.Sebastian overheard the commotion at the door and looked over. His face darkened as he saw Rosalie being confronted by the waitress."Rosalie, what's going on?" he asked as he walked over."It's nothing," Rosalie replied, her expression hardening. "This waitress bumped into me and now wants me to pay for the broken glasses.""Don't lie! You didn't watch where you were going and bumped into me, which then caused the glasses to break. Don't push the blame on me now!" The waitress continued to shout, pointing at Rosalie.Sebastian frowned and said, "There should be surveillance cameras in the restaurant. Let's check the footage."The men
The sound of the slap reverberated through the restaurant. Not only was the manager completely stunned, but the waitress was also frozen in shock. The onlookers around them collectively gasped.The waitress wasn't lying with what she said earlier; the owner of Amor Dream Restaurant was indeed on good terms with Logan, who was Andon's top fighter. Sebastian seemed very bold to create trouble here."You've got a lot of nerve to hit our manager. Today, if you don't leave a hand behind, don't think you'll walk out of here alive!" the waitress shouted angrily at Sebastian while helping the manager off the ground."Oh dear, you've really stirred up trouble. This restaurant isn't one to be messed with. Just a few days ago, someone got their arm broken for simply saying that the borscht here didn't taste right!" A middle-aged man nearby quickly and quietly advised, "You'd better apologize."Sebastian sneered. If it weren't for Amor Dream Restaurant's poor customer service, he would
Across the street in a café, Fergus watched the scene unfold through the window, sneering."Sebastian, so what if you know Hans? Andon is on the same level as him. Even if Logan can't touch you today, you'll have thoroughly crossed Andon."Since Fergus had experienced Sebastian's prowess last time, he was afraid of him. He no longer dared to confront Sebastian head-on but still engaged in underhanded schemes.This time, for instance, even though he knew Jerry and Logan might suffer, it didn't matter. He was willing to risk Jerry's wrath if he could set up a conflict between Sebastian and Andon.…"Andon? Is he really that impressive?" Sebastian sneered coldly.Sebastian had heard Hans mention Andon before, but such a minor figure didn't even register on his radar. However, Rosalie's face showed a hint of worry. She knew Andon's reputation as the only person in Steinberg comparable to Hans. He was notoriously difficult to deal with, and crossing him would undoubtedly bring tro
There was nothing Logan couldn't handle in Steinberg. Even if he couldn't, Andon could."What a joke. There's nothing I can't manage in Steinberg," Logan said disdainfully.Jerry chimed in angrily, "Go on then, ask everyone you know to come here. Let me see who dares to mess around here.""As you wish." Sebastian took out his phone calmly and called Hans. Then, he gave Eugene a call.The third call was for Mike, who had been in Steinberg to check up on Black Tiger Martial Academy these past few days.They were all stunned when they received Sebastian's call. They wondered who was so bold as to offend him in Steinberg."Logan?" Mike frowned after he hung up. He had never heard of this person before; he was probably a nobody.However, since Sebastian had personally called him, Mike knew that he wanted to show his power in Steinberg. Of course, he wouldn't allow anybody to offend Sebastian.He stood up and told his two bodyguards, "Order the entire members of Black Tiger Martial A
"What did you do to them?" Saul asked fearfully at the sight of Caleb and Reuben's bloodshot eyes. The veins on their heads and necks were bulging. "I've heard that the man with the most willpower in the world can endure this for seven minutes. That's the limit for a human. I wonder whether these Juwanian beasts can break that record," Sebastian answered, clasping his hands behind his back and looked down at Caleb and Reuben.Caleb's body curled into a ball but stretched out all of a sudden as he continued to convulse on the ground.Reuben jolted from time to time, and in less than two minutes, he began bleeding from his ears and nostrils."You're crazy! You've gone mad! Pull out the silver needles on their bodies at once!" Saul was beside himself with anger. He shot forward to pull out the needles for Caleb and Reuben.However, although he moved fast, he was sent off even more quickly. Before he could even touch Caleb, Sebastian sent him flying with a kick.Saul rolled over the
The most extreme pain in the world was the pain of bones breaking. Reuben had been lucky enough to experience that pain more than ten times within a very short period of time.If Sebastian hadn't pierced him with that needle, Reuben would have gone mad with the pain.However, no matter how much he struggled and yelled, Sebastian just acted as if he couldn't hear him. He continued to step all over Reuben's body impassively.Every time his foot landed on a spot, it was accompanied by the sound of bones cracking and shattering.The entire yard was silent except for the howling of the wind and the sound of Reuben's screams, as well as the shattering of his bones.As everyone watched him silently, even the Yvantonian Warriors who had tried to stop Belinda and the others previously couldn't help shuddering. They felt as if they were being tortured the way Reuben was. A female reporter squeezed out of the crowd and said in a trembling voice, "Oh, please! Please have mercy on him. He… H
The hundreds of Yvantonian Warriors standing in the center of the yard couldn't help but gasp. Just how strong did Sebastian have to be to pull off Caleb's arm with his bare hands?Sebastian looked so thin and frail. He didn't look strong at all."You! Stop it right now!" Saul shouted, rushing forward to stop Sebastian.Before he reached Caleb, Sebastian turned sharply. There was a cold, murderous look in his eyes, and it frightened Saul so much that he skidded to a halt."Do you have anything to say?" Sebastian asked frostily. Saul swallowed and mustered up his courage. He yelled angrily, "You can't treat Caleb like that! He's the bishop's—"Before he could finish, Sebastian slapped him. There was a loud smack, and Saul was lifted off his feet with the force of it. He spun in the air before falling onto the ground."You're so noisy!" Sebastian dusted off his hands and turned to walk toward Reuben.Reuben had wet his pants in fear when he saw Sebastian pulling off Caleb's arm.
Sebastian didn't even need to use the Indigo Thunder God tactic to deal with Caleb and Reuben. With their powers and level of skill, they were no match for him at all, not even if there had been ten of them.Caleb ran toward him and suddenly picked up speed. The curved sword in his hand gleamed coldly as it aimed for Sebastian's left rib cage. At the same time, Reuben wielded his sword and thrust it at Sebastian's right rib cage. The two of them attacked from both left and right simultaneously, but Sebastian just stepped forward at a measured pace. It looked like a leisurely move, but one step brought him over 20 feet away. Caleb and Reuben's curved swords had been about to slice into Sebastian when he suddenly disappeared from their sight. The two of them stopped quickly.However, they were still a step too late. They had been using so much force that their curved swords clashed against each other, throwing up sparks. It was clear that they had used all their strength to try
Reuben and Caleb burst into gleeful laughter. If not for Belinda's answer, they wouldn't have been so bold. Belinda sneered as she looked at the shameless men. She decided inwardly that they would only live for another three days!However, just as Caleb and Reuben thought they were safe, Sebastian strode forward and said calmly, "You don't have to regret it. I can fight against the two of you on my own. Not only can you wear brass knuckles, but you can even use daggers or swords. I'm alright with anything."The smile on Saul's face froze."Madam, didn't you agree that the martial arts battle has ended for today?" Saul demanded, pointing at Sebastian.Belinda smiled slightly and said, "Like you said, he's not part of the Warrior League. What right do I have to stop him?"Saul was rendered speechless.Sebastian wasn't part of the Warrior League, and he had said so himself. Belinda didn't have any right to stop Sebastian.Caleb clenched his teeth and exchanged looks with Reuben.
Saul grinned triumphantly. He hadn't expected Blake to throw down the dagger at all. He had only stepped forward to stop the battle so that he could stall for time.Blake's wound was bone-deep. Since he had pulled out the dagger, the wound was bleeding continuously. Losing too much blood could be fatal to a Warrior.He was unwittingly helping Caleb gain an advantage."Ha! Die, Dramonian!" Caleb exclaimed. He strode forward and struck a punch. A gleam of silver shot toward Blake's chest.Although Blake didn't know what the shining object was, he could feel a sense of extreme danger. He dodged quickly to avoid Caleb's punch.However, he did not dodge quickly enough, and it grazed his abdomen. He felt a piercing pain at once, and Blake realized that Caleb was wearing brass knuckles.However, the brass knuckles were different from ordinary ones. There was a steel needle that was about an inch long on the middle finger.Blake said angrily, "Caleb, you are shameless! How can you wear
It was just the second attack, yet Blake had managed to injure Caleb so severely.Caleb clutched his left rib and bent over. It wasn't an act, because Blake knew how much force he had used in that move. He had broken at least two ribs with that punch.Ordinary people couldn't endure the pain of broken bones, especially if the ribs had been broken with blunt force. It would be extremely painful.Blake smiled slightly and asked, "You think you can injure Mr. Parham and get away with it? Hmph!"With a wide grin, he cracked his knuckles loudly. As Caleb watched Blake slowly walk over to him, he begged for mercy, his face twisted in pain. "Don't kill me! I didn't do it on purpose! Please spare me!"Caleb backed away as he spoke, but Blake was unmoved. His mission was to kill Caleb.As Blake moved closer, Caleb couldn't back away any further. When he was backed into a corner, Caleb's eyes widened with fear as he stared at Blake, walking toward him with deliberate steps.Everyone was
Caleb and Reuben were delighted at what Belinda had said. However, Saul shot them meaningful looks. Did they really think the Warrior League was easy to deal with, even without Sebastian?The Warrior League was filled with experts. If the two of them fought against them rashly, they would be sure to die."Wait!" Saul stepped forward to block Gary and the others."What now?" Belinda asked coldly."There are so many of you. If all of you fight against them while saying that it's a one-on-one battle, no one could withstand that! We need to set a limit, at least," Saul said seriously."We'll only fight three battles," Belinda said calmly.That meant that the Warrior League would only send three people, while Caleb and Reuben couldn't have anyone helping them.In other words, it was three against two. Still, they had to accept those conditions. It was the best they would get.Otherwise, Belinda only had to give the command and it wouldn't be a one-on-one battle, it would be a bloo
"Forget it. Since you didn't die, we won't pursue the matter further with you. We've already enjoyed that young woman anyway, so we won't punish you for your crime," Reuben said, grinning scornfully.They could tell that Belinda and the others had turned up in such a large group to get revenge on them.However, they had special identities. Would Belinda be bold enough to offend two hugely influential forces in Yvanton for the sake of an old man?Was the Warrior League really powerful enough to offend Yvanton? Besides, the Juwanian bishop in Yvanton was also renowned in the martial arts community."If the two of them have done anything disrespectful to the Warrior League, I apologize on their behalf. Yvanton is willing to compensate you for what happened today. You can name your price," Saul said seriously.Even he believed that Belinda and the others wouldn't dare push for revenge now. After all, who would dare to kill Jorvahn's grandson?Belinda scoffed. "So what if he's the Juw
