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
Before Logan even had the time to recover from his shock, another frightening figure appeared at Amor Dream Restaurant."Mr. Targery?"Logan might have been scared moments ago, but now, he was completely terrified. Eugene was a powerful and scary figure in Sunway!Right now, Logan had already cursed Jerry in his heart ten times over. If not for him, would he even offend these people?Jerry promised that Sebastian was just a nobody!Eugene didn't even bother to look at Logan. He walked over him and stood right in front of Sebastian. "Mr. Ballard, there was a traffic jam out there. Hope I'm not too late."Sebastian nodded without saying a word. Eugene then stood behind him.Jerry stared at Eugene and the guards dressed in black around them. He was scared out of his wits.He imagined a scenario where Sebastian was the one begging for mercy. How did he manage to call all the big shots here? Who exactly was Sebastian?Then, he suddenly realized something. Sebastian created a scene
"Pay you? Keep dreaming!" Kayden roared. "I'm telling you, even if I were to set fire to this entire building, no one would dare to make me pay a penny! Smashing this tiny hotel up is nothing!" He continued, "You came at just the right time. Today is the day I'm going to show you how I have some fun with your lady!"Kayden suddenly had an extremely evil thought. He would make the men from the law enforcement hall restrain Sebastian before he stripped Nina naked right in front of him. He was thrilled at the thought, and he was getting even more exhilarated. It wasn't the first time he had done such a thing, but he had never toyed with a woman as beautiful as Nina. The thought of having such a beautiful woman under him filled him with excitement. "Oh? Do you really think that you can do as you wish with such a small number of men?"Sebastian's gaze swept over the men from the law enforcement team. Over half of them had participated in wiping out the Lynches, and they were dee
Kayden grinned slyly as he spoke. The reason he hated Sebastian so much wasn't only because of how badly the latter had beaten him up. What was more important was why someone like Sebastian would have such a beautiful woman with him!Kayden was the heir of the Berkeleys. He was the most influential heir in the whole of Acorn City! When compared with Nina, Candy was practically a country bumpkin. Kayden couldn't stand the drastic difference between the two women. Didn't all beautiful women like rich men?Shouldn't beautiful women be vying for the attention of wealthy heirs instead?Sebastian was just a charlatan who went around tricking people! How could he have such a beautiful woman as his companion?Kayden was determined to make Nina one of his conquests by the end of that day so that she could see how impressive he was. Even if Sebastian died, Kayden wanted to make sure to cuckold him even in death!"Mr. Berkeley, t-this isn't appropriate!"Although Rocco did not know
Not long after Kayden had reached the Aequor, over a dozen ambulances pulled up opposite the hotel and waited there. "Rocco, get out here!" Kayden yelled toward the manager's office as soon as he reached the restaurant on the third floor. Rocco had received the news as soon as Kayden walked into the hotel. He had been scared witless when he saw Kayden storm in. Sebastian hadn't been back for two nights. He might have been killed by the Berkeleys! Without Sebastian's support, how could Rocco oppose them?To Kayden, killing Rocco would be as easy as crushing a bug. "What should I do, what should I do? Oh God, oh holy mother of gods! What should I do, damn it!" Rocco ran wildly around his office. He didn't even know which god to pray to for protection. "Rocco! If you don't get out here, I'll burn your office down!" Kayden shouted once more. Rocco's heart almost stopped at the mention of fire. He pushed the door open quickly and scurried over to Kayden. "Mr. Berkeley, plea
Kayden soon received news of how Sebastian had broken into the Berkeley clan hall the night before.He was furious. Who did Sebastian think he was? Was the Berkeleys' clan hall the kind of place that people could just walk in and out of as they pleased?"Mr. Berkeley, shall we go and see the clan hall later? After all, Ms. Candy is still there," Jayden said in an ingratiating tone.He had only managed to latch onto Kayden through his connection with Colton. This was a rare opportunity for him to make a comeback.That was why he had spent quite a large sum of money on Kayden recently. He had already gifted him over a dozen high-quality emerald pieces.Kayden wouldn't have been impressed by him if he hadn't done so."Do we need to? Sebastian is sure to die this time! Rocco is annoying me more right now. How dare he neglect me just because he thinks he's found a strong ally in Sebastian?"Kayden had seen clearly how obsequious and respectful Rocco had been to Sebastian while ignori
"You've done many evil deeds, and it's time for the Berkeleys to be destroyed!" Sebastian exclaimed. He summoned back his 18 clones with a single thought while he raised Purity. "No!" Violet screamed at the top of her lungs.There was a dull thump, and a head flew high into the air. A dark energy that looked both like a snake and like a human shot out at once. Sebastian wasn't going to let her have a chance of escaping. He tossed out four yellow paper charms at the same time. They formed a Nullcurse Spell and trapped both of Violet's souls within it."When I say die, I mean that your soul and spirit will be destroyed! You won't have a chance at finding another host!"Sebastian raised his palm and upturned it slightly as he said, "Destroy!""Sebastian, you'll come to a tragic end!"There was a blast as countless bolts of gold light burst forth and pierced the dark shadow, which looked both like a snake and a human.In the blink of an eye, the dark figure had disintegrated in t
In the end, even the scales on Lucius' body had been swiped off by the blows. Huge pieces of scales were torn off his body along with his skin and flesh. With every piece of scale that was torn off, he let out a bloodcurdling scream."Aargh! Please have mercy! I won't ever act recklessly again! Have mercy!"Lucius was now completely bloodied from the beating he had received. He was covered with wounds that went deep to the bone, and he was bleeding profusely. Even Violet couldn't bear to look at him.He no longer had the dignity of the ancestral being of the Berkeleys, and he had lost his domineering air. "You won't? Hmph! What are you going to say about that snake curse in her, then?" Sebastian asked, pointing at Candy. Lucius almost burst into tears. He didn't know anything about what they had done to Candy. Besides, once the soul of a snake began to merge with that of a human, they would become an entwined soul.He had only ever heard of a secret art that could separate an e
Lucius panicked at once. His clones couldn't make different moves, but Sebastian's attacks were all coming from different directions. How could he dodge them?A bolt of blue light slashed down on the head of one of Lucius' clones. He dodged to the side quickly while leaping up to dodge the other five swords. However, before he could land, he spat out a mouthful of blood.Although his original form had escaped from harm, his clones had been killed immediately. Although they were only his clones, they were very closely connected to his true form because of how truncated his Cloning Technique was compared to the original. That was why the backlash was particularly strong when his clones were killed."Just one move and both are already dead? Your Cloning Technique really isn't much!"Sebastian's 18 clones had surrounded the severely injured Lucius and were covering over a dozen different directions."How could this be? How could you have such an orthodox Cloning Spell passed dow
"How is that possible?"Lucius looked as if he was in disbelief when he saw that Sebastian had cut through the coal-black silk threads so easily. Sebastian appeared in front of him in an instant, and he raised Purity to slash at him.Right at the moment when the sword energy was about to touch Lucius' clothes, the air around them seemed to ripple violently. Lucius shot backward several feet as if he were a phantom, and he dodged Sebastian's attack."You're truly extraordinary!"There was a gleam in Lucius' dark eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to blur out of sight before splitting into three identical figures! Even the coal-black knife in his hand was exactly the same. "You didn't expect that, did you, young man? That's our lord's secret cloning technique!" Violet laughed triumphantly. Sebastian now had to fight against three on his own, which would be certain to end in his death. So what if he could break through the binding of the coal-black silk threads?
The handsome youth's name was Lucius Vipera. He grinned evilly and said, "You're the first person who's had the guts to insult me. You will pay!""My lord!"Violet hastily bowed to Lucius, too afraid to even look up at him.Lucius ignored her and strode toward Sebastian."Young man, you are extraordinary. To have accomplished so much in your 20s isn't an easy feat. If you apologize to the Berkeleys and promise to never oppose us again, I can consider letting you go today!" he said coldly in a manner that brooked no argument. Sebastian scoffed and shook his head as he said disdainfully, "You're not also planning to make me grovel to you in apology, are you?"While they all looked on in shock, Sebastian seemed to flicker out of focus, leaving behind a line of shadows as he rushed toward Lucius.Lucius narrowed his eyes and huffed coldly. "With your paltry skills, are you really going to—"Before he could finish, Sebastian's slap landed. There was a cold flash, which Lucius has
