"Mr. Beckard, what's the matter?" Gandolf asked in concern when he saw Jace's livid face.Jace remained silent for a moment before answering, "Sebastian is not a simple guy."Then, he explained the whole situation to Gandolf."It seems he is indeed not one to be underestimated. No wonder Mr. Stephen ended up this way," Gandolf said.He continued, "But this doesn't mean there's nothing we can do. In my opinion, since Andon lost to him now, we can use him in the future."The best way to deal with underground thugs was to make them backstab each other.Jace's eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily. "Then I'll have to thank Sebastian for giving me a free pawn. Come, find a way to contact Andon and ask him to see me!""Got it!" one of the guards responded before walking out of the room."Mr. Beckard, I have an idea to force Sebastian to his own end.""Oh?" Jace was immediately interested. "Gandolf, just tell me directly. I will do as you say." Gandolf then whispered his plans into
Andon sat on the couch and eyed Jace. "Mr. Beckard, why are you helping me?"Jace didn't try to hide anything and told Andon about Stephen's situation. However, he skipped parts that were not beneficial to the Beckard family."Sebastian really is audacious. How dare he cause trouble even in Janover?" Andon said aloud. Secretly, he wondered how the Beckard family's influence could possibly let Sebastian escape so easily."Yes, indeed. Unexpectedly, we didn't obtain favorable evidence. Otherwise, how could Sebastian roam free? But these things aren't important. What matters is our future cooperation." Jace's words dispelled Andon's inner doubts."Mr. Beckard, there are some things you may not know. Sebastian has quite a few connections. Even Sunway's most famous martial arts academy is working for him. I appreciate your consideration, but…"Andon smiled wryly and continued, "I'm afraid I might disappoint you. With my abilities, causing trouble for Sebastian is akin to seeking deat
"Ms. Sutton, bad news!" Whitney was preparing for the industry conference when Mabel suddenly rushed into the office."What's wrong?" Whitney's heart sank when she saw Mabel's pale face."The Goldcrow pill… killed someone!"What? Whitney was so shocked that her pen fell to the floor.How could this possibly happen?Moreover, Frostave Corporation had been selling Goldcrow pills modified by Theresa."What's going on?" Whitney asked and stood up, her voice trembling.Frostwave Corporation was a pharmaceutical company, and the Goldcrow pill was something the company had been working on with great efforts recently.Nothing bad could happen at this time!Once news of Goldcrow pill resulting in death was released to the public, Frostwave Corporation would be doomed.Additionally, the industry conference was going to take place in two days. For something to happen at this time was definitely a big blow to Frostwave Corporation.Mabel took a few sips of water to calm herself down
It was what confused Jonah the most. "I'm not sure about the specifics, but I believe that you definitely have the medical skills needed to save this patient. As long as he's safe, we are willing to pay ten million in consultation fees!" Whitney said in a low voice, clenching her fist. Ten million wasn't a small amount, but it was nothing compared to Frostwave Corporation's reputation!As long as they could save the reputation of the Goldcrow pill, Whitney wouldn't even hesitate to pay 20 million."Ms. Sutton, I may not be your best choice. Mr. Ballard's medical skills are at a level that I could never hope to reach. Why don't you ask him for help?" Jonah had his own considerations.After all, the prescription of the Goldcrow pill originally belonged to Sebastian, and he would know best about what kind of treatment would suit the patient.Although Sebastian and Whitney were divorced, it was clear that Sebastian still had friendly feelings toward her. Jonah also wanted to use th
The argument between Whitney and Lincoln drew the attention of several passersby. As things were spiraling out of control, Whitney hastily smiled and said, "Mister, don't worry. We will take complete responsibility for the patient."Besides, I've already asked the most famous doctor in Steinberg, Dr. Pike, to come and treat your father. We—" Before she could finish, Lincoln slapped her across the face. She stumbled backward, and luckily, Mabel caught her before she fell.Whitney touched the vivid handprint on her cheek, and her eyes filled with tears. She took a few deep breaths, forcing herself not to cry."How dare you hit her?" Theresa's expression turned icy when she saw Whitney get hit. She pushed Lincoln forcefully away and said icily, "The patient still has a chance to live. Even if anything does happen, it's no excuse for you to assault anyone! I'm warning you. I can sue you for aggravated assault because you slapped her!"Besides, Ms. Sutton isn't trying to shift the
"Huh? Isn't that Ms. Sutton from Frostwave Corporation?" A sharp-eyed reporter recognized Whitney at once.As he spoke, the reporters around them surged forth like a hive of bees, raising their cameras at Whitney."Ms. Sutton, we heard that this old man is in critical condition because he took the Goldcrow pill manufactured by your company. Is there anything you'd like to say?""Ms. Sutton, I remember you saying at the Goldcrow pill product launch that it can cure anything. How do you explain the old man and his current condition?""Ms. Sutton, the Goldcrow pill has now caused a major case of medical malpractice. Will Frostwave Corporation continue to sell it?"The reporters' questions grew increasingly vitriolic, and Whitney did not know how to answer them."I'm very sorry, Ms. Sutton is here to see the patient. Frostwave Corporation will not make any statements to the public for now. Please move aside!" Mabel pushed aside the reporters at the front, and Theresa and Whitney sl
Whitney had turned pale with fright. She hurried forward and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, Dr. Pike?" Jonah looked serious as he said softly into her ear, "Hurry and get Mr. Ballard. Otherwise… the patient is sure to die tonight!""I'll stall the patient's family for as long as I can. If you can't get Mr. Ballard to come, I'm afraid…" Jonah trailed off into silence. Whitney froze for several seconds before turning toward the door and rushing outside. Theresa and Mabel caught up quickly when they saw her leaving in such a rush.When they got into the car, Theresa asked in confusion, "What's the matter, Whit? Dr. Pike—""Dr. Pike wants us to get Sebastian. He says that the patient is not going to survive past tonight!" Whitney's hands tightened on the steering wheel."What? Why should we go to that loser? Dr. Pike isn't joking, is he?" Mabel asked, frowning. She felt that if Jonah couldn't save the patient, Sebastian would definitely be of no use.Although Sebastian
Whitney was confused by what Theresa had said. She asked in confusion, "I don't know what you mean.""Why don't you understand? If the Goldcrow pill kills someone, Frostwave Corporation's reputation will be severely damaged. As long as Frostwave Corporation becomes bankrupt, you'll have no choice but to get back together with him and live an indolent life like him!"Mabel nodded vigorously at Theresa's analysis. She said, "No wonder he gave the prescription to me so readily when I asked him for it! He must've been plotting this from the start! Ms. Sutton, he's such a terrible man!"Whitney said nothing. Although she looked calm, her heart was in complete turmoil!Was what Theresa said true? Had Sebastian been planning this from the start?No!No matter what, Whitney refused to believe what anyone said. As long as Sebastian could give her a logical explanation, she would forgive him for anything, no matter what he had done!However, she sincerely hoped that he wasn't that kind of
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
