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
Sebastian turned to look at Whitney and smiled bitterly as he said, "If you really did trust me, you wouldn't be asking. Go ahead. Is there another problem?"Whitney heard the icy tone in his voice, and she saw how distant his eyes were as he looked at her. She felt a bitterness in her heart.Was Sebastian still the man who had obeyed her every whim and always showed her the most tender care?"Sebastian, we were together for three years. Do you really have to treat me this way?" she asked.Then, she added, "Yes, I admit it. There's been another little problem, and I do need your help. But before all that, I just want to know if the Goldcrow pill prescription is yours or not."I won't blame you no matter how you got your hands on it. Even if I lose everything, I just want to get back our—"Before Whitney could finish, Sebastian waved a hand and said, "Stop talking. The past is the past, and we don't need to bring it up."Whitney stared dazedly at him, and her eyes grew wet. "Se
That was what gave Theresa her confidence."So? What are you trying to say?" Sebastian said coldly.Theresa snorted and said, "I just want to tell you that what you just said is ridiculous. The only thing that needs to be done to save the patient is to clear his vital points and neutralize the medicinal effects in the patient's body." Sebastian sneered and said, "Fine, go ahead and do it then. What vital points should be pricked? How many inches should the needles be plunged in? Didn't that damn professor of yours teach you that?"Don't even try to lord it over me with your PhD in medicine! Even the foreign trash who taught you traditional medicine is worth less than shit to me, let alone you! "How can you use medical equipment to test the principles behind traditional medicine? Leave! I won't be sending you off!" Sebastian turned and walked behind the register. He didn't even want to look at Theresa."You—" Theresa turned red, then white. Sebastian could insult her, even h
Sebastian nodded slightly and got up. He said, "Alright. I'll be right back."He walked out of the store and disappeared into the night.As she watched him leave, Janet asked in confusion, "Ms. Griffin, I really don't understand. Why are you so nice to Whitney? You're rivals in love."Isn't it a good thing to let Frostwave Corporation close down because of this medicine issue? Besides, with this as a barrier between them, she'll never remarry Dr. Ballard."Even Janet, who was an outsider, could see very clearly that Whitney was letting her defenses down to Sebastian. It was clear that she wanted to patch things up with him.Anyone who was in Rosalie's shoes would never let Sebastian help Whitney.Rosalie smiled and shook her head as she said, "No, I'm not helping Whitney. I'm only giving Sebastian freedom."The relationship that I truly want is one that has no sense of restrictions and is free of any verbal threats. If I force him to stay with me, neither of us would be happy."
Sebastian nodded slightly. Yorrick had probably killed the young man because the latter was proficient in mystic spells and was already on the brink of the threshold. That could be the only reason for Yorrick's senseless deedThere were some people who couldn't bear seeing people who were stronger than them, which was why they made their move before their opponent could grow and develop."Are you really going to concede three moves to me, old man?" Sebastian stepped forward, grinning."Of course!" Yorrick answered, staring arrogantly at him.He still hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary with Sebastian, so he assumed that Sebastian was just an ordinary guy. He had probably only been able to defeat so many experts—including Egbert—because he had used some kind of trick. Egbert had lost because he had fallen into Sebastian's trap, not because of the latter's skills. That was why Egbert ended up suffering from the backlash of the ghost he had nurtured and lost his powers."I'll
"Young man, you're so cruel. Have you ever thought of the consequences of your actions?" Yorrick asked. He put his hands behind his back as he walked slowly toward Sebastian. Sebastian eyed Yorrick, whose training was at least on the same level as Egbert's. Besides, what he had studied was also a kind of spell. He and Sebastian specialized in the same study.The moment Yorrick got angry, Sebastian had sensed the faint power of Dainist principles from him."No blows are kind, and neither are harsh words! Why do you people feel that others should meekly allow you to beat them up? When your people are injured, you immediately think of it as the other party's mistake! That doesn't make any sense!" Sebastian answered coldly."Mr. Irving, kill that asshole!" Kayden said viciously. He was still clutching his crotch with one hand while he pointed at Sebastian with his other hand. Beside them, Jayden said defiantly, "Mr. Irving, you must not let this guy go! He's ruthless and extremely
Huh? Egbert frowned involuntarily. He had never felt that way before. What was going on? There was a loud blast, and the gigantic statue suddenly appeared out of thin air. At the same time, Egbert suddenly felt his blood churning inside him, and he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.He was about to turn and run when a black bolt of light hit him in the back. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew through the air like a broken kite. "Oh! Are you actually a sadist, old man?" Sebastian asked, smiling.Before Egbert could scramble up again, yet another bolt of dark light flew toward him."Damn it!"Egbert could no longer be conscious of his image and dignity. He swore at once. The dark light was aimed at his energy reserve. If he was hit, his decades of training would be completely ruined. However, he had plenty of life experience and had been through many such situations. When he saw the dark light flying toward him, he rolled across the floor like a bal
The dark shadow stretched out a large hand toward Nina. It appeared to be planning on tearing off her clothes. "Die?" Nina burst into laughter. How dare a ghost who was only around 300 years old talk to her about dying? As the smile stiffened on Nina's face, she bared her teeth, revealing fangs. Her scarlet eyes looked up impassively at the dark shadow above her head. "Aargh!" When the gigantic, dark shadow saw Nina's true form, it turned to try and escape, but it was too close to her that it was impossible for it to do so.It had only taken one step backward before Nina reached out and yanked it back."Have mercy, my lady!" The giant shadow disappeared and became a dark and scrawny-looking ghost that was less than five feet tall. "How dare you disrupt my dreams? You deserve to disintegrate into nothing!"Nina raised her hand and pressed down on top of the dark and scrawny ghost's head. "No!"The dark and scrawny ghost fell to its knees with a thump before Nina and sa
The Sacred Medicine Secret Annals also contained mystic spells from the Demon Sect. However, it was clearly written that those who practiced them would suffer divine punishment if they were to excel in it!Those were very heavy words indeed. How evil did those spells have to be if they would bring down divine punishment on those who excelled in practicing them?"Hmph! Stop trying to act as if you're smart in front of me. Have you ever seen such amazing spells? Believe it or not, I can kill your entire family with a click of my fingers?"There was a sinister tinge to Egbert's smile. With ordinary people, Egbert would only have to send out a thought to kill the entire family of his opponent instantly.However, Sebastian was being very dismissive of him. Evil spells like those required the supernatural spirit behind Egbert to sense the opponent's energy, after which they would use the same energy to find their family members.The process wasn't as mysterious as Egbert made it out
Those deceptive tricks appeared impressive, but those who Egbert healed would only end up in an even worse state, suffering even more."I haven't committed any crimes. How can I accept my punishment?" Sebastian asked disinterestedly.Brayden sneered. "You're not the one who decides whether you've committed a crime or not. Come! Subdue this defiant man!"Subdue Sebastian? Who would dare to do such a thing?The law enforcement hall members exchanged looks.Upon seeing this, Egbert stepped forward and said arrogantly, "Young man, you've seen what I can do. Compared to me, you martial arts practitioners aren't worthy of mention at all. I'll be lenient on you because you're young and ignorant. Just give up and come quietly!"Egbert was different from ordinary deacons in the Martial Arts Court. He had been hired specially as a mystic spells expert.When compared with mystic spells or cultivation, so-called martial arts weren't worthy of mention at all.That was because all mystic spe
Brayden sneered. "Kill you and cover this up? You overestimate yourselves. This is an act of protecting officials!" The bare fact of the matter was that they were going to kill everyone who knew about the Berkeleys' depraved acts. Once they had done so, the Berkeleys' perfect image would be restored. "Do you think that it's reasonable and lawful for Kayden to act the way he does?" Sebastian asked in a cold, accusing voice. "There's no helping it. Those in power must have some privileges. That's an accepted fact in the world. It's your fault for not being part of this class of people. If you're going to blame anyone, blame yourselves for being born in the wrong family!" Brayden said smugly as he shot Egbert Galen a glance. Egbert strode over to Kayden and crouched down to inspect his injuries. He tapped him with a finger. "Aargh!" The pain made huge beads of sweat drip down Kayden's face."Alright. You can stand up and take a few steps, Mr. Kayden!" Egbert said, putting his
"Oh?" Brayden glanced twice at Sebastian before asking, "What crime has Mr. Kayden committed? Tell me!" Sebastian couldn't be bothered to argue with him and just played the phone recording. The two old men frowned involuntarily when they finished listening to it."You're Inspector Jefferson, aren't you? I'd like to ask you how anyone could want to sleep with a bride at a wedding banquet in front of thousands of guests. Is he an animal? Don't the Berkeleys do this sort of thing in private?"Does this mean that when someone in the Berkeley family gets married, any of the guests or even a mere passerby can have their way with the bride in front of all their friends and family?"Javier turned red, then pale as he listened. He pointed at Sebastian and cursed him loudly. "You bastard! Stop talking nonsense!""Inspector Jefferson, since you admire Mr. Kayden's genes so much, why don't you let him improve your family's gene pool as well? You should especially let Mr. Kayden help out wi
Two black-clad men came up to the car door and opened it for Brayden, who then got out of the car. As he alighted, two elderly men also got out of the black car behind him. They came up beside Brayden and said, "Inspector Jefferson!" Brayden clasped his hands behind his back and nodded as he said, "Mr. Galen, Mr. Irving. Come and get rid of this nuisance with me today. Remember, we must not show any mercy!" The two old men nodded slightly and said, "We'll do as you say, Inspector Jefferson!"Brayden nodded slightly and said to Jayden, "Lead the way!" Jayden hastily gestured for them to go ahead. He led them happily into the Aequor.He had fled the hotel just a while ago, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to have transformed into a different person. He walked into the hotel with his chest puffed up, and his entire demeanor had changed. The attendants on the first floor looked at him in surprise. "Did that handsome young guy go and get himself an invigorating shot of so
