Chapter 7

Author: Wendell Mayhew
"You know your stuff after all. I'm surprised you're familiar with the soul revival technique," Sebastian remarked with a chuckle.

"I came across records of it in an ancient text by accident, Dr. Ballard. I never thought I'd get to witness it in person today. Please take me as your student, Dr. Ballard!" Jonah said once more.

Feeling helpless, Sebastian had no choice but to agree. "Don't tell anyone else I'm your mentor, understood?"

"Yes, of course. I understand," Jonah said respectfully as he stood beside Sebastian.

At that moment, Levi came forward. His mannerisms were respectful as he expressed, "Thank you for saving my father, Dr. Ballard. From today onward, we, the Griffins, will forever be indebted to you!

"If you ever need anything, just say the word, and we'll do anything within our means to get it done!"

"You don't need to be so courteous with me, Mr. Griffin. It wasn't a big deal," Sebastian said.

"But, I do need your help with something. The Griffins are business magnates with businesses scattered all over the country. I know that your family is involved in the pharmaceutical field as well. I'd like you to help me procure a few medicinal herbs."

Levi swiftly declared, "Of course, Dr. Ballard. Just tell me what you need. As long as it's available, we'll get it for you!"

Sebastian listed out the medicinal herbs he needed.

Levi frowned. Many of the names were new to him, but even so, he agreed to find them for Sebastian.

Still, Sebastian did not place much hope on Levi procuring them even though he did need them for a special purpose.

Since being ordinary was a fault in Whitney's eyes, Sebastian wanted to let her witness how the man she considered as insignificant as a speck of dust became someone far out of her league!

Five minutes later, Oliver regained consciousness. Some color had returned to his complexion.

Naturally, Levi kept Sebastian for a meal.

Jonah was too embarrassed to stick around, so he quickly left the residence.

As soon as he walked out the door, he received a call.

"Hello, Dr. Pike. I'm the secretary of Frostwave Corporation's CEO, Ms. Sutton. We sincerely extend an offer for you to join our corporation and become our most honored consultant doctor," Mabel said with the utmost respect.

It was her seventh time calling Jonah.

If Jonah, Steinberg's genius doctor, joined Frostwave Corporation, the company could then use the news to promote itself. It would be enough for the company to gain a lot of recognition in Steinberg.

Furthermore, Jonah was a highly skilled doctor who was proficient in the pharmaceutical field as well. If he joined the company, he would be a great asset that could contribute greatly to the company's future growth.

Alas, Jonah declined once more. "Please stop calling me, Ms. Lucero. I've decided to retreat from society and focus on my research to hone my medical skills."

"Dr. Pike, feel free to tell us what you want. We'll do our best to fulfill your request," Mabel frantically added.

"That won't be necessary. Just today, I learned that there are always more talented people out there. My medical knowledge is far from being sufficient." Jonah sighed.

Frowning, Mabel probed, "What happened, Dr. Pike? It sounds like you met someone who's even more skilled in medicine than you are."

"Words can't describe his medical expertise! Just that Goldcrow pill of his is something that I'll never be able to create myself," Jonah declared. Thinking about it now, he still felt just as excited as ever.

"Goldcrow pill? What's that?" Mabel asked in shock. The name sounded so familiar to her.

"It's a kind of medicine that can treat all illnesses. It's a priceless treasure!" Jonah exclaimed, but belatedly realizing he had said too much, he swiftly ended the call.

Mabel frowned and mumbled, "Goldcrow pill? A medicine that treats all illnesses?"

She abruptly recalled the scene that took place earlier!

Sebastian had the Goldcrow pill! If even Jonah marveled at its potency, it had to be an incredibly valuable medicine!

"That bastard! He's been hiding this up his sleeves! This won't do. The formula for the Goldcrow pill has to belong to Frostwave Corporation!" Mabel declared coldly.

She sent Jonah a text, and after getting more information, she rushed over to the residence that the Griffin family had bought in Steinberg.

Sebastian exited the residence with Rosalie behind him. She continued to thank him profusely.

All of a sudden, a red Mercedes-Benz raced down the road and came to an abrupt halt beside them.

Mabel got out of the car and walked over to them with an icy expression.

"Sebastian, you bastard!" she snarled. "I see how it is. You've been hiding your mistress from Ms. Sutton and me! Well, out of respect for Ms. Sutton, our company is willing to buy the formula for your Goldcrow pill for 100 thousand dollars!"

She brought out the money she had withdrawn before coming over.

Sebastian frowned. He disliked Mabel's attitude. She was only nice when she needed something from someone and would even degrade them when she did not.

"I don't understand what you're saying, Ms. Lucero," Sebastian retorted coolly.

Mabel crossed her arms and snorted, "Cut the crap, Sebastian. Don't bother pretending. Didn't you just use your Goldcrow pill to treat someone? Well, on behalf of Frostwave Corporation, I'm now offering to buy the formula from you. How about it?"

Frowning in displeasure, Sebastian asked, "Did Whitney send you?"

"Don't use your narrow-minded judgment on me. This has nothing to do with Ms. Sutton. I came over on my own accord," Mabel said disdainfully.

"Is that so?" Sebastian sneered. "If the company wants the formula, sure. Let Whitney come and ask me for it in person! Who do you think you are? What makes you qualified to negotiate with me?"

    "Are you insulting me?" Mabel fumed."Who else, if not you? You came on behalf of Frostwave Corporation? What makes you qualified to represent them? Your shamelessness?"Mabel ground her teeth in anger. Reining in her fury, she growled, "I know you're upset because of the divorce, Sebastian, but you should know that things won't work out between you and Ms. Sutton. You'll only be dragging her down if you stay with her!"Plus, you're the one who has done wrong by Ms. Sutton, not the other way around! You said that you were preparing to give Ms. Sutton the Goldcrow pill as a gift for your third wedding anniversary. Are you refusing to keep your word now just because you've divorced? Are you even a man?"She continued, "I'm telling you right now! Whether you like it or not, you're going to hand over the formula for the Goldcrow pill today! If anything, I can just tell Ms. Sutton to take you to court. After all, the formula counts as marital property, doesn't it? The court will declare

    Frowning, Whitney asked curiously, "Did you manage to get Dr. Pike to join us?"Mabel shook her head and replied, "No. Dr. Pike said he wanted to retreat from society and focus on honing his medical expertise."Whitney rubbed her temples and sighed.One of her plans to expand the company was by hiring Jonah to be Frostwave Corporation's consultant doctor. It looked like they had to set that plan aside for now."But, I got the formula for the Goldcrow pill, Ms. Sutton!"Mabel sounded extremely pleased with herself as she sent the formula Sebastian gave her to Whitney through her phone.Whitney frowned and asked, "The formula for the Goldcrow pill? What's that?"Mabel swiftly explained everything, and she even played a recording of her call with Jonah."Is the Goldcrow pill really that incredible? Even Dr. Pike wouldn't be able to create something like it?" Whitney exclaimed. She was dumbstruck.Mabel hummed in confirmation and nodded before adding, "Now that we have the formu

    "That's enough!" Whitney snapped in fury. "What do you mean by this, Sebastian? Are you telling me to give up on this project?""That's right," Sebastian replied."And then what?" Whitney questioned. "Become like you, someone who daydreams in that little shop of his? I'm so disappointed in you, Sebastian!""Hasn't Frostwave Corporation given you enough?" Sebastian asked.Taking a deep breath, Whitney declared, "You're so ignorant, Sebastian! I'm definitely going to do my best to carry out the Goldcrow pill project! The more you insist on trying to stop me, the harder I'll work to make it a success!"I'll prove to you that you're not the only one who can make Frostwave Corporation successful! I can do it too!"After a long silence, Sebastian sighed exasperatedly and said, "I've given you enough warnings. I hope you won't come begging me for help in the future.""I'll never beg for your help!" Whitney shrieked before terminating the call. The conversation ended on a sour note.Wh

    For four consecutive years, Isabel topped the list of powerful businesswomen in Steinberg as the one with the most potential and influence.It was not at all an exaggeration to call her the queen of Steinberg's business world.In the last year, Isabel was all Whitney could talk about.She was the person Whitney wanted to be and was also a role model for all the women in Steinberg's business world.Isabel was the reason why Whitney changed.Sebastian frowned when he heard that yet another person had come under Chester's recommendation."I don't need five minutes. I've gotten everything I need to know. I can treat you," Sebastian said.Isabel was taken aback.All of Steinberg was aware of her condition, but she had consulted with numerous renowned doctors, and no one was able to treat it.She even offered a handsome fee. Alas, it was to no avail.In fact, Isabel even said that as long as someone could find a cure for her strange condition, she was willing to marry that person,

    "Take everything off?" Isabel repeated. Startled, she turned bright red.She did not expect Sebastian to bluntly ask that she take off her clothes and underwear.Even though she was a career woman with a long list of accolades, she had never dated anyone before.In the last four years, she did not even hold a man's hand, let alone strip naked in front of one …After hesitating briefly, Isabel turned around. With her back toward Sebastian, she slowly took off her dress, revealing her smooth and flawless back.The gentle curves of her neck and shoulders as well as her slender waist made Sebastian gulp. He was a little dazed.Meanwhile, Isabel was so embarrassed that she was trembling.She slowly took off her black lace underwear before swiftly lying head down on the bed. Her ample bosom was squished against the mattress."I'm ready," Isabel muttered with her head turned to the side. She dared not look at Sebastian.Her cheeks were flamed.Sebastian took in the voluptuous physiq

    "Sure, if I have the time," Sebastian responded non-committedly.Isabel left.After getting into her car, she called her secretary and instructed, "Look into someone for me. I want all the information there is on him. He's the first man in four years to have touched me and seen me naked. I'll be seeing a lot of him from now on."…Meanwhile, over at the CEO's office in Frostwave Corporation, Whitney asked Mabel, "Is everything ready for the press conference?""Yes, everything's ready," Mabel replied.Whitney got up. "Come. Let's head over there now."The press conference was extremely important. She was not going to allow anything to go wrong.The lobby of Frostwave Corporation had been set up for the press conference. Several media channels were broadcasting the event in real-time.The words "Goldcrow Pill" were featured boldly on the large backdrop.As the crowd clapped, Whitney walked up to the podium with a smile and said, "Firstly, I'd like to thank all of you for taking

    At the shop, Sebastian turned off the live broadcast of the press conference and chuckled wryly.It was clear that the things Whitney said toward the end were directed at him, but he did not care.That being said, it seemed like Frostwave Corporation's strategy to promote the Goldcrow pill was going to cause trouble for them.It might even lead to a huge fiasco.But, Sebastian could not be bothered to worry about it.He had already cautioned Whitney, and he could not do anything if she refused to listen.Just then, Rosalie skipped over to him and called out, "Dr. Ballard.""Do you need something else from me, Ms. Griffin?" Sebastian asked.Rosalie pouted and asked, "What's the matter? Do you not like spending time with me?"Huh?Startled, Sebastian smiled awkwardly, "I wouldn't say that.""Really? Well, my family is organizing a dinner event in Steinberg. It's happening on the day after tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?" Rosalie asked with a hopeful smile."A dinner ev

    Rosalie's words fell like a bomb.It felt as if the temperature had dropped several degrees.Fiancée?Shocked, Whitney stared wide-eyed at Sebastian before nodding and remarking with a sneer, "My, my. Sebastian. You even have a fiancée now. That explains why you agreed to the divorce without a fight. It's because of her, huh?"Sebastian frowned and glared at Rosalie who pretended to not notice him.She rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out before averting her gaze."Get the hell out of my way!"Whitney shoved Sebastian before marching into the estate in a huff.Mabel glowered at Sebastian and fumed, "You disgust me! You brought this vixen here to show off in front of Ms. Sutton, didn't you? What a shame. Your plan failed. Ms. Sutton doesn't care about you anymore."She ran after Whitney.Frowning hard, Sebastian let out a dry chuckle before exhaling.Rosalie came over and muttered, "Are you alright, Dr. Ballard?""I'm fine.""I'm sorry. I just wanted to piss off your ex

    "Kneel!" Sebastian suddenly yelled.Brayden yelped with fear and fell to his knees."Sebastian, I… I'm a tristate inspector of the Martial Arts Court!"At that point, Brayden's final hope was his authority and position. He didn't want to die, and he especially didn't want to die for no reason.He just wanted to win favor with the ancestral being of the Berkeleys and get some tips on how to get a longer life."Call your wife! I'll give you two hours. If she doesn't come, you'll be tortured to death as well. I can tell you clearly that I'm a doctor, and I have ways to keep you alive until you get slashed 3,600 times with a knife!" Sebastian said icily."I…"Brayden trembled as he pulled out his phone. His mind had gone blank, and it took him a long time to find his wife's phone number. Her name was Darla Wyllis. "Hello? Honey? A handbag caught my eye today, but that stupid store actually refused to give it to me for free! It's a lousy handbag that only costs about 500 thousand d

    Jayden had only gone a few steps, but he had no choice but to stop. He turned and grimaced at the Berkeleys and Brayden, who were all looking in his direction.He was filled with regret. He should have made his escape earlier instead of coming back with Brayden. Egbert and Yorrick were clearly fools. One of them had maimed himself and ended up vomiting blood relentlessly, while the other stood there like an idiot for Sebastian to slap him. He would be surprised if either of them could defeat Sebastian.As everyone was watching him, Jayden had no choice but to return to his previous spot. He looked nervously at Yorrick, praying inwardly that the old man would somehow get more skilled. He couldn't let Sebastian screw him over!"This is the last slap, old man. Do you still have any feeling in your face?" Sebastian asked, raising his palm."Damn you!" Yorrick swore violently. However, one of his front teeth had been knocked out earlier when he was slapped, and air escaped noisily t

    The entire left side of Yorrick's face had become so numb that he couldn't feel a thing."Young man, just now you already hit me—""I only slapped you once!" Sebastian interrupted, holding up a finger.Yorrick spat and said, "How could one slap have made so many noises?"Sebastian replied innocently, "Everyone here can testify that I only hit you once, and I did it very slowly too. You all saw it, didn't you?"The onlookers nodded quickly, especially the experts from the law enforcement hall. They still couldn't figure out how an expert at Yorrick's level could have been sent flying through the air by a weak slap like that from Sebastian.What puzzled them the most was that Yorrick had clearly landed in a very safe spot. Why had he insisted on rolling into a pile of broken glass and gotten such a gaping wound on his face?"Fine!" Yorrick clenched his teeth and suppressed the pain in the right side of his face. "There are still two moves left!" he said viciously."Will you com

    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
