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

    The two apothecaries immediately tossed their brooms aside. One helped the middle-aged woman to open the door while the other took the child from her arms."Time to see a patient, Dr. Larsen!" one of the apothecaries called out to an old doctor as he carried the child inside.The old doctor pushed his glasses up his nose and eyed the mother and daughter. He walked slowly over to the consultation table and sat down."Don't worry, ma'am. What's wrong with the child?" the doctor, Ellis Larsen, asked the middle-aged woman. At that moment, Sebastian and Unus walked into Townsend Clinic together. On the way there, Sebastian had remained focused on the little girl because the look in her eyes was highly abnormal. "Doctor, I don't know what's happened to her. She hasn't eaten or drunk anything since last night, and she doesn't say a word no matter what I ask her. All she does is to stare vacantly into space!" the middle-aged woman said tearfully to Ellis. Ellis couldn't help drawing i

    Javier had gone to Sunway for a meeting and was not in Acorn City. Whatever the old man said would be representative of Javier. "Mr. Gabbard, we can't let him go!""Yes, Mr. Gabbard. He's caused such a fuss at the Martial Arts Court that he should at least get both legs broken before we can let him go!""Besides, he injured Mr. Lynch! How will we explain to Mr. Berkeley when he gets back?"A few of the younger deacons protested. "I've already said that these two gentlemen may leave. Anyone who tries to stop them will be executed without mercy!" Cohen Gabbard was furious. Didn't these idiots know how to read the room? Did they have to carry out flattery no matter what the situation was?Didn't they know who the minced meat all over the floor belonged to? Who else could they be except the missing deacons?No matter how they had done it, someone who was able to smash a living person into mincemeat must be extremely powerful indeed. Even if they tried to tie Sebastian and Un

    There was a dull thwack. The deacon in the lead didn't even have time to turn and escape before he was squashed into mincemeat by a single punch from Unus. Gleaming blood and flesh scattered everywhere. The rest of them tried to escape when they saw what had happened, but their speed couldn't compare to that of Unus. Before they could get to the door, Unus' fist had already reached them.There was a series of thumps as four or five deacons were all crushed. Blood and lumps of flesh fell all over the floor. The smell of blood hung heavily in the interrogation room.Jayden and Bryson cowered in a corner, trembling.Unus couldn't be human! How could it have reduced a live person to mincemeat with just one punch?As Jayden and Bryson looked on, Unus walked up to Sebastian expressionlessly. He raised his hand and tugged lightly on the chains that bound Sebastian tightly. They immediately broke into numerous pieces.Sebastian stood up and stretched before walking in Colton's directi

    "Mr. Lynch! Are you alright?" The deacons surrounded Colton at once.Colton had been very unlucky that day. Not only had Sebastian beaten him half to death, but he had even been injured in the head once again by him, even though Sebastian was chained. When Colton noticed how much he was bleeding, he lost it completely. "Kill him!" he roared in fury, looking crazed. The deacons exchanged looks. They knew how skillful Bryson was. However, Bryson was unable to stand against Sebastian, and it made the deacons even more afraid to move forward.Although Colton was the heir of the Lynch family, it wouldn't be worth getting their arms and legs broken by Sebastian just to flatter him. "Go and get him, damn it! I'll give you money! Each person will get one million. Beat him to death!"Colton was very agitated. He yelled at the top of his voice at Sebastian while pointing at him with his crutch. As the saying went, there would always be a hero when there was a big reward. Upon hearin

    A faintly murderous light flashed in Sebastian's eyes, and the deacons felt a chilling murderous energy. The deacon who had been pointing at Sebastian with a steel rod couldn't help stepping backward. He took a long time to recover. Sebastian was bound tightly in chains that were as thick as a man's thumb, and he had been cuffed to the steel chair. There was no way that he could fight back at all.The deacon felt annoyed at being scared by someone in that state, and he pointed at Sebastian with his steel rod again and shouted, "You must be tired of living, you brat! How dare you say Mr. Wentworth's name?""Even Joaquin wouldn't dare to speak to me in that manner," Sebastian said calmly.If Joaquin knew that Sebastian had been arrested by deacons from the Mount Acorn Martial Arts Court, he would kill them all without hesitation!"You're very arrogant! Mr. Lynch specifically mentioned this object. I'll give you five thousand dollars, and you can send it to him. Do you have any obje

    "You said that Mr. Lynch wanted to take something that belonged to you. Where is the object?" the deacon in the lead asked, sneering. Sebastian pointed at his shirt pocket and said, "Here!" The deacon pulled out the emerald buckle from Sebastian's pocket. He weighed it in his hand and waved at the other deacons, saying, "Take him away!"When Jayden saw that Sebastian had been marched off by deacons from the Martial Arts Court, he called an ambulance for Colton. Luckily, Colton was from an elite martial arts family. Despite being spoiled, he had at least trained in martial arts, which was why he wasn't as frail as an ordinary person would be. Otherwise, he would have succumbed to his injuries long ago.Bryson and the others were also carried into the ambulance by the medical staff. Solomon sighed as he watched Sebastian leave. Although the Martial Arts Court appeared to be upholding the law, they were actually in cahoots with the Lynches. Now that Sebastian had been taken by t

    "What do you want?" Colton asked, sobbing as he looked up."What do I want? That depends on what you want, Mr. Lynch!"Sebastian sneered and continued. "Didn't you say that if I don't sell what I'm holding to you, I won't be allowed to leave this street? Well, I don't like getting threatened by people, so I had no choice but to give you a slight bump!"Colton's face was covered in tears and snot. He said tearfully, "If you don't want to sell it, then don't! Please stop torturing me. I'm about to die from the pain! Go away. I really don't want that buckle anymore!"Jayden couldn't help swallowing. Sebastian was ruthless. He had tortured an heir from an elite martial arts family so severely that the latter was now losing his mind from the pain."Does that mean I can leave now?" Sebastian asked, smiling widely.Colton nodded quickly. If Sebastian didn't leave soon, he would die!"Mr. Lynch, take care of yourself from now on. You won't always be so lucky!" Sebastian said. He sneered

    Sebastian had also almost shattered Colton's chin. Not only that, he had slapped Colton in front of hundreds of people there on the street of antique stalls. Courage wasn't the only thing required to do such a thing."I dislike that look of hatred in your eyes," Sebastian said, sneering as he looked down at Colton.Colton lowered his head quickly, not daring to look at Sebastian again.There was a snap as Sebastian pressed a hand on Colton's shoulder and exerted a slight force. As everyone heard the sound of bones breaking, half of Colton's shoulder sunk in. It hurt so much that Colton couldn't help but shriek.The onlookers all gasped involuntarily. Sebastian had just hurt Colton Lynch!"Let's not go too far, my young friend! The Lynch family has great influence in Acorn City. You will get nothing for killing him!" Solomon walked out of the crowd once more and tried to advise Sebastian out of the kindness of his heart.Colton was sweating profusely. The pain he felt in his sho

    The speed of the punch made even Colton nod in approval.It was the Mountainsplit Punch, which was Bryson's signature move. He could smash a stone plaque with a punch like that, so one could imagine what it would do to a person. Sebastian just raised an arm casually and threw a punch that did not appear strong at all. There was a loud bang."Aargh!"Sebastian's fist collided against Bryson's, but right after that, Bryson flew backward like a broken kite. His entire arm had broken under the force of Sebastian's punch. Pale white bone poked out of his shoulder, and his shirt was soon stained with blood. Bryson didn't even make a sound before fainting from the pain."Mr. Lynch, the fighters from your family aren't very impressive," Sebastian said, smiling widely as he clasped his hands behind his back. Colton had been extremely alarmed by what he had just witnessed. Bryson had just been defeated! The man was famous for his iron-hard fist, which could shake up the whole of Moun
