H-How dare you hit me?" Matt covered his face and glared at Sebastian angrily.Every pharmaceutical company in Dramon respected him. With just a word from him, he could block any of these companies' supplies.Jace promised him that once he got the Arctic Snow Mask formula, he would give it to Ytalia's manufacturer. Then, he would split the profits with Matt.To Matt, Sebastian was just an arrogant CEO. As long as he ordered him, he thought Sebastian would apologize to Fergus.Then, he would use this chance to threaten Sebastian for the Arctic Snow Mask formula. This way, he would have achieved his goal.However, Matt didn't expect Sebastian to not act according to his expectations. Sebastian even slapped him in front of everyone."Why not?" Sebastian scoffed as he glanced at Matt and the others and said coldly, "I'm guessing you guys have schemed this, right? "This industry event is being held today to steal my facial mask formula, huh? Since you guys are eyeing my formula, the
The leading bodyguard stepped forward to grab Sebastian's wrist. Meanwhile, the two bodyguards beside him rushed toward Rosalie."So, you're using brute force now? How dare you try to take what's mine?"With that, Sebastian waved his hands, and three silver needles flew out from his sleeves. The three bodyguards couldn't even react before they collapsed to the ground.Just as Matt was about to step forward and teach Sebastian a lesson, he saw this scene and pulled back his outstretched foot. "I didn't realize you were a martial artist."At that moment, an elderly man dressed in white slowly walked out from behind the bodyguards.Sebastian eyed the old man coldly. Though the man was at least in his 60s, he was spirited and had sharp eyes. An air of formidable strength emanated from him.He was Austin Paquin, the esteemed retainer of the Philips family and a renowned Supreme Grandmaster in Harrenville."Mr. Paquin, stop him!" Matt commanded Austin.With one hand behind his back,
After Sebastian left, the atmosphere in the hall became incredibly awkward. Jace hurriedly said a few words before leaving. …Back in the hotel suite, Matt cursed angrily, "How dare Sebastian slap me? He's asking for death!"Jace turned and gave Matt a sinister look. "Mr. Philips, don't say I didn't warn you. Sebastian is not to be trifled with. You should think twice before acting.""Hmph! I want to see if he's that invincible!" Matt spat back before storming out, slamming the door behind him.As Cameron watched Matt's retreating figure, he smiled slyly. "Mr. Beckard, are you trying to use someone to do your dirty deeds? Perhaps you are just not sure if the target is Sebastian or Matt, right?"Jace raised his glass and clinked it with Cameron, smiling without answering. Then he changed the subject, "Mr. Sanchez, how did the lab results turn out?""Excellent. This mask even has scar-healing effects, but it can't be replicated without the original formula," Cameron replied.
Upon hearing Rosalie's words, Sebastian frowned and said in a low voice, "The Griffin family wants to kick you out?"Rosalie's eyes flashed with determination as she lifted her chin and said, "Even if I have nothing left, I'll never go back to Janover or marry Stephen! Besides, staying in Steinberg isn't a bad thing. Maybe, with you as my support, I could still achieve something."A happy smile spread across Rosalie's face. She knew very well that it was likely her grandfather who decided to let her manage the Griffin family's properties in Steinberg. In other words, he was trying to create an opportunity for her and Sebastian to be together. This meant that her grandfather had already accepted Sebastian. Even if her mother opposed it, as long as she and Sebastian achieved success, no one in the Griffin family could stop their marriage in the future."Even my company's face masks are being completely banned. Are you sure I'm reliable enough for you to lean on?" Sebastian teased
As Rosalie was writing invitations, her expression froze slightly upon hearing the news. Though the announcement seemed trivial, it effectively cut off all her avenues of retreat. Without the Griffin family's protection and support, her clinic and club in Steinberg would be left entirely unsupported. Establishing a foothold in Steinberg was an uphill battle for a lone woman like her.Noticing Rosalie's fingers turning slightly pale from gripping the pen too tightly, Sebastian felt a pang of pity. "If it really doesn't work out, perhaps you should go back to Janover," he suggested. "The Griffin family's stance is clear. If you don't return, they'll cut ties with you. Can you really bear to leave your family?"Rosalie clenched her fists, her expression resolute. "This must be a decision made by my uncle and my mother! But they can't force me to yield with such tactics! So what if I don't have the Griffin family? Having you is enough for me!"As she spoke, Rosalie turned to look
Quite a few people were extremely envious of this club. However, due to the Griffin family's prestige, those who had eyes on this club could only keep their thoughts to themselves.Now that Moonlyte Club no longer had the protection of the Griffin family, it would instantly become a sought–after prize by various parties.Therefore, without much consideration, Andon agreed to the plan and assured Jace that he would witness a good show within three days. After hanging up the phone, Andon draped an arm around a beauty beside him and lifted a glass to take a big sip."That bastard Sebastian dared to make me apologize to him? Then let's play a good game!" With that said, Andon shouted at the door, "Guards!"Soon after, several strong men entered the room. "Spread the word. Say that the Griffin family will no longer protect Moonlyte Club. Anyone with ideas should act quickly." With that, Andon carried the young woman in his arms and walked toward the inner room of the private room.
Feeling a warm reassurance on her shoulder, Rosalie looked up at Sebastian's handsome face and finally managed a smile. But soon, she sighed and said, "I just didn't expect the Griffin family to act so decisively. I'm afraid we won't have peaceful days ahead."Benny's attitude reflected the Griffin family's stance. After working for them for so many years, he had become one of Alec's trusted confidants. In other words, even if others weren't eyeing Moonlyte Club, Alec would still dismantle it."I told you; I'm here," Sebastian replied calmly with a faint smile.Rosalie nodded heavily, then changed the subject. "Will you go to tomorrow's opening ceremony?""Yes." Sebastian nodded firmly.There was no need to guess; the ceremony on the next day wouldn't be peaceful, either. The Beckard family and those eyeing Moonlyte Club wouldn't miss this chance to undermine Arctic Snow Group.After hearing his answer, Rosalie felt somewhat relieved.…Meanwhile, in the office of Frostwave
"I came here today because of our three years together, and I wanted to inform you specially," Whitney said. "If you don't want Arctic Snow Group to face closure, it's best to apologize to Mr. Beckard and make amends."Sebastian frowned and turned to Whitney. "How do you know no one will come?""Sebastian, why are you still so stubborn? I'm saying this for your own good," Whitney replied. "Have you ever considered how influential the Beckard family is in Steinberg? Even just one of Bashmore Group's assets dominates the cosmetics industry here. Can't you see?"She continued urgently, her voice rising, "Besides, is apologizing really that difficult? Plus, everyone knows about Rosalie being disowned by the Griffins. She can't help you now; she'll only be a burden to you. Do you understand?" Sebastian remained cold and composed. "My affairs are none of your concern, Ms. Sutton.""Sebastian, I'm only worried about you," Whitney said earnestly, staring at Sebastian's indifferent expres
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
"Violet!" Candy stared at Violet in terror, because the latter now looked frightening. The flesh and skin on her face were peeling off, and pale white bone was already showing on her chin.It wouldn't take long before she became a living skeleton.Violet glanced at her hands, of which only bone was left. There was a look of shock in her eyes, but she still had another trick up her sleeve.As she cackled sinisterly, her body began recovering rapidly. All her skin was growing back, and the new flesh and skin that grew was as smooth as that of a baby's."Young man, do you really think that I would have no way to break that spell?" Violet looked at her newly grown skin and flesh and laughed triumphantly. Sebastian waggled a finger slightly and asked, "Break it? It's not that easy. That was just the beginning!"As soon as he finished, he moved in a flash and leaped down from the roof. All Violet saw was a shadow flashing past her.There was a series of resounding slaps, and Violet f
At the same time, clouds of dark energy flowed toward Sebastian and enveloped him.He felt a strong, restrictive power enveloped him, which made it hard to even lift a finger.It was a mystic spell unique to Violet. Anyone enveloped by the dark energy would have no choice but to stand still and wait for death to come, no matter how powerful they were. A mystic spell like that was similar to the one Sebastian had just displayed, but it was much more bizarre and harder to detect. Countless experts in the mystic spells had died from Violet's move. In the end, she had sucked up all their blood essence, and they had become nutrition for her.That was why she was sure that Sebastian would suffer the same fate. "Young man, are you unable to speak now?" Violet taunted as she circled Sebastian. She now felt that Sebastian was like a lamb to the slaughter—she could do with him as she pleased.However, she didn't want to let him die too quickly. He had committed an unforgivable sin in
The dark green liquid was venom!Sebastian hastily leaped onto the roof of a villa to dodge the attack."Hey, you old hag! Aren't you afraid that you'll end up without any descendants if you treat your granddaughter-in-law like that?" Sebastian questioned mockingly. Violet wasn't angry at all. She laughed instead and said, "Ballard, your reverse psychology won't work on me. Let's see how you kill her!"She cackled again.Human life meant nothing to her, and Candy was just a puppet that the Berkeleys had found. They only wanted to use her body to raise the snake curse until it took over her body completely, after which she could give birth to a true snake spirit baby for them!"Don't regret it, you old hag!"Sebastian suddenly raised his hand, and a strong force immediately weighed down heavily on them."Restrain!"He pressed his palms down in the air as he spoke."Restrain?" A smile had just begun to flash across Violet's face, but then her expression stiffened.The stron
