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
"I'm here to support Mr. Ballard!" Hans strode around Jace and Fergus and approached Sebastian.He said respectfully, "Mr. Ballard, I wish you all the best in your new business!"He waved a hand at one of his subordinates, and four of them carried two floral arrangements over to the doors of Arctic Snow Group.Several Benzes pulled up, and the doors opened to reveal over a dozen prominent figures in the Steinberg business world. They didn't even look at Jace but went straight up to Sebastian and bowed."Mr. Ballard, thank you for your energy replenishing pills. It saved my life! You have my support!" Devon Collins said. "We are located at the department store in Pimland, and we're willing to stock the Arctic Snow Mask for free. This is a cooperation agreement. Please have a look, Ms. Cain." One of the wealthy businessmen politely handed Penelope a cooperation agreement. "Our department store is in Solville, and we're willing to sell the Arctic Snow Mask too.""Us too!"Penelo
Who would've thought that the Beckards' blockade of Arctic Snow Group would have been resolved so easily?The muscles on Jace's face were twitching violently. Every contract that was handed to Penelope felt like a slap in the face to him.The main issue was that since he had closed off all the distribution channels for the Arctic Snow Mask, he had been sure that Sebastian would've submitted to him within a month. As long as Sebastian handed him the formula for the face mask, Jace could've used it to establish his own business empire in secret.Armed with his outstanding results, he was sure to become the successor of the Beckards.However, all of these people were ruining his plan!The worst thing was that he had plotted and schemed for so long to put his pawns in place at the industry event, only to have Sebastian overturn everything almost instantly.The Beckards had not only failed to blacklist Arctic Snow Group; they had ended up offending the local medicinal ingredient com
Blake commanded a few Warrior League apprentices to load the Medcroft Cauldron into the car before gesturing politely to Sebastian. "After you, Mr. Ballard."Sebastian said goodbye to Belinda before getting in. Afterward, he handed Blake a bottle of Gold Remedy. "How are your injuries?"Blake shook his head. "I'm fine. However, you need to be careful after getting back, Mr. Ballard. I'm afraid that the Yutarian Warriors aren't going to let things go so easily."Sebastian hadn't been well-known before, but after what happened in the arena, his name had spread fast. "Don't worry. Let them come if they want to," Sebastian said, smiling slightly.…When Sebastian carried the Medcroft Cauldron into the convenience store, Nina and Lyanna both turned to look at him."There's something strange about this cauldron," Lyanna said, frowning. She could sense a frightening tendril of energy from it. It was an ancient, powerful object that was very mysterious, and it clashed with her ghostl
The Yutarians would be very likely to try and penetrate the three divine mountains to find the Reincarnation Pill if they were unable to find anything in other places.The Warriors that had been sent to Steinberg were probably only a distraction.Steinberg was just a small city, after all, and Sartvale was just a small state in Dramon that didn't have many legends in its history.The three divine mountains were different. Every single mountainous region contained countless legends and stories.The Medcroft had been named as the place where the Way of Wisdom had originated.Norlyn was named the home of deities.Meanwhile, Caela was called the gate to paradise. Even in the present day, there had been no one who had managed to explore the three divine mountains thoroughly. No one could reveal the secrets of those three divine mountains either."Madam Dragon, do you mean that we should delay them or destroy them here in Steinberg while we also send someone to keep an eye on the th
The losses they had suffered that night were too severe. More importantly, they had offended Jorvahn.Giovanni felt that there had been nothing wrong with his plan. The only mistake they had made was in allowing Saul to escape, which resulted in the entire thing getting exposed."Mr. Conti!" Luigi's voice came from the doorway as Giovanni was wiping down the blade."Please come in, Mr. Coppola," Giovanni said as he continued to wipe down the Yutarian saber.The door was pushed open, and Luigi walked into the room. When he saw that Giovanni was actually wiping down his Yutarian saber, his eyes widened."Mr. Conti, are you…"Giovanni smiled bitterly and said, "It's what our superiors want. I'm sure that someone will come and take over for me tomorrow morning."He sighed deeply.Luigi hastily pressed Giovanni's hand and said, "Mr. Conti, this has nothing to do with you. This is all due to my negligence."Giovanni shook his head slightly and said, "That is no longer important. How
Belinda nodded slightly and said, "Hold grand funerals for those who are dead and take care of their families.""Yes, Madam," Blake replied. He looked stern as he waved at the Warrior League apprentices. They all quickly picked up the corpses of the Warrior League apprentices on the ground and carried them into the cars.Someone took out gasoline and poured it over the assassins.Sebastian lit a cigarette and took a few drags. He then flung it at the pile of corpses.As flames roared into the air, Blake said coldly, "Get into the cars and let's go!"The procession of cars began driving toward Ventus Estate. …After Luigi had managed to escape, he stopped a few miles away. The assassins who had followed him slowly gathered together.After counting the people present, Luigi couldn't help sighing heavily. Out of over 300 assassins, almost half of them were dead. How was he going to explain this to Giovanni?"Warrior League!" Luigi clenched his fists viciously."Mr. Coppola, m
Blake was shocked to see that the apprentice had been killed right in front of his eyes. He waved quickly to his right and left.There was the sound of doors opening and closing as over 200 Warrior League apprentices jumped out of the cars.The rustling sound in the woods could be heard from either side of them."The assassins have caught up!" Saul said nervously.Although he was very confident in Sebastian's skills, he was still only one person. The Warrior League had more people, but the assassins were in the shadows. It was a disadvantageous situation for the Warrior League.There was a sharp whistling noise as countless throwing spikes shot out of the woods. Several Warrior League apprentices fell to the ground."Turn off the car headlights!" Sebastian shouted at the Warrior League members.All the car headlights were turned off at once, and it became pitch-black. Sebastian opened the car door softly and leaped into the woods. There was the crunch of bones breaking, and
"They're afraid that the Juwanian King Jorvahn will lead a force to Dramon and affect their plans. That's why they wanted to kill everyone. Their goal is to find the Reincarnation Pill in Dramon," Belinda said as she analyzed the situation.Sebastian frowned, deep in thought. Soon, he nodded in agreement.That was the only explanation that made sense.Otherwise, there was really no reason for the Yutarian Warriors to slaughter all the Yvantonian Warriors when there was no grudge between them."They killed all of my people. As long as you keep me safe, I'll tell King Jorvahn about everything that happened here. I can guarantee that King Jorvahn will destroy all of them, and he won't hold you responsible," Saul said urgently to Sebastian and Belinda. Sebastian and the Warrior League were Saul's last hope. They were still more than ten miles away from the city, and it would be impossible for him to flee there if he had to run. Besides, the enemy would be sure to chase after him if
A few other Warrior League apprentices went up to them. When they were close enough, one of them asked coldly, "What are you shouting about in the middle of the night?"Saul looked fearfully at them and asked, "Where's Mr. Ballard? I want to see him! Something huge has happened!"He was very pale, and he looked extremely afraid. The Warrior League apprentices frowned, and one of them immediately took out his phone to call Blake.Upon hearing Blake's voice, the apprentice told him about how Saul had run over to them to ask for help.Blake nodded and said, "Don't hang up yet. Let me ask Madam Dragon."Blake hurriedly rolled down the window and waved a hand at the cars behind him, indicating for them to stop temporarily."Madam Dragon, Yvanton's team leader has come to ask for help, and he bumped into some of our men who were fixing their car. Do you think…"Belinda and Sebastian were both startled. Sebastian had just killed Jorvahn's grandson, and now Saul had come to ask them
"That's right! This time, we must find the Reincarnation Pill!" said another Warrior.If Jorvahn did turn up in Dramon, the Yutarian Warriors would be wiped out by him. Yutaria had sent over 300 Warriors this time, not just to defeat Dramon's Warriors in the arena. They had an even more important mission. They had to stay in Dramon and find the Reincarnation Pill!There were only less than three years until the day when their ancestral god would be restored. The ancestral god would remain asleep forever if they couldn't get the Reincarnation Pill back within those three years.At that time, the islands of Yutaria might even sink into the sea because of the ancestral god's deep slumber. This was a secret that Yutaria had hidden for thousands of years."Kill them all so they won't have a chance to spread the news!" Giovanni finally made up his mind after hesitating for a while."Yes, sir!" The Warriors straightened up simultaneously and bowed to Giovanni.Luigi waved a hand
The news of how Jorvahn's grandson had been chopped into mincemeat and fed to dogs caused a commotion in the family at once.However, Dramon was too far away, and they didn't know enough about the situation there. Even though they wanted revenge, they would have to wait for the visiting team to return to Yvanton before they could gain more information and form a plan.…On the way back to the city, Belinda was worried for Sebastian and said, "Mr. Ballard, although there's nothing wrong with killing the grandson of the Juwanian King Jorvahn, chopping the two into mincemeat and feeding them to the dogs was a little inappropriate."She didn't just have connections with the high-level officials of Dramon, but she also had many friends in the international martial arts community. However, she had never had any dealings with Jorvahn before.Jorvahn had a terrible reputation in both Yarroland and Velkashan. He was extremely hard to deal with, and it wasn't because he was capable. It was
