It was a threat! It was a barefaced threat!From Jace's perspective, although Eugene was a figure of authority in Sunway's underworld, he was still just a thug. What right did he have to threaten the Beckards?The three Grandmasters standing behind Jace would be enough to completely overturn all of Eugene's forces in Sunway.Without Eugene's support, would the medicinal ingredient suppliers dare to go against the Beckards?"Hmph! You heard him! How dare thugs like you go against Mr. Beckard? You don't have self-awareness at all! If you don't want to see your family dead, take your people with you and get lost!" Fergus shouted.He was acting as if he was a guard dog. He rushed to the front and pointed accusingly at Eugene and Hans. He couldn't understand why Sebastian was so lucky. The man even managed to get Eugene to come personally to support him. In the past, Fergus would never have dared take this tone with Eugene, nor would he have openly opposed Hans. However, thing
Even if Nathan hadn't said anything, Zeke would have approved the license for the Griffins' clinic as soon as possible for Sebastian's sake."Alright, good." Nathan nodded. He turned to Sebastian and said, "Sebastian, thank you for curing me of my condition. However, this old bag of bones is always suffering from one ailment or another."Do you think you could open up a long-term convalescent room for me at the hospital under Arctic Snow Group?" he asked. Jace and Fergus turned deathly pale at once. Nathan was clearly full of energy. He didn't seem sick at all. He was obviously only doing it to support Sebastian.Jace cursed Sebastian inwardly. The look in his eyes was murderous as he stared fixedly at him. "Mr. Whitaker, what are you talking about? It's our honor to serve you," Sebastian said, nodding.Nathan chuckled and nodded. Suddenly, his expression darkened, and he turned to Jace and said, "I heard someone threatening Sebastian just now. "Did you say that you wanted to
"Come on, help Mr. Beckard put the floral arrangement onto the car!" Hans ordered, sneering. Two bodyguards hurried up to lift the flowers and place them on the hood of Jace's car.When Jace saw the flowers draped over his car, it immediately reminded him of a funeral hearse. He felt like he was about to throw up. An intense rage rose up in him, and he felt a dull pain in his chest. There was a cloyingly sweet taste at the back of his throat, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!"Sebastian! I will remember your insult to me today!" Jace was shaking violently, and he was only saved from falling over by Fergus, who hastily took his arm. "I do have some parting words for you, Mr. Beckard," Sebastian said, smiling coldly. "You'd better turn over a new leaf once you get back. Otherwise, you'll find that you'll need that flower arrangement very soon!" Jace gritted his teeth and laughed menacingly. He nodded and said, "Alright! I'll remember that! Let's go!" Nathan sighed
However, could Sebastian really go against the Beckards?After hesitating for a long time, Whitney walked quickly toward him. "Sebastian, wait!"Sebastian had just turned to go back inside, but he stopped when he heard Whitney calling out to him. His back was still turned toward her as he said, "What can I help you with, Ms. Sutton?"Was he really addressing her so formally? The distant way he was talking to her made Whitney's heart wrench in pain.She took a few deep breaths, and when she had finally calmed down slightly, she said, "Sebastian, I don't know what kind of relation you have with Mr. Targery Senior, but Mr. Whitaker Senior only came to thank you."You can't possibly think that Mr. Whitaker Senior would jeopardize his relationship with the Beckards for your sake, do you?"The power of the Beckards is beyond what you can imagine. You have no idea how terrifying these prestigious families from Janover are!"Frostwave Corporation already has over a billion in assets, bu
Hans and the other wealthy businessmen were in the event hall of Arctic Snow Group, having several rounds of drinks.Suddenly, the doors opened, and four armed soldiers barged in. They all stood to attention. "Salute!"Silence fell in the entire hall at once. The young man put his hands behind his back, and his shiny military boots clomped heavily on the marble floor.Eugene, Hans, and all the wealthy businessmen were frozen in shock.Hans slowly put down his raised glass. He had an ominous feeling, and he looked meaningfully at one of his subordinates. The subordinate nodded and ran swiftly to the inner hall.Sebastian was chatting casually with Nathan. He had only just returned to his seat when Hans' subordinate burst in. "M-Mr. Ballard… S-Something's happened! You…" The subordinate glanced at Nathan, who was seated in the center, and he swallowed the rest of his sentence."Alright. You can go." Sebastian waved a hand and turned to say to Nathan, "Mr. Whitaker Senior, Rosal
Before Zeke could finish speaking, Liam interrupted him coldly. "Mr. Fisher, please tell Mr. Ballard who my grandfather is!"Sweat beaded on Zeke's forehead. He couldn't afford to offend either Liam or Sebastian!"Whoever your grandfather is, you need to learn to respect others! Hasn't your grandfather ever taught you to be polite?""You little—" Liam's eyes narrowed at Sebastian's words, and he raised a hand as if to strike. "Mr. Holman, calm down!" Zeke hastily went up to pull at Liam. He smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Mr. Ballard is very busy today…""Let go!" Liam shook him off, sending Zeke flying several feet away. He crashed into a nearby table, sending the dishes on it crashing to the ground.Sebastian frowned and turned sharply to look at Liam."What's all this noise?" At that moment, Nathan's voice came from behind Sebastian. Liam glanced behind Sebastian, his pupils constricted when he saw Nathan walking slowly into the hall with Rosalie's help!"Commander Whita
"Sebastian, let Mr. Whitaker Senior finish talking." Rosalie saw that the atmosphere had suddenly become awkward, so she quickly glossed things over and poured Nathan another cup of tea.Sebastian hesitated, and his features relaxed slightly as he said to Nathan, "Mr. Whitaker Senior, go ahead and say whatever you have to say. I'll listen."Nathan's smile was restored slightly. "Sebastian, it's like this…"Liam's grandfather, Wyatt Holman, had been Nathan's comrade for many years. Due to a relapse of an old injury, he had been to all the major hospitals in Janover, but they hadn't been able to help him.Recently, he had returned to the sanatorium in Sunway. Although he was supposedly there to recuperate, the truth was that he just wanted to be back in his hometown. Wyatt had told Nathan more than once that if he had to die, he wanted to die in his hometown. Nathan had been planning to ask Sebastian to intervene. After all, Sebastian had cured his own chronic condition.However
There was the sound of metal breaking and crumpling, and Sebastian's car was crushed into a flattened metal disc. At that moment, a gunshot rang out. Sebastian was very familiar with the sound. It was a sniper rifle!As the thought flashed through his mind, his body jumped into action.He had to get off the bridge as soon as possible because there was no cover at all there. He was a living, breathing target for the sniper in the distance.At that moment, the drivers of the road roller and the truck both raised submachine guns and began shooting wildly at Sebastian.However, Sebastian was too nimble. All they could see was the remnant of a shadow as countless shots whizzed past Sebastian's cheek.Sebastian dared not stop at all because he could see three red dots of light sweeping over him. There were three snipers!Sebastian didn't even have time to get rid of the two drivers. He could only run ahead with all his might.In the blink of an eye, he had run off the bridge, but
Sebastian shook his head slightly. Even a witch doctor wouldn't be able to turn a living human being into a dried corpse within just two days, let alone a traditional medicine doctor.Sebastian had seen something like this before in Elton's home. There had been over 20 dried corpses there.However, those corpses hadn't had their internal organs removed. That meant that there were people capable of doing such a thing, but Elton had just been slightly less cruel.Or perhaps the internal organs hadn't held any value for him, while the organs were very valuable to the current murderer."I'm very sorry, but there is no such technique in traditional medicine. However, it does seem very similar to some of the corpse refining techniques found in the mystic sects. Elton Reynolds once used this kind of black magic as well," Sebastian said to Larys and Vince as he pointed at one of the photos. Vince glanced at the photo and looked as if he had been forced to swallow a bitter pill. He asked,
Sally and Crystal looked pleadingly at Whitney before running out of the convenience store, looking chastened.When Crystal and Sally had left, Sebastian walked out of Whitney's room with Larys, Vince, and the others."Sit down," Sebastian said to Larys and Vince as he pointed at the couch in the living room.After he was seated, Vince didn't wait for Sebastian to ask anything before he sighed and said, "Sebastian, we shouldn't have troubled you for this, but you're an expert in traditional medicine. Look at this photo."Vince took out a photo and handed it to him.There was a dried corpse in the photo, but based on what it was wearing, it wasn't a corpse from ancient times. It was wearing a modern school uniform. Judging from the height of the corpse, it was a young girl no older than 15. "Is this…" Sebastian frowned, trailing off. "Mr. Ballard, this girl went missing on the 8th. We thought she had run into some kind of pervert, and we were searching for her as a missing pers
The moment Sebastian reached the door to the convenience store, Sebastian heard the sound of women crying. He listened closely and realized that it was Sally and Crystal!Why had they come? "Whitney, you have to help me! I only have one daughter! If anything happens to her, I might as well die!""That's right! Shannon has been missing for three days, and there's no sign of her at all. The police officers are being vague, and your aunt has been trying to ask everyone she can for help. Nobody is paying her any attention. "Why don't you ask Sebastian to help and use his connections? He knows Chief Weist pretty well, doesn't he? It's just one phone call for him." Crystal's voice came from inside. When Lyanna and Nina saw Sebastian enter, they hurried up to him. Sebastian waved a hand at them and strode over to Whitney's room. He pushed the door open and walked in. At the sound of the door opening, Crystal and Sally both stopped crying and turned to look at Sebastian."Oh, it's
Even a secular person like Zane couldn't have done what Branson and Kody had done. Sebastian's gaze swept over Branson and Kody. He said coldly, "If I didn't still have a use for you, I would kill you both today! Get lost!"As soon as he said that, the two swordsmen looked as if they had received great mercy. They thanked him profusely and turned to flee. The remaining Fate Sect apprentices were at a loss after losing their leader. They all knelt in front of Sebastian."Mr. Ballard, we are willing to guard this valley for you and follow your commands. Please have mercy and spare our lives," they all shouted loudly. Sebastian waved his hand and said, "You may all stand. This valley isn't anyone's, and I don't need you to guard it for me. However, before the sun sets tomorrow, you must transport all these medicinal herbs to Steinberg!"Sebastian wrote an address and handed it to one of the Fate Sect apprentices in the lead. "Once you've delivered the medicinal herbs, you'll be f
Godfrey didn't dare to hesitate. He raised his sword quickly to defend himself. However, this time, Scarlet Cloud was unable to withstand the terrifying bolt of lightning, and it split in half.Godfrey spat out blood as he was assailed by the backlash from his weapon!He was filled with regret. If he hadn't insisted on battling Sebastian for the sake of his pride, he wouldn't have suffered such a defeat. Sebastian had given him a chance to turn over a new leaf. If he had accepted his defeat with good grace, Sebastian wouldn't necessarily have tried to kill him. However, he had made the choice to join forces with Branson and Kody to kill Sebastian. He no longer had any room for negotiation. When Godfrey looked up once more and stared into Sebastian's ice-cold eyes, he felt his heart jolt. It was the first time he had felt so close to death, as if he already had one foot in the grave. As everyone watched, Godfrey fell to his knees in front of Sebastian and begged, his voice t
Sebastian curled his lips, and he flashed them a cool smile.According to the division of levels in the martial arts community, Martial Sages was the highest level one could attain, at least thus far.Although Branson and Kody were only at the third level of the Martial Sage realm, they were already terrifying entities among the mystic martial arts sects.However, that was just in comparison to others. If they were categorized according to the individual skills of practitioners, they were only two levels higher than Sebastian.They had the skills of someone at the second level of the foundation phase.However, the biggest difference between practitioners of the Way of Wisdom and Warriors was that Warriors could only use their body and their training in vital energy to attain a level of skill that surpassed that of ordinary people.Practitioners of the Way of Wisdom were different. Not only did they have formidable powers in battle, they also had the help of divine skills.Any pr
Godfrey looked extremely grim. He had never imagined that his trump card would crumble so quickly in front of Sebastian.He had also never expected Sebastian's martial arts skills to be as good as those of Branson and Kody. That was what shocked him the most.Sebastian was extraordinary compared to those in the mystic martial arts sects.Godfrey was now suffering from the backlash and was severely injured. He would be sure to die if he tried to continue the fight with Sebastian. However, if he just admitted defeat, how could he continue to hold his head up high in the future?In a flash, Godfrey turned to look at Branson and Kody in the distance.There was a look of determination in his eyes as he said to them, "Mr. Hartson, Mr. Jagger, I've come up against a huge obstacle today. If you're willing to help, I'll be willing to give you 30 Breakthrough pills."Branson and Kody had been enjoying the show, but at Godfrey's request, they exchanged looks.Although they were expert Ma
"Even if we wait until tomorrow, we're going to wait until Mr. Ballard comes out." Perseus cut Cassian off. Though he appeared weak sitting in the wheelchair, his words were clear. "Mr. Windsor Senior, we can't just stand by and watch as something happens to Sebastian!" Rosalie was filled with anxiety. If it wasn't for the fact that she was unfamiliar with the path, she would have rushed back to the valley to look for Sebastian already.Even if she died, she couldn't abandon him!"None of us are Warriors. If we enter the valley again, we'll only become a burden to him. It would be best to wait for Mr. Ballard to come out. If anything happens to him, we can think of a way to avenge him," Perseus said shakily, trying his best to focus."Grandpa!" Rosalie turned to look at Oliver. After a pause, Oliver nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Windsor Senior is right. We'll only cause trouble for Sebastian if we go back. We might as well just wait here."Oliver looked coldly at Cassian.Sin
"You're as rich as they come. You sold that Life Draining pill for billions, and you're not poor at all. However, as the saying goes, those who are unrighteous will always end up self-destructing," Sebastian retorted coldly, flashing him an icy smile.A ferocious smile suddenly flashed across Godfrey's sinister face as he said, "Sebastian, you joined forces with the Windsors to plot against me. Do you think that you'll succeed in ruining my reputation and that you can do as you please with me?"Godfrey's eyes were filled with a murderous rage, and he flung his arm aside. With a scarlet bolt of light, a bright red sword that was three feet long appeared in his hand.Even from a distance, everyone could feel the flaming energy on the crimson sword. From time to time, bright red flames sparked on its blade!Sebastian immediately recognized the sword that Godfrey was holding. It was the long-lost Scarlet Cloud. It was a very rare weapon, and also a unique vessel.Unlike the Sky Devo
