"Dr. Ballard, I'm sorry. Please save my grandfather. He… He's not going to make it." Tears rolled down Liam's cheeks.When he started kneeling there, he had already made up his mind to remain there until Sebastian agreed to help him.Sebastian had already heard about Wyatt's condition from Nathan. The Stabilizing Charm he had been preparing inside was for Wyatt.The reason why he was so cold to Liam was to teach him a lesson. However, Sebastian was touched by Liam's willingness to kneel just to save his grandfather. It showed how much Liam loved his grandfather.Thinking of this, Sebastian pulled Liam up."Dr. Ballard." Liam looked at Sebastian with anticipation."Alright. Mr. Holman, bring me to Mr. Holman Senior," Sebastian spoke up slowly."Have you really forgiven me?" Liam asked, his eyes still red and teary.Sebastian nodded slightly, a hint of approval in his gaze toward Liam. To save his loved ones, he could cast aside all worldly concerns and even relinquish all prid
After all, Ronny was the most famous doctor in Sunway. If not for the director, Joe Stackhouse, Ronny wouldn't have come all the way to treat Wyatt.However, Ronny was also helpless when it came to Wyatt's condition."Thank you, Mr. Stackhouse," Liam said to the director, adding, "But Dr. Ballard can treat my grandfather."It was clear that Liam had changed his attitude and tone toward Sebastian, and he wasn't as arrogant as before."What? Who's Dr. Ballard? Nobody can guarantee to cure Mr. Holman Senior." Ronny looked at Liam angrily.He added, "Mr. Holman Senior has a piece of shrapnel in his lungs, and even the most advanced technology couldn't retrieve it. As long as it remains, no medication can help."Sebastian chuckled lightly and said, "It's only one small piece. It's not that serious, is it?"What? Only a small piece?Ronny's face darkened when he heard that."I'm starting to doubt your medical skills. Do you know what this means? It means his organs will shut down! E
Ronny found Sebastian's words to be meaningless.Wyatt was a higher-up in Janover's military region. He wouldn't have waited until now if he could be treated. It was impossible that the doctors in Janover were not as competent as Sebastian.Sebastian frowned when he saw Wyatt's pale face and weak breathing. It seemed like Wyatt's condition was even worse than he had expected.Sebastian initially planned to use the Stabilizing Charm to take the shrapnel out, then proceed with acupuncture. However, he had to stabilize Wyatt's condition first."In Mr. Holman Senior's current condition, we shouldn't remove the shrapnel first. Instead, we need to stabilize his vital energy to prevent any accidents. Would you agree, sir?" Sebastian turned to Ronny."Hmph! Easy for you to say. Even I'm not confident about this, and you're just a young upstart. How could you possibly stabilize his condition? Besides, his issues aren't limited to lung failure; his internal organs are showing signs of compl
Ronny put on his reading glasses and carefully examined the herb. Still uncertain, he turned to Sebastian. "Dr. Ballard, do you think this herb is a century old?"After seeing Sebastian's prescription, Ronny's attitude toward him had completely changed. He now regarded Sebastian with the respect of a student toward a mentor.Sebastian glanced at the snow lily in the box and nodded slightly. "Yes, this is indeed a hundred-year-old snow lily."Seeing Sebastian confirm it, Liam was overjoyed. "Dr. Ballard, does this mean my grandfather can be saved?""Yes, let's start by having him take this medicinal decoction," Sebastian replied with a firm nod."That's wonderful! My grandfather will be saved. Dr. Ballard, if you can save him, our entire family will be eternally grateful to you," Liam said respectfully."It's just a small effort. No need for such gratitude, Mr. Holman. However, only the root of this snow lily should be used, not the petals. Using the petals could harm Mr. Holman S
If it were just Sebastian's medical skills, Ronny wouldn't have been so reverent. Traditional medicine originated from Dainism, and it was now rare to find doctors who were also proficient in Dainism practices. Sebastian's extraordinary medical skills and profound Dainism abilities were truly awe-inspiring.Sebastian stepped forward and helped Ronny up. "No need for this, sir. You were just worried about Mr. Holman Senior's condition and didn't want to entrust him to an incompetent doctor."Ronny's face filled with remorse as he forced a smile. "Dr. Ballard, compared to you, I feel utterly inadequate. Your medical skills and moral character far surpass mine."Sebastian patted Ronny's shoulder and turned his gaze to Wyatt on the bed. Wyatt's complexion had regained some color, and the monitors indicated that his bodily functions were improving.Upon seeing his grandfather finally out of danger, Liam's eyes welled up with tears of joy."Dr. Ballard, thank you for saving my grand
What?Rosalie's face turned pale. A billion might be a small amount for the Griffin family. However, it was a huge amount for Rosalie now."Wait for me. I'm coming right away." Rosalie rushed out without even eating her breakfast.When she reached the company, she found out that someone had messed with the deal with Loraeno Group. The culprit was Russell Merlotte, their business partner.After investigating everything, Rosalie called Russell."Hey, Ms. Griffin. How may I help you?" a middle-aged man spoke up on the phone."Russell, why do you think I'm calling you? Don't you understand what happened with the Loraeno Group's deal?" Rosalie's voice was cold, and her face was flushed with anger.Russell replied indifferently, "Loraeno Group? I remember that order was supposed to be in collaboration with the Griffin family. Now that the Griffin family has cut ties with you, well…"Ms. Griffin, you've been in the business world long enough to understand this, I presume. It's not abo
"What are you doing?" Rosalie pulled her hand back and stared at Russell coldly."Russell, I'm telling you, your actions are equivalent to fraud. You'd better compensate for the loss my company had incurred, or we shall meet in court."Russell was surprised to see Rosalie's stern look and attitude. In his memory, she had always been a gentle lady, never associated with being assertive."Ms. Griffin, everything requires evidence. Our company is tight on funds, so pulling out our investment is perfectly justified. How does that count as fraud? "And I advise you to think carefully. The Griffin family won't be backing you up anymore," Russell said with a look that suggested he had Rosalie completely cornered"Is that so? I don't believe there's no justice in this world," Rosalie replied with a cold smile."Justice? Like I said, everything needs evidence." Russell sneered, shaking his head in disdain as his eyes roamed over Rosalie's body.After a moment, Russell said with a lechero
"Sebastian, I didn't want you to worry about me," Rosalie began. "This is a contract signed by the company a year ago, and it has nothing to do with Arctic Snow Group, so I—""It's okay. Leave it to me," Sebastian reassured her while gently patting her shoulder with a smile.Russell eyed Sebastian up and down. He sensed the connection between him and Rosalie from their expressions alone. He smirked and said, "Who do you think you are? I suggest you mind your own business, or you won't be able to handle the consequences.""Enough with the nonsense. Apologize!" Sebastian pointed at Rosalie.To Rosalie? Russell sneered, shaking his head. "You think you can play hero now, don't you? Look at yourself. One call from me, and you'll be begging for mercy."In Russell's eyes, Sebastian was just another pretty boy with no real abilities.Russell was confident in his financial power and connections, so he figured he could easily call a few thugs to teach Sebastian a lesson. He would neve
Raphael felt that he was already showing Sebastian respect by giving him 5,000 dollars. If it had been anyone else, he wouldn't even have given him 50 cents, let alone 5,000 dollars!Even if he didn't pay a single penny, the mention of the name Demongate should have been enough to make Sebastian hand the Soulbell over to him."Mr. Fonda, you—""Mr. Ballard, as well as everyone here, I hope that you can understand something," Raphael cut Blake off. "The Soulbell has always belonged to Demongate. No matter how Mr. Ballard got it or whom he got it from, he should return it to its rightful owner unconditionally and present it to Demongate."I came personally and even gave Mr. Ballard a tidy sum of money for his hard work. I've done more than I needed to."Raphael clasped his hands behind his back and looked slightly contemptuous as he continued. "I don't just represent myself. I represent all of Demongate."He was clearly threatening them."Are you threatening me?" Sebastian laughed
Sebastian frowned, and he looked icily at Raphael. It had only been two short days since he had killed Terence. How had Raphael gotten the news?"You have a very efficient news network, Mr. Fonda. May I ask how you know that I have the Soulbell?" he asked, his eyes narrowing coldly at Raphael."In this world, you shouldn't do things you don't want people to know about," Raphael said, smiling contemptuously. He clasped his hands behind his back.Raphael was acting as if Sebastian had stolen Demongate's sacred vessel, and he was here to accuse him of doing it. "Mr. Ballard, there are rules in society, and the mystic martial arts sects have their own principles. As for who told me this news, it's not convenient for me to say. I came here today mainly to ask you to give the Soulbell back." Raphael made his intention clear. He clearly had no qualms about doing so.However, Blake frowned as soon as he heard him.According to the rules of the mystic martial arts sects, vessels like the
"It's a good thing I was here tonight. You may not be so lucky next time," Lyanna said. She got up to leave, but Rosalie rose hurriedly and called after her, "Wait!""Is there anything else?" Lyanna turned her head slightly and fixed her beautiful eyes on Rosalie."What kind of person is Sebastian? I mean…" After Lyanna had told her who she was, Rosalie felt as if her thoughts were in turmoil. Even Sebastian, whom she had always loved and admired, had suddenly become unfamiliar to her.If Sebastian had just been a traditional medicine doctor, she could have accepted it. However, now Sebastian was keeping a female spirit around him. Not only that, the spirit was his servant. This was beyond the scope of Rosalie's understanding. Sebastian was rapidly becoming like a riddle to her."Have you heard of sages? Mr. Ballard is probably like them," Lyanna said. In a flash, she had disappeared without a trace.Rosalie remained quiet for a long time before she started the engine once mor
The short, fat man who had smashed up Rosalie's car window tossed his rock aside and hurried over. His eyes were bulging as he looked greedily at the beautiful woman standing in front of them. She was just as pretty as Rosalie was."Boss, I deserve some credit for the work I've done, don't I? Can you give me this chick?" the short, fat man asked, rubbing his hands together as he licked his lips.Lyanna looked at Chet and the short, fat man. She covered her mouth and giggled as she said, "I don't know what kind of day it is, but I do know that next year, this will be your death anniversary! Which of you wants to die first?""I… Huh?" Chet had been about to lunge forward and grab Lyanna, but then he realized what she had said.It would be their death anniversary on this day next year? What did that mean?Before he could recover his senses, Lyanna tittered and nodded. "Alright, you'll die first."She flicked her sleeve aside and revealed her slender, pale hands. Her foot-long, brigh
When Chet and the lackeys looked more closely, they saw that the car parked in the distance was a personal car and that there was a gorgeous woman sitting inside it.They were delighted at their good fortune. This was an opportunity they could not miss!As they were in such a remote area, they barely ever saw any women, let alone a beautiful one like Rosalie.Therefore, Chet gave the order, and the thugs all surged forward. They were barely able to contain their excitement."Hello, beautiful. What has upset you so much at this late hour? Tell us about it. Even if we can't make you happy, you can make us happy!" The short, fat man in the lead reached out to pull Rosalie's car door open as he spoke.Rosalie was beside herself with fear. She hastily locked the car and pulled her phone out of her bag as she screamed loudly at the men outside her car. "What do you want? Stay away from my car, or… or I'll call the police!"The fat, short man glanced at Rosalie, who looked frightened an
Sebastian heard Rosalie sobbing behind him. He turned around abruptly, but Rosalie rushed over to him and slapped him in the face before he could explain."Sebastian! I rushed over here as soon as I heard that something had happened in Steinberg! You… You're a jerk!" Rosalie was weeping. She had been planning on telling Sebastian on the day of the martial arts battle about the good news of the huge order that Arctic Snow Group had received from Lorcan. However, while eavesdropping on a conversation between Oliver and Belinda, she found out about the huge commotion over in Steinberg.When she heard that all eight of the Celestial realm experts that the Warrior League had sent to protect Whitney had all been killed and that the latter had disappeared, Rosalie couldn't contain her anxiety.She had rushed back to Steinberg at once.When she found no sign of Sebastian at the Moonlyte Club, she had come to the convenience store instead.She saw that it was lit up and had run straight
Hank and Taylor broke out into a cold sweat when they saw what had happened. Terence was like a god to them!Who would have thought that Terence, who had had the upper hand just a moment ago, would have stood vacantly on the spot just because Sebastian had thrust the rusty bronze mirror at him? He had just stood still and waited for Sebastian to come and kill him!"Run, hurry!" Before he could think too much about it, Taylor growled in a low voice and turned to flee to the foot of the mountain.Hank only came to his senses when Taylor was already far away from him. He was about to go after him, but he had only gone a few steps when a ghostly, feminine figure appeared and blocked his path."You—" The moment Hank turned, his soul almost left his body from fright at what he saw.Only a moment had passed since Terence's murder, but the eerie woman in front of him had already cut off more than a dozen heads. Whenever she cut a head off, dark energy would be sucked into her emerald
Terence wielded his sword. Wherever the blade pointed, the air was sliced apart instantly!Sebastian forced himself to concentrate and raised his sword to shield his chest!There was a clang as Terence's sword crashed down on Sebastian's, and sparks flew up at once. Sebastian couldn't help but take a few steps back. He felt the energy roiling inside him and almost spat out a mouthful of blood."My lord!" Nina felt extremely anxious when she saw that Sebastian was at a disadvantage. She ignored Sebastian's previous command and leaped over to him to hold him up. "My lord, are you alright?" Nina asked in concern. Sebastian was slightly flushed, and he looked as if his energy was becoming erratic. He shook his head slightly and pushed Nina away. He handed Whitney to her and said, "Protect Whitney well. If anything happens to her, come and see me with your head!" Nina turned to Rose, who was beside her. She wanted to protest, but Sebastian waved a hand and said, "Lyanna was hur
"It's a pity that you'll never understand," Sebastian said.Terence's face flushed. Who would've expected a young man in his twenties like Sebastian to be so perceptive? He was even more advanced than Terence in the Way of Wisdom!"My lord, I was trapped in the front yard just now. No matter how I walked, I couldn't get through the door. That's why…" Lyanna trailed off and hung her head, looking shamefaced.Technically, she was a spirit. How had she fallen prey to the Bewitchment spell? Even Lyanna was puzzled."It's the Soulbell!" Sebastian turned abruptly to look at Terence.Lyanna felt that she couldn't have been trapped by the Bewitchment spell because she didn't actually have a body. Meanwhile, Nina was a thousand-year-old snake deity, and ordinary formations couldn't contain her at all.Therefore, there was only one possibility. Terence had external help. The Soulbell was the only possible explanation.Nina and Rose arrived as well."Protect Whitney," Sebastian said befor
