"Rosé Corporation …"Upon hearing the name, Rosalie's cheeks instantly turned crimson. She appeared shy and girlish. No way …Did Dr. Ballard actually name the company after her? Could he possibly be interested in her?Seeing Rosalie frozen in place, her face blushing, Sebastian furrowed his brow in confusion. "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?" he asked. "Oh? No, nothing. I'll come pick you up later and go take care of the company first," Rosalie smiled, her face still displaying a shy expression.With that, she hurriedly got into her car and left the place.Sebastian glanced at the disappearing tail lights and shook his head.At this moment, Tommy hurried over. He nudged Sebastian's arm and raised his eyebrows as he grinned. "Sebastian, how's it going with that pretty lady?"Sebastian rolled his eyes, not bothering to answer. He turned to walk into the shop.The professionals were efficient and got the job done quickly. In less than half a day, everything had been clea
Rosalie smiled, lifting her chin in a self-congratulatory manner.Sebastian felt quite helpless. No. 7, Mercantile Lane, was the office building Sebastian and Whitney had visited three years ago.At that time, they had been attracted by its location, the surrounding environment, and the nearby café.However, they had to compromise due to the high rent. They ended up renting a small office space across the street from No. 7.Now, that building was entirely owned by Frostwave Corporation. In other words, Rosalie had opened his company right across from Frostwave Corporation's property.Feeling resigned, Sebastian glanced at Rosalie and asked, "Don't you know that the opposite building belongs to Frostwave Corporation?""Huh? Really? I had no idea. I just saw it recommended by someone, so I helped you rent it," Rosalie said, startled.Oh, no! She accidentally placed his company right across from Frostwave Corporation. Even if it wasn't intentional, how would Whitney perceive it
Whitney was shocked.After hanging up the phone, she stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for a long time, staring at No. 7, Mercantile Lane, the office building across the street.She had visited that office building three years ago with Sebastian. However, due to the high rent, they had chosen the current office building for Frostwave Corporation.In three years, Frostwave Corporation had already purchased this office building.Now, as Frostwave Corporation aimed to expand with a subsidiary, Whitney naturally chose the office building across the street.But unexpectedly, after six months of negotiations, she hadn't secured it. And today, Sebastian easily took it over.Three million in rent?Every month …Where did he get so much money?At this moment, Whitney was in turmoil. "Ms. Sutton, did you find out who rented it?" Mabel asked. "Sebastian," Whitney answered. She took a deep breath, her gaze coldly fixed on the office building."What? Sebastian? How is that
Mabel smirked coldly and said, "I just want Sebastian to understand the gap between him and our company! How do you think Sebastian will react if Henry wins in the first round?"At that time, does he still have the qualifications to boast before you?"Besides, it's also an excellent opportunity to increase publicity for Henry during this trial. It will be very beneficial for our company as well."I heard that this trial is crafted by the original team of Crestborne's Harmony Quest program! It will be broadcast first on several local channels in Steinberg and online platforms."If the program performs well, there's a good chance it will be broadcast nationally. By then, the entire medical conference audition hall competition will be live-streamed across all platforms nationwide throughout the day."If Henry becomes famous in one fell swoop, it means that our company has received free publicity in front of the people of Steinberg!"Whitney frowned. She pondered for a moment and tho
"You!" Mabel hesitated, her eyes flickering.She seemed to have actually said those words, but in this situation, how could she possibly do such a thing?"Sebastian! You're truly disgusting. I've never seen such a petty and narrow-minded man like you!" Mabel scorned with a look of disdain.Sebastian coldly chuckled, "So, Ms. Lucero, you're not planning to acknowledge your words?""Enough, Sebastian. You don't need to be so aggressive. Mabel was just venting. You don't have to take it so seriously," Whitney interjected, attempting to defuse the tension.After all, Mabel was her secretary. If she stripped naked and jumped off the cruise ship, it wouldn't just be embarrassing for Mabel but also for Whitney.Sebastian laughed derisively. "I'm being too aggressive? So, Ms. Sutton, this is how you distinguish right from wrong?""You!" Whitney exclaimed in frustration. She glared at Sebastian, and with a disdainful look at the elegant Rosalie by his side, she huffed, "I don't want to t
Sebastian took advantage of Rosalie's conversing with others to quietly come to a corner of the deck. Leaning against the railing, he held a glass of whiskey, enjoying the scenic beauty of the lake.The breeze wafted in, carrying the moist scene of the lake, refreshing his senses. The sensation was truly enchanting. In an instant, all his worries seemed to evaporate.Suddenly, the sound of high heels echoed from behind him.Sebastian frowned slightly. He watched as Whitney, who was in a vibrant red neckline gown, walked wearily toward him.Since it was dark, it seemed she hadn't noticed him. With both hands gripping the railing, eyes closed, and face turned upwards, she was savoring the caress of the lake breeze.At that instant, the wind blew through her hair, revealing her delicate and breathtakingly beautiful face.Absolutely stunning.Sebastian stared blankly, reminiscent of the feeling he had when he first met Whitney three years ago. In these years, she had changed a lot
Sebastian kneed Fergus, and the man ended up lying on the ground, clutching his stomach."Stop! Stop!" Fergus quickly begged for mercy as he saw Sebastian lifting his foot."Get lost!"Fergus got up and left, filled with frustration. He could only rub his eyes and muttered, "Sebastian! Just wait and see!"…On the entertainment deck of the cruise ship, Whitney stood at the entrance, waiting for Fergus.When she saw Fergus entering with his hand over his eyes, she asked in confusion, "What happened to your eyes?""That jerk Sebastian punched me," Fergus angrily explained.Whitney raised an eyebrow. He glanced at Fergus's bruised eyes and exclaimed, "Why would he do that?"She quickly found a staff to bring an ice pack for Fergus."Whitney, you're so kind. Thank you," Fergus said, taking the ice pack with a smiling face.Suddenly, he felt that getting hit might have been worth it. At least Whitney was concerned about him.Whitney was taken aback and explained, "Don't misunder
William leered at Whitney, his gaze becoming particularly invasive as it hovered over the paleness of her chest and her fair, long legs.Whitney felt uncomfortable under such a gaze but couldn't voice her displeasure."Ms. Sutton, we're all smart people here, so I'll be straightforward. When I saw you earlier, it was love at first sight. "I wonder if you could accompany me to my room for a few drinks. We can have a deep conversation and figure out how I can help."William, no longer bothering with pretenses, leered at Whitney with a lustful gaze.One of his hands boldly moved toward Whitney's leg.Caught off guard, Whitney immediately slapped William's wandering hand away and stood up. "Mr. Saunders, do you realize what you're saying?"William's expression immediately turned sour. He spoke in a low voice, "What's the matter, Ms. Sutton? Don't want my help anymore?"Since you came to ask for my assistance, you should understand the weight of the posts on the National Medical Fo
Cohen looked rather troubled as he said, "I'm not sure how to say this, Mr. Ballard. Please come to the Martial Arts Court, and you'll understand!"Sebastian nodded slightly and said to Unus, "Let's go!"As Candy watched Sebastian walk off, she felt as if her heart had been torn apart.Sebastian was so powerful! Why hadn't he said so earlier?Didn't men like showing off their strength and power in front of women? Why had he kept hiding his powers from her?If she had known earlier about how strong Sebastian was, she wouldn't have thought twice about giving herself completely to him."What should we do, Ms. Candy?" one of her bodyguards asked. They could no longer live in that villa when over 100 people had died in the yard. They had to move as soon as possible. Clearly, the villa was now a cursed place.Candy hesitated for a moment before calling one of her best friends. …When Sebastian was invited into the Martial Arts Court, he saw over a dozen corpses at the entrance an
Unus finally stopped fighting with the Lynches and revealed his true form. A humongous snake with black scales and a dragon's head that was close to 300 feet tall reared up into the sky. His bloody maw opened gently, and a strong suction force immediately pulled everyone in the Lynch family."Huh? What's that?" Maclin almost wet his pants in fright. It was a dragon!However, upon closer inspection, something didn't seem right. Dragons had four talons, but Unus' true form did not have any. Its body was smooth and pitch black, but it had the head of a dragon. It looked as if a dragon had been grafted onto a snake, or the other way around.It looked very strange, and there was a cursed energy emanating from it that sent a chill down everyone's spine.Unus' slightly open mouth was like a strong vacuum. The apprentices of the Lynch family were all sucked up into mid-air before falling right into his mouth. In a moment of distraction, Bartemius was also sucked up into the air.
Daxton collapsed and lay on the floor, convulsing violently.In the blink of an eye, over half of the Lynches' apprentices had been swallowed up by Unus.Bartemius stared at Unus in shock. He had swallowed over 50 people alive. But why hadn't his stomach expanded at all?Both Calder and Maclin felt their hairs stand on end with fear. Based on his tongue, which stretched out for several feet, they could only surmise that Unus was some kind of snake.However, they had no idea what kind of snake would be so ferocious. The truth was that they were laughably wrong. Unus wasn't a snake at all. He was a Devora!Even if their mentor was there, he wouldn't have recognized something like that. After all, Devoras had only appeared three times in tens of thousands of years of history. The first time they appeared was when the six kingdoms had been united into one by the First Emperor.The second was during the time of the Nomad King, although it had been wrongly named as another kind of
Chandler had echoed the heart of all martial arts practitioners in Dramon for the past 5,000 years. Sebastian nodded and said, "As expected of a member of the Gladius Sect. You have very high morals. What a pity! It's a huge pity!"Chandler could hear Sebastian's determination in his voice. Even if the Lynches decided not to fight that night, Sebastian would still not forgive them."Is there no other way?" Chandler asked, turning to look at Sebastian.Sebastian shook his head slightly and asked Unus, "Aren't you hungry?"Unus' eyes lit up at once. That was the best news he had heard for the past few days!Bartemius looked at Sebastian in confusion. He didn't understand why he kept asking the burly man beside him whether or not he was hungry.Laurie stepped forward and pointed at Sebastian as he yelled, "Ballard, there are over 100 of us. Even if we only punch you one time each, we can turn you into mincemeat!""One punch each? You'd have to be able to throw out that punch firs
The law enforcement team all stared at Sebastian in shock. Was he going to kill more than 100 members of the Lynch family on his own?Maclin and Calder didn't doubt it at all. If Branson or Kody were here, the Lynches wouldn't be a match for them even if they all gathered together, but even the two of them working together had almost died by Sebastian's hand.If Sebastian wanted to slaughter the entire Lynch family, it would be a piece of cake. At that thought, Maclin and Calder had no choice but to retreat until they were out of the front yard, looking in from afar. When the law enforcement team saw that the Gladius Sect members had left meekly, they followed suit as well.Candy stared in disbelief at the others' retreating figure, looking dazed. She had thought that she knew Sebastian very well and that she was nothing compared to the entire Lynch family.However, reality had taught her a vivid lesson. She had severely underestimated Sebastian's abilities, as well as his infl
Sebastian looked at the three members of the Gladius Sect in the distance. "You three are all the successors of the Gladius Sect. I used to be at the same level as your seniors. We've interacted before, and I don't wish to kill you here. What happened today has nothing to do with you. It's not too late to leave right now!"After Sebastian had spoken, both Calder and Maclin were furious. How old did Sebastian think he was?How could he say that he was of the same level as their senior?"You may be young, but you're very arrogant. I'd like to ask you which senior of mine you know well," Maclin said, smiling coldly.Sebastian gave him a brief smile and said, "It's not just your seniors. If we were to discuss this in detail, I'd probably be on the level of your mystic tier seniors!""You little…" Maclin was about to lose his temper when Chandler stopped him. "Can you tell us what your name is?" Calder asked, looking impassively at Sebastian."Sword Fiend and Sword Zealot!" Sebasti
"Your prestige?"Cohen looked as if he had heard a joke. He laughed heartily and asked in a sardonic tone, "Does your family have any prestige at all? Was the antiques dealer in Longville waylaid and killed by people sent by Colton?""Also, anyone in the antique street who get a good item will have their entire family slaughtered if they refuse to sell the item to you Lynches at a low price! Do you really think that I'm both deaf and blind? Every single person in the Lynch family has hands stained with blood!"Cohen paced back and forth as he counted all the crimes the Lynches had committed. Once he had finished, even the members of the law enforcement team looked at them with hatred.Not only were they taking things that belonged to others, they were even destroying entire families. The worst thing was that they didn't even let three-year-old children go and had them chopped up into mincemeat.Were they even human?Although the apprentices of the Nine Sects were also arrogant, t
Bartemius huffed and said, "Revenge!""Revenge?" Cohen sneered and asked, "Mr. Lynch Senior, you did receive Mr. Wentworth's command, didn't you?"The moment Joaquin's order had been given, the new rule of the Martial Arts Court had been delivered to the various elite martial arts families. And the Lynches had been the first to be notified.Bartemius had no choice but to nod and said, "We have received it."Cohen nodded and said, "Alright. That's good. Don't you know what kind of crime it is to trespass on private property as a Warrior?"Bartemius took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He controlled his emotions with difficulty and said, "Mr. Gabbard, to tell you the truth, both my son and grandson were killed by this person!" He pointed at Sebastian.Cohen nodded slightly and said, "So what if that's true? I'm asking you where you are right now!"As he spoke, he pointed at the earth beneath his feet."This is the home of Ms. Candy!" Daxton interrupted.Bartemius glare
Bartemius was giving Laurie and Oswald a way out while also destroying all of Candy's expectations. "Old man, whether or not you believe it, I just want to tell you that Roman died at the hands of one of your own!" Sebastian said, grinning. Bartemius was about to explode with anger. Sebastian still looked as if he was enjoying a show. However, the thing was that Roman might actually have been killed by Laurie. The Lynches had always treated the six retainers well. If Roman really had been killed by Laurie, didn't that mean Bartemius had been supporting an enemy for all these years? "Hmph! We won't discuss the rest for now. Today, I only want to see you!" Bartemius shouted, pointing at Sebastian. As soon as he finished, the Lynches' apprentices all pulled out their swords. "Ballard, you won't escape justice today!""I am going to chop you into pieces today!" They hooted, looking as if they were ready to swallow Sebastian whole. "My lord!" Unus looked beseechingly at Se
