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
Sebastian frowned as he glanced at the middle-aged manager approaching him, his brow slightly furrowed. "You all have quite the timing," he said coldly. "When he was being rough to a woman earlier, why didn't you intervene?"The manager's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he frowned. "Sir, I apologize, but we have no authority to interfere in disputes between guests. However, if our property is damaged, we cannot ignore it."Obviously, it was a weak excuse.Sebastian chuckled coldly, looking down at Russell on the ground, and said coldly, "Rest assured, any losses here will be compensated."Russell wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and gritted his teeth. "Young man, do you mind if I make a phone call? With just one call, I can end your life! Do you believe it?"Sebastian nodded indifferently and said, "Call someone? Sure, I would like to see how powerful you are."After speaking, Sebastian lifted his foot and pulled Russell up from the ground.Russ
A few brave diners carried their utensils and moved to tables further away to continue their meals.Instead of panicking, Rosalie appeared completely calm and didn't show the slightest hint of nervousness.After all, she had seen Sebastian in action before. Even the Beckard family couldn't do anything to him, so how could these few security guards possibly be his match?She had only tried to dissuade Sebastian earlier because she didn't want to cause trouble. But since trouble was unavoidable, Rosalie was no longer as tense as before.Seeing so many people charging toward Sebastian, an elderly diner nearby quietly said to him, "Young man, it's better not to be too headstrong. They have strength in numbers. If necessary, call the police. It's not shameful."Sebastian responded with a calm smile to the elderly diner. He then turned his head to look at Russell and said, "Mr. Merlotte, are these the people you called?"Russell, seeing his reinforcements arrive, regained some confiden
Just as the security guards were getting back on their feet, a few more urgent screeches of brakes were heard from the entrance!Soon, dozens of men dressed in black suits and wielding machetes stepped out of a fleet of Mercedes-Benz cars. They marched toward Galaxis Restaurant in perfect formation.The imposing presence they exuded was incomparable to the security guards summoned by Russell.If the earlier appearance of the security guards was merely intimidating, the arrival of these men was truly awe-inspiring.Even the elementary school students seated by the window could tell that these two groups were on completely different levels."Mr. Merlotte, my people have arrived too," Sebastian said with a calm smile and looked at the dumbfounded Russell.The sheer presence of these men was terrifying; each one had a dark and menacing expression. Their gleaming machetes caused Russell to shiver in fear.Leading them was Hans, who, upon entering Galaxis Restaurant, walked straight u
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
