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
"Handle them, but don't go too far. Don't kill anyone," Sebastian ordered softly."Yes, Mr. Ballard!" Hans then signaled to Brady. Without a word, Brady grabbed the security team leader by the collar and kicked him to his knees, then dragged him out."Drag them all out. If anyone dares to resist, break their limbs!" Hans instructed, pointing to the stunned security guards."Yes, sir!" the men in black responded in unison.In the next second, the men in black quickly stepped forward, grabbed the security guards, and roughly pushed them out the door. Soon, the entrance was filled with the sounds of agonized screams.At this moment, Russell was so terrified that he lost control of his bowels. His face was ashen as he looked at Sebastian. He realized that Sebastian was the real deal.Without breaking a sweat, Sebastian had taken care of dozens of his men while maintaining a calm demeanor. His composure was genuine, not something that could be faked."All you needed to do was apolo
"Report to the police? What about I call Chief Weist and help you make the report?" Hans asked with a scoff.Russell was stunned at his words. It was clear that Hans wasn't just some random thug; he was a big shot of Steinberg's underworld.This was bad."N-no, I-I'm sorry. Please, forgive me!"Although Russell was a wealthy man with power and status, he still couldn't afford to offend Hans. He was even more afraid of Sebastian, whom Hans showed respect to.However, he couldn't figure out how Rosalie found a powerful backer so soon after the Griffin family disowned her."Smart." Hans grabbed Russell over after he finished speaking.This time, Russell behaved. He knelt before Rosalie and bowed to her.Sebastian raised his foot and placed the tip on Russell's cheek.Russell was stunned and looked up in fear. "Sir, I have already done it as I was told and apologized to Ms. Griffin. Please, let me go."Sebastian looked at Russell. "Mr. Merlotte, right? You've always cooperated we
After Hans and the others left, Sebastian and Rosalie went back to Arctic Snow Group.Rosalie seemed worried on the way back.Previously, they were only targeted by Bashmore Group. Although Rosalie was somewhat worried, she still had some confidence. After all, with the market share of Arctic Snow Mask, Arctic Snow Group's survival was not in question.Even if Bashmore Group couldn't obtain the formula of Arctic Snow Mask, they couldn't do anything against Arctic Snow Group.But now, things were different. Alec was the second son of the Griffin family. Regardless of Rosalie being in charge of a club and a hospital, she was still a member of the Griffin family.Alec could affect Arctic Snow Group inside out as long as he wanted to."Sebastian, I have an idea, but I'm not sure if you would agree to it," Rosalie suddenly spoke up after a moment of hesitation.Sebastian chuckled. "Maybe, we both have the same thoughts."Rosalie was surprised and frowned. "You also have a plan? Le
The middle-aged man walked up to Sebastian and shook his hand. "Mr. Ballard, I heard from Mr. Yates that you have excellent medical skills, which is why I came to meet you."I heard that Bashmore Group has been making things hard for you. If you need my help, just let me know. It's a great pleasure for me to serve you, Mr. Ballard," said Theodore as he handed Rosalie and Sebastian a name card."I'm sure that's not all you came to say, right?"Sebastian took the name card and pointed toward the couch, signaling Theodore to have a seat.Theodore sat down and said, "Mr. Ballard, I have been paying attention to you ever since you participated in the traditional medicine competition."But I'm not someone who can easily get to know a person like you. Thankfully, I have Mr. Yates's help to guide me to you."To be honest, a year ago, my company, in collaboration with the World Medical Association, developed an anti-cancer drug. During the experimental phase, the results were quite promis
"That's right." Sebastian smiled and took a sip of tea as he looked at Trevor silently.Under Sebastian's questioning gaze, Trevor looked very uncomfortable. He even turned back to avoid Sebastian's gaze.Theodore looked at Trevor, and his heart sank. However, Trevor was his nephew. He wouldn't really question Trevor in front of Rosalie and Sebastian."Mr. Ballard, I heard from Mr. Yates that you know everything in medicine. Can you…" Theodore hesitated before taking out a check from his pocket. He handed it to Sebastian and said, "This check is worth a hundred million dollars. Please help us, and we'll thank you with whatever we can in the future."Sebastian didn't take the check and just glanced at it."Do you think it's too little? Do you know that foreign experts only have a salary of fifty million per year? We are now offering a hundred million just for you to have a look and make some amendments. This is already an honor for you!" Trevor growled as he pointed at Sebastian.
Rosalie didn't expect Sebastian to pass such a big contract to her.At the late stages of cancer, extending life by even one year, let alone five years, would be nothing short of a miraculous feat. Once this drug was released, it was bound to become a global bestseller. The patent fees alone would likely amount to astronomical figures."No, Sebastian. I can't—"Sebastian shook his head and cut Rosalie off, "You lost everything for me. This is nothing."Rosalie felt a warmth surge up within her. It seemed that Sebastian had always remembered the things she had done for him."Ahem." Theodore coughed slightly and smiled. "Mr. Ballard, I will send this to our R&D team. Once I get the result, I will sign the contract with Ms. Griffin. How about that?"To be frank, Theodore still had doubts about Sebastian.Although Ezra mentioned that Sebastian was a medical expert, this was an anti-cancer drug that would cause an uproar globally if it was effective.If Sebastian could come up wit
