"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
Feeling a wave of despair, Trevor's spirits plummeted. After some time, he finally got out of the car.Theodore then slammed the door shut, and the driver drove off, leaving Trevor staring blankly after the car. "Sebastian Ballard, you bastard!" Trevor shouted angrily, his hatred for Sebastian increasing by the second.If not for Sebastian's words, Theodore wouldn't have suspected him, and he wouldn't be exiled into a new territory.At this time, Trevor received a phone call. "Mr. Northman, it seems like you're in quite some trouble, hm?" the person said teasingly. It was Jace.Trevor frowned and said, "Mr. Beckard, what do you mean?"Jace chuckled and replied, "Mr. Northman, I'm not trying to offend you or anything. But let me guess, Sebastian is the reason why your uncle kicked you out of the car, right?"Huh? Trevor glanced around and asked, "Mr. Beckard, where are you? How did you know?"Jace was obviously nearby, but there were many trees around him. Hence, Trevor cou
"It's rare for you to be so nice."Trevor looked at Jace from the corner of his eyes. He was surprised that Jace could conclude that he hated Sebastian for some reason just by seeing him getting kicked out of the car.It seemed like Jace was also a schemer.Jace noticed Trevor's doubtful gaze and smiled. "Mr. Northman, don't be surprised. Sebastian isn't a person who knows what's good for him. It was him who spoiled my plan during the industry event a few days ago."Although I have no idea what happened between the two of you, I know he must have something to do with you getting kicked out of the car, no?"With that, Jace lit a cigarette and took a long drag."Seems like you've done your research well." Trevor didn't answer his question.Jace smirked slightly and replied, "Mr. Northman, we are old friends, no? No need to be so formal with me."Also, I just want to share the same good outcome with you. Even if you don't want to take action against Sebastian, the Beckard family s
Trevor concluded that Sebastian's weakness was Whitney."Sebastian, you shouldn't have crossed me. I'll show you the consequences of doing so."He then called two people.On the same night, Sebastian was meditating when his phone rang. Seeing that it was from an unsaved number, he hesitated before answering."Are you Sebastian?" a cold voice came from the other end. "Yeah," Sebastian answered simply."Whitney is in my hands now. If you don't want her to die, bring me the formula of Arctic Snow Mask and meet me at Number 18, Westfore Street, in an hour. Come alone."If you call the cops, be ready to see Whitney's corpse."What?Sebastian's heart sank at the threat. He asked, "How do I know if she's really with you?"On the other end of the line, there was only a cold, sinister laugh in response to Sebastian. Shortly after, the piercing scream of a young woman echoed through. Even over the phone, Sebastian could clearly identify that the voice belonged to Whitney.In truth,
"Kneel!" Sebastian suddenly yelled.Brayden yelped with fear and fell to his knees."Sebastian, I… I'm a tristate inspector of the Martial Arts Court!"At that point, Brayden's final hope was his authority and position. He didn't want to die, and he especially didn't want to die for no reason.He just wanted to win favor with the ancestral being of the Berkeleys and get some tips on how to get a longer life."Call your wife! I'll give you two hours. If she doesn't come, you'll be tortured to death as well. I can tell you clearly that I'm a doctor, and I have ways to keep you alive until you get slashed 3,600 times with a knife!" Sebastian said icily."I…"Brayden trembled as he pulled out his phone. His mind had gone blank, and it took him a long time to find his wife's phone number. Her name was Darla Wyllis. "Hello? Honey? A handbag caught my eye today, but that stupid store actually refused to give it to me for free! It's a lousy handbag that only costs about 500 thousand d
Jayden had only gone a few steps, but he had no choice but to stop. He turned and grimaced at the Berkeleys and Brayden, who were all looking in his direction.He was filled with regret. He should have made his escape earlier instead of coming back with Brayden. Egbert and Yorrick were clearly fools. One of them had maimed himself and ended up vomiting blood relentlessly, while the other stood there like an idiot for Sebastian to slap him. He would be surprised if either of them could defeat Sebastian.As everyone was watching him, Jayden had no choice but to return to his previous spot. He looked nervously at Yorrick, praying inwardly that the old man would somehow get more skilled. He couldn't let Sebastian screw him over!"This is the last slap, old man. Do you still have any feeling in your face?" Sebastian asked, raising his palm."Damn you!" Yorrick swore violently. However, one of his front teeth had been knocked out earlier when he was slapped, and air escaped noisily t
The entire left side of Yorrick's face had become so numb that he couldn't feel a thing."Young man, just now you already hit me—""I only slapped you once!" Sebastian interrupted, holding up a finger.Yorrick spat and said, "How could one slap have made so many noises?"Sebastian replied innocently, "Everyone here can testify that I only hit you once, and I did it very slowly too. You all saw it, didn't you?"The onlookers nodded quickly, especially the experts from the law enforcement hall. They still couldn't figure out how an expert at Yorrick's level could have been sent flying through the air by a weak slap like that from Sebastian.What puzzled them the most was that Yorrick had clearly landed in a very safe spot. Why had he insisted on rolling into a pile of broken glass and gotten such a gaping wound on his face?"Fine!" Yorrick clenched his teeth and suppressed the pain in the right side of his face. "There are still two moves left!" he said viciously."Will you com
Sebastian nodded slightly. Yorrick had probably killed the young man because the latter was proficient in mystic spells and was already on the brink of the threshold. That could be the only reason for Yorrick's senseless deedThere were some people who couldn't bear seeing people who were stronger than them, which was why they made their move before their opponent could grow and develop."Are you really going to concede three moves to me, old man?" Sebastian stepped forward, grinning."Of course!" Yorrick answered, staring arrogantly at him.He still hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary with Sebastian, so he assumed that Sebastian was just an ordinary guy. He had probably only been able to defeat so many experts—including Egbert—because he had used some kind of trick. Egbert had lost because he had fallen into Sebastian's trap, not because of the latter's skills. That was why Egbert ended up suffering from the backlash of the ghost he had nurtured and lost his powers."I'll
"Young man, you're so cruel. Have you ever thought of the consequences of your actions?" Yorrick asked. He put his hands behind his back as he walked slowly toward Sebastian. Sebastian eyed Yorrick, whose training was at least on the same level as Egbert's. Besides, what he had studied was also a kind of spell. He and Sebastian specialized in the same study.The moment Yorrick got angry, Sebastian had sensed the faint power of Dainist principles from him."No blows are kind, and neither are harsh words! Why do you people feel that others should meekly allow you to beat them up? When your people are injured, you immediately think of it as the other party's mistake! That doesn't make any sense!" Sebastian answered coldly."Mr. Irving, kill that asshole!" Kayden said viciously. He was still clutching his crotch with one hand while he pointed at Sebastian with his other hand. Beside them, Jayden said defiantly, "Mr. Irving, you must not let this guy go! He's ruthless and extremely
Huh? Egbert frowned involuntarily. He had never felt that way before. What was going on? There was a loud blast, and the gigantic statue suddenly appeared out of thin air. At the same time, Egbert suddenly felt his blood churning inside him, and he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.He was about to turn and run when a black bolt of light hit him in the back. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew through the air like a broken kite. "Oh! Are you actually a sadist, old man?" Sebastian asked, smiling.Before Egbert could scramble up again, yet another bolt of dark light flew toward him."Damn it!"Egbert could no longer be conscious of his image and dignity. He swore at once. The dark light was aimed at his energy reserve. If he was hit, his decades of training would be completely ruined. However, he had plenty of life experience and had been through many such situations. When he saw the dark light flying toward him, he rolled across the floor like a bal
The dark shadow stretched out a large hand toward Nina. It appeared to be planning on tearing off her clothes. "Die?" Nina burst into laughter. How dare a ghost who was only around 300 years old talk to her about dying? As the smile stiffened on Nina's face, she bared her teeth, revealing fangs. Her scarlet eyes looked up impassively at the dark shadow above her head. "Aargh!" When the gigantic, dark shadow saw Nina's true form, it turned to try and escape, but it was too close to her that it was impossible for it to do so.It had only taken one step backward before Nina reached out and yanked it back."Have mercy, my lady!" The giant shadow disappeared and became a dark and scrawny-looking ghost that was less than five feet tall. "How dare you disrupt my dreams? You deserve to disintegrate into nothing!"Nina raised her hand and pressed down on top of the dark and scrawny ghost's head. "No!"The dark and scrawny ghost fell to its knees with a thump before Nina and sa
The Sacred Medicine Secret Annals also contained mystic spells from the Demon Sect. However, it was clearly written that those who practiced them would suffer divine punishment if they were to excel in it!Those were very heavy words indeed. How evil did those spells have to be if they would bring down divine punishment on those who excelled in practicing them?"Hmph! Stop trying to act as if you're smart in front of me. Have you ever seen such amazing spells? Believe it or not, I can kill your entire family with a click of my fingers?"There was a sinister tinge to Egbert's smile. With ordinary people, Egbert would only have to send out a thought to kill the entire family of his opponent instantly.However, Sebastian was being very dismissive of him. Evil spells like those required the supernatural spirit behind Egbert to sense the opponent's energy, after which they would use the same energy to find their family members.The process wasn't as mysterious as Egbert made it out
Those deceptive tricks appeared impressive, but those who Egbert healed would only end up in an even worse state, suffering even more."I haven't committed any crimes. How can I accept my punishment?" Sebastian asked disinterestedly.Brayden sneered. "You're not the one who decides whether you've committed a crime or not. Come! Subdue this defiant man!"Subdue Sebastian? Who would dare to do such a thing?The law enforcement hall members exchanged looks.Upon seeing this, Egbert stepped forward and said arrogantly, "Young man, you've seen what I can do. Compared to me, you martial arts practitioners aren't worthy of mention at all. I'll be lenient on you because you're young and ignorant. Just give up and come quietly!"Egbert was different from ordinary deacons in the Martial Arts Court. He had been hired specially as a mystic spells expert.When compared with mystic spells or cultivation, so-called martial arts weren't worthy of mention at all.That was because all mystic spe
