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
Rosalie also expressed mild surprise, not expecting Sebastian to act so decisively."Dr. Ballard, are you really not going to help? It seems like Ms. Sutton is in big trouble," Rosalie asked again.Sebastian slowed his pace slightly. He glanced over to see that Whitney was now in a heated argument with the other person.The bodyguards had blocked her way, and an extremely disheveled William had rushed forward. He grabbed Whitney's delicate wrist, angrily shouting, "Damn it! You, bitch! Do you think you can escape? If you don't serve me well tonight, don't even think about leaving this cruise ship!""Let go of me! I'm warning you, if you do anything to me, I can call the police!" Whitney angrily threatened, struggling with all her might. However, being no match for a larger man, she couldn't break free."Call the police? Go ahead and try! Do you even know where you are? It's a cruise ship! Even if I forced myself on you right now, there won't be any consequences!" William shame
"I'm her ex-husband," Sebastian said coldly, a sharp chill flashing in his gaze.William's heart pounded as he sized up Sebastian in front of him. He wiped his mouth and sneered menacingly, "You're this bitch's ex-husband? Fine, fine, fine!"If you dare to mess with me, I'll make sure you won't walk away in one piece!"Sebastian furrowed his brow as he said in a lowered voice, "Is that so? Well, you can give it a try."A chill enveloped him, and his eyes turned menacing. William angrily shouted, "Damn it! Do you know who I am? How dare you talk to me like this?""Who you are means nothing to me. I'll give you one chance, kneel, and apologize to her! Otherwise, face the consequences!"The declaration stirred up a commotion throughout the crowd.Whitney, Fergus, and Rosalie's expressions were all filled with surprise. None of them had expected Sebastian to step forward at this moment.Whitney's eyebrow furrowed, and her head was in turmoil.Rosalie, on the other hand, felt a t
Ronaldo was not an ordinary person. Sure, he was one of Yutaria's eight great swordsmen—but he also had another identity. He was a top-tier member of the Ilian Priory's eastern branch!Killing Ronaldo was tantamount to issuing a public challenge to the Ilian Priory!The fact that Sebastian could be so bold and daring at his age made it clear that he must have a very formidable ally.Although business moguls possessed limitless wealth, they could not exchange their wealth for life.To those who were truly strong, wealth was just a number. If they wanted to, they could be richer than an entire country. Heston did not know if there were supernatural forces in the world, but he knew that the true experts of martial arts were entities that business moguls could not afford to offend. Even the prominent families of Draepolis could only maintain the prosperity of their families by developing connections with the martial arts community.The rich who did not have any connections with th
"Are you satisfied now, Cruz?" Sebastian asked impassively as he clasped his hands behind his back.Sebastian stood erect while Ronaldo was sprawled on the floor, spitting out blood. There was nothing more to be said.Ronaldo panted heavily as he said, "I won't accept defeat even if I die!""Remember not to come to Dramon in your next life, you Yutarian beast!" Sebastian unleashed another punch on him.It was a concise blow that contained great force. There was a dull explosion, and Ronaldo immediately morphed into a bloody cloud of mist before dispersing in the air.There was a clang. The Yutarian longsword fell to the ground after losing its owner. Caspian had gone as pale as a sheet with fear. He was sweating profusely and shaking like a leaf.Sebastian had shocked him immensely. It was no wonder the Dunhills were doing everything they could to help Sebastian. He was an amazing entity who was on an entirely different level from Caspian!The Wellers would be sure to pros
The most ironic thing was that Wilfred had been scorning Sebastian for being arrogant, but now he did not dare to look down on him at all.Lexi was dazed by Sebastian's move. Was Sebastian really that powerful?Why had Wilfred been unable to tell how skilled he really was?Ronaldo clenched his teeth. No matter how skilled he was at the mystic arts, it would be no use if he could not determine the position of his opponent.In the end, he had no choice but to make up his mind. He pulled out his Yutarian longsword and charged at the shadows.He swung his sword several times, but they all came up empty. He found himself surrounded by over ten shadows instead. Ronaldo held his Yutarian longsword with both hands and closed his eyes tightly. He was trying to sense Sebastian's position based on instinct alone.Although he could feel Sebastian getting closer to him, his position kept changing. "Idiot!" Ronaldo clenched his teeth. Sebastian was the most challenging opponent he had ever
As one of the eight main sects of Yutaria, the Northern Divine Swords could not tolerate the insults and slander of a young man who was barely out of puberty."I don't know who he is, and I'm not interested. If you want to fight, then hurry it up. I haven't even finished eating." Sebastian yawned impatiently.How cocky! He was being extremely arrogant!Wilfred's eyes were bulging with rage. He gritted his teeth as he stared at Sebastian. He was hoping that Sebastian would be chopped up into pieces by Ronaldo!Lexi's lips had turned purple with anger. Where did Sebastian get the confidence to brag like that?How could he be so cocky with Ronaldo? It was no wonder so many people wanted to kill him!"Young man, why don't you just admit your wrongdoings? That old Yutarian man seems pretty formidable!""Yeah, you should live to fight another day! We'll have plenty of opportunities to deal with him in the future. Just waiting for him to die will be an easy victory for you!""Young ma
Caspian was actually very afraid. Although he did not know who Ronaldo was, even Wilfred was kneeling. One could imagine just how frightening Ronaldo must be.How could Sebastian still be chatting and laughing with Caspian as if nothing was happening?Lexi clenched her fists tightly. Even the Bachs had to kneel in front of Ronaldo. How could Sebastian speak to him in that tone?She wanted nothing more than for Ronaldo to kill Sebastian at once!"You're very cocky, young man!" Ronaldo narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Sebastian.However, he sensed that Sebastian was extremely dangerous—and the woman beside him felt just as threatening.Ronaldo even suspected that he would not be able to last more than one move from that woman!However, the young man's training was a mystery. No matter how much Ronaldo scrutinized him, Sebastian just seemed like an ordinary person who did not know any martial arts.His experience told him that people like that were usually the most dangerous
Wilfred fell to his knees in fear.He was not embarrassed to cower before this man. After all, he was Ronaldo!He was a legend from the Culter Sect of Yutaria. Less than 100 people in Dramon were his equals.He could kill Wilfred in less than ten moves. How could Wilfred not be afraid?Ronaldo walked out and pointed at the wide hall. "Get out here this instant!" "I'm coming! I'm coming!" Wilfred smiled widely and crawled out to the great hall. When Caspian saw how Wilfred was debasing himself, he scoffed and asked Lexi, "Is that how hot-blooded the Bachs are? That was truly eye-opening.""You don't know anything, Caspian! Mr. Baye is just adapting to the situation!" Lexi shrieked."Do all the Bachs crawl on the ground to adapt?" Sebastian laughed scornfully."You bastard! I'm going to tell Mr. Baye what the two of you said later. Just wait! You're both going to die!" Lexi rushed out of the room angrily.Outside, the onlookers hadn't dispersed. They were all watching the sho
"Hmph! You bastards are accomplices of those human traffickers! You deserve to die!" Wilfred strode over to one of the Yutarian youths and crushed three of his ribs with one foot. When Wilfred saw that the Yutarian youth had fainted from the pain, he went over smugly to the remaining youth and said, "If you don't want to end up like him, then kneel to me and apologize to the people of Dramon!"Wilfred looked righteous and felt a sense of accomplishment. Compared to Sebastian and Nina, he felt that he truly embodied what a Dramonian Warrior should be!"Idiot!" The Yutarian youths exploded in anger at once and swung their fists at Wilfred.They were no match for Wilfred at all, and both of them ended up on the floor in a puddle of their own blood.Several of the onlookers looked at Wilfred with gazes of admiration.Everyone hated human traffickers. Everyone had children, and no one wanted to have their child snatched away on the streets.These Yutarians were allegedly found to
The surrounding onlookers all gave Wilfred a thumbs-up."Good slap! They need to be taught a lesson!""Beat these dogs up, old man!""Yeah! This is the territory of Dramon!"The onlookers were all cheering Wilfred on, and he grinned smugly.He glanced disdainfully at Sebastian and the others, who were still sitting inside. Those cowardly young people weren't even brave enough to teach a few Yutarian youths a lesson! What an embarrassment to Dramon!"Ms. Bach, I don't think that Mr. Weller is suitable to be your husband. What a coward! I think that a weakling like him is only suited to hanging out with a milksop like Sebastian!" Wilfred's lip curled, and he sneered.Lexi had been annoyed with Caspian already. Sebastian was clearly ignoring her existence, and Caspian had simply let him do so!Now, a Dramonian was being bullied right here in their own country by Yutarians, but Sebastian hadn't made a single peep. If Caspian became her husband, how could she hold her head up high
Wilfred was just lucky that Nina hadn't had much of an appetite for the past few days. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have any bones left after what he had just said.Nina was spooning ice cream into her mouth. It was the first time she had eaten something so delicious.Although Nina had had a corporeal body before, she hadn't been able to eat at all. Even if she did eat, she couldn't taste anything.After using Sebastian's training technique, Nina could now eat and drink like a normal person. She just hadn't had the chance to taste all the delicious food in the world yet. "My lor—Sebastian, I never knew that ice cream tasted so good!" Nina said as she dug out a spoonful and fed to Sebastian.Sebastian could not let Nina refer to him as her lord when they were out, as it would make people misunderstand, so he had asked her to refer to him by his name. Sebastian tasted it and nodded. "Yes, this ice cream is pretty good."Nina giggled and said, "My saliva tastes good too."Sebasti
