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
Sebastian coldly advanced, step by step, toward William. His imposing demeanor left William breathless.William was frightened. He fell to the ground with a loud thud. He was covered in a cold sweat, and his face was pale as he shouted, "Whitney Sutton! If something happens to me tonight, Frostwave Corporation can expect a burst of negative publicity!"Upon hearing this, Whitney quickly realized the situation and rushed to intervene.Sebastian's face darkened. His brow furrowed, and he turned to Whitney. "After the way he treated you, you still want to defend him?"Sebastian was displeased."I—" Whitney hesitated. She thought for a moment and said, "This is my business. I didn't ask for your help! But this man does need to face the consequences!""What are you saying? Whitney Sutton, do you really want Frostwave Corporation to go down?" William exclaimed in shock."Whitney, don't be impulsive. You can't offend someone like him!" Fergus quickly crawled to his feet upon seeing t
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
Brayden sneered. "Kill you and cover this up? You overestimate yourselves. This is an act of protecting officials!" The bare fact of the matter was that they were going to kill everyone who knew about the Berkeleys' depraved acts. Once they had done so, the Berkeleys' perfect image would be restored. "Do you think that it's reasonable and lawful for Kayden to act the way he does?" Sebastian asked in a cold, accusing voice. "There's no helping it. Those in power must have some privileges. That's an accepted fact in the world. It's your fault for not being part of this class of people. If you're going to blame anyone, blame yourselves for being born in the wrong family!" Brayden said smugly as he shot Egbert Galen a glance. Egbert strode over to Kayden and crouched down to inspect his injuries. He tapped him with a finger. "Aargh!" The pain made huge beads of sweat drip down Kayden's face."Alright. You can stand up and take a few steps, Mr. Kayden!" Egbert said, putting his
"Oh?" Brayden glanced twice at Sebastian before asking, "What crime has Mr. Kayden committed? Tell me!" Sebastian couldn't be bothered to argue with him and just played the phone recording. The two old men frowned involuntarily when they finished listening to it."You're Inspector Jefferson, aren't you? I'd like to ask you how anyone could want to sleep with a bride at a wedding banquet in front of thousands of guests. Is he an animal? Don't the Berkeleys do this sort of thing in private?"Does this mean that when someone in the Berkeley family gets married, any of the guests or even a mere passerby can have their way with the bride in front of all their friends and family?"Javier turned red, then pale as he listened. He pointed at Sebastian and cursed him loudly. "You bastard! Stop talking nonsense!""Inspector Jefferson, since you admire Mr. Kayden's genes so much, why don't you let him improve your family's gene pool as well? You should especially let Mr. Kayden help out wi
Two black-clad men came up to the car door and opened it for Brayden, who then got out of the car. As he alighted, two elderly men also got out of the black car behind him. They came up beside Brayden and said, "Inspector Jefferson!" Brayden clasped his hands behind his back and nodded as he said, "Mr. Galen, Mr. Irving. Come and get rid of this nuisance with me today. Remember, we must not show any mercy!" The two old men nodded slightly and said, "We'll do as you say, Inspector Jefferson!"Brayden nodded slightly and said to Jayden, "Lead the way!" Jayden hastily gestured for them to go ahead. He led them happily into the Aequor.He had fled the hotel just a while ago, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to have transformed into a different person. He walked into the hotel with his chest puffed up, and his entire demeanor had changed. The attendants on the first floor looked at him in surprise. "Did that handsome young guy go and get himself an invigorating shot of so
