Chapter 86

Author: Wendell Mayhew
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

    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 laughed at the reluctant expression on the stall owner's face. He weighed the emerald pendant in his hand and asked, "Mister, are you sure that this emerald pendant is worth 210 thousand?"With that, he tossed it onto the counter and turned to leave."Huh?"The stall owner immediately ran around to the front of the stall when he saw that Sebastian was about to leave. He grabbed him and said, "Don't be in such a rush to leave, my young friend. Let's negotiate. If you're sincere about buying it, I'll sell it to you at 150 thousand, and I'll be making a loss. Let this be the start of a friendship between us!"Sebastian smiled slightly and said, "Mister, even a layman can tell that this emerald pendant is a fake. I just like the patterns on it because it's quite trendy. That's why I asked about it on a whim."Describing the patterns on the antique as trendy only served to show how obvious it was that it was a fake.The stall owner turned beet red, then white. He cursed hi

    However, the more famous something was, the more imitations there would be. Antiques were no exception. In Boren, streets filled with antique stores were abundant. From Klane City to the smallest town, they were omnipresent.There were stores and stalls of various kinds that had everything, but all of them had one thing in common. All the antiques and trinkets that they sold were a mixed bag of authentic and fake. Buyers had to rely on their own judgment. There was also an unspoken rule there. Once a deal was made, no returns were allowed. If a buyer had paid for an item before realizing that something was wrong or recognizing that it was a fake, they would have no choice but to accept it. There was a saying about how the golden age of antiques was during times of chaos. Although they were now in times of peace, many members of the upper class were still very interested in them. Both experts and laymen liked to have a few collector's items in their homes. There were plenty of we

    "Watch him closely! If you lose him, I'll have your head!" Anton said before hanging up. A malicious grin spread across his face.As the son of the head director of Boren Martial Arts Court, many were eager to curry favor with him. If it came to dealing with Sebastian, there were plenty of people willing to do the dirty work for him. Acorn City was the second largest city in Boren after Klane City, and Anton knew just who to call. About two weeks ago, the Lynch family of Acorn City had sent gifts to him. However, as the Lynches were a third-rate elite martial arts family, Anton had dismissed them. That was why, despite searching frantically, he couldn't find Colton Lynch's name card."Damn it! Where did that asshole's name card get to?"It was the first time Anton had been so anxious about finding the name card of an heir from a third-rate family. After rummaging around for a while, Anton had a sudden flash of inspiration. It was in the trash can!He suddenly remembered that

    Sebastian laughed wryly and shook his head at Nina's words. "Nina, you're staying behind so everyone thinks I'm still here. Rowan and Arran will stay here with you so that no one will become suspicious!"Nina frowned. "But I'll be worried about you being with Unus. It's still just a beast whose rational capabilities aren't fully developed yet. What if it—"Sebastian smiled and shook his head. "Don't worry. Hugo has subdued them completely already, so nothing unexpected will happen. Honestly, there isn't much in Boren that worries me. However, if the Yome Sect enters Steinberg while its defenses are down, we'll be put in a difficult position."Though reluctant, Nina finally agreed.That night, Sebastian quietly brought Unus out with him. As soon as he walked out of the hotel doors, two thugs hiding at the side of the road who had been watching them stealthily immediately reported his movements to Anton."Are you sure it was Sebastian?" Anton demanded sharply."Positive! He looks e

    "Kneel!" Joaquin yelled at Anton the moment he entered the room.Anton immediately dropped to his knees with a loud thud in front of Sebastian."My lord, my son is worthless. Everything that happened before was his doing. He has been a disgrace to our family. Please have mercy on his crimes," Joaquin said. He looked up at Sebastian and was puzzled to see how terrible his complexion was.Nina had been injured the day before, so why was it now the other way around? She had a rosy complexion, while Sebastian looked as white as a sheet."Alright. The important thing is to learn from one's mistakes and change. Don't forget the oath that you made. If you break it, I won't have to punish you. The law of heaven will act accordingly!" Sebastian said coldly."Yes, of course! I would never dare to break the oath! But…" Joaquin looked at Sebastian with a troubled expression.Sebastian frowned slightly and asked, "But what?""I can see that you don't look very well, my lord. Should I prepa

    After resting for the whole night, Nina's complexion had almost returned to normal. Even the wounds on her body had almost healed.In stark contrast, Sebastian looked worse than ever.It was the aftereffect of losing too much blood essence. If it wasn't for the fact that he had the legacy of the Sacred Medicine Society, he might have already been half-dead. Even so, Sebastian felt weaker than he had ever felt before. His legs felt like jelly, and he was unsteady on his feet."My lord…"Rowan blanched with fear when he saw Sebastian. Sebastian was as pale as a sheet. Even his lips had lost all color."My lord, how did you get into this state?" Rowan asked, clearly confused. Sebastian had seemed fine when they returned to Mount Klane the night before. Waving his hand slightly, Sebastian replied, "I'm fine. I'll get better after some rest. Why are you up so early?"Rowan grew even more worried after hearing how frail Sebastian sounded."My lord, did you get severely injured o

    As the car started, the two burly men kept close behind it.Rowan looked back at them from time to time and saw that the two burly men were keeping a fixed distance from the car. He couldn't help gasping.Weren't they walking inhumanly fast?"My lord, they—"Rowan pointed at the two burly men behind them."Don't ask about things that you shouldn't ask about," Sebastian said, looking down at Nina, who was still in a coma.He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her complexion was becoming rosy once more.After arriving back in Mount Klane, Sebastian checked into a five-star hotel at Joaquin's insistence. Once he had settled Nina in, Sebastian called the two Devora to his room."Do you have names?" he asked.The two Devora shook their heads slightly. Like Hugo had said, they had been born of Dragon Energy, and they caught beasts in the mountains for food every day. Why would they have names?"Well, you've got to give me a way to differentiate between you, right? You even

    Arran and Rowan asked in confusion, "Aren't we going to look for the Ballard Estate anymore, my lord?"Sebastian turned to look at Arran. "We'll die before we reach the Ballard Estate!"Arran didn't know how powerful Nina was, but Rowan knew better than anyone that Nina was a top expert. If even she had gotten severely injured, Rowan and Arran would have no chance of entering Mount Quiln at all."Arran, trust in Mr. Ballard. Leaving Mount Quiln is the right thing to do!" Rowan said. He held Joaquin safely and asked Sebastian, "What do we do with him, my lord?"Sebastian turned to look at Joaquin. He said impassively, "Joaquin, I should execute you on the spot!"Joaquin immediately knelt and groveled. "Mr. Ballard, I'm willing to be your servant too. Please, if you don't kill me, you can tell me to do anything!""I don't have to kill you, but you mustn't let anything about what happened tonight leak out. Otherwise, I'll kill your entire family!" Sebastian said coldly.Joaquin s

    "Do you think it's worth losing all your training to save her? Aren't you afraid of dying?" Hugo couldn't help asking bluntly. Sebastian smiled slightly. "I'm scared! However, she only got into this state because she was trying to save me. How could I just abandon her? We may just be master and servant, but our fates are related!"Hugo couldn't help shaking his head. "Young man, I can only save you this time. As we move forward, I may have trouble even protecting myself. Therefore, take these two items and go home!" Hugo reached out with one hand and dropped the Devora in front of Sebastian. He had been tortured half to death.The Devora was panting heavily. Although he understood that Hugo couldn't kill him, the endless torture was worse than death."Bite the tip of your tongue and wipe the blood on his brow!" Hugo instructed blandly.Sebastian held Nina up with one hand and did as Hugo had said. "Now say, the servant dies with the master, and heaven and earth bear witness!"
