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
Even a secular person like Zane couldn't have done what Branson and Kody had done. Sebastian's gaze swept over Branson and Kody. He said coldly, "If I didn't still have a use for you, I would kill you both today! Get lost!"As soon as he said that, the two swordsmen looked as if they had received great mercy. They thanked him profusely and turned to flee. The remaining Fate Sect apprentices were at a loss after losing their leader. They all knelt in front of Sebastian."Mr. Ballard, we are willing to guard this valley for you and follow your commands. Please have mercy and spare our lives," they all shouted loudly. Sebastian waved his hand and said, "You may all stand. This valley isn't anyone's, and I don't need you to guard it for me. However, before the sun sets tomorrow, you must transport all these medicinal herbs to Steinberg!"Sebastian wrote an address and handed it to one of the Fate Sect apprentices in the lead. "Once you've delivered the medicinal herbs, you'll be f
Godfrey didn't dare to hesitate. He raised his sword quickly to defend himself. However, this time, Scarlet Cloud was unable to withstand the terrifying bolt of lightning, and it split in half.Godfrey spat out blood as he was assailed by the backlash from his weapon!He was filled with regret. If he hadn't insisted on battling Sebastian for the sake of his pride, he wouldn't have suffered such a defeat. Sebastian had given him a chance to turn over a new leaf. If he had accepted his defeat with good grace, Sebastian wouldn't necessarily have tried to kill him. However, he had made the choice to join forces with Branson and Kody to kill Sebastian. He no longer had any room for negotiation. When Godfrey looked up once more and stared into Sebastian's ice-cold eyes, he felt his heart jolt. It was the first time he had felt so close to death, as if he already had one foot in the grave. As everyone watched, Godfrey fell to his knees in front of Sebastian and begged, his voice t
Sebastian curled his lips, and he flashed them a cool smile.According to the division of levels in the martial arts community, Martial Sages was the highest level one could attain, at least thus far.Although Branson and Kody were only at the third level of the Martial Sage realm, they were already terrifying entities among the mystic martial arts sects.However, that was just in comparison to others. If they were categorized according to the individual skills of practitioners, they were only two levels higher than Sebastian.They had the skills of someone at the second level of the foundation phase.However, the biggest difference between practitioners of the Way of Wisdom and Warriors was that Warriors could only use their body and their training in vital energy to attain a level of skill that surpassed that of ordinary people.Practitioners of the Way of Wisdom were different. Not only did they have formidable powers in battle, they also had the help of divine skills.Any pr
Godfrey looked extremely grim. He had never imagined that his trump card would crumble so quickly in front of Sebastian.He had also never expected Sebastian's martial arts skills to be as good as those of Branson and Kody. That was what shocked him the most.Sebastian was extraordinary compared to those in the mystic martial arts sects.Godfrey was now suffering from the backlash and was severely injured. He would be sure to die if he tried to continue the fight with Sebastian. However, if he just admitted defeat, how could he continue to hold his head up high in the future?In a flash, Godfrey turned to look at Branson and Kody in the distance.There was a look of determination in his eyes as he said to them, "Mr. Hartson, Mr. Jagger, I've come up against a huge obstacle today. If you're willing to help, I'll be willing to give you 30 Breakthrough pills."Branson and Kody had been enjoying the show, but at Godfrey's request, they exchanged looks.Although they were expert Ma
"Even if we wait until tomorrow, we're going to wait until Mr. Ballard comes out." Perseus cut Cassian off. Though he appeared weak sitting in the wheelchair, his words were clear. "Mr. Windsor Senior, we can't just stand by and watch as something happens to Sebastian!" Rosalie was filled with anxiety. If it wasn't for the fact that she was unfamiliar with the path, she would have rushed back to the valley to look for Sebastian already.Even if she died, she couldn't abandon him!"None of us are Warriors. If we enter the valley again, we'll only become a burden to him. It would be best to wait for Mr. Ballard to come out. If anything happens to him, we can think of a way to avenge him," Perseus said shakily, trying his best to focus."Grandpa!" Rosalie turned to look at Oliver. After a pause, Oliver nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Windsor Senior is right. We'll only cause trouble for Sebastian if we go back. We might as well just wait here."Oliver looked coldly at Cassian.Sin
"You're as rich as they come. You sold that Life Draining pill for billions, and you're not poor at all. However, as the saying goes, those who are unrighteous will always end up self-destructing," Sebastian retorted coldly, flashing him an icy smile.A ferocious smile suddenly flashed across Godfrey's sinister face as he said, "Sebastian, you joined forces with the Windsors to plot against me. Do you think that you'll succeed in ruining my reputation and that you can do as you please with me?"Godfrey's eyes were filled with a murderous rage, and he flung his arm aside. With a scarlet bolt of light, a bright red sword that was three feet long appeared in his hand.Even from a distance, everyone could feel the flaming energy on the crimson sword. From time to time, bright red flames sparked on its blade!Sebastian immediately recognized the sword that Godfrey was holding. It was the long-lost Scarlet Cloud. It was a very rare weapon, and also a unique vessel.Unlike the Sky Devo
If Cassian really was banished from the Windsor family, a wealthy heir like him would probably find it hard to even survive.At that moment, Oliver walked over to Sebastian and lowered his voice as he pointed at the old man in the wheelchair. "Sebastian, do you think there's any hope for Mr. Windsor Senior?"Sebastian opened his palm calmly and revealed the golden pill. "This Millivenom pill can neutralize all the poisons that Mr. Windsor Senior is suffering from. However, whether or not he is allowed to take it will depend on the Windsors' sincerity."Sincerity? Oliver frowned.Anyone who didn't understand Sebastian's character would assume that he was going to put a price on that pill.However, from what Oliver knew of Sebastian, money wasn't what he wanted. After all, why would someone with the kind of medical skills that Sebastian had lack money?"Sebastian, as long as you can save Mr. Windsor Senior, you can name any condition you want. However, sincerity seems a little too
Everyone immediately focused on Godfrey.How many treasures were hidden in those dozen or so buildings? If all of those expensive medicinal herbs were given to Sebastian, it wouldn't take long before all the refinists in Dramon were overshadowed by him.Everyone there, including Branson and Kody, were waiting quietly to see what Godfrey would do next before they decided whether or not they would try and curry favor with Sebastian. After all, it was important for a refinist to have skills, but if they didn't have adequate materials, all their skills would be useless. The rare and expensive medicinal herbs needed for refining pills were difficult to find. Even if one was rich, they were still impossible to buy.Godfrey looked very grim. He clenched his fists tightly, and beads of sweat rolled off his forehead. How could he be willing to hand over the treasures that he had spent so much effort to collect for half his life?However, his reputation and that of the Fate Sect would
Everyone drew in a sharp intake at the thought of it.Although most of the people present that day were Warriors who didn't have much of an understanding of money, both the martial arts and the mystic sects needed money for training resources.In other words, money was the most important resource for all those in the mystic martial arts sects!With Sebastian's perceptive powers as well as his great ability to earn money, it was clear that he would eventually become a very powerful figure among the mystic martial arts sects!Godfrey, on the other hand, was staring at the golden pill in Sebastian's hand. He looked extremely grim.As a refinist, he could tell immediately that Sebastian had refined a mystic pill.He had never imagined that Sebastian would be so skilled in pill refining!Conversely, the pill that he had refined himself might not even succeed in turning into a pill. The grade of the pill was entirely out of the question. Even if he succeeded, he would only have refin
