Chapter 909

Penulis: Wendell Mayhew
Thank you, Mr. Ballard, but the consultation fee must still be paid. I know this small amount is insignificant to you, but… It's all I have right now," Zane said with a sheepish smile.

He carefully placed the check on Rosalie's desk.

Sebastian didn't mind and took his Healer's Needle, giving Rosalie a few instructions before following Zane to the Northman family residence.

"I've long heard of your great reputation, Mr. Ballard. You truly live up to your name! You have an extraordinary presence," Zane praised continuously, elevating Sebastian throughout the journey, though Sebastian simply smiled without responding.

As their car approached a secluded estate, Sebastian suddenly felt all the hairs on his body stand on end.

"Stop the car!" Sebastian ordered abruptly.

Zane quickly instructed the driver to stop, then frowned and said, "Mr. Ballard, there's still a long way to go."

Sebastian shook his head slightly. He got out of the car and began scrutinizing the estate from a distan

    "There wasn't any problem originally but with the addition of the two trees and these stone lions, this place has turned into a place like a cemetery!" Sebastian pointed out."Look carefully at this estate and the hill behind it. When connected, what does it resemble?" Sebastian gestured."A-A corpse?" Zane, prompted by Sebastian, took a closer look from a distance. When the landscape was connected, the estate resembled the head of a corpse, with the two trees and stone lions appearing like protruding fangs!The estate had effectively become a place filled with negative energy.That "corpse" was exactly where the villa stood within the estate."Plus, the two mulberry trees at the entrance. I suspect they were healthy when planted, right?" Sebastian observed.From a distance, the two mulberry trees appeared to be withering.It was evident that they were transplanted in the wrong season, which failed to take root, and the harsh winter had killed them."A few days ago, a geomanc

    Trevor huffed coldly and said, "What's the matter, Sebastian? You were a traditional medicine doctor a few days ago. Are you a geomancer now?"Did you fail to deceive everyone with your anti-cancer prescription? Is that why you're trying to deceive Zane by saying that you can check the geomantic properties of our house?" Before Sebastian could say anything, Zane hastily explained, "Trevor, sometimes it's just safer to assume that it's true. I think of it as spending some money to buy my peace of mind." Trevor scoffed. He turned and walked toward the car. As he went, he said to Zane, "I'll go and see Uncle Theodore with Mr. Reynolds first. Aunt Marianne and Aunt Meredith will be coming later too."Trevor got into the car and sped off."Have you ever met the man he was with just now?" Sebastian asked Zane as he watched the Benz drive off. "Met him? He was the one who made us plant the two old mulberry trees at our front door!" Zane looked darkly in the direction that the Benz ha

    "Oh dear. I wonder when Theodore will get better.""That's right. Seraphina, the family needs to have a leader. We have such a huge family, and we're running a big company as well. There are so many things that need to be taken care of, and someone needs to take the lead.""Why don't you and Zane recommend Trevor as the temporary chairman?""Trevor and Theodore have been taking care of Northstar Pharma for so many years. This way, we'll avoid having no one at the helm of the company while Theodore is sick. Once Theodore gets better, he can resume the position of chairman."As soon as Zane walked in, he overheard his aunts and uncle trying to persuade his mother, Seraphina. Zane clenched his teeth and strode into the living room.He said icily to his aunts, "I've already asked Mr. Ballard to come. He can even bring a late-stage cancer patient back to life. It'll be easy for him to cure Dad."Theodore had once mentioned to the Northmans that the prince of Ytalia had sent someone to

    Sebastian ignored Marianne and Meredith and looked at his watch.Ten minutes had already passed. Hadn't the Northmans' bodyguards buried the Crystal Dragons yet?At that moment, one of the bodyguards came to the living room and whispered a few words in Zane's ear before handing him something black."Mr. Ballard, look at this. They dug this out from under the foundation on the west side," Zane said quietly. He handed the black object to Sebastian.Sebastian took the object, which looked like a piece of coal. He clasped his hands behind his back and looked at Elton before saying to the room at large, "Who says that those who practice medicine can't know about geomancy?"He continued, "Traditional medicine originated from the philosophers of the Way of Wisdom. If I don't know about the mystic arts, then how can I treat patients, especially when it comes to patients with strange illnesses like Theodore?""Ballard, you're just a charlatan! Get out of here right now! You're not welcome

    Sebastian was using the technique known as the Seven Star Seal, which was a mystic formation. As long as he could seal off the gate, it would frighten off any evil spirits. The three remaining Ovalia Tokens that he had would be his trump card against them."What should we do, Mr. Reynolds?" Trevor looked worriedly at Elton as he watched Sebastian walk quickly up the stairs."Hmph! He's still wet behind the ears. How good can he be? Don't worry," Elton said, staring intensely in the direction of the staircase."Trevor, what are you talking about?" Seraphina had been in a daze for many days now. Although Trevor and Elton were speaking so plainly, she couldn't understand what they were saying at all."Oh, we were just talking about Uncle Theodore's condition, Aunt Seraphina. Mr. Reynolds means that Ballard probably won't be able to do anything. "When he comes out later, we've got to get rid of him quickly so that Mr. Reynolds doesn't get angry," Trevor said condescendingly to Se

    There was a large bed placed in the middle of the room, which was several feet wide. Theodore's eyes were sunk into their sockets as he lay on the bed. Although it had only been a few days since Sebastian had last seen him, he seemed like a completely different person.Not only were his eyes sunken in, but even the skin on his face had turned completely black.He was now as frail as an old man. Although his hair was still black, he gave the impression of being very old. Sebastian came to the bed and looked down at Theodore. He clapped the last Ovalia Token he held over the top of his head. "You're such a busybody!" an elderly voice echoed in the air.As the token covered the top of Theodore's head, another rush of dark energy shot up. Theodore looked as if he was in a deep sleep, and his body convulsed violently."Aargh!" A desperate scream pierced the air, sounding as if it came from the depths of hell. Sweat beaded on Sebastian's forehead. It was the first time he was u

    Sebastian pointed at Theodore, who was lying on the bed."It was them! They invaded my home and brought me here by force!" the dark shadow yelled angrily at Sebastian."What? They dug up your grave?" Sebastian inhaled sharply."That's right! Why else would I have come here?" the dark shadow roared furiously. Sebastian's lips curved slightly, and he chuckled, "Do you think that I'm a child who will believe your lies? The geomancy of this place was changed recently, but you say you just happened to come here? Besides, you don't act like you were brought here by force.""I'll kill you!" The dark shadow lunged at Sebastian, but when Sebastian swung the sword at him, he suddenly prostrated himself on the floor. "Please have mercy, my lord! I-I-I was forced to do this!" Sebastian frowned when he saw the dark shadow kneeling before him. He said, "Weren't you about to fight to the death with me? Are you trying to stall for time?""N-No! Please listen, my lord. I was captured by someon

    Zane nodded without thinking and pressed a drop of blood in the center of Theodore's forehead."Mr. Ballard, is my father cured now?" he asked, frowning.Sebastian nodded and said, "He should be alright now. All we have to do is to wait for him to wake up."Zane nodded, looking reassured. He turned and looked at the bedroom door.Sebastian knew that Zane wanted to tell everyone that Theodore had recovered so that those who were eyeing the position of chairman would give up completely."You mustn't rush this. Mr. Reynolds comes from a formidable background. Before your father wakes up completely, don't give the game away," Sebastian said, patting Zane's shoulder."Mr. Ballard, did someone use the mystic art of geomancy against my father?" Zane finally asked something he had been wondering about. "That's right. He was a victim of Mr. Reynolds' spell, but he should be alright now." Sebastian reached into his pocket and held the rusty token. He had received an unexpected gain on th

    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.
