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
After Theodore woke up, Sebastian told him about why he had suddenly fallen ill. Zane also brought him up to speed on everything that Trevor had done over the past few days.Theodore's heart sank as he listened. He had been grateful to Tobias for many years for giving up his life to save him, which was why he had valued Trevor so much. He had even handed over the company's finances to him.However, how had Trevor repaid him?He had colluded with outsiders to try and take the assets of Northstar Pharma!It was true that one could never be content. Theodore had taken such good care of his nephew, but Trevor had become greedy and even tried to kill him so that he could take his fortune!"U-Uncle Theodore… you've recovered! That's great! The family has a leader again." Trevor stood up, looking dazed. He could see from Theodore's eyes that his uncle already knew about everything."Theodore, we were so worried about you! You have no idea—""Shut up!" Theodore's ice-cold gaze swept
Outwardly, Elton looked as if he was ready to fight to the death with Sebastian and kill him. However, he was secretly wary of Sebastian.After Sebastian had taken the spirit that Elton had been controlling, Elton had suffered internal injuries caused by the backlash. He was now very weak. Even if Zane rushed over and slapped him, he would be powerless to do anything about it. He couldn't fight Sebastian at all.However, Trevor had no idea about any of this. When he saw that Elton looked ready to fight to the death with Sebastian, he immediately became bold. "Oh, Uncle Theodore, you should have died decades ago! If my father hadn't died to save you, you wouldn't have any of this!"However, you failed to repay the debt you owe my father, and you tried to kick me out of the family because of an outsider! Your entire family will die today!" Trevor yelled maliciously at Theodore.With Elton as his ally, Trevor was much bolder. Everything he had kept hidden was now spilling out of h
Zane clenched his fists tightly. All the relatives of the Northmans were parasites and leeches! They felt as if it was their right to spend the money of Northstar Pharma."You bastard! You have no right to talk at all!" Meredith yelled at Zane. Bastard?Zane was furious. He took a step forward but then glanced at Elton. In the end, he stepped back.Seraphina had been married before she married Theodore.That was why the Northmans were always gossiping about Zane, saying that Seraphina had been pregnant with him before she married Theodore and that he wasn't really part of the Northman family.It was a secret of the Northmans that had never been revealed to outsiders.Now that Meredith had actually exposed him in front of Sebastian and Elton, Theodore felt thoroughly humiliated.However, Zane was his son. He had had a paternity test done to prove it.It was just that Theodore couldn't deny that he had taken someone else's wife. Knowledge of how he had had an affair with a marr
Sebastian's heart sank. Yellow paper charm spells were weird and mysterious. However, in the circumstances, it would be hard to settle things today if he didn't defeat Elton.Sebastian didn't usually concern himself with family matters, but the Northmans had crossed the line!When Elton saw that Sebastian was not afraid, his heart grew cold. He was weak and helpless, and if they were to fight against each other, Sebastian could kill him with just one move."Sebastian, are you brave enough to allow me to walk the Hellgate Path? If I fail, you can do as you wish. If you are defeated, you must obey me. What do you think?" Elton looked sinisterly at Sebastian.The Hellgate Path? Sebastian almost burst out laughing. No matter how mysterious paper charm spells were, Sebastian knew that there was no such technique as the Hellgate Path.He glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and saw that there were less than 15 steps between Elton and the front door.Elton only had to take ten
Training in paper charm spells was unusually difficult. It would take at least 20 to 30 years of hard work just to become a beginner.Sebastian didn't want to back Elton into a corner. After all, Elton hadn't hurt him, and there was no reason to make an enemy of Elton just for the sake of the Northmans."Mr. Ballard, I'm sorry, that was inconsiderate of me. Let me take you home. I hope you accept this token of my appreciation too." Zane took out a check from his pocket and gave it to Sebastian."Mr. Ballard, it's unfortunate that you had to witness the ridiculous affairs of our family. However, I hope that you will attend the auction with my son at the Skyline Hotel three days from now. What do you think, Mr. Ballard?" Theodore said very politely."An auction?" Sebastian asked, frowning."This is an auction restricted only to the elite upper class of Sunway. There will be many rare treasures there, and if any of them catch your eye, just tell Zane and let him bid for it for you. W
The next day, Zane went to Rosalie's office. With him was the contract with Arctic Snow Group, stating that they would collaborate to develop a new anti-cancer drug. Rosalie glanced at the contract. She frowned slightly as she said, "Mr. Northman, are you sure you have the right contract?"The contract clearly stated that Northstar Pharma would pay for all the expenses of research, development, and advertising. 70% of the profits would go to Arctic Snow Group, while Northstar Pharma would only receive 30%. It was such a good deal for Arctic Snow Group. It was basically giving them money.Zane smiled and said, "Ms. Griffin, the Northmans would have gotten into a disaster if Mr. Ballard hadn't been around. That's why my father decided to let him have 70% of the project's profits to thank him for saving his life."After all, Arctic Snow Group is the company with the most potential for development in Steinberg. In the future, our collaborations may not be confined to anti-cancer dru
Wyatt nodded and said, "Alright. After all, we're old men who have no idea about any of this. However, if you need any financial support, all you have to do is ask." As he spoke, Wyatt took a credit card from the guard next to him. He handed it to Sebastian and said, "There's no limit on this card. Just take it and use it as you wish.""The lives of my comrades will affect the safety of Dramon. I'll have to hand this matter over to you and ask for your help." Wyatt gave Sebastian a crisp, military salute."Mr. Holman Senior, please take this card back. I can afford a small sum like this," Sebastian said, giving the card back to Wyatt. Although Sebastian tried to refuse, Wyatt insisted. Sebastian had no choice but to take the card.After that, Wyatt ordered Liam to take Sebastian back to the convenience store.…Three days later, Zane arrived very early at Sebastian's shop. The moment he walked in, his face broke into a wide smile as he went up to Sebastian. "Mr. Ballard, I c
Blake commanded a few Warrior League apprentices to load the Medcroft Cauldron into the car before gesturing politely to Sebastian. "After you, Mr. Ballard."Sebastian said goodbye to Belinda before getting in. Afterward, he handed Blake a bottle of Gold Remedy. "How are your injuries?"Blake shook his head. "I'm fine. However, you need to be careful after getting back, Mr. Ballard. I'm afraid that the Yutarian Warriors aren't going to let things go so easily."Sebastian hadn't been well-known before, but after what happened in the arena, his name had spread fast. "Don't worry. Let them come if they want to," Sebastian said, smiling slightly.…When Sebastian carried the Medcroft Cauldron into the convenience store, Nina and Lyanna both turned to look at him."There's something strange about this cauldron," Lyanna said, frowning. She could sense a frightening tendril of energy from it. It was an ancient, powerful object that was very mysterious, and it clashed with her ghostl
The Yutarians would be very likely to try and penetrate the three divine mountains to find the Reincarnation Pill if they were unable to find anything in other places.The Warriors that had been sent to Steinberg were probably only a distraction.Steinberg was just a small city, after all, and Sartvale was just a small state in Dramon that didn't have many legends in its history.The three divine mountains were different. Every single mountainous region contained countless legends and stories.The Medcroft had been named as the place where the Way of Wisdom had originated.Norlyn was named the home of deities.Meanwhile, Caela was called the gate to paradise. Even in the present day, there had been no one who had managed to explore the three divine mountains thoroughly. No one could reveal the secrets of those three divine mountains either."Madam Dragon, do you mean that we should delay them or destroy them here in Steinberg while we also send someone to keep an eye on the th
The losses they had suffered that night were too severe. More importantly, they had offended Jorvahn.Giovanni felt that there had been nothing wrong with his plan. The only mistake they had made was in allowing Saul to escape, which resulted in the entire thing getting exposed."Mr. Conti!" Luigi's voice came from the doorway as Giovanni was wiping down the blade."Please come in, Mr. Coppola," Giovanni said as he continued to wipe down the Yutarian saber.The door was pushed open, and Luigi walked into the room. When he saw that Giovanni was actually wiping down his Yutarian saber, his eyes widened."Mr. Conti, are you…"Giovanni smiled bitterly and said, "It's what our superiors want. I'm sure that someone will come and take over for me tomorrow morning."He sighed deeply.Luigi hastily pressed Giovanni's hand and said, "Mr. Conti, this has nothing to do with you. This is all due to my negligence."Giovanni shook his head slightly and said, "That is no longer important. How
Belinda nodded slightly and said, "Hold grand funerals for those who are dead and take care of their families.""Yes, Madam," Blake replied. He looked stern as he waved at the Warrior League apprentices. They all quickly picked up the corpses of the Warrior League apprentices on the ground and carried them into the cars.Someone took out gasoline and poured it over the assassins.Sebastian lit a cigarette and took a few drags. He then flung it at the pile of corpses.As flames roared into the air, Blake said coldly, "Get into the cars and let's go!"The procession of cars began driving toward Ventus Estate. …After Luigi had managed to escape, he stopped a few miles away. The assassins who had followed him slowly gathered together.After counting the people present, Luigi couldn't help sighing heavily. Out of over 300 assassins, almost half of them were dead. How was he going to explain this to Giovanni?"Warrior League!" Luigi clenched his fists viciously."Mr. Coppola, m
Blake was shocked to see that the apprentice had been killed right in front of his eyes. He waved quickly to his right and left.There was the sound of doors opening and closing as over 200 Warrior League apprentices jumped out of the cars.The rustling sound in the woods could be heard from either side of them."The assassins have caught up!" Saul said nervously.Although he was very confident in Sebastian's skills, he was still only one person. The Warrior League had more people, but the assassins were in the shadows. It was a disadvantageous situation for the Warrior League.There was a sharp whistling noise as countless throwing spikes shot out of the woods. Several Warrior League apprentices fell to the ground."Turn off the car headlights!" Sebastian shouted at the Warrior League members.All the car headlights were turned off at once, and it became pitch-black. Sebastian opened the car door softly and leaped into the woods. There was the crunch of bones breaking, and
"They're afraid that the Juwanian King Jorvahn will lead a force to Dramon and affect their plans. That's why they wanted to kill everyone. Their goal is to find the Reincarnation Pill in Dramon," Belinda said as she analyzed the situation.Sebastian frowned, deep in thought. Soon, he nodded in agreement.That was the only explanation that made sense.Otherwise, there was really no reason for the Yutarian Warriors to slaughter all the Yvantonian Warriors when there was no grudge between them."They killed all of my people. As long as you keep me safe, I'll tell King Jorvahn about everything that happened here. I can guarantee that King Jorvahn will destroy all of them, and he won't hold you responsible," Saul said urgently to Sebastian and Belinda. Sebastian and the Warrior League were Saul's last hope. They were still more than ten miles away from the city, and it would be impossible for him to flee there if he had to run. Besides, the enemy would be sure to chase after him if
A few other Warrior League apprentices went up to them. When they were close enough, one of them asked coldly, "What are you shouting about in the middle of the night?"Saul looked fearfully at them and asked, "Where's Mr. Ballard? I want to see him! Something huge has happened!"He was very pale, and he looked extremely afraid. The Warrior League apprentices frowned, and one of them immediately took out his phone to call Blake.Upon hearing Blake's voice, the apprentice told him about how Saul had run over to them to ask for help.Blake nodded and said, "Don't hang up yet. Let me ask Madam Dragon."Blake hurriedly rolled down the window and waved a hand at the cars behind him, indicating for them to stop temporarily."Madam Dragon, Yvanton's team leader has come to ask for help, and he bumped into some of our men who were fixing their car. Do you think…"Belinda and Sebastian were both startled. Sebastian had just killed Jorvahn's grandson, and now Saul had come to ask them
"That's right! This time, we must find the Reincarnation Pill!" said another Warrior.If Jorvahn did turn up in Dramon, the Yutarian Warriors would be wiped out by him. Yutaria had sent over 300 Warriors this time, not just to defeat Dramon's Warriors in the arena. They had an even more important mission. They had to stay in Dramon and find the Reincarnation Pill!There were only less than three years until the day when their ancestral god would be restored. The ancestral god would remain asleep forever if they couldn't get the Reincarnation Pill back within those three years.At that time, the islands of Yutaria might even sink into the sea because of the ancestral god's deep slumber. This was a secret that Yutaria had hidden for thousands of years."Kill them all so they won't have a chance to spread the news!" Giovanni finally made up his mind after hesitating for a while."Yes, sir!" The Warriors straightened up simultaneously and bowed to Giovanni.Luigi waved a hand
The news of how Jorvahn's grandson had been chopped into mincemeat and fed to dogs caused a commotion in the family at once.However, Dramon was too far away, and they didn't know enough about the situation there. Even though they wanted revenge, they would have to wait for the visiting team to return to Yvanton before they could gain more information and form a plan.…On the way back to the city, Belinda was worried for Sebastian and said, "Mr. Ballard, although there's nothing wrong with killing the grandson of the Juwanian King Jorvahn, chopping the two into mincemeat and feeding them to the dogs was a little inappropriate."She didn't just have connections with the high-level officials of Dramon, but she also had many friends in the international martial arts community. However, she had never had any dealings with Jorvahn before.Jorvahn had a terrible reputation in both Yarroland and Velkashan. He was extremely hard to deal with, and it wasn't because he was capable. It was
