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
The old man, Joshua Sadler, nodded and said, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Mr. Stallone, Mr. Wolsey."Although he was apologizing, he looked very arrogant. He didn't look sorry at all."Mr. Sadler? Are you Joshua Sadler, the King of Geodes?""Oh it really is Joshua! How did the Stallones manage to invite someone so important?""It seems that the Stallones will win again at today's auction."Several people fixed their gazes on the old man. Joshua smiled slightly at the attention.Joshua was a very famous person in the state's cultural relic circles. He was rumored to have very sharp eyes. Any geode, emerald article, or antique that he picked out would turn out to be priceless.The Stallones had put in a lot of effort to hire Joshua and had given him an exorbitant annual salary of 80 million dollars. With Joshua backing him up, Jayden was even more confident."I think you'd better stay outside, Zane. You can't keep giving money to the sellers. The Northmans may have many asse
"Let's bet 100 million on the person who will get the highest value in auction items today. Do you dare to take the bet?" Sebastian asked, smiling.When Zane heard the amount that Sebastian was betting, he broke out in a cold sweat.Theodore had only given him 500 million. Even if he didn't get anything at the auction, he'd already have to give away 100 million for nothing!"Mr. Ballard… it'll be difficult for me to explain the 100 million to my father," Zane whispered to Sebastian anxiously, trying to deter him.Theodore wouldn't mind if the money was spent on Sebastian.However, if Zane lost 100 million in a bet because he had listened to a layman like Sebastian, his father would be sure to break both his legs.Joshua tossed a coin onto the floor and smiled arrogantly. He said, "That's already a big sum of money to you."There was a roar of laughter from the onlookers around them. Sebastian glanced at the coin and smiled impassively as he said, "Cut the crap. Will you take
If Jayden was able to get all the shops that the Northmans owned in Sunway, he would have made a major contribution to the Stallone family."How about this? Let's bet on all the shops that the Northmans have in Sunway. If you lose, all the shops will be ours. If you win, we'll give you half of the shops that we have in Sunway's city center." Jayden's offer sounded generous, but all of the Stallones' shops added together wouldn't even be worth as much as half of the Northmans' shops.After all, Northstar Pharma was established more than 20 years ago. Although they had remained focused on the pharmaceutical industries, they also dabbled in several side industries. They even had assets in the jewelry industry. Therefore, the Northmans were very meticulous in choosing the location of their stores. After a few rounds of renovation and rebuilding, even the elite of Sunway often visited them.The rich and wealthy were the ones who really drove consumption."Alright, but I have one mor
