Alistair clenched his teeth and took a deep breath. Perhaps he had sensed that the extent of Sebastian's powers was hard to gauge, which was why he was not in any hurry to attack."I hope that we can resolve this peacefully. If we have to fight, both of us will end up hurt," Alistair said coolly."I'm talking about evidence. If you can prove that it belongs to you, I can return it to you! Otherwise, I don't mind making a move," Sebastian said, smirking.Alistair closed his eyes. It was as if he was thinking about something. After a long time, he wrote a word out on his palm and raised it slowly. When Sebastian saw what was written, he couldn't help being startled.Alistair had written an extremely strange-looking word. The way in which he had written it was very unique. It wasn't a modern script. It was the word "bane" from the early Quorn era. That type of script had disappeared from Crestborne for more than a thousand years. Even archaeologists no longer knew how to write it
Alistair managed to dodge over ten moves, but in the end, a bolt of intense energy hit him straight in the chest. It sent him flying backward.He spat out a mouthful of blood from the impact of the intense energy. After rolling on the ground, he got up as quickly as he could.However, he was still half a step too slow. Another bolt of intense energy hit him in his stomach. Alistair was flung into the air once again like a broken kite.At the same time, Sebastian attacked. He shot toward Alistair and released three silver needles. The silver needles plunged into several meridian points on Alistair's body. He fell to the ground and couldn't move any longer.Sebastian waved quickly at the dark shadow while he took out his Ovalia Token; a strong suction force pulled the shadow back into the Ovalia Token once more."What position do you have in the Fate Sect? How do you know about the Mirror of Rain?" Sebastian bent down and looked at Alistair, smiling. Alistair's gaze seemed rathe
"He has amnesia! Every two weeks, he'll lose his memories for three days! As for who he is, I have no idea! I'm nobody in the Dragon Sect. Please, have mercy!" Alistair breathed a sigh of relief when Sebastian pulled out the silver needles. Sebastian held the needles, frowning deeply.The Dragon Sect was outside the jurisdiction of the Nine Orders, Eighteen Principles and Thirty-Six Sects. It had existed for over 100 years.The organization was very mysterious, and about 20 years ago, the Nine Orders, Eighteen Principles and Thirty-Six Sects had joined forces against it. After that, the Dragon Sect had been driven abroad. As for the esteemed guest that Alistair had mentioned, it was very likely to be a powerful foreign organization. Perhaps the Dragon Sect wanted to use them to return to Dramon.Sebastian asked Alistair, "Apart from this, what else has the Dragon Sect been doing lately?"Alistair shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know either. All I know is that there h
"Shall we go for a walk, Sebastian?" Larys asked, beaming. He had even changed his form of address to Sebastian.Sebastian nodded slightly and said, "Since you've come personally, Mr. Compton, it would be remiss of me not to accept."Since Sebastian had agreed, Blake stood up and said, "Thank you for your time, Mr. Ballard."Sebastian gave Rosalie and Janet a few instructions before walking outside with Larys.When they got into the car, Larys asked in confusion, "Mr. Ballard, why have you and the Northman heir been getting so close recently?"Sebastian smiled slightly and told Larys about the events that had transpired at the auction. However, he omitted any mention of the Dragon Sect.When Larys heard that Sebastian had been ambushed by Dustin and the others, he said in an ingratiating tone, "Sebastian, the Northmans are a prestigious family in Sunway, but they have numerous enemies. "I advise you not to get too close to them in matters outside of business. Otherwise, you may
At that moment, a kind-looking old man walked out of the entrance to a loft. Despite how old he was, there was a strong gleam in his eyes and a faint trace of energy unique to those in the most advanced Celestial stage. He looked very formidable.When Blake saw him, he hastily bowed. "Mr. Chesterton!" Derek Chesterton frowned as he looked at Blake. He asked, "Blake? What took you so long?""Mr. Chesterton, we ran into some difficulties on the road, so we were delayed. Is Madam Dragon in?" Blake didn't go straight into the loft. He stopped outside the door."Madam Dragon is very anxious, and she's been waiting for a long time. I was just about to go out to meet you. Come with me." Derek's gaze rested on Sebastian for a few seconds before he strode into the loft."After you, Mr. Ballard," Blake said, gesturing at Sebastian to go first.When they walked into the main living room, a young woman was leaning back on a soft, plush chair in the center of the room. A heavy scent was comi
After a while, a maid carried a tea table over to Sebastian and began to make tea for him. The tea leaves that she used were the ones that Sebastian had liked the most after tasting them.The Lucoxes were one of the Eight Great Families, and it was evident in their every action. Even having tea was such a complicated process. Wouldn't it have been easier just to ask Sebastian what kind of tea he liked?After about ten minutes, Lilian brought a young woman into the living room. She was wearing a white dress.The young woman was as beautiful as a fairy. She had eyes that shone luminously like the moon, and straight, white teeth. Her rosy lips pressed gently together under her perfect nose. However, she was rather pale.She looked almost identical to Cecilia, the young woman who had been at the auction. The only difference was that she seemed more frail."Elara, say hello to Mr. Ballard."The young woman nodded at Belinda and turned to Sebastian. She bowed slightly and said, "Hell
"Well…" Sebastian hesitated and said, "It will need acupuncture for it to be effective."Derek raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Ballard, although we're now in modern times, you… you can't give acupuncture treatment to Ms. Elara while she's bathing!"Sebastian smiled wryly and said, "That is what troubles me, Mr. Chesterton. If we don't give both the medicine and the acupuncture treatment at the same time, I'm afraid that it won't be effective. However, I am a man, after all. It won't be convenient to treat Ms. Elara while she's bathing. I—""What do you think, Elara?" Belinda looked calmly at Elara."We must not hide an illness for fear of treatment," Elara said without hesitating. Sebastian's jaw dropped.Belinda nodded and said to a maid, "Go and make the preparations."Very soon, the wooden tub needed for the medicinal bath was prepared. Elara and Sebastian went to a small house with a courtyard that was behind the loft. They were accompanied by two maids."Mr. Ballard, h
Elara was already engaged, and Belinda was fairly satisfied with her future son-in-law. Elara, however, was not as keen. Despite this, Belinda could not allow Sebastian to take advantage of her daughter.Sebastian exhaled slightly once the acupuncture treatment was done. Elara had perfect skin and a perfect figure, too.Her skin was fair and very soft. "Mr. Ballard, your skills in medicine are amazing," Elara said as she put her clothes back on.She had never expected Sebastian to keep his back turned to her for the entire treatment while still maintaining perfect accuracy with every needle he used. He had skills that even the oldest and most experienced traditional medicine doctors would admire. "You're too kind, Ms. Elara. The ice venom in your body is too strong. You must not activate your vital energy for the next few days. Otherwise, the ice venom will move along your meridians, and today's treatment will be wasted," Sebastian said calmly.Elara nodded slightly. She had
