"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
Blake quickly took the wooden box from Belinda and handed it to Sebastian.Sebastian took it with both hands. The moment he received it, his head whipped up in shock, and he stared at Belinda.The item in the wooden box weighed more than 20 pounds, but Belinda had held it in one hand as if it were nothing.Belinda's powers were probably greater than that of a Supreme Grandmaster. She might even be an expert in the Celestial stage."What's the matter?" Belinda asked, smiling when she saw Sebastian staring at her in shock."You are very skilled, Madam Dragon," Sebastian praised her sincerely. He took the wooden box and placed it on the coffee table beside him."Mr. Ballard, the box contains a belt. You can open it and have a look. There's a soft sword contained in the belt. Perhaps you can use it for defending yourself," Belinda said, smiling.Sebastian opened the wooden box and saw a purple and gold belt made of pure steel. Between the buckles, there was a long sword several feet
Janet was full of delight as she spoke.No wonder Mike had told her to latch on to Sebastian as tightly as she could. Now that she thought about it, Mike had really thought things through. After all, those in high positions were much more likely to care about their health. Sebastian's amazing medical skills were exactly what they needed!The saying went that as long as one person prospered, it would benefit everyone in their vicinity. Although Janet was just Sebastian's maid, she was sure that the Connollys' status in Steinberg would be elevated in future as well by association with Sebastian.Sebastian only smiled impassively and waved a hand, saying, "Alright, it's getting late. Let's all get some rest."Janet assented and ran quickly to the inner rooms to lay out Sebastian's bed for him. She was now determined to serve Sebastian well.As the lights in the convenience store were turned off, a paper crane flew into the air from under a streetlight. It looked rather eerie.A
In the living room of a detached villa in the suburbs of Sunway, a handsome young man in a branded suit smashed an empty wine bottle on the floor. As the wine bottle shattered, the maids and bodyguards around him lowered their heads in fear. They didn't even dare to breathe."Hmph! That bitch, Rosalie! I can't believe that she would rather be with that country bumpkin and get kicked out by the Griffins! What does that Ballard fellow have that I don't?" Ryan shouted angrily as he popped open another bottle of red wine and threw his head back to gulp it down.Bright red wine slid out of the corner of his mouth and dripped onto his snow-white shirt. Then, he slammed the wine bottle down on the table and stared at the people around him with blood-red eyes. "Get lost! Get out right now!"The bodyguards and maids hastily rushed out of the living room. Only the old man sitting on the sofa opposite Ryan remained, looking calmly at Ryan.The old man was a retainer of the Joneses. His name
"Ms. Griffin already has someone on her mind. I'm afraid that she's way out of my league." Ryan was Hugh's oldest son and the second most powerful man in the state capital. However, he was self-aware and knew that if the Beckards hadn't managed to get Rosalie to marry into their family, he would have even less of a chance. He didn't want to end up like Stephen."What if I were to tell you that I could help you get rid of Ballard?" Jace asked calmly.What?A flicker of hope sparked in Ryan's eyes, which had been dull and lifeless a moment before. "Are you serious, Mr. Beckard?" Jace laughed coldly and said, "Of course. Not only that, neither of us will have to lift a finger."Jace told Ryan about Sebastian's recent acquisition of two valuable treasures. However, he omitted the fact that Belinda had personally given them to Sebastian as a gift.A sinister smile appeared on Ryan's face after he heard about what had happened. He narrowed his eyes and said, "Ballard really is rec
Rosalie watched Sebastian get taken away by Cyril and his men. She said anxiously to Janet, "Let's go to the sanatorium together! Mr. Holman Senior should be able to help.""Didn't my lord say that we shouldn't ask Mr. Holman Senior for help?" Janet asked in confusion."No! As soon as Sebastian gets captured by the Alpha Strike Force team, he'll be in great danger. They can use their connections, but so can we."Rosalie knew very well that the Alpha Strike Force team was extremely influential. Therefore, she packed quickly and pulled down the metal roll-up door of the convenience store. She took Janet with her to the sanatorium.…Meanwhile, in a villa in Sunway, a middle-aged man in a suit put his phone down gleefully.He turned and said to Ryan, "Mr. Ryan, it's done. The Alpha Strike Force team in Steinberg have already captured Sebastian. They're on their way back to the base."Ryan looked triumphant as he grinned and said, "Okay, good work! This time, we must drive Sebastian
Cyril waved the appraisal report in front of Sebastian and said gleefully, "Do you know that an ancient sword from the Tunger era would be enough to get you sentenced to death? "Both your relics are from the early Quorn era, which is even further back in history than the Tunger era! It would be enough to convict you to death many times over!" An excited light shone in Cyril's eyes as he spoke.With the appraisal report, he was pretty much guaranteed the position of commander. He had solved a case involving the illegal reselling of cultural relics from the early Quorn era. Even the Janover Alpha Strike Force team executives would be sure to call and compliment Cyril. His name would be recorded in the annals of history."We're not even sure who's about to die. Look at how happy you are! Anyone would think that there was something wrong with your brain just by looking at you," Sebastian said mockingly."Oh, Ballard, cut the crap. Tell me, how would you like to die?" Cyril put down
