With his eyes locked on Sebastian, William warned, "Weren't you all high and mighty just now? You have a death wish, don't you? Come to the deck then!"With that said, he turned to leave the cabin and headed to the deck. Whitney almost passed out upon hearing what he said. Wagner … It was THE Hans Wagner of Steinberg he was talking about! Even Mabel shivered in fear, her face already as pale as a sheet. Hans was ruthless. They were doomed for sure! No thanks to Sebastian, that idiot! "Ms. Sutton, what do we do? Mr. Wagner's heading here!" Mabel shouted as she stomped her feet in frustration, her heart overwhelmed with anxiety. Whitney was afraid of Hans too. Sweat dotted her forehead, and her lips lost their color. Now, even her hands were cold, and her legs trembled. The path to the deck was right in front of her, but it seemed especially gloomy and foreboding now. Taking a deep breath, she grabbed Mable's hand and muttered, "Don't be afraid. This land has its laws. Mr
There was an uproar. The people on the deck all turned to look in fear at the group of men standing at the port.As the cruise ship slowly came to a halt, they finally got to see clearly what was happening at the port. The group of men who stood in a row looked strong and formidable. "They're Mr. Wagner's men …" "Oh my! Something huge's gonna happen tonight. This is the first time I'm seeing Mr. Wagner appear himself to settle things.""The poor fellows are so unlucky! They're gonna be tossed into the lake and drowned."The crowd couldn't stop talking about it. At the port, Hans got out of the Maybach at the very front of the line of cars. He had a cigar in his mouth and a thick golden chain around his neck. Even his face looked deadly, like a ferocious beast. "Mr. Wagner, the ship's docking," one of his men politely reminded him. Hans nodded and looked at the ship that was slowly coming their way. When it finally stopped completely, more than ten of his men in black suits
Sebastian glanced at Hans and snickered. "It seems like you've recovered well. You gained weight and look way better now," he said. "You can even teach someone else a lesson, I see." "It's all thanks to you!" Hans said with an awkward smile. "You gave me a second chance at life!" Everyone on the deck was stunned at this turn of events.What just happened? Why was Hans so polite toward the young man in front of him? Besides, Hans kept calling him "Dr. Ballard". Even William himself was baffled. He'd never seen Hans treat someone else with so much reverence. This time, he was doomed for sure! Just then, Hans turned to glare at him."You son of a bitch! What did you do to offend Dr. Ballard?" "N-No! I didn't!" William begged. "It's all a misunderstanding, Mr. Wagner!" In his fear, he stumbled backward as Hans approached him and said, "A misunderstanding, you say?"Hans kicked William in the stomach, sending William crashing to the ground once more. He kicked him a few m
"That's right! Don't just stand there as if nothing happened! You would've died if it weren't for Mr. Cobb!" Mabel said, going along with the flow. She was annoyed at him. He didn't even thank Fergus for saving his life. What a rude idiot! Chuckling, Fergus said, "It's fine. There will always be people who aren't grateful to others." Despite their words, Sebastian didn't feel like explaining himself. But then, his face darkened when he realized that Fergus had seized the chance to take credit for something that was not his doing. "You want me to thank him? Should I thank him for being a shameless fool then?" Sebastian laughed.His piercing eyes were locked on Fergus as he said coolly, "Mr. Cobb, I'm sure you know full well why Mr. Wagner left. Do you think you deserve my gratitude?""Sebastian!" Whitney snapped. She was furious at Sebastian for being so ungrateful toward his savior. "How could you say that?" she asked. "I know you don't like Fergus, but you wouldn't be aliv
Whitney, Fergus, and Mabel stood at the entrance of Luna's Waterfront."Whitney, the people who are having dinner here are the mentors and leaders of the Steinberg Medical Conference district competition," Fergus said to Whitney.He didn't exactly get this piece of news easily from his friend. It was top secret!"For real?" Whitney exclaimed.Fergus nodded. "Yeah. My friend is one of the person-in-charge of the Steinberg Medical Conference district competition next week. He told me about it."Moreover, the upcoming downtown selection competition next week is meticulously crafted by the original team of the Crestborne Harmony Quest program. "The event will be broadcast live, promising to make waves in Steinberg! I heard them mention that if the live broadcast of the competition is well-received, subsequent matches will be nationally televised. "According to them, the goal is to transform this year's medical conference into a program akin to Crestborne Harmony Quest, generating
After saying that, she ignored Whitney's visibly displeased expression and took Sebastian's arm. Surrounded by admiring gazes, they walked into Luna's Waterfront as if she were the center of the universe.Sebastian frowned a little when he passed by Whitney and the others, but eventually, he chose to remain silent.Whitney, Fergus, and Mabel were stunned. Their eyes widened as they stared at them walking in.They were really astonished."Damn! What's going on? Sebastian just went in like that?" Mabel exclaimed, utterly perplexed. Or rather, she was quite envious. Why Sebastian? How could such a useless and pathetic guy stroll into Luna's Waterfront? Why did several mentors and leaders personally come out to greet them?Fergus also furrowed his brow, cursing, "Damn! How arrogant! That idiot is just putting on airs because he's got himself a sugar mommy!"Fergus was furious. More than that, he felt the same envy as Mabel! It all seemed like a joke to him. Sebastian, the loser,
Rosalie shook her head. "They probably don't understand much. It's mainly for publicity. They'd probably just attend a few events. "You know, promoting traditional medicine is quite challenging nowadays. This is just one of the strategies we thought of—leveraging the natural popularity of celebrities to promote traditional medicine. "Those singing competitions on variety shows now often invite non-professional celebrities as judges to provide sharp critiques, grab attention, and create discussions."Sebastian nodded, slightly furrowing his brow but not saying much. Celebrities on the scene were just for show, after all. Sebastian didn't expect them to provide any insightful professional insights. As long as they didn't make random comments, he was fine."By the way, aren't you curious about the celebrities who will be joining?" Rosalie asked with a playful smile.Sebastian shook his head. "I'm not interested in the entertainment industry.""Boring!" Rosalie teased. "Let me
As soon as those words left Sebastian's mouth, the entire room fell silent. The atmosphere became incredibly awkward.Zeke's face instantly turned red, his anger flaring. He slammed the table and shouted, "Nonsense! Utterly absurd! Kidney deficiency?"Zeke resembled an enraged cat with its fur standing on end as he vehemently berated Sebastian. One could say a man lacked money, influence, or capability, but one absolutely shouldn't accuse a man of having kidney deficiency, especially not in front of others. And most certainly not in front of those with status and reputation. This was a man's bottom line, his ego and dignity.It was simply unacceptable. Moreover, Rosalie was still present, making it especially embarrassing for Zeke.However, Sebastian just smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Fisher, though kidney deficiency is an illness, it's not terrifying. With active cooperation in treatment, it can be cured.""Nonsense!" Zeke was furious, and he said in a cold tone, "Young m
