"Ryder, how dare you say that to Winnie? I'll beat you up!"Dante was furious to see Whitney barely hanging on to life. Even if he couldn't replace her as the CEO of Frostwave Corporation, he didn't want Ryder to take everything that Whitney had worked so hard for over the past three years.Dante shot up and raised his fist to punch Ryder in the face.Before Dante's fist could reach Ryder, a figure suddenly stood in front of him. There was a thump as he landed a punch on Dante's chest.Dante felt as if he had been run over by a speeding train. He flew backward helplessly and fell to the ground with a heavy thump.He struggled to get up, and he spat out blood.Crystal burst into tears when she saw that Whitney had been triggered into a flare-up while Dante had been beaten up so badly that he was coughing up blood.She went to help Dante up while staring hatefully at Edna. She said, "Edna, what crime has our family committed? Why are you doing this to us? If anything happens to my
"What? Go to Sebastian?" Crystal stared blankly at Theresa. She couldn't understand what use there would be in going to that loser."Mrs. Sutton, at this point, I don't want to lie to you any longer. The truth is that Sebastian was the one who saved Whit the first time she had this flare-up. You were there at the time!""Now, only Sebastian can save her life. Are you just going to stand by and watch her wither without any help?" Theresa's words seemed to pierce deeply into Crystal's heart like a steel needle!As Theresa had said, Whitney's cold syndrome had flared up again after she got caught in the rain. Even the miracle doctors from Medcity had been unable to do anything. In the end, Sebastian had done acupuncture for Whitney and pulled her back from death's door. Although Crystal hated Sebastian because she felt that he ruined Whitney's bright future, the truth was that Sebastian was the only one who could make Whitney wake up in a short amount of time, just as Theresa had sai
However, they were still friends, and Rosalie was happy to see her.Cecilia looked Sebastian up and down and walked thoughtfully over to Rosalie. She smiled and asked, "Rosalie, did you go back on your engagement for him? You've paid a high price!"The truth was that Cecilia admired Sebastian's medical skills greatly, but that wasn't enough to make up for everything that Rosalie had lost!After all, Rosalie had once been in control of half the Griffins' family fortune. She had money and status that Sebastian couldn't give her!Rosalie only smiled slightly and shook her head, saying, "That's not what I think. Perhaps in a very short time, Sebastian's accomplishments will surpass those of the entire Griffin family. "Besides, even if I hadn't met Sebastian, I would never agree to marry Stephen! Just like the way you would've rather die than marry Ronan Leyton because of Ethan Whitehall!" Cecilia couldn't help turning to look at Sebastian, but finally, she shook her head and said,
"Something big has happened with the Suttons. Whitney's condition flared up, and I don't have time to tell you right now. For the sake of the three years that you and Whitney were married, don't abandon her at this time!" Theresa said clearly, looking at Sebastian with a serious expression.Sebastian couldn't help frowning. He asked, "What's happened with the Suttons?"Before Theresa could speak, Crystal said urgently, "Sebastian, Winnie's prognosis isn't good at all. Could I tell you on the way there?"When Rosalie saw how anxious Crystal was, she hurried over to Sebastian and said in a low voice, "Sebastian, I know you don't want to leave me alone to rescue Whitney. However, I don't want you to have any regrets at all."Besides, Frostwave Corporation is an important partner of Arctic Snow Group. This is the start of Arctic Snow Group, and we can't afford to lose such an important business partner. That is why I approve of you going to save her."Sebastian's heart warmed. He nodd
"Why you!" Cecilia looked coldly at Janet. If it weren't for the fact that she needed Sebastian's help, she would have slapped her.She was known in Janover for her fiery personality. Even the wealthy heirs in Janover had to be respectful to her, let alone a maid in Sebastian's shop!"Am I wrong? Ms. Griffin is free to date whoever she wants to. Does it have anything to do with you?" Janet asked. She turned and walked inside, leaving Cecilia standing there alone."Hmph!" Cecilia stomped her foot and glared angrily at Janet's retreating figure. She gritted her teeth and said, "Sebastian, wait and see!"With that, she stormed out of the shop. …Half an hour later, Whitney finally woke up after Sebastian had put in a huge amount of effort. When she opened her eyes and saw Sebastian gazing concernedly at her, tears spilled out of her eyes."Sebastian… I…"Before Whitney could speak, Sebastian shook his head slightly and said, "I heard about what happened with the Suttons. I'm very
The atmosphere in the hospital room became very awkward after Sebastian finished speaking.He was right. He and Whitney were no longer a legally married couple. He had no right to ask about the Sutton family affairs, and he was in no position to stand up for Whitney either.As for Frostwave Corporation, from the day Sebastian had handed it over to Whitney, it no longer had anything to do with him.As Crystal watched Sebastian walk away, her knees gave way, and she fell to the floor in a daze. Whitney lay back on the hospital bed, tears rolling silently down her cheeks. At this point, there was no way of turning back. "Don't worry, Mrs. Sutton. I'm sure Sebastian won't stand by and do nothing. The most important thing is to let Whit recover as soon as possible so that she can stand up to Ryder."Whitney gave Theresa a strange look. Why had Theresa said the same thing as Rosalie?Everyone apart from Whitney seemed to have a strange faith in Sebastian.…Rosalie only went for a
However, the head of the League of Sages had suddenly died 15 years ago, and the group had declined as a result. In this day and age, there were very few people who knew of the League of Sages.When Rosalie mentioned the Ten Great Experts, Sebastian's heart skipped a beat. Even the Sacred Medicine Society was wary of the Ten Great Experts!Was Derek one of the Ten Great Experts? He was the one Sebastian had met earlier. It seemed that Belinda was from a very influential background. No wonder even her maid had skills at the Grandmaster level."Is that why there are so many experts around her?" It was not a very convincing reason. No matter how skilled one was, they would never be able to defeat the country. "The League of Nations is pretty much the same as The Killers, but what they do is more above board. "Have you ever thought about the fact that even influential figures have people that they need to kill but can't deal with openly? Wouldn't the League of Sages be the best ch
"What's the matter?" Rosalie asked, frowning."Nothing. Let's get out of the car and go for a walk." Sebastian pushed the car door open gently and stepped out. However, he immediately shut the car door and said to Rosalie, who looked startled, "No matter what happens, don't get out of the car.""Why? Didn't you want to go for a walk together?" Rosalie asked, confused. Sebastian could already feel a pair of eyes staring fixedly at him. The strange, cold feeling that had risen up in his heart told him that the person watching him must be nearby.He closed the door, walked over to the edge of the woods, and stopped. "Sebastian—" Rosalie's voice came from behind him but stopped abruptly.Sebastian turned sharply, only to see that Rosalie had been knocked unconscious inside the car."Who's there?" Sebastian asked calmly.It was unusually silent. The only sound was the rustling of the wind as it swept over the leaves on the trees.Danger!Sebastian's instincts told him that dan
Sebastian nodded slightly. Yorrick had probably killed the young man because the latter was proficient in mystic spells and was already on the brink of the threshold. That could be the only reason for Yorrick's senseless deedThere were some people who couldn't bear seeing people who were stronger than them, which was why they made their move before their opponent could grow and develop."Are you really going to concede three moves to me, old man?" Sebastian stepped forward, grinning."Of course!" Yorrick answered, staring arrogantly at him.He still hadn't seen anything out of the ordinary with Sebastian, so he assumed that Sebastian was just an ordinary guy. He had probably only been able to defeat so many experts—including Egbert—because he had used some kind of trick. Egbert had lost because he had fallen into Sebastian's trap, not because of the latter's skills. That was why Egbert ended up suffering from the backlash of the ghost he had nurtured and lost his powers."I'll
"Young man, you're so cruel. Have you ever thought of the consequences of your actions?" Yorrick asked. He put his hands behind his back as he walked slowly toward Sebastian. Sebastian eyed Yorrick, whose training was at least on the same level as Egbert's. Besides, what he had studied was also a kind of spell. He and Sebastian specialized in the same study.The moment Yorrick got angry, Sebastian had sensed the faint power of Dainist principles from him."No blows are kind, and neither are harsh words! Why do you people feel that others should meekly allow you to beat them up? When your people are injured, you immediately think of it as the other party's mistake! That doesn't make any sense!" Sebastian answered coldly."Mr. Irving, kill that asshole!" Kayden said viciously. He was still clutching his crotch with one hand while he pointed at Sebastian with his other hand. Beside them, Jayden said defiantly, "Mr. Irving, you must not let this guy go! He's ruthless and extremely
Huh? Egbert frowned involuntarily. He had never felt that way before. What was going on? There was a loud blast, and the gigantic statue suddenly appeared out of thin air. At the same time, Egbert suddenly felt his blood churning inside him, and he immediately felt a sense of foreboding.He was about to turn and run when a black bolt of light hit him in the back. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and flew through the air like a broken kite. "Oh! Are you actually a sadist, old man?" Sebastian asked, smiling.Before Egbert could scramble up again, yet another bolt of dark light flew toward him."Damn it!"Egbert could no longer be conscious of his image and dignity. He swore at once. The dark light was aimed at his energy reserve. If he was hit, his decades of training would be completely ruined. However, he had plenty of life experience and had been through many such situations. When he saw the dark light flying toward him, he rolled across the floor like a bal
The dark shadow stretched out a large hand toward Nina. It appeared to be planning on tearing off her clothes. "Die?" Nina burst into laughter. How dare a ghost who was only around 300 years old talk to her about dying? As the smile stiffened on Nina's face, she bared her teeth, revealing fangs. Her scarlet eyes looked up impassively at the dark shadow above her head. "Aargh!" When the gigantic, dark shadow saw Nina's true form, it turned to try and escape, but it was too close to her that it was impossible for it to do so.It had only taken one step backward before Nina reached out and yanked it back."Have mercy, my lady!" The giant shadow disappeared and became a dark and scrawny-looking ghost that was less than five feet tall. "How dare you disrupt my dreams? You deserve to disintegrate into nothing!"Nina raised her hand and pressed down on top of the dark and scrawny ghost's head. "No!"The dark and scrawny ghost fell to its knees with a thump before Nina and sa
The Sacred Medicine Secret Annals also contained mystic spells from the Demon Sect. However, it was clearly written that those who practiced them would suffer divine punishment if they were to excel in it!Those were very heavy words indeed. How evil did those spells have to be if they would bring down divine punishment on those who excelled in practicing them?"Hmph! Stop trying to act as if you're smart in front of me. Have you ever seen such amazing spells? Believe it or not, I can kill your entire family with a click of my fingers?"There was a sinister tinge to Egbert's smile. With ordinary people, Egbert would only have to send out a thought to kill the entire family of his opponent instantly.However, Sebastian was being very dismissive of him. Evil spells like those required the supernatural spirit behind Egbert to sense the opponent's energy, after which they would use the same energy to find their family members.The process wasn't as mysterious as Egbert made it out
Those deceptive tricks appeared impressive, but those who Egbert healed would only end up in an even worse state, suffering even more."I haven't committed any crimes. How can I accept my punishment?" Sebastian asked disinterestedly.Brayden sneered. "You're not the one who decides whether you've committed a crime or not. Come! Subdue this defiant man!"Subdue Sebastian? Who would dare to do such a thing?The law enforcement hall members exchanged looks.Upon seeing this, Egbert stepped forward and said arrogantly, "Young man, you've seen what I can do. Compared to me, you martial arts practitioners aren't worthy of mention at all. I'll be lenient on you because you're young and ignorant. Just give up and come quietly!"Egbert was different from ordinary deacons in the Martial Arts Court. He had been hired specially as a mystic spells expert.When compared with mystic spells or cultivation, so-called martial arts weren't worthy of mention at all.That was because all mystic spe
Brayden sneered. "Kill you and cover this up? You overestimate yourselves. This is an act of protecting officials!" The bare fact of the matter was that they were going to kill everyone who knew about the Berkeleys' depraved acts. Once they had done so, the Berkeleys' perfect image would be restored. "Do you think that it's reasonable and lawful for Kayden to act the way he does?" Sebastian asked in a cold, accusing voice. "There's no helping it. Those in power must have some privileges. That's an accepted fact in the world. It's your fault for not being part of this class of people. If you're going to blame anyone, blame yourselves for being born in the wrong family!" Brayden said smugly as he shot Egbert Galen a glance. Egbert strode over to Kayden and crouched down to inspect his injuries. He tapped him with a finger. "Aargh!" The pain made huge beads of sweat drip down Kayden's face."Alright. You can stand up and take a few steps, Mr. Kayden!" Egbert said, putting his
"Oh?" Brayden glanced twice at Sebastian before asking, "What crime has Mr. Kayden committed? Tell me!" Sebastian couldn't be bothered to argue with him and just played the phone recording. The two old men frowned involuntarily when they finished listening to it."You're Inspector Jefferson, aren't you? I'd like to ask you how anyone could want to sleep with a bride at a wedding banquet in front of thousands of guests. Is he an animal? Don't the Berkeleys do this sort of thing in private?"Does this mean that when someone in the Berkeley family gets married, any of the guests or even a mere passerby can have their way with the bride in front of all their friends and family?"Javier turned red, then pale as he listened. He pointed at Sebastian and cursed him loudly. "You bastard! Stop talking nonsense!""Inspector Jefferson, since you admire Mr. Kayden's genes so much, why don't you let him improve your family's gene pool as well? You should especially let Mr. Kayden help out wi
Two black-clad men came up to the car door and opened it for Brayden, who then got out of the car. As he alighted, two elderly men also got out of the black car behind him. They came up beside Brayden and said, "Inspector Jefferson!" Brayden clasped his hands behind his back and nodded as he said, "Mr. Galen, Mr. Irving. Come and get rid of this nuisance with me today. Remember, we must not show any mercy!" The two old men nodded slightly and said, "We'll do as you say, Inspector Jefferson!"Brayden nodded slightly and said to Jayden, "Lead the way!" Jayden hastily gestured for them to go ahead. He led them happily into the Aequor.He had fled the hotel just a while ago, but in the blink of an eye, he seemed to have transformed into a different person. He walked into the hotel with his chest puffed up, and his entire demeanor had changed. The attendants on the first floor looked at him in surprise. "Did that handsome young guy go and get himself an invigorating shot of so
