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 teased her back."You little—" the young woman was so angry that she pulled out a dagger and thrust it at Sebastian several times."A fierce woman like you will find it hard to get married." Sebastian dodged slightly and avoided the dagger she was holding."Forget it! I'm not going to fight anymore!" The woman suddenly stopped attacking and put her dagger back in its sheath."Well, we wouldn't have met if it weren't for this battle, don't you think?" Sebastian said lightly, trying his best to seem relaxed.If they had kept fighting, Sebastian didn't know how long he could last. It wasn't that the woman's moves were particularly aggressive. It was because she moved too quickly.If Sebastian hadn't had the legacy of the Sacred Medicine Society, he would have been defeated long ago.The woman smiled sweetly as she looked at Sebastian and said, "Am I right to say that you're flirting with me?"Her smile made Sebastian's heart flutter. The woman wasn't just beautiful. She
Early the next morning, Sebastian received a call from Eugene."Mr. Ballard, I've got news. Ryder returned to Dramon from Yarroland three days ago. The moment he got back, the first person he went to see was Jace."However, what I don't understand is that Jace only met him once before leaving Steinberg and going back to Sunway. "Jayden, the heir of the Stallones, went to Steinberg on the same day. There's also a mysterious person who went with Jayden, and the three of them met up with Ryder at Steinberg. However, I couldn't find any information about the third person."Sebastian nodded and said, "Does that mean that Ryder is the Beckards' pawn that they've stationed in Steinberg?""As expected, nothing can be hidden from you, Mr. Ballard. The Beckards have given the Suttons an order worth 500 million. However, that's just for show. It's only to up the stakes for Ryder."He added, "Besides, the Stallones' involvement makes it feel as if they're just waiting to devour Frostwave Co
"What is your name, sir?" the bodyguard in the lead asked, smiling as he handed Sebastian a cigarette."Sebastian Ballard." As there was a child in the car and the windows were all closed, Sebastian waved the cigarette away."I've never heard of you before!" The bodyguard gave him a name card and said, "My name is Daxton Haddock!"Sebastian took the name card and smiled at Daxton. "I'm not from Boren. I just came here for a trip to Mount Quiln."Daxton was startled. Although the area around Mount Quiln was a popular tourist area, strange things had been happening there continuously since autumn the year before. No one had come there for a holiday for more than half a year."Mr. Ballard, are you confident of being able to save Ms. Candy?" Daxton asked rather worriedly. After all, even Solomon had said that there was no cure for a condition like hers. Sebastian was a young man in his 20s who looked very confident. It was hard not to be doubtful.Sebastian shook his head slightl
Solomon became agitated when he heard that Sebastian wanted to go to the abandoned mine. He tried to dissuade him. "You must not put yourself in danger, my young friend. Even others would have run into ghosts if they didn't heed warnings."The young man glanced at Solomon and said, "Dr. Jackman, they all say that you're a kind-hearted person. Why are you stopping others from trying to save Ms. Candy when you refuse to do so yourself?"Solomon turned red and sighed. "There was a huge mining accident there 30 years ago, and it's always been tainted with evil. To tell you the truth, my younger brother also didn't heed the warnings and—"Tears slid down Solomon's cheeks. Solomon's younger brother had endangered himself ten years ago to try and cure someone's illness. However, he had been carried back on a stretcher three days after that.He had been in the same state as the little girl and Candy. His eyes had been vacant, and he had neither eaten nor drunk nor slept. After just three
"Yes, we have. Mrs. Wilham from our village is a medium, but she says that she can't cure this child and asked us to look for someone else," the middle-aged woman said and started crying again."What else did she say?" Sebastian asked, bending down to look carefully at the little girl.The middle-aged woman hesitated for a long time before she stuttered, "Actually… Mrs. Wilham says that t-there's no hope for our child anymore! She can only live three more days at most!"Before the middle-aged woman could finish speaking, there was a screech of brakes outside the door. Right after that, there was the sound of hurried footsteps, and over a dozen young men in suits barged in."Which of you is Dr. Solomon Jackman?" the young man in the lead yelled urgently.Solomon answered quickly, "It's me!"The young man waved quickly at the people behind him and said, "Hurry!"Soon, a young woman who was about 20 years old was carried inside.The young woman was pretty, and she was wearing clo
The two apothecaries immediately tossed their brooms aside. One helped the middle-aged woman to open the door while the other took the child from her arms."Time to see a patient, Dr. Larsen!" one of the apothecaries called out to an old doctor as he carried the child inside.The old doctor pushed his glasses up his nose and eyed the mother and daughter. He walked slowly over to the consultation table and sat down."Don't worry, ma'am. What's wrong with the child?" the doctor, Ellis Larsen, asked the middle-aged woman. At that moment, Sebastian and Unus walked into Townsend Clinic together. On the way there, Sebastian had remained focused on the little girl because the look in her eyes was highly abnormal. "Doctor, I don't know what's happened to her. She hasn't eaten or drunk anything since last night, and she doesn't say a word no matter what I ask her. All she does is to stare vacantly into space!" the middle-aged woman said tearfully to Ellis. Ellis couldn't help drawing i
Javier had gone to Sunway for a meeting and was not in Acorn City. Whatever the old man said would be representative of Javier. "Mr. Gabbard, we can't let him go!""Yes, Mr. Gabbard. He's caused such a fuss at the Martial Arts Court that he should at least get both legs broken before we can let him go!""Besides, he injured Mr. Lynch! How will we explain to Mr. Berkeley when he gets back?"A few of the younger deacons protested. "I've already said that these two gentlemen may leave. Anyone who tries to stop them will be executed without mercy!" Cohen Gabbard was furious. Didn't these idiots know how to read the room? Did they have to carry out flattery no matter what the situation was?Didn't they know who the minced meat all over the floor belonged to? Who else could they be except the missing deacons?No matter how they had done it, someone who was able to smash a living person into mincemeat must be extremely powerful indeed. Even if they tried to tie Sebastian and Un
There was a dull thwack. The deacon in the lead didn't even have time to turn and escape before he was squashed into mincemeat by a single punch from Unus. Gleaming blood and flesh scattered everywhere. The rest of them tried to escape when they saw what had happened, but their speed couldn't compare to that of Unus. Before they could get to the door, Unus' fist had already reached them.There was a series of thumps as four or five deacons were all crushed. Blood and lumps of flesh fell all over the floor. The smell of blood hung heavily in the interrogation room.Jayden and Bryson cowered in a corner, trembling.Unus couldn't be human! How could it have reduced a live person to mincemeat with just one punch?As Jayden and Bryson looked on, Unus walked up to Sebastian expressionlessly. He raised his hand and tugged lightly on the chains that bound Sebastian tightly. They immediately broke into numerous pieces.Sebastian stood up and stretched before walking in Colton's directi
"Mr. Lynch! Are you alright?" The deacons surrounded Colton at once.Colton had been very unlucky that day. Not only had Sebastian beaten him half to death, but he had even been injured in the head once again by him, even though Sebastian was chained. When Colton noticed how much he was bleeding, he lost it completely. "Kill him!" he roared in fury, looking crazed. The deacons exchanged looks. They knew how skillful Bryson was. However, Bryson was unable to stand against Sebastian, and it made the deacons even more afraid to move forward.Although Colton was the heir of the Lynch family, it wouldn't be worth getting their arms and legs broken by Sebastian just to flatter him. "Go and get him, damn it! I'll give you money! Each person will get one million. Beat him to death!"Colton was very agitated. He yelled at the top of his voice at Sebastian while pointing at him with his crutch. As the saying went, there would always be a hero when there was a big reward. Upon hearin
A faintly murderous light flashed in Sebastian's eyes, and the deacons felt a chilling murderous energy. The deacon who had been pointing at Sebastian with a steel rod couldn't help stepping backward. He took a long time to recover. Sebastian was bound tightly in chains that were as thick as a man's thumb, and he had been cuffed to the steel chair. There was no way that he could fight back at all.The deacon felt annoyed at being scared by someone in that state, and he pointed at Sebastian with his steel rod again and shouted, "You must be tired of living, you brat! How dare you say Mr. Wentworth's name?""Even Joaquin wouldn't dare to speak to me in that manner," Sebastian said calmly.If Joaquin knew that Sebastian had been arrested by deacons from the Mount Acorn Martial Arts Court, he would kill them all without hesitation!"You're very arrogant! Mr. Lynch specifically mentioned this object. I'll give you five thousand dollars, and you can send it to him. Do you have any obje
"You said that Mr. Lynch wanted to take something that belonged to you. Where is the object?" the deacon in the lead asked, sneering. Sebastian pointed at his shirt pocket and said, "Here!" The deacon pulled out the emerald buckle from Sebastian's pocket. He weighed it in his hand and waved at the other deacons, saying, "Take him away!"When Jayden saw that Sebastian had been marched off by deacons from the Martial Arts Court, he called an ambulance for Colton. Luckily, Colton was from an elite martial arts family. Despite being spoiled, he had at least trained in martial arts, which was why he wasn't as frail as an ordinary person would be. Otherwise, he would have succumbed to his injuries long ago.Bryson and the others were also carried into the ambulance by the medical staff. Solomon sighed as he watched Sebastian leave. Although the Martial Arts Court appeared to be upholding the law, they were actually in cahoots with the Lynches. Now that Sebastian had been taken by t
