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
Therefore, getting treatment for Dexter was a good chance for Eugene to shoot to prosperity with just one step.Even Harold's position as Sunway's mayor was connected to Dexter, his father-in-law.Sebastian nodded as he listened. He wasn't interested in the Coltranes. In his heart, he was thinking back on what Rose had said. A woman wanted him to die, but who was she?Eugene's car drove slowly into a neighborhood of villas in Sunway. The side of the roads in the area were lush with greenery, and there were all kinds of plants and flowers.Every few feet, tall and upright landscape trees had been planted. The scenery in the area was very pleasant. It felt like an oasis in the middle of the city.Harold lived in a detached villa, and two potted plants were placed at the entrance.In the courtyard, there was a lawn over 1000 square feet in size and a winding path paved with cloister stones. Even the foyer was about half as big as an average person's home.Sebastian couldn't help bu
"Mr. Tennyson, you've misunderstood. Mr. Targery Senior didn't say anything on the way here. Your current situation is already written on your face," Sebastian said, smiling. "Oh?" Harold's attitude softened slightly, and he said, "Well, tell me how you could see that.""It's very simple. Your face is gleaming slightly, which is a sign of something wrong with the spleen. Your complexion is dark, which indicates weak kidneys. The spleen issues are causing you to feel a lack of energy, and your kidneys are causing you to feel weakness in your lower body."As he listened to Sebastian explain simply and clearly, Harold lost the disdain he had had at first. He immediately told his maids to serve tea."Young man, why don't you tell me how I got this condition?" Harold said. He took out a cigar and handed it to Sebastian while he lit one himself.Sebastian blew out a smoke ring and said, smiling, "Mr. Tennyson, don't you have a habit of showering after dinner?"Harold was startled, but
On the one hand, Harold was doubtful of Sebastian's medical skills. On the other hand, he was afraid that he would miss an opportunity, so he wanted to have Sebastian settled down first. That night, Harold sent his own secretary to take Sebastian to the best five-star hotel in town. Eugene saw that he was no longer needed, so after informing Sebastian, he got in his car and left.Two days passed, but Harold still hadn't contacted Sebastian. However, every day, he would send someone to personally deliver food, cigars, and alcohol. He was very hospitable.Finally, on the third morning, Harold sent his secretary to take Sebastian back to his home."Mr. Tennyson!" Sebastian greeted him, smiling."Oh, Sebastian! Have you had a comfortable stay over the past two days?" When Harold saw Sebastian, he got up quickly to greet him. They were now even on first-name terms."You're too kind, Mr. Tennyson. Of course I'm having a good stay. It's a five-star hotel," Sebastian said, smiling."
Maeve was Harold's wife, and she was eight years younger than him. She had only married Harold because she had run away from her arranged marriage.Although Harold wasn't as well off as the Coltranes, he was more reliable than a wealthy heir would be, and he wasn't a playboy. Maeve was a beautiful woman, after all, and she was a wealthy heiress. She was confident of that, at least.Maeve glared at Callum and smiled as she walked down the stairs to shake Sebastian's hand.Harold had told Maeve in advance about bringing Sebastian to treat Dexter, so Maeve had come early to make sure that everything was prepared.After exchanging a few pleasantries, Maeve said to Sebastian very worriedly, "We've brought in many people over the past few years for my father's condition. We even got a doctor from Janover, but none of them could tell us what is the cause of his condition."Sebastian frowned slightly and said, "Mrs. Tennyson, could I ask what symptoms he has?""It's very straightforwar
"I think that traditional medicine doctors are all worthless. To be more accurate, traditional medicine shouldn't even be categorized as medicine. It's just superstition!" Raymond said arrogantly."The intricacies of traditional medicine are not for the likes of you to comment on. You should know that the history of traditional medicine goes back even further than that of your country!" Sebastian hadn't spoken at first, as he did not want to stoop to the level of these people. However, he couldn't stand by and let Raymond insult traditional medicine."How old are you, young man?" Shauna asked Sebastian, smiling."28," Sebastian answered honestly."This is the first time I've met a traditional medicine doctor who's 28 years old. Maeve, you and Harold have impeccable taste!" Shauna said sarcastically to Maeve and Harold."How embarrassing!" Percy glared at Sebastian, giving him the finger as well.When Raymond had made fun of Dramon's traditional medicine, Percy hadn't dared to
Even Percy didn't dare to take the bet with Raymond. Why would a young man like Sebastian, who was barely out of puberty, accept the bet?If he lost, they wouldn't be the only ones who were humiliated. They would embarrass the entire traditional medicine industry."Things seem very lively in here!" A hearty voice rang out. Everyone turned to look in the direction of the stairs.An old man in white training clothes was walking slowly down the stairs. The old man's hair was white, but he had a ruddy complexion, and his voice was firm and strong. He didn't seem like someone who was sick at all.It was Dexter, the head of the Coltrane family.Maeve, Callum, Shauna, and Harold stood up immediately when they saw him."Dad!""Uncle Dexter!"The old man nodded slightly and glanced at Sebastian and the others. He smiled and said, "This condition of mine has troubled all of you."Sebastian and the others got up quickly to greet him. "Uncle Dexter, this is Dr. Wolham. I brought him her
