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
Terence smiled coldly and said, "Mr. Whitehall, according to what I know about the Warrior League, Madam Dragon will be sure to dispatch many experts to rescue them. At that time, all we have to do is—""Oh? Do you mean to use Whitney as bait and get rid of all the Warrior League high-level executives in one blow, Mr. Manderly?" Ethan asked. He swallowed and looked a little nervous.There were several experts in the Celestial realm and above among the high-level executives of the Warrior League too.It would be risky to try and destroy the Warrior League high executives with just the experts at the third level of the Celestial realm that he and Terence had brought along.Terence saw that Ethan looked afraid, and he said confidently, "Don't worry, Mr. Whitehall. My Soulbell isn't famous for nothing. As long as Madam Dragon and the Warrior League high executives fall for it, they will not be able to escape my grasp."Ethan laughed awkwardly and swallowed. He said, "Uh, Mr. Manderly,
Just as Sebastian had expected, the so-called Rubercloud Valley was just a trap that Anthony had set up for him. Sebastian had seen from Blake's expression that Rubercloud Valley really was one of the most dangerous places known to them. "The Pinnacle Sect keeps its prisoners in two locations. One is in the deepest part of the Black Ursa ridge, which is the third peak of the Pinnacle Sect. "There is a cave there, and they usually keep more unimportant prisoners there. However, important people are only imprisoned in Rubercloud Valley," Anthony said mournfully. He hadn't been lying completely to Sebastian. Rubercloud Valley was just more dangerous. If Sebastian died there, Anthony would have had his revenge."The deepest part of the Black Ursa ridge?" Sebastian frowned slightly. Mt. Ursa stretched from east to west for close to 1000 miles. It was one of the most dangerous mountain ranges in the north. It was also the only mountain range near Steinberg."Rubercloud Valley! Th
"The red fog in Rubercloud Valley is very poisonous. That is why the mountain was named Mt. Myria. All the criminals of the Pinnacle Sect are locked up there," Anthony said carefully.Rubercloud Valley?Blake couldn't help frowning. "Sebastian, it is a very dangerous place. You must not go there lightly!"Sebastian turned to look at Blake and asked, "Oh? You know about Rubercloud Valley too?"Blake nodded slightly and said, "There are hardly any people among the mystic sects who don't know about it. However, no one knows that Rubercloud Valley is the fourth peak of the Pinnacle Sect.""That's right. Rubercloud Valley is very dangerous. You must be careful, Mr. Ballard," Anthony agreed."You have no right to speak here!" Sebastian glared coldly at him."Sebastian, he's right. Rubercloud Valley has always been very mysterious, and many experts from the mystic sects have lost their lives there. It was already a very mysterious area about 100 years ago. You know about the Yutarian i
After about ten minutes, when Sebastian returned to the convenience store once more, he saw that Nina had taken Anthony back to her room.It had only been half an hour, but Anthony felt as if it had been more than ten years.He couldn't understand how Nina's slender hands could move faster than knives. Whenever she slashed at his body casually, a huge wound that was about a foot long would appear.When Nina heard Anthony wailing and screaming tragically, she smiled in satisfaction. "Let's try out how tough your bones are, shall we?" Anthony felt his scalp prickle when he saw Nina crouch, grinning.He had naively thought that he would suffer less torture after Sebastian had handed him over to two pretty women. He had never imagined that as soon as Sebastian left, he would feel as if he had fallen into a demon's den!"Please, ma'am! Just let me go! Stop torturing me!" Anthony was weeping for real this time. Snot and tears streamed down his face as he pleaded in despair, "Do a good
Whitney stared at herself in the mirror in shock. It was only then that she realized that what had happened to Madeline was now happening to her own face.At that moment, the door opened. Sebastian and Blake walked inside one after the other."Mr. Ballard.""Sebastian." Whitney hastily put down the mirror and pulled Sebastian's hand as she hurried over to the bed. She pointed to the thread of blood on Madeline's face. It was still wriggling, and she said, "Ms. Eddings—""What happened to your face?" Before Whitney could finish, Sebastian noticed the unusual thing on her face."N-Nothing. I'm fine. You should think of a way to wake Ms. Eddings first." Whitney turned away quickly and covered the scarlet mark on her face with her hand."Move your hand." Sebastian took her hand, looking somber. He moved it slowly away from the crimson mark on her face, and he saw that the red mark had expanded from the size of a seed to the size of a bean.Sebastian drew in a sharp intake of breath.
Sebastian hesitated and flung Anthony aside. He strode over to the table and answered the phone. "What is it?""Sebastian! Where are you? Hurry and come to the hospital! Something's happened to Madeline!" Whitney said loudly in an urgent voice."What's wrong with Madeline?" Sebastian frowned. Although Tessa had slapped Madeline hard twice, she hadn't been trying to kill Madeline. If it was just a superficial wound, she shouldn't have been in any danger."I… I can't explain it, but there… there seems to be something on her face. Even Dr. Queen can't figure out what's causing her symptoms," Whitney said. She began sobbing quietly as she spoke.Oh? Sebastian raised an eyebrow, and a feeling of unease rose up in him at once. "Alright, I'll be right there." Sebastian turned and pointed at Anthony. He said to Lyanna and Nina, "Watch him. I'll be back soon.""Yes, my lord!" the two replied simultaneously. "Sebastian, why don't you take my car?" Blake ran after Sebastian when he saw
Maximus stared jealously at Tripp, who was kneeling on a very flat spot. There were even bricks under his knees. It was very comfortable.Maximus was kneeling on a patch of sand and stones. In just a few minutes, his knees had begun bleeding. If he had known this would happen, he would have chosen a better place to kneel. "Get lost!" Sebastian yelled at the hundreds of influential figures at his door.They all jolted in fear and immediately ran back to their cars. They instructed their drivers to leave as fast as they could.Hundreds of luxurious cars sped off, as if they were running for their lives. "Sebastian, it'll be hard for you not to be famous after today," Vince said, sighing softly as he looked at the people kneeling at the entrance.Sebastian smiled slightly and asked, "Would they dare to say anything about what happened today?"Vince paused for a moment and shook his head.Sebastian was right. No matter how bold they were, they would not dare to spread the news.
"Gabe, how dare you kill Warrior League members?" Blake looked up and stared coldly at him. "Hmph! Blake, don't try to accuse me falsely. If you hadn't backed me into a corner, why would I have opposed you?" Gabe gritted his teeth as he stared fixedly at Blake. "No matter what you say, you killed Warrior League apprentices! I hope you don't regret it, Mr. Crawley!" Blake smiled slightly. Gabe had killed two Warrior League apprentices with two slaps. Even if he ran away from Steinberg, he wouldn't be able to escape the wrath of the Warrior League. At this point, Gabe had no choice but to take a gamble. He pointed at Sebastian and Blake and said, "Stop wasting time with talking. Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson. Ballard, come over here!" Sebastian sneered and said, "Gabe, you really like doing things the hard way, don't you?" Sebastian suddenly moved. Gabe felt his eyes blur, and Sebastian rushed toward him like a phantom. That was when Gabe realized that he seemed t
The influential figures behind them were all stirred up by Jayden. Gabe felt as if his heart was about to break. He wasn't taking pity on Sebastian at all! He was genuinely very afraid."Mr. Crawley, if you don't attack soon, I will." Sebastian slowly pulled out his sword."Wait!" Gabe pointed at the sword in Sebastian's hand and said, "When… When you attacked Anthony just now, you weren't aiming to kill him."Although Sebastian had crossed swords with Anthony, he hadn't used his sword for the final move at all. He had just struck Anthony's lower abdomen with the palm of his hand."I still have use for him, but you are of no use at all. People who like bragging despite having no talents are the kind of people I dislike the most. Today, only one of us will stay alive." Sebastian grinned as he walked toward Gabe."Ballard! Don't cross the line!" Gabe's eyes were bloodshot as he spoke through gritted teeth.At this point, he didn't even have the courage to try and escape.No matt
