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
"Just because you can't cure it doesn't mean that others can't. You don't represent traditional medicine." Sebastian didn't even deign to look at Percy."Why you—" Percy turned red in the face with anger.He could accept being criticized by Raymond, as the latter was famous, but who did Sebastian think he was? How dare a young man speak to him that way?"I don't want to hear the two of you arguing anymore!" Raymond shook his head impatiently and grabbed Dexter's arm. He got ready to give him the injection."This injection will only make Mr. Coltrane Senior's condition worse. It could even put his life in danger," Sebastian said coldly."What? You're not joking, are you, Sebastian?" Harold looked flustered.Sebastian nodded sternly and said, "This is a matter of life and death. I wouldn't joke about that.""You're an ignorant young man. Do you even know what kind of medicine I'm injecting Mr. Coltrane Senior with? This is JW-5. It's the newest product released internationally to
Sebastian pressed the bag of ice gently on the top of Dexter's head and took out two silver needles, with which he pricked Dexter in the center of his chest and on his lower abdomen.Vital energy flowed through the silver needles and entered Dexter's body. Two clearly visible clouds of dark energy flowed from Dexter's legs up to the top of his head. When the dark energy reached the top of his head, the ice immediately turned black."W-What's… what…" Harold was staring in shock.Beside him, Percy was equally dazed. Once all the ice cubes in the bag of ice had turned black, Sebastian removed it from the top of Dexter's head and plucked out the needles. He plunged the needles into the top of Dexter's head.After more than ten minutes, Dexter's complexion turned rosy once more. As Sebastian's vital energy flowed into his body, Dexter's breathing slowly calmed down, and he finally opened his eyes slightly.Seeing that Dexter was awake, Sebastian pulled out the last silver needle.
Dexter spoke very sincerely.Sebastian tried to decline a few times, but Dexter was insistent. Therefore, he had no choice but to take the small wooden box.When Sebastian accepted the present, Dexter beamed and said, "It isn't a very expensive gift. It's just a VIP card for Coltrane Group. Anyone who has this card can go and spend as much as they like at any of our affiliated establishments. You'll receive VIP treatment, and everything will be free.""Thank you, Mr. Coltrane Senior." Sebastian put the wooden box in his pocket.Dexter had wanted to ask him to stay for a meal, but Sebastian refused firmly.Seeing that Sebastian was determined to leave, Harold and Maeve didn't force him to stay, so they walked with him out of the estate. As they were about to part ways, they exchanged contact numbers.When Sebastian got back to Steinberg, it was already 7:30 pm. He was afraid that Rosalie would be waiting for him, so he called her."Have you finished?" Rosalie's gentle voice came
Rosalie pulled out her phone and said, "I reserved this place this afternoon.""If I want you to change, then do it! Why are you talking so much? Make room!" the man in the blue suit said impatiently."What if I refuse?" Sebastian said, looking very displeased.This was his first candlelit dinner with Rosalie, but the young man had completely ruined the mood. Sebastian was annoyed."Do I look like I care?" the man in the blue suit glared at Sebastian and called to the counter. "Waiter!""How can I help you, sir?" a waiter asked politely."I booked this place. Tell them to get lost!" The man in the blue suit pointed at Sebastian and Rosalie."Can you show us your reservation?" the waiter asked, frowning."What reservation? Why do I need one to come and eat here? Call your manager over here!" the man in the blue suit yelled at the waiter."What's going on?" A potbellied, middle-aged man walked over to them. "I booked this spot this afternoon, but he's insisting that we move,"
"Let go of me right now, damn it!" Larry looked viciously at Sebastian, but the intense pain in his hand made it impossible for him to get off his knees."How dare you hit him? Damn it, don't you know where you are? This is Coltrane Group's—" Sebastian waved a hand and slapped Bruce in the face, cutting him off mid-sentence."That's it! Things are over for you!" Bruce held his face and waved at the security guards.All the security guards surged forward at the same time and raised their batons to hit Sebastian."Sebastian!" Rosalie saw that one of the security guards was about to hit Sebastian on the back of the head with his baton.She grabbed a small fork from the table and got ready to fight.However, just as the baton was about to hit Sebastian on the head, he suddenly moved aside and tripped the man up. It was as if he had eyes in the back of his head.The security guard lost his balance at once and hit Larry in the face instead. Blood immediately flowed out of his nose."
Rosalie burst into laughter. Sebastian was too convincing!"Are you afraid now, you brat? It's too late!" Bruce came up behind them and yelled at Sebastian from a safe distance."Did I say that I was scared? I was just stating a fact. I'm not the one causing trouble, he is," Sebastian said coldly as he pointed at Larry, who was still rolling around on the floor. Trent glanced at Larry and said to Bruce, "What's going on?"Bruce hunched his shoulders, his eyes flicking from side to side."We were having dinner here when he came up to take our seats. This manager told the security guards to come and beat him up. Look at the state of him," Sebastian said, pointing at Larry's bloodied face.Rosalie couldn't help bursting into laughter.Bruce hastily went over to help Larry up. He had been so intent on escaping that he had completely forgotten about Larry and had only thought of him when Sebastian mentioned him."It wasn't like that at all! Mr. Helman booked this seat yesterday, bu
Callum took a deep breath and looked at Bruce, who was supporting Larry. He beckoned to him.Bruce hastily let go of Larry and hurried up to Callum, saying, "Mr. Callum, what can I do for you?"Callum whispered in Bruce's ear and turned to Trent, saying, "The card he has was given to him by Uncle Dexter. Forget about what happened today. Of course, I won't just let you be injured for nothing."He wrote a check for 500 thousand and handed it to Trent."Thank you, Mr. Callum. Thank you." Trent took the check gratefully and left.Callum gave Bruce a meaningful look before leaving in his car."Mr. Helman, you have to get revenge for what happened today," Bruce said as he helped Larry into the car. He was clearly trying to provoke him.Larry looked back hatefully at Sebastian and Rosalie. The young model he had brought with him had escaped earlier. If it weren't for Sebastian, he would be in a hotel room with that young model right now.He looked down at his broken finger and the bl
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
