Chapter 1046

Penulis: Wendell Mayhew
Sebastian was no longer the man who used to avoid conflict. Too many things had changed recently, and it had made him realize something.

There were some people who would take a mile if you gave them an inch. They would treat kindness as a reason to act recklessly!

Rosalie nodded slightly and smiled as she said, "By the way, Grandpa called yesterday and asked me to attend a business gathering in Sunway as a representative of the Griffins. Can you come with me to buy an evening gown?"

Sebastian had no choice but to assent when he saw Rosalie's pleading look.

On the way, he had to stop by the sanatorium to mix up some medicinal potions for Wyatt and his old comrades, so Rosalie and Sebastian didn't go straight to Sunway. Instead, they both went to a mall in Steinberg.

The mall was one of the most important properties in Steinberg that belonged to the Coltranes, and Callum had focused most of his energies on that mall.

After it was renovated, they had also brought in several interna

    "Why should I?" Rosalie smiled at the woman, remaining perfectly calm. "Because my name is Melissa Stallone, and I want that gown," the woman said arrogantly.When she said her name, she looked contemptuously at them."You're a Sunway Stallone?" Sebastian frowned and looked at Melissa again.Harold had once mentioned some gossip about Sunway's upper class to Sebastian. The Stallones were well known because the younger generation of their family were movers and shakers.However, those who were often mentioned were Jayden and his younger brother, Micah Stallone. There was also the aforementioned Hugh Jones, as well as Chad Murdoch. Chad was the son of Andrew Murdoch, known to be the richest man. There was also Xavier Walker, who was known for being the most talented man.As for Micah, he was known in Sunway for his talent in business. He was young, but he had already been in business for some time, and he had a wide circle of friends. He was showing potential to take charge of h

    "Stop right there! I want that gown! Give it to me!" Melissa dared not make trouble for Sebastian, so she turned and shouted at the sales assistant instead. "I'm very sorry, miss. This gentleman and lady saw it first," the sales assistant said very politely.The sales assistant didn't care who Melissa was. There was an order for everything, and Rosalie clearly suited the gown much more than Melissa did.There were only 50 of these gowns in the entire world. Letting Melissa wear it would be a disgrace to Carmen's piece."Them? They're a couple of losers. Can he afford it?" Melissa pointed at Sebastian.Sebastian frowned slightly. Melissa was much too arrogant. Did she think the Stallones were the only family with money in the world? Did she think that they were the richest people in the world?Sebastian pulled out his bank card from his pocket. It contained the profit dividends from the Arctic Snow Mask over the past few months, as well as the consultation fees he had received.

    It wasn't that the Coltranes thought that Melissa was important. It was only because Melissa's father had been Shauna's high school classmate, which was why Shauna had given her a VIP priority access shopping card.The Coltranes had given out about 1000 of these cards, and the one Melissa had was just one of them."What a joke! I didn't hear you wrongly, did I? A priority shopping card? Why don't you just call it a discount card?" Rosalie said mockingly.Melissa's face twitched. She desperately wanted to go up to Rosalie and disfigure her.However, she suppressed the urge. If they came to blows, her bodyguards were no match for Sebastian at all. She was half a head shorter than Rosalie, which already put her at a great disadvantage in terms of height."Tell her that the Coltranes' mall has this rule!" she shouted angrily at the sales assistant.The sales assistant was slightly startled, and she nodded quickly and said, "The rule does exist."Cards like those weren't used very of

    Callum almost wet himself with fright. He didn't even look up as he said reverentially, "Mr. Ballard, you're a very humorous person. When you go to any of the Coltranes' establishments, you'll be treated as the highest VIP. You don't need a card."A card? What idiot would ask someone like Sebastian for a card?Damn it! He would have to investigate the incident and fire whoever it was."Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Coltrane. May I leave now?" Sebastian said to the sales assistant, smiling."Of course." The sales assistant had gone pale with fright. If even Callum had to show him respect, how could they say no?"What about my VIP card, then? I want that gown too! You must give me a satisfactory explanation!" Melissa was furious.When Callum showed respect to Sebastian, she clearly saw the sales assistants looking scornfully at her.She was determined to get the gown no matter what. Even if she didn't wear it, she wouldn't let Rosalie buy it."Miss, we have many other gowns he

    Rosalie had always put up a strong front, but inwardly, she was just a woman who wanted to be protected by someone who could shelter her from the storms.At the moment, Sebastian was the man who could give her that feeling of safety.After leaving the mall, Rosalie headed straight for Sunway with Sebastian. She had been planning to attend the banquet at Lune Tower that night alone, but Sebastian's words had left a deep impression on her. She wanted everyone in the world to know that Sebastian was the man she had chosen.Those in attendance at the banquet that night were all prominent figures in Sartvale from various fields, including politics and business. Every year in the winter months, Sartvale's General Chamber of Commerce would hold a similar banquet. Its primary purpose was for people to mingle. The banquet was being held at the largest conference hall in Lune Tower.The hall was more than ten thousand square feet in size, and there were many wealthy heirs and heiresses w

    Melissa spoke arrogantly.Sebastian scoffed, "You? Who can you represent? You can only represent yourself. How dare a shrew like you say that you have status and influence? It's ridiculous!""You—" Melissa's expression changed slightly. She had been rendered speechless by Sebastian. "Your older brother Micah is fairly well-known, but as his younger sister, you really have no class at all! Haven't you completely humiliated Micah already?" Sebastian said, sneering. On the way to Lune Tower, Rosalie had told Sebastian about Micah, which was why he had some impression of him."How dare you say that I—" Sebastian interrupted her and said, "You have a big face, a flat chest, and short legs. Physiognomically speaking, you're the kind of person who will bring bad luck to your husband!""By the way, did you have a nose job? You got your chin done too, didn't you? Look at your legs! Let everyone have a look at it. Doesn't it look like two carrots stuck in the floor?"The crowd around

    "Is there anything else, Ms. Stallone?" Sebastian asked, smiling."You must apologize to me! I don't care who you are! If you don't apologize, I guarantee that you won't be able to leave this hall tonight!"Melissa really was furious this time. She had been humiliated by Sebastian in front of so many people. If she didn't get back at him, how could she continue to hold her head up high in the upper class of Sunway?"Ms. Stallone, are you insane? Why should I apologize to you?" Sebastian asked, frowning."You're the one who's crazy! I'll say it again! Apologize to me at once!" Melissa screamed shrilly."I'd like to see what you'll do to me if I don't apologize to you." Sebastian looked coldly at her.His patience was limited. Sebastian could not believe Melissa! He had no idea where she got her sense of superiority from. She acted as if she were the queen and that everyone's life had to revolve around her."If you don't apologize, I guarantee that you'll die a painful death!" A m

    "Cut that crap! I… I'm fine! Why would my stomach hurt?""Really?" Sebastian's lips curved upward, and he said calmly, "Not only can I tell that your stomach hurts, I can even tell you that after one minute, you'll feel like you're suffocating and that you feel really hot. You might even start taking your clothes off.""I advise you to go home, Ms. Stallone. It's getting late, and your mother wants you home for dinner," Sebastian said, grinning."Shut up!" Melissa's eyes were bulging in anger. Why was he making predictions for her? Did he really think he was an expert?Before Melissa could retort, she felt a suffocating feeling in her chest. Within three seconds, she began to have difficulty breathing.Right after that, an indescribable feeling of heat assailed her, and she felt as if she was wrapped in flames. Her gown became drenched with sweat at once, and she could feel a wet patch on both her chest and lower body.Micah was shocked to see her, and he looked warily at Sebasti

    Whitney perked up at Sebastian's question. "It's all because you ran into the two monsters that day," she said. "I saw it on the surveillance footage. That was when I realized that the two women living in the store don't have that kind of relationship with you…"Whitney had never asked, and Sebastian hadn't bothered to explain who Nina and Lyanna were. That was why she had mistakenly thought that both of them were Sebastian's lovers as well.Realization had only dawned on her when she heard Nina address Sebastian as her master, even in her dying breath. Whitney had seen how powerful Nina was that day and how she had been willing to die in order to protect Sebastian.Nina and Lyanna weren't Sebastian's lovers. They were his servants. Not only that, Nina was a thousand-year-old giant snake!That had completely changed Whitney's view of the world. Although there had always been legends of mystical beings and ghosts, Whitney was an accomplished businesswoman who believed firmly in sc

    Sebastian laughed wryly and shook his head. "I'm not from the Ballard Estate," he said. "My name is Sebastian, and it's better if my cousin weren't seen around me too much.""Oh, you're Sebastian."The two young women breathed a long sigh of relief. They looked him up and down for a long time before exchanging a glance. Then, they covered their faces and giggled.One of them stepped forward and said, "Come with me. Honestly… you seem pretty normal. I don't get why Ms. Sutton is yearning for you so much."Sebastian cleared his throat awkwardly and said nothing.The young woman led Sebastian into the house, where Whitney was sitting and reading a book intently. She said, "Ms. Sutton, look who's here."Whitney put down her book and looked up. When she saw Sebastian behind the young woman, she was both surprised and delighted. She got up and threw herself into Sebastian's arms."Sebastian, is it really you?"The young woman covered her face and chuckled before leaving the room sile

    Sebastian watched Andreas leave and exhaled deeply. Preston wasn't the only one he didn't trust. No one in the Ballard Estate was worthy of his trust, including Andreas.Once Andreas had completely disappeared, Sebastian beckoned to the woods in the distance and said, "Come out!"In a flash, Duo appeared at his side. "My lord, why didn't you wipe out those people in the hall today?" he asked.Duo clenched his fists tightly, and there was a murderous look simmering in his eyes. Although he hadn't been in the hall, he had clearly heard everything the Ballards had said.Anyone who disrespected his master deserved death!Besides, neither Sebastian nor Duo would have had to lift a finger to kill them. All they had to do was to crush the Tribulation Avoidance Charm and trigger the divine tribulation. Once it descended, no one in the hall would have lived to tell the tale, including Arnaud."If we become hostile with the Ballards, it'll be almost impossible for us to leave in peace. Now

    "It all comes back to Uncle Samson," Andreas said. "Great Uncle Arnaud already told you he'd let Uncle Samson have his freedom if you find the other emerald token, but then he brought up the marriage alliance. "It directly affects whether or not Uncle Samson can regain his freedom. So, why don't you think about it?"With a quiet chuckle, Andreas walked toward a grove of peach trees to the west.Realization finally dawned on Sebastian. Arnaud was a shrewd man. He wouldn't slip up like that. Besides, although the Ballards and the Yeomans had established a marriage agreement, they hadn't named specific individuals, only that the Blessed Child of the Ballards would fulfill it.The Blessed Child bore the duty of guiding the Ballards to revival. In other words, the emerald token would be better off falling into the Blessed Child's hands rather than anyone else's.Could it be that the final emerald token was with the Yeomans? If that were true, why hadn't the Ballards used their pow

    "I'm sorry, but I have no interest in becoming the head of the Ballard family," Sebastian said impassively. "I only want my father to be freed."Arnaud's expression changed slightly, but his tone remained neutral as he said, "It's Braxton who owes you and your mother, not the entire family. Why must you do this?"Sebastian let out a cold snort. It was true that Braxton had been the one who had kicked them out, but weren't the true culprits the elders of the Ballard Estate?"If there's nothing else, I'd like to see Whitney," Sebastian said, rising slowly to his feet. As soon as he mentioned her name, Arnaud waved a hand at him and said, "Don't be in such a rush, Sebastian. Whitney is safe. The Ballards would never harm a frail woman."He added, "However, there's something I want to ask you. Is Whitney still your wife?"Sebastian frowned. "Whether she is or isn't, what business is that of the Ballards?""Of course it is," Arnaud replied firmly. "The Ballards and the Yeomans of

    Arnaud led Sebastian into a secret room deep within the Hall of the Ancestral Dragon. Once inside, Sebastian saw a Cosmic Orbit Diagram. It was exactly the same as the records in the Sacred Medicine Secret Annals.However, the Ballards' Cosmic Orbit Diagram was divided into different sections. It looked even more three-dimensional."This is the Cosmic Orbit Diagram passed down through our family for generations," Arnaud said proudly. "The one that the Sacred Medicine Society has is just a copy."The legacy of the mystic arts in Dramon almost all came from the Ballards.The Ballards had withheld some things back then as well. As a result, all the legacies of the various secular sects only had incomplete Cosmic Orbit Diagrams. It was why there were very few experts at the fifth level of the Eldoria realm and above.Afterward, Arnaud led Sebastian into a library. Thousands of technical legacies lined the shelves. Sebastian flipped through them. The techniques recorded there were

    Samson glanced at Sebastian. He took a deep breath and said to Arnaud, "Thank you for sparing me, Uncle Arnaud."He gave Sebastian a few final reminders before leaving the hall with Preston.Once they were gone, Arnaud pointed at Duo and said to Sebastian, "Tell him to leave too."Sebastian waved a hand at Duo."I'll wait for you at the entrance, my lord," Duo said. "If anything happens, I'll be here as soon as you call!"He gave Arnaud a cold look before striding out of the hall.Arnaud watched him leave and smiled approvingly. He beckoned to Sebastian. "Come, sit!"Sebastian didn't hesitate. He crossed the hall and sat in the chair opposite Arnaud."Do you know why I asked Andreas to bring you back here?" Arnaud asked impassively. Sebastian shook his head expressionlessly. He said in a cold voice, "It's probably because of the emerald token in my father's possession."Apart from using him and Whitney as leverage against Samson, he couldn't think of any other reason.Arnau

    "The Blessed Child! The Blessed Child has finally come to our family!"The black-robed old man who had been sitting beside Arnaud stood up, looking pleased. He couldn't hide his excitement as he turned to Arnaud and said, "Arnaud, our family is going to prosper!"Only Rexton and Milton looked extremely displeased. Braxton and Roland looked pained, as if they had lost something of great value. They were practically thumping their chests in regret!The Blessed Child had been foretold by one of the heads of the family centuries ago. No matter how far the Ballards declined, the prophecy said that after a few hundred years, a Blessed Child would appear—someone who could lead the family's revival!The only proof of the Blessed Child was for him to enter a master-servant oath with a Devora."Prosper? What a joke!" Hugo scoffed, holding Virtus firmly. "Weren't you all just clamoring about killing the two of them?"At Hugo's words, Arnaud's expression changed slightly. "When did I say tha

    "Hugo!"Arnaud, who had been sitting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them wide. He eyed Hugo with a conflicted expression as he asked, "Have you forgotten the agreement the Thornes made with us ten years ago?"Hugo smiled coldly and put one hand behind his back. "That was the agreement you made with the Thornes. I'm only following Ms. Thorne's orders to protect Samson and find the emerald token. If Samson dies in this battle, how am I supposed to explain that to her?"He pointed at Sebastian and added, "He's Ms. Thorne's flesh and blood. Your family has no right to punish him! If the Ballards insist on killing them today, don't blame me for going on a killing spree!"When Hugo had finished, Sebastian finally realized that Hugo was from Isabella's family and that he had stayed at the Ballard Estate to protect Samson.It was clear that Isabella hadn't held a grudge toward Samson. In fact, she had sent an expert to stay behind to protect him in case anything happened.Arnaud's
