"I don't care what solution you find. If my sister doesn't wake up, I'll bury the two of you alive!" Micah flung Gregory aside and looked meaningfully at a few of the security guards, who immediately surrounded the Larkins.Gregory knew that he was in trouble this time. He scrambled over to Sebastian's feet and clung to the latter's thigh, saying, "Please, save me! I'm begging you, save me!"Sebastian looked down at Gregory and said, "Your grandson already said that if your Soulreturner pill didn't work, you'd both eat a huge bowl of worms right here. Besides, the Stallones trust you more than they trust me."Micah's heart dropped to his stomach. Did Sebastian mean that he would be able to save Melissa?Micah could no longer bother about maintaining an image. He hurried over to Sebastian and kicked Gregory aside. "Damn it, you old dog, get lost!"Micah said very politely to Sebastian, "Mr. Ballard, please forgive my ignorance. Please don't hold it against me, and please save my
At the very least, Sebastian was much stronger than the Larkins.The Stallones might have a huge family fortune, but they were still wary of those who belonged to the mystic sects.Even though Micah knew that Sebastian was the one who had messed with Melissa from the start, he had no choice but to suppress his anger.However, a hatred for Sebastian had already taken root in him.Micah told himself that there would always be another day. Sooner or later, he would make Sebastian pay twice as much for what he had done.Micah was filled with hatred, but his smile did not betray his emotions as he nodded and said, "Thank you for the warning, Mr. Ballard. I'll remember the favor you did us today." He shot a look at the security guards and said to the Larkins, "You two! Come with me. You're going to eat that bowl of worms today!""Micah! Are we just going to let him go? I… no matter what, I have to get back at him today!" Melissa said, looking unhappy. "Don't be unreasonable, Mel! W
"New World Media?" Sebastian pretended to be shocked. Then he said, "I've never heard of it." Jeremiah had been getting ready to say something that would show his humility, but Sebastian's words made him feel like a bucket of cold water had been emptied over him. He felt cold to the core. "Actually, our company has promoted a lot of top celebrities. It's very well known in the entertainment industry." Jeremiah couldn't resist boasting a little. "That's good." Sebastian laughed dryly."Rosalie, you have such great poise. Even though you've left the Griffin family, I could make you one of the top celebrities in the country within half a year at most. "Perhaps the Griffins will even send someone to ask you to come back. What do you think? Are you interested in joining my company?" Jeremiah asked, his eyes shining as he stared at Rosalie. Jeremiah was the CEO of a media company, and he had had his eye on Rosalie's beauty for a long time. He just hadn't had an opportunity to appr
"Hmph! Would a guy like you be worthy of being here? This is an insult to those of us in the upper class!" Jeremiah yelled angrily.People like Jeremiah brought bodyguards with them wherever they went. As soon as he shouted, his bodyguards and the leader of the security team, Ralph Towne, converged upon them with dozens of others. "What's the matter now, sir?" Ralph turned a hostile glare on Sebastian. Sebastian had just offended the Stallones, and now he had offended Jeremiah. He was just causing trouble here! "What happened? He's trying to lure my girlfriend away right in front of me. If he was flirting with your wife, what would you do?" Sebastian asked, looking coldly at Ralph."He's accusing me groundlessly! I'm friends with this lady and we were just chatting. He hit me without even figuring out what was going on!" Jeremiah roared, pointing to the handprint on his face. "What? Don't talk nonsense. I don't even know you!" Rosalie said with a look of revulsion on her face.
"Don't say I didn't warn you, sir," Ralph huffed coldly. There was an icy flash in his eyes as he waved at the Grandmaster experts beside him.Jeremiah looked triumphant and crossed his arms over his chest, looking scornfully at Sebastian. He was looking forward to watching the show.There was a cold gleam in Sebastian's eyes as his gaze swept over the security guards, Jeremiah, and Jeremiah's bodyguards. "Are you sure you won't regret it?" Ralph scoffed and reached to grab Sebastian's collar.He expected Sebastian to only struggle for a while before submitting at once. He thought he could take Sebastian down easily with just a single move.However, before he touched Sebastian's collar, he felt as if a speeding train had crashed into his chest, and he found himself flying backward helplessly. As Ralph was sent flying, a trail of blood flew through the air behind him. He slammed against a stone pillar before falling heavily to the ground. He had been knocked out cold.When the
"Mr. Gibson, bad news! Our security team got beaten up, and there's a young lady being held hostage!" a security guard in a black suit said to Tripp Gibson, who was sitting in the center of the room.Tripp put down the document he was holding and frowned slightly as he said, "Who would be bold enough to make a fuss at my banquet?"The security guard explained to Tripp about what had happened. After listening, he slammed the table.His temper had improved greatly over the past few years, and many people had forgotten that he wasn't just a businessman; he was also an extremely ruthless man."Who are the people who started this conflict? Have you checked?" Tripp asked grimly."Yes. One of them is Jeremiah Manson, the CEO of New World Media. The other is named Ballard. I heard that he's a consultant of Arctic Snow Group in Steinberg. He probably doesn't come from a prestigious background," the guard answered quickly.At the mention of Sebastian, a young man sitting beside Tripp scoff
"Whitney, I won't pursue this further for Mr. Ryder's sake. However, how can you defend your ex-husband in front of me? Isn't that disrespectful to me as your fiancé?" Jayden asked menacingly.Whitney's pretty face turned frosty. She retorted icily, "Jayden, did I ever agree to marry you? Who are you calling your fiancée? Please show some respect!"Jayden laughed coldly and said, "Ms. Sutton, don't forget that you'd have been kicked out of Frostwave Corporation by now if your mother hadn't agreed to our marriage. Even your current position as vice CEO is only secure because of the influence of my family."Whitney was stunned.Just a day ago, Edna had personally decided to make Ryder the CEO of Frostwave Corporation. As for Whitney, all she would get was an inconsequential position.Things at Frostwave Corporation had turned upside down overnight, and there were mixed feelings about it in the Sutton family.Those led by Morty had all taken Ryder's side at once, and they had immedi
For the past ten years or so, Tripp had slowly faded out of the public eye. He very rarely took part in the conflicts of the underworld, and the various social circles in Sunway had almost forgotten his existence.The truth was that Tripp had used the past ten years or so to legalize all his businesses. He had transformed himself into the chairman of Gibson Group.Despite this, the crowd still gasped at the sound of his name. They were also worried for Sebastian.If Sebastian had only offended someone from the business world, like the Stallones or Jeremiah, the most they could do would be to beat him up. However, Tripp was different. He wouldn't hesitate to murder!"Hmph! Ballard, how dare you disrespect Mr. Gibson? I think you must be tired of life! Kill him!" Jeremiah roared ferociously at his bodyguards. The bodyguards grinned viciously and raised their daggers to stab Sebastian in the chest. They assumed that Sebastian wouldn't dare to resist, as Rosalie was still being held
As they stepped out of the courtyard gate, Samson suddenly turned and lowered his voice as he said to Sebastian, "I didn't treat you and your mother well. Please don't hold it against me."Sebastian felt even more conflicted. After everything he had been through, he knew very well that there were times when one really had no choice. When Samson saw that Sebastian was looking at him with a conflicted expression, he patted him on the shoulder and gave him a warm smile. Then he took a token from Preston and walked out of the yard.They followed Preston as he walked toward the east, where there was a majestic-looking building."Why are you helping me?" Sebastian suddenly turned and asked Andreas in a low voice. Andreas glanced at him and gave him a long, cryptic smile. "Do you think I'm helping you? I'm helping myself while doing so!""Oh?" Sebastian looked at Andreas in confusion, his brow knitted. Even Rexton had mentioned that Andreas was in Arnaud's favor. Why would he need t
When Rexton and the others had gone, Preston turned to look at Samson and said irritatedly, "You little rascal. Would I ever hurt you?"Besides, you've been here in isolation for ten years. Why hasn't your temper changed at all? Couldn't you show me some respect in front of all those people?"Samson glanced at Preston but didn't answer.Preston huffed and ignored him. He turned and looked Sebastian up and down instead."Hey, kiddo. Over ten years have passed in just the blink of an eye. You've probably forgotten me. I even gave you candy back then! Come over here and call me Great Uncle Preston!"Sebastian looked at him in surprise. It was true that he didn't have much of an impression of what had happened over ten years ago. However, he could tell from what Preston had said and done that his attitude toward Sebastian's family was completely different from Rexton and the others.Beside Sebastian, Andreas kept shooting him meaningful looks. Sebastian finally smiled and said, "Hell
Although the old man looked as if he was over 60 years old, his expression was sharp and lively, and his skin was smooth as a baby's. It gave him a youthful air.Even the severely injured apprentices all scrambled up from the ground when they saw him. They hastily bowed and said, "Greetings, Great Uncle Preston!"Even Rexton had no choice but to suppress his anger. He bowed sullenly to the old man and said, "Greetings, Uncle Preston."Preston Ballard glanced at Rexton and turned to shout angrily at the apprentices, "If I hadn't come, were you planning to tear the Ballard Estate apart? Look at all of you! Get out of here right now!"Despite the scolding they had been subjected to, none of them dared to protest. They all lowered their heads and slunk out of the yard. Preston glared angrily at them as they went and snorted. "What an embarrassment to the family!"Then he smiled slightly and looked at Samson and Sebastian as he asked, "Samson, do you have anything to say?"Samson lo
Rexton's pupils constricted, and the muscles in his face twitched. He stared at Samson with a wary look in his eyes. He and Samson were two minor stages apart. It was no laughing matter. If the two of them began to fight, Rexton would be sure to die if he didn't have any external assistance."What's the matter? Are you scared?" Samson sneered as he asked in a cold, accusatory tone. That flipped a switch in Rexton's head. His expression changed instantly, and he turned a fierce look on Samson. "Afraid?" he asked through gritted teeth.As he spoke, Rexton seemed to make up his mind. He slowly reached into his pocket and took out a pale blue paper charm, which looked thicker than usual.The paper charm was oppressive to look at. Sebastian instinctively sensed a threatening energy approaching!Even Samson looked wary when he saw the paper charm."Uncle Rexton, this is a Soulcrush Charm. Great Uncle Arnaud has clearly said that no one in the Ballard Estate is allowed to use spiri
Sebastian immediately felt the pressure around him drop. The feeling of being pinned down disappeared as well."How dare you—"Before Rexton could finish, a shadow flashed past him, and Samson popped up right in front of him.Samson stuck out his finger as if it were a sword and tapped him on the chest. Although Samson hadn't used any strength, Rexton could see the murderous look in his eyes. There was a dot of scarlet light that swirled around Samson's finger. A crimson rune was gradually appearing, and there was a chilling, murderous sensation in the air. Sebastian gasped. He had finally realized how the mystic spells should be used, and he was in awe. It wasn't that Sebastian was unable to do it. It was just that up until then, he had only seen the mystic sect apprentices of the secular world. Perhaps their understanding of how to use mystic spells was too superficial, which was why Sebastian's perception had also been affected.Realization only dawned on him when he saw
At Rexton's roar of fury, everyone turned to look at Samson, who was still standing there quietly without moving."A traitor? Murder?"There was finally a flicker of emotion on Samson's face. A sudden glimmer of light flared in his eyes, which had been devoid of life for a long time."Rexton, you know very well how your father died!"As Samson spoke, he walked toward Rexton with a steady step as he said, "I admit that I've wronged Sebastian and his mother. I was just too soft-hearted back then. That's why I believed your lies and tried to keep the big picture in mind for the Ballards, but look at how you've treated me!"There was suddenly a cold glint in Samson's eyes, and he said in a thunderous tone, "You set up a series of traps and tried to kill and torture my wife and son!"You pursued them until the ends of the earth! If my mentor hadn't rescued Sebastian, do you think he'd still be alive today?"Did you just accuse me of murder? Did you ever think of the fact that we're f
Sebastian felt his blood boiling.Although he had once hated Samson because of how he had kicked Sebastian and Isabella out of the family, Samson was still his flesh and blood!When he saw how Rexton was mocking and humiliating Samson, Sebastian felt extreme fury.However, the restrictive force around him was just too strong. Even though he used every skill he had ever learnt, he still couldn't get out of the Skylock Spell's restriction. He could only watch them be smug and arrogant.At that moment, a young man in the crowd suddenly gave Sebastian a resounding slap and said coldly, "It's been ten years! This day has finally come for you and Samson!"If your mother hadn't caused a huge fuss here, my grandfather would never have died! Today, I am going to let Samson get a taste of what it's like to have a family member die in front of him!"The man suddenly pulled out a three-foot-long sword from behind his back. He thrust it at Sebastian's chest.Sebastian couldn't even move a
"Sebastian, I was only planning to ask you to go and greet the elders," Rexton said. "Since you insist on doing things the hard way, don't blame me for being ruthless!"He put one hand behind his back as he fixed a sinister look on Sebastian. There was a murderous tone in his voice as he spoke once again. "Even if you do have some skills, those basic moves aren't even worth looking at here!"As Rexton finished speaking, several youths from the Ballard family stood in the four main directions, respectively. They were all holding a blue paper charm that even Sebastian had never seen before. They began to form a seal. "Seal off the sky and lock the earth!" the four men boomed simultaneously before tossing the paper charm into the air!In a flash, the four blue paper charms disappeared into thin air. Countless silver bolts of light rushed up to the clouds with the four of them at the center of it!Right after that, the silver bolts of light weaved together to form a huge net. Countle
"Stop talking!" Rexton said angrily, cutting off their discussions. He then turned to look at Sebastian and said, "Sebastian, as a junior member of the family, you should be polite. Since you're back, come with me and greet your elders!"Although Rexton appeared to be giving Sebastian a suggestion, the murderous look in his eyes and his commanding tone wasn't pleasant at all. Sebastian looked coldly at him and the people behind him. He huffed and asked icily, "What if I refuse?""What did you say?" Rexton's eyes turned cold, and he eyed Sebastian with an unpleasant look on his face.Among the people behind him, four men walked out. They stared fixedly at Sebastian, as if he were their sworn enemy. They had also taken up positions in the best spots to attack."Are you going to try to do things by force now? Fine. I'd like to stretch too!" Sebastian crooked a finger at them in a challenge."Where do you think this is? How dare you behave so recklessly here?" one of them yelled a
