The Amazing Doctor Chapter 1220
Dexter had only just sat down when the host walked onto the stage and said loudly, "To all our respected friends and guests. The auction will now officially begin."The audience burst into a roar of applause, and Sebastian clapped along obligingly once or twice."Now, let us welcome the first item for auction today. The King's Son."As soon as the host had finished, a young lady opened a red wooden box. She took out a rolled-up painting from inside and spread it out in front of everyone."Oh, it really does have the authentic flair of Basil!""How exquisite!""As expected of a master's work!"The crowd cried out in surprise. The appearance of the painting had pushed the auction to its climax."Starting at 20 million!""30 million!""35 million!""36 million!"The bids rang out among the audience. Dexter frowned and said to Emmanuel, "Mr. Carthen, how much do you think this painting is worth?"Emmanuel leaned back in his seat, looking triumphant as he said, "I think this pa

Sebastian finally couldn't resist laughing. He stood up and said, "That's the most ridiculous joke I've heard this year.""You little—" The plump middle-aged man and Emmanuel both glared huffily at Sebastian. "Sebastian, you said that this painting is worthless, but what evidence do you have?" Dexter asked, smiling. "Mr. Coltrane Senior, 'The King's Son' isn't done by Basil at all. It was painted by Dorian Worcester. Besides, the religion of Astralix only began to grow in popularity during the Tannin era, and 'The King's Son' depicts a scene from the Astralix scriptures," Sebastian said, smiling.Sebastian's voice wasn't loud, but every word seemed to hammer upon the hearts of those who were listening. He grinned as he looked at Emmanuel and said, "Mr. Carthen, this is basic general knowledge. How could you not know that when you've been studying antiques for such a long time?"Emmanuel turned bright red and looked away, not daring to look at Sebastian.The fat man clenched h

Sebastian only smiled gratefully at Dexter, but he stayed silent."205 thousand going thrice. Sold! Congratulations to this gentleman on bidding successfully for this 'Spring Mountains' painting at 205 thousand dollars!""What a bargain!""He's really got himself a deal!""You're so lucky, young man. No one tried to compete with you!"The audience began heckling at once. Everyone knew that the painting wasn't even worth five thousand. Sebastian didn't argue with them. He walked quickly up to the stage and handed his bank card to the cashier. While everyone looked on, he ripped out the painting. "Sebastian!" Dexter wanted to stop him, but he was too late."Hmph. What's the use in regretting it now? Even if he tears it to pieces, he'll still have to pay," Emmanuel said sarcastically."Oh, young man, even if you realized that you got a fake item doesn't mean you can do that! After all, you might meet someone even more ignorant than you are.""Yeah! Even if you get 30 thousand
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 1223
100million had just disappeared like that."I think that you were just lucky. Who would've thought that the frame was the items with value?" Emmanuel protested. "Aren't you supposed to be an expert? Why don't you know that the royal family is accustomed to using thousand-year-old rippled wood as frames?" Sebastian said, chuckling."You—" Emmanuel was so angry that he almost vomited blood. "Let's look at the third auction item! It is the Prime Minister's seal from the Tannin era! The starting price is 800 thousand, and every additional bid must be at least ten thousand! Let the bidding begin!"With Emmanuel's help, Dexter had received a few auction items that were fairly valuable, but Sebastian's keen eye had verified all of them as forgeries.Emmanuel had turned red and no longer had any desire to stay around. He had completely humiliated himself that day.Everyone around them was full of praise for Sebastian's ability to appraise antiques. There were even a few antique sho

"What? Ten million!""Is a Fade Dill worth that much?""I think the two of them are just fighting!""The organizer has the advantage here!"A buzz of conversation rose in the crowd."20 million!" Jace said loudly as he raised his sign.He grinned in a provocative manner. "25 million!" Sebastian said calmly."50 million!" The crowd was shocked into silence by Jace."100 million!" Dexter said quietly."Oh!" the crowd cried out. Even the host on the stage was so surprised that his jaw dropped.Emmanuel looked at Dexter in confusion. He couldn't understand. A hundred-year-old toadstool wasn't worth that amount at all, and yet Dexter was willing to give 100 million to compete for it.Jace was equally shocked. He knew Dexter, although the latter had no idea who he was.He had never imagined that Dexter would also want the hundred-year-old toadstool and had even bid twice the amount that Jace had offered.He felt rather nervous and sensed that he might have landed himself in ho

Now that Sebastian had the hundred-year-old toadstool, Rosalie and Rose would recover from their injuries in no time. Sebastian watched the rain outside the car window, which was pouring down in sheets. After he left the Coeur Hotel, it began raining heavily.Sebastian flagged down a cab and headed straight back to Steinberg.…A few days later, Rosalie and Rose were as good as new, just as he had expected.After Gavin's continued attempts at persuasion, Rose finally agreed to join the Security Department.In less than half a month, the Security Department had gained a powerful member. Gavin was so pleased that he was grinning from ear to ear.Even Cillian praised him extravagantly after hearing about it. After all, Rose was a top assassin at the Supreme Grandmaster level. With her on their side, the capabilities of Gavin's team had risen by several levels in an instant!That morning, Sebastian saw that Rosalie was looking glum. He asked in confusion, "Rosalie, what's the ma

"Mr. Zane got his legs broken?" Rosalie asked in disbelief.Sebastian nodded slightly and said, "Yes. Mr. Northman wouldn't have been out of contact for the past couple of days otherwise.""I'll go with you," Rosalie said urgently.After all, she and Zane had become friends over the time they'd spent together. Now that something so big had happened to him, she was also very worried."Rosalie, I don't think you should go. There are so many important things related to Moonlyte Club and the company. I'll go alone," Sebastian said, his brow furrowed.Arctic Snow Group had taken on a big task. If it weren't for the fact that Whitney was helping them supervise their collaboration with the army at the pharmaceutical factory, Rosalie would find it difficult to manage everything.Seeing that Sebastian was firm with his decision, Rosalie had no choice but to agree."I'll go with you, Mr. Ballard.""Me too."Gavin and Rose both stood up. "Mr. Ballard, if the Sanguis Cult does something

"A traditional medicine department? Yes. We currently have about two or three old traditional medicine doctors." It had taken Dennis a while to answer. He had forgotten whether or not the hospital had a traditional medicine department.Traditional medicine had been on the decline for years, and the costs for herbal medicinal draughts and pills, as well as treatments, were so low that they could barely make any money off it. He had considered closing the department down countless times."Can you ask them to bring some halite and warm water?" Sebastian asked, his brow furrowed.Dennis wanted to say that he had no idea whether or not they had any halite, but he did not dare to do so in front of Theodore. He had no choice but to smile and say, "Please wait a moment. I'll call them and ask."Before long, a nurse came in with halite and a basin of water. "Dr. Lornman, here are the things you wanted.""Don't give them to me. Give them to him." Dennis pointed quickly at Sebastian."Leave

"Isabella, our son is all grown up now," Samson whispered. "I wonder when our family can reunite…"His eyes misted over."Is Mom really in the Holy Grandia?" Sebastian's voice suddenly came from behind him. Samson hastily wiped away the tears in the corners of his eyes. He turned to look at Sebastian and exhaled as he smiled bitterly. "I don't know either," he replied. "After I kicked you and your mother out of the family back then, I was brought here. From that day on, this little area became my whole world."Hugo had been the one who had brought him the news of Isabella attacking the Ballard Estate with experts from the Thorne family. In the end, the condition of the truce between the Ballards and the Thornes was that Hugo would be allowed to stay at the Ballard Estate and ensure Samson's safety.Apart from that, Samson had no other news of Isabella. Sebastian walked over and sat down in the chair opposite Samson. He picked up the teapot and poured a cup of fragrant tea f

Sebastian exhaled softly and pointed at the technique he had just handed to Whitney. He said, "If you can memorize this technique within three days, I can teach you."The technique Sebastian had given her was a basic introduction to the martial arts. It was also a basic technique for mystic arts practitioners, but it would let someone of Whitney's disposition become a sage even more quickly.That meant that Whitney had the advantage over ordinary Warriors. It was Sebastian's final favor to her."Alright! I'll recite it to you tomorrow morning!" Whitney said firmly, clenching her fists tightly. Sebastian smiled and nodded. He stood up and said, "It's getting late. You should get to bed soon. I'll get going now."Upon seeing that Sebastian was leaving, Whitney got up quickly and grabbed hold of him. "Can't you stay?" she asked.After their divorce, Whitney had never spent any time alone with Sebastian. Even at the convenience store, Rosalie had always been with them.It was a r

Whitney smiled bitterly, but tears spilled down her cheeks. She said to Sebastian, her voice choking up with emotion, "I see that I was in the wrong all along. But… but it wasn't that I didn't trust you, it's just that—"Sebastian took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gave it to her. He said calmly, "Actually, you were just blinded by the false fame and power of the world."In your heart, you feel that only money can prove a person's worth. In terms of wealth, I'm just a lazy and complacent dolt when compared with those so-called successful people."Sebastian's words seemed to cut Whitney like a knife. It wasn't all her fault. After all, historically, most people used money to measure the success of a person. Otherwise, why would there be the saying of how no one remembered the poor, but everyone showed up for the rich?"The truth is that all those wealthy heirs are worth even less than a dog to the Warriors and the mystic sects. "I don't fight with the people of the worl

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
