Chapter 123

Author: Wendell Mayhew
It was just that Theresa had indeed gone a bit too far with her words just now. She never said that her three-year marriage to Sebastian was a stain on her life.

Sebastian's gaze was frosty as he let out a mocking chuckle.

"Ms. Sutton, if there's anything you need to tell me in the future, please just tell it to me directly. There's no need for you to trouble your best friend to humiliate me," he said.

"Sebastian… It was all just a misunderstanding…" Whitney started, desperate to explain herself, but she was cut off by Sebastian's scoff.

He then deliberately turned to look at Theresa before locking eyes with Whitney again.

The meaning behind his look was clear.

How could this possibly be a misunderstanding?

Did she really want him to believe that everything Theresa said was of her own accord?

"Ms. Sutton, I've never wanted to fight with you, but if you keep forcing my hand, I will not hesitate to retaliate," he informed her coldly.

Whitney paled at that, and Theresa walked

    Theresa was extremely excited.Anyone who could develop a prescription like this must be an absolute genius!If this prescription was discovered by research institutions abroad, it would certainly create an uproar in the medical world!Whitney looked embarrassed and wondered if she should tell Theresa the truth. After all, Theresa had just insulted Sebastian to his face half an hour ago at the cabaret.What would Theresa think if she knew that Sebastian was the one who had made this prescription?After hesitating for a while, Whitney smiled lightly. "It's nothing. This prescription was made through the joint efforts of the research department at my company."Theresa was disappointed when she heard this. It had been a collaborative effort, then. However, it was enough to prove that Whitney's research team was outstanding. "Theresa, is there anything wrong with the prescription?" Whitney was more concerned about that. This prescription had to be used with Sebastian's acupunctur

    "I believe in you! Keep it up!"Rosalie ran off without knowing whether or not Sebastian had heard her.Sebastian turned in surprise. He smiled exasperatedly as he watched the car's tail lights recede into the distance. Compared to Whitney, Rosalie was a lot more naive and endearing. Besides, she reminded him of how unconditionally Whitney had trusted in him three years ago. Sebastian exhaled, feeling like his mind was crowded with thoughts. As he was bored, he thought of what Whitney had accused him of that morning. After some thought, he opened Twitter and searched for the account "Aloof Snow". It was definitely Rosalie.She had more than 100 thousand followers, which was a pretty high number.She didn't update much, and there were only about four or five tweets in total. They were mostly pictures of herself that she'd taken while traveling, and all the comments below were from beautiful women. The most recent tweet was about the "Arctic Snow Mask", and it had been post

    Very soon, his tweet began trending, boosted by an invisible burst of power. It wasn't Sebastian's intention, but unfortunately, Crestborne Good Doctors was a very popular topic. There was also someone making mischief behind the scenes, which pushed the tweet to the top three trends.It created a huge amount of discussion. At the same time, Fergus was sitting in a private room at a nightclub. There was raucous music and gyrating, pretty girls. He was surrounded by his drinking buddies. He was holding his phone with an evil smirk on his face, looking satisfied at how successful his scheme had been. He sent a message to a Twitter user. "Good work! Continue creating buzz for this, and make sure to tarnish Sebastian's name!"He then added, "Also, make sure to elevate the image of Whitney as an independent female CEO! I have a few photos here. One is of Whitney looking like a strong, independent woman, and the other is of Sebastian flirting around with other women after abandoni

    The next morning, Sebastian rose early and started work. Suddenly, there was the loud roar of a car engine.A Porsche 911 drove up. Rosalie got out of the car. She was dressed in casual sportswear and looked youthful and attractive."What are you doing here?" Sebastian asked, his brow furrowed.Rosalie laughed. "I'm here because I want to see you about something.""What is it?" Sebastian asked. "The first round of the district competition is going to start next week. There will be people from Crestborne Good Doctors recording the entire thing. How are things going with you? Do you need me to help you arrange your order of appearance?"For this sort of competition, especially if it was a recording for a TV show, the order of appearance was very important.It would directly influence the marks given by the mentors. Sebastian didn't really mind. He was drawing a protective charm while fiddling with his mirror of symbols. He said absently, "It doesn't matter which order I a

    Roberto frowned slightly. He opened his mouth and said, "The contest rules do not state that contestants aren't allowed to formulate their own prescription. "However, Ms. Griffin, if Sebastian insists on formulating his own description, then our mentors will be even more strict in their evaluation and scoring. "I hope that you can let Sebastian know about this, and that he won't be too self-assured. He shouldn't dream about becoming popular overnight."Traditional medicine emphasizes focused research. Don't try to attract attention and popularity like they do in the entertainment industry," he warned. This was sound advice from Roberto.Roberto approved of Sebastian's skills in medicine, but he didn't agree with what Sebastian was planning to do.It was very dangerous to formulate one's own prescription in a professional competition like this one. Firstly, the prescription had to be approved by the mentors. Secondly, the efficacy of the prescription had to be stronger than t

    When Sebastian saw this, he said impassively, "Please get up, Mr. Tuffin. Have some tea. It's calming."Howard got up when he heard this. He picked up the teacup from the table and downed it in one gulp.Once he'd had the cup of tea, the hot sensation and nervousness he'd been feeling disappeared at once.Then Sebastian took out the protective charm he'd drawn and handed it to Howard. He said, "Keep this protective charm with you at all times. It'll keep you safe.""Protective charm? Is it useful?" Howard took the protective charm, his expression changing. Sebastian explained, "If you trust me, Mr. Tuffin, then take it with you wherever you go. If you don't believe me, then take this brocade box back."When he heard this, Howard hurriedly smiled humbly and said, "Of course I believe you, Dr. Ballard! I'll get going, then."Sebastian nodded and watched Howard leave. Then he said, "Mr. Tuffin, for the next few days, you'd better stay in Steinberg. Your ophryon is looking rather d

    Sebastian hurried to the bathroom to take a shower. Then he walked out and opened the door to the shop to take a deep breath of the fresh air outside.It felt amazing!"My mentor left a lot of ancient medical practices, ancient medical prescriptions, ancient mystic arts, and rare books of martial arts. I can try learning them now," Sebastian thought to himself. Suddenly, his phone rang.He looked at it and saw that Hans was calling."Dr. Ballard, do you have time today? Can you take a look at my wife?" Hans asked respectfully.Sebastian smiled lightly. "Yes.""That's great. I'll come and pick you up right now," Hans said excitedly.Sebastian replied, "Okay."After 20 minutes, Hans drove up in his Range Rover and picked Sebastian up.When they reached Hans' villa, Sebastian got out, and his brow furrowed at once. The villa was covered in a gray layer of cursed energy. "What's the matter, Dr. Ballard?" Hans asked nervously when he saw Sebastian standing there without movin

    "Dr. Ballard, what do you want these for? Can they be used for treatment?" Hans asked doubtfully. Sebastian nodded and said, "Mr. Wagner, your wife isn't sick. The problem is your villa.""Villa? What do you mean?" Hans was even more confused. Sebastian explained, "When I was outside, I realized that the geomantic location of your villa isn't very good. There's also a thin layer of cursed energy enveloping it."The cursed energy is strongest in your wife's bedroom! This energy has strongly affected your wife's health, and there's a gray cast on the area under her eyes. That's why you haven't had children for so many years."Look, it's noon right now, and sunshine is coming straight into the bedroom, but it doesn't feel warm at all. It even feels kind of chilly."He asked, "Mr. Wagner, didn't you find it strange after so many years?"Hans was startled. He was a little tongue-tied as he said, "Well… to be honest, Dr. Ballard, I did consult an expert to check this out. He said th

    "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
