Chapter 1270

Author: Wendell Mayhew
The Northmans would only participate in this project as a shareholder. After all, the formula of the new anti-cancer drug belonged to Sebastian, and it would be more appropriate for Arctic Snow Group to be the representative in the collaboration with Astrocorp.

"Alright. I'll get back right now," Sebastian said before hanging up.

"Mr. Ballard, if you have urgent business to attend to, go ahead. Isabel and I will come and visit you tomorrow morning," Marissa said with a smile.

Sebastian and Isabel chatted for a while before he rushed toward the Moonlyte Club.

Astrocorp was a large national enterprise, and it was one of the few companies in the pharmaceutical industry which did both wholesale and retail. Most importantly, they had a share in foreign markets.

When Zane saw Sebastian push the door open and enter the office, he stepped forward and stopped him before saying in a small voice, "Seb, I have to warn you. The person that Astrocorp has sent to sign the contract with us is no

    The elevator shot up to the 18th floor. After walking out of the elevator, the lights immediately dimmed. This did not look like the kind of place to discuss business.In Room 1801, Maddox was together with over a dozen local Steinberg dealers. All of them had women with thick makeup on in their arms as they talked and laughed together.There was an empty seat next to him, and it had clearly been left deliberately for Rosalie.He had chosen to discuss their deal at this location so that he could get Rosalie drunk and have his way with her after that.Maddox couldn't help licking his lips when he thought of Rosalie's gorgeous figure.Before coming to Steinberg, Jace had sent someone to see him. He had also told Maddox about the feud between the Beckards and Sebastian. Maddox was only a manager at Astrocorp. He had never attracted the attention of a prestigious family from Janover like the Beckards.When he heard the news of Stephen being turned into a cripple by Sebastian, Maddo

    Rosalie handed the glass to Sebastian.Sebastian swallowed. When had he agreed to be her boyfriend?Besides, if he drank that glass of brandy, he'd be drunk too. "Do you bring your boyfriend along to discuss business?" Maddox scoffed as he glanced at Sebastian."It's alright. You can go ahead with your discussion. Don't mind me." Sebastian took the glass and set it aside without drinking it. "I happened to bump into my boyfriend at the door, so I asked him to come along," Rosalie lied. "Oh? What's your name? Where do you work?" Maddox asked persistently as he sat down, chuckling. "My name is Sebastian Ballard. I'm currently just a consultant at Arctic Snow Group," Sebastian said and bowed slightly to them all. "Oh, I see that we're dealing with a business run by a couple here. It's not the kind where the woman wears the pants, is it?" the tall and thin men said sarcastically in a provocative manner. "I'm not interested in running a business at all. We all have our talent

    "As long as nobody dies, attack when we have to," Sebastian said to Gavin in a very low voice. Gavin slapped Maddox at once. "You—how dare you slap me?" Maddox had only been focusing on Sebastian and Rosalie. He hadn't noticed Gavin at all."He's licensed to hit people. It's all done according to the law," Sebastian said, pointing at Gavin. "Well, Rosalie! I'll give you one last chance. If you agree to my request now, you'll still make it in time," Maddox said angrily. "Gav, our safety depends on you," Sebastian said, pretending to look scared.Gavin took a deep breath. He was exasperated at Sebastian pretending to be some innocent, besotted lover boy. "Sebastian, don't let Gavin blow this up. The launch of our new anti-cancer drug in Yarroland depends on whether or not this collaboration will happen," Rosalie reminded him in a low voice.She hadn't expected Maddox to ask for something like that. She had planned to stall and call the police on the pretext of going to the t

    "M-Ms. Griffin, let's… let's talk." Maddox had gone pale with fear, and sweat was beading on his forehead.The drug suppliers who had humiliated Sebastian with Maddox didn't even dare to breathe. They looked fearfully at Gavin and Sebastian."Is he really such a good fighter?" Rosalie looked at Gavin in slight surprise.It seemed that Sebastian had foresight. It had been right to bring Gavin along. Sebastian smiled slightly and stood up. He walked slowly over to Maddox and said, "Do you know, I really didn't want to hurt you, but you really don't know how to respect others.""M-Mr. Sebastian… no, Mr. Ballard, I…" Maddox only got halfway through his sentence when Sebastian cut him off with a slap in the face."Who did you say you wanted to kill?" Sebastian asked, looking icily at Maddox. "N-No, I… I was talking nonsense." Maddox was incoherent with fear. "Seb, I think we should forget it," Gavin said automatically. After all, Maddox was different from those thugs, and Rosalie

    All Maddox would have to do was send the video to headquarters. Not only would the collaboration between Arctic Snow Group and Astrocorp be over, the latter would even blacklist all Arctic Snow Group's products.Maddox pulled out his phone and sent Jace a message at once. He then said to his confidantes, "I'm not a petty guy, but Ballard just went too far! How about this? You send the video of what happened just now over to headquarters. We'll just wait in Steinberg for good news from them.""Alright, I'll do it right now." The tall and thin man got up quickly and headed outside. …Meanwhile, after Rosalie had sent Gavin back to the Moonlyte Club, she started the engine once more and headed right for the Coltranes' mall."I have clothes, don't I? Why do I need to buy more?" Sebastian said, looking at the Ytalian hand-made suit he was wearing. They had just bought this a few days ago! Its workmanship and material would be more than appropriate for the event."This is a busine

    "Jaxon Lark?" Rosalie turned and looked at the man in the blue suit in surprise."It's been a while, Rosalie," Jaxon said. He stretched out his arms, as if he was getting ready to give her a hug."It's been a while indeed." Rosalie hastily stuck her hand out to shake hands with him and maintain a safe distance.Jaxon had no choice but to shake hands with her awkwardly."Aren't you doing business abroad, Mr. Lark? What are you doing in Sartvale?" Rosalie asked, frowning.The Larks were involved in international trade and the supermarket business. They were wealthy even by Janover standards. Jaxon had had a crush on Rosalie since middle school. He had been sent abroad to study in his second year of high school, and ended up staying on to build his career there."My family asked me to come back and help out. We're planning to open a big mall in Sartvale soon, as well as a few franchised supermarkets, so I gave up the opportunities I had there and came back to help," Jaxon said rat

    Tears rolled down Rosalie's cheeks as she spoke.Sebastian was flabbergasted. What was going on?""Last night? I didn't sleep with you last night," Sebastian said, looking wronged."Then it must have been the day before yesterday. We slept together that night."Sebastian was rendered speechless by what Rosalie had said. The day before yesterday, he really had slept with Rosalie because she had forcefully requested him to do so.Jaxon was furious as he stood there and listened to Rosalie and Sebastian bickering back and forth like a couple!"Rosalie must be blind! How could she have feelings for a petty, ungrateful guy like you?" Jaxon said angrily. He had turned pale with fury and was pointing at Sebastian. He wasn't angry because Sebastian had been unfaithful. He was angry that a guy like that had slept with his dream woman!When he'd heard Rosalie say so, Jaxon felt as if he'd been struck by lightning. He would have liked nothing better than to kill Sebastian to vent his hat

    Jaxon turned and walked down the escalator. As Rosalie watched him leave, she burst into laughter. Sebastian rolled his eyes at her and said, "You are such a drama queen. Don't you think that was much too convincing?"Rosalie giggled and said, "Who said that I was acting? I did sleep with you.""I…" Sebastian could not think of anything to say to her. He felt dizzy and regretted making an impulsive decision at the time."We were sleeping together fully clothed!" he protested."Did you want to take my clothes off?" Rosalie looked fearfully at Sebastian.Sebastian was rendered speechless. He rolled his eyes but could not think of anything to say. Women, particularly smart women, would always have the advantage morally."Let's go, handsome. Let's eat." Rosalie took Sebastian's arm. Even the shop assistants in the neighboring shops were dumbstruck. Either Sebastian was much too charismatic, or Rosalie was a very good actress. They watched the two of them take the escalator do

    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

    Sebastian threw his head back in laughter. He strode forward, standing in the center of the hall, and said coldly. "Ungrateful? How could you have the audacity to say such a thing?"Even if I'm surrounded by enemies, you Ballards can forget about making me submit! It's just death, after all. If I even blink, then I won't call myself a man!"Everyone there stared at Sebastian."How dare that brat be so cocky? If he's not punished, it'll be a disgrace to our family rules!""He should be given the death penalty!""It'll be a disaster if we just let him be, and it'll only bring trouble for our family. Please give the order, and we'll kill him at once!"The entire hall was in an uproar. Even Preston, who had been speaking up for Sebastian and Samson, sighed in resignation.Since Sebastian had already made his stance clear, Preston couldn't help even if he wanted to.Sebastian had roused the anger of everyone there, and Arnaud had closed his eyes and wasn't saying anything. He was cl

    Sebastian was just about to step forward when Samson hastily waved a hand at him and said, "Sebastian, the grudges of the Ballard family from over ten years ago have nothing to do with you. Don't get involved!""But—"Sebastian's gaze sharpened as he turned to look at Milton. There was an icy glint in his eyes. Samson shook his head slightly at Sebastian. The Ballard Estate had at least ten experts at the eighth level of the Eldoria realm. At Sebastian's current level, trying to fight them would only bring him big trouble."Sebastian, one must learn how to adapt to the situation," Samson whispered into his ear using voice projection. "Today, I will exchange my legs for your and Whitney's freedom. Think of it as a payment for what I owe you and your mother."Sebastian clenched his fists tightly. He hated himself for being too weak. He couldn't even protect his own family in a place like the Ballard Estate, where many experts were gathered.However, he would never allow anyone to

    "Do you accept it, Samson?" Arnaud asked harshly when he saw that Preston hadn't said anything else. He turned to look directly at Samson.Samson smiled bitterly and turned to look at Sebastian before raising his head to look at Arnaud, who was sitting high above them. He said, "Uncle Arnaud, I was the reason for everything that happened. I wish to ask you not to trouble Sebastian.""What are you talking about?" Preston was agitated. He stood up again and yelled, "There must still be an investigation about who was right and who was wrong. Why should they break your legs?"As he spoke, his eyes blazed with fury. He looked at the thin old man and said furiously, "Milton, you old bastard! How can you be so shameless at your age? Tell me! Did you embellish the story to Arnaud?""Uncle Preston!" Samson stopped him quickly and sighed slightly. "Forget it. It's my fault for bringing such huge trouble upon our family back then."I admit that I have let our family down. Since imprisoning m

    As the man in the black robe yelled, the entire hall fell silent at once. The thin old man threw the black-robed old man a disgruntled look, but he returned obediently to his seat.Once the noise had died down, Preston stepped forward and swept an icy gaze over the crowd who were present. "You call yourself the elders of the family?"The monument of our ancestral dragon is right in front of you. How could you bully two young members of the family in front of it? Don't you feel any shame?"Besides, how dare you speak before Arnaud does?"After the harsh scolding they received from Preston, no one in the crowd dared to protest. Sebastian nodded involuntarily. It appeared that Preston did have influence in the Ballard family. At least no one had interrupted his scolding, including Arnaud and the man in the black robe.Preston huffed angrily and bowed to Arnaud, who sat in the middle. "Arnaud, I've brought Samson and Sebastian!"Preston went over to the chair next to the black-robe

    "Sebastian, I won't be going in. Remember, don't say anything without being spoken to, and don't be impulsive!" Andreas said softly in Sebastian's ear when they reached the door to the hall. He then walked over to the crowd, which was packed on both sides of the hall.Samson and Preston walked into the hall without any change in expression. Sebastian hesitated for a moment before hurrying to catch up.When they reached the entrance, the two old men reached out to stop them and said to Preston, who was in the lead, "Preston, I'm afraid that it wouldn't be a good idea for you to go in. Everyone knows that you're biased toward Samson's family. If you get into an argument with Arnaud, then—""Nonsense!" Preston yelled furiously. He spoke in a menacing tone to the two old men. "Don't try those tricks with me. Today, I'm going to be the voice of reason. Who among you can do anything to me?"With that, he pushed them aside and strode into the hall.The two old men gazed after his ret

    The Ballard Estate's resources were unfathomable as it was. Could Isabella's family be even more powerful than theirs?Sebastian clearly remembered that both he and Samson were under the Sacred Medicine Society. They even had the same mentor.The Sacred Medicine Society was above all the other mystic martial arts sects. Even the sect leaders of the Nine Sects were very respectful toward his mentor.If Samson really was from the same sect as Sebastian, then his mentor had clearly been unable to save him. Wouldn't that mean that the Sacred Medicine Society was no match for the Ballards?Wouldn't that mean that Isabella's family was an even greater entity?"If my mother's family is really that powerful, why couldn't they rescue my father? There would also be no reason to let me join the Sacred Medicine Society either, right?" Sebastian asked probingly. It seemed as if Andreas had never even thought about such questions. He smiled and shook his head. "You probably don't know about a
