Chapter 1278

Author: Wendell Mayhew
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

    "Hello, Mr. Zohan." Rosalie went up to him quickly and shook hands with him. Paul Zohan glanced at the area Rosalie was in, and he said arrogantly, "Do you want to come and sit at my table?""No it's alright. I just popped in to have a look today. It doesn't matter where I sit." Rosalie declined Paul politely and sat back down next to Sebastian. "We don't seem to be very popular." Sebastian frowned and looked around. Every other area seemed to be better than theirs."Shh, keep your voice down." Rosalie pointed at the tables near the entrance and said, "Did you know that even the people who sit there are worth billions? Anyone who's attending this gala must belong to the upper class of Steinberg. Ordinary people can't even get in." Rosalie was making herself very clear. As part of the younger generation, or a young person who hadn't made a name for themselves yet, they were already being given respect by even being allowed to sit there. At least they were better off than those s

    Dexter and Wyatt were among them. Vince and Zeke were behind Barry Chesterton. All of them were talking and laughing as they headed straight for the round table in the center of the room."Look, that's the chief of police, Chief Weist. I heard that he's been very lucky recently and got himself a big case. Apparently he dealt with more than ten fugitives who were wanted for arrest, and he did it all in one go!" Hayden said, looking rather enviously at Vince. "I heard that Chief Weist is going to be transferred out of Steinberg because of those malicious events that took place recently," a young man in a black jacket like Sebastian's said curiously. Hayden looked rather triumphant as he said, "That's old history. You're not in the city department so you don't know about it, but Chief Weist has been on a roll lately.""Oh? Tell us about it," someone said curiously. "I heard that all 13 of those wanted for arrest were absolute scoundrels, but Chief Weist was right at the forefront

    "I heard my dad talking about it. It's very reliable information," Hayden said, looking very sure of himself."Be quiet." A person at a neighboring table frowned at Hayden, so he had no choice but to shut up. After Larys finished his speech, there was thunderous applause, and they moved on to making toasts. However, these weren't just any toasts. The round table in the center had been blocked off by security, and only a few of the VIP guest tables around them were allowed to go and make toasts there. A few people from the neighboring tables wanted to toast Dexter and Wyatt, but they were blocked by security.Ryder had gone up with his wine glass as well, but when he was stopped by security, he had no choice but to leave with his tail between his legs. "Only those who can go to that table to make a toast can really say they've made it!" Hayden gazed intently at the main table. "It's just a toast, isn't it? How difficult can it be?" Jaxon pulled on his collar and walked towar

    What if Sebastian really was an important figure? Wouldn't Hayden be missing an opportunity if he accidentally offended him?"He's a traditional medicine doctor who currently runs a convenience store. He's a BIG business owner!" Jaxon cut in sarcastically before Sebastian could answer. "You run a convenience store?" Hayden scoffed. "Are you joking, pal? Do you want to go and take Mr. Compton's pulse or are you going to promote nail clippers to him?"Everyone laughed scornfully. "A mere traditional medicine doctor wants to toast the mayor? There must be something wrong with your brain!" "I think he's obsessed with currying favor with him. Doesn't he know that they're from completely different worlds?""That's right! Who is this guy? Who brought him here? He's so out of it!" The women chattered.Rosalie's face burned slightly, and she tugged on Sebastian as she said, "Watch what you're saying. We're becoming the center of attention.""I don't know what to do." Sebastian sighed.

    Jaxon felt like he had swallowed a fly. He looked extremely grim."Larys, it doesn't matter where I sit. Besides, I wouldn't know what to say to all of you." Sebastian stood up and clinked glasses with Larys. The entire table was in a daze, especially the women who had been mocking Sebastian just a while ago. They regretted it deeply. If they'd known how important Sebastian was, they would have tried harder to flatter him.Compared to the boastful Hayden and the pompous Jaxon, Sebastian was clearly a prominent figure who was keeping a very low profile. Sebastian breathed a sigh of relief when Larys returned to the main table. At least they were pretty much done with the toasts. As for Dexter and Wyatt, they were so old that he was sure they wouldn't come over to toast him.Sebastian now felt very pressured, because almost everyone was staring at him. The people at neighboring tables were already beginning to speculate about who he was."Who is that guy?" "I bet he's a wealt

    Bernard, whom Jaxon was so proud of, had bowed to Sebastian and had proposed a toast for him. However, Sebastian had been dismissive of him.Everyone at the table looked at Jaxon with both contempt and compassion.Sebastian's lips barely touched the glass before he put it back on the table. "Alright! Thank you, Mr. Ballard. I'll get going." Bernard returned to the main table. His face had turned bright red."Mr. Lark, was that your uncle?" Hayden looked sympathetically at Jaxon."Your uncle didn't seem to have any plans to drink with you.""Is he really your uncle?""Do he and your dad have the same mother?""Does he dislike you?" Everyone at the table chattered simultaneously, making Jaxon turn bright red. He hung his head, unable to say a word.He hated Sebastian with a vengeance. Without him around, he would have gotten all the glory. He felt that there was only contempt and scorn in Rosalie's eyes when she looked at him. However, just as Jaxon was feeling completely h

    Sebastian suddenly thought of someone. Rose!"Rose?" Sebastian tapped out a message quickly and sent it back, but there was no answer."Let's go home," Sebastian said to Rosalie in a low voice."Oh, okay." Rosalie put down the pastry she was holding and picked up her bag. She left the hall with Sebastian. Seeing that Sebastian had gotten into Rosalie's car, Jaxon sent another message to the bald man. His name was Willie Korne.After Rosalie's car had driven slowly out of the parking lot, Jaxon walked quickly over to his own car and caught up to her. Sebastian and Rosalie would have to pass over a stone bridge on their way back to the Moonlyte Club from the Cosmo Hotel, and the area around the bridge was practically deserted. At night, even the street lights flickered on and off. There were also very few pedestrians at night. Rosalie's car had just driven onto the bridge when a large truck drove over from the end of the bridge. It swung across the road and stopped, blocking

    Although Willie was afraid, he knew what the rules were. Even if he died, he could not betray his employer.Sebastian grinned as he looked at Willie and said, "You're pretty tough, huh? It's alright. Let me help you remember."As soon as he spoke, Sebastian kicked Willie's calf. There was a crack, and Willie screamed and fainted from the pain. Sebastian bent over and took out a silver needle, which he used to prick some of Willie's main acupuncture points. He woke up at once."Do you remember now?" Sebastian asked, smiling broadly."I… I really…" Willie only got halfway through his sentence before Sebastian's silver needle plunged into his pain acupuncture point. He felt an intense pain from deep in his bone marrow, which traveled all over his body instantly.It hurt so much that his voice changed. The more he struggled, the more it hurt, and he fainted a few more times from the pain. Sebastian roused him every single time.Willie finally understood something. The scariest th

    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
