"Everything's fine with Mr. Gromer, Ms. Griffin. We came because we have a request to make. We're wondering if you and Mr. Ballard will agree," Walter said, smiling obsequiously. Rosalie frowned and studied Walter for a while. She pointed at the chair opposite her and said, "Sit down and say whatever you have to say." After the three men had sat down, they smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Ms. Griffin, our hospital does have the ability to make a profit. It's just a pity that we don't have an exceptional team of doctors. "If… I'm saying if… Mr. Ballard could occasionally come and do consultations at our hospital amidst his busy schedule, I'm sure it will make our hospital more well-known."Besides, our hospital can pioneer a traditional medicine apartment. Mr. Ballard will only need to come and give some directions once in a while. I'm certain that our hospital will be able to create the best team of doctors in Steinberg."By the time Walter finished, Rosalie's forehead was tigh
"The acupuncture point that made Mr. Shields Senior wake up," Aaron said eagerly."You mean the Nine Ultimate Needles? Of course. However, it won't be convenient to do so here, will it?" Sebastian refused politely. It wasn't that Sebastian didn't want to teach him. It was just that the true essence of the Nine Ultimate Needles was transferring energy with needles.Aaron was an ordinary person with no martial arts skills. He didn't even have a smidgen of vital energy in his body. Even if Sebastian taught him step by step, Aaron wouldn't be able to achieve even one-thousandth of the Nine Ultimate Needles' effects."That's not a problem. Before we left this morning, there was a patient with an unusual condition who came for a consultation. If it's convenient for you, we can go back right now. The patient is probably still there," Aaron said, looking at Sebastian with his eyes gleaming.He wanted nothing more than to learn Sebastian's acupuncture technique instantly. He didn't care
"Unfortunately, Mr. Ballard has gone out," Rosalie said firmly as her gaze swept over Madeline.Sebastian had gone out?Isabel glanced at her watch. It was only 8:30 am. "Well… did he say when he was coming back?" She persisted. "Um…" Rosalie frowned as she looked up at Isabel.She instinctively felt guarded around Isabel, especially after how affectionate she had been with Sebastian when they signed the contract. This had made Rosalie even more wary of her. "Ms. Griffin, please don't misunderstand. Developing a good relationship with the World Medical Association is going to bring great benefits to the projects of both our companies."I heard that you and Astrocorp got into a bit of a conflict recently, which is why it's affected the launch of Arctic Snow Group and Northstar Pharma's new joint anti-cancer drug project in Yarroland. "However, with the World Medicine Association's support, it'll be more than 100 times better than even ten Astrocorps. Besides, the Arctic Snow
News spread about Sebastian, who was known as the miracle doctor who had joined the traditional medicine competition. The fact that he was personally doing consultations at St. James Hospital brought countless patients in Steinberg flocking to the hospital, and it was so packed at the entrance that it was almost impossible to get in.As everyone stood in line, waiting eagerly to get their pulse checked by Sebastian, an elongated black Rolls-Royce suddenly appeared at the entrance.Several foreign men got out of the car and surrounded a fair, tall, and beautiful foreign woman as they walked into the hospital together.It was Madeline.After entering through the main doors of St. James Hospital, she headed straight for the packed traditional medicine clinic. When she got to the door, she made a point of taking off her sunglasses as she looked in Sebastian's direction.When she was sure that Sebastian was at the hospital, she took a number and started waiting in line with the oth
Aaron himself didn't believe that Sebastian had only learned traditional medicine for three years. Even if this was true, he had countless ways to persuade himself not to believe it.It would be too much of a blow, especially to his fragile soul. "How can a person diagnose a condition based just on looking? Mr. Sorne never mentioned that," Madeline said, looking curiously at Aaron.She felt that Aaron was also a pretty good young traditional medicine doctor. She assumed that he would know about consultations that were based just on observation.Aaron was amused. It wasn't that Edison didn't want to mention it. It was just that he didn't know how to do it either.Observing one's energy wasn't an easy feat. Otherwise, the traditional medicine industry wouldn't have a saying about how those who could diagnose a condition based on observation were like a god. "About this, it would be better to ask Dr. Ballard. To be honest, I don't know how to do it either." Aaron really didn't wan
The young man who had brought his friend in hesitated when he heard what the foreigners had to say."You can decide if you want him to get an operation or if you want me to treat him." Sebastian stopped when he saw the young man's hesitation.Only those who were trusted could heal. The prerequisite for treating someone using traditional medicine was that the patient had to trust the doctor. Otherwise, the doctor would refuse treatment. It was one of the rules of the industry."Are you crazy? You don't even have any equipment for sterilization!" Clyde exclaimed urgently.Sebastian ignored him and waited for the young man to answer."I trust you, Dr. Ballard. Will my friend be able to stand up again?" the young man asked after hesitating for at least a minute. He had made up his mind."Yes!" Sebastian said. He pierced the three-foot-long golden needle through the back of the patient's neck until the tip of the needle appeared from his coccyx. Sebastian began transferring vital ener
"You'll die like this!" One of the Yutarians slashed at Sebastian's neck. Madeline screamed, closing her eyes in fear. Sebastian was only a doctor. He was nowhere as solidly built as the Yutarian was. The slash came out of nowhere, and Sebastian seemed dazed with fright. He stood there without moving. Aaron looked at the Yutarian man as if he were an idiot. Had he really just raised his machete to slash at Sebastian? Even a laser wouldn't necessarily be able to hit Sebastian. When it came to medical skills, Sebastian was probably the best that Aaron had ever seen. However, when it came to agility, Sebastian was undoubtedly the most amazing person Aaron had seen in his entire life. No one could compare.Just as the knife was about to touch Sebastian's neck, he suddenly disappeared. The short and pudgy Yutarian was startled. He thought he'd seen a ghost. Before he could recover, Sebastian slapped him on his back.Sebastian had only used one-tenth of his strength, so th
Therefore, Sebastian wanted to provoke the people behind them to anger by making them die a tragic death. After that he was hoping that they would reveal their targets.Sebastian glanced coldly at the Yutarians and gestured for Zane to call the emergency room in the modern medicine department.After all, the hospital had to go on operating as usual. They couldn't let the Yutarian scum die in the traditional medicine consultation room.However, by the time the medical staff arrived, the Yutarians had already been tormented beyond belief. Even speaking took a great effort on their part, and they could only be carried off on stretchers by the medical staff.The truth was that even the most advanced medical techniques in the emergency room would be unable to save them."I didn't think you knew martial arts too, Dr. Ballard!" Madeline looked excited as she waved her hands around to emphasize her point."I guess you can say I know a bit about it," Sebastian said very modestly. He had
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
