Chapter 1419

Penulis: Wendell Mayhew
Ryder looked blissful as he imagined it, and there was a spring in his step. He greeted several strangers and raised his glass at them.

"Mr. Sutton, I heard that you've managed to gain the favor of someone important recently. If you have a chance to prosper, don't hog it for yourself! As we're all members of this Chamber of Commerce, we should take care of each other." Someone went up to greet Ryder.

Ryder nodded triumphantly and said, "Of course! If there's a chance to make money, I'll be sure to think of all of you."

Whitney watched as Ryder laughed and chatted animatedly, and she pulled at Sebastian and said in a low voice, "Look. There's Ryder."

Sebastian smiled and patted her hand to reassure her.

While Sebastian was talking about medicine with Eddie and the others, Ryder caught sight of him and Whitney. At the same time, Sebastian turned to look at him.

Their eyes met, and Sebastian's lips curved up slightly. He raised his wine glass, as if he were greeting Ryder.

    "Mr. Sutton, what would you need to say to people like them? Mercy toward them is cruelty toward yourself," the middle-aged man said as he cast a cold glance at Sebastian.Among wealthy businessmen like them, a mere traditional medicine doctor who had married into the Sutton family had no right to attend a banquet like this.Even being in the same place with someone of Sebastian's status was an insult to them!"I'll give you three seconds. Get out of here right now!" Ryder yelled, pointing at Sebastian.Seeing that Ryder was actually angry, several people looked at Sebastian with interest. They seemed to be waiting for him to humiliate himself.Whitney bit her lip nervously and maintained a tight grip on Sebastian's arm. She was extremely nervous.Even Dexter, who had been the highest authority in Sunway, was not worthy of mention among the prominent figures who were in attendance here.Would they really be able to leave safely?However, even if they were going to die, she want

    It wasn't that they didn't want to speak up for Sebastian. It was just that they had only been members of the Chamber of Commerce for a couple of years, and they had no authority to speak at all.Besides, the middle-aged man who had objected was one of the most important people in the Chamber of Commerce, and they couldn't afford to offend him at all. Therefore, they could only choose to remain silent.Sebastian scoffed, and his cold gaze swept over the people who had spoken. "If I have the guts to hit him, I have no problem hitting you. I advise you not to meddle in these affairs. You don't have the ability to do so. Don't end up regretting this."Everyone was immediately furious.Sebastian was only a traditional medicine doctor! How dare he speak so boldly in front of them?"Sebastian, who do you think you are? How dare you hit me here?" Ryder yelled, his voice echoing in the hall. "Security! Are you all dead? Damn it! Break the legs of this asshole! Toss him downstairs!"At Ry

    "Mr. Ballard, things were very rushed the last time we met. I didn't have time to say goodbye to you properly. Since you're here, let's catch up inside," Brett said in a genteel manner.Sebastian shrugged and pulled Whitney along with him. While everyone watched them, they walked into a small lounge with Brett. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Ballard. Ryder deserves to die for offending you in front of so many people, but I can't punish him on the spot for the sake of our family's reputation in the Sartzade Chamber of Commerce. Please understand," Brett said to Sebastian as soon as they sat down. The middle-aged man who had gotten his head smashed in was one of the Dunhills' men, which was why Brett could deal with him as he pleased. However, Ryder was not, so Brett had kept to his boundaries. A slap was neither too harsh nor too lenient. He had expressed the stance of the Dunhills while not being too overbearing."It doesn't matter. He's going to die sooner or later, so letting him live

    Sebastian opened the folder. It was filled with yellowed pages containing newspaper cuttings almost 100 years old. Fragments of information were also included. Every single one was related to a Yutarian sword sect called the Divine Swords."Mr. Ballard, decades ago, the Divine Swords engaged in several huge battles with a mysterious sect in Dramon," Brett explained. "That sect is the Sacred Medicine Society, which everyone in the Nine Orders, Eighteen Principles and Thirty-Six Sects is afraid of." He handed another folder to Sebastian. It was a photocopied document that had clearly been stolen from a historical archive. Several decades ago, Sebastian's mentor had once battled against Eduardo, the head of the Divine Swords, in Yutaria. However, the two of them had reached a tie. "The old sect leader of the Sacred Medicine Society is one of the greatest authorities of the mystic martial arts sects in Dramon. A person that even he cannot defeat must be terrifying. "Bianca is on

    The feud between the Dunhills and the Beckards was no secret, and the members of the Chamber of Commerce were split into two sides. One side supported the Dunhills, while the other supported the Beckards.This was the first time that there had been an open conflict between them, so each side was eager to see who was stronger."Mr. Dunhill, this has nothing to do with you. You'd better keep quiet, or you'll only embarrass yourself more," Jace said smugly.The men he brought were Supreme Grandmaster level experts. He didn't think anything of the Dunhill bodyguards, which was why Jace was bold enough to insult Brett in front of Sebastian."You—" Brett pointed at Jace, pale with anger. However, there was nothing he could do.He was no match for Jace in a fight, and the Beckards' power was now equal to that of the Dunhills. "Hmph! Move aside, or I'll deal with you today as well!" Jace pushed Brett aside roughly and walked over to Sebastian.He looked him up and down and sneered. "Se

    The onlookers stared at Jace and Sebastian in a daze. Had the high and mighty Beckard heir just gotten slapped in the face by a traditional medicine doctor?"How dare you slap me in front of everyone?" Jace was instantly furious. His eyes were bulging out of their sockets, and he raised his fist to punch Sebastian.However, even the experts he had brought along were no match for Sebastian. Sebastian ignored Jace's punch. He slapped Jace in the face again, leaving a stark handprint on his pale skin. "So what if I hit you?" Jace retreated hastily, but no matter how much he tried to dodge, he was slapped again and again. "You—" Another slap hit him."I—" Slaps rained down on him.Sebastian slapped Jace more than 30 times, leaving the latter somewhat dazed.He couldn't understand why he was unable to dodge Sebastian's slaps. It was as if there was a magnetic force between Sebastian's hand and his cheek that drew them inexorably together.In the end, as soon as Sebastian raise

    The martial arts experts couldn't hurt Sebastian at all. Anyone who hung around would just be bringing trouble upon themselves!Jace had just lowered his head and was planning on slinking out of the crowd, when a strong hand pulled him back."Why are you in such a rush to leave, Mr. Beckard?" Sebastian asked impassively."Sebastian, don't get smug! If you make me angry—" Before he could finish, Sebastian slapped him. He spat out a mouthful of blood with several teeth."Apologize to Brett!" Sebastian pointed in Brett's direction."Ptui! Even if I die, I will never apologize to any of the Dunhills! If you have the guts to do so, then kill me right now in front of everyone!" Jace yelled, looking crazed."Jace, I came here today to settle the score with you! Since you seem to be so brave, then I'll fulfill your request!" Sebastian said. He raised his foot and kicked Jace in the calf.There was a crack, and both Jace's legs broke. White bone pierced through his pants; it hurt so much

    Ryder nodded instinctively. Fear filled his heart. Sebastian was far more frightening than he had ever imagined."There's something I need to warn you about. Frostwave Corporation was never yours to begin with. If you are greedy, you'll only end up bringing trouble upon yourself, and you'll end up dead. I'm sure you know that. "If you still don't understand, then think of Jace. I'm sure everything will become clear to you," Sebastian said coldly as he gave Ryder a gentle pat on the shoulder."Y-Y-Yes, you're right, Mr. Ballard. I… I'll leave Steinberg right now—no, I'll book a ticket straight away and get back to Bretania overnight. I'll never come back to Dramon for as long as I live. As for Frostwave Corporation, I will never covet it again."Ryder took out the transfer agreement that he had forced Trey to sign and held it out to Sebastian, trembling. "This is the deed to the pharmaceutical factory. I will present it back to you."Sebastian looked down at the trembling Ryder an

    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

    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
