Chapter 1525

Author: Wendell Mayhew
Anthony had no idea that the black bronze horse was covered with a film of corpse energy because it had been kept in an ancient tomb for far too long.

The glossy black sheen wasn't the color of the bronze. It was because it had been tainted with corpse energy.

"Mr. Laing." Although Jayden had never seen Anthony before, he could tell who it was from his demeanor and from how respectful the elderly men behind him were.

It was obvious that this was the legendary Anthony.

Jayden hadn't expected to be able to see Anthony at all. For someone of his status, he would have been satisfied with just handing his gift over to Anthony so that the latter would know that he existed.

His main purpose of the day was to go to the convenience store and insult Sebastian. He hadn't expected Anthony to be so hospitable and to actually come and greet him personally.

"Please come in, gentlemen," Anthony said, giving his apprentices a pointed look.

Someone came swiftly to take the bronze horse. Althoug

    Besides, it would be even more convenient for Anthony to cause trouble for the Northmans if he were Jayden's mentor. He could use the grudge between the Stallones and the Northmans as an excuse."Mr. Laing! You're like my second father! Please accept my respects!" Jayden could easily adapt to any situation. He understood Anthony's intent and why he had suggested such a thing.He hastily knelt in front of Anthony and groveled to him.Anthony smiled and helped him up. He took out a booklet and said, "You should maintain good relationships with all your fellow apprentices. They're all in here."Anthony had taken in many apprentices, and all of them were wealthy heirs from prestigious families. He hadn't accepted them to pass on his skills. It was merely for the convenience of gathering wealth. Jayden had felt lucky at first, but when he looked at the booklet, he did a double take. There were about one or two hundred names in it.Were they all his fellow apprentices?When Shane saw

    What the bodyguards were most worried about was that Jayden would get some harebrained idea and get into trouble once more.Although the bodyguard was just an employee, he could see very clearly that Anthony had only accepted Jayden and Shane as his apprentices for money. Anthony wouldn't care whether they lived or died.If they went out there and boasted that they were named apprentices, they would get their heads smashed in.One should never show off if one was not equipped to do so. They would be sure to pay the price for it."What would you know?" Jayden glared at the bodyguard and said, "I'm Mr. Laing's apprentice now! Everyone who sees me will have to humble themselves!"He waved the booklet at the bodyguard.The bodyguard wanted to cry. Did Jayden really think that the booklet could be used like some kind of valuable sword?He began to question his employer's intelligence. However, as a bodyguard, he had no choice but to obey. Their black sedan drove straight to the Nor

    "Use violence on you?" Zane shook his head and said, "I won't, but they might! Get these idiots out of here!""Yes!" The Northmans' bodyguards were all retired soldiers who were experts in combat. Besides, they were in the majority, which boosted their confidence.Before Jayden could raise his booklet once again, punches and slaps rained down on him.In the storm of punches and slaps, there were a few kicks thrown in for good measure, which made Jayden scream when they landed.Jayden's bodyguards were beaten up even more harshly. Three of them had several of their ribs broken. Out of the remaining two, one had his leg broken while the other was knocked unconscious. "Damn it! Zane, Theodore, listen to me! When I come back with my fellow apprentices, I'll kill your whole family!" Jayden said viciously as he wiped away the blood gushing out of his nose and spat out two broken teeth. "Mr. Stallone! Give me a hand! My leg is broken!" Shane had been beaten up until he was battered an

    "Mr. Stallone!" A bodyguard hurried over to stop Jayden.However, he was too late. Sebastian had already stood up slowly and was walking toward Jayden."Look carefully! I'm an apprentice of the Caelbane Sect leader now!" Jayden knew that Sebastian had some martial arts skills, so he hastily flashed his booklet at him.Sebastian slapped Jayden without any hesitation."Damn you—"He slapped Jayden again."I'm—"Sebastian cut him off with another slap."I—"There was another resounding slap, followed by another.With every word that Jayden said, Sebastian gave him a generous slap. He slapped him so many times that Jayden saw stars, and his ears were ringing. Sebastian slapped Jayden yet again, and this time, blood trickled out of the corner of Jayden's mouth."Who gave you the guts to come over here and boast? The Caelbane Sect only accepted fools in the past. Do they also accept cripples now?" Sebastian gave Jayden a hard look.He was only trying to teach him a lesson with

    However, Zane's slaps did not have the same effect."He's about to die! However, your 20 slaps actually ended up saving his life, my lord. It is very strange." Lyanna was equally confused.Usually, the appearance of dark energy meant that a person's soul was about to leave the body. It was a sign of impending great misfortune. However, Sebastian's slaps had actually knocked the danger out of Jayden.When Sebastian looked at Jayden once more, he saw the dark energy slowly gathering again. "Jayden seems to have offended someone…" Sebastian said thoughtfully."No. He has offended an expert in the mystic sects, or perhaps the Stallones have done so," Lyanna said impassively."Offended someone from a mystic sect?" Sebastian's brow furrowed. Although Jayden could be rather reckless and did behave like a spoiled heir, would he dare to do anything to someone from a mystic sect?"If I'm not mistaken, someone has probably switched his fortune by force," Lyanna said earnestly.Realiz

    "Why don't you let me keep it for you? If so, you'll be able to avoid the danger," the old man said, grinning.He still looked kindly and genial.However, Sebastian felt more and more repulsed by the old man as he looked at him. "Oh, I could never do that. If it's going to bring danger upon me, it might cause your death." Sebastian's smile disappeared gradually."Young man, you should always listen to those older than you." There was a cold glint in the old man's eyes. "Do you want to educate me on a few things?" Sebastian's expression suddenly darkened. The old man scoffed and said, "Young man, I will come and kill you tonight." He threw his head back in laughter and left the convenience store.Sebastian watched him leave, then looked at Jayden, who was already far off in the distance. "Is Jayden a victim of his mystic arts?" Sebastian asked Lyanna as he pointed at the old man. "My lord, there was something very odd about that man. I couldn't detect the energy of a livin

    Lyanna stuck several paper charms in different directions while summoning the six revenants. Now, all they had to do was wait for the fortune-telling old man's arrival. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, Lyanna saw a paper man standing at the door. "My lord, it's here," she said calmly.She had been facing off against dead people since she became an adult, so the paper man did not scare her at all. Sebastian and Rose both got up, and both their swords gleamed sharply. The paper man knocked on the door for a while before entering the convenience store through the crack in the door.As the paper man entered, seven lights flickered on at once. It was the formation that Lyanna had set up earlier. A sheet of golden light blocked the paper man's path, and it began burning as soon as it stepped into the sheet of light.The paper man scoffed. Its voice was that of the old man."Soul control?" Lyanna frowned slightly.It wasn't mystic arts. Soul control didn't even belong to t

    Only those in medicine or in the art of pill refining were particularly interested in medicine cauldrons. They were useless to shamans and sorcerers. Even if the old man got the medicine cauldron, it wouldn't be of much use. "I'm just helping a friend to get back what was originally his." The old man looked impassively at Sebastian.He felt that Sebastian was already at the end of his tether since he had already broken through Lyanna's formation and trapped the demon slave. Would they come to blows next?The old man couldn't help smiling inwardly. He hadn't even played his trump card yet. Did Sebastian really want to challenge him in martial arts? The old man wouldn't be stupid enough to battle in martial arts against two experts in sword fighting. Only an idiot would do that."Oh? Are you really that confident?" Sebastian smiled.He could see that the old man was holding back on something, and it would be a very tough card. However, Sebastian had his own tricks to play.

    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
