Chapter 1589

Author: Wendell Mayhew
As soon as Zane spoke, both Cassian and Joel frowned almost simultaneously.

The Northmans resided in Sartvale, and their financial power was only moderate compared to the main pharmaceutical families. Joel and Cassian hadn't expected Zane to bid four billion, which was a very high price!

Even though both of their families had huge reserves of money, most of it was tied up in real estate or in their company factories and buildings. They didn't have four billion or more in liquid funds.

3.5 billion was the limit of what the Windsors could afford. If they used up all their liquid funds in one go, the consequences would be dire.

The atmosphere thickened, but the doors to the venue suddenly opened. A slender figure walked in with four bodyguards.

Everyone turned to look at the figure almost simultaneously.

It was a gorgeous woman who was about 23 or 24 years old. She confidently strode into the venue.

"Rosalie?" Cassian and Sebastian called out her name almost at the same time.

    Although Sebastian had lowered his voice as much as he could, the venue was so quiet that one could have heard a pin drop. Everyone heard what he had said very clearly.Cassian had heard it as well!He had almost exploded with anger when he saw Sebastian stroke the hair of the woman of his dreams. Rosalie had even started whispering with him."Hey, who gave you the right to slander Mr. Callahan?" Cassian slammed his hand on the table and shot to his feet as he pointed at Sebastian. He said in a loud and accusing voice, "Even the Crane Sage has looked at it and said that Mr. Callahan has refined a premium pill! How could a young guy like you say that the pill Mr. Callahan has refined is useless? Aren't you afraid that you'll have to eat your words?"Godfrey had been staring at Sebastian from the stage, and his expression turned menacing at once. He took a step forward and looked sharply at Sebastian as he said, "Young man, you should watch what you say! What evidence do you have t

    "Cassian, you—" Rosalie hadn't expected Cassian to intervene. Her brow furrowed in anger."Rosalie, I know that we're childhood friends, but this friend of yours is just too arrogant. I won't talk about his family background, but he actually insulted Mr. Callahan in front of everyone. That's unforgivable—"Sebastian laughed softly and cut Cassian off. "Tend to your garden, and let the wind caress the leaves."Cassian frowned and asked coldly, "What do you mean by that?""None of your business!" Everyone in the venue burst out laughing. The line that Sebastian had quoted was from a poem written by the younger sister of Sharento, who was a famous poet. It was about someone who was a busybody.It was a famous poem, and it was very surprising that Cassian, who was the heir of a prestigious family, hadn't recognized it and had even asked about it in front of everyone.Cassian turned red with embarrassment. He gritted his teeth and stared at Sebastian as he said, "You can talk unti

    Godfrey looked menacingly at Sebastian and said, "You don't have any proof for what you said! Proof! Can you show us the proof? How can you say that my Life Prolonging pill is useless? You won't be able to convince anyone with that one-sided statement."Sebastian laughed coldly. He pointed at the golden pill and asked, "Are you unhappy about the fact that I said it's a useless pill? Fine. Since you want to be humiliated in front of everyone, there's no reason for me to try and spare your dignity."Sebastian clasped his hands behind his back and began to explain himself in great detail."Firstly, there are only 21 medicinal herbs in the formula of a Life Prolonging pill, but you've put more than 100 medicinal herbs in this one, haven't you?"You think that this is a successful merging of the art of pill refining and that it can increase the rate of success for your pill, but you've forgotten something. The more types of medicines there are, the less refined their flavor will be. The

    Sebastian said impassively, "I wouldn't dare to presume such a thing. However, at least my pills wouldn't hurt anyone."Godfrey looked even more grim. He clenched his teeth and said fiercely, "Fine! Very good! Since you're so confident, would you dare to come to the Fate Sect tomorrow at noon? I'll prepare everything you need, and we can talk about pills. What do you think?"Zane could no longer sit still. He hurried up and said to Sebastian in a low voice, "Mr. Ballard, you must not agree to his request. I think that Mr. Callahan must have something up his sleeve."Meet him at the Fate Sect? He was clearly planning on setting up a trap for Sebastian to murder him. They would be surrounded by the members of the Fate Sect if they went. Could Sebastian really escape unharmed? Even if Godfrey did not try to cause trouble for him, would the apprentices of the Fate Sect be lenient?Rosalie tugged gently at Sebastian's clothes and said in a small voice, "Sebastian, refuse him."Sebast

    "Let's go home. It's not worth wasting time on a useless pill." Sebastian ignored Godfrey, who looked ready to shoot out fire from his eyes. He turned around and pulled Rosalie along with him as he strode outside.Cassian watched as Sebastian held his dream woman's arm and was about to be led out by him His chest heaved with anger, and he was trembling as he walked up to Godfrey and said, "Mr. Callahan, if you can help me deal with that young man tomorrow, I'll pay you an extra 200 million!" Cassian tossed his bank card to the staff member standing beside them.Zane saw that things were getting messy, so he got up quickly and followed Sebastian out of the venue. When they reached the entrance, he asked awkwardly, "Mr. Ballard, you aren't really going to go tomorrow, are you?"Sebastian nodded and said, "Of course I am. A man should always keep his word. Why wouldn't I go?""But—""There are no buts. It's not like the Fate Sect can eat me." Sebastian smiled at Zane. He pulled R

    Meanwhile, at the Griffin estate in Sunway, Wyatt's phone suddenly rang twice. When he saw that it was a secret report, he immediately put his teacup down and began to scroll through his messages."Oh no!" Wyatt exclaimed. He handed the phone to Cillian and Oliver."There's a change in the Warrior League headquarters?" Cillian frowned, and a glint appeared in his eyes."It's not just the attitude of the Warrior League headquarters. Even the three top swordsmen of the Gladius Sect have come personally to support Ethan. That means that the Gladius Sect are making their stance clear to all the mystic martial arts sects," Wyatt said somberly. The Gladius sect was the founding sect of all the Nine Orders, Eighteen Principles and Thirty-Six Sects that focused on swords.Although they were not as distinguished as the Sacred Medicine Society, they were still very important among the mystic martial arts sects!The Gladius Sect wasn't a single sect. It represented the Warriors of a certai

    "How dare the Warrior League try to control the candidate for the Martial Arts Association chairman for the state? You've already lost the hearts of everyone. Why are you still being so stubborn, Cillian?" the voice asked. Cillian's expression darkened at once. "Swordster, you know very well who is behind Sword Towers! Whether it's the Dragon Sect or the Sanguis Cult, they are all foreign powers. "They are the enemy of Dramon! You are publicly standing against the whole of Dramon! Aren't you afraid that you will end up losing your integrity?" Cillian demanded.Trafford Polene, known as Swordster, was one of the three top swordsmen of the Gladius Sect who had rushed to Sartvale. It was rumored that 15 years ago, he had already broken through the Celestial realm and attained the skill of a Martial Sage. Compared to the current standards for practitioners of the Way of Wisdom, the Swordster was also a top expert in the foundation phase.Someone as experienced as he was could not

    Cillian thought that Sebastian saw the Nine Sects as just common sects, like Sword Towers, as he did not seem concerned at all."Sebastian, you may not know how powerful the Nine Sects are because you haven't had much experience in the world. They are the Nine Sects of the mystic martial arts sects, they're—" He was about to persuade Sebastian to give up on the martial battle when Sebastian cut him off and said, "Mr. Shields Senior, the Nine Sects aren't worth mentioning at all. Since they want to forget their roots, I won't mind teaching them a lesson again."Sebastian's expression remained impassive. Although he hadn't been trying to imply anything, Cillian, Wyatt, and Oliver all caught on to what he had said and frowned.Teach them a lesson again? What did Sebastian mean by that?The three old men looked at each other doubtfully.Sebastian was so young. Had he challenged the Nine Sects before?That was impossible! It couldn't be!If he had, why would Sebastian still be hi

    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
