The Amazing Doctor Chapter 1609
"You're very confident, I see," Sebastian remarked, looking coldly at Ethan.Ethan scoffed, his expression cold and menacing. "You'll soon find out why I'm so confident."Sebastian's gaze swept impassively over him before he glanced at the high-ranking members of the Steinberg Martial Arts Association. Turning to Liam and Gavin, he said, "Let's go."Both Liam and Gavin were utterly confused. They couldn't understand why Sebastian had shown up even though he hadn't had any intention of attending the banquet."Mr. Ballard, can you explain what you were doing?" Gavin couldn't help asking once they were in the car."Liam, you're not going to ask the same question, are you?" Sebastian pulled out a cigarette and placed it between his fingers. He didn't light it and just stared impassively out through the car window. Liam frowned and said thoughtfully, "Seb, I was looking closely at them. There didn't seem to be any sign of the Sword Zealot and the Sword Fiend in the crowd. "Not all

Sebastian heard Whitney crying out, and he hurriedly turned to help her up."Sebastian… I'm alright," Whitney said. "I just moved too quickly, and it tugged at the wound. I'm fine."Although Sebastian had dressed her wound, she had still been severely injured by Terence's attack. Full recovery would take time. "I'm going out to take care of some business, and I'll be back right away. Lyanna and Nina will take care of you. You mustn't pull at the wound again. If your natural energy is damaged, it won't be easy to deal with," Sebastian instructed gently as he helped Whitney to sit down.Whitney looked up at him and said, "But I have an interview this afternoon to hire someone to manage the pharmaceutical factory. I can't just skip it. "The pharmaceutical factory has stopped operations for quite a few days already, and the deadline for our new batch of products is approaching. We can't delay a single day more."Sebastian took a deep breath and said thoughtfully, "It's alright. You

Although Sebastian and Godfrey had had their differences, Godfrey was still a man of status. It would not befit his position to cause trouble for Sebastian or to pick on him.After a moment, Sebastian was led to the main doors of the hall. There was a massive statue erected in the small courtyard outside it.Sebastian looked up at it. The words "The Modern God of Medicine" were written in huge letters on the plaque in front of it.Sebastian almost laughed out loud when he saw it. The statue was of his mentor, the current sect leader of the Sacred Medicine Society. There were already more than ten Warriors gathered in the great hall. Almost all of them were looking at Sebastian, who was standing outside the doors. Sebastian had become the center of attention instantly. Several Warriors who had traveled from other states looked rather puzzled. Was the young man standing in front of them the one who was going to battle against Godfrey in pill refining that day?At that moment, G

"If I fail to keep my word, I will meet the same fate as that vessel!" Sebastian declared. His voice wasn't loud, but he had injected vital energy into it. Even the crowd on the plaza at the front of the mountain heard him clearly.Those who had witnessed the copper censer explode were completely dumbstruck with fear by what they had seen.Everything Sebastian had said and done seemed rather familiar to the crowd. It seemed to resemble someone they knew! However, no one wanted to mention the name of that person, and no one was brave enough to make wild guesses. That person was a legend among the mystic martial arts sects. He was also the only person who had the legacy of the Sacred Medicine Society, and no one from the Nine Sects could hold their heads up high in front of him!Godfrey, who was in the great hall, felt his pupils constrict. He was filled with fear when he saw the shattered copper censer, but he forced himself to maintain a calm expression. Any martial arts exper

Branson and Kody, like their nicknames, were crazy about swords. From a distance, they didn't resemble ordinary men but rather unsheathed swords. The murderous energy emanating from them filled the atmosphere, making one feel as if they were teetering on the edge of an abyss. At that moment, someone among those who were following Godfrey recognized Branson and Kody at once. "That's… that's Mr. Jagger from the Gladius Sect!""Isn't that Mr. Hartson beside him?" "They didn't come specially to be witnesses, did they?" Speculation rose all around them. "I heard that Mr. Hartson has been stuck at a bottleneck for over ten years and has been unable to break through. Is he going to use this opportunity to ask for a pill?" a young, thin man muttered quietly. However, no one felt that he was insulting Branson and Kody. After all, no matter how high the level one attained, there would always be bottlenecks in training. That was when refinists could really prove their value. If B

Branson and Kody would both eliminate Sebastian, and Godfrey wouldn't have to lift a finger.Refinists were valuable, but the fewer of them there were, the more valuable they would be. Godfrey had no wish to gain a strong competitor."Oh?" Branson and Kody both looked at Sebastian. However, a look of disappointment and disdain flashed in their eyes when they saw that Sebastian was just a young man."Mr. Callahan, you're not referring to him, are you?" Branson's brow was tightly furrowed. He clearly held Sebastian in contempt.Who would be brave enough to take a pill refined by such a young refinist? It wasn't even a question of whether or not he would be able to achieve a breakthrough. If the pill wasn't made properly, one could even die. Godfrey smiled slightly and pointed at the pill cauldron in the courtyard, under which a fire had been lit. "You may not know this, but Sebastian came specifically to have a battle in pill refining with me today. These medicine cauldrons were

After a few seconds of silence, Godfrey took a step forward and said harshly, "Alright. In order to be fair, you can use any of the medicinal herbs here. We'll decide the winner based on the grade of the pills that are refined."As soon as he finished, over a dozen Fate Sect apprentices carried hundreds of different medicinal herbs into the center of the venue. They placed them near the medicine cauldron before retreating."Hmph! You ignorant young man! Let me show you what the true art of pill refining is!" Godfrey strode forward and went up to one of the pill cauldrons. He pulled up his sleeves and struck the cauldron hard with the palm of his hand!There was a loud ringing sound. Just as everyone was confused, fire flared up under the pill cauldron all of a sudden.The white-hot flames danced in the wind, and even those in the crowd who were about 100 paces away felt as if they were being consumed by fire. It was too hot to bear!"Dragon Flames!' Godfrey yelled once more. The

Sebastian didn't care at all. He went over to the pile of medicinal herbs and bent over to examine them. "Starcloud grass?" Sebastian plucked an ordinary-looking weed from the pile. He scrutinized it for a long time before he was sure he wasn't mistaken.Herbs like that were essential for refining gold mystic pills, and they couldn't be found on the market at all. The stalk of starcloud grass was already worth more than 100 million on its own.There were more than a dozen other precious kinds of medicinal herbs that were pretty much extinct.After looking closely for a while, Sebastian picked a few ordinary-looking herbs and tossed them casually into his pill cauldron.When Sebastian ordered someone to carry the pill cauldron's cover over, Branson finally couldn't help saying, "Young man, I may not know anything about pill refining, but I'm almost 100% sure that you're a layman. "There's no need to waste everyone's time. Grovel in apology to Mr. Callahan as agreed and pay him t

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 Amazing Doctor Chapter 2047
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

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
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 2045
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
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 2044
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
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 2043
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
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 2042
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
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 2041
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
