"Alright, alright. Let's just follow the orders from our superiors," Gerard said, turning to look at Sebastian and Whitney as they entered the office. There was a smug look on his face.Drew quickly introduced them to Sebastian. "Mr. Ballard, this is Officer Bellamy, the previous lead investigator. He's a criminal investigation instructor at the police academy and an experienced criminal investigator. He's been working with the state department in this field for more than 20 years."Gerard glanced arrogantly at Sebastian and inclined his head slightly. He didn't even stand up to greet him. As for Whitney, he barely even looked at her.Why would Sebastian have brought a woman here while working on such a big case? He didn't seem to be the right man for the job at all.Gerard was a famed criminal investigation expert throughout the whole of Sartvale, and he had been responsible for solving numerous high-profile cases.Even the crushed corpses case that had shocked the nation over te

Shouldn't Sebastian have tried to assure them and establish a good working relationship with them?None of the officers had expected him to be so aggressive as soon as he appeared. He had even told them all to leave!"Sebastian, we should probably tone it down," Whitney whispered. "After all, we'll need their help to find Shannon."Sebastian chuckled and said, "You want to rely on them? They won't find her even if they have ten years to do so!"The officers looked even more grim, especially Brody. He had never imagined that Sebastian would be so hostile to them when they were the experts in criminal investigation! He found himself at a loss for words."Hmph! Fine, I'll go! I'd like to see how you're going to solve this case!" Brody snapped, turning bright red with anger. He spun on his heel, ready to leave."Sit down!" Drew roared, slamming his hand on the table. "Which one among you is going to be bold enough to leave?"Brody jumped in fright, startled by Drew's outburst. The o

Sebastian didn't spare Gerard another glance. Turning to Whitney, he said gently, "Let's sit."Whitney's mind had gone blank. She could never have imagined that Sebastian would interact with the men from the state department in this manner.As Brody watched Sebastian lead Whitney by the hand to sit at the head of the table, he clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his palm. He said through gritted teeth, "Mr. Ballard, you've never even attended a criminal investigation class. What makes you think you can solve this case?""What makes me think so? It's because I'm Sebastian Ballard! I don't care how amazing you are or how many cases you've solved in the past. Right now, I'm in charge!" Sebastian said impassively.He turned to look at Gerard and asked, "Do you disagree? If so, tell me what leads you've found. Any lead at all would suffice."The room fell silent; the officers were dumbstruck. Any leads? They didn't even have the faintest inkling. They had no idea what

The photo was of a long-abandoned construction site that had two unfinished buildings on it. It was surrounded by barren mountains, which were covered in dense woods. Ordinarily, very few people went there.Gerard glanced at the photo and sneered. It was a photo of the site where a young woman had died tragically just four days ago.From a criminal investigation perspective, crime scenes like that were not worth investigating at all. It wasn't the place where the first crime had been committed, nor was it the place where the last crime had been committed.They would be able to glean the murderer's modus operandi at the first crime scene and compare it to subsequent cases. However, that was clearly not required for this particular case, as there would be no other way in which someone could turn people into dried corpses.As for the last crime scene, Gerard and the others had already scrutinized it at least 80 times. There were no leads at all, which was why they were all at a loss.

"Mr. Ballard, have you discovered anything?" Gerard asked, striding into the abandoned building with a large group of officers from the state department. His hands were clasped behind his back.They had scoured the building countless times, searching every nook and cranny, yet they had found nothing.Sebastian ignored them and walked slowly to a door on the first floor. He tossed a paper charm onto the floor. After throwing six paper charms in a row, he looked up in the direction of the second floor."The crime didn't take place upstairs. This building only has two stories, and it's empty up there," Gerard said contemptuously.Sebastian didn't respond and threw the final paper charm up into the air.When the paper charm landed on the floor, Sebastian chanted in a low voice, "Heaven and earth subdue the curse, the land hides a true spirit, and the Northstar formation joins with the skies!"When his chant ended, the seven paper charms immediately began to glow with a silver-white l

"Mr. Ballard, did you just say the murderer isn't human?" Drew asked, frowning deeply."Mr. Houghton, don't listen to his nonsense! No matter how powerful that thing inside is, can it stand against our bullets? If he resists, we'll shoot him dead on the spot!" Gerard said urgently."Exactly," Brody chimed in. "How can you try and trick us with ghost stories in this modern era? You traditional medicine doctors can only fool ignorant women from the countryside!"Everyone there was part of the elite among the police, and they all believed firmly in science. They had all solved some unusual cases at some point, but in the end, they had all proved to be the work of a human.Ghosts didn't exist at all!Besides, some of those present felt that Sebastian was just lucky and had chanced upon the murderer. They didn't think that it was due to any ability or skill on his part."Mr. Ballard, shall we try to call for backup?" Drew was beginning to waver. Although he didn't want to offend Seb
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 1638
Sebastian wasn't sure how powerful the cave sprite was. All he had were a few self-preservation strategies he had learned from the Sacred Medicine Secret Annals. He would have no problem saving himself, but that didn't mean he could defeat his opponent.Cave sprites were revenants that only appeared every couple of thousand years. If they were that easy to deal with, why would they be so rare?Sebastian had only promised Belinda and Rufus on the phone that he would find the murderer. As for capturing the murderer, he wasn't responsible for that.Besides, if they locked the cave sprite's area of movement or made him too afraid to go into city areas to eat people, what did it matter whether they caught him or not?After less than half an hour, over ten police cars from the state department arrived at the scene. Vince turned and sighed in resignation as he looked at them. He could only pray inwardly that there wouldn't be a huge scene of carnage and death. The sacrifice of these
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 1639
The old man was clearly not very skilled in the mystic arts, as he had not been able to see Sebastian's formation.Those whose mystic arts had reached a certain level would be able to see that there was now a wall of light around Sebastian. Even the cave sprite wouldn't be able to pass through it."Young man, haven't you heard the saying that curiosity kills the cat?" The old man's gaze swept over Sebastian, and an impatient note crept into his voice. Although the old man was arrogant, he genuinely had good intentions, so Sebastian had a fairly good impression of him. Therefore, he didn't get angry and just chuckled as he nodded.When the old man realized that Sebastian wouldn't budge, he decided not to bother with him any longer. He strode into the building and said coldly, "You'll regret it soon. Don't think you're safe just because there are officers near you. When you lose your life, don't say that I didn't warn you!"As soon as the old man finished, a team of special forces

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

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
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
The Amazing Doctor Chapter 2040
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
