Chapter 1686

Author: Wendell Mayhew
The problem was that the strength of the Griffins' foundation in Steinberg would decide the fate of the Northmans as well.

"What properties do I even own? I only have a convenience store. They can oppress it as much as they want," Sebastian said, smiling.

The convenience store was just something Sebastian ran for fun when he had nothing to do. His fortune wasn't based on these properties at all.

For instance, there were the pills he refined. Any of them could be sold at the high price of hundreds of millions or even billions. Even if his convenience store closed down, what did it matter?

Bankrupt him? That was ridiculous.

"It's not just a convenience store. There's Rosalie's entertainment club, the pharmaceutical factory in Northside, and Arctic Snow Group too. Aren't they all your properties? As far as I know, some people have already started taking action," Zane said nervously.

"What?" Sebastian asked coldly, his eyes narrowing.

No matter what those people did to him, he

    Sebastian's opponent had acted very fast."By the way, Whitney asked me to go and see them with her to negotiate. Do you have time? Will you come with me?" Rosalie asked, biting her lip.With Sebastian beside her, she would feel confident no matter what kind of unexpected situation popped up."Alright. I'll go with you and have a look," Sebastian said. He stood up and left the office with Rosalie.When they reached the foyer of Avis Building, the headquarters of Grandase Group, Sebastian immediately saw Whitney sitting beside a round table, looking very anxious. "Sebastian, Rosalie! You're finally here! Our products will be taken off the shelves this afternoon! What should we do?"Just last month, Whitney and Rosalie had invested the money that they had worked so hard to earn into the business. In order to expand production volumes, they had even specially bought a shipment of cutting edge production equipment from abroad.Once the factory and equipment was prepared and they we

    "Who are you? What are you doing? Who allowed you to come in?" Dean said, eyeing Sebastian angrily.The entire building belonged to the Grandase Group. This was his territory, and he thought nothing of Sebastian at all."It doesn't matter who I am. Let me give you some advice. You can be unreasonable, but don't let your hands wander. Otherwise, you'll regret it!" Sebastian said coldly.Dean's gaze swept coldly over him before he looked at Rosalie and Whitney again. They should have found a more suitable bodyguard for themselves! Sebastian was dressed plainly and looked poor. He seemed the studious type. What else could he do except say a few tough-sounding words?"Guards!" Dean called out through his office door.In less than two minutes, six or seven burly guards arrived at Dean's office door, holding tasers."Toss this brat out!" he said, pointing at Sebastian.After he got rid of Sebastian, he could do as he liked, couldn't he?He had been lusting after Rosalie and Whitney

    A few of the guards almost wet themselves with fright. Sebastian was a terrifying character who had crippled a martial arts Grandmaster with a single slap.Dean stared dazedly at them. He felt a chill settle over his heart as a name flashed across his mind—Sebastian Ballard.Only Brian Parker, the retainer of the Lannister family, would be able to face someone like Sebastian!"M-Mr. Ballard?" Dean broke out into a cold sweat at once. He stared at Sebastian, looking as pale as a sheet."You have a good eye." Sebastian bared his teeth at Dean.There was a thump as Dean's legs gave out in fear. He swallowed several times and said, "Mr. Ballard, I… I didn't mean to breach the contract. I… I was forced to do so."Dean was shaking like a leaf. If Sebastian lost his temper, Dean would lose his life!"Oh? You were forced to?" Sebastian smiled widely as he walked toward Dean."Mr. Ballard, have mercy!" Dean wet his pants in fear.Sebastian swept a cold gaze over him. He wouldn't deign

    Sebastian took out his phone and called Brett.When Brett answered the call, he said very respectfully, "Mr. Ballard, what can I help you with?""I've come across some difficulties. Is there anyone in the cosmetic industry in the Southeast Chamber of Commerce? Introduce someone to me," Sebastian said, smiling."Cosmetic products?" Brett thought deeply for a moment before he said, "Mr. Ballard, I'll tell Caspian Weller to go and see you at the convenience store an hour from now. He's the vice CEO of Rainpure Group.""Okay," Sebastian replied before hanging up."Well?" Rosalie stared nervously at him.Sebastian frowned on purpose and said, "This may disappoint you…"He deliberately trailed off and put on a troubled look."Oh, it's okay. Let's think of another solution." Rosalie squeezed out a smile with some difficulty.A solution? She had no solution at all."Have you heard of Rainpure Group?" Sebastian asked, smiling.Rosalie's head whipped around, and she saw the satisfied

    Caspian had not been able to attend the Southeast Chamber of Commerce banquet because of some issues at work.However, many of the people in the Chamber of Commerce were discussing the rumors about Sebastian.Caspian was also very curious about what kind of person Sebastian was.He had been bold enough to kill a Whitehall, after all. Caspian had investigated Sebastian for a while, and he knew that he wasn't just skilled in martial arts, he was also an expert in medicine. He also had close connections with many prominent figures.Even if Brett hadn't requested it, Caspian would have made it his goal to meet someone like Sebastian. Connections were extremely important to businessmen."Please sit down."Sebastian gestured for Rosalie and Whitney to sit down as well."Mr. Ballard, according to Mr. Dunhill, you're interested in working with our company," Caspian said earnestly."You're referring to them, not me. We have two face mask products on hand, and we would like to use your a

    Caspian wasn't hesitating because of the division of profits. He was simply calculating his ultimate gains. After half a minute, Caspian's eyes gleamed all of a sudden, and he said, "Deal!"Rosalie and Whitney were startled at first, but then they both broke into excited grins."Firstly, I'd like to clarify something. Our company doesn't focus solely on Sartvale. Sartvale and its surrounding states are the ones we focus on managing. We put our efforts into maintaining a chunk of the market in the whole country, not just in the state of Sartvale. So…"Caspian paused before continuing, "We may not be able to do what Grandase Group did within Sartvale, so your masks may not be in every mall and supermarket.""We understand. As long as you're sincere in collaborating with us, we can let go of the market share in Sartvale," Rosalie said excitedly.Just the thought of getting into the national market was exciting. Who wouldn't be willing to give up something small for something bigger

    Lexi was from a family skilled in martial arts, and she was used to meeting prominent and influential figures. It didn't matter whether they were prominent figures in business or politics. They all had to show respect to the Bach family.While she was abroad, Lexi had seen for herself how strong the Warriors overseas were. Comparatively, a traditional medicine doctor like Sebastian seemed inconsequential to her. Caspian could just ask the Bachs for help if he wanted to become head of the Weller family. If the Bachs agreed, how could the Wellers possibly refuse?There was no need for Caspian to suck up to a traditional medicine doctor.Sebastian arrived at the private room at 8:00 pm on the dot. Caspian immediately got up to welcome him when he saw him. "Welcome, Mr. Ballard! I am honored to be able to have dinner with you!" he said, looking straight at Sebastian.Sebastian smiled lightly. "You're too kind, Mr. Weller. We're all friends here, and there's no need to be so for

    The energy replenishing pills were sold out as soon as they were released. The buyers would then resell it on the black market at prices that were two or even five times higher. That meant that any distributor who signed a contract with Rosalie would become the suppliers for these resellers.If such a high-quality energy replenishing pill could be put on Rainpure Group's shelves, it would make it a corporation with great influence in both cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.Caspian's hands were trembling with excitement, and he had no time to bother with Lexi at all.At that moment, there was a series of knocks on the door. Before Caspian could get up or ask anything, the door opened, and an old man walked in."Mr. Baye!" Lexi looked as if she had just seen her savior. She got up quickly to greet him.Wilfred Baye was one of the Bachs' guardsmen. "Ms. Bach." Wilfred bowed very politely to Lexi. Before Caspian gave him permission to do so, he pulled up a chair and sat down.Caspian

    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
