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
Wilfred was just lucky that Nina hadn't had much of an appetite for the past few days. Otherwise, he wouldn't even have any bones left after what he had just said.Nina was spooning ice cream into her mouth. It was the first time she had eaten something so delicious.Although Nina had had a corporeal body before, she hadn't been able to eat at all. Even if she did eat, she couldn't taste anything.After using Sebastian's training technique, Nina could now eat and drink like a normal person. She just hadn't had the chance to taste all the delicious food in the world yet. "My lor—Sebastian, I never knew that ice cream tasted so good!" Nina said as she dug out a spoonful and fed to Sebastian.Sebastian could not let Nina refer to him as her lord when they were out, as it would make people misunderstand, so he had asked her to refer to him by his name. Sebastian tasted it and nodded. "Yes, this ice cream is pretty good."Nina giggled and said, "My saliva tastes good too."Sebasti
The surrounding onlookers all gave Wilfred a thumbs-up."Good slap! They need to be taught a lesson!""Beat these dogs up, old man!""Yeah! This is the territory of Dramon!"The onlookers were all cheering Wilfred on, and he grinned smugly.He glanced disdainfully at Sebastian and the others, who were still sitting inside. Those cowardly young people weren't even brave enough to teach a few Yutarian youths a lesson! What an embarrassment to Dramon!"Ms. Bach, I don't think that Mr. Weller is suitable to be your husband. What a coward! I think that a weakling like him is only suited to hanging out with a milksop like Sebastian!" Wilfred's lip curled, and he sneered.Lexi had been annoyed with Caspian already. Sebastian was clearly ignoring her existence, and Caspian had simply let him do so!Now, a Dramonian was being bullied right here in their own country by Yutarians, but Sebastian hadn't made a single peep. If Caspian became her husband, how could she hold her head up high
"Hmph! You bastards are accomplices of those human traffickers! You deserve to die!" Wilfred strode over to one of the Yutarian youths and crushed three of his ribs with one foot. When Wilfred saw that the Yutarian youth had fainted from the pain, he went over smugly to the remaining youth and said, "If you don't want to end up like him, then kneel to me and apologize to the people of Dramon!"Wilfred looked righteous and felt a sense of accomplishment. Compared to Sebastian and Nina, he felt that he truly embodied what a Dramonian Warrior should be!"Idiot!" The Yutarian youths exploded in anger at once and swung their fists at Wilfred.They were no match for Wilfred at all, and both of them ended up on the floor in a puddle of their own blood.Several of the onlookers looked at Wilfred with gazes of admiration.Everyone hated human traffickers. Everyone had children, and no one wanted to have their child snatched away on the streets.These Yutarians were allegedly found to
Wilfred fell to his knees in fear.He was not embarrassed to cower before this man. After all, he was Ronaldo!He was a legend from the Culter Sect of Yutaria. Less than 100 people in Dramon were his equals.He could kill Wilfred in less than ten moves. How could Wilfred not be afraid?Ronaldo walked out and pointed at the wide hall. "Get out here this instant!" "I'm coming! I'm coming!" Wilfred smiled widely and crawled out to the great hall. When Caspian saw how Wilfred was debasing himself, he scoffed and asked Lexi, "Is that how hot-blooded the Bachs are? That was truly eye-opening.""You don't know anything, Caspian! Mr. Baye is just adapting to the situation!" Lexi shrieked."Do all the Bachs crawl on the ground to adapt?" Sebastian laughed scornfully."You bastard! I'm going to tell Mr. Baye what the two of you said later. Just wait! You're both going to die!" Lexi rushed out of the room angrily.Outside, the onlookers hadn't dispersed. They were all watching the sho
Caspian was actually very afraid. Although he did not know who Ronaldo was, even Wilfred was kneeling. One could imagine just how frightening Ronaldo must be.How could Sebastian still be chatting and laughing with Caspian as if nothing was happening?Lexi clenched her fists tightly. Even the Bachs had to kneel in front of Ronaldo. How could Sebastian speak to him in that tone?She wanted nothing more than for Ronaldo to kill Sebastian at once!"You're very cocky, young man!" Ronaldo narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at Sebastian.However, he sensed that Sebastian was extremely dangerous—and the woman beside him felt just as threatening.Ronaldo even suspected that he would not be able to last more than one move from that woman!However, the young man's training was a mystery. No matter how much Ronaldo scrutinized him, Sebastian just seemed like an ordinary person who did not know any martial arts.His experience told him that people like that were usually the most dangerous
As one of the eight main sects of Yutaria, the Northern Divine Swords could not tolerate the insults and slander of a young man who was barely out of puberty."I don't know who he is, and I'm not interested. If you want to fight, then hurry it up. I haven't even finished eating." Sebastian yawned impatiently.How cocky! He was being extremely arrogant!Wilfred's eyes were bulging with rage. He gritted his teeth as he stared at Sebastian. He was hoping that Sebastian would be chopped up into pieces by Ronaldo!Lexi's lips had turned purple with anger. Where did Sebastian get the confidence to brag like that?How could he be so cocky with Ronaldo? It was no wonder so many people wanted to kill him!"Young man, why don't you just admit your wrongdoings? That old Yutarian man seems pretty formidable!""Yeah, you should live to fight another day! We'll have plenty of opportunities to deal with him in the future. Just waiting for him to die will be an easy victory for you!""Young ma
The most ironic thing was that Wilfred had been scorning Sebastian for being arrogant, but now he did not dare to look down on him at all.Lexi was dazed by Sebastian's move. Was Sebastian really that powerful?Why had Wilfred been unable to tell how skilled he really was?Ronaldo clenched his teeth. No matter how skilled he was at the mystic arts, it would be no use if he could not determine the position of his opponent.In the end, he had no choice but to make up his mind. He pulled out his Yutarian longsword and charged at the shadows.He swung his sword several times, but they all came up empty. He found himself surrounded by over ten shadows instead. Ronaldo held his Yutarian longsword with both hands and closed his eyes tightly. He was trying to sense Sebastian's position based on instinct alone.Although he could feel Sebastian getting closer to him, his position kept changing. "Idiot!" Ronaldo clenched his teeth. Sebastian was the most challenging opponent he had ever
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
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
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
