Chapter 171

Author: Wendell Mayhew
In the courtyard of Howard's villa, more than a dozen bodyguards brought back from Janover stood guard.

When Sebastian got out of the car, he went straight to Howard's room and saw him lying on the bed, pale-faced and weak.

He looked like he was in a coma. Sebastian frowned and went up to him. Silver needles in his hand flashed, hovering midair before piercing Howard's chest one by one.

Sebastian's spiritual energy flowed from his body into Howard through the silver needles. After a moment, Howard's eyes flung open. He took a deep breath and shivered.

When he saw Sebastian before him, he trembled and sat up. He exclaimed, "Thank you… for saving my life, Dr. Ballard!"

Sebastian removed his needles and frowned. He asked, "How did this happen? Didn't I give you a charm for protection?"

Howard shook his head and clutched his chest, gasping. "It was all my fault. I slipped when I was taking a bath earlier. I hit my head, and blood stained the charm. Then I passed out."

With that,

    Sebastian remained indifferent, with no fear on his face. Beside him, Rosalie was the same, calm and composed. "Oh, there's three of them! Looks like we'll have to charge extra!"The two figures stepped forward, mocking and sneering. Their faces were twisted into an evil smile. The shorter figure laid his eyes on Rosalie and smirked perversely."There's a beauty here too. This mission is great! Just enough for the two of us to enjoy."The taller figure looked straight at Howard. His eyes were cold. "Mr. Tuffin, today is the day you die. Are you going to kill yourself, or do we have to do it?"None of them paid any attention to Sebastian throughout the whole exchange. They were extremely arrogant. Howard panicked, looking at Sebastian reluctantly.The shorter guy sneered. "Mr. Tuffin, there's no need to look. No one can save you today!"Sebastian calmly placed his cup down and said, "Is that so? What if I want to save him?"The two finally acknowledge Sebastian with cold eyes.

    But in the next second, they only saw Sebastian lifting his hand up indifferently. He had grabbed the assassin's wrist! He barely even moved!The courtyard suddenly fell silent. The atmosphere had turned solemn. "What is going on!" The tall man was shocked and glanced around in a panic. No matter how much he used his strength, he couldn't move the dagger at all!Suddenly, Sebastian mockingly chuckled. "Is this all the strength of the Twin Killers of Zuebonia?""You! You're just looking to die!" As soon as he heard Sebastian's words, he was furious. He raised his foot and kicked the side of Sebastian's head!There was a cracking sound, and even the surrounding tables and chairs shook under the power of his kick! His kick exerted the force of at least a thousand pounds! Even an adult bull's skull would shatter under the power, let alone Sebastian, a human being! "With such ruthless power, it seems the only thing I can do is to eliminate the threat to others," Sebastian said col

    With that strength, at the very least, he trained under a martial arts expert! Why would someone with such prowess reside in the small town of Steinberg? When did Howard get such a formidable expert by his side?"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is, who sent you?" Sebastian asked him, his voice cold and condescending.Sabre chuckled coldly and replied, "Just go ahead and kill me. I won't betray my employer.""I see." Sebastian thought for a moment before looking at Howard and asked, "Mr. Tuffin, would you like to interrogate him, or should I?""Dr. Ballard, I don't want to trouble you with this. My people will do it," Howard replied quickly.Sebastian nodded. Howard made a call and seven to eight bodyguards rushed in from outside. The assassin, who was lying in his pool of blood, was dragged down the hall. Sebastian quickly took care of the guards' injuries. After everything was settled, Howard kept thanking him."Thank you, Dr. Ballard. Thank you for saving my life t

    Tony's face darkened when he looked at the dead body on the ground. He said coldly, "Mr. Mitchell, I hope you won't disappoint me again."Wesley replied heartlessly, "Don't worry, Mr. Wright. I will personally kill him this time! Howard Tuffin won't be the only one dying tonight. The man who killed my disciple must die too!"…Sebastian went straight back to the small shop after leaving the courtyard. To his surprise, a Porsche 718 was parked outside the store. Behind the car was a woman standing with her hands on her hips.Her hair was tied in a ponytail, and she had a cold air around him. She was extremely captivating under the moonlight.Sebastian got out of his car and took a few steps when the woman walked over. "Dr. Ballard."He furrowed his brow and turned to look. It was Lorelai. What was she doing here?"Do you need something?" Sebastian asked calmly. Lorelai was about to speak but glanced at Rosalie beside him and immediately frowned. She was a very beautiful woman,

    However, she felt hands on her butt. She had never been touched there by a man before! Sebastian had not only kicked her there, but now, he was also grabbing it.She let out a scream, followed by a slap. However, he caught her hand. He said disapprovingly, "Ms. Turner, this is too much. I was just trying to help you.""You shameless, disgusting jerk! Let go of me!" Lorelai shouted angrily. Her cheeks were flushed. She was ready to burst into tears any second. "Alright, you asked for it." Sebastian shrugged helplessly and let her go. Lorelai fell with a thud. Her perky butt fell right to the ground, but because of their perkiness, they even bounced. "Ah! You bastard!" She was so angry. She got up, clutching her butt, and pointed angrily at him. "You told me to let go." Sebastian shrugged. Lorelai stomped her foot in anger and glared at him angrily. "Just you wait! I'll be back."With that, she got into her car as she clutched her butt. She revved her engine, seemingly ven

    Whitney raised her eyebrows indifferently. "Send him two flower bouquets.""Bouquets? Are you serious, Ms. Sutton?" Mabel found it unbelievable. Her face immediately showed annoyance. Whitney turned around to look at her. "Just because we're divorced doesn't mean we have to avoid each other. We were together for three years, after all. Besides, his company is just across the street from ours. Not sending congratulatory flowers would make me seem petty. Just do as I say."With that, she sat down and began working on some documents. Mabel frowned and replied, "I'll see to it."Then, she turned and left.…At the entrance of Rosé Corporation, Rosalie and Sebastian got out of the car.The workers and employees Rosalie had hired for him were bustling about. They were all smiles and bowing with a greeting. "Ms. Griffin, Mr. Ballard."When Sebastian heard them addressing him as such, he felt a wave of emotions. It had been two years, right? Once again, he had become a CEO. For a

    "Personally, I would love to help you, Mr. Cobb. But you know, these things need some arrangements," Wallace said. Fergus replied, "Mr. Jenkins, you don't have to worry. I understand. Once the job is done, I'll send you fifty local specialties and not a cent less!""Hahaha, Mr. Cobb, you do know how to get things done. Alright, I'll make the arrangements." Wallace chuckled. Fergus hung up the phone, and his expression turned sly and cold. "Sebastian," he muttered, "if your company can continue operating in Steinberg, my name might as well be destroyed!"With that, he made another call. He ordered two bouquets and prepared to head down and watch the show.…In the afternoon, at the entrance of Rosé Corporation, two rows of bouquets were arranged. Sebastian and Rosalie stood at the entrance. They were getting ready for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.Suddenly, Sebastian's phone rang. He saw that it was the chief director of Steinberg Pharma, Zeke Fisher. "Mr. Fisher, what's wrong

    "Seal it up?" Sebastian's expression changed instantly. He asked, "We just opened it. Why would there be any illegal medication production?"The middle-aged man said condescendingly, "We received mass reports. This type of situation requires your cooperation with our investigation."As they spoke, several Steinberg Pharma employees approached the building with a sealing tape. They were getting ready to seal off the premises.Rosalie immediately stepped forward, displeased. She shouted, "For what reasons are you sealing off the building? What illegal productions? Where did we violate regulations?"The middle-aged man's expression turned dark. He said sternly, "I said you're involved in illegal productions, so you are! If you dare obstruct our law enforcement, I'll take you all in for questioning!"You there, seal the place. Anyone who dares to block our way will be taken away for questioning!"With that command, several employees moved forward. They pushed aside people who blocked

    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

    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

    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

    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
