Chapter 1967

Auteur: Wendell Mayhew
Kayden might seem generous, but anyone could tell that he had been targeting Sebastian since coming in.

"Well! After all my years in Acorn City, this is the first time someone has refused to let me pick up the tab! You're pretty bold, aren't you?"

Kayden went over to Sebastian's table and pulled up a chair, staring scornfully at him.

"You're just as bold." Sebastian put his knife and fork down and glanced fleetingly at Kayden.

"Want to know something, brat? There was once a very arrogant young guy who offended me with what he said. He's currently still in the ICU!" Kayden said threateningly.

"Like you said, that was in the past. It's got nothing to do with the present," Sebastian replied, grinning.

"I admire how calm you are, brat. You bullied my woman, and now I'm sitting right in front of you, yet you're still so calm. Impressive! Maybe you don't know who I am."

There was a fierce glint in Kayden's eyes as he spoke.

Sebastian scoffed. "Whoever you are, what does it have to d

    "Mr. Berkeley, is it? It doesn't matter whether you're an heir, all adults must take responsibility for their words and actions," Sebastian said icily."Kill him!" Kayden shouted.He was convulsing with pain. Although the wounds on his shoulders weren't fatal, it was also the spot on the body with the least amount of flesh and the thinnest skin.Sebastian had pieced through his bones with that move, and it wasn't the kind of pain that an ordinary person could withstand. It was surprising that Kayden hadn't fainted from the pain.A few deacons from the Martial Arts Court immediately rushed in Sebastian's direction, but they were sent packing faster than they had come. One of the deacons was sent sailing through the air in Kayden's direction and landed heavily on top of him. In less than ten seconds, all five of the deacons were sprawled out on the floor, writhing. Kayden was pinned below the first deacon, unable to move at all. Sebastian stood up and walked slowly over to him.

    However, Kayden's rage was futile. Even the deacons beside him advised him in low voices not to try and issue a challenge. Otherwise, he was sure to end up in an even worse state.After settling the bill, the deacons helped Kayden into the elevator.Kayden was badly injured. Not only was he now disfigured, but he also had fractures of varying degrees in his shoulders and ribs. When he was brought to the hospital, despite being given three times the usual dose of anesthetic, he still let out bloodcurdling yells from inside the operating room. Amidst his screams, he swore inwardly that he would use all the connections of the Berkeleys to crush Sebastian completely!…Back at the restaurant, Candy sneered as her gaze swept over Sebastian. She had been with Kayden the entire time. Beating up Kayden was different from destroying the Lynches. The Lynches were also an elite martial arts family in Acorn City, but their status couldn't be compared to the Berkeleys at all.The Berke

    In the process of the investigation, the police had discovered that some of the houses in the village still had their lights on and that there was still food cooking on the stoves. However, the people in the houses seemed to have all disappeared into thin air.From then on, Flemin Village had become a deserted place that no one dared to live in.As for the villas, no one knew when they had been built, nor did anyone know who the owners of the villas were. However, the sound of ghostly wails and screams could often be heard inside. Even the deacons from the local Martial Arts Court wouldn't go near them if they could help it. It was rumored that all the wronged spirits of the villagers were in those villas. Someone had once looked in the windows of the villas in the middle of the night, and they had been filled with fearful human faces. However, during the day, the villas were unusually quiet. There was no sign of human activity in any of them."Mr. Gabbard, you seem to be ve

    Scott seemed used to it and didn't even look up. As he ate, he said to Sebastian, "Mr. Ballard, don't be surprised. This is a common occurrence!"Sebastian glanced at him and took another large bite of beef. He smiled and said, "You're alone here. Aren't you afraid?""Afraid? Is there any use in being afraid?" Scott asked. "To be honest, I've been transferred here for almost three months, and no one's come to replace me yet. They told me at the beginning that we'd be changed once a month!"Then, he turned and gave Cohen a meaningful look."Someone will come and replace you next month," Cohen said, although it was obviously an empty promise.At that moment, a black SUV drove into Flemin Village and headed straight toward the villas.At the entrance to the neighborhood where the villas were, a few young men and women got out of the car. One of the young women was supporting a young man, who was limping. They walked toward the villas. Among the young men and women, a few of them w

    Kayden watched Sebastian walk off and gritted his teeth. "Sebastian Ballard! If you dare to return to Acorn City, I'll make sure you die a horrible death!""Mr. Berkeley, there's no need to get yourself worked up over someone like that. Violet said that she would help you deal with him, didn't she?" Candy said icily. Kayden huffed angrily and hurried back to the car. Colton and Jayden followed hastily. …After they entered the forest, Scott led Sebastian to a hill. He pointed at the paw prints on the ground and said, "Look, Mr. Ballard!"Sebastian didn't look in the direction that Scott was pointing at. Instead, he focused warily on the sounds around them. Suddenly, a gust of wind swept over them, bringing the pungent smell of blood. The leaves in the forest rustled noisily as they were battered by the wind."It's coming!" Sebastian said calmly.Scott jumped in fright and hastily retreated behind Sebastian. Cohen looked warily around them. There was an old saying which sai

    Perhaps the tiger's instincts had alerted it to the feeling of danger. "Bind!"Just as the tiger turned to escape into the forest, Sebastian gave a curt command. In an instant, an invisible pressure bound the tiger tightly where it was. The tiger had its back to Sebastian, but it could feel death approaching, and it couldn't help growling mournfully. Sebastian slapped the back of the tiger's head, and he destroyed half the tiger's body instantly."Holy sh—Mr. Ballard!"Scott stared at Sebastian in shock. What he had just witnessed was beyond the scope of his imagination. Even the legends of warriors fighting against tigers had described a life-and-death struggle. However, this particular tiger hadn't been able to fight back against Sebastian at all!Sebastian looked at the glistening heaps of blood and flesh on the ground, and he pulled out a dozen porcelain bottles. He filled five of them with tiger blood, then hacked off a large chunk of tiger meat, which he placed in a p

    Sebastian let out a turbid breath. He could feel that his strength was much stronger than before. He still wasn't in peak condition, but it was still wonderful news to him. At least he had now restored more than half his powers. Sebastian had just gotten up and stretched when he heard a series of knocks on the door."Mr. Ballard, time to eat!" Scott said tentatively. He was terrified of disturbing him.Sebastian answered, "I'll be out soon!"When Scott saw Sebastian, he realized that the latter no longer looked as pale as he had at first, and there was a slight rosy tinge to his complexion. He smiled and said, "Mr. Ballard, you're looking pretty good today!"Sebastian only smiled impassively but didn't respond. They returned to the Martial Arts Court building, where a large platter of meat had already been placed on the table for Sebastian."Mr. Ballard, we don't have much to eat here. Apart from game, all we have is beef. I was afraid that you wouldn't be accustomed to it,

    Sebastian looked up at the shadowy figures, among which there were children. They were probably the Flemin Village inhabitants who had disappeared without a trace overnight 30 years ago!"Not only did you commit murder, you even wanted to imprison them here forever! You're unbelievably cruel! Also, what kind of grudge does your family have against that young woman?" Sebastian asked accusingly as he pointed at Candy.Although Candy had been hostile toward Sebastian from the beginning, he knew that it wasn't out of her own will. It was the will of the snake that had merged with her soul. "You are far too nosy, young man. How do you know the young woman doesn't want to become part of our family? Perhaps she's thrilled at the very thought right now!" Violet cackled. Sebastian took a deep breath. He looked at the shadowy figures around him and at Candy, who was standing at the window."I'll give you one chance," he said. "Let them all go and remove the snake curse from that young wom

    Whitney perked up at Sebastian's question. "It's all because you ran into the two monsters that day," she said. "I saw it on the surveillance footage. That was when I realized that the two women living in the store don't have that kind of relationship with you…"Whitney had never asked, and Sebastian hadn't bothered to explain who Nina and Lyanna were. That was why she had mistakenly thought that both of them were Sebastian's lovers as well.Realization had only dawned on her when she heard Nina address Sebastian as her master, even in her dying breath. Whitney had seen how powerful Nina was that day and how she had been willing to die in order to protect Sebastian.Nina and Lyanna weren't Sebastian's lovers. They were his servants. Not only that, Nina was a thousand-year-old giant snake!That had completely changed Whitney's view of the world. Although there had always been legends of mystical beings and ghosts, Whitney was an accomplished businesswoman who believed firmly in sc

    Sebastian laughed wryly and shook his head. "I'm not from the Ballard Estate," he said. "My name is Sebastian, and it's better if my cousin weren't seen around me too much.""Oh, you're Sebastian."The two young women breathed a long sigh of relief. They looked him up and down for a long time before exchanging a glance. Then, they covered their faces and giggled.One of them stepped forward and said, "Come with me. Honestly… you seem pretty normal. I don't get why Ms. Sutton is yearning for you so much."Sebastian cleared his throat awkwardly and said nothing.The young woman led Sebastian into the house, where Whitney was sitting and reading a book intently. She said, "Ms. Sutton, look who's here."Whitney put down her book and looked up. When she saw Sebastian behind the young woman, she was both surprised and delighted. She got up and threw herself into Sebastian's arms."Sebastian, is it really you?"The young woman covered her face and chuckled before leaving the room sile

    Sebastian watched Andreas leave and exhaled deeply. Preston wasn't the only one he didn't trust. No one in the Ballard Estate was worthy of his trust, including Andreas.Once Andreas had completely disappeared, Sebastian beckoned to the woods in the distance and said, "Come out!"In a flash, Duo appeared at his side. "My lord, why didn't you wipe out those people in the hall today?" he asked.Duo clenched his fists tightly, and there was a murderous look simmering in his eyes. Although he hadn't been in the hall, he had clearly heard everything the Ballards had said.Anyone who disrespected his master deserved death!Besides, neither Sebastian nor Duo would have had to lift a finger to kill them. All they had to do was to crush the Tribulation Avoidance Charm and trigger the divine tribulation. Once it descended, no one in the hall would have lived to tell the tale, including Arnaud."If we become hostile with the Ballards, it'll be almost impossible for us to leave in peace. Now

    "It all comes back to Uncle Samson," Andreas said. "Great Uncle Arnaud already told you he'd let Uncle Samson have his freedom if you find the other emerald token, but then he brought up the marriage alliance. "It directly affects whether or not Uncle Samson can regain his freedom. So, why don't you think about it?"With a quiet chuckle, Andreas walked toward a grove of peach trees to the west.Realization finally dawned on Sebastian. Arnaud was a shrewd man. He wouldn't slip up like that. Besides, although the Ballards and the Yeomans had established a marriage agreement, they hadn't named specific individuals, only that the Blessed Child of the Ballards would fulfill it.The Blessed Child bore the duty of guiding the Ballards to revival. In other words, the emerald token would be better off falling into the Blessed Child's hands rather than anyone else's.Could it be that the final emerald token was with the Yeomans? If that were true, why hadn't the Ballards used their pow

    "I'm sorry, but I have no interest in becoming the head of the Ballard family," Sebastian said impassively. "I only want my father to be freed."Arnaud's expression changed slightly, but his tone remained neutral as he said, "It's Braxton who owes you and your mother, not the entire family. Why must you do this?"Sebastian let out a cold snort. It was true that Braxton had been the one who had kicked them out, but weren't the true culprits the elders of the Ballard Estate?"If there's nothing else, I'd like to see Whitney," Sebastian said, rising slowly to his feet. As soon as he mentioned her name, Arnaud waved a hand at him and said, "Don't be in such a rush, Sebastian. Whitney is safe. The Ballards would never harm a frail woman."He added, "However, there's something I want to ask you. Is Whitney still your wife?"Sebastian frowned. "Whether she is or isn't, what business is that of the Ballards?""Of course it is," Arnaud replied firmly. "The Ballards and the Yeomans of

    Arnaud led Sebastian into a secret room deep within the Hall of the Ancestral Dragon. Once inside, Sebastian saw a Cosmic Orbit Diagram. It was exactly the same as the records in the Sacred Medicine Secret Annals.However, the Ballards' Cosmic Orbit Diagram was divided into different sections. It looked even more three-dimensional."This is the Cosmic Orbit Diagram passed down through our family for generations," Arnaud said proudly. "The one that the Sacred Medicine Society has is just a copy."The legacy of the mystic arts in Dramon almost all came from the Ballards.The Ballards had withheld some things back then as well. As a result, all the legacies of the various secular sects only had incomplete Cosmic Orbit Diagrams. It was why there were very few experts at the fifth level of the Eldoria realm and above.Afterward, Arnaud led Sebastian into a library. Thousands of technical legacies lined the shelves. Sebastian flipped through them. The techniques recorded there were

    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
