It was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.Braxton closed his eyes tightly and thought for a long time before he slowly opened them again and said, "Alright. Since Sebastian has pushed us to this extent, he shouldn't blame us for what we're about to do! An eye for an eye."Braxton got up quickly and began rummaging around. After a long time, he finally sighed and said, "The people at the door have searched the place and taken my phone. We can't leave this courtyard, and even if we want to contact the Yeomans, we—"Before they had been escorted to the courtyard, the guards had confiscated their phones. Apart from the clothes they were wearing, they hadn't been allowed to keep so much as a piece of paper. After all, Arnaud wasn't the kind of person who would leave Braxton and Roland any chance of interfering. That was why he had completely cut off their contact with the outside world. Roland chuckled and bent down. He took out a basic phone from one of his pant legs. He hand
Belinda sighed softly and said, "Forget it. Mr. Ballard will investigate this incident himself. Give the order for our subordinates to keep an eye out. If there's any news, just let him know."She waved a hand to dismiss Blake and walked in the direction of her bedroom.Blake sighed, and when Belinda had walked off, he turned and rushed in the direction of the Martial Arts Association's headquarters.…On the way back. Rosalie said thoughtfully while she drove, "Sebastian, do you remember Madam Dragon asking you about the emerald token just now?"Sebastian nodded. Rosalie wasn't the only one who had noticed something strange. Even he had felt that there had been something odd about Belinda's expression.However, since Cillian and the others had been present, he hadn't been able to ask directly."I feel that she knows something," Rosalie said as she thought back on Belinda's expression at the time.She clearly remembered the look of shock on Cillian and Wyatt's faces when they h
Sebastian had no choice but to nod in agreement, and Rosalie finally smiled.Belinda frowned slightly and asked, "Mr. Sebastian, do you mean to say that you're looking for the emerald token left behind by the ancestral dragon? It's not some kind of Reincarnation Pill?"Sebastian nodded heavily. "That's right. It would be more accurate to say that this emerald token is a magical device. However, there are very few people who know how to use it."Even Sebastian and Andreas weren't sure about how to use the emerald token. There were no records about it in the Sacred Medicine Secret Annals, either.Belinda nodded in understanding.Beside them, Cillian put down his wine glass and looked at Sebastian as he asked, "Sebastian, what plans do you have for after you reach Draepolis?"It was clear that the convenience store wouldn't continue operating. Arctic Snow Group and Frostwave Corporation would probably establish a branch in Draepolis, but that wasn't something that could be done with
Rosalie was familiar with the woman that Sebastian was referring to. Alyssa was a renowned socialite among the elites of Draepolis. Most of the young heirs of Draepolis hovered around her all the time. She was one of the core members of that inner circle.However, Rosalie and Alyssa had never gotten along. Upon hearing that Sebastian was going to visit the Yeomans, Rosalie was immediately furious. "Hmph! If you're going to enter into a marriage alliance with her, why bother with me?" Rosalie turned her head away, her eyes reddening. Tears began trickling uncontrollably down her cheeks."Rosalie, that's not what I meant…""What did you mean then? If you go and visit them, then isn't that a blind date? Is there any other explanation?" Rosalie retorted angrily as she wiped her tears away.It was the first time she had spoken to Sebastian in that tone. But who could blame her? The person she had feelings for would be going on a blind date. Who could stand the thought of that?In p
"I see that you've brought an esteemed guest, Mr. Ballard!"Belinda shook hands with Andreas once more. She arranged for Andreas to be seated as well and treated him with the utmost respect. Finally, the banquet officially began. As they ate, Cillian gave a toast to Sebastian and Andreas before he put his glass down and said, "Since a representative of the Ballard Estate is also present, there's something I would like to ask you!"Sebastian smiled at him and said, "It's alright, Mr. Shields Senior. You can ask whatever you want."Cillian put down his knife and fork and said with his brow furrowed, "I've heard that the Reincarnation Pill came into the secular world from the Ballard Estate. Is this true?"When Cillian had finished, Wyatt and Oliver both looked seriously at Sebastian.Sebastian smacked his lips and turned to look at Andreas. After all, this involved the secrets of the Ballards. If it were revealed and the Ballards were displeased, it would be sure to trigger a viol
"I know that you are magnanimous. Please have mercy on me, and I'll be sincerely grateful to you," Anton said. "These are a few properties under my name. Please accept them!"Sebastian raised an eyebrow and waved a hand at Anton as he said, "Get up. Let's leave the past behind. Just make sure you don't do it again. As for your properties, I'm not interested in them. You can take them all back."After all, Sebastian now owned all the properties of the Ballard family. Compared to the hundreds of billions there, the Wentworths' properties weren't even worth mentioning. Besides, he had let Anton go that day because Joaquin wasn't completely hopeless, even if he had made a few mistakes. He had no interest in either the Wentworths' properties or their influence in Boren."Mr. Ballard, if you won't accept them, I'll stay on my knees!"Anton didn't dare to get up, as Sebastian had refused to accept his allegiance.He had come specifically to give Sebastian his allegiance, not to get his
Blake turned and said respectfully to Sebastian, "Mr. Sebastian, it's like this. Madam Dragon found out that you were making a triumphant return, so she prepared a banquet and sent me to invite you to Ventus Estate.""Alright," Sebastian replied. "I won't decline then."If it were anyone else, Sebastian wouldn't have had to entertain them. However, he had to show respect to Belinda.They talked for a while more before they got up and headed to Ventus Estate.Rosalie hadn't planned on going, but when she heard that Oliver and Cillian were already there, she went with Sebastian and the others to Ventus Estate as well.Ventus Estate was decked out in festivity, and there were even banners hung up at the door. The elders were waiting at the entrance to welcome Sebastian. The car slowed to a halt, and Sebastian got out. Drake, Edward, and Gary hurried forward and greeted him, "We've been waiting here to greet you under Madam Dragon's orders, Mr. Ballard!""Please come inside!" Drake
After Andreas' assurance, he and Rosalie instantly grew closer. Rosalie chattered continuously for the rest of the trip, and asked several questions about the mystic martial arts.All her questions were very basic. Even so, Andreas and Adam patiently answered every single one of them, which gave Rosalie more understanding of the mystic martial arts."So the mystic martial arts are kind of a family?"Rosalie could clearly remember Trafford saying that he was now a mystic arts apprentice. That was why she had always thought that martial arts and mystic arts were completely different, and that the mystic arts were much more prestigious than martial arts.Sebastian shook his head and said, "Martial arts are the foundation for the mystic arts, but some people think there's a difference in status between them. This is just a misconception."Without a strong foundation in martial arts, one's rate of progress in the mystic sects will also be affected greatly."Andreas nodded and said, "T
Sebastian frowned and asked, "If I'm remembering things correctly, your chief elder has an old injury, doesn't he?"Waylen nodded vigorously and said, "That's right! Mr. Dane was injured by a masked man over 20 years ago. Although the injury was stabilized, it flared up several times over the years! This time, Mr. Dane…"Waylen didn't continue. It was clear that Alfred didn't have much time left.Sebastian frowned and said, "I'm afraid that I won't have time to go to your sect for now. However, here are three energy replenishing pills. Take them back and let him take them. If I can make the time, I'll go to the Condulus Sect."He took out the three remaining energy replenishing pills and handed them to Waylen and Ulric. They took the pills and thanked Sebastian profusely before leaving.Once they had gone, Rosalie got out of the car and eyed Andreas curiously as she asked, "Andreas, what were you holding just now? Why did Bryce disappear in a flash of flame?"Andreas laughed wr
